OFFICIALS UNFAMILIARITY WITH RULES CAUSED PLAY FRS TO BECOME DESPERATE. MUCH QUARRELLING AND 2S-0

Unfamiliarity with rules on the part of officials, or lack of sufficient force to ap- ply them, made of what might have proved an excellent game between Geor- gia Tech and Howard yesterday after noon the most fareical exhibition of foot ball, and the most tiresome, ever wit messed in Birmingham. Tech got the de- cision by score of 2S to Q, % points having been scored In the third and fourth quarters.
 The trouble started towards the con clusion of the first quarter Howard was preparing to kick when it became ap- parent that it was impossible for the punter to get five yards behind the ball. By agreement the ball was advanced five yards, the understanding being that when Tech secured the ball after the punt, the five yards would be returned. Howard punted and Tech secured the ball. h. stead of taking the penalty due, Tech made two successful rushes and when within four yards of Towards goal, de- manded the penalty Referee Mccoy granted the penalty and Tech scored q touchdown In justice to the referee, it should be stated that he admitted his error in not forcing Tech to accept the penalty before putting the ball in play.
 This f1uke touchdown was Techs only score in the first quarter. The play was even in the second. In the third Techs superior weight began to tell and Howard weakened by injury and it's ranks deci- mated by men put out of the game by officials, yielded to superior force, and with both teams swearing and fighting, biting and kicking, the Georgians swept all before them. Techs team disappoin+- ed local admirers on account of it's in- ability to score on Howard until the ar rival of such a moment in which the visitors greatly superior weight and speed told the story. There were no ex- ceptionally bright stars. There was no exhibition of clever football playing, only three forward passes being attempted. Tech got away with an onside kick which resulted in a touchdown, but the greater portion of the afternoon was spent in wrangling, bucking the lines. slugging, and circling the ends. Howard could not gain to advantage, but in the first quar- ters played strongly on the defensive.
 One Tech and two Howard men were elected from the play on account of slug ging. Both teams employed rough and un- couth tactics. The heat was intense and the dust fearful.

 New York, October 7.-Only the speed that has won for them the National league pennant this year saved members of the Giants from being kissed last night when they attended a church fair which is being held at an uptown arin- cry. Fifty girls in attendance at the booths made a rush for the ball players and attempted to kiss them. The players made a nasty retirement and declared they are done with sem-public social en- gagements for a while at least. The party included Fred Merl1el, c. l.. Her ZOE, Louis Druclzee, Grover C.

that a nineteenth prince of the
church had been selected.

pope's selections of the IS pre-
lates, among whom are Cardinals
Designate Farley and O'Connell of
The United States and former
Apostolic Delegate Diomode.
OF the Is prelates selected for
the red hat, II are foreigners and

33 with a foreign representation
of 81, thus making it practically
certain that the next pope will be

there will be seven Frenchmen,
six Spaniards, six Austrians, four
Americans Counting Cardinal

American) two Germans, and one
each from Ireland, England, Hol-
