Well, the expected has come to pass. Georgia has been suspended by Professor Holmes, vice presi dent for this state of the S. I. A. A., And thorough probes into am ateur athletic affairs will no doubt come thick and fast until all the “ringers” have been banished. Athletics in this state will certainly be benefited by this action and a healthy condition will prevail.’ Davis and Sims, of Tech, arc said to be under suspicion, but up to the present time nothing serious has developed and the team is now in Nashville to meet Vandy. Let the good work proceed. 8trenuons sailing looms just ahead for three important Geor gia teams. On Saturday afternoon the Tech team will face the most powerful footbail machine in the South this year, the famous Van derbilt team, conqueror of everything she has met save Michigan and the Navy, whieh latter team she played to a backed-up stand-still. We did not lmther to state above that it was our opinion that Vanderbilt was going to beat Tech. Time was when we opined that the local players might give Vanderbilt a rub. But that was before Vanderbilt proved as stout as she is today and.before the ghastly catastrophes began to happen to the local team. In our opinion Vanderbilt ought to run up about four or at the very outside five touchdowns on the Yellow Jackets. It is more likely to be less than more. If the Jackets play as well against Vanderbilt all through the game as they did against Se- wanee in the second half the Commodores will be lucky to get off with three touchdowns. There is always a possibility that any team will score on any other team and there is an especial possibility that Tech will score on Vanderbilt, for the local men have been trained to get down on the ball, and because Costen, who plays hack for Van derbilt, haa developed a distressing way of fumbling punta. However, unless Tech has luck, the local team is unlikely to score. Among the lesser Georgia teams Mercer and Gordon are two of the most popular and considerable interest centers in the meet ing of the pair, which takes place Saturday at Macon. The settling of state football championships is always highly entertaining this year. an in teresting pastime and has proved Tech took the Georgia championship when she beat Georgia, though the formality of the Mercer gaino November 23 must be gone through with to give her a clear title. Clemson is without competition, practically, in South Caro lina. The Tennessee colleges yet have an argument, hut it will be settled Thanksgiving Day when Vanderbilt and Sewnnee meet. The Louisiana teams have never been able to settle their dif ference so the championship of that atate is an open question and always will be. The Mississippi championship is not decided until Thanks giving Day. But the Alabama title goes to Alabama or Auburn after the game at Birmingham Saturday. Little doubt is felt here but that Auburn will get the call. The Alabama "Polys” look like the third plane team in the S. 1. A. A. this year and ought not to have any trouble with Ala bama. They claim over at Auburn that Alabama has “ringers” DISAPPOINTED? SURE! Bah! Jove. NO GAME SATURDAY; GEORGIA SUSPENDED TECH TEAM ARRIVES IN NASHVILLE Local Players Have Signal Practice on Dudley Field Friday. By PERCY H. WHITING. Nashville. Tenn., Nov. 15.—The Geor gia School of Technology football team arrived In Nashville at 6:30 thin morn ing, and after breakfast at the Tulane and a little loaf, the team hit out for Dudley field, where the bunch was put through a snappy signal practice. The surprise of the trip to Nash ville was the fact that Luck and John son were allowed to go. Up to Thursday noon the pair was In bad standing with the faculty, but It was put up to this body so strong that a slight melting took place in the hearts of the directors of athletic des- jtlny and Lurk and Johnson were sent ‘ along.

Macon, Ga., Nov. 15.—There will be no Georgla-CIemson football game to morrow. The Georgia team Is down and out so far as games with other colleges In the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association are concerned until after the fehatges of profession alism against Georgia have been In vestigated.

Nov. 16.—The 8e- wanee team was scheduled to play the Southwestern Presbyterian University at Sewanee on November 16, but ow ing to the heavy achedule already played and the present bruised condi tion of the team, Saturday's gome has been cancelled. Nothing material onuld be gained from playing 8. W. P. as the score would probably be a large one In Sewanes’s favor. The Sewanee team now has all Its games behind them, save the deciding struggle with Vnnderbllt on Turkey Day. In eight games Sewanee has scored 238 points to her opponents’ 10, and 4 of these tallied from field goal. Only once this year has the purple goal line been crossed. Barrett is suffering from a broken nose that some Yellow Jacket gave him as a memento of last Saturday's vigorous occasion. Lex Stone Is also on the sick list.

LOCAL COLORED TEAM PLAYS GOOD FOOTBALL Virginia and Georgetown ought, to furnish a good game. Both teams are somewhat off thia year, but ought to be reaaonably evenly matched.

The local team played recently In Augusta ngainst the South Carolina State University (colored) team from Orangeburg and defeated It 45 lo 0. The Augusta papers spoke very highly of the playing of the local team and the referee, who was an old University of Georgia player, said that It was one of the best played (aVnes he had ever seen.

Athena. Ga„ Nov. 15.—In a at Moment made public luat night. Profeaitor 8. V. Hanford, athletic director of the Uni versity of Georgia, denied charges made agalnat the Georgia team, and Insists that the athletic management and the faculty have no evidence that any money was uaed to hire playera In the game with Tech. Professor Hanford denied aeveral statements made by Grantlanu Rice In his story In The Nashville Tennessean. He denies that Georgia held secret practice ten days before the Tech game: that the bulk of the undergrad uate body had ever seen or heard of the members of the team before the game, and that any player received money or expenses from the Georgia management. "If there was a man on the Georgia team,” he says, "who played for money, no member of the faculty or the ath letic management was cognisant of tho fact.” Profeaaor Sanford further states that every member of the team registered regularly, and that those never before students of the university were ques tioned closely aa to their reasons for entering college. He admits that one man was found to have registered un der an assumed name, and declares this man was prohiptly sent home by Chancellor Barrow. He states that later another man was found who was In eligible. and they declined to allow him to play. It Is declared by the protestor that so vigilant was the faculty that four men who registered and did not attend classes were dropped, and that It was believed these registered for football purposes, but were restrained by the vigilance of the faculty. "The athletic management of the university," said Professor Hanford, "and the faculty have no evidence of the us# of money with which to hire players on the Georgia team, ft have been used an*l It may not been. Certainly if It was used It was without the knowledge of the athletic department of the university or the faculty." Professor Sanford said further that the faculty has to rely on the nutnes given by the men In registering, but that the authorities have no knowledge of any concealment of names, nnd that at all times the faculty has acted promptly In Investigating Ineligible • players. The statement of Professor Sanford * (s backed up by one from E. H. Dor * : sey. treasurer of the University Ath- » letlc Association, declaring that not a cent ha/j been paid by the athletic as sociation to players on the football team or to others for them or In any way to Induce men to play. $850 Gain $1.00 a week puts this "Eagle” your Home. tnmw heat to the floor.
