EMORY COLLEGE, OXFORD, GA,
Sept. 24.-With about four weeks to
go. the Emory interclass football sea-
son will be under way, and the pros
poets are extremely bright for an en-
tertaining session.
Professor J. p, Hammer, coach of the
senior team of 1912, will very likely
train the present senior bunch, as
their coach, DR.. F. n. Duncan, has
left the faculty of Emory. BY this
arrangement it is thought the fresh
men are now without a coach. but
something will be done in the next
few days, if the 1917 men intend to
make their reception warm.

Tech Soldier Game Is On Again

n LOOM spread over the Tech
N football camp yesterday when
it was learned that Gene Pat
ten, the former Baylor halfback, and
who is practically assured of a reg
ular berth on the Tech eleven, is suf-
fering from the breaking of a small
artery in his knee. The injured
member has been put in a plaster
cast.
Patten has been complaining about
his knee for some time, but thought
he was simply suffering from
charley horse" The halsback. how
ever, visited a physician last night
and was told that he had ruptured a
small artery and would have to be
out of the game for at least ten days.
wv HETHER Patten will be able to
" use the knee in fierce scrim-
images when ne does get back into the
game time alone will tell. Coach
Heisman held out hopes last night
Patten would come around in good
shape before long. Gene has the
markings of great halfbaCk and his
loss would be a severe blow to the
Tech team.
The Jackets are working like Tro-
Jams these days and are coming
around in good shape. Tally John
son, the Chattanooga halfback, is sub
bling for Patten, and is doing excel
lent work When Patten returns to
harness, Johnson will go back to the
end position.
