Grid Season
 Closes With Weeks S Menu

Random will enjoy its last week of collegiate football this week and the usual big Thanks giving bill is slated for Thurs day. This weeks grid menu, headed by the annual Auburn Georgia Tech classic, is one of the best yet served up to Dixie gridiron devotees.
 or course, interest will center in the battle between Tech and Auburn. As usual, both teams are among the lead ing contenders for the Dixie title, and much may depend upon the outcome of the battle Thursday,
 Tech will in all probability enter the contest a favorite over Auburn, but by doling out terrific defeats to Vandy and Washington and Lee the Plainsmen have acquired reputation for power that will cause many dopesters to stick by them.
 Auburn's powerful defense will be greatly needed if the Plainsmen hope to stand off the driving attack of tbe Yellow Jackets It will be q great bat tie and the interest of the fans will no doubt center on this contest.
 ALABAMA PLAYS HERE
 Next in line with the Auburn-Tec game comes the annual Alabama-Mis- sissppi A. x M battle, which will be staged at Birmingham on Thanksgiv- ing.
 Tue Aggics haven't been having
 such a great season this year, but they are strong enough to give
 Alabama a good fight fOE the de-
 cision. This game will be played mt Riekwood park Thanksgiving aft-
 crnoon.
 There are several other big battles to be staged this week, prominent ramong them being Tulane vs. L. s. L., " M l. vs V. P l., Vanderbilt vs. Sewanee, Georgia vs. Clemson and Georgetown vs. Boston college. The chief importance of the Georgia-Cle.n- son game rests in the fact that Geor- gia is an unbeaten eleven and Is strongly contending for the s. I. A. A. i championship.
 S. I. A.. A. TITLE CLAIMS
 The southern championship seems to be clearing up bit. There are still TOUT DD6dlen teams III LIME, iltllcty. '. ! Georgia, Tulane, Tech and V. Nj. l. The title may be decided from the follow ing games Thanksgiving:
 Tech vs. Auburn.
 Tulane vs. l.. $. U.
 v. M. l. vs. V. F. I.
 The only way for a clear-cut title ! to be decided would be for all three of the above named contenders, name ly: Tech, Tulane and " M. l., to be defeated which would give the Uni versity of Georgia a clear claim to the cha mpionship. Georgia will probably find little trouble in defeating Clem- son whom they play Thanksgiving.
 Defeat of either of the four leaders would means it's elimination.
 If comparative scores are used,
 Tulane must beat L. s. U. at least
 four touchdowns to stay i'm the
 running, as Alabama beat l.. $. U.
 three touchdowns and in turn lost
 to Georgia by one touchdown.
 Tech must beat Auburn Ut least one touchdown to retain it's claim,
 if comparative scores are used
 a medium to decide the champiOn-
 ship, as Auburn lost to Georgia by
 one touchdown.
 " NJ. l. must beat " P. l. by a de- j cisive score, as V. P. I. was beaten by ! Centre College by four touchdowns, and the latter lost to Tech by four touch downs.
 In all probability, the championship will result in the same muddle that it was last year, with at least three and probably four teams having equally as , good claims to the title. However. after 1 the Turkey Day results are in, one can judge better the claims of the leading | contenders.
