o DOLLAR BILL SEZ:
8 Th' world is too little for
YAI folks with th’ swelled head.
'b Sometimes it looks like th’
4= milk of human kindness has
N all clabbered,
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. ‘
: The athletic association of both‘
schools feel their teams have the best
P claim to the State title, and conse
quently think that the winner of
Saturday’s game should be awarded
the State championship. |
Although #t can not be called a‘
championship contest, the winner
will have more scalps on his beltl
than any other schoool in the State,
and should they elect to play G. M.
C. the title will be settled on the
gridiron. |
NOISE A-PLENTY.
The game will be plyaed at Grant
F'ield and the admission to this, the
last game this year, will be sl. The
student bodies of both schools, I un-
Cerstand, will attend the game, and
there should be sonie lively cheering.
Much pas 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 zame.
Later Riverside defeated Boys' High
in Gainesville, 21-0, while Tech High
turned the trick in Atlanta last Sat
urday, 8-0. This would give River:
side the edge in the dope. The tle
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
gcore 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
ttan anything else. But Tech High
4 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
of the condition of the field may
come into use in this gsame,
Riverside is also a tricky and well
coached 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.

GEORGIAN SPORT PAGE
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 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 followess who have
gized up both men age 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 & 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,
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 p.ospect is far too
close a fight to warrant a predictinn,
- 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 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 igs 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 does not know enough about
the science of boxing to keep away
from the Ameriean’s glever blows.
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
premared to bid pretty high in order
tri) stage the prospective bout in this
city.

nMajors
By JACK VEIOCK.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4—The factional
fight in the American League is fast
approaching a show-down.
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
;lnsurgents" 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. 3
have no definite idea how it will end.
1 can say, however, that unless a
satisfactory settlement is reached
there will be a battle that will make
the Federal League war lpok like a
skirmish.”
Asked regarding reports that the
faction to which he belongs had been
approached by peace-makers the
colonel remearked:
“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
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 five clubs
now lined up with big Ban will con
¢ede some points the disgruntled
factionaries will call off their war. At
the outset, thoy were out to ‘get
Johnson's scalp.”

Ky VANMNCE
When Boss John Dee Martin, high razzum-gazzum of the Southern
League, and league directors from the eight cities in the circuit meet
in Memphis this month and begin blowing smoke clouds ceilingward and
pouring lubricants floorward, there promises to be some lively stuff geing
on,
There's ah 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,
gt
LONGER SCHEDULE SOUGHT.
There are a few directors, but 1
don’'t know whether they are in the
majority or minority, who want toJ
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 alwaye an ideal month for basehall,
but 'that heretofore 1L has ! 1
custom to break the season ofi ¢
at the start of September, or by n:of
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 I believe
it would also throw a greater quantity
of sheckles into the strong boxes of
the respective clubs.
. . .
SEVEN ROOKIE RULE A JOKE
Now, the seven rookle Trule was
bad enough last season, but it would
preve 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 coumt. Well,
the coming summer the moguls would
not be able to make such an ex
ception, and as a result we would find
lovgn bona fide class B men on each
club.
Personally, however, I think the
magnates are all agreed on the rookie
question and I believe they will go to
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
matter and they all seem to favor
such a proposition,

It is very unlikely that Georgla
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 Warner, the coach, and
Graduate Manager K. E. Davis of the
Smoketown institution of learning are
sceking opponents that will give the
Panthers a stronger battle than either
Tech or Lohigh is able to furnish.
Pittsburg, so the report <oes, is
anxious to make a big play next year,
taking on the leading colleges of the
East, as the I'anthers are returning
practically their ertire line-up of reg
ulars, and should go through the 1920
seas'n with a great record, evea with
such teams ar Washington a: d Jef
fersin Yenn Siate, West Vi'ginia and
their like on the schedule,
LOSE THREE STARS.
Undouhtedly Cecach Warner will
have muchi bester and more material
next year wita which to bui't up his
team tkan he had during uie season
Jus~ closed. He joses thre2 excellent
players in Ardy Hastings, lin.my de
Hart and Jim Morrow. Frank Eckert
and R, G. B. Peters also played their
finul games this year.
The men returning to the Panther
fcld in 1920 are Tom Davies, Herb
McCracken, Stein, Markowitz, Ham
burger, MeCrory, Daugherty, Hersko
witz, Hilemar, Breman., Hornor,
Brown, Ginn, Meanor, Ewing, Thom
as, Laughran, Kratzert, Krotzer, and
there will be in addition, Tom Hol
leran, Handrian, Hewitt, Anderson,
Byers, C'lawson, Hartnett, Clark, Ma
garrall, Bowser, Sacklowsky, Willlams
and Snyder, freshmen this year, who
will be eligible next fall. Besides
these, there is a Jarge 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 hénor.
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 Bast,
TECH NOT WORRYING.
Georgia Tech should worry if Pitts
burg is figuring on making up a
schedule that will be minus the
Golden Tornado. Letters are coming
in daily at the Atlanta institution
from the big colleges of the East,
requesting games with the Yellow
Jackets next season.
The Tech 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 con
tract with the Helsman team. which
may be 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 Pittshurg
won't do Tech much harm.

Given Letters
By WALTER N, SCHWAM.
EMORY UNIVERSITY, RQpe. 4—
The athletic committee at. Kmory has
awarded an "E” to twelve men select
ed from the team which composed
the varsity in its 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
sach of these men receives a let
ter., The selection i 8 made after this
all star team plays the “Feds” who
are composed of old “E” men as w .
as scrubs from ciass 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 ILester
of the freshman class, The commit~
tes 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 juniors 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 against them. The
gophomore 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 each afternoen,
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 wogn 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 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 takiag 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
ghort 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 iteam
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 HAVE LIGHT WORKOUT.
Over on the other side of the field
from where the Fulton boys were
practising the girls' team .was also
getting a few Lirks in and out of
their delicate systems, Only two
varsity playes 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 hest 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 wheezing
like 80 many one lung en{inu before
‘they had been working long. This
should not discourage the young la-
Gies any, as they are not expected to
‘have great wind power with only
‘several days’ practise.
Ruth Willlams 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 gettlnf( up the
old lung power that will keep her
fresh when the battles rage hardest.
*s @ =
Tech High was the only other
school vistted and the large squad
under tha direction of Coach Enlow
was working, as usual. The three
Smithie courts were filled with gladi
ators, and as no team has been se
lected yet from *he multitudes out, it
was difficult to get a line on the
players,
There are about thirty out daily
and the coaches are giving these
some hard scrimmages. Capt. Green
Warren and “Flexible” Willlams 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, the
Smithie line-up will be bo/stered
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, qmrd. looked
best.

COBLENZ, Germany (by mail).—
Footbhall among the American forces
in Germany went into Ms second
round of games this week and
brought into the limelight a number
of former West Point and college
players.
The Thirteenth Provisional Guard
team again showed its class 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 victory possible.
Lieutenant 'arch, 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. athletic director and for
mer University of Nebraska star, was
referes. Other officlals were L. W,
Reiss, Swarthmore; N. W, Hefelfin
ger, Ursinus; R, D. Baker, North
western, and C. H. Tooze, Navy.
