Tech, with its two first-year varsity
members in the line-ap, will take tne
field against the invading Auburn
eleven in the annual classic on Grant
Field. Coach Mike Donahue, of the
Plainsmen, avows that the Tech au
thorities are violating their agree
ment, but states that Auburn will
play when Referee ‘“Jogger” Elcock
sounds the opening whistle at 2
o'clock
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
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.
b 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 clash.
Since the Pennsylvania-Tech game
the Plainsmen acknowledge that the
scrubs have been using the famous
Tech shift against the varsity. Dona
hue states his men have been taught
to shift so speedily and to crash into
the play so experily that he expects
the Auburn line to stop the waunted
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
youthful fullback is not in perfect
trim, and Coach Heisman is consider
ing the use of Guill at fullbacu.
Should the plucky voungster be
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 =0 many oppo
nents will be prominent in the stand
that Tech will take to add Auburn to
the list of opponents.
Tech 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.
9. 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 body,
with the famous cadet band, will ar
rive on its special train ‘rom Au
burn this morning. Several hundred
are coming from Birmingham, in
cluding City Commissioner John Tay
lor. Should the misty weather clear
up, it is believed that the 1916 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 Field
when the elevens clash.
From all points in the South the
followers of the two teams have

Tabernacle Mortgage |
T
Not Burned, But More
. . I
Time Has Been Given
oA t
The mortgage on the Baptist ’
Tabernacle was not burned at the
Thanksgiving morning service, as
scheduled—but neither was the
mortgage foreclosed. It was an
nouncéd that at the hour set for
the service, in spite of the stream
of $1 contributions that had been
pouring in, sufficient funds had
not been received to pay off the
debt in its entirety.
The Rev. J. W. Ham, pastor of
the Tabernacle and directing the
“dollar campaign,” is not at all
downcast,
“Ths is the greatest day of
thanksgiving this church has ever
known,” he said, “and our day of
ultimate victory is only post
poned. The burning of the mort
gage is to take place on Christ
mas Day, without fail. In the
meantime, the mortgage will be
carried for us. Atlanta has been
confranted with a number of

Bears Qut Promise
Of Food Directors
The first proof that the food
administrators “know what they
are talking about” has been
brought out
D. F. McClatehey, in an inter
view published in The Georgian
more than a week ago, predicted
a plentiful supply of turkeys for
Thanksgiving, at no increase,
more probably a decrease in
price,
Th> same issue contained a
statement from local wholesaiers
to the effect that turkeys would
be scarce, and that the price
would be sky-hig A price of
from 45 to 50 cents was esti
mated.
Wednesday local markets were
flooded with turkeys. Nice dressed
turkeys =cld at 30 cents a pound.
YARTER CONFESSES TO
WHOLESALE ROBBERY
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Nov. 29.-—The Germans
continue to rush fresh troops for the
defense of Cambrai.
Digpatch»s from the front today
told of the concentration of strong
German forces in the sectors of Bour
lon and Fontaine Notre Dame under
the protection of a terrific bombard
ment which the German artillery kept
up against the British positions.
During the lull in the infantry
fighting the British defenses were
oW G g g i
strengthened in the expectation of a
renewal of German counter attacks.
North of the Bapaume-Cambrai
road, where the British lines approach
closest to Cambrai, the Germans at
tempted to dislodge the British from
high ground, but were driven off with
severe losses.
A dispatch from Amsterdam told ot
the violent cannonade on the West
Flanders front. The sound of the
firing can be heard all the way across
Belgium.
Field Marshal Lulendorff, chief of
staff to Von Hindenburg and known
as “the brains of the German army,”

the West Flanders front preparing
for a counter blow.

In Week Just Ended
LONDON, Nov. 29.—The 21 British

WASHINGTON, Nov, 29.—Crowded
conditions and lack of winter clothing
‘are asoribed 8s causes of 3,000 cases
lof measles, with 300 cases of resultant
rpnfinmomu and 60 deaths at Camp
Wheeler, Macon, Ga., according to a
report submitted today by Surgeon
General William C. Gorgas. The gen
eral demands 50 feet of floor space for
each soldier and winter clothing for
all,
It s known that a similar epidemia
of measles i 8 in progress at Camp
Sevier, at Qreenville, 8 €, and at
certain other Southern camps, but ofk
ficiald said today that everywhers
conditions are now improving. Theg
say that winter supplies now are bew
ing rushed to all of the Southerm
camps, as the men in the Norfhern
camps are at last folly supplied.
The complete report of Surgeon
General Gorgas to the chief of staft zs
made public today was as followss
“In my recent inspection of Camp
Wheeler at Macon, Ga., T found con
ditions as had been indicated by vew
ports. There had been a sharp epte
demic of measles, sofme 3,000 cases,
and, as always occurs with meastes, @
certain number of cases as pneumonfi.,
At the time of my visit there Wy
some 300 cases of pneumonia in the
hospital. While the hospital wae
crowded the right of way was giveny
to the pneumonia cases and heyweng
being well cared for,
Sixty Deaths in Month,
“In the past month there hawe been
about 60 deaths from pneumonia, The
height of the measles epldemic was
passed some ten days ago and at the
time of my visit the epddemic wun
'markedly on the decline. The pnetie
monia does not develop until a weelk
or ten days after the incidence of #he
measies.
“We ean, therefore, expect a oome
siderable number of deaths from
pneumonia.
“The camp #s well situatod ad
was in generally good eond.ifiomJ
think the reason for the measles -
fecting this particular camp s the
fact that the men came from the sure
rounding Southern States, which are
sparsely scttled, and therefore the in
habitants do not, as a rule, hawd
measles in childhood,
“A large proportion of the cases as
pneumonia were evidently contracted
cases and 1 am anxious on this score,
fearing that we may be beginning
here an epidemic of septic pneus
monia. We have had a few cases ol
meningitis a few cases of scariet
