Brewer Attracts Notice
on Tech Freshman
Griffin High School football
will be interested in the
clipping from the Constitution
• garding John Brewer, for several
1 years a star in athletics at G. H. S.:
u The freshmen at Tech stepped
out
yesterday afteqiootwjnd beat the sec
ond varsity, won ap honest victory,
13 to 6. Something got into the
yearlings and they couldn’t be
stopped. Wright, a freshman who
hails from the same section of the
country as ‘Buck’ Flowers, and John
Brewer, who starred on teams at
Griffin High for three years, were
not in a mood to be halted and each
• of these boys had the temerity to
| carry the ball across the goal, the
former on a beautiful 70-yard end
run and the latter trotting 25 yards
for his touchdown.
Brewer made a great prep-school
record at Griffin High, where he was
a four letter man and a star in every
department. His passes, thrown with
his left hand, gained considerable
ground for the frosh. He will also
be further heard from before com
pleting his education at Tech.
Recently, Brewer scored the first
touchdown that the freshman team
has scored on the Tech varsity in
several years.

GEORGIA MAKING RAPID
PROGRESS PICKING COTTON
Washington, Oct. 15.—(By the As
sociated Press.)—Crop and weath-'
er eonditions Tn Georgia "were sum
marized today by the Department
of Agriculture as follows:
Georgia, very favorable harvest
ing weather. Conditions of cotton
were unchanged. Nearly all is open
and picking and ginning made rapid
progress. The crop is practically
all out in the southern and half
out in the central division.
The motto of that speeders’ school
should be: The less haste the more
speed.
A dollar Is worth its face value In
every corner of the world except at
home.
Primitive man was naked, but he
didn’t have sense enough to know It
was art.
The Ups and downs of political life
are second only to those of an elevator
operator.
Kicking won’t get you anywhere—
that is, unless you huppen to be a
chorus girt.
The actors and producers have
agreed and whatever they agree to Is
' all right with the public.

Jno. F. Clark & Company’s
\ Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 15.—Cotton rallied
40 points on cables, some trade buy
ing, moderate short covering and a
few purchases for a turn, then it
sagged 60 points into new lows ,pn
Southern and local selling coupled
with lack of sufficient demand. The
weakness in ^the late trading wi^i
due partly to" a report that a promi
nent Texas operator, usually bullish,
figured that state 4,750,000 bales jf
frost in 10 days.
The Texas and Oklahoma spot
basis was easier. Quite a lot of
cotton is headed for New York for
tender on October contract.
Sentiment averages bearish and
lower prices are probable with good
weather.
