Five or seven sets Of games are

Of which are for fancy dancing.
Some of the old Indians have SOU

buffalos, eagles and peacocks. A
group of singers with the assist ance
of a buckskin drum furnish the
music.
These ancient beliefs, costumes,

important place in the lives of the
individual members today or 10
the tribe as a whole as they did
formerly Many of the games and
the dances are still held but only
for entertainment and social en-

have permanent homes, cultivate
their farms, take an active part
in religious and political life of the
town, state; and nation. They
make helpful law-abiding citizens.
All of their children within school
age are attending government or
public schools. They are receiving
academic, religious and industrial
training. They are learning to be
useful loyal citizns also. They are
active members of the American

DIXIE MARKING TIME
FOR TULANE GEORGIA
Leading Elevens Meet Two Weeks
Hence-Bulldogs Showed Class
Against Florida.
BY DAN z. McGUGIN,
Foot Ball Coach, Vanderbilt University.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, November 1.-THE
Southern Conference, so far as leader
ship Is concerned, is marking time for
the Tulane-Georgia game, two weeks
hence.
In the meantime games Of great i'm
portance to other teams are being play
ed. One of these was the Alabama
Kentucky game, the former winning by
a safety.
Oddly enough, S. M. U. won from
Texas by the same score, made in ex-
actly the same way, by blocked kick
Dehlnd the goal line, in each case re-
covered by the defensive team. Georgia
showed caliber out of which champions
are made by scoring heavily on Florida.
She put real effort into this game be-
cause she had not scored on Florida
In the two preceding years.
vanderbilt showed signs of a well
organized attack against Georgia Tech,
fine old-time spirit of rivalry. 1t is
the 1irst time this year, because of its
nard schedule, that Vanderbilt has had
an opportunity to develop an offense in
game. We all used to find develop
ment games vastly useful, but few
teams have them now. This is why
schedule pickers have such an advan-
tage.
While Georgia Tech, in Neblett, Bar
rot and a few others, has foot ball
players of real ability, experience.
weight and general possibilities, she has
the poorest material I have seen in a
Leading college in many years.
