declared he felt that Gedeon was ''en- tirely innocent and Alfred Austrian, at torney for the Chicago Americans, issued statement declaring that "Rothstein in his testimony today, had proved him self guiltless."
 Attorney Austrian declared that Roth stein who had been mentioned in some quarters as the man who had financed the bribing of Chicago White Sox play CTS, not only had not helped fix the se- ries. but had done, everything he couid to prevent the fixing"
 tMr. Rothstein told me, as counsel for the White Sox, everything he knows Of the series fixing,s said MT Austrian. He has completely vindicated himself.
 Rothstein, said Austrian, declared that every newsboy in New York knew the series was fixed" He came before the jury at the request of MT. Austrian. s GIVES NO NAMES
 Gedeon told the jury of being tipped by a White Sox player that the series was .fixedy' but he declined to tell the jury the name of the player who tipped him of and the question was not pressed, state officials saying they already knew" Sport Sullivan of Boston ard R. Brown of New York against whoin the jury has voted true bills, were men toned by Gedeon as men he understood were back of the bribing. Both were named by Claude Williams, White Sox pitcher, in his confession.
 Attell and Chase, Gedeon said he be- lieved, were the instigators of the game selling, and his statement was borne out by Rothstein.
 Rothstein said he lost $6,000 on the series but would not say whether it was on one game or all Gedeon said he won $500.

A movement to heroize Peter Minyard the heady sub stitute center who scored the winning touchdown on a forward pass, was sup pressed by that young man himself, who declared that the whole cam played like a piece of well-set machin- cry for the glory of A. and M.." which was indorsed by Coach Holtcamp. For the next few days intensive
 practice in preparation for next Satur- days game with the University of Tennessee will be the programme. and each man on the team realizes the task lying before the squad.
 The next game following the tilt with Tennessee will be that with Uni> versity of Mississippi, which is set for
 Greenwood on Saturday. Novem per G.. The ancient rivalry between the Ag- gies and "Ole Miss" still exists, whose annual clash in years gone by was al ways the Turkey Day classic. This year, however. the Thanksgiving Day game will be played with University of Alabama at Birmingham, which will close the Aggie season.
 Next Saturday will be a doubles header on this campus that being tho day for the five-mle cross coun.ry race and track events under the auspi- cies of the Southern Association of Amateur Athletics Union. The two events will be so timed that the finish of the cross country run will fall be- tween the halves of the football game at Hightower field.
 All that the A. and M. enthusiasts ask is a passably fair deal in weather distribution for the big day. but. fair or muggy weather. whichever 1t .nay be that day. will find the Maroons all : set and ready for all corners.
 l A big crowd is expected from beyond the college environment, and it is stated the railroads will adapt their l schedule so as to accommodate the vis- l itors from other parts.

Ga. Wildcats Prepared for
 Tiger EleUen
By CAREY J. WILLIAMS

Athens, Ga, October 26.- Special. )-The Auburn Ti- gers great victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores proves every fact that the Donahue boys have the best team that has ever represented the Blue and Gold.
 When the Tigers score 56 points on a team like the Commodore's there's some thing up. For Auburn's teams in other days were not of the big scoring kind. The Tigers also defeated Clemson q to G. while last year it was all they could do to defeat the South Carolina boys to O.
 Georgia had practically an easy tnle with the PetreIs Saturday and defeated the Atlanta boys.
 When the Tigers clash with the Wild cats in the river city next Saturday it will be one of the football classics of the south. The team that is representing the Blue and Gold this year is one of the best in Dixie, while the eleven that is carrying the Red ana Black StanuaruS IS probably one of the best teams that has ever represented Georgia.
 Every Georgia supporter realizes that the acid test will come when the Wild cats meet the Tigers The Donahue boys will outweigh the Stegeman eleven nearly twenty pounds to the man. The Georgia eleven is in tip-top condition and if they are defeated they will have no alibis to offer. The squad is in probably the best condition that a Georgia team has ever been in before 8 game with the

WILD ANIMAL AFFAIR

The game Saturday is going to be a regular wild animal affair-for it's going to be battle between Tigers and Wild cats.
 A friendly rivalry has always existed between Auburn and Georgia, and when ever they meet in any branches of sports the games are always classics.
 Georgia will probably offer her usual style of play for this game. With four plunging fullbacks the followers of the Red and Black believe that the Stegeman boys are going to try the seemingly im- possible and try to tear their way through the Blue and Gold line. The lines of both teams are going to play an inn portant part in this game. Georgia has a great number of substitutes, and if this policy of line-bucl<ing is carried out there will be plenty of Wildcats in re- serve. It is believed that the Georgia fullbacks, Ceilings, Tanner, Echols and Frost, can penetrate the Donahue line.
 It's an assured fact that forward passes will not play an important part in this game. Georgia is weak in this one

pass out of six trials against Oglethorpe
 STIRLING STARS
 Ed Shring, the tearing Tiger fullback, is one of the brightest stars on the Blue and Gold eleven. Shirling completely crushed the Vanderbilt line last Satur day and played an important factor in winning the game. However, it is, be- lieved that Shirling will find hard sIedg ing in trying to gain through the Georgia line when it is composed of such giants as Bum Day, ''Arty' Pew. Big" An thomy and "Puss' Whelechel
 Arrangements are trying to be made in Athens to secure a special train to carry the Georgia team and students to Co., lumbus to witness this annual hectic affair. Whether the special train can be secured or not the Georgia band will be present for the game. The Red and Black band is one of the best in the country and has about forty members One of the features of a Georgia-Auburn game is the music of the Auburn and Georgia bands and the roofing and cheer ing of the two student bodies.
 ''On to Columbus," is Georgia's bat tie cry. The River City is preparing to have one of the. biggest days in the his tory of their city Saturday. Already theyhave sold great number of tick cts and hotel reservations have been made nearly a month in advance.

STRIKE OF GOLD QUARTZ MADE
 IN COMET MINE

BONNEVILLE, Aug. 4-One of the biggest strikes of gold quartz in Sierra county in several years has been made in the Comet mine in Jim Crow canyon. The strike was made in January, but has been kept a secret until now.
 Development work in the Comet disclosed a vein of quartz and sul. phuret from 30 to 65 feet in width, all carrying good milling values with occasional streaks of high-grade. The deposit has been followed 175 feet but neither end has been found.
 The strike is regarded as of the greatest importance and there is every indication of a big mine. The Comet is an old mine and has yield ed considerable rich ore in former years.
