TIME most brilliant play ever

which, on a Thanksgiving day in
1907. sent the Sewanee Tigers back

course, the team that pulled it off
was one coached by the prince of
coaches Dan McGugin.

Secret practice is largely bunk,
for couple of reasons.
In the first place, there isn't one

trick plays And surely that is all a
team is supposed to learn by secret
practice-trick plays and freak for
nations and such. What wins
games is speed. strength, team
work. hard charging. good lodging,
courage, determination and luck.
Trick plays don't cut any figure

TINE teams Of Dixie are kidding
themselves this afternoon
for the last time this season.
With the contests slated for today
out Of the way they will settle
down to the sterner things Of life
and to the dreaded November
games. And this reminds us of a
kick.
OF course. Tech is entitled to
schedule games any old place and
any old time But if the Jackets
are again to leave an open Satur-
day in the latter end OF October It
is gently suggested to the Univer-
sity Of Georgia that they play here
in Techs open time. Think OF At
lanta gameless on an October Sat
day afternoon! It's a crime.
Georgia is playing in Columbus,
Ga, this afternoon. Foolish! The
Athenians might better be playing
in Atlanta, where the crowds give
up real money to see football
games.
And, speaking OF that. 1t strikes
us as rather doubtful policy on the
part OF the Tech athletic authori
ties to give up Ponce DeLeon park,
so long as they hold that they can
keep other football teams out Of
the city. But next year Tech will
play at the flats and the Atlanta
Baseball association will be at lib
erty to schedule any games II wants
to at Poncey Suppose Georgia
should transfer couple OF games
there and suppose Vanderbilt
should take notion to play Vir-
glnia there-it would certainly
play the wild with Techs gate re-
ceipts. The Tech team Is never
destined to be very strong. 1t
therefore behooves the Tech ath-
letic authorities to keep the town
pretty well bottled up, lest some
stronger team take up athletic
headquarters here and win the
Jackets patronage away from
them.
a LII Of which is more or less be-
side the point. What we start
ed out to say is that practice games
end with today's struggles. The
games of November are all real
contests. Atlanta gets some good
ones and there will be good ones
played all over the South. OF
course, Vanderbilts unexpected OK
cellence has knocked the race for
the 5. |. A. A. championship into a
three-cornered hat, but there is a
pretty struggle on for second place
with Auburn, Georgia and Sewanee

A CLOSE GAME FROM
GUARDS OF ATLANTA
CLUB STANDING.

In brilliant and well played basket
ball game at the Armory court the At
lanta Grays defeated the Atlanta
Guards by the close score of 20 to %.
The game was the best played and
most interesting of any played here
this season. The Atlanta Grays have
again demonstrated that they are the
most likely contenders for the pennant.
The Atlanta Guards team is now a
strong one, and the defeat of that team
by the Grays leaves a rosy path for the
Grays until the last game of the season
when they meet the Governors Hors
Guard in what will be the best game of
the season.
