TECH'S NEXT ADVERSARY HAS ALL STAR CAST Football fau* of Atlanta nr/* awaiting ra§*r1jr tho debut of the one all-star foot 1*1! r**t which will rlalt Atlanta this waaon—Vanderbilt team. TM* team meets Tech on Tech field -afunlny In a game of the greatest ini- i 'rtfluco to the Southern football world. TUI* Vanderbilt team Is the one which lias rolled up 180 point# on* their Honth- <m adversaries In four games, .whldi beat die husky Rose Folyteobulc team S3 to 0, nnd which ‘‘morally defeated" the famous Michigan machine, though the game went to the Northerners by a score of 10 to 4. This Is the team likewise which will nezt week measure strength with the Car* Ihle Indians, one of the rery . strongest mams in the Kast this year. 11 will be .worth the price of admis sion just to see the hunch. It Isn't every •lay that ft (a possible to see in action a football team like Vanderbilt has. Kut don't let any one get away with the Idea that Vanderbilt Is going to smear it nil over the Tecb tpam and run up tiny large aud Juicy score. Vanderbilt Is going to win. The football fans may an well harden themselves to that fact right now. lint It seems almost (crtsln that tlic local players will hold the Vanderbilt men down to as close n score as any {earn In the Sonth—closer, no doubt, than ereti the Roae Polytechnic did ft's going ta be n great game all right: imh< of the best of the year. There l» only one regrettable feature alKHit the gaaie, and that la that. Van derbilt ah hndl? ontwelgbs Tech, When ii good light team goes against a bum heavy team, the light team, hat the bet ter chance, but when the heavy team la h wonderful football team, likewise, then It Is tough ou the "llltle 'pns;" *o (bore- jmi arc.' Both teams know football front the front end of the rale book to tin \mil Him unit thou nror (lit* i/nnl Hint the latter wilt try to make up what ever difference there may be lu weight by trick plays and speed. Ilelsmau's tuon will find, however, that Vanderbilt is right there "with the pep- per" when It cAmea to nabblug trick plays. The Commodores bare been care fully drilled In handling short kicks nnd forward passes, and In every game they have played they have got the ball from the opposing team most every time any thing faucy was attempted. As scramblers, the. Commodores haro proved themselves wonders. Tech will find the Vanderbilt men faat os well* for It has been with comtflued speed aud strength that Vanderbilt has defeated so many opponents. The Commodores will also In* found to in* bard nnd sure tack- (era. The men go low aud hard after their msn,\ and It has been next to the Impos sible to get by them.

PENNSY FEARS YOST’S TEAM QUAKERS TAKE TO THE WOODS TO REST UP FOR SATUR DAY’S BATTLE. Philadelphia. Nov. IB.—The Univer sity of petin.ylvonin football squad of about twenty-live left this city yeater- (lay for Winslow Junction, N. J., to put on the finishing touches for tho irame with Michigan on Baturday. Every man on the squad was In the pink of condition when the men left the city and the coaches are confident that the players will make great progress under the bracing New Jersey atr. Here the men will not bo permitted to line up for any scrimmages, but will devote tliclr whole time to living out of doors and running through signals. They are by no means confident of defeating the Michigan club, but will enter the game with tho same spirit which enabled them to overcome Harvard two years ago. FRANK'S HATCHET OUT NOW FOR MANAGER BILLY SMITH Special to The Georgian. Memphis, Tenu., Nor. 15.—After the an imal meeting of the Southern League di rectors In Birmingham In December, Billy Smith will probably have to find a new method to get around the salary limit, ac- cord Jug to the dope sprung today by Tom McCullough, secretary and treasurer of the Memphis baseball club. Tom mya the teams which will line up with Charley Frank are going to vote to amend the constitution so that no player can Ih» sus pended In order to avoid tbo "fourteen men and 82.700, monthly salary'.* rule. McCullough thinks It altogether probable that the Atlantti team will make u fight for a higher limit, but at this writing every Indication Is that the majority will vote to keep the present limit. Here Is nbout the way the teams will line-up: For Frank: New Orleans, Memphis, Hhrereport, Montgomery, Nashville nnd 'Little Bock. Agilust Frank: Atlanta. On the fence: Birmingham. In the "on the fence" class might pov slbly tbo added the name of Montgomery, but thla Is hardly probable, lu view of the stand the directors there took iu the fracas last summer, when It seemed for a time that there would bo decided oppo sition to the re-tioctlou of President Kin- aimugh. At that time, the Montgomery offi cials came out strong for the Judge. Jack Powell and "Red" Donohue were taken out of the box Just once Inst sen- son. Jack Cbesliro established a record In the other direction, being sent to the bem U sixteen times. The Now York Giants are having n hard tune to find a Southern city for spring training.

Baseball contributed to the deaths of perhaps a ddsen more, who died from heart disease, fell oil roofs, were run over by cars while hastening to u Hume or were Idllcd In fight* grow ing out of games. Three players were killed In Phila delphia, says a paper of that city, and three more In other parts-of the state. Three were killed In New Jersey.

Almost the chubby little second base- man lived up to his own startling phil osophy. One day when the Cleveland players were sitting out In front of the Gault house, In Louisville, a man came along scattering circulars advertising a cure Tor Insomnia. ■> "What's Insomnia?”.asked the kid.

"Why?" asked Umpire Lynch In sur prise, for the aun waa still two hours high. . “Because It’s bed time and I’m sleepy," replied Childs In all serious ness. The game wasn't called. Childs made a home run hit off Jack Btlvetta In Boston one day and re ceived a great greeting from Ida com rades' on the bench when he came bark.
