BEATS Will the Bear or Petrel Survive? BY GEORGE CONGDON. Only the intense rivalry that lives between Oglethorpe and Mercer, even a it lives between Tech nd Georgia, makes today's battle at Spiller field, wherein the Petrels and Bears do battle, a classic of S.

I. A. A. history. It will be a hard game, for both teams, but today the dope bucket is tilting in favor of the Petrels, undefeated in the association.

All of this is introductory to the declaration that the Mercer Bears this season have acted like a bunch of moth-eaten bruins about as tame as to many bear rugs. That is.he Bears have been that way, with the exception of one Saturday, that one two weeks ago, when the Mercer outfit spanked Furman. rated high in football circles this season. (THE Oi.0 MAH HiMSCi" Just Four Games Billed in Conference Today; Bears, Petrels Feature in South BY JULIAN GRIFFIN. Four Southern conference teams have steadfastly refused as yet to lower, their colors in defeat, and all four seem determined to travel right on to the curtain games of Thanksgiving with the same condition existing, which will, leave a problem of mathematics confronting the committee of 40 sporting editors picked by Champ Pickens to pick, the southern champs.

Alabama and North Carolina, comprising exactly one-half of the select quartet, will not play today. Tulane and Washington and Lee, though in action, will come through with a clean slate unless tremendous up condition. All injuries which clouded Petrel hopes early in the week have cleared up. so that Oglethorpe presents a lineup that is practically its st rongest. NEWNAN HI, 19 TOO TL S.

B. passed another G. I. A. AI milepost yesterday afternoon at Her-m'ance fields by winning from Xew-Inan High school by a score of 19-to-O.

This game was the seventh G. I. A. A. contest to be played by the Bluebirds and they are now confronted by the strong Monroe A.

M. team next Saturday. The Bluebirds did not show their usual drive and fight in the first half of yesterday's mix-np, scoring only one first down which came on the first play, and scoring no touchdowns. They came back in the second half, however, and ran roughshod over the visitors, scoring their three touchdowns. Dickie Butler made them all.

In the third quarter two touchdowns were scored, the final touchdown coming in the last period. Butler made the first touchdown after a series of long bucks, most of them by Ferguson, fullback, bad placed the ball in scoring position. The second touchdown came when Martin passed over the goal line to Butler. Butler added the final figure to the score when another series of bucks by Ferguson had put the ball in a scoring iMjsitioti. The work of Butler and Ferguson was outstanding during the entire game.

Both of these backs did most of the ball carrying, and made a good job of it. Butler made the longest run of the day when he tore off around end for 25 yards. Murray and Timmons played fine defensive games in the line for the Bluebirds, Murray playing center, and Timmons tackle, For the visitors, Nixon, 190-poundickle, played best, while "Bo" Barron, at right half, did most of the gaining for Newnan.

tJP) Centre defeated Georgetown in a onesided football game here today, 34 to 6, coming back strong in the last three periods after being clearly outplayed in the first. The feature of the game was Rabenstein's 62-yard run for a touchdown, the first of the game and the longest run a Centre man had made this season. Georgetown had things its own way in the opening period, making three first downs to none for the Colonels, but did not score, it was about the only bit of brilliancy shown by Georgetown during the game. Their threat did not last long, however, and Centre scored two touchdowns in the next period, one on Rabenstein's ruo anil Bimilr" as the result of a Georgetown fumble.

(Special.) With hope revived as a result of their unexpected victory over Furman two weeks ago the Mercer Bears have completed Their final preparations for the annual Oglethorpe struggle and believe they have a chance to win. It was a revamped and reorganized team that so decisively defeated Furman. With two weeks' rest and light drill interspersed with scrimmages Coach Kobinson's Orange and Black warriors carry a dangerous threat into the Petrels backyard tomorrow, l.ate season changes in the line are strengthening the forward defense, while the shifting of Jimmie Glover to quarter and the placing of Roberts at full has filled the team with pep. With every man in shape Coach Robinson has reworked his offense and it is expected the Bears will resort to a iassing game if necessary, although, with Smith in the best of condition. Atlantans will have their first chance to see one of the flashiest backs in the south.

Smith will be called to do most of the punting and passing as well as bear the brunt of the running attack. Jimmy Glover, the new quar ter, has spirit, and the morale of the team more than any quarter used this year. Skelton and Roberts will start the game with the aforementioned. The line strength of the Bears has offensively and defensively improved by shifts. Butts has almost cinched right end.

He is a sure tackier and is a hard man to remove on end runs. Parks has played an important part in recent games by being on the receiving end. EH McDonald, the old reliable, will still be at tackle. Slim Dean, an S. I.

A. A. guard 'last year, has been moved back to his old place and Pierce put at tackle. Lancaster and P. Xeul will be called on for guard.

Tulane is mnch stronger this year and should today by an even more de cisive margin. Washington and Lee has a game with North Carolina State. Last year the score was 34 to 0 in favor of the Generals. Truth, which the story books say is stranger than fiction, may come to light this afternoon with one of the favorites beaten, but such is quite unlikely. Four Conference Games.

Only four southern conference games are billed for this afternoon, the other conference members prilong-ing the finale until the traditional Thanksgiving meetings. The other conference games today besides the pair mentioned above, bring together Florida and the Mississippi Aggies in one game and Mississippi' and Southwestern in the other. Florida and Mississippi were last year's winners in these games. While Tech is idle in Atlanta, the Oglethorpe Petrels and Mercer Bears will engage" in a contest that will probably be the most colorful affair of the south. Both are S.

A. members and Oglethorpe's chances for the nounce that he will immediately leave the University of Illinois, ending his academic career as well as his intercollegiate activities, and launch upon the business of capitalizing upon the most remarkable and spectacular football record in in history. As Grange is awaiting tomorrow's battle he is harangued on one side by those who have guided his course through his intercollegiate career, and on the other by those who seek to have him take immediate advantage of the opportunity of making himself independently wealthy by engaging in professional football, moving pictures and other business enterprises.

Urged to Finish Course. Grange's close friends are urging him to refuse to play professional football, which they say is held out as a lure and a snare to him and are counselling with him to finish his course at Illinois. George Huff, director of athletics at Illinois, said tonight that he had not given up hopes that Grange would decide to remain out of professional games for the present, at least. Robert Zuppke, coach of the Illini, as well as President Kinsley, of the university, have Grange's word he has not signed a contract with C. C.

Pyle, the Champaign, 111., moving picture owner, to act as his manager in business ventures, including football. Zuppke is of the same opinion as Huff as to Grange's plans. "I do not owai Grange," Zuppke said, "and have no control over him, except that he may decide to take my advice. He has had several offers made him, with big fat salaries, but if he engages in professional sports, these business opportunities will not be held open to him." Grange Dazed by Crowd. When Grange arrived here this afternoon He appeared to he dazed by the pushing, shoving crowd that wanted to get a glimpse of him, and by newspaper men who beseiged him with questions.

With a half fighting look in his eyes, Grange stood still mumbling only to indicate that he wished he were away from it all. "I am tired of all this notoriety," he said, "I have had an awful week of it. Almost got kicked ont of school, and everything. This excitement and everything is more than I can stand." Said he did not think he would have any announcement to make after the closing game. "I do not know what I'm going to do," he said.

"Do you plan to leave school after this game';" he was asked. "I have not decided that either. Although Grange will leave Columbus tomorrow night he declined to say whether he was going to Chicago as persistent reports say he will or return to Champaign. Reports persisted Grange would go to Chicago and complete negotiations with the Chicago Bears, a professional team playing in the Cubs park and a member of the National Football league. Going Duck Hunting.

To reports that he may make his professional debut on Thanksgiving day. Grange Smilingly replied that he had an engagement to go duck hunting with a trainer of the Illinois team. idea of the financial reward being held out to Grange for playing professional football, was revealed here today by Clyde Tuttle, treasurer of the Columbus Tigers, who indicated that Grange could earn from $10,000 to $20,000 for every appearance. Tuttle said that the club-to-club contract the Bears and the Tigers had been revised on the assumption Grange would be an attraction to the Chicago team. This new contract provides that Grange would receive 10 per cent of the first $5,000 which came into the gate, 20 per cent of the next S5.000 and 40 per cent of all over $10,000.

Figured on a basis of a S50.000 gate, which is conservative for Chicago, Grange's share would be 17,500 for this single game.

Despite all the rumors that have floated around the country concerning "Red" Grange's activities after Saturday's game at Columbus, it is known to be a fact that the Illinois halfback will play professional football Thanksgiving day at Chicago with the Chicago Bears. He has signed no contract and no terms have been mentioned.

On this Chicago professional team are seven Illinois football players. They are Joe and Dutch Sternamann, Walquist, Hallas, McMillen, Mullen and Scott. These players are interested in Grange through their affiliations with their alma mater. Several of them know of the jealousy and alleged meth ods which were used by the teammates of Harley a few seasons ago to so injure Harley that he ultimately had to quit the game. The Bears have assured Grange that he will not, suffer from any professional jealousy and that he will get a chance to learn the pro game with the right kind of protection.

Loyal to Graduates. Grange feels the right way about it, too, it is said. He knows that he is younger and has not reached the physical development that the average pro- fessional Pyer has and is therefore loyal to this group of men who are going to take care ot him the right way. He has long since privately intimated to the boys who are on the team that when he was through college he would play with them. "Red" has been very careful to explain to them that they talk no financial terms until after he finishes his college ca-! reer.

There is no contract, but merely the word of a great football player to a bunch of his friends who are going to see that he gets a chance. CALLAHAN CLAIMS GRANGE FOR FLORIDA. New York, November 20. Florida has won out in the mad scramble for "Red" Grange's services, according to Tim Callahan, former Yale captain and all-American guard, who broke the news Friday afternoon at the Yale club. "Grange not only is going to play professional football in Florida this winter, but is to captain a team of his own choosing," said Tim, with conviction.

In fact, he added, Florida apparently has scooped the pool of football stars, and will have besides "Red" Grange's team, an aggregation of Harvard and Yale players, the former "four horsemen" of Notre Dame and a team known as the Princeton collegians, j- Callahan himself will organize a team to play in six games in Florida after Christmas. One of these games will be against "Red" Grange's team on New Year's day. he said. Mike May Play for Tim. Tim has been selling real estate at Coral Gables and is associated with interests which are putting up the money to attract the greatest stars of the gridiron game to Florida this winter.

While at Yale he was rated as one of the best linesmen that ever wore the Blue. His brother, Mike captained Princeton and played opposite Tim the year the latter led the Bulldog, and a great family scrap it was. Mike may be drafted to play on Tim's "pro" team, although the former Princeton star is busily engaged in the oil business in the west. Callahan said he knew of no contract signed by Grange as yet, but was positive of his information that the Illinois star would turn professional after Saturday's game with Ohio State. "Red" will organize a team composed of Earl Britton, star fullback of the Illini, and other players from the western conference, Tim asserted.

"Instead of playing for the 'Chicago Bears, he will take away some of their best players and add them to Ids team." Columbus, Ohio, November 20. (JO Harold "Red" Grange, the galloping ghost of the gridiron, passed the threshold of two important, events tonight. Tomorrow this red head, heralded as the football star of the generation, brings to a conclusion his amazing intercollegiate football career.

WHITE. Tech High and Greenville High; from South Carolina, each scored a touchdown in the first quarter and then struggled the three remaining quarters to a 6-to-6 tie Friday afternoon on Henry Grady field, in a well played and hard fought prep football game. Tech High's sweeping and running attack which has been working so well this season was stopped cold Friday afternoon, partly due to a field which was covered six inches in sand and also due to the alertness of the visiting ends and tackles. Greenville's main threat lay in a forward pass attack, which also was slowed up due to the sand underfoot, but the visitors proved that their aerial attack, which carried them to glory in South Carolina during the past games, was a threat at all times and was responsible for a 30-yard gain Friday afternoon and paved the way a few seconds later for the touchdown that tied the game. Tech High received the kickoff and failed to gain and punted against a strong wind to its own 35-yard line.

Greenville then lost the ball on downs and Tech High started its drive to a touchdown on its own 35-yard line, i Cook broke through left tackle for a 27-yard sprint and Waugh circled left i end for a beautifu? 38-yard sprint and a touchdown. Waugh failed to kick goal. It was the only time and place in the game that the fleetfooted Waugh had any chance to show his speed on firm ground. Greenville Comes Back. Greenville was not to be outdone and promptly fought back for a touchdown.

Tech High kicked off and Anthony, of Greenville, returned the ball 20 yards on a beautiful run. Greenville then enne-hf the Tecli TTip-h team napping and punted more than 60 yards over the Smithie goal line. lech High was forced to punt and Greenville received the ball in the center of the field. A 30-yard forward pass. MeMannaway to Cass, placed the ball on the Smithie 20-yard line.

A beautiful off tackle buck by Cass netted 10 yards and then Captain Mc-Mannaway carried the ball the remaining 10 yards to a tonchown. Roth teams fought for an opening in the second quarter, but is developed into a punting duel. Late in the third quarter Tech High carried the ball to the visitors' 10-yard line, only to lose it on downs. Again in the final quarter. Tech High had the ball within striking distance, but lacked the punch to carry it across.

The work of Davis at end, Maddox at guard and Cook and Waugh was exceptionally good for Tech High. Brainy Work Shown. Captain MeMannaway's work was by far the best for the visitors. He was one of the smartest prep field gen The "'The Shoe tha keeps its shape" 3 A The much-discussed question: To bag, or not to bag Every fellow decides for himself whether the Oxford effect in trousers is a swish job or a lot of static.
