fi"\ Th’ world is too little for
AR folks with th’ swelled head.
& Sometimes it looks like th’
a 4 milk of human kindness has
Iy all clabbered.
Y
Complete and final arrangements
were made Tuesday night at the
Piedmont Hotel between Capt. Albert
Jordan and Prof. W. A, Sutton of
Tech High and Col. Sandy Beaver
of Riverside for the game Saturday
at Grant Field, in which Tech High
and Riverside will settle their 0-0 tie
game of some weeks back. 2i'e
The athletic association of both
schools feel their teams have the best
ciaim to the State title, and conse
quently think that the winner of
Saturday’s game should be awarded
the State championship.
)Although it can not be called a
cpampionship contest, the winner
/ill have more scalps on his belt
than any other schoool in the State,
and should they elect to play G. M.
C. the title will be settled on thé
gridiron.
NOISE A-PLENTY.
The game will be plyaed at Grant
lli‘eld and the admission to this, the
€ st game this year, will be sl. The
student bodies of both schools, I un
derstand, will attend the game, and
there should be some lively cheering.
Much has been said and written
as 10 the relative strength of th 2 two
teams, They have met each other
once and the result was a tie zame.
Later Riverside defeated Boys’ High
in Gainesville, 21-0, while Tech High
turned the trick in Atlanta last Sat
urday, 3-0. This would give Rive--
side the edge in the dope. The tie
game was played in a sea of mud and
water, as were the other two.
- 1 am of the opinion that both elev
ens will resort to the kicking game
in?l.ead of trying to advance the ball
with end runs and bucks. River
side is very strong in the field goal
line, having in T. B. Lewis the best
kicker in the State.
JORDAN CAN KICK. -
Tech High showed they also could
score by this manner 'when it was
necessary. That 40-yard placement
kick of Jordan’'s-last Saturday has
caused much wonderment, and should
both * elevens elect to try the field
goal system of scoring it should be
pretty much of a battle.
Of course, the style of play each
team will use is more speculation
tlran anvthing else. But Tech High
realizes that Riverside has watched
its system of play in at least four
games. Some trick plays they were
unable to use-last Saturday because
ni}tk* condition of the field may
¢ome lato use in this game,
Riverside is also a tricky and well
¢oached set of gridders, and what
they will uncork remains to be seen.
Every game sees them with some
new plays, and this should be a battle
of tricks as well as brain.

star in track, excelling in the 100 and
200-yard dashes, and the quarter mile
run.
"Phe captain-elect was born in Bir

his preparatory schooling at the Bay-
Jor School, Chattanooga. He has two
more years in college, and two more

The Athietic Board of Control, upon
recommendation of Coach Abell, has
awarded fifteen football letters, to the

LONDON, Dec. 4.—Georges Car
pentier and Joe Beckett rested Wed
nesday for their twenty-round con
test in the Holborn Stadium tonight.’
Both men are reported to be in the
pink of condition. The betting strong
ly favored the English champion.
There were some quotations that
showed him almeost a 2 to 1 favorite.
A large number of Parisians swelled
the crowd attracted by the contest,
but their arrival made no difference
in the feeling that the fight will go
Beckett's way.
CARPENTIER NOT STRONG
ENOUGH.
Many fistic followers who have
sized up both men are inclined to
think that Carpentier is not strong
enough for a grueling twenty-round
contest, but that he will succumb to
the savage rushes of the burly Briton.
Beckett appears to be able to ab
sorb more punishment than the
clever French champion can inflict,
Were the fight to go the twenty
rounds and to be decided by points,
the feeling is that Carpentier might
gain the decision, as he is a much
more clever boxer than the English
man. But Beckett is known to be
out to make a bitter fight and if
he rushes the attack- as is planned,
Carpentier must expect to take a bad
beating, if indeed he is able to last
to the end, .
}ONDON SCRIBES DIFFER.
London sporting writers are at va
riance in picking the winner. While
the Daily Mail is outspoken in say
ing Beckett will win, the Standard
says that most fight experts are
leaning to Carpentier. The Daily
Express says the prospect is far too
close a fight to warrant a prediction.
Not in many years has London been
so excited over a ring contest. Pro
moter Cochran says that he could
have disposed of more than 75,000 ad
ditional tickets if he had had seating
facilities.. The nobility will be rep
resented by hundreds of men, bear
ing distinguished titles, and many
prominent women are known to have
been provided with excellent seats for
the occasion.
The Prince of Wales, fresh from
his American tour, will be one of the
distinguished spectators.
The promoters have settled on B.
J. Angle, who has refereed many im
portant fights, as the judge of points.
WINNER TO MEET DEMPSEY.
Promoter Cochran has madé all
plans to match the winner of to
night’s fight against Jack Dempsey.
He will probably sail for New York
some time next week. He has hopes
of being able to entice Dempsey to
London for the contest. He is pre
pared to offer him as much as $50,-
000 for a match.
American fight followers here do
not believe that either Beckett or
Carpentier would prove much of a
match for Dempsey. Carpentier is not
rugged enough to withstand long the
savagery of the Dempsey attack and
Beckett dogs not know enough about
the sciencé of boxing to keep away
from the erican’s clever blows.
Each of tonight's contestants is
anxicus to go 3 America—if there
is eaough monewin it. But Cochran
believes it would bhe easier to gather
a high priced crowd in London than
in the United States, and is therefore
prepared to bid pretty high in order
to stage the prospective bout in this
city.

NEW YORK, Dec. #.—The tactlonal!
| fight in the American League is tast!
approaching a show-down. ‘
Well posted baseball men here to
|day expressed the belief that when '
the magnates get together differences
will be patched up and concessions
made by both sides. Meanwhile ar
guments in the injunction suit of the
“insurgents” will be heard here to
day. :
If rumors to the effect that the op
posing factions are tiring of internal
strife are true, all will be well. Ot.her-l
wise the very foundation of the
| American League may tremble. ‘
Colonel T. L. Huston, who with
Messrs. Ruppert Comiskey and Fra
zee, is conducting the campaign to
“clip the wings” of President Ban
Johnson, made this prediction today.
Colonel Huston said:
“All we aim to do is to put an end
to arbitrary power in our league. I
have no definite idea how it will end.
1 can say, however, that unless a
satistactm\g settlement is reached
there will be a battle that will make
the Federal League war look like a
skirmish.”
Asked regarding reports that thel
[faction to which he belongs had been
approached by peace-makers the
colonel remarked:
“We have heard indirectly that it is
the sense of a majority of the club
owners that the matter should and
can be amicably patched up, but we
had reason to believe that those who
put out feelers did so without autho
rization.
“But surely the club owners will not
‘permit the league to be split up,” was
suggested. ‘“The financial interests
involved are too great.”
“You never can tell what may hap
pen in baseball” the colonel replied.
Frank Navin, president of the De
troit Club, is in town on a “business
trip.” The owner of the Tigers says
he has no feeling of animosity toward
any one and deplores the unpleasant
situation in the league.
Though they are unwilling to openly
admit anything, the writer learn
from an unquestionable source thag
the “insurgent directors” probably
will be perfectly satisfiéd if the so
called “arbitrary powers” of Presi
dent Johnson are curtailed.
In the event that the five clubs
now lined up with big Ban will con
cede some points the disgruntled
factionaries will call off their war. At
the outset, they were out to Yget
Johnson's scalp.”

When Boss John Dee Martin, high razzum-gazzum of the Southern
League, and league directors from the eight cities in the cirouit meet
in Memphis this month and begin blowing smoke clouds ceilingward and
pouring lubricants floorward, there promises to be some lively stuff going
on, }
There's an insurgent movement already forming and the conspirators
are going to Memphis bent on putting one over. If they are successful
in steam rolling their idea across the table, Dixie baseball fans will see
a faster brand of game than that served during the past summer.
Those in on the groundfloor of the intrigue department say that
amendments will be introduced calling for a more generous player limit,
a bulkier salary limit and a partial abandonment of the seven-rookie rule,
which did so much to lower the class of the game in the Cotton Belt last
season,
And, it is also being whispered around, but the tones are quite audible,
that the 140-game idea is to be pigeon holed, and that at least 150 games
will be placed on the schedule next year,
Bk @ R E e e e
LONGER SCHEDULE SOUGHT.
Ther¢ are a few directors, but I
don’t know whether they are in the
majority or minority, who want to
put the league on a schedule basis
close akin to the one enjoyed by the
Pacific Coast League.
It is pointed out by these cham
pions of the new idea that September
is always-an ideal month for baseball,
but that heretofore I. has been a
custom to break the season off either
at the start of September, or by the
middle of the month. Those favoring
an extension of the schedule’ will
argue for a program using up all of
the month of September. It sounds
like a good idea, too. It would give
the fans more games, the players a
longer working season, and [ believe
it would also throw a greater quantity
of sheckles into the strong boxes of
the respective clubs. |
- - - . o
SEVEN ROOKIE RULE A JOKE ‘
Now, the seven pookie rule was{
bad enough last season, but it would‘
prove a greater hindrance to base
ball the coming summer than it did
last year, for the>simple reason that
during the 1919 season each team was
forced to have seven class B men
who had been class B men in 1917.
In other words the season cut short
by the war did not count. Well!
the coming summer the moguls would
not be able to make such an ex
ception, and as a result we would find
seven bona fide class B men on each
club. |
Personally, however, I think the
magnates are all agreed on the rookic
question and I believe they will go tc
Memphis determined to iron out the
flaws 'in the rookie rule and reduce
the number of class B men to four
on each club. I have talked with a
number of directors in regard to this!

Given Letters
By WALTER N. SCHWAM.
EMORY UNIVERSITY, Dec, 4.—
The athletic committee at ¥mory has
awarded an “E” to twelve men select
ed from the team which composed
the varsity in lts last football game.
Emory with no intercollegiate foot
ball, has no regular varsity team. It
has been custom to select a mythi
cal team, composed of the best
players from the class teams, and
each of these men receives a let
ter. The selection is made after this
all star team plays the “Feds,” who
are composed of old “E” men as w .
as scrubs from clags teams.
The following men have been
awarded an “E” this year for ex
cellence in football: J. W. Rustin, Roy
Emmett, J. L. Partin and W. T.
Turner of the junior class; J. L. Pitt
man, I, Winkle, and W, 'P. Watkins
of the sophomore class, and C. Grif
fin, Dick Lester, Clarence Stokes,
Boykin Clegg, and Fleming Lester
of the freshman class. The commit
tee accorded honorable mention to
Colson, Enlow, Rochelle and Rich
ardson,
This event closes the football sea
gon at Emory. It was most suc
cessful, with three classes having
strong teams. The juniors easily out
stripped the others, having the great
est gaining power and the bhest de
fensive of any team. The freshman
teum showed unexpected strength, but
the inexperience 0f some of the men
counted heavily ‘against them. The
sophomore team did not come up to
expectations, as having a wonderful
backfield, more was expected from
them,
With football out of the way, bas
ketball and track are going to get
the attention from now on. Track
practise is being held éach afternobn,
and a large number of men have re
ported since football has ceased.

Dropping around Peacock while
they were holding their daily scrim
mage the writer was very much im
pressed over the prospects of their
quintet. They have been practising
for some time and now have fairly
good teamwork. . They still have a
few rough corners to smooth, but
these are gradually being worn off.
-+ Neither Fincher nor Boone were
coaching the boys, but still another
was in charge. Coach Mayo, one of
the .teamhiers at Peacock, was giving
the boye a few pointers and directing
!the serimmage. The varsity lined up
‘with Yeager and Beleyeau at guards,
Venable at center and Laird and
Sperks at forwards.
. This combination had little trouble
in seoring on the scrubs, and the
‘points were amassed easily and
\quickly by the varsity. This is not
the final pick, but in all probability
will be the line-up in the first game,
to be played along the first of Jan
uary. i ‘

FULTON BOYS PRACTISING. |
Fulton High also came into the
round of our visits and fifteen boys
under the direction of Guy Moore
were passing the ball and taking a
few shots at the basket. They were
able to ring a goal every now and
then and at passing, although the
new men were slightly awkard, they |
handled the ball pretty well for the
short time they have been practising.
There is but one face familiar to
Atlanta fans with the Fulton team.
Heard, a scrub of last year, but a
giant in statue, is the only man back.
Coach Moore has a hard task ahead,
and if he succeeds in putting a team
into the field this year equal to the
five entered by Coach Grauel last
season, he will have accomplished
more than any coach has done here
in many moons.

GIRLS MAVE LIGHT WORKOUT.
Over on the other side of the t‘ield‘
from where the Fulton boys were
[ractising the girls' team was also
getting a few Kkinks in and out of
their delicate systems. Only two
varsity players are back, and the
others are very small. Frances Phil
lips, the best guard the league has
produced, and Ruth Williams, one of
the league’s best centers, both all
prep selections of last year, are the
only veterans who have donned the
red and white spangles of Fulton.
Passing and shooting were all the
girls did. They seemed to be lacking
in wind power and were whwzimz‘
like soo many one lung engines before |
they had been working long. This
should not discourage the young la-
Gies any, as they are not expected to
bave great wind power with only

Tech High 'was the only other
school visited and the large squad
under th: direction of Coach Enlow‘
was working, as usual. The three
Smithie courts were fiiled with gladi
ators, and as no team has been se
lected yet from the multitudes out, it
was difficult tc get & line on the
players, 1
There are about thirty out daily
and the coaches are giving thesei
some hard scrimmages. Capt. Green |
Warren and ‘“Flexible” Williams are
the only men back from last year's
rquad. Around these two a team will
be built, unless, as we reported yes
terday, Mumford and Bennett return
to Tech High.
Should these lads return, t:(e‘
Smithie line-up will be bolstered
greatly and their chances for win
ning another pennant will be much
enhanced. Out of the large squad
present, “Pee Wee” Stewart, for
ward, and Mangum, guard, looked
best.

COBLENZ, Germany (by mail).—
Football among the American forces
in Germany went into its second
round of games this week and
brought into the limelight a number
of former West Point and college
p‘ayars.
The Thirteenth Provisional Guard
team again showed its claas by de
feating the Engineers, 7 to 0. The
feature was the playing of Lieutenant
Wicks, former West Pointer, his
speedy flights around the ends con
tributing much toward the downfall
of the Engineers. Lieutenant Hol
brook, also of West Point, stood out
in the line-up of the Cavalry team,
which defeated the Eighth Infantry,
6 to 0. Major Allen, another West
Pointer, playing at left half, made
the horsemen's vietory possible,
Lieutenant March, formerly of Lafay
ette College, Easton, Pa., and West
Point, was the star of the Artillery
team, which defeated the Q. M. C,,
30 to 0.
Ofticials for all the games were
Y. M. C. A. men well known in foct
ball circles at home. Earl Brannon,
Y. M. C. A. athletie director and for
mer University of Nebraska star, was
referee. Other officials were 1. W,
Reiss, Swarthmore; N. W. Hefelfin
ger, Ursinug; R, D. Baker, North

| Interest in the big cross-country
run that is going to be staged in
Birmingham for the' 8. I A. A.
championship is now at a high pitch.
The entries for the race closed Mon
day and ten colleges will have teams
entered. This is the ninth annual
road race that has been held under
the auspices of the Birmingham Ath
letic Club. +
Teams that have entered the race
and will send teams to Birmingham
Saturday are: Georgia Tech, Sewanee,
University of Alabama, Acipco Y. M.
C. A, a local team, the Y. M. G. C,,
of New Orleans, Mississippi A. & M.,
Birmingham Athletic Club and the
Anniston Preps.
A silver loving cup and a trophy
will be presented the team winning
the race by the Birmingham A. C. and
individual prizes of .gold, silver and
bronze medals to the first three te
cross the tape. Th€ race will cover
a course of three miles and is to be
{un through the streets of Birming
ham.
ACIPCO WON LAST YEAR.
Last year the Aecipco Y. M. C. A, of
Birmingham, took the first honors in
the race and ng doubt they will enter
a dandy team this year. Next in
line comes the Mississippi A. & M.,
who have taken the Southern ama
teur union cross-country and the
S. I. A. A. title for six miles.
Atlanta will be represented by
Georgia Tech and from the way the
boys have been doing in the practise
runs during the past few weeks, they
intend to get the big honors in the
run. Tech will enter such track men
as McClesky, Fouche, Daves, Nelms
and Harris. All of these men are
neat runners and they should give a
good account of themselves in the big
race.
ALABAMA TWICE WINNER.
The cup is to be presented to the
team that wins it three times and the
Alabama boys will have the first shot
in keeping the cup perma.nxntly. since
they won the race twice, in the years
of 1916 and 1917. The indications are
now that there is going to be some
lively competition and that the
course will be lined with spectators
Saturday the first inter-company
football games will be started at
Tech and from the way many of the
teams have been practising during
the past week or so there are going
to be some hard fought engagements.
The teams are for the most part be
ing coached by members of the var
sity or scrub teams and their work
along ecoaching lines is to be watched.
