GEORGIA TECH TO
REPLACE MICHIGAN
ONPENN SCHEDULE

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5.-Expect-
ing TO have Michigan sever football
relations, Pennsylvania's authorities
are now planning to bring Georgia
Tech to Franklin Field next season,
playing a November game with the
Quakers. The Pittsburgh game may
be set back two weeks and the Army
will probably be played, as had been
planned for this past season.
At an informal meeting OF the ath-
Ietic powers, Coach Bob Folwel and
Capt.-eIect Bert Bell both insisted on
having Georgia Tech brought to
Franklin Field in 1918.
Aside from the absence OF Michigan
and the presenee Of The Army, Penn's
football schedule next season will In
clude the same elevens played this
year.

CENTRAL'S QUINT LOOKS
BEST ON LIST OF TEAMS

Central is being picked to land the
Interscholastic Basketball League
championship before the season Is
even started. In counting noses for
the years campaign, Central is pos
sessed of veteran material better by
far than any Of the other schools.
A lack OF second-string players In
all the schools save Central will be
felt this season, and the coaches are
almost at their wits end to know
what to do with the green youngsters
on hand.
Received bad Deal.
Tech received the worst deal OF any
OF the schools by reason OF gradua-
tions and the failure of several stars
to return. Possessed OF = champion

VIII Play With Giants.
Benny Kauff, self-styled Ty Cobb of
the National League, and Dave Rob-
ertson will play with the New York
Giants next season. They have failed
to pass the physical examinations un-
der the draft law.
kauff was found to have one arm
slightly shorter than the other. Rob
ertson's exemption came from a frac-
tured thigh, the result of his playing
football iE Virginia before entering
professional baseball.
Jen Tesreau, the Giants mountain.
Gus hurler, will undergo an examina-
ton for the national army on Decem-
Der 10. but he is not expected to PASS
successfully, having refractory ton

According to the tale, Benny Kauff
begged for a chance to serve his
country, claiming that his short arm
never bothered him in hunting, but
the board OF examiners in him home
town refused to permit him to 20 be-
fore the army surgeons.
Army Surgeons Everywhere.
If the Giants most-advertised play
er is really in earnest about facing
an army surgeon, he should not wait
long, for they are everywhere. All he
need do is to apply to the nearest
recruiting station and his case will
receive attention. The chances are,
however, that he will make no such
application.
Robertson sustained q broken col
larbone, in addition to his fractured
thigh, while playing football at Wash

worse, he was mixed up In q shooting

JOHN TENER WILL MATCH

By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

John K. Tener, representing the
National League and the anti -Calam-
fty James, is about to test his
strength against Ban johnson, rep
resenting the American League and
the calamity howlers. The issue will
be placed squarely before the Ma
tional League magnates at New York
next week.
President Tener, who has not been
10 bit backward in opposing Ban

today that he knows nothing of any
