Dan McCurdy. while driving up Eines
bill at about $50 Saturday evening. had
a miXup with an automobile but came
out of the affair with no more seri-
Gus injury than that of broken Whit
iietree to his wagon. The car was COM
ing down the hill and there were sew
eral teams on the hill at the same time,
and somehow McCurdy drove his team
inf front of the car and collision fol-
lowed. The breaking Of the whffletree
freed the horse from the wagon. but
the animal only went a few steps and
stopped. McCurdy being pulled partly
over the dasher 1t was thought that h"
was injured and he was taken to
Skchar < Cos. machine shop where
a surgeon was called. and from there
he was taken in Mr.. Skehan's car to
his home on Green street, where Il
thorough examination was made. but
no injuries Of serious nature were
discovt red.

GAME PROMISES TO BE FULL OF GINGER-HOWARD THE HEAV- TER, BUT BIRMINGHAM CLAIMS SWEEPER MOVEMENTS.

Howard and the Birmingham col lege will meet on the gridron Satur- day November 23.
 This game is attracting much atten- tion, as both institutions will put forth the best they have.
 The rivalry between the two col leges is very keen, and so far the Bir- mingham boys have the best of the ar gument as they defeated their oppo- nents in two successive baseball games during the past season.
 The Howard team is little heavier than the Birmingham team, but what the Birmingham team lacks in weigh t Is made up in swiftness, headwork and ginger.
 Birmingham will lineup as follows Esslinger. center; Raines and Cobb, guards; Moore and Sloan, tackles; Nor ton and Campbell, ends; Britain. quarter; Buchanan, full; Davis and Bumgardner, halves.

The Georgia Scandals

There will be a meeting of the South ern Intercollegiate Athletic association in Atlanta tomorrow.
 The primary object of the meeting is to formally investigate the scandals of the two Georgia colleges, the Georgia School of Technology, and the University of Georgia Both colleges are suspended, pending this investigation, the charges against them being professionalism in athletics-than which none is considered more shameful or unsportsmanlike.
 It is a foregone conclusion that neither of these colleges will play football to- morrow. They are both, however, anX ious to get again on the gridiron in time for their annual Thanksgiving frays.
 It is feared that in consideration of the other colleges which are made to suffer for the alleged misdoings of these two, the S. I. A. A. will use every effort to bring about a settlement. However. it is earnestly hoped that these institutions, which, if guilty, are miscreants and "mis- fits in the southern territory. will receive no consideration other than fairness. If they are found guilty, their punishment should be severe. The s. l. A. A. should be firm enough to withstand salty tears of repentance and hefty heaves under confession. If these institutions are guilty, of them there should be made ex- amples. As has been stated before. the S. l. A. A. has never exerted the power that it should, and which it can with firmness and determination. Its laws have been obeyed more through cour- tesy than compulsion. The association has d chance now to demonstrate the much-disputed fact that 1t has a verte- brae
 Sinch Tech and Georgia, according to the allegations, have gone astray and are fallen creatures, socalled fighters for pure athletics are suggesting amendments to the present constitution of the South ern Intercollegiate Athletic association, of which W. l.. Dudley of Vanderbilt is president,
 Under the present laws, no college may tolerate a player who is a professional. Under the present laws. no college may allow a student to play football whose class work standard Is below par. No student may play football or baseball who failed to matriculate before thirty days after the opening of the institution.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-22

No student is eligible to college athletics more than four years.
 If these laws are enforced, then all is well. It too often happs however, that the faculty, by overlooking and failing to investigate, unknowingly connives in ras- cality. It is an invariable rule that as soon as any scandal brews, unwise re- formers suggest new laws, either as a means of personal aggrandizement or through ignorance. The country in every department, whether concerning athletics or not. has too many laws already. En- force those laws which we have. In that phrase is the secret of clean athletics and good government.
 It is obviously unfair, however, that because Paul sins Peter should be forced to suffer.
 "The history of the world" answers d contemporary when the above statement was previously published in The Age Herald, lis a chapter of the sufferings of the innocent for the sins of 1he guilty
 That observation may be and is true, but still it is not just that it is. Any thing is not just which is needless. To suffer needlessly is luxurious extraNa- gance. and abnormal philanthropy mis- applied.
 Why should Auburn, for instance, sui Ter a IDAnCldi cTdHlp, beCduSc 0cOi e7i has violated the most sacred rules Of clean athletics? Such suffering will be Auburn's portion under the existing rules unless Georgia is whtewashed. What is the remedy? And there is the knot for the s. I. A. A. to unite.
 It might be well to suspend the men charged and proved with being profes- sionals or ineligible for other reasons, and uphold the punishment of the college until the following season. In that way the usual Thanksgiving games could be played, and neither institution suffer financial embarrassment. Then from all athletic affliation suspend Georgia for the following season. Then it would be unnecessary for others to suffer for Geor- gias sin, for the simple reason that the chivalrous Georgians would not be in- cluded again in their schedules.
 The task. however, is big one. It is hoped, nevertheless, that the s. l. A. A. will demonstrate it's worth tomorrow in Atlanta, and it's firmness under tears and pleading. If Georgia and Tech emerge from the trial as white as snow, then the s. I. A. A. should disband. It would be folly for any institution to heed It's dictates. It's rulings would inspire laugh ter even unto weeping.

never finished. When everybody, in- cluding the players, left the field, five minutes and forty-five seconds of play remained.
 For the many matters of dispute, the game was far from satisfactory. Under a strict interpretation of the rules, it is very probable that it would be thrown out. However, the High school was well pleased, and after reaching the city, hoisted it's stars upon it's sh builders. Captain Streit of the High school, played splendid ball. Quarter back Haley of the High school revealed remarkable speed and coolness under fire. Left Halfback shannon of Ma rion was probably the brightest star of that aggregation.
