everything which ha* had the temerity to
tackle the game. Already the brag teams
of Kentucky. Mlsaiaalppl. Alabama and
Texas hare had defeat smeared all
them and the peaky Commodore* nr
■lifted to In* the beat In the Mouth,
by those who are moat deeply Interested
lit developing teams good enough to take
the Commodore*' measure.
Already. In four games played under the
■cor*-reducing “tom-yard rule." Vanderbilt
has piled up 1M points to 0. and they have
displayed the greatest offensive and de
fensive work on record In the Mouth.
If the Nashville men were going against
any team In flu* world but Michigan or one
of the Eastern "Itlg Four" they would un
doubtedly bare a fair chance for victory.

The Vanderbilt team la already speeding
Mlcbfganward. and Maturday afternoon the
fun begin*. a
The game at Ann Arbor la the only Mnutli-
against-fHr-middle-West contest this year,
and one of the few Intersect Iona I games of
the season. In consequence It la being
watched with especial Interest all over the
country.
Hart’s ■ Game, Sura!
To Atlantans the Tech-Atthuru game la
the one of primary Importance. And it
will !»e worth a couple of dollars of any
man's money—though It doesn't coat that
much.
On flic dope basis. Auburn rather linn It
over Tech.
Here are the figures by which compart
son a may l»e made;
Auburu 0. Maryville 0.
Tech 6, Maryville 6.
Tech o. Mrwanee
Auburn f*. Mcwntiec to.
I slug these figures for the purpose of
making comparisons. if 1* evident that Au
burn lias it n shade over Tech up to yet.
Bui lbcn It Is no certainty that Tech la
going to lose.
On the basis' of the Maryville games,
Tech and Auburn are alraut even. The Me-
trance games have to lie taken with some
explanation.
The Mew a nee team cnuic to Atlanta scared
to desith of the llelsniaii machine. The pur
ple players went on the Held i«* do or die,
and they pls.vi-d their very hardest. One
of their touchdowns catue from a straight
football. The other two Were more or less,
the result of luck accidents.
When (lie Mcwniicc players went to An-j
burn, however, they tbought that they were j
up against a cinch and when they found !
I heir mistake ll was pretty late In tin* day. j
and the train wafc badly demoralised. It Is [
a known fact that an ovcr-coujhfetit team j
Is hsinib spped a touchdown or two, and j
It Is obvious that Me wane* did uot plsy to j
her true form against Auburn.
11 Ip mi t venturing the prediction that
Is going to In* lien ten. the assertion
is risked that the teams are ationt equal In
strength and that the victory will nmloubt-
ll.v go to the team which plays nearest to
s true form on Saturday. As Con.-li
llelsmsn will have Ids players In flue iv«/
tlon for that game and ns the Yellow .lack
ets have shown their ability to take ndvan
tage of the new rules, mid Imcauac they
have In IIrowii a kicker who Is likely
di^aluiost anything sensational In a pinch.
It Is certain that the local players will
tuake n good showing.
Last of tho “Big Three.”
The Dsvldsoti-riemaon game also prom
ise* to Is* something of a "loo-loo."
These team* have both met and defeated
Georgia. Davidson did It hy n score of 15
to 0. and flcmson by a score of 6 to 0. Yet
It Is hard to 1»elleve that Davidson I* two
touchdowns better than Cleniaoii. David

This game will he watched with especial
interest by local men. as It will give a good
line on tho Thanksgiving Day game In At-

Harvard Has Some New Plays
For Her Game With the Elis
| The Harvard football team has three
more games before they'will meet Yale,
and In those three games they should
show a still more open play. The four
weeks before the game with Yale .will
probably be spent behind the fence In
developing plays to use/>n the sons of
Ell. Yale will meet West Point next
Saturday. and that game will give the
supporters of both colleges a chance to
compare the teams.

Fresh Dope From the Fall Fanning Mill
4% case of Importance In 111** baseball,
world was finally vdecided the other day
when the SniUnuii Baseball Commission
refused Hu* request of the New York Na
tionals to |dny nn exhibition game at
Elisabeth. N. J. The Newark I'lub of the
Eastern League objected to linviug the

that .the Giants were Invading tin* terri

Just .now Hie game Is short on capable
managers, says The Cincinnati Inquirer.
The major leagues have gone after the most
su.-resslid of the Illinois (Ids fall in pref
erence to trying out some of their own
reliable men. Success In Hie minors doe*
not mean that a manager will revolution
ise tin* game and-make a winner out of
joor tlm!>er. Infiut, most minor league

go into major leagues. Just as the young
pla>'ers do. ms tin* conditions are alto
gether different. Most of the successful"
minor league managers have won out hy
their ability to Inirmw or make deals for
players not wanted In the big leagues.
After taking up Hu* reins in fust company,
the manager must then go out nnd develop
Ills own men, and not expect help from
any one.
Stallings told why
it with the Bison*
this season. Mr. Stallings wrote .lonea n
letter Informing 1dm that lie must report

NO DENIAL FROM JIM FOX
Jimmy Fox has risen to remark that too much publicity hus been
given to the rumor that he Is to be married about Christmas time and thus
furnish the “surprise” he promised his Atlanta friends.
Below will he found Ids letter to Jlllly Smith, manager of the Atlanta
team.
A careful reading of It does not bring out any details of the rumor
and until It stands corrected we shall have to believe the worst. Here Is
the letter:
“Cordova, N. ., October 31, 1906.
“Dear Friend—What In the d— did you go and put that bunch of
