Auburn, November 24.-l
 Special. .)-Thanksgiving Day
 in Atlanta will witness one of
 the greatest football contests
 in southern history. The clash
 of the Golden Tornado and the
 Auburn Plainsmen, which for
 so many years has been an an-
 nual classic for lovers of the gridiron sport, will prove an
 epoch in athletic circles tomor-
 row and it's record will doubt
 less be referred to for years to
 come.
 In the first place. both teams are
 ID excellent playing condition. In
 speed and experience, doubtless Geor-
 gia Tech has the, advantage. That
 team has been playing together for a
 period of years. is composed of vet
 erans seasoned by many a battle
 against strong opponents, and is
 eoSeeher Tn us work only as
 continuous play can accomplish,
 Yet the Auburn team furnishes Q
 heavier line of scrimmage, q line al
 most impregnable in it's defensive
 worN, and with splendid power on the
 o1renslve. All of it's players are fresh
 rom their sweeping victory over
 washington and Lee and each one is
 on cage to do his utmost for clean
 cut victory. They are, however, at a
 disadvantage in experience Only three
 men of the eleven are playing their
 thlrd year, four are playing their
 second year and four are playing their
 tirst year. One is a freshman. There
 isn't four-year man on the whole team.
 To say just what the resnlt ui,, he
 IS difficult under these circumstances. They may play up to their highest limit or again they may fail to make their usual standard
 The lineup will be much the same as that against Washington and Lee. m the line will be Moulton. Pearce. Grisham. Caton, Sizemore. Warren and ollinger. In the backfield there will be. Shirling at full Subbs at quarter, with Shirey and Brown at halves. This IS Browns first year, but he has made good progress in his position. RESERVES WEAK
 Auburn is also limited in it's reserves. the backfield, including such men a. Bullock, Case, Jackson and Moore Of the line reserves. Creel is the only one who has heretofore played in varsity game. The entire team, about c5 strong. left this morning for Atlanta. and will endeavor to get little light practice before the whistle blows on thursday. Their practice this week has been limited to very light offen- sive work with considerable spirited defensive work. Though few were a little stiff in the joints. in. the main | they are in apple pie order and able to give good account of themselves. If one-third of the success of a foot ball team rests with the pen. enthu- siasm and confidence placed behind the
 team by the student body, there will De no need to worry about the Tigers tomorrow. a q l MASS MEETING
 Last night in Langdon hall, one Of the best rallies of recent years was held. the students being addressed bv ! prominent alumni of the college, who had come up to look the team over and hearten them for the game. There were addresses by Coach Mike Dona- hue. Pitts and Bidez. There were talks by Paterson. Lockwood. Sheep" Lamb
 and Gene caton. There were appeals by Ross, farbrough and Captain Size | more, and all throughout the evening there was the band with it's provocative airs, inspiring the student body to greater heights of enthusiasm, led by that veteran of southern college cheer leaders, Neal Johnson.
 When the special train of l2 coaches filled with Auburn students and root CTS strikes Atlanta tomorrow morn ing. with banners declaring "Tech's a Wreck -Get Tech,' with the college band of 30 pieces playing "Touchdown Auburn" and a mass of uncorked Au- burn spirit exploding at regular in- tervals from a thousand throbbing throats, Atlanta will know that a game l Is being staged for the afternoon that will challenge the best that is in their team, and which undoubtedly will mark
