, finished their conference allotment of the collegiate pastime. Heading the list is Captain Flats" Lawrence, whose magnificent performance for four years hardly missing a play for the entire time crowns him as king of Auburn pivot men besides being one of the best captains to play under the Orange and Blue standards. Lawrence has proven himself master of the center play. With exactness and precision his passing is faultless and his assignment in backing up the line on the defense has been in safe hands and few gains from opposing backs have been registered as coming his way. The Auburn captain has bare ly missed all-Southern honors for the past two years.
 Grisham And Sitz Go
 The absence of "Nosy" Grisham and "Swede" Sitz will leave gaping holes in the Tiger line to be filled next year, while Sitz has had the misfortune to be injured some during his grid career. He has made very dependable tackle. Grisham's conduct at tackle has been all. that could be asked for and has also ranged high in all-Southern selections. His work has been espe- cially pleasing on the defense. On the end ''Hardboy" Pruitt will be missing next year and his absence will be keen ly felt.
 In the backfield Harrison is finish ing his career. Harrison's speed and excellent ability at the passing job has made his work important in the Tiger backfield. "JoJo," as he is familiarly known, has won the unique distinction of being a three letter man, having won the coveted "A" in football, baseball and basketball. Others on the squad to finish their four years, but were not regulars, include Reese at fullback and Lutz at center.
 Mass Meeting Held
 Tuesday night the final mass meet ing was held in Langdon hall and final arrangements were completed for the march into Georgia. The team will leave early Wednesday morning for At lanta and will go through thir places Wednesday afternoon in the final prac- tice session of the year. Those mak- ing the trip iD addition to Student Manager Jackson and the coaches are Captain Lawrence, Brice, McFadden, Long, Self, Johnson, McCulley, Gris- ham, Hawkins, Sitz, English, Huckabe, Pruitt, .Ollinger. Spinks, Market, Bas- kin, Petersen, Crane, Hunnicutt, Allen, Lutz, Greene, Harrison, Williams, Reese, Salter, Hagood, Turner and Robinson.

PHILLIPS PLANS
 BIG COMEBACK

Phillips plays it's last game of the season Saturday afternoon at Redwood Field against the Columbus High school, Georgia Blue Birds, from Columbus Georgia. The Georgia team is highly rated. having won many good games during the season. While Phil lips has had the worst season in many moons yet the Crimsons are fight ing bunch.
 The Crimson backs are all in a pretty bad way just now from minor injuries, such as bruises and charley horses, but long before the encounter Saturday they will be in fit form. No man on the team is badly hurt with the one exception of Stuts Smith, Phillips big line man. He is suffering with a badly injured hand which was
 lrt in the Duval game, but this wont keep him out of the game by darn site. Pill Green, Shipley, Red Guin. Jaffe and the others all ready for the fray. The regular practice work is going on over at Delta View, and Coach Stillwell has given his charges several new formations to work on.

PLANS TO
 THROW ACHILLES
Greek Title Means NOth- ing To Local
 Boy

The worlds Greek wrestling cham pionship may be title that means something big to somebody, but Tom Lacey, the local welterweight wrestling star, is not impressed to a very marked degree by it, in fact he is very skeptical of its import. So as he trains daily for his bout with Jack Achilles, the Greek welterweight champion, he is confident that he will be able to overcome the in vader. The match is slated for Friday night at 8 80 o'clock at the Greek club, upstairs at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street.
 The Greek grappler is training at the Central Y. M. c. A. and has sent out a challenge to all corners. The local boy is doing his daily two dozen at the Athletic club, while his admirers watch his preparation for his first match with a top-notch grappler.
 Achilles Has Record
 Achilles canes to Birmingham with a record of having taken most all of the best boys in his class and giving them walloping. He believes he can throw the local boy, but is expecting a hard tussle. The bout will be to a finish and there will be no non-decision af- fair to it.
 In addition to the main bout two good preliminaries have been arranged. Kid Lott is slated to wrestle Pappas, an- other Greek wrestler, who is out for Achilles crown and is working for a bout with the winner of the main event in case he disposes of Lott. The local boy is tough, however, and will give Pappas plenty of action.
 The other preliminary will be between Spark Plug and Bogie Saab, two local wrestlers, and these two have staged many hard battles in the resin ring which indicates that hard contest is in store when they meet on the mat.

lBy Associated PreSsl

ATLANTA, Nov 25.-With the best saved for the last in many cases on the southern football card, Thanksgiv- ing brings contests that are elevated from the category of games to the classic of institutions. Many annual games played Thursday are so long es- tablished that the mind of the football fan runneth not to the contrary, in this generation at least.
 This year the curtain goes down in the southern conference in a greater blaze of glory than ever before for in the game at Birmingham between Geor- gia and Alabama, the mythical cham pionship may be decided. Georgia goes into the game with a record of five conference victories, unmarred by de- feats or draws, while Alabama has won four conference contests and escaped a tie. Each team has lost a game out side the conference, Georgia to Yale. z to 6, and Alabama to Centre, 17 to 0. Only two other conference teams are un- defeated and but one of these has a chance to acquire five victories.
 Three Continue To Play
 Three conference teams will not be able to pack up the balls after the Thanksgiving tilts. Georgia will leave Birmingham for Danville, Ky, to play Centre Saturday and Washington and Lee is booked for an engagement with Florida in Jacksonville, Fla, December 6. The Generals and Alligators are undefeated, Washington and Lee boast ing three victories and tie and Flor ida's standing showing a victory and tie. Washington and Lee plays North Carolina State in Raleigh Thursday, while. Floridas opponent comes from the Missouri valley conference, making the long jump from Des Moines to Gainesville for the day.
 Geogia Tech and Auburn play in At lanta in a game that makes or breaks the season for the two teams. Regard less of previous triumphs or reverses this game looms large in the calendar of the Yellow Jackets and Plainsmen. The same situation prevails in other southern games.
 North Carolina vs. Virginia
 The North Carolina Virginia game at Charlottesville is a classic per SC and would be so if neither team had won a

The Brownies of Jones Valley and the Mountaineers of Shades-C -Cahaba, two local elevens which have had con siderable rivalry upon the field of ath- letic endeavor, will stage their annual gridiron combat at Redwood field We'd nesday afternoon, and the two combi- nations will make a greAt effort to cli- max tn cir season with a victory.
 Both teams have hit the rocks on several occasions and are anxious for comeback which will add prestige to their records and make a successful season of it.
 The rivalry between the two teams started last year because Doc Newton, coach of the Brownies, and Sumter Clarke, then coaching Shades Cahaba, were teammates back in college. They decided to pull a fracas at Redwood, and the two elevens will duplicate We'd nesday afternoon.
 Show Flashes of Form
 Both will have strong aggregations, having plenty of weight. Both the Brownies and Mountaineers have shown flashes of form during the season which shows their real ability to be of the first order.
 The two teams have both played four prep combines, with the comparison of scores in each event favoring the clan of Doc Newton. Hence, it might be supposed that the Brownies are ''doped" to win Wednesday afternoon.
 Jones Valley beat University High 1926, while the university clan defeated Shades-Cahaba 70. Shelby beat the Valley eleven 12-O and Cahaba 32-O. Then Simpson won from the Brownies 7-6 and from the Mountaineers 19-0. Bessemer whipped Doc Newton's clan 100 and Aubrey, Miller's cohorts 13-O. In each event, Jones Valley had shade in the comparison.
 The Valley aggregation will depend upon Allgood, Gardner and Brill chief ly, while Cornelius is the big star of the Mountain combine. Cornelius is one of the best linesmen ill the district

She let's herself in for so much

nun. and never lift her eyes to an
other man.
She has had a long letter from
Walter Burke. and he is coming
back to marry her. OF course Ruth
knows Walter better than /. but
