When he goes after race track gambling he goes after some of the richest and most influential gamblers in Nfew York.

Class Teams Battle Hard But Neither Side Scores Spcclnl lo The Georgian. Emory College, Oxford, On.. Nov. 20. Decidedly the most exciting scene ever enacted on the Emory College gridiron waa wltneaaed yesterday In the senior- sophomore game. From the time of the klck-ofT It was a hard light between Emory's two best teams, but neither side succertled In scoring a point. The Anal score was 0 to 0. The present sophomore team Is the only team that has ever succeeded In keeping the present senior eleven from scoring. After the game the highly elated sophs paraded the streets of Ox. ford, crying the boost the seniors made In their 1906 relay message: "Hkldoo, relay! We ploy football!" Wade, Bird and Elliot were sophomore stars, while J. M. and W. A. Woodruff and Smith made excellent gains for the seniors. Yesterday's game between the Junior and freshman teams resulted In a score or 24 to 0 In favor of the juniors. Carl Smith did some sensational work by kicking goal tour times In succes sion. On account of the muddy field the freshmen almost Invariably rum bled the pigskin.

Only two more football da yg between the sporting page and the bleak mid-winter dreariness which stretches almost unbrok en from December 1 to “reporting season.” The New Orleans Item commented recently on the fact that a New Orleans semi-professional team nearly Secured a Cotton States League franchise. It will be a long flay before such a thing happens. The New Orlcnns territory belongs to the New Orleans team and the only way any other team could get in the city would be by playing out law baseball. And the Cotton States has trouble enough to wobble along and dodge yellow fever and debts without taking on a light with the National Association. Somo paper, with line but unconscious humor, has printed a note to the effect that Tcbeau is trying hard to expand the (Western League and make it better. “Sufferin’ snakes I” Tebcau’s efforts to make the American Association "better” have been one of the saddest sights of or ganized baseball—and about o a par with Charley Frank’s ef forts to “purify baseball,” and Muggsy MeGraw’s attempts to eliminate “rowdyism.” Please pardon us while we smile. From now until the day before the Clemson game gloom in wads may be expected to be the hand out to the football sharps who visit Tech. But the cripples will all be in the line-up o nthe day which made the turkey famous and what they’ll do to Clemson—well, we’ll talk that over after the game.

The new code, which etlrred up suc.h a vast amount of criticism last winter, and which, before the seaaon, most of the roaches united In condemning, has been tried and found Satisfactory, says the current Issue of Rldgway's Maga- xlne (Atlanta section). U'may be remembered that last fall the athletic tea-pot was stirred by such tempestuous disturbances because of football that It looked as though the game would be relegated by most re spectable colleges to the athletic down- and-out club, along with ping-pong, pugilism und a few others. It Is not necessary to recount the many attacks on the game—attempted actions by leg islatures forbidding It, Its abolition by Columbia, and other universities and u scorching through the press which It will long remember. A new rules committee was conse quently appointed and ordered to "re form" the game. What they did was, to put It gently, an "adequacy." Nature of Changes. Briefly, the changes which they de cided upon provided (1) that ten yards must be gained In three downs; (2) that after a kicked ball hit the ground everybody was "on side” and It be longed to the man who got It: (3) that one forward pass could be made during each play; (4) that when lined up the two teams must h» separated by a “neutral sene" equal to the length of the ball: (B) that hurdling be barred, and (6) that time could be taken out because of injuries only three time# in each half. Barring two or three games for each team, an entire season has been played under this revolutionary code. The press has given a vote of confidence to the new rules. The public has ex pressed Its favor by attending the games In greater number than evgr before. l!p to the present the coaches had not been heard from. To And out what they thought about the "new football" a list of eighteen questions was submit ted, to the most prominent coaches In the Routh. From the answers to the questions the following facts may be set down as the views of Southern coaches on football In the South under the new rules: What Coachn Think. The new rales have not materially BIRD SEASON Is often. *Sq is Old Felt Hat Seasim. Bussey will clean and shape you., ■Ike new. lessened the number of minor Injuries. It Is a question whether or not they have had any materlaj effect on the number of serious Injuries. They have assuredly made football faster and more open—probably 35 per cent more open. CLEMSON WINS FROM U. OF T. COACH M’GUGAN THINKS VANDY NIAY BEAT INDIANS Bpeclal to Tlie Georgian. Clemson College, H. C., Nov. 20.— Clemson football team defeated the University of Tennessee on a sloppy field 16 to 0. Neither team scored In the first half. Tennessee could not make the required distance at any time, and waa fre- forced to punt. The ba.l was l constantly In Tennessee's territory. most of the Couches protested that there was not much anyway. Rtrange to relute, the coaches fa vored the ten-yard rule, in u propor tion of about two to one. Most of them, however, voted In favoi-'of allow ing ten ynrds In four downs. With hurdly a dissenting vote the roaches gave their approval to the "on- ■Ide kick" rule and not a man raised his voice In protest against the for ward pass, which was the novelty most reviled before the season began. Only one coarh gave his opinion that It would be removed from the rode In future years. A practically unanimous vote waa given to the rule requiring a "neutral Rtrange to velate, however, the rule forbidding "hurdling" did not »ult a very large and very .prominent minor ity. To the question. “Which change In the rules do you consider the most vital?" the experts were almost equally divided between the "on-slqe kick" and the “ten-yards advance! The question of which of the new rules was the most desirable brought out a tie between the “forward pass" and the "on-side kick,” with the "ten- yard” rule, the rules against brutality and the “time-out” rule coming In fora scattering vote. There was a trifle more unanimity of opinion about which rule among the new ones was the least desirable and the "ten-yard,” rate came In for the vote of lack -of confidence, though the "forward pass." "on-slde kick” and other rules received some unfavorable notice. Four times In the first half Clemson was within striking distance, only to lose the ball on fumbles or downs.

Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 20.—Coach MrGugln, of the Vanderbilt team, has the fotlqwlng to say concerning the Vanderbtlt-Indlan game on Thursday: "Nobody In the world has any right to expect Vanderbilt to beat the Car lisle Indians. They have undoubtedly the most remarkable team In their his tory. Michigan beat us 10 to 4, Penn sylvania beat Michigan 17 to 0 and the Indluns beat Pennsylvania 24 to 6. That would make It look like there were about 40 points between the Indians and Vanderbilt. “To show that It was no accident when the Indians beat Pennaylvanla they turned round and defeated Rwarthmore, who had previously de feated Pennsylvania. Harvard; after almost all of sixty long minutes of play, managed to score five points against the Indians on seme very doubtful playing and Harvard look* to be bet ter than Yale and Princeton to date. Here Is another little bit of dope: "Out of all the Western colleges tbi year Minnesota Is the only one to hi« a team near her standard of prevl* sears. They were fortunate at Mil nesota In having most of their old a perienced men back, so that the #« game rule, the three-year rule, the w training-table rule, the no-prellminarj training rale, and the mnnj- othr things that the conference tried to f to footbnll In the West, didn't affect I so-much. Minnesota has a big bun of rams, powerful and fast, who pro ably average 190 pounds, yet they »< unable to do anything against the l» dlans Saturday ut all, while the Indian were gutherlng In 17. J "Another thing, this reputed lw pound average of the Indians loo# mighty off-color to me. They are im ported to carry 39 bucka on their squiC and If they only average 165 pounds « Indians must be shrinking up- I l«*M against these Indians once there wasn't hardly a buck I who weighed as little as - .

HARVARD MEN ALL IN TRIM Billy Smith After “Phenom But Hasn’t Landed Him Ye CELEBRATION FOR "PENNSY” Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 20.—Having at last a victory to celebrate. Penn sylvania celebrated with the entire cur riculum of the university. The stu dents cut all lectures and proceeded to make merry. They assembled In front of the training house and railed upon each man who figured In the victory over Michigan to participate. Tomorrow Pennsylvania will get se rious again, and every effort will he inode to get the team In first-class trim for the annual Thanksgiving contest with Cornell. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. • 20.—The opening practice of the last week for the Harvard football team was very encouraging, as It showed that all the squad will be on hand' for the Yale game. Keersberg will-be at-work-tomorrow with his wrenched knee all right, and Orr. whom foot bothered him. will also be In the practice tomorrow. Dorr, who has been out of the game with a severe cold, will be In the game. Every play which Harvard will de pend upon for ground gain was gone through. The signals for all of them are new and many of them have not been sprung in public. This means that Reid has so far been able to keep with in the team what he will spring at New Haven next Bnturday. Billy Rmlth Is just bubbling over with 'good story” these days. This Is no "Jim Fox surprise,” either. Judging, too, by the width of his smile and the slse of hla expectations, he Is just on the point of signing some "phenom.” Up to-yqt. however, the story has not been'deemed by the said B. Smith to be sufficiently ripe for the plucking. Rut be on the lookout for something large and juicy. - Paul Cobb, the brother of Cyrus Cobb, the Georgia boy who played such great baseball with Detroit laat season, has written to Billy Rmlth. asking W| try.
