ATLANTA, Nov. 14.—The Geor gia squad numbering 41 players ar rived in Atlanta for their clash with, Georgia Tech at Grant Field this af ternoon at 2 o’clock. The game will be the hardest fought game in football and will be witnessed by more than 40,000 fans coming from all over the south. The great interest in the game is caused by the fact that this is the first time in nine years that the two strong teams have clashed. The dope in this city was that the , game would be a toss up, with neith- ! er team a decided favorite. Boßth j teams have held back their strength forthis game, using second string players for other games in order that they might have their best for today’s clash. The Georgia Tech eleven out weighed the University of Georgia eleven by twenty pounds and some think that this will be the difference will carry the Tech aggregation The last game between Georgia and Tech resulted in a victory of 21 to 0 in favor of Tech, that was'-in 1916 and the things that happened after that game have gone down in college history.

Coach McKee who is known all over the Southwest for his clean sportsmanship, his fairness and his desire to see the game played clean 'as issued the following statement requesting that it be published: “Early in the second half Dawson had punted on fourth down and the punt was blocked by an Americus man, but Dawson recovered the ball behind its line of scrimmage, and the referee ruled that it was Dawson’s ball, first down. "This was contarary to sec. 3. Rule 18, Spalding’s Official Football Guide, which states: ‘When a kick ed ball is blocked by eithter side or tor any reason does not cross the line oi scrimmage, it may be recov ered by either side, but if a member of the kicking side recovers it, the play shall count a down, the point to he gained remaining th" same.’ “it is clear from the above that on the play described, the ball should have gone over to Americus, since Dawson had had four downs, and had not made their necessary gain. But the referee ruled it was Daw son’s ball, first down. It should have been Americus’ ball, first down and the decision was clearly con trary to the rules. ‘One the play which resulted in our forfeiting the game exacllv the re verse had happened, it was fourth, down and Ansley punted. The ball was blocked by a Dawson man and Ansley recovered, but this time the referee insisting on interpreting the rule correctly and ruled that it was Dawson’s ball, first down. A mericu ‘There was considerable dispute concerning whether the ball was blocked by an Americus player or a Dawson player, the referee claiming that the punt was blocked by an Americus player and giving this as his reason for his decision. As a matter of fact it mates no difference who blocked the punt. The same ruling should have been given in each 1 case. “In the first half Americus was penalized 45 yards and Dawson not one, yet the Dawson boys were con tinually holding and using other tac tics that were unfair. It was evi i dent that the officials were looking I only for opportunities to penalize i Americus an dwere closing their eyes ’ to the violations committeed by thte Dawson men. “The field was not properly laid off, none of the lines being straight In several places the lines varied by straight line and they were ignored by the boy who acted as head lines man, he simply guessing as to po sition of the ball without regard to its position Relative to any line."
