in a slang sense to citizens OF New
England, but It has been applied by
Europeans to any citizen OF the United

"A yankee good horse" yankee good

tIonal Dictionary gives a theory that
the word Is q corrupt pronunciation Of
the word English, or Of the French

Culebra, @. 1.-THE strongest de-
Tense OF the Panama canal, In my opin'
ion, Ii the fact that q hostile vessel
must come into a 600-foot channel long
before It is within striking distance OF
the vital points of the canal, the locks,
and in doing so must pass within easy
range Of the forts that are being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when !
asked him as to the vulnerabillty OK
the canal in time OF war. Continuing,
he said:
THE naval power Of the nations Is
so nicely balanced now that no one
OF them would be willing to risk the
destruction Of o single battleship by
attacking those forts. which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and Of
course the accuracy Of guns on shore
is much greater than that Of those on
moving vessels. / do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
q naval victory"
The forts Of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many Of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work il permitted to approach
them, but venture to say that In case
Of urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within very short time.

game tomorrow afternoon be-
tween Georgia and Auburn for the
football championship Of the S. I. A
A, on the Ponce DeLeon campus in
Atlanta
Coach Cunningham put the Red
and Black squad through their last
hard workout yesterday and the play
ers are in the best shape of the sea
son.
Bob McWhorter, who plays his last
college gridron game tomorrow, is
also anxious for the fray. Bob wants
to end his career with a victory and
can be counted on to play his very
best contest against Donahues war
riors Bob starred against them last
season and the Auburnites certainly
picked him out as the marked man
then.
GENERAL changes have been made
~ in the lineup for tomorrow.
Crump will 60 to halfback in Carey's
place Conyers will go to guard in
McKinnon's place, while Logan will
replace Smith at end.
The Georgia backfield will be one
that can not be equaled in the South
with McWhorter, Paddock, Crump
and Powell all at the height of their
career. Powell has been out of the
game for several weeks now, but has
completely recovered from his char
leyhorse and no matter who Donahue
sends in to oppose him at full, Geor-
gia will not suffer in the match.
Crump is the biggest find at either
halfback or fullback of the entire sea-
son and can run from either position.
