Three Stars Of192O Team Lost to Tech
By JOE HATCHER

Atlanta, September 10.-(Special.)- J. The clan call for the Golden Tor nado" of 1921 finds only Buck Flow man absent from the first practice session held on Grant field Saturday afternoon.
 The loss of these three men is to- tally irreplaceable. in a way. for Bill Fincher and Buck Flowers were two of the greatest gridders that havs trudged a Dixie field in many years. George Ratterman, in his first year. had the honor of getting 12 all south ern picks, and this year would have been one of the outstanding ends in the country.
 There is little cause for gloom around the Tech camp, however, for the remainder of the team is fit an6 ready for its greatest season.
 Harlan in Shape
 Captain Judy Harlan is in perfect physical condition for the first time in several years. "Red" Barron has been going Ereat, playing ball rll summer, and is in fit shape for the grind now. Jack McDonough> and Frank Ferst are back for quarter, with Ferst probably going to a half. Dewey Scarborc and Jimmy Brew ster are both counted on for sterling backs this year Brewster will most likely do a large portion of bunting on account of Bucks loss. John .Staton has one flank place sewed up with Harry Mcintyre, Jesse Fincher, Rather, Wood and several other strong men for the opposite wing
 Daddy Amis will take care of the pivot position with Charlie Johnson. oscar Davis and Lyman lighting for a guard berth opposite Dummy lLebey, one of the greatest men on backing the line in the. south last 1 year.
 Al staton at Tackle Al Staton will get one tackle berth, with Bill Finehers place to be filled 1 in some manner from the large nufn- Der of candidates reporting for work.
 Probably Lyman or Johnson will be shifted to a tackle, berth. Either is fully capable of filling the play, with over 200 pounds of weight in the i drive. Pinkey Hunt, Tidd, Stevens, Caldwell, Roane, McRea, Holley, Tur- ner and & host of lesser lights of last years team are back with good chances for regular berth this year. 1 Joe Guyon and his great coachins lst blocking out will be missing this year, as he is putting full time with Jim Thorpe's Toledo professionsis this year.

Robert Mersereau Preston has been having little stomach upset that the doctor does not consider alarming, not due to his recent operation.
 Mary Sarasin, wife of Joseph Sar- asin died at her home at West Will lington last evening. She was 45 years old. Burial will be in St. Ed wards cemetery, Stafford Springs, and funeral services will be. held in St. Edwards church at nine o'clock Sat urday morning.
 The meeting at South Wilmington on Tuesday was much enjoyed by those privileged to attend. The addresses were inspiring and the hospitality of the church greatly appreciated. That the attendance was not more general throughout the association was due to conditions and not to lack of interest. We hear that Clinton Eldredge who recently sustained an operation for appendicitis at the Hartford hospital is making a good recovery. His wife is with him. Her mother, Mrs. Louie Morse, who went with them to Hart ford and remained until after the op- eration, has returned home. Clarence E. Eldredge and wife are at the home of his brother caring for the children and the stock during this enforced absence,

from allowing their sons to take up a
liberal career. The monthly budget of
e student living in the Latin Quarter

The largest gains in average earn
ings in July were reported in the iron

tries. In the steel industry large re-
auctions in earnings occurred prior to
July on account of part-time work. The
gain in the average in July follows q
heavy reduction in employment during
the month, and is due to an increase
N the working time of the small num-
Der OF employees who are still at
work. In the womens clothing in
dustry the July increase in average
earnings is the result of greater &C
