CHATTANOOGAHOLDS GEORGIA ID A DRAW
Cunningham's Squad Bare ly Escape Defeat-Penal-
 ties Hurt MOccasOns

Chattanooga. October 9.-tSpecial.) Chattanooga gave Georgia's championship aspirations terrific jolt here this after
 noon. easily holding the Athens eleven to 6-6 tie. The Moccasins completely outplayed Georgia after the opening pc roo was half gone, and had not Hamp- ton, her punging fullback. been out of the
 game in the third period for ht@ag
 Thompson. Chattanooga would undoubt- edly have defeated Cunninghams eleven
 from to IA points. The ball was in Chattanooga's possession on Georgia's
 six-yard line when the game ended. The Chattanooga forwards were ner-
 vous when the game opened, and Georgia
 had little difficulty in showing Holzten-
 dorf across for touchdown after five
 minutes of play. Powell missed goal After being scored on. Chattanooga came back like madmen and swept the
 Georgians off their feet with combin- ation of forward passes, split bucks and end runs. Vandver went over Georgia's goal with the second period but five min utes gone. and tied the count. Like Powell. he missed goal.
 The Chattanooga score seemed to de- moralize Georgia completely, and the Moe casins again swept up the field. Orr re- ceived a forward pass from Vandiver across the Georgia goal line, put dropped the ball with a touchdown in his grasp. Georgia brought the ball out to the 20- yard line, but was forced to kick and Chattanooga again marched up the field. A flying tackle by Duzendorg saved a touch down shortly before the whistle blew for the first half after McWhorter had gotten by the whole Georgia team and had a clear field.
 Chattanooga received the ball in the second half and marched straight up to Georgia's 10-yard line, when Hampton was put out of the game for sugging and his team penalized half the distance of the field. The Moccasins marched back to the same point again, but lost the ball on a forward pass as the quar- ter ended.
 In the final period Chattanooga brought the ball to Georgias 10-yard lino three times in succession, only to lose it on downs. With Hampton's POO pounds of muscle lacking, she was unable to drive through Georgia's heavier line to vic tory.

Cotton, Snowy bolls of crystal white waving in the southern sun cotton Bales of several hundred pounds piled around gin or shipping dock cottons Soft dowry and harmless in almost every sense, yet furnishing the. basis of our modern powerful smokeless explosives
 Have you ever thought about those tiny little grains of smokeess powder. that go SO smoothly, silently into the modern shotgun load-that so forcibly eject those little leaden pellets. Have you ever con sidered their origin--their lineage? Per haps not-but:
 All of our smokeess powders are made of cotton from cotton made soluble by nitraton and then dissolved in ether and other solvents. The resulting heavy jelly when drier is manipulated to produce microscopic grains of uniform size and shape varying according to their intended use. Thus briefly is cotton transformed into explosive. Also thus briefly is the story told. But the process is replete with wonders of modern chemistry.
 Some of these powders also contain ss blizers or explosive ingredients that render them waterproof. All contain sta-

offensive grew weaker and weaker but the defense remained the chief factor in the success of Coach Caton's cohorts. The game at several times resolved into pnting duel between Blackwelder and Gibson, with honors about even.
 During the second and third quarters the ball sec sawed up and down the field without any advantage. In the fourth period the defense of the Preds was the strongest that they presented during the entire game. Howard re- sorted entirely to forward passes. two of which were successful. each netting the Baptists about 20 yards. The visi- tors also attempted the pass frequently but lacked a good passer.
 The Preds were never dangerous and the 35-yard line was as near as the visitors approached. However. they put attack, although without much success of their team and the Baptists soon found this out and resorted only to line plunges and a few trick plays. On the other hand the Preds used nothing but straight football except few at tempted forward passes. Only two sub stitutions were made during the entire game, both by Howard. For Howard, Caton, Hughes and Shaw played an ex- cellent game and proved tower of strength. Flemming and Simpson. the two visiting ends. played a strong game, together with Captain Beckman.

WAR DEPARTMENT LET'S CON.
TRACTS FOR sIxry-six
/ = - y MACHINES.

Washington, D. c.. March 1.-THE
War Department, through the office
of Quartermaster General Aleshire,
has Just let contract for sixty-siA
moving picture machines for the use
Of the army The contract is for the
Simplex machine land 1t has been
awarder to the Precision Machine
Company of New York, at $206 per
machine.
This means the War Department
has set out on a new plan whereby
Uncle Sam will endeavor to furnish
amusement and instruction for his
soldiers. A moving picture machine
will be sent to the chaplain of each
post and each locality where troops
are stationed.
Not only will each garrison have the
use of a machine, but machines will
be provided for troops in the field, in
the large field camps, and at places
like Texas City and Galveston, where
large bodies are assembled for pos
sible use in Mexico.
Army officers are convinced the NOV.
ing picture machine will be well worth
the money in that 1t will provide
| amusement, entertainment and also
instruction for soldiers. 1t will tend to
make the soldiers better satisfied and
to reduce desertions Also it will tend
70 keep soldiers in camp at night.
The moving picture machine is al
ready found at some of the post en-
changes and at Y. NJ. C. A. establish
ments with the army. But an admin
sion fee of 2 or cents is charged fof
entertainment by these machines
which are not government owned. I'm
der the new plan, the entertainment
will be, provided free of charge.
The contract which has Just beer
let by the War Department has stir
red up much interest among moving
picture men. A number of concerns
competed. One company made a pro
test against the award and there wal
a hearing to determine the merits o
the matter. After full consideration
the award was made to the Precision
Machine Company.
