Billy Landis Meets Sailor
 Kennedy m Semi Finals
Battle of Speed and Science Expected Result When Kelly and Logan Get Together-Meghan and
 Wilson May Appear Card

Billy Landis, the Willie Meehan of the South," will meet Sailor Ken nedy in an eight-round semi-inal bout. Landis, while he appears over weight and out of condition, at least to the casual observer, Is really in very good shape most all the time. A close observer, upon noticing Lam dis in his fighting tops, and ready for action. can tell by the clear, healthy looking skin of tho fat boy that its wesrer is really in very good shape. Landis is not all soft flesh at that. for he has supple mus cle beneath his almost baby look ing" hide.
 Kennedy Is Good Man
 Sailor Kennedy is exactly the opp posite type of man from Landts. Kennedy is a superb figure in his fighting togs. His muscles roll be- meath his skin and his arms are c.eanly moulded and finely shaped, like those of the statues of ancient Greek athletes Kennedy hits a ter rible blow, and had he the oppor- tunities of some of today's really great ringmen, might have developed into a top-notcher. As it Is, he fights because of a love for fighting.
 Kennedy and Landis will weigh in at about 175 pounds each.
 Good preliminaries will be arr ranged, including bouts in wh oh Stanley Meighan and Claude W ,i' participate. Both Meighan and .i- son staged splendid scraps at the S. A. c. last Monday night.
 Bscoe Seals will referee the big bouts tonight. The first preliminary will begin promptly at S:30 o'clock.

No Upsets Occurred Ln the
 First Grid Games of Year

Atlanta, September, 25.-Unusually hot September days appear to have retarded the development of the big football teams of Dixie, or their coaches deliberately held them in cheek in their initial games. for In the opening contests yesterday, in which 10 teams were arrayed against weaker opponents, SIX of the big teams made smaller scores than at the opening of the season last year.
 Better 1902 Scores
 Two made practically the same score. and two, Virginia and Auburn the latter playing a double header against two prep teams, ran up lar ger totals. Virginia however, pitted up 2S points on Davidson yesterday, as against 20 over William and Mary year ago.

of more careful coaching, there were no upsets to mar the records of the football machines that will later clash for titular honors.
 FumbIes Frequent
 Fumbles, however, were rather ire quent, as in early contests, and their occurrence enabled Howard to score two touchdows against Ala bama and gave Wake Forest the ball on Georgia Techs fouryard line. The Wake Forest eleven choose four attempts at 8 touchdown only to loss the ball when they might have reg istered field goal.
 In regulation football tactics the major teams as a whole showed a powerful drive against their lighter opponents, and Virginia performed brilliantly in the aerial attack. Fur man proved adept at this, as did others, but the Georgia Tech ends and halves proved unable to handle the long spirals.
