PONCE DE LEON PARK. Nov. 2S. ■
Tech closed her season this afternoon
by defeating her ancient rival. Clem
son, by three touchdowns and two
goals, a total score of 20 to 0. The game
was in Tech's hands all the way, and
though the Tigers put up a valiant
defense at times, they never had a
look in. It was Tech's team work and
hard bucking that won the game. And
it was straight football, too. Hardly a
trick play made good, and only once
did a forward pass gain material
ground. Even this one went out of
bounds.
Perhaps 1,500 enthusiastic fans, the
smallest Thanksgiving ero vd in years,

frozen in others, and the going was
hard.
Tech’s backs pul up a brilliant game,
and the forwards held their own man
fully. Again and again the Jackets
bucked the Tiger line for gains straight
through, and seldom was the ball lost
on downs. Every now and then 1 lem

gains were few and their progress
never lasting. The ball was in the
Tiger territory nearl? alwav lid <ar -

Downy Blanket Falls
Unexpected! y Over
City. Finding Many
Unprepared--Nove!ty
Big Event for Old
and Young,
Atlanta’s first white Thanksgiving hc
the memory of man brought shouts
from the small boy and cries of “00-o
beautiful!” from his grown-up sister.
The snow-clad trees and the radiance
of the sunshine sparkling on the icy
foliage was a scene to delight the soul
of a painter. Hut the earliest snow on
record In Atlanta brought with it
something more than fun and beauty.
There was cold in the cabins of the
poor, the searching, biting cold which
comes only with a snow storm. There
was lack of food In many of these
homes of the humble. There were
hundreds of families who saw only the
bread of charity for their Thanksgiving
dinner, while all the world seemed
feasting on turkey and oyster dressing.
The white feast day was a black fast
day for many an Atlanta child.
Early in the day the line began to
form at tile office of City Warden
Thomas Evans. Most of the others of
the city hall force had taken a holiday,
but when the first flakes fell last night
the warden knew there would be no
holiday for him. He was at his desk
I today before most of Atlanta had
I sipped its breakfast coffee, but the !
I poor were even earlier than he.
At the Associated Charities the de
mands for aid show no apparent in
' crease early in the day. The snow
brought demands for immediate re
lief, and the sufferers Evidently pre
ferred the coal and food from the war
den'.l/ office to the prospect of more
lasting aid from the association. Sec
retary Logan said the snow would be
too temporary to cause much suffer
ing. He did not anticipate an In
creased demand of more than ten per
cent.
500 MASONS OF HIGH
DEGREE WILL HOLD
REFECTION TONIGHT
Five hundred members of the Masons
of the Scottish Rile in Atlanta will
gather at their sixth general convoca
tion refection (annual banquet) to
night at 8 o’clock at the Piedmont. A
reception will be held preceding the
dinner, at 7:30 o’clock.
All thirty-second and thirty-third de
gree Masons will attend In full dress,
and the affair promises to be one of the
must successful since the yearly cus
tom was established.
A number of candidates took the
thirty-second degree at the Masonic
temple this morning at 9:30 o'clock,
and they will have charge of the ban-,
quet.
The gathering brings together all of
the various local branches of Masons in
the Scottish Rite.

Ordinance To Be Passed at
Next Meeting to Prohibit
These Gambling Devices.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
TO TAKE IT UP TOMORROW
Councilman Charles W. Smith, i-nair
man of the council committee on leg
islation. said today that an ordinance
would be passed at the next rm ( ting
of council absolutely prohibiting the
use of slot gambling machines in sa
loons and locker clu) ?
"I have called a meeting of the com- I
mittee on legislation for tomorrow aft- i
ernoon at 2 o'clock.” lie said. “At that ' '
meeting an ordinance wiping out this
infamous system undoubtedly will be (
adopted. From the expressions of tiie
other members of the committee. Al- I
dermen James E. Warren and John S. .
Candler,” Councilmen Claude C. Mason
and Clarence Haverty, 1 feel sure 'hat '
they think as I do. I
“We ?vould have considered this mat
ter at the meeting of tin- committee 1
Tuesday, but no quorum was present. 1
Aiderman Candler, as acting mayor, is 1
so busy that he may not be able to at
tend the meeting tomorrow. Council- 1
man Haverty is out of tiie city and is
not expected back by that time. But '
the other three of us are sufficient to
formally recommend an ordinance to ;
council, and T think council wiil adopt I
the ordinance forthwith.” •
Hands Tied, Beavers Save.
Police Chief Beavers said the slot ,
machines are tiie most cunning gam
bling device ever used in Atlanta. He
said he had not proceeded against them
because W. I). Ellis, Jr., assistant city
attorney, had signed a written agree
ment witli John W. Moore, attorney for
the Atlanta Gum Company, which owns
a large number of the machines, that
the city would not prosecute any of the
‘owners of the machines for gambling
until the higher courts decided whether
the operation of such machines was a
game of chance.
With proper legal instructions, Chief
Beavers said he would at once stoj all
use of the machines.
The opinion of W. G. Humphrey,
chairman of the police committee of
council, is that the machines should be
barred from saloons and locker clubs,
whether they are gambling devices or
not. Regardless of the phase of the '
law with which Attorney Ellis is deal
ing, members of council have decided to
stop this gambling through their au
thority to regulate the conduct of near
beer saloons and locker clubs.
