JACKETS TO BE
 IN GOOD SHAPE
Absence Of Merkle And Reeves Not Worrying Tech

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 1.-The Yel- low Jackets of Georgia Tech will be in the best condition of the 1922 season next Saturday when they meet Van derbilt, despite the fact that Gus Merkle, end, and Bob Reeves, halfback, will probably not be in the game, said Coach Alexander today.
 Cliff King, whose work at end against l.. s. U. last Saturday brought him to the front, is continuing to show his ability and will be counted upon to perform valiantly against the Commo- dores, the Tech coach said.
 eve are not taking any chance with scrimmage this week." Coach Alexander said. "The boys are coming around to where they're in good shape and we'll just hold to the light work with plenty of signal running. The only scrimmage the first team will get be- tween now and the end of the season will be Just after the Vanderbilt game and in preparation foH Auburn on Thanksgiving"
 Saturday is homecoming day for the "Old Grads" at Tech.

Stuffy Steuart Leads World As Base Thief

Batting has declined from the high peaks reached in baseball several years ago, as the records of hitter for the 1924 season indicate, but runners still seem able to get around the paths about as well with fewer hits.
 This maintenance of run getting may be of the reputed Host art" of stealing bases. That is a conclusion reached after a study of the seasons playing averages of a number of the more im- portant leagues throughout the country.
 It might be noted, incidentally, that the game of sacrifice also has been play ed more than in seasons past.
 The game then is returning to the ''normalcy" of a decade ago.
 Complete but not official averages compiled to date for number of leagues have been selected to prove the argu- ment that revival of base stealing is a feature of last seasons play.
 In the brief table below are shown the leading run getters and the leading base stealers of the leagues listed. In one getting but one of the leagues se- lected shows less than 100 runs made by the leading scorer, and that league, the Piedmont, played a short season and the average of runs per game was rela- lively high.
 In base stealing five of the leagues listed had a thieving expert with a rec ord of above 50 thefts, and the Nation al leagues leader was but one below that number.
 Here is the table showing the leading run getter and the leading base stealeI in list of leagues for which complete averages of the season have been com.

PANTHER CUBS TRAIL ! HOWARD p TOO
Bancroft And Company Take Advantage Of t Southern Mistakes At First Of Battle

 Passes Almost Score
 In the same quarter Bradford hurled a long pass which a Panther back juggled into Lavies' hands and he ran 20 yards for a touchdown. However, the pass went as incomplete after the first Panther Cub had juggled the ball and the play was called back. On the last play of the game Allen again failed to perform his duty as an end and missed pass thrown directly into his hands behind Towards goal line. The passing game of the Panthers in the last few minutes of the game was very successful and threatened to bring forth counter but the biggest chance was lost on the fumbled pass behind the goal line. Gravlee, Fulbright and Bradford were hurling the oval down the field into the hands of wait ing backs and ends.
 The inability of the flashy Panther
  due largely to Red" English, How ard end. This rat played a great game at the flank position. He was behind the line getting his man, stopping them on the line of scrimmage and follow ing the ball like hound. He recovered the tumble which enabled Howart to score its first goal and was in prac- tically every play. He was the out Iof, x11o >f kL. Brown and Smith played good ball at tackles.
 Of course Bancroft was the whole was concerned.
 Panther Satellites
 For the Panthers Childs, Beck and Walker were the offensive stars. Walk CT made the prettiest runs of the day for the Panthers in returning punts and kick-offs while Childs plowed through the Howard line like steam roller. Beck's off tackle runs were good four, five and six yards.
 In the line Captain Bowden and Williamson played good ball. Lazenby played good game at center, though playing with heavily bandaged hand, In penalties the Panthers drew five 5-yard setbacks, three of them near the end of the game while they were driving for the Howard goal, while Howard was penalized twice for 15 yards and twice for yards.
 The game closed the season for the mingham-Southerp Rats, but the Howard Freshmen will meet the strong Wills-Taylor Academy team next Fri day afternoon at Berry Field.

PREPARE
 FOR GEORGIA GO
Auburn Will Enter Game With Dope Against
 Them Saturday

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 11.-(Special.) With two adverse decisions in the en- counters with Vanderbilt and Tulane ringing in their ears the Tigers again set out Monday afternoon to make ready for their next scheduled bout which is slated with the University of Georgia Bulldogs on next Saturday at Driving Park in Columbus, Ga., at ? p. m.
 The coaches indicated today that a change of tactics would be in evidence OH Drake field from that of last week. Light scrimmage sessions and signal drill were resorted to last week in the preparation for the Tulane go, but it is expected that the Orange and Blue var sity will get taste of real honest-to- goodness scrimmaging against the fresh- men and scrub elevens before Saturday rolls around.
 Coach Pitts in outlining the week S program intimated that every effort would be made this week to eliminate the rough spots from the Auburn back field that stood out in their last game and tended to minimize the effectiveness of the Tiger defense in the aerial game This move has probably been brought to the forefront by the experiences in the last games. In both the Vandy and Tulane games it was a long forward pass that paved the way for the enemy counters. The aerial attack has been responsible for two of the four touch downs scored against Auburn this sea son, the other two being charged to fumbles.
 With odds varying from two to three touchdowns against the Plainsmen in the Georgia clash the Tigers must go strong in chalking every opening and crevice in their defensive armour. With the Auburn line already tried and seasoned, and with weeks work given to the defense the Georgians will, no doubt, find the going somewhat difficult
 Flashes of considerable power was noticeable in the Auburn offensive Hast Saturday against Tulane, but lack of systematic drive, varied attack and concerted efforts, coupled with the alert ness of the visitors from New Orleans probably spelled the doom of the scrap ping Tigers.
 Only two injuries of any consequence resulted from the Cramton bowl affair. Turner and Market were both left at the gym Monday to nurse bum joints sustained in the recent fracas.

SCHLAIFER MAY
 GET SUSPENSION

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 1.-The Minnesota State Boxing commission planned today to call a meeting to question Morrie Schlaifer, of Omaha, who fouled Jock Malone, St. Paul mid dleweight, in the third round of their scheduled ten round bout here last night.
 In the meantime the commission seized Schlaifer's share of the purse, pending the investigation.
 Malone sent Schlaifer to the floor with a hard right to the jaw in the third round. The Omaha boxer arose dazed and hit Malone low. The referee offered the decision to Jock but the latter declined it and continued his at tack on Schlaifer. A moment later Schlaifer again hit low and Malone sank to the canvas. The referee award ed the fight to Malone who required medical attention before he could leave the ring.
