Robertson and hick” Burke., both of whom have | been on the hospital list for some time, will be in the line-up at the start. Rob- ertson, considered by many experts as one of the best players that ever donned | a foot ball uniform, cannot do himself justice, it was said, because, of many jrecent injuries. Reports from the Georgia squad are that ‘the Bulldogs are in_prime condi- tion. The Georgia team has not lost a game this season, except the 10-to-7 defeat by Harvard. although its sched- ule included such opponcnts as Auburn, Vanderbilt and Virginia. The record of the northern eleven is less impressive. The Dartmouth players have been in Atlanta since Monday Grant Field and getting accustomed to the new climatic conditions. Members of the Dartmouth squad were the guests last night at a banquet given here in their honor by the Ath- letic_Association of the University of Georgia. ~Tonight they will be honor Kguests at a dance. —_— e WANT NEALE AS COACH QF CINCINNATI ELEVEN CINC ATI, Ohio, November 26.— Boyd Chambers, athletic director of the University of Cincinnati, will not coach the foot ball eleven of the in- stitution next year.

The figures ap- parently uphold the contention of foot ball experts that proper train- ing and physical condition greatly minimize the danger of the game, for only one of the players killed was a member of a college eleven. a semi-pro player, one a member of a naval team and the remainder were high school or sandlot players, who did not receive the intensified. train- ing and physical inspections given in colleges.

The main reason for the coast league’s objectionto the draft, he said, was that the Gircuit aspired to become a major league on the same plans as the National and American and did not want to part with the stars it d veloped. ber 26.—The Pa- Eels Buys Sioux City Club.
