Empire Tech Students’ Unbecoming Con duct Called Game Off Yesteaday; Only Apologies Allowed the Play The residents am! tax payers of Prince avenue want to know why it is that Prince avenue can't get h>r prorata share of work done, such as oiling the street, such as sprinkling :’iie street raking off the the dirt and carting it away.* Miliedge avenue had two oilings and now is being swept. 1 presume for tile purpose of another oiling. When the mayor and council oiled Miliedge avenue the first time they raid the pSxt oiling wifi on Prince, but so far Prince avenue has had none of theso luxuries It Is til ngest and widest street in the cit: nnd pays more taxes and I think it is v time for the residents of Prince tine to d- maud that something be done for them immediately in the of sprinkling or oiling and if complaints through the papers and therwise don’t suffice, then file a hill against mayor and council. (SignedI PRINCE AVENUE. (Special to the Banner.) Atalnta, Ga., May 16.—The base ball game, which was won today by Georgia 4 to Tech’s 1, came near be ing called off as the result of the thoughtless prank of some overzeal- ous Tech student. When President Matheson strolled around the campus this morning he found on tho roof of one of the Tech dormitories a sign with letters ten feet high and four thick read: “TO HELL WITH GEORGIA.” Immediately he got Into communi cation with Hon. Nat Harris, presi dent of the Board of Tmsteos, and Mr. Harris, who was already sore over the fact that Tech students one week ago burned Bob McWhorter In effigy, told President Matheson to call the game off. Then Tech students got busy, dis claimed all responsibility and tried their best to placate President Mathe son. All In vain. Finally they held a mass meeting, and passed resolu tions of apology to Georgia, and then and not till then, was the heart of the "proxy” softened, and a phone message to Col. Harris resulted In permission to play. Tech students declare that the sign was the work of some deluded sub-freshman, and deny all responsibility for It. Just the Reverse Spirit When Tech Came to Athens. l*ast week when the Tech team and student body came to Athens for two games thp Red and Black they found as they entered Sanford Field a huge banner just In the entrance welcom ing them to Athens and to Georgia. On either end of the banners w hupp pennants. on- representing Georgia the other Tech while the welcome" was in the colors of the two institutions. Georgia nnd her student body seems to have caught the spirit that has been urged by the alumni the paBt few years for a better and friendlier feeling between the two schools and are fostering it better than the At lanta connections with Tech. It will be remembered that a near riot was occasioned at a Georgia-Tech game only a few seasons ago by overzeal ous Tech students exhibiting a huge banner on the field that caused the dander of Georgians to rise to a point where two of them went for the sign In a .manner that it took the police present to quiet things down. Such practices as these never get anything and it is hoped that the incident of yesterday will furnish enough era liarrassment to the Techites for them to abandon such tactics. Several ministers of the city saw the "Manger to the Crops" picture at the- JMuUaHBsterday er last night cosyaendptorv ex- One preacher. Rev. Troy Beatty, said: ‘You may quote tup if you like. I think the picture is fine—and should be seen by as many, young and older folks, as can possibly get to see it.” Today is the last day—five reels— price 25c. Good orchestra and other features appropriate. By Percy H. Whiting. Tech Flats, May 16.—Tho Univer sity of Georgia defeated Tech here this afternoon in a pitchers’ battlo by a score of 4 to 1.

OF 0. INSTEAD V JUDGE SPEER Yesterday morning Chancellor Bar- row received in the morning’s mail an acceptance of an invitation ex tended some weeks ago to Hon. James Hamilton Lewis to deliver the annual baccalaureate address before the graduating class of the Univer sity of Georgia on commencement day next month. Judge Emory Sp^er was at the commencement occasion last year and then accepted tho Invitation to make the literary address for his Alma Mater this year. Business en gagements of a professional nature— in connection with his office of judge of the federal court of the southern district of Georgia—arose and he no tified the chancellor that however much he regretted it he would not be able to be present. The recently elected senator from the great state of Ilinois, Hon. J. Hamilton Lewis, for quite a number of years a resident and professional man of Georgia though not a native of this state nor an alumnus of the state institution here, was at once suggested: he was ask°d to make the address; he graciously accepted. He has had a remarkable career and his recent election was hailed by his hundreds of friends as the "coming into his own.” He is a speaker of brilliant gifts, an orator whose speech is an inspiration and a delight Hon. Eugene R. Black will deliver the alumni address, as announced; Dr. W. N. Ainsworth, of Macon, will preach the baccalaureate sermon.

There will be an exhibition next shown In the window that promises to eclipse anything yet shown. This Is nothing less than a new Invention In the form of a electrically operated typewriter that will write a hundred and eighty words per minute. “The only tjhdng the machine lacks,” said one of the men at the "Shop,” “is an attachment for spelling correctly." The new piece of electricity-driven mechanism has been received and will be installed in the window today or in a few days at farthest.
