 RUIN TECHS MARK

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 19.-George- town of Washington, here to tackle C;eorgia Techs Yellow Jackets at Grant Field tomorrow, face an op- portunity 10 shatter record that has stood since the beginning or the 1920 grid season-Tech's record or no defeats in "A games with south ern opponents.
 While the Hill Peppers geograpn- ically are not southerners, they are classed by Tech as southern rather than inter- sectional foes and the two teams have met three times under this classification. Tech won these games by three touchdowns to one in two games and five to one in the other.
 However, Georgetown partisans here point out that the Jackets this year are not the point gathers they have been in the past and upon this base the belief that the visitors to- morrow may surprise Tech.W
 Florida, last Saturday, came near CT defeating Tech than any other southern team in three years, SCOT 7ng @ touchdown on the locals In She second period and holding off Che Jacket score untp the final mo- ments of-~ play. Only one team, the only Oglethorpe Petrels, has suc- ceeded in crossing the goal line more than once in game with Tech.
 In it's 25 games. counting the knotted one with Florida the Jack : cts have amassed S15 points against so scored by opponents.

PHILLIPS TO PLAY
 COLUMBUS TODAY
Game Scheduled At 10 O'Clock Saturday At
 Redwood

Coach Chestnut of Columbus High school Columbus, Ga, arrived here last night with IS men, all in good
 shape and feeling confident of add ing another victory to their list when they meet Phillips High at Redwood this morning at 10 o'clock. This team has the best record of any high school team that has played in
 Birmingham during the past two sea sons, Last year they played some of the best teams in this section of the south, and came off undefeated, be- ing scored on only once, and that on
 an intercepter forward pass. which was carried for 55 yards for touch down. This was in the game with
 Americus, Ga, which Columbus won by safe margin.
 They defeated LaGrange High last year, in spite of the fact that La Grange had an unusually strong
 team brought over from the previous
 season, when they were the cham pions of Georgia. The Columbus boys are a shade | lighter than the Phillips team, aver
 aging 15e to Phillips 15S. but this
 little difference in weight is counter
 balanced by speed and cleverness at the forward pass attack. The visitors are depending on
 Harbuck their quarter; Knight at full and Newsom at half for their
 scores on the local team. Hill at

 guard will be the mainstays of their | line.

Horses Are Not Worrying Ouer Track Condition
By WEsTBRoOK PEGLER heased Wire To Age-Herald)

BELMONT PARK, Long Island, N r., Oct. 19.-Soup or taffy or good soft loam-the horses are worrying least over the condition of this race track for their mile and one-half run for the winners share of $100,- 900 on Saturday afternoon.
 The clouds rolled over the flat lands of Long Island Thursday after noon, preceded by wraiths of mist that chilled the ragged little negro exercise boys and sent them scut- ting into the shacks to huddle by the stoves.
 Then came the rain, spattering on where noisy little flivver tanks had been narrowing the dirt in prepara- tion for the tread of royal hoofs. There was Encouragement and mis- cry and !despondency even in the sickly- wfsps of smoke rising from the tin pipes above the shanties scattered over the broad reserva- tion There was detection in the droop of the messy trees in the grove about the tumbledown gray club house.
 Tommy Saw, a bony-legged little Englishman in wide flar1ng brooches, got off some messages to the other side of the water Thursday after noon, presumably addressed to his bookmaker, and based on the great trial run that Papyrus went through in the morning. Papyrus went a mile in 1:3S-3-5, with Steve Dono- lghue presiding, and finished a mile which was no astounding time in 1t? self, but which gave those patient, calculating watchholders along the rail their first true notion of the for eign colts power.
 They are very technical when they begin to talk horse at you Their conversation seems to smell Of leather and saddle blankets, Sand to be slightly blown with oats as they tamp you on the wishbone and prat- tie along in their Greek.
 This trial of Papyrus showed then. as nearly asa layman could snatch the elusive meaning of their re- marks, that the colt from England is running machine and a stayer. He ran the first half mile in As sec onds and the next half took him only 22-5 seconds longer than the first had taken. And although he was under a drag from the spiderX little man riding just behind hS ears, he finished the final furlong just 3 2-5 seconds behind the world record for the distance.
 Any race horse can sprint a fast furlong or quarter or half-mlle, and some can have the sprint for the end of run, but Papyrus maintained his pace, steadily showing back the fur longs in uniform time. That, they say, is the work of a great race horse.
 There were bookmakers in the crowd at the rail, and when they had finished their quick calculations some of them had hauled Zev back to even money, although you could have had 3 to 1 on Papyrus a few days ago. That was before the rain, however.
 Soup or taffy or good soft loam- it is hard to foresee how either horse can lose whatever the going. Tommy Saw said Papyrus never ran on sloppy going, but wouldn't mind it.

Jones Valley Beats
 Bessener Hi, 7 To $


 Jones Valley. playing one of the greatest games of her career, won out over Bessemer Friday afternoon by the meager margin of one point, 2 to 6. It was hard fought game from the first. Both touchdowns were scored after fumbles. Wood recovered a tumble and ran 25 yards for Jones Valleys touchdown and Brill kicked goal. Bessemer recovered a tumble on Jones Valleys 10-yard line and drove through the line for the other touchdown of the game.
 For Jones Valley, Grill and Skews starred at ends, while Lovett ands Fox played a good game in the backfield Allgood played a good game in the line.
 For Bessemer Granger and Kilpat- rick starred.
 Both teams put up a good defensive game and neither team was able to make much progress. The ball was in the middle of the field during the greater part of the game.

BEN IRISH CALM ON EVE OF
 PAPYRUSS GREATEST RACE
Jarvis Sends Message That "Papyrus Well And Has Good Sporting Chance"
By CHARLES NJ. M'CANN Lcoscd Wire To Aue-HeraId.O !

LONDON, Uct. 19.-f'rom state of mind which heretofore has reflected only mild, diSnified interest in the Zev-Papyrus race, the English pub lie within the last IS hours has worked itself as nearly into frenzied excitement aa is knmanly possible in this calm, conservative land.
 The international race at Belmont Park Saturday is now the biggest story" in the world for the London public.
 Bulletins gre issued hourly on every phase-coEdition of Papyrus, the mysterious Jumps that are said to have appeared in Zev, the prospects of My own running as substitute and every other detail of the expressing event.
 During Fridays races at Newman ket, Ben Irish, owner Of Papyrus, was the only individual who discussed dispassionately the chances for vic tory of the British entry
 Apparently unswayea by his pro- found material interest ip the race, Irish talked like g. non -pertisan. He showed friends a cablegram received during the afternoon from Basil Jar wis, trainer of Papyrus, which read simply:
 'Papyrus well and has good sport ing chance.
 lIlSA put ulS OWA AhbSA Pt Nh Jarvis modest prophecy.
 You can tell from this message that Jarvis has distinct hopes of suc- cess" Irish commented.
 There are wads of Paryrus money here-the English champion became an odds-on favorite Friday-but there are exceedingly few takers.
 This sudden shift in favor of Papy- rus caught the hookmakers in Dad position. A lew weeks ago three to one against was obtaina ble.
 Now, with the English colt rul- ing favorite, the guady waistcoated boolzies are praying that 7ly Own be substituted for Zev. Under Eng fish betting rules thts would mean the cancellation of all beta and would create an even money situation, with Papyrus' packers predomlnating.
 The flash on the resn't Of the race is expected to reach London about g o'clock Saturday night. Electric bulletin poaris in Trafalgar square will flash the winner to the waiting crowds the newspapers will flood the streets with extras and restau- rants and theatres are making spe- cidI arrangements to receive news of the outcome.
 But in the face of all of this fever ish interest, ag least, irish, the tacl- turn. has been attending various races during the week, returning nightly to his farmsin Northampton shire, where there is nor even tele- phone. So far as can be learned irish has inade no special arrange ments thus for tc learn the result ot his three -year-old's performance at Belmont park.

Twice Shelby County got the ball over the goal line only to have it called back. The field was wet and the game was slowed up some on this account
