played in a few of the games, so that
two years are charged against him by

years in school, so Coach Heisman
thinks it advantageous not to use him
IN any of the games this year and
use the remaining two years in S /,

The varsity Is playing an unusually
fierce defensive game now, and also
showing big improvements in both
charging and tackling. When for

touchdowns in an afternoon on
straight football, now they rarely
score, only by getting a long pass or
an occasional fuke. The varsity. de-

.PREAS CLEARED
by PRES|DENT Of
BINGHAM SCHOOL
Tech Star Is Exonerated of All
Professional Charges While
Student at Institution.

\ sHEvILLE, N. c, Oct. est
N looks very much as if James
Preas Georgia Tech football
star, has been cleared of all profess
sional charges
Colonel Robert Bingham, president
of the Bingham School, is very much
worked up over the reports that the
Tech star was guilty of professional
ism while student at the Bingham
School.
Bingham says that the record of
James Preas was as clean as any
amateur in the South, and that the
professional charges against him are
without foundation.
'Preas was given a scholarship in
the school, but it was given on &C
count of general excellence in all de-
partments of the school-military
academic and athletic. | have a right
to give a scholarship to any worthy
young man, and I gave such a schol-
arship to James Preas," stated the
president last night.
President K. G. Mathieson, of
Georgia Tech, together with Mfr.
Floyd, of the same college was here
yesterday" continued Colonel Bing-
ham, land I gave them a written
statement practically to the same eff
feet. It declares that not the slight
est faint of professionalism attached
TO Preas while he was a student at
Bingham"
Colonel Bingham was much in
censed over the published report that
the charges had been made by a
Georgia alumnus who is at present
acting as assistant coach at Bling
ham, The only Georgia man en-
ployed at Bingham this year is Coach
Awtry, formerly a Georgia student.
and while Colonel Bingham stated
that he had not talked to Awtry on
the subject, he announced that he was
certain that Awtry had not been re-
sponsible for the bringing OF the
charges. He declared that Awtry's
character was of too high quality
to permit him to stoop to such
trick.

AUBURN BACKS
PLAYED POORLY
IN TIGER CANE
But Coach Donahue Is Getting His
Men in Condition for Sat-
urday's Big Battle.
BY Mike Donahue.
Coach Auburn Eieven,)

n UBURN, ALA, oct 2S, After
~ the valuable experience of the
Clemson trip the Auburn team
Is now shaping itself for the contests
that will decide its standing in the
:. |. A. A, The bacl<field men, who
had been working so well, did very
poorly against Clemson. The strange
held and the shouting close to the
side lines which made it hard for sig
nails to be heard. finally ended by en-
tirely disorganizing them. Not enough
variety was used in selecting plays on
the attack, and while the backs drove
hard and fought hard. they did it
blindly and with no judgment at all.
Newell was the only baCkfeld man
who kept his head. The team never
lost its confidence in him and on some
of his runs gave him beautiful inter
ference, the only bright spots in Au-
burns ragged attack. The desperate
defense of the Clemson Tigers was
also factor in unsettIing Auburn.
Playing on their own grounds, they
were goaded by many defeats to as
shown by any Clemson team. They
average over ITO pounds TO the man.
and, with this new spirit, Clemson is
very apt to take a place in football
something like that which the Tigers
used to hold.
With the experience OF the Clemson
game and with a little polishing up
his week, Auburn ought to be in good
shape for their Auburn opponents
from Mississippi A. & NJ. next Sat
urday. Taylor and Kearle are being
drilled In baCIiieid work and ought
TO be of considerable help to the light
sr backheld men who are not able to
stand the wear and tear OF a hard
game. Harris. Christopher and Bidez
will all look after the fullback posi-
ton, while Newell, Hart, Taylor.

play quarter and Sparkman can step

Win weight enough for the position.
The line so far has been impregna-
hIe TO opponents and is stOcklooking
proposition. From tackle TO tackle il
viii average 1870 pounds. The line has
been responsible for a great deal of
the good work OF the backfield. While
there are only two regulars holding

4 THENS, GA, Oct. 23.-The first
n real football weather of the
season found Sanford Field a
busy place yesterday afternoon, where
Cunningham. Ketron and Peacock are
planning a campaign that will be
waged against Virginia In Atlanta
next Saturday, when Georgia and the
eleven from the Old Dominion meet
on the gridiron for the first time since
1898.
A light scrimmage with the varsity
on the defense most of the time was
the afternoons offering along with a
long signal drill. Two complete teams
took their turn at the helm with Pad
dock running one and F1ournoy the
other. One noticeable feature of the
practice was the fine defensive work
of Logan at half. This player Is a
find OF the Alabama game and If he
proves effective at advancing the ball
will draw left halfback permanently.
Both Carey and Crump were on the
sdelines for the workout, one with
his arm in sling and the other with
his side in plaster cast.

Connecticut this week voted to elect
United Senators by popular vote, max
ing the thirty fifth state to take this
action, which assures that manner of
their election in future.
This phase of affairs has vital effect
upon the senatorial race in Kentucky

primary election of next August, in so
far as the senatorial race is concerned,
until 1914.
Mr.. Charlton Thompson of Covington

primary election law of 1912, was in

senators, and vouchsafed the following
statement
I'm my opinion. the action of the Con-
necticut Legislature to-day in ratifying
the constitutional amendment providing

Senators automatically postpones the

The dread line" in Dayton o i'm
mediately following the great flood dis
aster in that city was at one time COM
posed of $1,000 people. Think of it,
this many people in one long line seek
ing food with which to sustain them
selves and their families until they
might have relief from the flood demon.
Not charity seekers, for money in pro-
fusion would not purchase one meager
loaf of bread in that stricken city, but
substantial citizens of the once pros
porous town who had lost their homes
from the flood. The millionaire was
there along with the humblest laborer
who had been wont to labor in the
ditch for the support of his family,
each with basket on his arm, and
each were served alike, no distinction
was made between the two, each re-
ceived so much no more, and went
away satisfied, even thankful that
things were no worse. John H. Pat
terson, millionaire president of the
National Cash Register Co. who was
recently convicted in the U. S. court
and given Jail sentence for violation
of the federal trust laws, was the lead
ing figure in the Citizens Relief Com
mittee, and gave unstintingly of both
his time and his means to the relief of
his home city, thus showing to the
world that even in the veins of Mon
ey King the milk of human kindness
flows, and it needs but the proper in
centive to set it flowing in behalf of
his fellow man.

of the finest exhibits ever put on by

of the relief fund amounted to millions
of dollars, with as much more in sight
if it be needed. The government rush
ed troops to the distressed localities to
do police and patrol duty, protect the
weak and suffering, to bring order out
of chaos and to distribute the supplies
furnished in the wisest and most sys-
tematic manner.
Nor did their compassion stop here, a
few days ago delegation OF business
men from all over the country came
unsolicited to Dayton o., the city
which seems to most heavily of all have
felt the hand of affection, and said to the
people of that city 1--WE will furnish YOU
all the supplies and extend you all the
credit necessary to rehabilitate and re-
establish your city," Nor is this all,
men of means are banding themselves
together and contemplating the loan
ing of large sums of money without
interest for the first year and at ex-
ceedingly low rates thereafter, to be
loaned to the distressed people of the
stricken communities, the laboring PEG
pie and the working class, to enable
them to rebuild their ruined homes and
to establish themselves in as comfort
able manner as before disaster visit
ed them.
What more striking example could
we have of the kindness of heart of
the American people tLan this? What
better proof that this is the best coun-
try on earth in which to live?

Henry.

Immediately following the telegram
of the I'd inst announcing the serious
illness in Crystal City Tex. of Mr..
James r. Henry, notice of which was
made in last weeks Record, came the
news of his death. The remains ar
rived in Lancaster on last Saturday
and on Sunday afternoon after funeral
services at the grave by Rev. finder
and the local Knights of Pythias lodge,
of which order he was a member. and
loved well, all that was mortal of this
splendid gentlemen was laid beneath
the sod in the Lancaster cemetery.
Mr.. Henry was born in Garrard coun-
ty, son of the late "Uncle Buck"
Henry, one of the most highly respect
ed citizens who ever lived in Garrard
county, and the deceased followed
closely in the footsteps of his
respected father and became one OF
the most creditable citizens of the
county. A man of the highest integri-
ty, of pleasing personality he made
friends with all with whom he came in
contact, and who knew him as friend
once, never considered him otherwise.
Until few years Mr.. Henry resided
in this county, but disposed of his farm
here and moved to Kirksville in Madi-
son county, but his heart was ever in
Garrard as is evidenced by wish ex-
pressed to one of his sons. voiced just
previous to leaving for what proved
to be his last earthly home, that he
might in case of his death be brought
back to his home county for burial.
Mr.. Henry bought farm near Kinks
vile and also engaged in the mercan-
tile business at that place. A year or
two ago he became a great sufferer
from rheumatism, at one time being in
very serious condition from that
malady, but he rallied, and was able to
be about his duties. However, he felt
that the confinement incident to mer-
camille pursuits was injurious to his
health, he concluded to dispose of his
holdings and sought climate, whichIhe
hoped would prove beneficial to his
health. With this end in view he
moved in last January to Chrystal City
Tex, but the change proved of no
avail, rheumatism and its complications
had too strong a hold upon him and
upon last Wednesday the end came.
His faithful wife and daughter Miss
Lille, and two sons, Walter and James,
were with him at the time of his death
and accompanied the remains to this
place.
Mr.. Henry was 60 years of age and
had been married twice, his first wife
being sister of Mr.. Sweeney Morgan
of this place, and his second wife, who
survives him, was a Miss Williford.
Besides his wife he is survived by six
sons, Messrs Will, John. Gully, Dave,
Walter and James and five daughters.
Mrs. George Anderson, Mrs. E. B.
Creech. Mrs. D. S. hurry, Mrs. Thos.
Hill and Miss Lille Henry, and to these
goes out the tenderest love and sym
pathy of a host of warm friends and
admirers in their great affection, the
lost of the husband and father, and in
which the Record joins.
