There were two reasons for this decision, one that he gets paid for it and the other he had no alternative except to retire from base ball. ... Clyde Engle, of the world’s champions, has stated in Boston that he believes George Stallings will make good with a rush as manager of the Braves. "I played under him and I know what kind of a manager he is,” said Clyde. Olaf Henriksen alleges he was offered SSOO a week in vaudeville and that he declined, as his family didn’t like the idea.

Steve Crump, “Dutch” Sancken, Ed Dorsey, Hooks Awtrey, Irwin Wood and Ed Broyles, who played in most of the early season games, will have added experience next fall and should make good men.

The Bessemerites have always put up a fine scrap in Atlanta. This game will give the public a chance to judge whether or not there is any truth in the rumors that a "real” team is rep resenting the club this year.

Heisman's rank y/V ing of Southern football teams was published in The Georgian it aroused a storm of protest. "How in the world can Heisman rank Auburn in the same class with Georgia when Georgia beat Auburn in the Thanksgiving day game. 12 to 6?” was asked by hundreds. With a view of leaving the mat ter of the relative ranking to some person who was entirely unpreju diced it was put up to Dan Mc- Gugin, coach of the Vanderbilt football team. It was felt that he would have no hesitation in ranking his own team first—which he did. It was felt that he would be sure to give both Auburn and Georgia full credit and to consider the ques tion on a basis of the whole sea son’s showing. Naturally there was a genuine Ilabbergastation when McGugin ranked Georgia fourth and Auburn only third. Here is McGugin’s reply to the query; as to how he would rank the first four teams in the S. I. A. A. The task of ranking the first four football teams Is one I have usually side-stepped. I have also almost invariably avoided select ing an All-Southern team, feeling It might be better to save the feelings of some of my men. My own opinion is that the gen eral strength of the first four teams would place them relative ly as follows: Vanderbilt, Sewanee, Auburn, Georgia. While Vanderbilt was tied by Auburn and beat Sewanee 16 to 0, my Judgment is that Sewanee was stronger offensively, and as strong defensively. Auburn and Sewanee were fortified with punters of about equal rank, with Glllem punting as he did In the Thanks giving day game and Shea su perior. I have not seen Georgia since the Vanderbilt-Georgia game, and, therefore, can not have an accur ate opinion of the strength of Georgia Thanksgiving day. I feel that the Vanderbilt game weakened Auburn very materially for her Thanksgiving game. I feel that Auburn was weakened by the Vanderbilt-Auburn game consid erably more than Vanderbilt.
