BUSY AGAIN
DAVIDSON IS READY
TO TACKLE TECH
North Carolina Team Is Heavy, Strong ai
Confident—Tech in Better Con
dition Than Ever Before.
"They'ra off" at 3 o'clock today on Tech
field In a game which promlaea to In* na
warmly and aa cloaely contested a* any of
the season. The “they" hoforemontloned
refers to Tech and Davidson, which two
aggregations of gridiron heroes get to.
gather In a contest which. If not of real
championship class, at,least has a lot of
Itearlng on deciding which - team Is best In
yorth Carol tag gad Georgia.
The' Davidson team Is a good one. all
right. Coach tlelsman admits that with
great gusto, and he Is a judge of football
teams.
The Davidson squad Is made tip of sen-
soned material. Not a man In the regular
line-up Is a freshman. Every one played
last year either on the Davidson team or
as a substitute or scrub. In consequence
the players are able to work together bet-
tef than would a lot of new men thrown
together without any chance to get used to
each other's peculiarities.
Coach Graham,'who handles the tenm, Is
a product of the University of Virginia.
He played right end with the Virginia team
In IKK under flanford of Yale. Uat year
be was assistant coach of the football team
•t Virginia. The membera of last year's
regular team playing this year are I<euts,
Whitaker, Seymour, Sadler, and McKay.
Denny and Elliott were subs. The rest
were, tenths.
9he Davidson team has played three
games up to date. The opener was with
Oak Ridge, which Davidson won—11 to 0.
The other games were 0 to 0 with North
Carolina and 15 to 0 victory over Georgia.
While there is no undne confidence
the part of Davidson that tbelr team will
lw»at Tech, yet It Is a certainty that the
North Carolltfa players expect to find the
local bunch a comparatively easy proposi
tion. That aurprlses may eventuate seems
likely.
Tech ‘ Is reasonably confident, too. Not
of winning, perhaps, but anyway, of hold
inf DuvJdson safe and possibly of defeat
ing the representatives of the Old Domin
ion.
The game ought to attract a great crowd.
The Ideal weather and the fact that there
are no counter-attractions, na there were
last Saturday, should guarantee n * good
turn-out. Davidson has no particular fol
lowing In Atlanta, hut local crowda nre be
ginning to turn out for footholl os they do
for baseball—Jnst to aee good games played.
Tech carpentry forces have been busily
working for the Inst week on Increased
seating capacity at the park nnd before
long Tech park will be able to accommodate
aa mnuy patrona aa any In the middle
Month.

Many Big Stables Will Race
This Winter in California
By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.
New York, Oct. 27.—President Thomas
II. Wllllsms, of the New California Jockey'
Club, who returned to Man Francisco,
Cal., from Belmont park late laat week,
departed bearing an nsaunAire of the visit
of several of the most powerful ntablea
now In the East to the California metrop
olis this coming winter. There will l*e one
hundred and fifty atrnlght days of racing at
Onklaud, Cal., Just across from Frisco. The
long meeting opens on November 17. Per-
hnps the most effective bit of .missionary
work accomplished by Mr. Williams nod
his hustling lieutenant, J. II. Scanlon, was
the luring away from New Orleans, La.,
to the Golden West of “Ham" Hildreth.
For many a winter, Hildreth and bis
horses have l»een the very life of the old
Fair GroundM. He will race nt the Emery
ville race course this winter. Already he
has shipped thirty-one head and a hand' of
promising yearlings. Before going hotpc,
Mr. Williams definitely secured Jockey
Walter Miller. The riding aeusatlon of
the New York season will work In Callfor
nlo, at will Hlldebruud, Knapp, Jones ntid
Horner. Among the owners who will ship
their stables during <be next few days nre
Walter Jannlngs. "Sandy” McNnaghton, J.
T. Muir, J. J. O'Flaherty, Jules Carson,
"Barney" Schrleber, L. J. Holland nnd T.
M. Cassidy. ''Sandy" McNnughton brings
west one of the greatest colta ever aent
over the Rockies'. This Is the Voter colt
Vox Popull. This youngster wa» sold by
James It. Keene for $4,003. It Is a ques
tion whether $25,000 would get the horse
from the Scotchman now. Unless he la
outwelghtcd by the handlcnper. this horae
will be n bigger hit than was Dr, Gardner
or Dr. !<eggo last winter.

Hitting in the Clinches
Suits Coffroth All Right
Much dlscussfin has been engaged In of
late among the pugilistic fans over the
question of whether hitting In the clinches
should be allowed. It seems the opinion
of the real fighters that hitting when either
man has on nrm free will always guaran
tee a real fight and not/a hugging match.
The opinion of Jimmy Coffroth, the great
fight promoter, on the question Is of In
terest. When* the Main Bergcr-Fhlladelpbla
Jack O'Brien fight fell through because
O’Brien Insisted on no hitting In the
clinches, nnd clean breaks, Coffroth said:
"Gentlemen. I do not wish to handle
the match under those conditions. My ex
perience has taught me that the public
desires ns much fighting as Is possible to
be crowded luto the three minutes of each
round. With the conditions suggested by
O'Brien, this match will develop Into u
question of who shall referee. Berger will
want his construction of the rules to pre
vail and O'Brien will be' nnturnly solid-
toas that 4he referee 1* the one who will
at all times see his end of the contention.
We do not want this kind of a fight.
Give us a match that the public likes—
the kind of fighting they like—to-wlt:
fighting nt all times when either arm la
free. Let's drop the match If you can not
agree to thnt. Unless you do, the contest
Is off as far as I am concerned."
JOE BEENE SAW AUBURN PLAY
Walking up and down the aldellnea at Birmingham and watching
with the deepest Interest the doings of the Sewanee and Auburn teams
In the game Friday afternoon was a short, stoutly built young gentle
man named Beene, Joseph Beene, In fact.
Mr. Beene went to Birmingham as' Tech's representative and he
went to get a line on the Auburn team which plays In Atlanta against
Tech next Saturday afternoon.
On this strength of the Information secured by the assistant coach of
the Tech aggregation. Coach Helsman will base his plans for offense
and defense In the game next Saturday, which, 'by the way, promises to
be one of the most luscious of the large crop of peach games played fn
the South this season.
McAlser lost Wallace! That Is what
Jones !o,t In Callahan. The club was
without an outfield and possessed a
very weak hitting third basoman. So-
called. experts who rate men as ma
chines figured that It would, not be bet
ter than fifth or sixth In the American
League. Despite a bad start and In
juries to Davis. Tnnnehlll, Isbell and
Sullivan, It won In one ot the moat dee-
pernio races ever known in baseball.
SAD SURPRISE

Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 27.—Auburn 5, Me-

yesterday afternoon, ami It practically
•mounted to a defeat for the Tennessee
ans. After.their great showing against {
Tech and Southwestern l'l-cebyterlnn uni- •
verefty. the Tigers expected to find some
thing especially lamblike In the Auburn
hunch, but Instead they found a team
which held them tv a tin until almost
tkn cad. and which bad to ruu In fresh
men to win out.
Bewsnee'a defense wae weak, and the men

Right on-top of the finish In that race
It got out and won the champlonahlp

Having an easy race in Its own league

Now, what excuse can the great

urge for Its miserable showing? It
possesses the three best Inflelders In
the world—Lnjofe, Bradley and Turner
—t.wo. good first basemen, two good

When L made by now celebrated

When I sAw them play I said to Mr.
Flanner; "It must be a bad league In
which such men as these cun win a
championship and a worse one from
which they can win a world’s cham

Genius Is all right In Its way. It will
still lead, but It must be backed by

work. The day of the old "natural"

ONCE "KING OF THE PLUNGERS”
RILEY G8AXNEN
NOW ONLY A DECREPIT PIKER
By J. $. A. MACDONALD.
Ne* York, Oct. 27.—There la the pathetic aide In the wonderful Jum
ble of men and emotion of 'the present-day betting ring.
About twelve years ago Riley Grannen was hailed ns the "King "f
Plungers.” He bet $10,000 on the raise of a finger and frequently won * r
lost $30,000 In an afternoon.
Faultless In attire, Belvidere In form, this surely was the Ideal ot
the race track gambler.
One day this week nt Jamaica, Grannen was found quarreling on the
"back line over a $10 bet on n 4 to 6 shot. ,
Infirm of health, and bent In spirit, this one-time princely fellow >1
the race tracks is but a suggestion of his former heroic self.
x e*. this Is one of the hard Incidents In a day of racing—the spo^j*'
cle of this man who stood to win or lose $65,000 on the outcome **f
Henry of Navarre-Domino match of a few years ago, gingerly skinning
the lowly back line for tops. A sermon on the way of the gambler.
