Not since the late Walter Camp first established the All-America a idea in 18S9 with a team composed entirely of eastern players has the balance of power passed before the other side of the Alleghenies. Last year the east had six of the eleven positions on the first team compilation by The Associated Press, the middle west three and far west two.

Action of the southern conference today in amending its rule on postseason football to allow its members to participate in such events, if the organization's consent is given, was received by the local sports committee as indicative that a game in the future may be arranged between a southern conference eleven and some eastern or western contender.

CHUNN. In a grim battle the Tuskegee Tigers ground Ailanta university's Crimson Hurricane in the dust Saturday afternoon to the dirge of 14 to 0 at Spiller's filed. A crowd of 6,000 rabid spectators saw the Crimson Hurricane halted Saturday and of this number 3,000 were white eridiron fans. To Battle Wycoff Captain MctJlur is tip assistant instructor in equitation at the big infantry school. He is captain of the excellent student team of two years During last year he attended cavalry school at Fort Riley and can hold his own with officers of any branch in matters like iolo and riding.

He also is handicapped two goals under the National Polo association rules. Captain E. B. Whisner, playing at No. 4 has had quite some experience with polo and his value to the team rests with his ability mainly to play a wonderful combination with Major Smith, which has resulted in numerous goals for the team this year.

His fine back hand strokes have saved The personnel of' At professional football team which will make its rremiere here Sata against the independent team of Douglas Wycoff ff'is not entirely settiid, but advices received Saturday indicate that number of popular southern stars will oppose the terror of Tech when he who cheered the A. U. standards from the first whistle to the last gasp. The Crimson Hurricane was a hur Tough Season For Tech. The announcement of the Georgia Tech schedule for 1927 leaves much room for discussion.

Of one thing there is certainty, there will be fio rest for the Jackets in 1927. The substitution of North Carolina for Washington and Lee is hardly indicative that the Tornado will have a rest on that Saturday. The Carolinians always have a big fighting; team and should put up as great a battle as the Generals. The word which comes from I lorida that the southern conference schedule may be set back two weeks appears to be a good move, particularly if the Tech-Georgia scrap is set over until the last game of the season rather than where it is now. If this is done it will permit both teams to prepare so much longer for the game and it will serve as a great climax to the season in Georgia.

As the schedule is now arranged the Tech-Georgia game virtually ends interest in the rest of the season in so far as the followers of these two schools are concerned. Of course, the Thanksgiving game draws a large crowd, but the size is largely due to the fact that Thanksgiving is a holiday and there is nothing else on the program. As it is now the Georgia-Tech game is an anti-climax and is wrongly placed. The playing of the Georgia classic early in December would be Ideal from the standpoint of both teams and it should redound to the benefit of the spectators as well. It would serve to bolster interest until the final game and allow both teams to point for the game without the risk of going down in a later battle, as Georgia did this year against Alabama.

The matter of setting the season back two weeks seems to be founded on solid locic. In the north where snow is likely to adorn frozen uons ine muiefci' uo -y many goals for the infantry school, ricane in every sense of the word during the first quarter, which was chuck fuU of hard driving by the famed "Four Horsemen." Atlanta university completely outplayed the Tigers in the first quarter, but failed to nudge the ball over. Stevenson Halted. which will be played in Miami on the same date. The Oglethgrpe-Geneva game will prohably attract wide attention, for it will furnish ihe basis for a comparison so far as strength is concerned between the eastern eleven and the teams of the southland.

Both teams are coached by widely known mentors, and this, more than likely, will cause profound interest on the part of football authorities as well as the general sport loving public. The Petrels, three years ago, played Centenary college and thev were defeated, 12 to 0. "Bo" McMillan, all-American quarterback of a few years ago. was the Centenary coach at that time. Coach Jim Robertson, brother to the.

present Petrel coach, was the (glethorpe mentor then. And this, the second game between a McMillan-coached team and Oglethorpe, will find Coach Harry Robertson attempting to avenge the defeat handed his brother by the famous "Bo." Birds Hopeful. The Birds entertain hopes of win- alternates are wen quamieu io replace any of the regulars without the regulars being missed. Captain Burresa and Captain Forsythe have also had varied polo experience. 0 on the Tiger'a side is no evidence convict Atlanta's team of falling down on the job.

Never have eleven men fought harder or tried harder to get the heavy end of a score beside their name. McPherson was the outstanding wind disturbance in the Hurricane lineup. He was a veritable tornado by himself and harrassed the Tiger crowd with his marvelous broken-field and end running, which put the Hurricane in distance of scoring twice.
