Football Season Closing in Fast; Dixie Teams Will Be Out for Practice Soon
VANDV AND GEORGIA TEAMS WILL BE LOUD NOISE
By Percy 11. Whiting.
JUST two weeks from today va
rious broad-shouldered young
gentlemen will assemble at cer
tain of our institutions of learning,
battered garments of blood, and
mud-stained moleskin will be dealt
out anil the football practice for the
1912 season will begin.
Os course September 2, the same
being Labor Day, Is not the formal
reporting day for football players.
Hut in the South, football activity
usually gets its start the first week
in September. This year the open
ing day of that week will find the
University of Georgia football play
ers doing light work and the Tech,
Vanderbilt, Auburn, Mercer, Clem
son and Alabama candidates as
sembling or making plans for the
first formal gathering of the Can
dida tes.
• • •
The greatest interest of the sea
son in the South will center around
the Vanderbilt and Georgia teams.
Os all the elevens In the South,
these two have the brightest pros
pects and *the most ambitious
schedules.
The Vanderbilt team has bit off
a tremendous schedule. After an
easy opener on September 28 and
another cinch on October 12. the
Commodores take on Rose Poly
technic for the third game. October
19 Now, Rose is some college, and
,ltas always had a team that gave
V anderbilt trouble. The following
Saturday the Commodores buck
Alex Cunningham's University of
Georgia eleven, the team which,
next to Vanderbilt, ought to rank
the strongest In the South. The
next game Is with Mississippi—
always a Tartar and always set to
beat Vanderbilt. Then come a cou
ple of Lulu games—University of
Virginia at Nashville and Hatvard
at Cambridge. The Virginia game
offers a big problem VanderWlt
has long been rated thi strongest
team in the Southern intercollegi
ate Athletic association But Vir
ginia is not in this organization
and has a lot more latitude than
the Commodores in reeruting play
ers.
Os course the Harvard game Is
counted a sure defeat for the Com
modores but then you never can
tell The Commodores handed
Annapolis ami Yah a surprise
apiece and they don't issue any
guarantee that Harvard will not be
treated likewise
Then come on the Vandy sched
ule Central of Kentucky, likely to
be not verj troublesome; Auburn,
always a contender, and Sewanee,
the anti-climax gatm of the sea-
VVith Ray Morrison. "Rig Un"

Dan MeGugin will have an awful

The Big Race |
Here’s how the “Big Five” of the
American league are hitting the ball,
the averages including yesterday’s
games:
PLAYER— A.B. H. P.C.
COBB 419 173 .413
SPEAKER 440 174 .395
JACKSON 423 159 .376
COLLINS 397 136 .343
LAJOIE 286 90 .315
Ty Cobb fell off over seven points
last week. Saturday was a bad day for
his average, as he failed to connect once
in four attempts. Speaker is now with
in eighteen points of the “Georgia
Peach.” The most remarkable hitting
during the past two weeks has been
done by Collins. Just about fifteen days
ago his clouting average was a little
over .300. Today he is hitting .343.
No games were played in the Amer
ican league yesterday as the Western
clubs were all in the East.
1 zs EORGIA, of course, has no such
T schedule as Vanderbilt, but it
has considerable schedule for all
that, and the fact that the Athens
team plays Tech and Vanderbilt in
Atlanta will make its doings of ex
ceptional interest. Coach Cunning

material for next season—Hendryx,
Clancy, Haigh, Cullop, Swindell and Mills.
Clancy in particular looks good. He is
hitting .429 for the last 19 games.

Going! Going!! Gone!!! All Our
White Hopes Now White Jokes
By W. W. Naughton.
NE by one they wander
I I from us,” is the refrain of
an old song that treats of
the desertion of the old homestead
by successive members of the fam
ily. With a few simple changes
the ditty would adapt Itself to the
white hope situation.
First, Carl Morris, and now Lu
ther McCarthy, whom Billy McCar
ney, with flashing eyes and swell
ing breast, declared would one day
grow so famous that his name
would become a household word.

TT ERE in Atlanta it Is about the
same old tale—Tech hasn’t
much material or much hope, but
with Coach Heisman in charge
there is sure to be a well-trained
team which will make a creditable
showing. That’s all Atlanta has any
right to hope for. Technical
schools don’t turn out great teams.
They never have —and they never
will until some method is discov
ered by which football candidates
can do laboratory and shop work in
their sleep.
The Tech team will play much its
usual schedule, with Sewanee, Au
burn and Clemson as the feature
games, and with the big climax, the
Georgia contest, coming as usual
in mid-season instead of at the end,
where it should be.
The new rules aren’t going to
make things any easier for Tech
this year. Last year they rather
favored ttic Yellowjackets. They
made it possible for a team of
light, fast men who knew football
to cope with most anything. The
rules committee, by performing a
back fiip and allowing four downs
instead of three, have automatically
brought the big husky back into his
old, proud position in football. This
year quick thinking and quick run
ning will give place to weight and
brue strength. This will hurt Tech,
for they don’t seem to send big men
to the Georgia School of Technol
ogy these days.
• • •
pOACH Stroud, of the Mercer
team, will be back in Macon
early in September. He has been
summering In Exter. Cal., but will
leave there in a couple of weeks.
The candidates will assemble about
mid-September, and will buckle
right down to work, for they have
a game September 28.
Mercer has a pretty hard and a
peculiarly badly balanced schedule.
After opening with a prep school
game—a thing that no self-respect
ing college team is expected to do
these days—the Baptists take on
the tough Auburn team on Octo
ber 5. Then comes an easy game,
with Howard. Then the Tech team
invades Macon for a game with
Stroud’s men. This is set for Oc
tobei 19, Then comes an easy game
with Columbia college (of Florida),
a doubtful contest with Tennes
see. a hard game with Clemson and
the usual anti-climax with Univer
sity of Florida.
Stroud will return most of last
year’s men and ekpects for once to
have a team at Mercer that will
rank right with the best In the
South —barring only Vanderbilt.
Mercer has long been in the dol
drums. athletically speaking, but
gradually it is working its way out,
and tills year It oujht to make the
biuciv: noise of its career.
fought the big novice at every stage
of a ten-round bout they said Mc-
Carthy held out promise of Im
provement,
Avaunt and avast with such in
sincere twaddle! The white hope
who has failed under trial, but who
is “going to do better, when he has
a fight or two under his belt,” Is
In a class with a jaded champion
who is “going to the mountains to
recuperate.” He is a mighty un
safe proposition.
It goes to show that after all
fighting is a, trade. The fighter
who is born, and not made, is a
scarce specimen of humanity.
In the light of what is happen
ing, the sayings of Philadelphia
Jack O’Brien and Jack Johnson
seem epigrammatic.
“I can lick any man who has
not had two years experience in
the professional ring,” remarked
Philadelphia John prior to his San
Francisco go with Al Kaufman.
“Palzer is not ripe yet,” said
Champion Johnson, when asked at
Las Vegas whether he regarded
Palzer in the light of a possible op
ponent. There was that in the tone
which suggested that Johnson con
sidered Palzer an easy mark, but
felt that the big lowan would have
to be coddled along a bit further
to stimulate public Interest and in
crease the prospects of a large at
tendance.
The trouble with white hopes is
that they are exploited mainly on
their dimensions, and before they
have accomplished anything to
speak of. Size and strength and the
power to smite are merely funda
mental qualities for a cub heavy
weight. They are next to useless
until he has acquired a ring edu
cation, w’hich, during almost any
generation of pugilists, is a hard
thing to acquire.
The woods are full of men who,
while they lack real championship
requirements, are plenty good
enough to shatter the dreafns of
the hopes. A dozen years ago Joe
Choynski, Kid McCoy and a few
others were the watch dogs and
trial horses of the heavyweight di
vision. Today we have Jim Flynn
and Jim Stewart.
They are hard fellows to get by.
A beating by one of them has a
double .effect inasmuch as it sets a
novice back and at the same time
discourages him. This is made ap
parent in the case of Carl Morris.
Before he tackled Jim Flynn there
was no such word as fall tn the
bright lexicon of the stalwart
Oklahoman. Since then he has
been a mark for every man he
boxed.
ARTHUR MADDOX TO HELP
COACH GEORGIA ELEVEN
ATHENS. GA., Aug. 19.—Although it
has not been officially announced, the
news has leaked out here that Arthur
Maddox, for fouT years a member of
the University of Georgia football team,
has been engaged as assistant coach
for the coming year.
This news will be heard with much
pleasure by the. students and alumni of
the institution, as the big tackle was
one of the most popular men that evet
played at Georgia, and during his
course at the institution was most ac
tive in phases of college life.
Due to the large number of men that
turn out for football and the amount of
work needed to whip the new material
into line, an assistant coach is an abso
lute necessity, and in Maddox local
supporters of athletics feel that the
light man has been secured for the
place.

HEROOFRDME
MOTOR RAGES
ROME, GA., Aug. 19.—8i1l Gil
bert, of Atlanta, riding an
Excelsior twin, lowered the
track motorcycle record here by
two seconds. Also Gilbert made a
clean sweep of the events in which
he started. He captured two three
mile match races and made a grand
showing in another three-mile
event. He was clocked in one of
the miles in 35 seconds. The for
mer record was 37 flat
Gilbert was easily the hero of
the biggest motorcycle meet ever
held here. His daring spurts around
the turns and in the stretches were
- sensational, and at the end of each
event he was cheered to the echo.
The summaries:
Three-Mile Match Race —H. M.
Gilbert, Atlanta, Excelsior twin,
first; John Veal, Rome, Ga., Mer
