Furnish Strong Opposition
BY AUBURN OWENS.
ATHENS, Ga.—The Tennessee
Vols, rated by many as one of the
strongest elevens in the Southern
< onference, are slated to make their
appearance on historic Sanford
Head Saturday afternoon. The
occasion being the annual celebra
tion of Home Coming Day.
The day when hundreds of the
old boys revisit the scene of their
college days to observe the changes
(hat have been wrought since their
withdrawal into the work-a-day
world of business.
The Bulldogs now occupying the
spot light on the stage of southeern
football by their many brilliant ex
hibitions this fall, are gnashing at
the leash, mouth-watering to add
another victim to their mounting
list. Coach ‘'Kid' 1 Woodruff, Hier
ophant of the Tabasco, has Infused
his charges with gobs of pep as all
who saw them running signals
Thursday afternoon, will agree
While the first two elevens wen
holding a snappy signal drill, the
third was engaged in a death
struggle with the Yearlings. The
entire squad is in good condition,
with the exception of the Day
Brothers, who are nursing twisted
knees and ankles.
The student event of the entire
season was th j announcement that
Capt. John Fletcher would not bo
able to represent his amateurs on
the gridiron again. The peerless
leader suffered an Injury to his knee
in a pre-season scrimmage that
kept him out of the line —up until
lhe Vanderbilt game last Satur
day. Going in toward the endl or
tho game, he played for only five
minutes when he recelvd a blow on
on his Injured knee that forced him
to take the count and be carded on
the field, while another no less

was being carried to the Vander

may also have his football career.

Football this year Is Just one sui

Marquette gave the east some

Williams upset the dope when it
trounced Gil Doble’s hitherto in
vincible Cornell eleven. Rutgers re
peated the trick.
In the west, Illinois' overwhelm

However, It la extremely doubt

Tulane University of New Orleans.
Vanderbilt. boasting an all-

played a halfback, and two other
players at most as famous in Wake

favorite to win over Tulane, but
didn't.
Tulane Came From Behind.
Tulane lost four games last sea

known to be much stronger, per

What Is more, Tulahe came from

The triumph scored by Tulane

SATURDAY’S GAMES
ON EASTERN GRID
NEW YORK. — Favorites in tho
more important eastern football
games of Saturday were In most
cases winners in contests with the
same opponents last year.
Yale which meets Army In one of
the feature games of the day won
a 31 to 10 victory over the cadets
in tho bowl last season after the
West Pointers had taken the first
half. It was in the army game that
the great Eli team of 1923 found It
self and this year it is regarded as
the gauge for an election which has
had loose parts rattling in its gamo
so far. The Army with Harry
Wilson added, is stronger and Bald

Cadets of last year.

unusual events. The death of
Percy Haughton, Columbia coach

Trio of Great Backs.
Tulnno is coached by Clark
Bhaughncssy, a star at Minnesota
many years back. The modest coach
gives credit for the victory to three
of his backfleld men. Rrown, Flour
noy and Lautenschlaeger.
"They are the three greatest
backs In the south. If not the coun
try,” says Coach Hhaugbneany.
"If Rrown Is not eligible for all-
America, no football player In the
country Is. Brown Is a wonder
player. His speed la dazzling, hi
is without a peer In the south at
running the ends and can hit the
line with the best of them. Inci
dentally he Is a great defensive
player.
"Flournoy and Bautenschlaeger
no one knows what will come out of
Ithaca.
Navy with a 21 to S defeat at the
•hands of Penn, State last season
seems destined to wait a year for
revenge. Despite its two defeats
by Georgia Tech and Syracuse, tho
Nittany Lion is one of the strong
est teams of the season. Navy has
not only been beaten by Marquette,
Princeton and West Virginia Wes
leyan but its squad was shattered
this week 1»V the loss of four of
their stars who'failed in their scho
lastic requirements.
Dartmouth and Brown at Han
over will continue the 16 to 14 ar
gument which tho Green won last
year. Dartmouth is favored to
beat the Bruins. ’
Syracuse defeated Pitt, 8 to 0 last
season nnd should win by a bigger
margin this year.
Princeton, Harvard, Rutgers and
Lehigh will have compartlvely easy
opponents.
WOFFORD DEFEATS
PRESBYTERIANS AT
SPARTANBURG, 19-7
SPARTANBURG, S. C.—Wofford
cume out of it Thursday and un
leashing a driving attack that the
Presbyterian Collego was never
able to stop effectively, routed the
Blue Stockings for tho first time
in Boveral years in decisive fashion
by tho score of 10 to 7. Three
touchdowns were driven over al
most entirely on straight football
and two other excellent chances to
score were lost because of a fum
ble once and a pass over the goal
line for a touchdown tho second
time.
The Presbyterians scored In the
fourth quarter when Wright, Wof
ford right end, In attempting to bat
down a P. C. pass, deflected the
ball into Warner s arms on the goal
line. Spectators thought the ball
grounded and that Warner lmd
trapped It, but tho officials decreed
otherwise and tho tally counted.
GABRIEL HILL
IS THE STAR.
Tho greatest work of the day
was contributed by Gabriel Hill.
lGff-pound fullback, who ripped
open the P. C. line repeatedly for
gains ranging up to 16 yards. El
mer Habei: left end, who also did
Wofford's punting, pluyod a beau
tiful game. Bell, halfback, also was
a consistent ground-gainer through
the line. Roberts, with a 4U-yard
sprint, made the longest daslt of the
day. sweeping I*. O.'h right end for
tlie distance. Latimer at quarter
back ran the Terriers very success
fully.
The P. C. attack was utterly help
less in trying to gain cither through
Wofford’s line or around the ends.
Four first downs, enrned by
scrimmage, were scored by tho
Blue Stockings, all In the fourth
period. Five other new downs on
off-sldo penaltlest were also regis
tered for I*. C. Wofford chulked up
20 first downs nnd gained threo
times as much us ground as P. C.
P. C. TOUCHDOWN
IN FINAL PERIOD.
The Presbyterians’ touchdown
canto in the final period when, with
tho hall on Wofford's 36-yard line.
Warner passed to Robinson for 15
yards and then Griffith tossed to
Warner for 21 yards, the P. C. full
ha gk reaching for tho hall on a
dlvo nnd coming up with It on tho
goal line for a touchdown.
Wolford scored in the first quar
ter when, after advancing the ball
to the 2U-yard line to lose It on ft
push Intercepted on tho nine-yard
line, forced P. C. to kick and
brought It back 34 yards on a
steady drive, Bell currying It over.
A second touchdown canto In tho
second period after tho Terriers hnd
LAUTKNC HLAEOER,
are not far behind. Flournoy Is a
remarkable punter, unequaled at
line plunging and a great defensive
back n* well.”
H*rnrd Schedule Ahead.
The trio are proteges of Coach
Khaughnczsy, New Orleans boys
who came direct to Tulane from
preparatory schools In that city.
Down In New Orleans the fans
and experts regard the team ns the
best In the south, that would noot
suffer In comparison with any
eleven In the country.
Time alone will tell,
If Tulane succeeds In vanquish
ing Alabama J'oly, Tennessee and
Louisiana Htate, then the New Or
leans eleven will be deserving of
national consideration.

To Erect Memorial
to Frank Chance
CHICAGO.—Frank Chance, one of
tho greatest players nnd lenders of
organized baseball, who died re
cently after a lingering illness on
tho Pacific coast, is to lie honored
by the erection of a fitting memo
rial to Ills skill ns a player nnd his
genius as a leader of the old-timo
penant-winning Chicago Cubs. It
was so decided Thursday by tho
board of directors of tho club who
met In annual session.
Chance, who became known as
the “peerless leader," led the Cubs
to ninny National League pennants
and tho world championships.
BILLY EVANS SAYS--
In baßohall tlie team that makes
the most runs wins.
In football tho team that ad
vances tho bull the greater distance,
makes tho most first downs, does
not always win.
Already this fall some unusual
slltuations have been produced on
the gridiron. Certain teams, after
having completely outplayed their
opponents for three periods, lose
because of a costly fumble In the
final quarter.
As In baseball, tho breaks very
often prove tho deciding factor and
make possible victory for a team
that seemingly was beaten from
tho start.
In college circles such happen
ings are not regarded as breaks,
rnthor making the most of tho op
portunities offorod.
Breaks is n term peculiar to pro
fessional baseball, yet It aptly ap
plies to tho freak things that can
happen on the gridiron ns well as
tho hall field.
Cun you Imagine n team making
12 times as many first downs ns Its
rivals, holding tho advantage in
every other department of play, yot
being beaten.
No! Well, It happened In n. re
cent game between X’enn Htate and
Georgia Tech.
In that game, now a part of foot
ball history, Georgia Tech won, 15
to 13, despite the fact that Tech
made only ono first down while
Penn State earned an even dozen.
The breaks of the game favored
Georgia Tech. The southpaws fol
lowed tho bull and when a costly
fumble or some other slip crept Into
tho game, they made tho most of It.
In this game the downs were 12 to
1 In favor of Penn Htate. The yards
gained by rushing were 4 to 1 In
favor of the same team. In forward
passing the losers completed seven
for big gains whilo tho winners did
not put over a single pass.
Georgia Tech followed the ball
and had a good kicker. These two
features more than balanced the
edge that Penn Htate enjoyed in
other departments of play.
The team that keeps fighting al
ways has a chance. The fighter let
Ills determination usually makes the
breaks deserves them.
In the recent world series be
tween Washington and New York,
gameness decided the Issue.
Washington believed It could not
be beaten and wasn't. Possibly that
same spirit won for Georgia Tech
Follow the ball, watch for th
breaks, and then tie In a position to
take advantage of them, has made
It possible for many a game club In
football and baseball to overcome
obstacles that apparently has them

Board of Education’s Stand
on Tax Limitation Revealed
The Richmond, County Tax Reduction League suc
ceeded in getting a bill passed by the state legislature
last summer limiting the Board of Education to a maxi
mum tax for current expenses, of SIO.OO per thousand.
This is higher than the tax in any neighboring city. * Sa
vannah has a tax of $5.00 per thousand, Columbus $6.60,
Atlanta S6.GO, and Macon $8.61.
Yet the Board of Education fought the passage of
this bill in the legislature, and succeeded in postponing to
January Ist, 1926, the date upon which it will become ef
fective. The Board is now seeking to have the law re
pealed before it goes into effect. If the Board succeeds,
it will again have the power to tax without limit the citi
zens of Augusta.
Yet this same Board of Education now asks the citi
zens of Augusta to pledge their credit and mortgage their
property in order to borrow $350,000 for it to exoend.
To repay this sum. and $240,000 in interest, the Board
must levy an additional tax, averaging about $20,000 per
year, over and above the SIO.OO per thousand tax allow
ed by the recent act of legislature.
Until the Board of Education shows itself fit and
willing to manage its part, of the public business efficient
ly and economically, should it he Entrusted with the ex
penditure of $350,000 more ?
