SPORTS. Alumni a t Fault in INTENSE DESIRE TO WIN BRINGS BAD SITUATIONS Undergraduates Do Not Take Results So Serio Case of Georgia Tech usly. and Georgia, Who Are to Renew Relations, Offers a Moral. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. W YORK, September 18.—N in intercollegiate foot alummni. In this quarter is to which takes no heed of the price of Leit alone, undergraduates, who arise ot a few of the complications that ball have their source among the be found that intense desire to win, gridiron glory. are at the age of great idealism, are pretty well content to go out and cheer for their team and then, after victory—or defeat—to forget about i the way of vouth, All of which points the University of Geor heart right now. Pent-up emotions on the part of the graduates and other adherents of these two institutions caused the severance of relations between them some years ago. The break between these natural rivals was a blow to Southern foot ball and the irony has been that, as between the two bodies of undergraduates, there never was any feeling other than that asso- ciated with spirited honest rivalry This season an effort will be made to repair the break The Yellow. Jackets and the Bull Dogs will meet at Grant Field at Atlanta on Novem- 'ber 14, in what will probably prove | to be the big game of the South, ir- respective of the record which either eleven will bring up to this struggle. Will Be Chivalrous. There is not the slightest question that the contest will be waged chival- rously. It will be a fiercely played game in which quarter will neither be asked nor given. But it will be 1 t and turn to other things. Such is moral which the alumni of Georgia Tech and | in and about Atlanta should begin to take to | clean, scrupulously clean, as becomes | young men who represent the flower of American life, the college-bred { man } More than one student of both uni | versities remarked to the writer when { he was in the South last Fall that if {any trouble arises out of this game [ it will be the alumni who cause {t and participate in it. It may be submitted that anything that might occur to cause another break between Georgia and Georgia Tech would be a calamity and might well affect the sport far and wide. | "'A very serious responsibility, there- | fore, attaches to the graduates of the two seats of learning. It might, in- deed, be well were they to go into pre- liminary training, schooling their | minds to the broader interests of foot | ball in their section, cultivating a tol- erance which in defeat will provide | them with a saving philosophy and in victory will fill them with an honest satisfaction in which gloating will | have no part.

RIVALS BEING KEPT BUSY IN PREPPING FOR BATTLE Both Putting in Hard Licks to Make Weight and to Stay in Trim—Challenger Considered by Wise Ones to Have an Even Chance. BY FAIR PLA EW YORK, September 18—Concerning the Walker-Shade bout on Monday night, in New York, it is noticeable that very little in the way of pre-battle statements has been issued from either camp. This because both men are putting in the hardest licks of their young lives to make weight and be in the pink of condition when the bell sends them into action.
