XX7HEN J. W. Heisman's rank
wv ing of Southern football
teams was published in
The Georgian it aroused a storm of
protest.
How in the world can Heisman
rank Auburn in the same class with
Georgia when Georgia beat Auburn
in the Thanksgiving day game, IL
to 81" was asked by hundreds.
With a view of leaving the mat
ter of the relative ranking to some
person who was entirely unpreju-
diced it was put up to Dan Nc
Gugin, coach of the Vanderbilt
football team.
1t was felt that he would have no
hesitation in ranking his own team
first-which he did.
1t was felt that he would be sure
to give both Auburn and Georgia
full credit and to consider the ques-
tion on a basis of the whole sea-
sons showing.
Naturally there was a genuine
fabbergastation when McGugin
ranked Georgia fourth and Auburn
only third.
Here is McGugin's reply TO the
query as to how he would rank the
first four teams in the S. |. A. A.
The task Of ranking the first
four football teams Is one have
usually side stepped. have also
almost invariably avoided select
ing an All Southern team, feeling
It might be better to save the
feelings Of some of my men.
My own opinion is that the gen.
eral strength of the first four
teams would place them relative
Iy as follows:
Vanderbilt, sewanee, Auburn,
Georgia.
While Vanderbilt was tied by
Auburn and beat Sewanee 16 to 0,
my Judgment is that Sewanee was
stronger extensively, and as strong
defensiVeIy. Auburn and Sewanee
were fortified with punters of
about equal rank. with GllIem
puntlnq as he did In the Thanks
giving day game and Shea su-
perlor.

the Vanderbilt Georgia game, and,
therefore, can not have an accur-

weakened Auburn very materially

that Auburn was weakened by the

George Stallings. of the

over to the Atlanta club of the

agreement.
Kirke batted 1922 with the Bos-

league fielder. He has a corking

Kirke came to the Boston team
from the Southern league, where he
played infield positions. But John
ny King, who managed the Braves
last season, was forced to ship him
to the outfleld. He ought to make
Atlanta a swell outfelder and is
likely to hit up close to the 400
mark in that circuit.

HOW TO USE THE P0STlCHE

The best postiche is made from

find a hairdresser. even in small
towns. who makes false hair into va
rious forms; II not, the combings can
be sent to a city establishment. The
cost of making is less than a bought
postiche, and the risk lessened.
See that the piece is tightly woven.
II too loose, the hair pulls up and
roughens. When this occurs there is
no cure but reweaving.
Never let a postiche get tangled.
Brush it daily, or as often as worn,
with brush with rubber back and
stiff bristles This tears the hair less
than combing. Occasionally put a
few drops of brilliantine on the brush.
II will take away the dead look that
so quickly comes TO false hair.
A postiche should not be allowed 10

The adjusting of postiche is impor-
tant. Brush the hair forward and pin
