Tech, with its two first-year varsity ’
members in the line-up, will take tne |
field against the invading Auhurnl
eleven in the annual classic on Grant
Field. Coach Mike Donahue, of tho!
Plainsmen, avows that the Tech au- l
thorities are violating their agree-!
ment, but states that Auburn willl
play when Referee “Jogger” Elcock
sounds the opening whistle at 2
o'cloek.
The Tigers. following the shift of
Styles to right end and the placing of
Martin at left tackie, are fit for the
engagement and are confident that
they will hold the ¢championship Tech l
eleven to a low score. Their faith in
Duke Ducote and Harkie Revington.{
the stars of the backfield, is firm.
Auburn contends that Ducote will
take rank with either of the Tech trio
—Hill, Strupper or-Guyon—and that
he will earn it today.
All the cunning and crafty knowl
edge that is stored in the brains of
the rival coaches—J. W. Heisman and
Mike Donahue—will be brought into
play when the two elevens c‘lash{
Since the Pennsylvania-Tech game‘
the Plainsmen acknowledge that the
scrubs have been using -the f;mmus'
Tech shift against the varsity. l)nna—'l
hue states his men have been taught
to shift so speedily and to crash into
the play so expertly that he expects
the Auburn line to stop the vaunted
maneuver. |
Auburn’s One Big Battle,
“It is the one game that I have been
looking to as the one big battle,”
(Coach Donahue stated last night, “and
I shall spring everything that I have.
My men are fit for the game, and
Tech will know that she has a real
opponent.”
Tech will start with Marshall Guill,
at left end; Fincher, at left tackle,
and Judy Harlan, at fullback. The
vouthful fullback is not in perfect
trim, and Coach Heisman is consicer
ing the use of Guill at fullbach.
Should the plucky youngster Dbe
placed in the backfield, Fincher will
go to left end and Higgins will be
brought into tackle. ;
Heisman is expected to accentuate
his attack, .varying it by new forma
tions that he has held in reserve for
just such an occasion. 'The forward
pass that bewildered o many oppo
nents will be prominent in the stand
that Tech will take to add Auburn to !
the list of opponents.
Mech will go at top speed, for there
are three great objects in seeking to
crush Auburn:
1. By registering 20 points ‘Tech
will surpass the Navy and take rank
of the leading point scorer for 1917.
2. As Auburn held the Western
champions to a 0-0 score, it will give
the Jackets positive position over
Ohio State.
3. A victory over Auburn will mean
three full seasons without a defeat
and will insure highest rank.
Auburn Band Is Here.
Auburn will not be without its
supporters. The entire student boly,
with the famous cadet band, will ar
rive on its special ‘train ‘rom Au
purn this morning. Several hundred
are coming from Birmingham, in
cluding City Commissioner John Tay
jor. Should the misty weather clear
up, it is believed that the 1316 at
tendance figure of 9,000 will be ex
ceeded by a good margin. Manager
Collins, of the Tech team, believes
that 12,000 will be on Grant Ficld
when the elevens clash. g
From all points in the South the
tollowers of the two teams have

flocked to Atlanta. The hotels can
give no reservations.
Auburn is relying upon the fight
ing spirit for which the Alabamans
are renowned to check the Tech
eleven, If the forwards can stop the
sweeping end runs and the vicious
line plunges of Strupper, Guyon, Har
lan and Hill, the Orange and the
Blue are confident that Duke DuCote
can rip the Tech line. =
Auburn is unreasoning in its con-
The players, to the man, express
the belief that Auburn will win. Those
who concede a Tech victory state it
will be by one or two touchdowns.
There has been comparatively lit
tle wagering. Few bets have been
recorded, atlhough even money is of
fered that Tech will win by four
touchdowns, and that Auburn will
not cross the goal line. The bettors
are somewhat wary about Ducote’s
ability to kick placements from the
field. They are willing to offer 3 to
5 that the mighty man of Aaburn
will not do this.
Although Elcock will officiate as
referee and J. €. Councilman, of V.
P. I, will serve as head linesman,
the two teams have not been able
to secure an umpire. Cosgrove, of
Cornell, declined to accept after -
ing named. Last night George Wa‘-
kins, of Sewanee, was notified that
he would be satisfactory, but it is
not known whether or not re will
be in a position to, officiate. It is
believed he has beefn previously en
gaged. /
Feeling Aroused.
The decision of Tech to play first
yearmen has caused no litle hard
feeling betwen the two institutions.
Tom Bragg, graduate director of
athletics, will issue a statement to
day, it is expected, in which he wi'!
charge Tech with a breach of faith
Coach Donahue avowed that ne had
repeated assurnces Tech would not
play freshmen, but Dr. Wallace, of
Tech, stated that he announced
Tech’s position at a meeting of the
Southern conference as being unwiii
ing to agree to this.
There is one angle of the clasvic
that is unique.
‘Walker Carpenter, tacklz and canp
tain of Tech; Cy Bell, rignt end, and
Albert Hill, quarterback, will appear
in their final game for the Yeilow
Jackets. Three of the zroutes: play
ers who ever wore the spangles of

it expands real estate demands increase, values go higher.
There are other conditions known to all, which make
real estate investment now a wise move. Use judgment
a~d foresight and invest. Read the offerings in The Geor

State to Combat De Saulles
Pleading of Lapse of Mem
ory on Fatal Day.
(By International News Service.)
MINEOLA, LONG ISLAND, Nov.
29.—T0 love is to live—to lose that
love is to kill.
The foregoing sentence epitomizes
one phase of the DeSaulles lru;:wly'
certain to be brought out in the clos
ing arguments by the defense.
Another angle of the case may be
phrased as follows:
One may be driven to a precipice;
should that one be pushed over, all
responsibilty on the part of the vic
tim ceases. ‘
And so it will be argued in the case
of Blanca DeSaulles, who shot and|
killed her former husband on the night |
’of August 3 and who is on trial here |
| for murder. !
It may be argued that she shot him|
i because she loved him; shot him aflm'!
‘sv-vinp: the uselessness of flattery and
lvn(l«-uring terms. '
| Mrs. DeSaulles admitted on cross
ll-x:nninntion that she resorted to 11:1t~l
Iwry in the hope of “bringing himl
| back.”
I “Most women do that,” she added. I
| Novelists—writers of fiction and
fact—have painted the picture of u‘
l women who loves; a woman who, hy‘
l\’n'mv of that love, does not snrrvlhl
i der the object of her affections with
| out the bitterest struggle—even douth.'
‘ This is one of the viewpoints ad-!
. ! vanced by her counsel and by ht-r]
attending physicians, Dr. J. Sherman
Wight. Her physician argues that
,| such was the case of Blanca De
|| Saulles, the warm-blooded Latin girl
',.(»f Chile, who loved her husband, Jack |
| DeSaulles, and Kkilled him. |
~§ The presentation of the svumd§
‘i phase is practically a continuation of |
;: the first. She ar /ed at the precipice
“I;:lvt.' when failure toppled her over— !
she was not responsible. |
’ The State, cold to the argument of
| sentimentalism, is ready to attaca
;]frmn an entirely different angle |
The prosecution will argue what it
.| terms “the fallacy of hypothryeosis,
, | the result of a depressed fracture of
1| the skull.”
‘ Mrs. DeSaulles has testified she
- suffered a lapse of memory from Au
__};zxuf 3, the date of the killing, until
“\uuu.d 13. Hypothryeosis caused this
