 At quarter Quill is considered better than Latham. but the latter to our notion will prove the faster man and just as good a general There is not the least doubt but that Barron and Flowers have something on Wade and Berryhill, though the latter, it must be admitted is about as nifty a broken field runner as there is in the south. At fulbaek Tech still has the advant- age; Judy Harlan being head and shoulders above Hendricks.
 Tech has the advantage in seven of the eleven places and the weights are about the same. Following is the prob able lineup for Saturday;

The attention of Dixie football fans is focused for the week on the Ap preaching battle between Vandy and Tech in Atlanta Saturday That this will0 be the most important gridiron clash of recent years, goes without saying. Tech hasn't lost a game to southern college in four years, and Nandy, though not possessing quite as good a record. is conceded to be the most formidable rival of the Golden Tornado.
 The dope at the present writing in- dicates that Tech will win by about two or three touchdowns. at least. The rather low score at which Heisman's team was held by Clemson last Sat urday cannot be taken as a criterlon of the strength of the Georgia eleven for four or five Tech stars were kept out of the lineup in order to be in shape for VandY this week.
 Tech certainly has the advantage at center, for Amis is rated much high CT than Sharpe the new man. who is being used in place Of Hirsig, who has been disqualified for the Vandy team. At guards. Tech has a shade. Vandy, however, with Cody and Lipscomb, can be figured slightly better than Tech, for whom Higgins and Pup Philips

To these are being added from time to time other men who have played on school teams
 in various parts of the state

PREDS PLAY ALBERTVILLE

Anniston, October H.-(SpeciaL)- The Preds were put through a light signal practice Monday afternoon, no scrimmag ge men days grace in order to give them a chance to rest up after sustaining tho knocks and bruises administered by the heavy Greensboro aggregation in the game last Friday.
 The Preds came through the Greens boro game without serious injury with the exception of Beck, who received a severe cut in the mouth. Though the sturdy fullback was injured early in the game, he refused to be taken out, and afterward it was necessary to take seV eral stitches to close the wound. His in jury may force him out of the next two games, which will leave big hole in the Pred back field.
 Higgins who has been nursing an in jured side all season, was unable to get in the Greensboro game. His place was filled by Guilliland, new man, who showed up so well that he will probably be given regular place on the line.
 Carmichael proved such a snag to the cadets offense that he was given a bulwark of three men to keep him from behind the line. His work drew the ap- plause of the spectators early in the game, and it was decided to bank two men against him in addition to his own opponent.
 Friday the Preds will meet the AL bertville Aggies here in what promises to be close contest Little is known of the mountaineers this year, but they have always put up hard fight against the Preds, and according to what dope there is to be had they are not having an off season.

between players, and that of 1919 was no exception. The real outbreak came in the third game as the result of the riding" of the White sox by the bench warmers of the Reds.
 As Eddie Collins was sauntering along near the third base line between innings, Jimmy Smith, utility infielder for the Reds, uttered some joshing ut I terance. Collins snapped a retort, and Smith came back in kind Their loud tones attracted the osher players. who came hopping over. Smith incensed Collins finally, so that Eddie spit at him, aiming the saliva at the grinning countenance of Smith.
 But Eddie's expectoration attack missed it's mark
 By that time the rival player were grouped around and it looked like near bloodshed. Each athlete singled out one of the opposition performers for his own Jess-Willard> Though the situa- tion was acute, Sherry Magee, the vet eran of the Reds. and ever a comedian. couldn't resist the impulse to inject a little humor He reached over grabbed Memo Leibold the smallest member of the sox, veritable midget. and said:
 Say, if they start anything around here, I'm going to slug you. You're one guy I can lick.'
 You can if lGu use azpair of bats" retorted LeibolH
 Before anything really serious could develop, the umpires separated the belligerent athletes after Collins had apologized to Smith for taking a pot shot at him with mouthful of saliva
 It may be recalled that Tim Hursts action in splitting at the very same Eddie Collins was one of the reasons perhaps the real reason-for Hursts expulsion from baseball.

Many factors contributed in the up- lift of the Reds to the sublime heights of the baseball world. And among them was their knack of playing the plate That's a trick which Pat Moran taught them-a trick that caused them to break the hearts and tire the arms of legions of,pitchers.
 Probably no team in modern times ever has shown greater judgment at the plate than the Reds. They were practically "unfoolable" Not once dur ing the whole world series duelling did a Rhineland platter swing at a bad one And only during the early weks of the regular campaign, before they had learned the complete lesson from Moran did any pitcher cause a Red swat smith to swing at one that wasn't good.
 More ball games are won and lost at the plate than anywhere else," is Moran's doctrine. "The team that has players that lack an expert eye in Judging pitch is a team invariably beaten. The team that wins is the one that makes the pitcher put the ball in the groove.
 My boys have forced every pitcher to put the ball over or take the conse- quence. If the ball wasn't a good one, they weren't fooled by it; they let it go by, and after pitcher tossed over a few that were bad and found that the Reds weren't swinging at the< he realized that he was up against it, that he had to pitch 'em over. And when he pitched 'em over the boys hit 'em. "
 Only twice in world series history has a balk been perpetuated, and one of them was committed by Harry Sallee against the Sox in the second combat The other was in 1912, when Buck OBrien baked against the Giants
 Explaining his balk, Saliee said
 "When I swung my arm to make the pitch I hit it against my trouser leg in the swing. In a flash I realized that if left the ball loose it was liable to shoot off toward third or first and that Weaver might score all the way from second. So instead of letting it go, held it and took the penalty of Weaver being sent to third.'

Morgan Blake Says Golden Tornado Is Not Up to 1917 Standard, But Better
 Than Last Year

Morgan Blake, the demon sporting editor of the Atlanta Journal, has the following comment to make on the relative strength of the Heisman and McGugin factions. Says Morgan in the Journal:
 The Tech team this year is consider ably better than the Tech team of 1918. The Tech team of this year is not as good as the Tech team of 1917.
 This about sums up the situa ton. But in saying it is not S good as 1917 does not mean that the team is weak Very few teams ever organized can be chased with that mighty array of experienced veterans of 1T. It was a team where teamwork was the big factor, despite -the fact that every man was a super lative star in his position. Such com : bination can't be beat. It can't even be tied
 It took three years to build up the 1917 team. The team this year was made over at the beginning of the sea- son It would be a physical impossi- bility- for it to reach the same mechan- ical perfection in one year that the 1917 champions had.
 Tech has a good strong line this year and two of the best ends that ever played on a Southern team.
 The backfield is as good as any in the south and perhaps little better.
 Alfred Adams. one of the Vanderbilt ends, should be fully up to the Fincher- Staton standard, but the other end will not be <as good, giving Tech the ad- vantage at ends.
 In the line Vanderbilt with Josh Cody and Tom Lipscomb at tackles, and a strong pair of guards and fine center, should have the advantage.
 In the backfield the dope gives Tech the best of it with Quill, Harlan, Bar ron and Flowers.
 yandy will, according to reports, have several pounds in weight on Tech to the man.
