 The only games which had bear tng oil tne cnAaiplonsnlp1 We're the se- wanee-Tech setsto and the Ohio. state Vanderbilt bout. And both these en- hanced the claim of Auburn to. the laurels--only by comparative scores, however. Adhefents of vandy believ. cd she would at least tie Ohio State if not win the game. It seems cer- tain. ION ever that the Cominodores are rather weak this year and have not the goods of three years pas..
 The outcome of the game in Atlanta emphasized the prowess of Orange and Blue. for Sewanee was able only by a severe rub to defeat Tech to U. an lars out Of ttse orange and sue line, If sewanee had only been able to ad- squad the Tigers would have enjoyed q heavy sbacktns on Thanksgiving when they are to meet the kcGugfn gens st It 1sct isSs:S1SIls wis late. for Sewanee to round to and stink Vanderbilt by a bare touchdown:

 critics predicted. It was believed that Crimson and White would get pit the worst of the argument against the Athens crowd. It WAS known that Georgia had whipped Clemson 10 to 0 and Tennessee stung that college only 6 10 5. Another instance of twisted dope. Those, watching closely the trend of events would have hardly thought that Clemson would virtually play a drawn battle with the eleven which aspired to send the CommodoreE down the .tobogganA
 And this but leads to a discussion of what Tennessees and Alabama will do In BirTninEham. Thanksgiving. It might Oesa close game. and 1t might not. It may be that Tennessee, who was a star and dweIt apart so long only to EeI smashed. by the yander- bilt eleven, has dropped in spirit and sees nothing to- her Advantage to run up any more scores on elevens that can hardly be ciassed champions. Yet at that Alabama should give the Knoxville bunch d run for their money.
 There is stlll hope--graduall d. minlshing g-Athaf Auburn may arrange q game with Vanderbilt for a mid week date q This would settle the Southern championship claim. beyond doubt. Unless it Is played the com parative scores will have to apply. So far Auburn seems to figure in ahead.

Savannah Ga, Nov. 15.-(Special)- A most noticeable rivalry exists he tween the foreign drivers and the Am orleans who will compete in the Grand PrizeS due. the foretgners say. to the fact that an American won the Van derbtlt Cup. Several of the foretgners have asserted that they will do all in their power to take the first prize back across the Atlantic and that they would rather attempt 1t on the Grand Prize course than any they have seen in this country.
 The first coat of oil has been applied to the roads and soon after the work had been completed a good rain fell making the course exceedingly fast. Good time has already been made on the stretches and the course could hardly be in better shape for the speed trials which begin Monday.

Indians at State Fair Dance for Edit

One of the novel features of the fair
is the village OF Shoshone Indians, di

or ION the back" to be more accurate.
The sduaw laboring under the burden
OF the healthy, albeit dirty child, was
scarcely large enough to carry 1t about.
When questioned as to the age OF the
pappoose, the Indian girl giggled a IN
Shoshone giggle and ambled off to her
mother, who was evidently the mother
of the pappoose. The crowd followed
the girl and soon came to a corPulent
and lazylooking sauaw squattnS on a
dry goods box. with her eyes partially
closed, and a few strands Of hair In her
mouth The same question was repeat
ed to her, as to the age of her pappocse.

and was of a peaceful disposition. Ari-

had known Sioux Charley. or Sassy

Utah, who used to give the settlers a
great deal of trouble, but who was killed
at the battle of Battle Creek.
He said the headquarters Of Il num-

from which place the little group at

largely adopted the ways Of the white

Joseph A. Silver has two departments
at the state fair under his jurisdiction,
minerals and agricultural machinery,
etc. 1t Is the ct ceteras that are wor-
rying Mr. Silver, as there are no pre-
miums offered under this Latin classi-
fication. Mr.. Silver Is essentially an
authority. on machinery, steel beams,
automobiles. cranks and driving horses.
but just why he should be expected to
classify and arrange exhibits OF ct
ceteras is a matter of argument and
jealousy among the other supervisors.
Outside Of this they have nothing in
criticism of the resident of Cannon
ward. Mr.. Silver is identified with the
growth of Salt Lake and the expan-
sion of the mining industry of this
state Strange TO say, he has never
sought or held public office and takes
more interest In q. new wrinkle in a

constable for his precinct, With the
knowledge that he was no politician,
the Commercial club recentlyssent him
back to Kentucky to expert rolling

adverse criticism on the part of the
unloading committee back in the Blue
Grass state and consequent occupation
of considerable valuable space in the

Utah ; Splendid Fruit Display
Bv H. Parry Secretary of the State Horticultural Society

Prizes for commercial packs OF fruits
are new feature in the state fair.
and there are many competitors from
all sections of the state.
Many of the displays did duty at the
Big. Four county fair at Ogden last
week but are SO well preserved that
few would note any difference from the
fresh.
Among the larger exhibitors are the
following growers:
L. Hemenway Of Granger, Salt lake
Co, with 10 exhibits of apples, pears
and plums.
S. w. Cragun, View. Weber Co. 90
entries. comprising apples. peaches.
pears. prunes, figs, ounces, grapes.

merciai packs.
Cleariield Commercial club, Is entries,
apples, peaches and commercial packs.
q Clearfeld orchard Co, entries, COM
mercial packages of apples.
Salt Lake county's big display Of
fruit in variety is largely from the
orchard OF j. Madison Fisher. OF East
Mill Creek, winner Of so many prizes
In former fairs
Weber county has also a large dis
play of fruit in variety. much of which
is from the county intirmary farm.
Enoch Farr of Ogden. makes a speci
atty of grapes, and is competing for
the sweepstalse prize for the display in
that fruit. His fruit shows up fully
as well as that grown in California,
so we'll displayed by Hancock Brothers
in their tropical fruit exhibit which
pmbellishes the hall.
The Bear River Valley Fruit Grow
ers' association has few choice eX
hibits from that famous fruit section.
These are the larger exhibitors only.
There is an endless variety of smaller
displays competing with the more pre-
tentious ones for some Of the special
pri1es
