An Eastern press association has sent around the country n
statement that tho Southern colleges hnve “just” adopted a “one-
year residence rule.” As a matter of fact that rulo has been in
effect in tho S. I. A. A. for several years.
Tho great white light has at last broken and the major
leagues nro going to have shorter schedules.
This is one of the first signs of intelligence which some of the
major moguls havo displayed in several years.
The baseball war In Texas is reported to bo over. This leaves
all the world in pcaco except for a small chunk of Pennsylvania,
where they havo their own notions of baseball independence.
Speaking of that, the annual story that tho Tri-State out
laws were due to go into the fold of organized baseball has been
sprung, by the said organized baseball. And as usual the out
laws haven’t heard of it and don’t care to.
VANDERBILT SCORED ON
BY PLUCKY TECH TEAMI
“Rube” Waddell has blossomed forth somewhere in Penn

The wisdom of being on hand when things are happening
was well exemplified Saturday afternoon by a young gentleman

tackled from three sides and grcviously mauled, but it did not
matter to him.
For he had accomplished a feat which several hundred other
young men had tried to do in the last three years.

Surprise Follows Surprise
Saturday', football game, were pro
active of many aurprlaea and proved
disappointment to We.tem foot-
I>.dl follower,.
The defeat of Michigan by Pennsyl
vania and of Minnesota by the Indiana,
tmtli by score, of 17 to 0, brought sor
row 'to the hearts of Westerners, who
have long thought that the football
played on the western side of the Al-
leghanles was a better brand of goods
than that played on the eastern slope.
It seems that this dope le wrong, at
legist from what can be judged by
iliosa two games.
Of course Michigan has not tho team
she had last year—In fart, haa not even
the team she had when she played
Vanderbilt The Michigan team with
out Curtis Is a trifle like “whisky
straight" without the whisky. How
ever, Pennsylvania Is far from as good
n team as Tate, Harvard and Prince
ton, and Michigan followers hoped for
victory.
That the Indians could make the
Minnesota burrh eat dirt was another
aad surprise to Westerners.
A nothlng-to-nothlng result In the
Ynle-I’rinceton battle was somewhat
unexpected, but owing to the rapid
Improvement of Yale during the latter
part of last week there Is no especial
reason why such n score should not
have been made.

In the South things did not turn nut
Just ns Indicated In the advance no
tices. The scoring of T .'ch was not
altogether an unexpected happening,
and neither was the defeat of Auburn
by Alabama. It seemed certain that
iut there was an
other line bunch of dope which went
wrong.
Georgia's 51 to S victory over Dah-
lonega was also rather more over
whelming than had been looked for.
Since Tech heat Georgia. 17 to 0, and
Dahlonega only 1 In 0 It did not seem
reasonable to suppose that the Athens
players would eat the Mountaineers
whole. However, they did, and the un
reliability of football dope was aguln
demonstrated.

THE STANDARD OF PURITY.
J. W. HEI8MAN.
Much of the good Hhowing of the
Tech team tht* seiuson ban been due
i.» the efflctt'iit coaching of Mr.
Mel* man. The above *napshot
*hows him In a charactcrhftic at
titude on tho Acid.
But that one touchdown brought Bor
row to Vanderbilt and Joy to Tech and
the local tfcam Is more proud of It
than of heating Georgia.
It was all very simple. In the early
port of the second half Tech wot forced
to kick from tho 45-yard line. Brown
got away a good one and It sailed,
down past thf ten-yard line. Captain
Dan Blake was there to receive It, but
failed In his attempt The ball skidded
by hhn and across Vanderbilt's goal
line.
Apparently from nowhere at all came
a muddy streak, there was a yell, a
splash and Robert had landed on .the
ball. In the shortest fraction of a min
ute three Vanderbilt men had landed
on the Tech quarter and he was half
burled In the sticky mud. But he
held the ball and Vanderbilt was scored
against.
There were groans from the Van
derbilt contingent am! the Tech fol
lowers split the atmosphere with a dis
play of vocal enthusiasm which has not
been equalled this year.
of course It was a lucky fluke. Hut
this did not change the fact that it
was a toijchdowii. And all credit to
Robert. He had Jhe agility to elude
the Vanderbilt men, the speed to get
down the muddy field under the long
punt and the quickness to fall on the
hall before the Vanderbilt men could
get It.
Played in ths Mud.
Whether or not such an accident
would have happened on a dry day is
not up for decision. The day was any
thing hut dry.
It had rained fitfully Saturday morn-
Ipg, Just as a bluff. When the ,teams
come on the gridiron In the afternoon,
however. It began In earnest and for
sincere effort that shower would have
been hard to beat.
Th* previous attempts of J. Pluvlus
along the same line had mmked the
ground and ft did not take long for
the field to pass progressively through
ttiud, hog, swamp and lake stages and

Despite Some Heavy Going
Georgia Ran Up Laitge Score
Special to The Georgian.
University of Georgia, Athens, Go.,
Nov. 19.—On an extremely muddy fleld
and In a dreary drixxle, the Georgia
teajn snowed the mountain lada from
Oahli
lonega under Baturday afternoon
by a score of 53 to 2.
The game was remarkable for tho
clean way In which Georgia handled
nil punts and forward, passes. The
work of Hodgson was great In this de
partment. Dahlonega spent the entire
Aral half In a vain endeavor to keep
Georgia from their goal by kicking.
Not once did they try to advance the
pigskin by any hther method. They
made one flrst down In the second
half. The Dahlonega team seemed
slightly out of condition and became
winded at the terrific pace set by Geor
gia.
It would be a hard proposition to say
whlch'players starred for Georgia. The
whole team starred and starred collec
tively.
