WASHINGTON AND LEE CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP Games Last Saturday Practi cally Eliminated Rivals Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 16.-When Capt. Bonner of Auburn, fell on a Mississippi A. and M. fumble behind the Aggies' goal line Sat urday and won the game 7 to 0, the last of the old S. I. A. A. undefeated football teams was pulled from its pinnacle and a finishing touch was put on the thorough scrambling of cham pionship claims that began with the upsets of a week ago. As a result, Washington and Lee, by its defeat of Georgia Tech a week ago and its victory over South Carolina Saturday, is putting forth strong claims for Dixie honors, notwithstanding the con tention that the Generals' sched ule does not include games with a sufficient number of represen tative Southern elevens. Georgia Tech's smashing vic tory over Georgetown on Grant field Saturday was easily the surprise of the week. The Yel low Jackets, employing Coach Heisman's great shift, were out to blot out the unpleasant mern ory of the defeat by Washing ton and Lee a wee kago and they battered the Blue and Gray sev erely throughout the contest. To wards the end the defense of the Hill-toppers crumbled complete ly and the Yellowjackets ran rough shod up and down the field. The climax was reached in the last period, when, after Tech had plunged through the Georgetown line for two touch downs, Scarborough, a substi tute ran 5 yards for the last score. Vanderbilt disposed of Vir ginia, as had been forecast, but with greater difficulty than ex pected, the Old Dominion team displaying much better brand of football than in previous games this year. Kuyk, a backfield player, was especially strong for Virginia, ploughing through the Commodore line for substantial gains whenever called upon. Mc Guigan's team appartently has found itself after a very differ-' ent showing in the early games of the year. Auburn and Tech, Alabama and Mississippi A. and M., Van derbilt and Sewanee, Tennessee and Kentucky, are among the games yet to be played, and the contest between the Plainsmen and the Yellow Jackets will be watched as affording the best opportunity for further upsets. In other games Saturday. Ten IN Y.M.C.A. CIRCLES Dr. J. A. Brunson, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Sumter made an address before the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last Wednesday night. He took for his subject "Chris ianity" and treateed it very creditably. He stressed the fact that Christ was truly the son of God and went into a dis cussion of the subject of his divinity. Dr. Brunson is well known thruout the entire state as one of the leaders in his denomina tion. He was attending the meeeting of the Baptist State' Convention last week and was secured to speak for us in the place of Dr. Quick, who. was unable to come.
