Vanderbilt Loses Stars; New Rules Hurt Chances
McGugin tc Have Real Team, However, as Usual
By 'Percy H. Whiting,
-r r ANDERBILT can not hop® to
\ have as good a team as in
* 1911.
• • *
As nearly as I can learn, we
have two excellent new men com
ing. .
* * *
The new rules have gone a step
backward in putting a premium on
heavy men.
• • •
We are not in as good a position
as we were to make a good show
ing against Harvard.
* • *
No use talking about It, 1 get
all stirred up myself when I reflect
on the fin*, cool, intelligent spirit
and play that Vanderbilt teams
have turned lose in games in the
North and East.

Aflsrt, there is the Vanderbilt elev

anyhow somebody wont there.
Others pull for Mmror—-because
they- are Baptist*. And eo it goes.
Hut all football crank® of the
Mlddlo Smith consider the Vander -
bilt team one of their own Institu

And nil bevauae the Commodores
tied AnpiKpolis 6 to 6 in 191": tied
Yale 0 to 0 last yeari beat Carlisle
4 to 0 in 1906. and held Michigan
to a 9 to 8 defeat last. year. Little
enough It may seem to some. Yet.
it was enough to put Southern
football on the nntional map -a
thing no other Southern team has
ever beetv aide to do,
-I- HTS year Uamh-rtdlt will tnkiy

Georgia, Mississippi, Auburn and
Sewanee, all mighty teams of the
S. I A. A.. it will go after the Uni

Harvard.
For that reason footbaTl cranks
of the entire South are watching
the team and wondering on its
chances of making’ll good showing,

ast year's wonderful Vanderbilt
team will not hr with the eleven
this fall rs
It seems that of the 1911 men
only those who are counted on are
Tom Brown. Enoch Blown. Mor
gan, Hardage. Sykes, Joe Coving
ton and Collins.
Almost any Southern coach
would cry with joy to get those
tnen But consider that McGugin
must face tlie loss of Ray Morri
son. ‘‘Frog’’ Metzger, 'Big t’n"
Ch eland, Gharh-y Brown and Kent
Mi. ii <m Kent Morrison will drop
out for .» year. Ray Morrison has
been gtaduated. So have Freeland
and Metzger.
Imagine trying to find three men
who can replace Ray Morrison,
Metzger and Freeland. It is
doubtful If a S I A. A. team in his
tory. excepting the Vanderbilt team
the year of the -‘Big Strike,” ever
lost as many valuable men In one
year. A lot of folks say that no /
team ever before lost a man as ;
valuable as Ray Morrison for the
excellent ri-asyn that there never.-
was one snch before. He was th/
star of the open field offense:
Freeland was- the vertebra rh/m
(cheese word for that overworked
one, “backbone”) of the defense,
and Metzger was the guy who
opened up the holes In the lijve
* * *
'T'O fill the gaps there are ti good
lot of high-grade sulgs and
scrubs io draw from—net (wonders
now, of course: but theyf will be
wonders after McGugin gets
through with them. Ifbr, as a
transmuter of base dubty Into solid
gold football players, McGugin’s
equal hasn’t over beim seen In
Dixie, or anywhere els*>, as far as 1
know.
In addition, some good now men
are looked for. Hebe Is the list as
pimniulgatod by McGugin:
McWilliams A hack field man
of repute from the Branham A
Hughes .school,
White—A lineman from Bran
ham At Hughes tKltool.
Shipp A lineman from Monney
school.
Porter- A lineman from the Cas
tle Heights Hc.hool.
Reports from the prep experts
tiro that Shipp and McWilliams are
useful men, with Vanderbilt varei
ty possibilities this year.

A SKKI> for an expression of opin
■* lon about the new rules and
how they would affect the Vander
bilt team, especially in the Har
vard game. McGugin said:
"I a epee with you and your opin
ion that the new rules have gone a
step backward in putting a pre
mium on heavy men. We will not
be with the opposition.
Since the Ixiokouts were here last
they have undergone w holesnle changes
in thetr personnel. Cracker fans will
baldly know it for the same team

Cruise in left, .Moran having been sold
to Washington. Gaston In (enter and
Gray in right, will greet the eye, while

Station, with the rest of the infield the
same.
Guido, a new catcher, who, paired
with Harrs (’ovaleskie. is the only
Polish batteri in baseball, and Priest
and Grover, new pitchers, are the other
acquisitions.

go back to anytl/ing like the game
under the rules Aefore they practi
cally changed, as there are too
many other hindrances in the way
of rules to make the 1904 game
practicable, k>ut we have taken a
step backw.-yrd and are not in quite
as good a position to make a show
ing against Harvard as we were
before tt-«e downs were increased
from three to four.
“I do mot know how to comment
on the Harvard game. We have
made, our good showing against
tearrss outside of the South largely
on -account of the diversified and
rapsd fire attack and also on ac
count of the most splendid deter
mined spirit when on the defense.
In other words., we have never
failed to gain ground rapidly dur
ing certain periods of the game
and have then been able to hold
our own upon the defense.”
* * •
x r ANDERBILT enthusiasts need
* not be particularly worried
ovei the prospects. It is quite
probable that the Commodores will
not be quite as strong this year as
they were last. But they will un
doubtedly be strong enough to up
hold the honors of the South in
that Harvard game. And they will
be certain to show Atlanta some
real football when they tackle the
Red and Black at Ponce DeLeon
park October 19
They will do it because Vander
bilt naturally draws a lot of the
best sort of football material. Rut
more particularly they will do It
because of McGugin.
I>an is the Wizard of the Pigskin
game. He has yet to score his tirsl
failure—and he’s been with us in
the South since 1904 Just how he
does It nobody really knows. But
he does <Io it, year after year. And
he Jias put the South on the foot
ball map.

Pittsburg Coin May Make Giants
I Choice Over Red Sox for Title;
By \V. .1. M.-Beth.
NEW YORK, Sept n -The
world’s scries of 1912 is one
.likely lo he remembered aS
long IS the game - li-iu.- s. Not
only will it bring together, in the
respective major league champions,
an unusually well matched pair of
<-ont< -ignis, but it will also fur
nish a stake of such gigantic pro
portions as to bring out the very
last ounce of tight.
A month is left of tbe major
league schedule. Much may hap
pen in that time. In neither league,
so far has the pennant been won
to an absolute cert&iiity’. Yet th<
Nev Yoik Giants ami the Boston
Red Sox appear to have such stran-'
gle holds on the laurels that, for
the sake of argument, we’ll elimi
nate the rest of the field?. Unless
some miracle hapr ns. the big an
nua! pow-wow of the elans will bo
staged jointly in this city and in
tlie < 'ity of ('ulture.
For evert’ one at all concernerl
in the national pastime, a better
po.st-S'-ason attraction could not
be arranged. In the matter of pure
ability, it is doubtful if two better
matched riv-iis ever faced e ieb oili
er. These prospective challengers
for a world's title represent the
two greatest hao-ball ci-ties of the
country. New York will undoubt
edly be the popular favorite over
Boston -at least, in lhe speculative
Heids. Pittsburg money is bound
to have such an infiuem >. It is
always a simple question of Na
tional league sentiment against that
of phe Ameri'-an b ague, and Pitts
burg nr.: ' invariably backs its’
sympathy for the old major organi
zation.
World of Money on Giants.
Os < curse. New York, in view of
local biiseball conditions, is a hot
bid . f National league enthusiasm,
and will string along with the
Giants to tic bitter end on that
aecmiiv. Conditions just the re

condition that enabled them to
make such brilliant seasons rec
ords. the world's series is bound t >
bi worth while. Personally. 1 think
the Red Sox lhe better of th.- two
teams. To my mind, they hay.
proved as much by gt.ilng through
th.-' whole season without one s,--
rmus slump. 1 think that in a
long race lik-- a season’s eliampi,,| l .
ship of 154 gaim s the Giants would
suffer greatly by comparison. But
a v orld's championship series and a
154-game series are different prop
ositions.
Batteries Will Count Most.
Usually—other things being at
ad . quel—this -holt dash puis .
right up to tin batteries. Mon
than ev. r will battery strength fig
lire in this f ill's big series. Outside
these points the teams shape up as
of about equal strength. The Red
Sox lay it all over the Giants in
the matter of outfield strength.
Boston boasts the greatest garden
trio of the game. But New York
fully equalizes tjiis in the infield.
McGraw has an exceptionally classy
bluer defense; Boston's first line is
not bi illiant.
Larry Gardner, at third, is the
best of the lot, and there arc thri -
or more third btiscmen in his own
company that are ranked higlu-r
than the Boston man. But the in
lield foui of the Speed Boys cover
a multitude of sins by heavy slick
work. .Every one of them is .1
sluggei. Heine Wagner is almost
as much of a terror as his illus
tii. :s namesake of the Pi.at -
Jake Stahl is a fence buster. In
defensive speed and skill New York
undoubtedly lays it over Boston’s
infi-. id. However, Hu- Hub's supe
rior hitting power and tlie outfield
advantages make it just about a
toss-up. 1 speak now of tlie short
scries.
It’s i>i-ptty nearly a question of
| pitching, then. Both teams have
• nviei fol c.-iti-hei-s. .Meyers. iMc-
Giaw-’e i la sy Indian backstop, has
nothing <>n <’ai-i'lgiin. exiept per

rattling good tossers. any one of
whom i- likeii so make McGraw’s
last step to tin limit-- Joe Wood,
Beiiient. Hall, (I'Brien and Col
lins.
Wood Has Heep of Speed.
