By PERCY H. WHITING.
Nail this ouo in your memory hook—football players will
never ro back to the old rules. They may want to, nut football
fans do not intend to let them.
Our old friend Public Sentiment lias declared for the new
code and that comes pretty near scttlini? it.
Reformed spelling is all right, but it didn't go far enough.
It ought to have included the “Her(r)mau(n) twins”—Garry
and “Kid.” The former spells his last name with two “r’s” and
two “ns” and the latter with one each—Herrmann and Herman.
Pretty hard on us amateur spellers.
Tech needs a football score bonrd—three of them in fact.
The public cannot always keep up with the score. The spec
tators usually know when a ton chdown ’is mudo and they can
quite often guess what a touchdown counts. .
But when it comes to goals from the Held the public is very
much in doubt and how they can hope to know when a safety is
made is hard to tell.
Turf writers about New York have been complaining against
“chute” starts on the ground that they make a gambling prop
osition pure and simple out of a spectacular sport. It happens
so infrequently that races arc anything but straight gambling
games, anyway, and that thoroughbreds are anything but gamb
ling machines that the “chute races” are as good as any.
Probably they give the gamblers a trifle more even break
than races on circular tracks.
Any man who bets on a prize fight where the purse is split
even has thereby qualified for nn insane asylum.
The rules committee of the Cheese Eaters’ Association will
meet during the winter to revise the contest rules. The last con
test, hold in Libertyviile, 111., proved fatal to Prank Miller.
Brutality, commercialism and professionalism are cliargc'd against
- the game.

GEORGIA TRAINING HARD
FOR LAST GAMES OF YEAR
Special to The Georgian.
University of Georgia, Athena, Ga.,
Nov. 17.—Neither the rain nor the
snow the early part of this week lias
kept the Georgia team off the field.
Every afternoon they have been plug

Not u man was laid out In the Tech

Dahlonega held Tech down to u com
paratively small scoro. Georgia Is go
ing to do tier best to beat this score,
ami it looks as It she Is going to do It.
Neither the Georgia team nor the
student body of the University Is In
any way downcast over the result of

Atlanta. Goorgla was defeated, hut

The day of Tech's big football strug
gle—the Vanderbilt battle—Is a doleful
affair,—as to weather.
During the morning the clouds sunk j
down over the city and for several,
hours there was a near-rain which was '
taken as the advance agent of the real,
goods.
However, the Tec hand Vanderbilt |
managements are hoping for the best,
and If the weather Is not too awful u
good crowd will turn out to seo the con
test.
Never has a game in Atlanta attract
ed more attention, unless It was somo
contest where a long-standing rivalry
had lent the added Interest that comes
with such gamee ns the Tech-Georgla
and Tech-Clemson contests.
As an exhibition of football tho game
this afternoon promises to be some
thing remarkably good and oil lovers of
the game will be there to see the ex
citement.
Opinions Differ.
It Is hard to get any line on tho
game because of the marked difference
of the opinions of tho best-informed
men. Many think that Tech will score,
many more think that Vnnderbllt will
not make no many as four touchdowns,
others hold that the Commodores wlli
romp away with their lighter udversa-
football season of 1100.

PERRY LIPE FILLS GAPS
BY SIGNING GOOD MEN
Although Perry Llpe hasn't returned
'to Macon, thero to resume his inanagc-
irlal robes, It seems thut he Is mixing a
kittle business with his vucutton, from
svhat the secretary of the club says.
Perry was hit two hard blows during
the drafting season. One was the
drafting of Rob Spade, his premier
twlrler, by Billy Hmlth. The other was
the drafting of Bob Batchford, Ids first
Packer, by the Memphis management.
Ratchford was found by Perry. Ho
was performing behind the curtain of
oblivion In New York city, when Perry
got thu tip that put him wise. Against
the prbtest and the Judgment of all
clao connected with the club, he bought
Ratchford.
Bob was tile bud of the season In
the South Atlantic League. Ho proved

game—afterwards It will be a case of
"I told you* so," all down the line, no
matter what the outcome.
Vanderbilt will be liberally repre
sented at the game. In addition to the
great number of Atlanta alumni there
are a score of enthusiasts' who came
down with the team and another large
bunch which put in its appearance on
the morning train from Nashville. The
"old gold and block" and the Vander
bilt "V's" are being liberally displayed
and the Commodores will no doubt
come In for their share of the cheering.
TECH 13 WORRIED.
"Gee, but ain't they the husky brutes!"
Kuril was tlie comment of « Tech nmn
as Conch McGujftn’* tneu trooped up tho
steps Friday afternoon from Tech field and
got nlionrd their bus, preparatory to their
uot doubt—that they will be defeated.
The doubt lies as to "hour touch."
The Tech management tendered the Vnn
derbllt team the tye *of their field for
practice between tbo hours of 2 and 3 Fri
day afternoon.
When the Commodores took the field,
hardly a Tech man waa In sight: The
Atlanta men feared that, perhaps. It was
not quite courteous to Intrude on the vis
itors. Hut gradually this fec|lng wore away
aa It became ohvloas that the practice
was not secret. Then Tech men In droves
flocked on to the field to see the McGnglu
machine In action^ ■“
And they were more or less startled at
the speed the men displayed, at their alee
and their obvious knowledge of the game.
Itob Hlnke showed a few stunts In the
jointing and goal klekfng line, which Indi
cated that If "Lobster" Brown Is to main
tain his reputation for booting supremacy
lie will have to kick bis "durndest" on
Saturday. •
For Bluko Is nu awful punter. When
lie gets one of his long spirals wobbling
through the air, It Is ns likely to go 55
yards as 40. And Ills ability to make kicks
. from placement Is something phenomenal.
| After tho Vanderbilt men had piled Into
1 their conveyance on thi»lr return trip, they
f remained Iff front of the entrance to the
field long enough to give a yell for Tech.
This was returned In kind by the Yellow
Jackets, who gave three large, loud cheers
for the Commodores.
Then the team departed hotelward, sing
ing some doleral*melody, apparently tune
less, but no doubt teeming with college
TECH WORKS OUT.
spirit and all those sorts of things.
The Tech team followed the Commodores
on the field, and for a couple of hours
went through practice signals and did light
work.
If Tech can hold the Commodores down
totter than the Hewanee team does on
Thanksglvlog day, It will be one thing that
Tech much desires. If they can hold them

will, then It will constitute practically a

[SAVANNAH TEAM
ENTERS A DENIAL!
The following letter explain* Itself. The
article complained of by Mr. Colquitt wa*
received through the regular source* and
was thought to lie correct. Thl* correction
la gladly published, however, as the article
was no doubt Incorrect Id some points. Mr.
Colquitt's letter follows:
Dear Whiting:
In a story dated Savannah, November 14,
on your page you make some misstatement*
which I would very much appreciate It you
would correct. The Savannah team ha*
a reputation which ha* been hard-earned
and well-deterred, and the article assail*
thl* In a way that 1* uncalled for. 1 know
you arc not responsible for the subjoct mat
ter of tbe article, but kuow you will do me
Justice, *late though tbe correction come.
If the mistake was* In anything Init n thor
oughly trustworthy paper 1 would take no
notice of It.
The hUvauuah team did not outweigh the
Stetson team, whereas the article states
that the Htetsou men were hopelessly out
classed. The Stetson teem, according to
their coach, Mr. Litchfield Colton, weighed
ltt pounds stripped. Our team, ns
atltutcd in tho gatuo Tuesday, did not
weigh a pound more.
Your article states that Ktotaon was do
feated by Mercer. This Is a mistake. Ktet
son has never played Mercer at any time,
and. In my opinion, Mercer would be wul
loped world without end. if ahe ever uu
dertook a game with Htetaoo.
Neither did the article do full justice lu
that It was not mentioned that time was
called eight minutes before the conclusion
of the game, at the Insistence of the Ktct
son coach. The score would easily have
been 40 to 0. Tbe article states that the
new rules were not tried. Cootrartly,
worked numerous direct passes, on-side
kicks and formations under ths new rales
and made substantial gilna’thereby.
In view of the fact tbat my team works
faithfully. And of the prestige for veraelty
which your paper has, I ask to correct these
uilfstatemeuts. We play Georgia on the
5th. Your dope artist may be right wheu
he figures out a victory for Georgia. .. His
general result may be correct, but hi* com
putation Is ’dead wrong. We toltcve we

iSHAW WILL RIDE
FOR WEINBERGS
(HtHmHMHMIllUHMMIIIHHHMMHI
New York, Nov. 17.—Thousands of
metropolitan race-goers heaved a sigh
of relief early In the week when Jockey
"Willie" Shaw declared hls purpose
of leaving America for good.
Shaw Im* uccepte.1 a contract with
Messrs. Weinberg Brothers, of Ger
many, us their head Jockey for the sea
son of 1907.
The boy has been getting heavy of
recent years und hu Inis found it ob
ligatory to go abroud, where the scale
of weights to be inode by riders Is
much Mgher than thut In vogue on the
Amerlcun turf. Otherwise he must re
tire from the saddle altogether.
Shaw will get >15,000 u year from
the German turfmen- and expects to
ride at about 120 pounds.
No rider hnu caused so much worry
to the averago horse player In the last
ten years as "Hand Riding” Shaw.
Some of his riding hue been of the most
brilliant order, but ugaln Ilia work
called forth the strongest soft of re-
monstrancei.from the public and turf
officialdom alike.
Hls career this past summer Is an
apt Illustration. .He won the Suburban
Handicap with Alex Shields' Go-Be
tween and later the 120,000 Futurity
with Electioneer for "Billy" Lakeland.
A few weeks after the Suburban Hand
icap Shields let Shaw go, while In the
Flatbush Stakes he gave Electioneer
such a poor ride that a public scandal
arose.

More than a quurter of a million
people—perhaptt u half million—will
turn out to ace the forty moat Impor
tant football games In the United
States today. Probably tho total at
tendance at four or live of the gamn
will run on toward 200,000 speclator*
for, outside of next Saturday, per-'
haps, and possibly Thanksgiving U-u
this Is the greatest football day of the
yeur.
Despite the fact that the second Sat.
urday before Thanksgiving la usuatlv
a day of "big gamea” In the footbail
world, there Is really not much stirring
today In the South outside the Tech-
Vanderbilt game In Atlanta, which is ef
Interest all through the South, and ihr
Auburn-Alabama game, which Is of
great'lntereat only In Alabama.
TWO BIG GAMES IN EAST.
It Is the day of big games In the
East and West, however. The famous
Pennsylvania-.Michigan game Is, of
course, the center of Interest, for It
brings together for the drat time In On
history of the game a really ftrat-da.-.,
Western, team and a member of On-
Eastern "Big Four." If Captuln Curtis,
of Michigan, had not been Injured, Un
tiling looked like a Michigan triumph.
What the Ann Arbor bunch will he
able to do without their best man Is
problematical.
Tho other "big” game In the East l»
the annual Yale-Prlncetnn game, which
takes place this year In the New Jerse)
hamlet. This game probably attnrts
more attention than any other game In
the country each year, and thin yes'
It promises to bo inoro Interesting than
UMual, for there Is grave doubt on each
side us to Ita ability to win.
In tho West there are a lot of game
which, while of the greatest Interest In
that section, are not turning the foot
ball world unywhere near up-side dona
Best of the games In tho West Is the
Carlisle Indians against Minnesota,
which Is a contest of national Impor
tance. Ialat Saturday the Indian-
proved themselves almost us good a
the best In tho East by holding Bar
vard to a score of 2 to u, while the
Minnesota teum overturned doiie by
defeating Chicago by the weird aim
wobbly score of 4 to 2. The outcome "I
the gume. like that of tho Pennsylvania
game, will shed much light on the com
parative football ability of tile Eastern
und Western teams.
SOUTH’8 BIG GAMES.
Tho outcome of tho Davidson-V. P. I-
game will be watched with !ntere»t
here. The North Carolina team made
a great showing against Tech, and local
enthusiasts are wondering If It will be
able to do us well against tho Virginia
team.
The Georgla-Dahlonega gamo will «
followed with Interest by the many loj
cat enthusiasts of both team. "Sax
Crawford has made a good footnuii
teum out of Dahlonega, und while u
will probably not be able to take On-
measure of Coach Whitney's aggrega
tion, It can bo counted on to put lip a
plucky light.
