" DOLLAR BILL SEZ:
e Th' world is too little for
Rl folss with th’ swelled head.
'b Sometimes it looks like th’
- milk of human kindness has
- all clabbered.
Complete and final arranzements
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 whied T™eeh High
and Riverside will settle their 0-0 tie
game of some weeks back.
The athletic association of both
sghools feel their teams have the best
iaim 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
championship contest, the winner
will have more scalps on his belt
than any other schoool in the State,
and should they elect to play G. M,
\.*; the title will be settled on the
gridiron.
NOISE A-PLENTY.
The game will be plyaed at Grant
Kield and the admission to this, the
Jast 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 to the relative strength of the two
teams., They have met each other
once and the result was a tie :ame.
Tater Riverside defeated Boys’ High
in Gainesville, 21-0, while Tech High
turned the trick in Atlanta last Sat
ur&ay, 3-0. This would give River:
6l the edge in the dope. The tie
game was played in a sea of mud and
water, as were the other two.
I am of the opinion that both elev
ens will resort to the kicking game
instead 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
n‘fi: will use is more speculation
tL anyvthing else. But Tech High
realizes that Riverside has watched
its mystem of play in at least four
games. Some trick plays they were
unable to use last Saturday because
of the condition of the field may
come into use in this game,
Riverside is also a tricky and well
coached set of gridders, and what
+hey will uncork remains to be seen.
T,ver_v gama sees them with some
view plays, and this should be a battle
of tricks as well as brain.

Maybe Fred Merkle Was Under the Impression That Second Base Was a Live Wire
GEORGIAN SPORT PAGE
LONDON, Deec. 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 KEnglish champion.
Therg were some quotations that
showed him almost 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 suceumb 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 ito be
out to make a bitter fight and if
he rushes the attack as is planned,
Carpentier must expect to take a bad
Leating, if indeed he is able to last
to the end,
LONDON 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 ppims.
WINNER TO MEET DEMPSEY.
Promoter Cochran has made 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 .3 $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 does not know enough about
the science of boxing to keep away
from the American's clever blows. l
Each of tonight's contestants is
anxious to go to America—if there
is enough money in it. But Cochran |
believes it would be 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.

' By JACK VEIOCK.
| NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—The factional
fight in the American League is fast
approaching a show-dowm.
Well posted baseball men here to
day expressed the beliet 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
(‘i‘lnuurgenta" will be heard here to
ay.
If rumors to the effect that the op
posing factions are tiring of internal
strife are true, all will be well. Other
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,
I can say, however, that unless, a
satisfactory settlement is reached
there will be a battle that will make
the Federal League war look like a
skirmish.” :
Asked regarding reports that the
factlon to which ko belongs had been
approached by pemes-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 belleve 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
gituation in the league.
Though they are unwilling to openly
admit anything, the writer learns
from an unquestionable source that
the “insurgent directors” probably
will be perfectly satisfied if the so
called “arbitrary powers” of Presi
dent Johnson are curtailed.
In the event that the flve cluba
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 ‘get
Johnson's scalp.”

When Boss John Dee Martin, high razzum-gazzum of the Southern
Lealaue. 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 aiready forming and the conspirators
'nre 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 introdliced calling for a more generous player limit,
a bulkier salary limit and a partial abandonment of the seven-reookie 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 audibla,
‘that the 140-game idea is to be pigeon heled, and that at least 150 games
will be placed on the schedule next year,
: g % 8
~ LONGER SCHEDULE SQUGHT.,
. There are a few directors, but 1
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 Iv has been a
custom to break the season off ei.ner
at the start of September, or by the
middle of the month. Those fnvorini
an extension of the schedule wil
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 I believe
it wouk’(dso throw a greater quantity
of sheckles into the strong boxes of
the respective club:s.
. .
SEVEN ROOKIE RULE A JOKE
Now, the seven rookie rule was
bad enough last geason, 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 1918 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
uv:n bona fide class B men on each
club,
Personally, however, T think the
magnates are all agreed on the rookle
question and I believe they will go to
Memphis determined to iron out the
flaws in the rookle 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
matter and they all seein to favor
such & proposition,

BECKETT MEETS CARPENTIER.
Pight fans will know after tonight
whether Europe has a boxing foe,
who is worthy of Jack Dempsey's
steel. Georges Carpentier and Joc
Beckett are to mix matters in a Lon-
Aon ring. If Joseph gets away with
a wallop and rocks Carpentier to
‘sleep, there will be a question of
doubt in the minds of some fans as
to whether Dempsey could trim the
Britisher or not. If C&mnyor comes
out of the melee v})ctorio sit will
‘probably mean that Dempsey will re
main idle for some time to come yet,

By GUY BUTLER.
It is very unlikely that Georgia
Tech will be on the University of
Pittsburg football schedule next fall.
That is the information received
from Pittsburg today, which states
that Lehigh, too, will be dropped. The
reason for this change, it is said, is
because Glenn Waraer, the coach, and
Graduate Manager K, E. Davis of the
Smoketown institution of learning are
seeking opponents that will give the
Panthers a stronger battle than either
Tech or Lohigh is #ble to furnish.
Pittsburg, so the report <goes, is
anxious to make a big play next year,
taking on the leading colleges of the
East, as the Innmers are returning
practically their cltire line\-up of reg
ulars, and should go through the 1920
seascn with a_gieat record, eveax with
such teams a> Washington a:n Jef
fers>n Yenn State, West Viginia and
their like on the¢ schedule.
LOSE THREE STARS.
Undouhtedly Ceach Warm*r will
have mueh better and more material
next ycar wita which to bnil+ ap his
team tkan he had during Jhc season
jus. clozed. He loses thres excellent
players in Ardy Hastings, Jimmy de
Hart and Jim Morrow. Frank Eckert
and R. G. B, Peters also played their
fina]l games this year.
The men returning to the Pantheér
feld in 1920 are Tom Davies, Herb
McCracken, Stein, Markowitz, Ham
burger, McCrory, Daugherty, Hersko®
witz, Hileman, Breman. Hornor,
Brown, Ginn, Meanor, Ewing, Thom
as, Laughran, Kratzert, Krotzer, and
there will be in addition, Tom Hol
leran, Handrian, Hewitt, Anderson,
Byers, Clawson, Hartnett, Clark, Ma
garrall, Bowser, Sacklowsky, Wiliams
and Snyder, freshmen this year, who
will be eligible next fall. Besides
v.hgse, there is a large number of
other good players who will be candi
dates for positisg's on the Panther
varsity. .
The annual Pittsburg banquet is to
be held Friday night, at which time
a captain will be elected for next sea
son. Tom Davies or Stein is the
likely choice for the honor.
The Pitt schedule. it is expected,
will embrace games with Syracuse,
West Virginia, ‘Washington and Jef
ferson, Carnegie Tech, Penn State,
University of Pennsylvania and a
couple more against the best teams of
the East.
TECH NOT WORRYING.
Georgia Tech should worry if Pitts
burg is figuring on making up a
sehedyle that will be minus the
Golden'Tornado. Letters are coming
in daily at the Atlanta institution
from the big colleges of the last,
requesting games with the Yellow
Jatkets next season.
The Teeh schedule will compare
favorably with that to be made up by
Pittsburg. Pennsylvania is angling
for a contest with Tech; Colgate or
Syracuse will be booked probably in
New York; the Washington and Lee
game is almost a certainty; Auburn
will be met on Thanksgiving again;
Georgetown wants a three-year non
tract with the Heisman team. which
may bhe taken, and Vandy will appear
again. That makes six games, and
either Clemson or Davidson or both
may be played. That schedule is
tough enough for any college, and is
just about as grueling as Pitt's,
Anyway, the absence of Pittsburg
won't do Tech much harm,

Given Letters
By WALTER N, SCHWAM.
EMORY UNIVERSITY, Dec. 4—
The athletic commitiee at Emory has
awarded an “E” to twelve men select~
ed from the team which composed
the varsity in its iast football game.
BEmory 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 {8 made after this
all star team plays the “Fods,” who
are composed of old “E"” men as w .
as scrubs from class teams.
The following men have been
awarded an “E” this year for ex
cellence in football: J. W, Rustin, Ro;
Emmett, J. L. Partin and W, g?'
Turner of the junior class; J. L. Pift.
man, L 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
son at Emory. It was most suc
cessful, with three classes having
strong teams, The junlors easily out
stripped the others, having the great
est gaining power and the best de
fensive of any team. The freshman
team showed unexpected strength, but
the inexperience of some of the men
counted heavily ageinst them, The
sophomore team did not come yp to
expectations, a® 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 each afternoon,
and a large number of men have re
ported since football has ceased.

By CHARLES SHONESY.
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 teashers at Peacock, was giving
‘the boys 2 a few pointers and directing
the scrimmage. The varsity lined up
with Yeager and Beleyeau at guards,
Venable at center and Laird and
Sparks at forwards,
This combination had little trouble
in scoring 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.
. * ~
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 sugceeds in putting a team
into the fjeld this year equal to the
five entered by Coach Grauel last
season, he will have n.ocompll,‘hed
more than any coach has done here
in many mooas. G iug
.
GIRLS HAVE LIGHT WORKOUT.
Over on the other side of the field
from where the Fultén Boys were
jractising the girls’ team was also
getting a few kinks in and out of
their delicate systems. Only two
varsity players are back, and the
others are very small. Frances Phil
lips, the best ard the league has
‘produced, and s:nh Willlams, one of
the league's best centars, both all
prep selections of last year, are the
only veterans who have donned the
red and white sunfhs of Fulton.
Passing and shooting were all the
girls did. They seemed to be lacking
in wind power and were wheezing
like 80 many one lunf engines before
they had been working long. This
should not discourage the young la
dies any, as they are not expected to
have great wind power with only
several days' practise.
Ruth Williams located the basket
with regularity, and Frances Phillips
also put a few through. Miss Phil
lips spent most of her time passing
and running around gmlni up the
old lung power that will keep her
fresh when the battles rage hardest.

Tech High was the only other
school visited and the large squad
under tha direction of Coach Enlow
was working, as usual. The three
Smithie courts were filled with gladi

was difficult to get a line on the
players,
There are about thirty out daily
and the coaches are giving these
some hard acrlmm-fiu. Capt. Green
‘Warren and ‘Flexible” Willilams 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 returnm
to Tech High
Should these lads return, the
Smithie line-up will be bolstered
greatly and their chances for win

COBLENZ, Germany (by malil).~~
Football among the Atger@calx 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
players.
The Thirteenth Provisicnal Guard
team again showed its class by de
teating the Engineers, 7 to 0. The
feature was the playing of Lisutenant
Wicks, former West Pointer, his
speedy flights around the ends con.
tributing much toward the downfall
of the Engineers. Lieutenant Hol.
brook, algo of West Peint, stood out
in the line-up of the Cavalry team,
which defeated the Eighth Infantry,
8 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.
Officials for all the games were
Y. M. C. A, men well known in foot
ball circles at home. KEarl Brannon,
Y. M. C. A, athletio director and for
mer University of Nebraska star, was
referee, Other officials were L. W.
Relss, Swarthmore; N. W, Hefelfin

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 undey
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. My
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. trophw
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 to
cross the tape. The race will cover
a course of three miles and is'te be
run through the streets of Birming
ham.
ACIPCO WON LAST YEAR.
Last year the Acipco' Y. M. C, A, of
Birmingham, took the first honors in
the race and no doubt they will entex
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
8. 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 %lvo 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 permanently, since
they weon tne race twice, in the years
of 1916 and 1917. The indications are
now that there is going to be someé
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 coaching lines is to be Watched.
