Georgia Exonerated Yet Critics See Slippage by SIAC
The SIAC executive committee, after two days in Atlanta, exonerated Georgia from major charges but left open questions. It suspended Cox and Rossiter, barred Coach Whitney from southern football, and urged further inquiry into Captain Smith’s role in playing Cox in the Alabama game. Tech bore itself nobly, accepting suspension on unfounded charges while seeking full investigation and clearing its name, and Georgia awaits lingering scrutiny amid calls for a broader house cleaning.
