Recent Earthquake Shocks
at Santa Barbara, Cal.

Brickwork has just gone through
the acid test and comes out with
laurels that must certainly increase
the favor OF this type Of construc-
ton in America.
The lesson OF the earthquake in
Santa Barbara is that good, honest

severe tremor without damage.
Early reports from Santa Barbara
were misleading and naturally 30,
because 1t appeared that many
brick buildings had been wrecked.
Perhaps no disaster has been
more thoroughly and carefully in
vestigated by experts than has
that at Santa Barbara, and from
these Investigations there comes
unanimously this lesson. Good con-
struction OF practically every kind
withstood the shock. Inferior con-
struction, regardless Of the mate
rails used, is unsuited to earth.
quake zones. In the very heart OF
the business section Of Santa Bar
bara, where the greatest damage
was done, there stands today solid
brick wall structures that are
wholly unchanged.
The brick industry in the future
will put special emphasis on these
points: ~ Cross walls tied or
bonded thoroughly to the main
walls. ca Proper ties and anchors
at floor and roof lines. 90 The
use OF strong mortar (D Braces

Reports Of the current month

The contest could easily develop
into one of traditional flavor, but Nir-
GINA seems to be looking toward
Maryland for this and, of course, has
a fine tradition with North Carolina
and Washington and Lee. However.
there would be little difficulty about
a Georgia Virginia game were 1t not
that the Bull Dogs want the Orange
and Blue to come to Athens again.
Looking behind the scenes, one may
suspect that the reason Georgia wants
this is not because of any selfish pride
or laziness, but because Georgia has
engaged to go to Yale the week after
Or the week before-the Saturday
that she can give to Virginia and
naturally is averse to subjecting her
players to two journeys in successive
weeks. But that, of course. is Geor-
gia's problem and Virginia cannot do
anything about it.
So far as traditional games go Geor
gia is going to be beautifully fixed this
year and next, and presumably in sue
ceeding years, with the Georgia Tech
game in Atlanta.
The amount of interest which this
game, set for November IA next, is
arousing throughout Georgia IS really
stupendous. Grant Field at Atlanta
is already sold out. which means that
forty-odd thousand spectators-the
largest throng that has ever witnessed
a foot ball game in the South-will
surround the gridiron.
A game like this will be worth
score of intersectional games against
whatever shining opponents. and, in
fact, the fostering of the traditional
idea is one Of the plainest duties that
confront members of the Southern
Conference.
The Alabama Georgia Tech game
can easily become a classic. Having
won now for two successive years
Alabama is likely to feel herself in a
position to request, if not demand, that
Tech come to birmingham next year
to meet the Tuscaloosa outfit.
What Tech would do in event of
Alabama taking such stand-to
which, of course, in view of her
strength and prestige, she is clearly
entitled-remains to be seen. Techs
assets lie in the fact that Atlanta is
her college home, and that she has a
large stadium in a collegiate environ
ment, whereas Alabama would not be
able to hold a game of this impor-
lance in Tuscaloosa, but would have
to stage 1t in the Birmingham base
ball park, where about 10000 specta-
tors may be accommodated.

Tech had the advantage during
most OF the first quarter, but after
Roberts had counted for Central the
tide Of battle changed, and the home

Failing to make Roadway through the
line, Tech attempted to gain by using
the long pass after the intermissfon,
but only a small percentage OF Jets
losses found their mark.
George Roberts, halfback. scored for
the Blue and White near the close Of
the first period when he skirted right

carried the ball across the goal line to
place his team In the lead. He also
added the extra point with a place
ment kick.
Morgan LOTUS took the ball over

session after Van Meter had blocked

LOTUS scooped up the leather and
had a clear field in which to make the
run.
Van Meters work at tackle and
Roberts running and kicking stood
out as the best exhibitions of the

Today's drill closes Army's stiff
workouts for the Yale struggle at
New Haven. Light workouts tomor
row and Friday will end the teams
preparation for the game, Yale plays
being used by the scrubs against the
unbeaten varsity team.
Capt. Johnny Joss, lost to Yale dur
ing a great portion of the season on
account of injuries, expects to be in
the line against Army, although he
was unable to take part in the scrim-
mage yesterday. Foote and Noble
stopped the backfeld gaps caused by
injuries to Cutler and Kline in the
Brown game.
Dartmouth Has Chance.
Dartmouth, high-scoring team Of
the East and undefeated d year ago,
looks upon the Brown game largely
as an opportunity to surpass the 90
victory of Pennsylvania. With prac-
ticaly the same team which crushed
Harvard a week ago, the big green
eleven, realizing that the mythical
championship of the East probably
will be decided this year on compare
tive scores, is bent on piling up an
impressive total Of points against the
Providence team.
Indications are that Columbia will
be able to send its strongest team
against unbeaten Cornell at the Polo
Grounds.
Princeton players were in fine fettle
today and Coach Roper expects his
team to come back against Swarth-
more. Harvard. after giving her
regulars three days of rest from the
Dartmouth battle. will spend the rest
Of the week in vigorous preparation
