Tech Will Take No Chances
■ Team Is Working Hard For Saturday's Game
On Mercer’s Weak Condition
WON THE CAME WITH A HOME RUN
/S
Ttch Flat!, Oct 17.—A light workout
held Monday afternoon. Several
-he regulars were slightly bruised
.fteV Saturday’s battle and It was
fiouirht advisable not to scrimmage
5?™ The substitutes were lined up
isalnst the scrubs, however, and they
rent at It hammer and tongs for about
f.'tetn minutes.
The scrub team at Tech Is unusually
r(a!i this year. This Is due to the
>'arming lack of material In the fresh
en class. Not mods than four good
r itlrall turn hare come out from this
n< urgent freshman class that sver
entered Tech.' ,
The varsity this year Is made up en
tirely of old men. Of the eleven regu
lars that started the game Saturday,
four were seniors, three Juniors and
four sophomores. Every one of these
men except one has played at least one
year on the scrub team.
Tech can boost this year of a team
that Is strictly a team of real stu
dents, not one and two-year men who
come to college only to play football.
Tech, plays Mercer next Saturday,
and while no uneasiness Is felt as to
the outcome, It will probably be a
hard-fought and well-played game.

Something Good
About Bird Dogs ;
By 8AMUEL 0. CAMP, In Country
Ufa in America,
In spite of the feet that In a very
few Instances perfection In the hunting
dog Is nearly reached, yet the Ideal
pointer or setter Is a pretty scarce
article; and It Is a much better plan.
If you have a reasonably good looking
and good hunting dog. to learn hla
every Individual characteristic In ths
Add than to be constantly In the mar
ket for something better—frequently
you go farther and fare considerably
worse. If you know exactly what your
dog does under any given circum
stances, whan dees np to the birds,
when the birds hava flushed wild, when
'.railing a runner, a«e„ this very know)
edge on your part will offset to a great
degree any failure of performance or
Held mistakes on the part or the dog.
Every pointer or setter has hla own
way of going acorn hla work, and It Is
hardly possible for one to know In ad
vance, If unacquainted with the dog,
Jutt whet he will do, and what his va-
-lous positions may mean when he Is
working on birds.
Constant companionship In the field,
together with Intelligent observation of
the actions of tho dog, will eventually
result In a knowledge of what the char
acteristic motions of the dog* mean.
Lack of this knowledge spells leek of
succese.ln game-getting. I remember
one season when, thru various circum
stances, we hunted behind a different
dog almost every day out, tnd tho re
sults were far from enviable and, at
timet, undignified to a degree.
It le not hard work to learn about
your dog. Study of the actions of thu
hunting dog In the Held Is Inherently
Interesting ss well sa Imperative for
success. We sll know the character
istic attitude of ths dog when on a
staunch point, when It Is now or pos
sibly never for the man behind the dog.
But It le the actions of the dog when,
drawing up on the birds, whan trail
ing a running bird, and In situations of
like nature, which need study. Gen
erally speaking there arc two classes of
hunting dogs as regards trailing birds
—the alow dog and the fait one. Of
these, perhaps, the slew dog le the one
with which acquaintance Is most need
ed. A dog which trails a bird slowly
I and carefully will sometimes mitlead
' the hunter who does not know the dog’s
n'ays Into thinking that he Is very
close to the game when. In fact, ths
bird may be fifty yards sway.
Especially Is familiarity with the dog
needed In ruffed grouse shooting since
grouse, at least half the time, will not
alt for the dog but will run thru the
oruah leaving s long end tortuous trail.
As n means of closer acquaintance
■with the field action of your hunting
dog the camera may be used effective
ly. A series of photographs allowing
the dog when working on birds le not
nly Interesting to look at but forms
e record which may be studied st will
with a view to learning how the do-
.isndles himself under various flelo
conditions. And this Is the only way
to get pictures that show the quality of
eagerness which every photograph of a
nuatlng dog should possess.

New York, Oct. 17.—“Ever are Mich
igan play football?" asked the man
who had Just come back from the West
"Well, you ought to see that crowd
they’ve got at Ann Arbor. Just left
that place, and saw 'em there. Wunt
to hear about 'em?"
Upon being asnured by hla armchair
neighbors nf the hotel lobby that they
did "want to hear about 'em," be passed
cigars and began.
"I first got on to that fellow Toat'a

the squad and 1 sat next to him. I'd
hate to have to feed that crowd. But
there was something else that Im
pressed me. I missed the salt and

"’Awfully sorry, but you can’t have

" ‘Watch,’ he said. ’The salt Is about
to receive a forward pass from tho
sugar bowl. However, take the Wor
cestershire sauce that was laid out In
the last scrimmage. That will do you
until Yost sends In the vinegar bottle
to r^pJucfi the salt, so that a goal can
be kicked.'
"Can you heat it that Yo*t has got
'em eating football?”
The angle of the cigars Indicated In
terest.
"How's the material out there?" came
from a voice that used to call signals
for Harvard.
"Great!" was the answer. "Best In
years, my nephew tells me. They ought
to sweep the West like Yost’s old
teams used to do. The sqund will not
he particularly strong In players who
have won their letters, but It’s thr- new
stuff! They're many and they're good.
"Last year Yost used 119 formations.
, During the summer he thought of 557
more. It looks as tho this year's eleven
would be the Ideal one to operate the
Yost system of football, with a lot- of
good kickers, a strong line, some merit
who can pass the ball far and accu
rately nnd a wealth of speed. While ■
there will be no one man so large as
Uenbrook, the team as a whole proba
bly will average several pounds morg
to the man than that of last fall.
All Same Size.
"One thing that probably will Im
press everybody who seep the Michigan
eleven this fall Is that the men will
appear to he nil about the same slse.
Instead of a guard or two 6 feet 6
Inches tall and a quarterback about 5
feet flat, with a difference In weight of
some 100 pounds, there will be eleven
men whoso height hardly will vary five
Inches and whose variation from 176
pounds In weight will not be more than
about 25 pounds. Present Indications
point to an eleven that will averggs
about 178 or so.
"With all the speed that the team t
ought to have, Yost will be able to use
a lot of his own special plays. Teams
that he can’t outrun he can outwit, and
if he finds any that can both travel and
think as fast as the Michigan bunch, he
ought to he able to beat It down by
strength. There Is bound to be n lot of
open football, kicking, forward passing
and the like, but at tho same time, with
the sort of a line that Is shaping Itself,
•Michigan by no means will be confined
to the fancy stunts. The quick open
ing play ought to be made to order for
such nn array of forwards as those ndw
working for Jobs.”
"You certainly have them down rath
er pat." commented the other listener,
late of Princeton.
“My nephew, you tee, explained ev
erything." was the smiling answer as ho
took leave of them.
Nephew—rot!" suddenly exclaimed
the Harvard man. "I saw that back of)
his seven years ago racing down Kerry
field, Ann Arbor, with three Chicago
barks In pursuit. Can't think of his
name to save me.’*
OLDFIELD'S GOSSIP
(Copyright. 1911, bjr Barn,, Oldfleld.)
The Khlrmount perk rare had only
about half as many entries this year ns
started last Tall In the classic. But
tho shortage of entries wns caused by
the elimination of two classes of car*
which never enhanced tho Interest In
or value of the race from the specta
tors’ and manufacturers’ standpoint.
True It Is that the race was "knocked"
In many quarters by the politicians of
the sport who saw no chance to par
ticipate tn the profits and who wanted
to aw the race fall. Hut It Is my opin
ion that the Philadelphia race will con
tinue to he run lonx after other road
events are abandoned for lack or police
protection.
burden of exiiense Is too great (or tie
Industry to bear when the returns uro
calculated, when a big lot of race meet,
and road races are permitted In ono
season. My Idea for next season’s pro
gram le along the lines of opening up
the season with the Elgin events In
June, Just two months earlier thun In
the past. Follow the Chlengo Motor
Vi great rare with the Fairmot
rare about Labor day Instead of
month later than that date us prevails
now. Let the Grand Prise and Ha
vannah cup eventi follow next with
three days between the two races, dur
ing the ■•tt,r part of October. Sunt i
Monica (Los Angeles) would be far
better for the sport end trade with tho
Thanksgiving date, with the Los An
geles to Phoenix desert race, which,
by the wuy. Is supported only by the
local dealers In Lon Angeles, being run
the last of October. The Panama-
Padflc race which Is run In San Fran
cisco and which will be liberally boom
ed each year until the 1915 exposition
Is opened, should be nwarded a Wash
ington’s birthday date.
There will doubtless be s few big
track and speedway meets which wilt
huve to receive the attention of tho
racing team managers and the manu
facturers, and with five big road races
this Is linn .-t all tho racing, that ran
be looked after by cither-tne public
ity men or the drivers and mechanics
so that real results cun be obtained to
balance the tremendous cost.
It will bo noticed that 1 huvet elimi
nated thu Vanderbilt cup race front
the list. The Vanderbilt Is nothing
more than a name with which to con
jure. The race has degenerated from
an International free-ror-all classic to
n "clnss (’’’ contest, which means that
the event failed to attract entrants as
it stock car rare. The Vanderbilt re
ceived Its death blow so far *» pres
tige Is concerned, last fall, when It
was so wretchedly managed that tho
diiatli toll was slaxKerlng. It Is a pret
ty sentiment some of the automobile
officials are paying to young Vander
bilt who wns responsible fpr the pay
ing of their salaries In days whop tho
sanction Income was not great en -mh
to provide for the officials In conn "I
of the sport. Tho Vanderbilt ropst

nnd nn matter how well the Havannnh*

I am sure they will find that the de
