Atlanta, Nov. 25.-Football colors are
already flying from every coat lapel,
and the hotel Hobbies are crowded with
the enthusiasts who are here to see to-
morrow's big games.
Tech breaks in on Thanksgiving Day
for the first time, having secured Pied
mont Park. the best grounds, for the
game with South Carolina. Both sides
to this contest express confidence of
victory, but Manager Lyle of South
Carolina expresses the fear that his
men are too sanguine, though he says
he is not afraid of the result.
Georgia will meet Auburn her oil
time foe. at Brsbine Park, where the
grand stand was recently burned, and
where seats have been improvised in
the shape of additional bleachers. The
only advantage Brisbine has is in d
large carriage space. There Is the
same amount of confidence displayed
on both sides In this struggle.
Really the greatest contest of the
day will be to see which game can
draw the biggest crowd, and to this
end both the Tech and the Georgia
men will give rival street parades to-
morrow morning, advertising, some
what after the manner of the minstrel
show, the struggle on the gridiron.

There VIII BE Some Exciting
Sport when Man and Beast Are
Matched Against Each Other-WaI-
thOur Went Up to Atlanta Last
Night to See His FamiIy-Trnck
Being Put in Shape for the Rnce.
Bobby Walthour stated last night
just before he left for Atlanta, where
he goes to see his wife and children for
a few hours, that he was willing to
bet $1,000 that he would defeat the
ten blooded running horses in the relay
races, which are to take place at the
Savannah track Saturday afternoon.
Barring accident there is little doubt
but that Walthour, paced by his big
16-horse power motor, will be able to
finish in front of the horses.
The rain which fell last night may
make the track trifle heavy. but with
proper rolling it will be fast enough
to break some out of door records on a
dirt track. Walthour says if the
weather fairs up to-day, and a roller
can be worked to-day and tomorrow
that he feels certain that he will be
able to lower his own record, for he has
never been in such great shape as he
is at present.
Gussie Lawson, the Terrible Swede,
who rode rings around the horses here
last year, will act as Walthour's pace
maker, and will have charge of the
big motor. Lawson says that if Wal
thour can keep up with him when he
turns Big Candy loose that he will be
able to outrun an express train.
1t is doubtful if any of the horsemen
will be willing to take Walthour up
on his proposition to bet that he can
seen him Swimming around the bowl
be able to show his rear tire to the
jockeys who ride the horses in Satur-
days race.
1t has been the experience every
where races of this nature have been
pulled off that nothing is more excit-
ing than to watch the horses as they
gradually forge ahead of the man on
the wheel, and then see the pacemak-
er reach down and open her up and
slowly overhaul the flying thorough
bred. The last time these races were
seen here everybody in the grand
stand rose to their feet as little Nelson
came down the stretch leading the
horses by nearly fifty yards.
A great crowd is expected to at
tend the race Saturday, and one of the
finest exhibitions of the kind ever ar
ranged will be witnessed by those pres
ent.

GOLF TOURNAMENT
TO BE PLAYED TO-DAY.

The first of a series of handicap tour

The links are in good condition and
are becoming more popular as the
season advances. Numbers of players
go over them each afternoon, espe-
cially Saturdays, when there is usually
a crowd of players. Within a short
time it is hoped to have the first of the
series of games that will be played be-

neighboring cities
