Amee, Aug. s.-The outlook for

So far as It is known there are only
six men. who were members OF the
college squad last year that will return
to school for the 101S-1S session and Of
this number two are very doubtful, and
two were last year subs and four were
regulars. II tho four regulars decide
to return to college they will serve az
O pivot around which Mr.. Williams
hopes to build a slight resemblance to
previous elevens which carried the
state colors to victory in bygone years.

have a team or not" declared Coach
Williams, IT am receiving so many dis
appointments every day that I am be-
coming accustomed to them.
Il am only sure OF four members OF

return and finish their college WORK
and II they do It will be only because
they feel it absolutely necessary. to
themselves and to the government to
complete the work they have started.

WOMEN MAY BE ADMITTED
TO GA. MEDICAL COLLEGES

Atlanta, July 16.-In the interest Of

instruction wanted by Georgia women,
IN effort will be made to open the
state medical college to women and
also to secure the opening the of the
Atlanta Medical College to women who
wish to take up medicine as a pro.
fession
Both institutions at present pro
hibit women in the classes; but the
yreat demand being made upon the
iJc.ors Of the state opens such a wide
cd for service, and the need for
skilled medical attention becoming
more and more acute as the war drain
continues that it is hoped the two
schools will seriously consider the
question of admitting women.
There are already many women
