Athens, Ca, Oct. 30.-The Georgia
team is going to Atlanta Saturday with
q full determination to win the foot
ball game from Vanderbilt. The team
is not in any way over-confident. The
members realize the strength of the
Commodores, but the Georgians be-
ueve that they will be able to cope
with them on account of the improve
nent that has been shown since the
first game of the season with Glenn
son.
The Georgia team is not at all the
same team that went up against Heis-
mans aggregation, and got beat by a
score of 20 to 0. The players are prac-
tically the same, but they are different
kinds of players in every respect. The
work of Coach Dickinson has had it's
effect, and the work of the team has
been improved all along the line.
The playing, both offensive and de-
fensive is at least twice as good as
formerly and the rushes of the Oppos-
ing team do not tear great holes
through the Georgia line as they did in
the earlier days of the season. The
improvement III interference las DCCi1
marked. and as a consequence the end
running is more to the front now. The
ends and halves are thus given a
chance to do better and more effective
work. The change of Killorin from
end to fullback has made an improve
ment that has already yielded good re-
suits. The line bucking of the Georg1-
ans is something terrific now, and when
they go against the opposing line with
n fhaTn iG ganRTdlIX a
magnificent gain.
Capt KetrOn says that his men are
not going to Atlanta with any idea of
getting beat. They are fully apprised
of the hard work that is before them,
and they are going to do all in their
power to win the game. Faith in the
ability of the Georgia boys to do that
thing has grown considerably during
the past week. The practices of the
team are still in secret, and they are
learning how to handle themselves
much quicker and to better adYant-
age. Quite a number of citizens and
students will go over Saturday to wit
ness the game.
Auburn Ready for Sewnnee.
Auburn. Ana, Oct. S0.-Auburn is
ready for the Sewanee Tigers to-day
The orange and blue will have a
surprise for the purple and the one
sided score predicted will hardly ma
teralize if Coach Bates plans work
out. Bates has issued a proclamation
that the least sign of Sinking, con-
slant fumbling or loafing will be sum
cient to fire a man from the squad.
The coming game will be played IN
Montgomery and as Auburn has a
strong following in this city, a big
crowd is expected. Already four old
Auburn varsity players living in Mont
gomery have reported to help Coach
Bates in his final preliminaries and
team work is getting down to a science
that has not been surpassed in Au-
burn since Heisman left.
Auburn is banking upon this feature
in the Alabama game five regulars
were left out supposedly being re-
served for Sewanee. Auburn made
the mistake of placing the state eleven
too cheaply and thus lost game
which they would have won with al
their regulars playing. Still this viii
place them stronger for Sewanee ano
make the to-day game much better.
The tremendous score piled up by
SeWanee against the University OF
Iennessee-52 to 0-Saturday has had
the effect of running Sewanee stock
IN Montgomery pretty high, and or
paper Sewanee certainly has the best
