FOOTBALL SQUAD
 GETS NEW CHANCE
Georgia Coach Has Not Dis.
 qualified Whole Team

Athens, Ga. Nov. LR - All of the more than Is members of the University of Georgia football squad, suspended yesterday for vio- lating training rules, will be given a chance to reinstate themselves if they want it. George c. Wood ruff, head coach. said today.
 Denying earlier statements at- tributed 10 him that none of the men would play during the re- mainder of the season, Woodruff explained that he would restore to good standing any of them who express a willingness to return to the team and prove their loyalty.
 A number of the suspended players were said to have made overtures 10 the coach late last night for reinstatement and word was spread around the campus to- day that they would report for practice this afternoon.
 No list of the men ordered to turn in their moleskin suits was made public, but reports at the university placed the number at between IS and IS.
 First reports of this action were termed by Woodruff as grossly in- accurate" and not only as misquot- ing him but giving an erroneous list of the men discharged, which worked an injustice on at least one and perhaps several players"
 The coach was high in his praise of the players for their frankness in confessing violations of training rules.
 T did not have to institute any system of espionage" he said. q merely asked that every man who had broken training at any time this season step out and admit 1t. I can say to the credit of every one of them that they had the courage to take the course of men and gen. tlemen,"
