THE CLAY PIGEON
 A DECEPTIVE BIRD

Clay pigeon shooting looks easy. In fact, there are people who taboo the sport because it is too easy. or as they say, like taking candy from a baby"
 But-dd you ever swing a trusty gun to your shoulder-take a slant down the barrel-and try to pulverize that same clay target? If you have, then you'll know something about the slipperincss of said target. If you haven't-well, as they say in correct parlor English you've got another guess coming"
 It's funny thing how the fellow look ing on can almost invariably show the 'doer' how 1t ought to be done and trapshooting is no exception to this rule. But-well. there's only one answer, get out and bust" few yourself

Frankly it seems as though any one with sense enough to shoot somewhere in its neighborhood ought to smash it. This. of course. is the viewpoint of the spec tator. From the standpoint of the shoot CT, however, the case is different. To the beginner it is extremely different. yes sir!

Atlanta. September III I1.--(Speclal.1 ] Georgia Tech has started practice for her 1915 football season with the best prospects of any year in her history and if she fails miserably this season material is on hand.
 Ten. too, Tech will be playing her games on the finest stadium in the south, which will have seating ca pacity, allowing 24 inches to the per- son of 12,0oo. with room around the great stadium In the shape of bowl for three times that many seats
 Concrete stands face one side of the field with a seating capacity of 7500 On the other side are wooden stands that will accommodate 5000 more, while at one end are othcr wooden stands which accommodat 250O more
 The plan of the Tech authorities Is to eventually surround the field with concrete stands with 10000 seats on each side and 5000 on each end
 Inside these stands is room for two gridirons, baseball diamond and A track for field events, with none of the fields touching one another. This ElVeB Hn luea or the nelds size, eGpe- cially when home run can be hit on the baseball diamond inside the fence and this takes up only half of the field proper.

 Add to this the fact that there were in school a half a dozen men who are considered possibilities as regulars this season. and who were ineligible last season, and that the new men are we'll above the average and Techs chances can be considered bright
 One thing will determine Tech s chances.

 consider one of the most vital parts of any eleven The backs carry the ball usually and get the credit. but it's the old line that opens the hole and makes these gains possible. With the line prop erly shaped I think I can count on the backfield to do its part

And it's really case of work, work, work with Kelley. The big coach de- mands it. It's not weight and not speed with him primarily, but the best possi- ble condition.

Athens, Ga, September u.-Georgia' S football prospects for the 1915 season is problem that will be solved as the season progresses. Present prospects are absolutely dependent upon the new men entering college.

All veterans of many a hard fought bat tie, skilled in the game and experienced in the knowledge of opponents play. But they are not certain to win berths on their past experience Wingate, Neville, Hall and O'Kelly will give them a run Tor the job. In fact. I don't see how 1t is going to be possible to keep the last -four mentioned off the team There is not room for all, so there will be some battle to show who is the best man for places Then there is another tackle scheduled to enter college, who is touted as being some tackle and if reports speak half the truth he is good. spelled with a carital c. This line must round into early shape, play football and bear half the offensive burden. For the green back field will develop slowly and cannot be expected to show until the Virginia game if even then. It Is toward developing the backs that most work will be done.
 The material for backs of the calibre of southern players is not in college in any large quantity. They may be among the new men reporting but even if found there they must be developed before they can be counted on. The day is past when brawn Is the main requisite for a football player. It takes man with a smooth, quick-thinking apparatus above his shoulders to do anything in the mod ern game of football The team is a ma chine composed of il parts and if one cog works slow the team Is handicapped

But brains count and that is where Ed can lead the field. Coleman is another possibility who has a most valuable asset in being able to punt and drop kick, besides having the experience of two years on scrub team. Knox. Paine. Marshburn, Fox, Holtzendorf and Hutchinson are likely backs, but all are not quite of sufficient calibre to make good. One of the num- Der will likely make the team. Who he Is I don't know, but will be the one who shows the best with his brain
 New Men Entering
 Now there are some good men who have signified their intentions of enter ing college. The new crop looks to be the best since the day when Joe Harrell Bob McWhorter. Timon Bowden. Punk Malone. Jim Minnehan and John Hender- son gave Georgia her best class Beas sley Is the only certainty whose name can se

 The schedule gives Athens three big games, Virginia, Auburn and Clemson. The best menu ever served locally and which promises the most exciting season of Georgia's long career. The team re- ports fit and ready for the fray. Georgia has lost prestige to win back. To that end no means will be spared. It may prove disastrous season, but it won't be the players fault. They are united that they will do their best to give the Red and Black victorious season. With this splendid spirit, experience gained in past defeats. splendid prospects in the frenshman class and everybody pulling together Georgia starts under the most favorable conditions.
