WHITING j NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS ] By PERCY H. WHITING. When the writer commented Rome days ago ou the credit able manner in which Vanderbilt teaitla were recruited ho made bis statements in the belief that Frank Wynne had been quiet ly but firmly eliminated from the line-up of the Commodores for the remainder of the season. It seems that- this belief was an error, lienee a little more along this line. Wynne happens to be a professional ball player and as such is not eligible to play on a S. I. A. A. team. This fact should be easy to demonstrate. Wynne was “cleared” when Vice-Chancellor Wiggins, act ing bn charges made by the writer in an article on this page, brought the matter to Vanderbilt’s attention. Evidently Mr. Wiggins did not carry his investigation far enough. Fur be it from mo to insinuate that the Vanderbilt manage ment believes that the man has played professional baseball. They arc not guilty of deception, but of a failure to inves tigate with sufficient care. This is very unfortunate for the good of amateur sport in the South. Vanderbilt has so long stood as an example of what can be done in athletics by methods which nre above reproach that when they play a professional the sport is hard hit. Sewanee, another college whose teams arc usually made up of amateur players and bona fide students, has gone pretty close to the bounds this year in playing Shipp. Here is another man who, although he also has been “clear ed,” has come in for a lot of unenviable notoriety. Maybe he is 0. K. under the strictest rulings of the 8. I. A. A. The unfortunate part is that^he has not cleared himself so as to finally quiet all criticism. The charges against him have cast a shadow of doubt over the purity of athletics in one college which is usually above sus picion. A FOOTBALL FACE How nthletic conditions are this year in the colleges nearer home the writer is not prepared to say. ■ If you talk with the Tech men they make veiled insinuations against the Georgia team. Georgia men on the other hand freely express their doubts of the amnteur standing of some members of the Atlanta squad. As far as the writer knows both were recruited in a manner which is above reproach and both nre undoubtedly made up of amateurs and bona fide students. If anybody has any evidence to the contrary against these colleges or any other in the S. I. A. A. ho will find the writer in his office between 7.30 and 12.30 n. m. anil in u receptive mood. There is neither pleasure nor profit in athletic muck-raking, but anything we can do in the cuuso of purifying amnteur athlet ics will be done. R. E. LEE AND STONE MT.

SOMETHING OF MERCER’S FOOTBALL TEAM The Meraer team, against which the Tech aggregation bucks Saturday, la far from being a strong football team. But It Is one of the pluckiest bunches which has done business In tho Houtlt this year, and the players and Coach Tarr deserve no end of cred. It for the showing Mercer has made.

Football Fatalities Fewer This Year Than Ever Before glnte. Mr. Tarr played football on the West ern University of Maryland and look a course of physical work at Yale -Uni versity. He Is an expert at baseball and football and has proved the right man for the difficult place he has had to nil. When Mr. Tarr started tho work of whipping together a football team at Mercer he found the task a mountaln- oas one. Not a man In the college had played before pn n football team. In fact, not a man had played even on a regularly organised prep school team. Rome of the men hail not even seen a football and none of them really knew uny football, theoretical nr otherwise. It. was with material of this kind that Couch Tarr has had to work 'this year, and he has tuf-ned out a football team whlcb. while It does not rank with Tech, Is at least good , enough to make It Interesting for most of the smaller colleges of the section. *' Here are the names of the men who are likely to-face Tech, their weights and the positions they will probably Play: Oglesbey, left end 135 pounds Moseley, left tackle I4r> pounds Samuels, left guard 155 pounds Adamson, center jso pounds Maccathern, right guard ...,I5S pounds Conner, quarter bock 130 pounds Mallary, left half 145 pounds Lofton, right half 140 pounds Shaw, fullback 160 pounds The line-up for today for Mercer will probably be: Melton and Olgesby, ends; Shaw and Scoggins, tackles; Rams and Congest, guards; Adamson, center; Sutton or Conner, quarter; Mallory and Dickey, halves, and Westbury, fullback. lech Expects to Win; So Did the Indians Chicago, 111., Nov. 24.—With noatter- Ing Thanksgiving Day guinea In vari ous parts of the country, the footbull season of lkOti practically cloned today. A review of the aeuann shows that the sport thin year bus claimed fewer than » dosen vlctltnn. These figures are con siderably below those of former years und go to prove pretty conclusively that while the new rules probably re sult In more minor Injuries, the number of fatalities Is greatly lessened. No fatality Is recorded uniting the players on tho big university and college foams. The deaths have been con fined iilmost entirely to the scholas tic ranks. The list of players to whom tho game whs fatal follows: John Cowell Kennedy, nineteen years , old, of Troy. N. Y.. captain of tho Law - reneevllle s« hool eleven, of Trenton, N.

The end came suddenly and painfully for Purdello, for, during a terrific scramble, In which Golfh was the ag- The most Important game In the South on Thanksgiving day Is that between Vanderbilt and Seivunee. To all Atlanta men who have seen both teams play It seems a eertaln- ty that Vanderbilt will win. The fact that Setvanee. could only make three touchdowns against Tech, two of which were very lucky, while Vanderbilt, on a muddy'field, ran up 37 points, seems to Indi cate that the Commodores are go ing to have the best of It. However, the "other side" of any question Is always of Interest, and the Sewanee side Is here given, us seen by The Georgian’s corre spondent. By C. hTpENICK. Sewanee, Tenn., Nov. 24.—That the Tigers expect to beat Vanderbilt sounds quite preposterous, but to those who have been watching closely the work of both teams for the last month this Is by no means an Impossibility. Sewanee^ defense has not been broken down once this season: and today she is about twice as strong In this department os ever before. Coach Quill has been hammering every available pound of flesh In the university against the line during the last week, and even now says that lie Is satisfied with Its defensive strength. ■ The Tiger backs, to those who have witnessed the last two games, compare favorably with those of Vanderbilt. The Commodores are probably stronger otv the offensive—the Tigers on the de fensive. "Bklnny" Shipp, however, circling an end, with Barrett and Markley running Interference, Is as formidable as Craig, with Blake, Manier and a big reputa tion In front of him. Vanderbilt has Rewanee beaten In the quarterback department. The Ti gers have two, Lyne and Elsele, both of whom arc fast, have good level heads, pass the ball well and are strong In the back field, but are, never, theless, outclassed by Costen, who Is older, heavier and a little better In every particular, except In backfleld tackling and handling punts. It Is certainly fair to say that the Sewanee ends are stronger than those of Vanderbilt. Bob Blake Is an old player and a good one, but no one would ever accuse him of brilliancy. He Is too heavy on his feet for an end, and Is slow. His younger brother, Vaughn, who holds down the other ex tremity of the Commodore line. Is the weakest spot In the gold and black’s fast and slow sizing up end , On the other hand, the Tic,., . . Lewis and Williams, can hath loo yards under 11 seconds, ar ,.

Scarborough, last year, captain and quarterback, has take, charge of the scrubs. ' * Coach Quill is taking great palna i. the training of the squad. The y a i, method Is to gradually develop tht men. not allow ing them to become stale right up to the time of their harden game. All the members of the eleven u present are In splendid physical trim but when they go Into the game with Vanderbilt they will have readied u* highest point of physical training. Comparative scores count far noth Ing. but when Sewanee bents the l'n|. verslty of Mississippi 24 to 0, with tin subs In the game, away from her grounds; after having traveled l.ys miles and played Tulane within the previous forty-eight hours, it goes t, show that she certainly cannot be verj much outclassed by Vanderbilt, win beat Mississippi 28 to 0 on her nvti grounds, with all her 'varsity playing. Taking Into consideration all then points, together with the fact that every ounce of that Indefinable but most potential element called "sij wanee Spirit" Is being manlfeated n present and .will be manifested to tht utmost on Thanksgiving day, there !i no reason In the world why the Ti. gers, at least, cannot hold the Com. modores down to an even score, ant while Sewanee always plays hard ball such Is' the desire to beat Vandy this year that every man wearing purpb that will trot out on Dudley field win know what Is expected of him, and win be prepared In the fullest degree u> or die. These are the reasons why those who "whoop 'em up for Sewanee'' feel they have a right to expect to we the "Royal Purple" triumph on Thank., giving day, as she has often done be. fore In the years gone by.
