RED AND BLACK
WORKS BEHIND
CLOSED Gates

n THENS, GA, Nov. 11.-Martial
II law was declared by Coach
Cunningham for the vicinity Of
Sanford Field when the eleven that
will battle Tech Saturday reported
for duty yesterday afternoon and for
the remainder of the week the high
sheriff with a search warrant couldn't
gain admittance to the confines of
Sanford Field. The slogan at Geor-
gia now is, ION to Tech" and the
pale moon was casting it's shadow
over the shades of the gridiron when
the Red and Black team went to the
field house late yesterday afternoon.
The doors TO the grounds have been
barred and locked, while relay OF
students, members of the baseball
team does picket duty on the neigh
boring hillsides and house tops every
afternoon.
There were a lumber of new plays
given the team yesterday and more
are to follow, but every member of
the squad is silent when questioned
as to the nature of the Red and
Blacks attack. One thing is certain,
Quarterback Paddock will call lots Of
signals in the Tech game that have
not been heard this season.
The Georgia team begins its week
of practice with every man in ship
shape with the exception of Powell
and Henderson. Powell is suffering
with persistent charleyhorse and
Henderson is still in bad shape from
the shakeup received In the Virginia
game, but both are out for practice
and Will get into the game some time
during the afternoon. Crump has
been shifted to fullhack in practice,
while an understudy for Henderson
is being retained. Carey has gone to
left half and his injured shoulder is
giving him little trouble. He fumbled
the only times that he was intrusted
with the ball in the Clemson game,
but was naturally a bit nervous that
he might reinture his arm.
Conklin has shaken off his charley
horse and was running signals in his
old time form yesterday. He is sure
to open at left end, and since the
great showing OF Smith IN the Glenn
son game he will draw the right
wing assignment. Malone has gone
back to his guard position, and Nc
Kinnon has been placed at the other
guard. McKinnon is a good punter
and II Henderson is unable to look
after this department the former will
do the booting in this game.

public insists on ferreting out the
game In spite of the precautions
taken by the college authorities
against discovery, II seems to us that
the public should accept it as it finds
It.
M OREOVER, we believe that the
pasume as now conducted af-
tords splendid opportunity to
spread the socialistic propaSanda
where it may do a lot of good. All
men are presumed to be free and
equal anad when % young persons
get together on the gridiron and Mon,
tressor NanStuyves Waits, OF tho
wealthy Watts family, makes a
touchdown, why should we not
aScrtbe the action to Henry Doolitt,a
who is of poor but honest parentase
especially when we don't know any
different?
Why discriminate against Henry?
Why be snonbish and cater to the
Watts?
While * is our personal notion that
only men who have strawberry birth
marks. or other distinguishing phys
iCal characteristics, should be picked
for football fodder. the suggestion has
been offered from time to time that
the players be numbered Moreover,
the idea has been tried out from time
to time with varying results. but the
big colleges generally have rejected
the scheme on the ground that il
tends to commercislize the game
This may be true, but a lot Of
contrary people believe that a game
that can afford to build Stadiums
seating 10000 people and charge 81 a
smash for seats might make some
small concess Ions to commercialism,

JOHNSON FUND Is
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Eleven Hundred Dollars Contributed By Fans to Give Smoke
ball" Pitcher Handsome Trophy-Boosters Get Hat
Bands and Buttons to Wear Saturday
CONTINUED from First Page.)

r d6t.J
and by a coincidence Detroit is to be
here.
Fans and fannettes are getting boost
er hatbands and buttons at the business
office of The Times today to wear Al
the Walter Johnson cup presentation
Boss Booster Bill Hoover turned over
several thousand buttons and bands
which will be given out as long as they
last.
Since morning there has been quite a
call for the buttons and bands, and all
Of the fans can have the souvenirs of
the Boosters Club as long as they last.
Indications point to the fact that every
booster Will be plastered with buttons
and the blue bands to be known as one
for Walter johnson.
Six years ago, johnson, a tall, rangy
youngster with good reputation as a
bush Lacquer, faced Detroit He lost, 8
to 2, Tom Hughes, the only Washington
player of Griffs team then with the
Nationals, relieving him in the eighth,
when Cliff Blankenship batted for him
Since that date Walter Johnson has
become known as the greatest pitcher
In the world. It was decided three
weeks ago to give him an anniversary
cup August 2, and Manager Griffith
was wired in Chicago to know IL Walter
would be allowed to pitch on that date.
The fans, realizing the opportunity to
show what they thought of Walter
Johnson, got together, and availing
themselves of the opportunity to con-
tribute through The Washington Times,
have sent in approximately N,lOo to the
Cup Fund.
Forty Inches High.
The cup stands forty inches high. 1t
will be filed with money contributed by
the fans. and will be the largest ever
given to baseball player. 1t goes
without saying that when Commissioner
Oliver P. Newman presents the cup to
Walter Johnson Saturday the park will
be packed with fans.
Johnson Day is expected to be the
greatest baseball day that Washing
ton has ever known. The home coming
of the Climbers after their victorious
march for sixteen wins through the
West last year will be eclipsed.
Old-timers who remember Jake Stah's
eleven-time win, when red fire was
burned along the Avenue from the old
Sixth street station. will have occasion
to recall the demonstration when the
Johnson festivities begin.
Boosters and other fans Will combine
to make the Johnson Day celebration
the greatest ovation ever given player.
Every fan or player who has spoken OF
the idea of presenting johnson with a
cup mas said the idea was n good one
ord that Johnson was certainly worth
the best that could be done for him.
All Praise.
Every letter combines to make Walter
Johnson's name the greatest in the
game today. Words OF praise are COM
iEg in with letters from every walk of |
life. Fans and fannettes say he is the
greatest ever; small boys with badly |
scrawled notes write of the prowess of 1
