CRIMSON SQUAD DEFEATED
 BY TECH YELLOW JACKETS

Atlanta, october 12-(Special. )-Georgia Tech, though outweighed about IS pounds to the man, defeated the Alabama university eleven Saturday afternoon at Tech flats by a score of 20 to 3.
 Although the day was unusually warm for football both teams played with snap and vigor, the game being one that was well worth going to see. Tech worked five forward passes successfully and to two of their touchdowns these passes can be directly attributed to.
 Alabama's lone score was the result or drop kick to Right End Wilkinson from Techs 20 yard line. This came in the first quarter and was the initial count of the game. at
 The Jackets scored their first touch down in the third quarter, recovering the ball after a tumble on Alabama's 40 yard line. Cook made one play around end for yards, then uncorked forward pass to Moore. who was on the goal line and scored touchdown Mcdonald kicked goal.
 In the fourth quarter Tech added two more touchdowns and kicked one goal. One of these touchdowns was the result of a forward pass and the other was the

 river and was wrecked Reid and hls lcompanion were not hurt.
 Reid told thrilling story. He said; We left Cape May intending to sail over the Delaware bay and river to the Philadelphia navy yard, S5 miles
 away. At 2:05 o'clock Friday afternoon when about a dozen miles from Cape May flying about l50 feet in the air

Then we bumped into stake driven into the bottom of the bay to in- dicate the position of an oyster bed and we made fast to 1t and waited for daybreak.

LOCALS OUTPLAYED AND OUT CENTRALIZED IN PRACTICAL LY EVERY DEPARTMENT. NEITHER TEAM LOOKED LIKE CHAMPION OUTFIT


 On a hot and dusty field the Mercer Raptists overcame Howard college at the Fair grounds yesterday afternoon in a rather disinteresting contest by a score of S6 to O. Neither team showed exceptional class as football machine, although the individual work of some ot the Mercer boys was at times splen- did.

 athletes signing year after year state
 ments which they know to be false. is rot. to say the least, calculated to en-
 courage in them that development ot
 posed to be one of the chief objects
 of every institution of learning.
 Most of the members of the associa- tion who are at all familiar with south ern athletics know that such conditions exist. Most of them would like to see the rules so changed that the athletes Of the various colleges might compete without violation of these regulations and without stain to their honor. They realize the ineffectiveness of the pres ent regulations, and know that they are lowering the standard of southern collegiate athletics. And yet they fail to remedy these conditions at the meetings of the association.
 Then what is the answer? If these members of the association know that these conditions exist-and 1t Is be- lieved they do know it-and if they have the best interests of southern ath- letics at heart, why is there compara lively no effort made to remedy them At least, why are they not investigator Either because these members have not the nerve to oppose President Dud- Hey of Vanderbilt in his pet schemes or that they have not the interest oi clean athletics at heart. Those mem bers who with long and pious faces declare that the rules are just and thai lthey are being enforced, are either SC gnorant of existing conditions that they are not capable of holding with lcredit their positions, or they are using

The locals swept the visitors off their feet in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns. In the second period Maryville came back strong and outplayed Tennessee, keeping the ball in the latter's territory most oi the time and making good gains on for ward passes One touchdown was scored in the third period while three more were added in tio fourth. The playing of Cap tain Fonde of the Tennessee featured. Five of the Six touchdowns were made by him. In the fourth quarter he caught one of Quarterback Jackson's punts and ran 7I yards for a touchdown.

SOUTHERN COLLEGES SKIRTS MADE UNCLEAN BY RULING OF A FARCICAL ASSOCIATION
 
 
 Ine igble earet o siuaion-Th Charge

According to reports from Oxford the Mississippi have been practically wrecked by the finding of several of the candidates who compose the very backbone of the squad ineligible under the rulings of the SouAern ,Intercol- legiate Athletic association regarding competing athletes.
 This state of affairs at Mississippi brings again into the limelight the to- tai inadequacy and inefficiency of the existing Southern Intercollegiate Ath- letic association rules governing ath- letics. The most rigorous of these are almost absurd and they would be prac- tically unbearable to the college ath- lote were they enforced to any consid- erable extent.
 And therein lies their real ineffici- oncy. It would be much better to have no rules at all with which to bar pro- fessionalism from southern collegiate athletics than to attempt to govern ath- letes by a set of regulations the na- ture of which almost forces their own violation. In many cases there Is not even a semblance of conforming to these regulations. This the athletes themselves know, and most of the dl rectors and members of the association are likewise aware of this fact. And yet no action is taken to remedy them.
 Rule Violations Known
 The evil effects of such a state of af- fairs is self evident. It weakens the power and dignity of the association, both in the eyes of the people at large and ill the eyes of the athletes them

Nashville. october 12.-(Special) )-That Vanderbilt has at least possible look in on football honors in the entire country this season is somewhat startling state nient. but glance at the situation will show such to be the case. Certainly it's southern rating will be established with out peradventure, for it not only meets the four strongest Dixie squads in Vir- gina, Georgia, Auburn and Sewanee, but victory over each would be especially significant in view of the apparent fact that each is to have one of the strongest teains in the history of it's respective in stitutions.
 Every indication points to Harvard's having the greatest back field the east has ever seen and one or the greatest if not the most formidable teams that ever sported the crimson, and possibly the best in that section this year. Should .ae Me Cambridge be a conquest. there Is conse- quently opportunity of establishing title to the country's best. There is no doubt but that the McGugin and Yost style of play is most effective against the eastern teams. with the most ancient and hon i orable football traditions. and much in- ferior in physical strength and experience a McGugin coached team is likely to cause trouble against an adversary of much greater natural ability. coached accord ing to a style of play that mas not adapted itself to the evolution of the game as has that originated in the west and intro dueed with such success in the south by Dan McGugin. Vanderbilt's tie with Yale with freshman and light outfit two years ago would incline to throw considerable light upon this line of speculation.
 The appearance of Tackle Shipp would seem to guarantee another powerful line this year, for with Morgan and Tom Brown alongside, the line cannot pc weak. shipp and Morgan are both bet ter than 200 pounders and will bring the line average well to the 1s0 mark. Nor gan is much faster than ever before. hay ing worked off nearly 90 pounds in a hay field last summer still, however being no

New York, October 12-Exit baseball. Enter football.
 As a matter of fact football has been on the boards for several weeks, but out side the college men and their close friends 1t has been outshadowed by the world series, so that few others have known or cared whether Yale, Princeton or Harvard had good. medium or poor elevens this year.
 With the passing of the worlds series. however, that great public that loves manly, red-blooded and out of door sports can give it's attention to the second great est American sport.
 I note by the way that some of our English friends declare that American college football is a "Beastly game not to be compared with soccor or Rugger. y know"
 This view is explained. perhaps. when these same visitors tell you how much better cricket is than baseball
 haven't a word to say against soccer, Rugger or cricket. For those who like those sorts of games they are the very sort of games they like, but to the Amer jean mind they are not in the same class with college football and baseball. And as America has time and again demon strated that she leads the world in ath- letic sports and as those who know de- clare that the spirit and ability which has enabled our athletes to win was de- veloped largely on the gridiron and dia- lnond; we will continue to pin our faith to those institutions until a team de- veloped on cricket ovals and soccor fields captures an Olympic meets
 A fine instance of the truth of this argu- ment may be found over in Carlisle, Pa John Thorpe already has shown himself i. 10 be in football what Ty Cobb is in base ball. The Indian is in class by him. self in this great game, just as he was when he proved himself the worlds great est all-round athlete at Stockholm. In a game the other day he made three touch downs and kicked seven goals and didn't finish the first half. He is also base hall player of big league calibre and can sign on with any of the sixteen major league clubs if he chooses to turn protes- sional, when he finishes his course.
 It would be hard to overestimate the I art played by his baseball and football
