ALL SET FOR
CLASH WITH
SEWANEE
Addition Of Strong Players Like
ly to Give Locals Advantage.
Georgia Likely to Win.
By Innis Brown.
Famous Football Officially

Regular football Is the order of the
day throughout Dixie to-day. Every
team with look-in for the cham
pionship of Dixie stands chance of
having it's hopes blasted before the
sun sets to-day with the exception OF
Vanderbilt, which happens to be en-
gased with Virginia, which is not,
properly speaking, included in the
ranking of Southern elevens. and
Georgia. which tackles North Caro-
lima, to which the same applies.
The local scrap between Tech and
Sewanee is practically certain to
eliminate one of these two, since a
drawn battle Is hardly to be expect
ed. From advance dope. it is hard to
figure where either team has any de-
cided advantage, and it is not I'M
likely that one touchdown will de-
eide the issue. while the margin OF
difference may be represented by p
field goal. since both teams have men
who can be called on in a pinch.
Sewanee to date has tackled a!
least two teams which might be fig
ured to cause any team in this sec
ton trouble. Reference Is made TO
Tennessee and Texas The Tigers
trimmed the Volunteers by a margin
of 20 points, but lost to the Long
Horns by single touchdown. How
that f1inlK W n
trip of 1000 miles and hold the rough
and ready Texans to so close d score
must have considerable strength. For
this reason alone Sewanee may be
counted worthy of consideration in
making gridiron awards.
Loeb and Patten in Game.
On the other hand, Tech has tack
led only one foe to date who has
caused the Jackets any worry. This
opponent turned up in the Florida
Alligstors. Reports from this battle
indicate that Heismans brigade found
it necessary to hustle quite a bit TO
get the edge. However, the Jackets
will enter this fray with strength
which has not been mustered hereto
fore, in Loeb and Patten. Patten has
participated in one game. but 'Har-
der-and- Harder Loeb has yet to
show for the present season, These
two should add materially to the
Jackets strength both extensively and
defensively.

Huff to Have
MANY Witnesses.

MACON, Nov when the special
subcommittee Of the House Judiciary
Committee comes to Macon to pur-
sue Its probe of the official record OF
Judge Emory Speer, there Will be a
horde of witnesses In waiting as the
result largely Of the personal efforts
of Colonel W. A. Huff. The subcom-
mittee is due to come here Monday,
November 10.
During the last month Colonel HUFF,
who made the first charges against
Judge Speer, has been to all parts OF
Georgia, and has arranged for more
than a score of men and women TO
appear before the committee. In ad-
dition to these witnesses, there VIII
be those regularly summoned by the
Government and who we're inter
viewed during the summer by Spe-
cial Examiner r. c. Lewis, of the
Department Of Justice.
In a letter to Congressman Bart
lett and Hughes, Colonel HUFF stated:
when ! testify before the COM
mittee l want Judge Speer TO be
where he can see and hear me, and
when he testifes ! want TO be pres
ent, so that ! can look in his eyes as
| hear what he has TO say for him
self"
Although the investigation is un-
dertaken by the Government, with
out anyone appearing as prosecutor,
there is no doubt that Colonel
Huff's original accusations laid the
foundation for the probe. These &C
cusations were embodied in the two
letters which Colonel Huff sent to
Judge Speer on July 20, 1912, and
which are now part of the court rec
ord. AS the result OF sending thest
letters, Colonel HUFF has been found
guilty Of contempt of court and Is
now awaiting the passing Of sentence.
Judge Speer has expressed to close
friends and relatives his determine
ton TO appear for himself at the
hearings Of the committee, cross
examining the witnesses. Two weeks
ago he told his son in law, A. X. Hey
ward, that he would adopt this policy,
even II he had to come to Macon on
a cot. However, it is probable that
in the investigation he will receive
the assistance of Judge A. j. Cobb,
of Athens; Judge Enoch Galloway, Of
Augusta, and Orville A. Park, OF Ma
con, all Of whom are his close per
sonal friends.
There is a growing impression in
Macon that Judge Speer will never
be able to preside over mis- court
again. or to appear before the in
vestisating committee. II is believed
here that his health has been wrecked
and that he is doomed to be an in
valid The fact that the Judge has
gallstones and must, sooner or later,
II ne hopes TO recover, nave an oper-
alton, Is taken as substantial founda-
ton for this widespread belief How
ever, his relatives are encouraged by
his daily Improvement, and express
the utmost confidence In his ultimate
recovery

JUDGE
Bill Of Exceptions Is Filed, and
Bitter Fight in Supreme Court
Is Promised.

With the fling of the bill Of
exceptions Saturday morning the
final fight to save the life of Leo
NJ. Frank, convicted of the muir
der of Mary Phagan, was under
way and one of the most notable
Supreme Court battles in the his
tory of Georgia promised.
Lawyers for Frank rushed the
work on the bill to allow Judge
Roam to leave the Superior Court
bench to-day so that he could
assume his new duties as a mem
Der of the Court of Appeals as
scheduled.
Jut &c Roam and Judge Ben Hin. ap-
pointed to the new Atlanta Circuit
bench. qualified at the Capitol Sat
urday at noon, and will take up their
new duties Monday Judge Hill faces
a badly crowded docket. Judge Roam
assumed his seat with the Appeals
Court slate clean for the first time
on record
The feature of the bill OF excep-
tons, in the eyes of Frank and his
lawyers, is unquestionably Judge
Roans own remarks expressing
doubt as to Franks innocence OF
guilt.
PRESIDENTS To Be Cited.
Franks lawyers were busy seeking
precedents by which it was said the
Supreme Court can order a new trial
on the mere expression by a trial
Judge of his doubt of the guilt OF the
defendant
Reluctant as he is to speak of any
phase of the case except in a court
room. it became known that Luther
Rosser. chief OF counsel for the pYis-
oner. considered Judge Roan's re-
marks the most important victory the
defense has achieved. and would
make them the center of the Supreme
Court fight.
Frank himself. who has closely fol-
lowed every move In the fight for his
life and has more than once advised
his lawyers, was reported happy over
the judges remarks. Friends said
he considered it vindication. argu-
ing that If Judge Roam had been Oh
the jury he must necessarily have
voted to acquit him.

make one of the bitterest fights ever
witnessed in the States highest

that racial prejudice had ever figured

There WAS a general inclination Oh
all sides to ignore the apparent ef-
forts to lay down course Of action
for the Supreme Court in published
statements giving rulings OF the ap-
peals court supposed TO bear on the
Frank case.
