TIE prep season has almost come to U) end. but the work accomplished by each eleven the stars developed by the year's work will be the subject of Wscusslon In the different schools, composing the prep league for months to coma All In all the season was a success and the end of the football year 1804 leaves prep athletes a much better state with a far more promising future, than it has ever lookedforward to before. This year practically saw the beginning "of prop athletics In the state of Georgia, for though prep schools have ex toted before and prep games have been played, all attempts at organisation had proved futile and all hopes of realy accomplishing someflHng worth while were left to the future. Coaches of Teams.

The credit for the successful season is due largely to the good work of the men who have been placed in charge of the in the different schools. Without good coaches" football in prep schools Is not only undesirable but is also dangerous, and when the coaches are not present it is rather doubtful If the authorities of a school should allow their boys to engage In the sport. Football has always been a ratner rought sport from the standpoint of those who indulge In golf and ping pong and other sports of a Iilce nature. It develops different muscles, it brings Into play other qualities. It gives a wider field for improvement 16 offered In other fields.

At the same, time it must be acknowledged it Is a rougher sport, and that it needs to be faught to boys by careful of the University of Georgia. Boys' High ecnool. of Atlanta, Professor Parks, of Auburn. Donald Eraser, of Decatur, Sandy. Beaver, of the University of Georgia.

Ae University school at Stone Mountain had as its coach for the season a man chosen by Coach Helsman to lead the 1903 all Southern team.

Hope Sadler, ot Clemson, end and virtual quarterback, was head coach, while he was assisted by Frank Anderson, of the University of Georgia, who played while at Georgia in the back field. Sadler has developed a wonderful team from his mountain boys and with the assistance of Griffin and King had a good chance for the championship of the state when the question of the eligibility of these two men practically disqualified his team from all hopes to the championship.

On the showing of the eeaeon the Bamesvllle eleven, the one representing Gordon institute, to entitled to the Championship of the state, while the Georgia Military academy is entitled tn the championship of Atlanta It Is unfortunate that the university eohool eleven was unable to secure games with the members of the association, but this team was practically blacklisted by the refusal of the association to allow its teams to play Stone Mountain, sci long as Griffin and King remained on ths eleven. What might have been the result nt a meeting between the university school and the Gordon institute is unknown.

Bamesvllle was strong and so was university school. But as the university school was eliminated from the cham withstanding, greater than that of the. Tech men. Even If It were not this will be counterbalanced by the fact that Cumberland will be distinctly "on ele mentally and pnysicawy lor tne contest, while It Is doubtful if Tech can be. This Is the one Only game of note Cumberland has had to work for; she must show the football world tn this one struggle what she can in order to vindicate her position in the 8.

I. A. A. Tech, on the other band, we may with reasons fear, has already shot her bott. She was on 'edge for the Georgia game and she played the game for all there was tn it, but Cumberland Is not a particular rival of Tech's, she comes from afar off.

She has through no fault of her own beaten nobody and hence sbe offers no incentive to Tech for fierce desperate work. Tech's energy and nerve supply has been distributed ever nine games already. Cumberland over one. The psychology of football something rarely understood or oy anybody save the studied and experienced athletic trainer, but it is of profoundest Importance In such a contest. Besides Cumberland has already proven her met tle by defeating aiarys ruie to while Tennessee could beat Maryville 17 to 0.

and everybody remembers that Tech barely beat Tennessee by 2 0. But let no one expect to see a complete runover tor Cumberland, nor anything from Tech but hart, gritty, determined play, and If Cumberland does win she will stll 'be lad when the struggle over. Tech's chances are by no means minus quantities, but It must be admitted Cumberland presents a slightly better front Just new. for she is the same Cumberland she was last rear and it is a great pity for her that she cannot arrange games wita other teams besides Tech.

It Is impossible to see bow this can end any other way than a decisive victory for Auburn.

The university school at Stone Moon tain baa stated that unless BarneevlUe played them they would claim the cham plonshlp of the state in prep The necessity tor such a claim arose from a peculiar circumstance. By some means Griffin, of the University of Georgia, was persuaded to come to Stone fountain and take a course In that school, and Incidentally to piay on the team, immediately mere waa a nwwi the other schools. There also arose a howl on account of the fact that Kind who la a student helper In the Stone Mountain school gymnasium, played on the team. At a meeting or tne association resolutions were passed ruling off both these men. There Is little, doubt that the two men were in prin ciple disqualified from playing, but there was nothing In the prtp constitution to prevent them irom laying, ana me fact that they were disqualified was con sldered an undeserved slap at Stone Mountain and an attempt to weaken their team.

There Is no doubt that the new con stitution of the prep association will provide for such an emergency, in. such a way that college players and instructors in gymnasiums will be ruled Ineligible to play with prep teams. THANKSGIVING DAY GAMES THEIR PROBABLE RESULTS rhoro by Gregg. Coach Hdsman and Assistant Coach Counselman. of the Tech, cussing the Thanksgiving Day Coach Heisman Says Tech, Auburn, Vanderbilt, C.

A. Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania and West Point Should Win on Form. By J. W. HEISMAN, Coach Georgia School of Technology.

A brief discussion of the chances of the various southern college teams to win their respective Thanksgiving Day games should prove of interest at this period of the season. Cumberland v. Tech. Of first Importance to Atlantans generally is, of eourse, the forthcoming struggle between Cumberland and Tech. Unfortunately Cumberland has played very few games so far this season and her prowess Is not therefore eo well understood as it waa last year.

Yet she is In my opinion, every whit as strong as last year. With six of her old stars back and finished players like Steel and Wakefield among her new recruits and an average weight admitted by Cumberland to come up to 1 72 pounds, with the same excellent coach they had last year the chances era I should say somewhat favor of Cumberland. Some will argue that as she has played few she cannot navd the experience Tech acquired. But tne inaivrauai oxpo of the Cumberland men is, not can score. Tou will hear every day that no reliance Is to be placed in com I must beg to differ.

paratl' When taken in connection with a con sideration of the circumstances under I which the games compared were played," I protest that scores tell a great though, to the spread of knowl of the game and the arrangement I of schedules with reference to only one I certain objective game In a season, there Is. I admit, less dependence to be placed on comparative scores than was once the case. But, without argument, the only consolation that can be offered Georgia think. that she will be lucky to hold Auburn down to four touchdowns. Geor grit and ability to pull herself together at the last minute will, how hold It down to that figure, I Sewanee v.

Vanderbilt. Well, before the Nashviiis Vanderbilt geme. I would have said it's still very doubtful, but I guess that 81 to 0 it. especially, it It is a dry dav, for that will enable Vandy to turn loose per end running game. Tet, I miss a If Sewanee doesn't find some meth od of, at least, partially checking those end runs.

Should it prove a wet day, Phillips should gain as much as any man of the Commodores, and Scarborough's kicks will often be resorted to and may result in more than one fumbled ball by Vandy, especially when the ball le slick and the purple ends may do the rest. However, Vandy seems too heavy, too fast, too willing, and will likely win by two touchdowns to nothing. But the mountaineers will make them Clemson v. N. C.

A. and M. This ft ame takes place at Raleigh, which is bad for Clemson. Let me tell North Carolina Agricultural and Me chanical college piays better ball than she Is given credit for, Last year Clemson won the game by 24 to 0, but had It not been tor clever trick plays and a bewildering attack generally, I believe that score would have been 6 to 0. As was.

agricultural ana Mechanical car rled the ball to Clemson's 4 yard Una and only a fumble here prevented her from scoring. This year, with Clemson considerably weaker on offense both in running and kicking, and Agricultural and Mechanical stronger than last year. both offensively and defensively, weighing as mucn as or more tnan Clemson and playing in her own back yard. 1 sus pect Agricultural and Mechanical will ao me out it won oe a runaway match, for Clemson fights as hard ea ever the fight of a clean cut gentleman. and that's one of the hardest things la tne worid to seat.

Alabama i Alabama's offense la the better of the two. Tennessee's defense Is the better of the two. Which wins? Well. It depends on how much stronger In these aepartmenta tne one a ewer the other. Comparatrva scores rather favor Tennes see, but, on the whole, I fancy fMsVarffctb RrVarilculiL A good defense may stop some touchdowns, but it doesn't make touchdowns, and hence it cant' win games.

Alabama's offense must be good or it could never have made headway against Auburn, as it appearn to have done, and certainly Tennessee's defense is not as good as that, of Auburn. I do not dcubt but Alabama will win. Virginia V. North Carolina. Few people outside of direct friends and 'relatives" of these Institutions are much Interested in the outcome of this contest for the reason that their ellai bClty rules are so much wider and easier than those of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association that it Is felt thefr tarma are by no means "home products," and hence deserve neither praise or blame, whether they win or lose.

Virginia should win. Auburn v. Vaderbllt. If thk tame Is played posslbHiUes are that either may win, but what probabilities there ere eeem bo indicate that Auburn would oown.

BRAINS OF FOOTBALL STARS TAKE MANY FUNNY HURDLES CHICAGO. November players, according to Jere Deiani, tralnsr of Northwestern university eleven, are subject to an ailment slmW the softening of the brain, which leads not only to the making of peculiar statements, but causes strange actions which some times are amusing.

The exact cause for the trouble, Trainer Delaney said, he is unable to fathom. He declared, however, that it results more from the long continued physical and nervous strain to which the men are sub jected during the months of rigid train ing which tneny are forced to undergo than from the blows, kicks and bumps they receive on their skulls during games. It Is known." said Delaney. "that every player of the game fights his games over and over In his dreams, but only by the men who are In closest touch with the players is it recognlied that they are given to constant day dreaming, during which they make stsange motions as If struggling With an Imaginary op to Delaney the athletes are given to almost childish methods of play When at rest. An Instance related by the trainer was of a man who during more than an hour pored over a map of the United States, drawing the lines with his index finger and imagining he was traveling over the country which hie finger crossed.
