Nofh/ng Thrilling in Sight in the Way ot Football Games on Saturday
real FOOTBALL DOINGS OPEN UP ON OCT. 12
B\ Percy H. Whiting.
ONE week from tomorrow will
begin the brief but thrilling
series of contests that will
rd a.ong about Thanksgiving time
P well, nobody knows exactly
,'ha- but among other things in
tr 'e elimination of enough teams to
d efid e on the undisputed gridiron,
champion of the South. •
Til?t Saturday's games were all
rank preliminaries. Those of this
a irday are not materially better.
Tech dallies with Citadel. Georgia
wttpru away its time with Chatta
’ nSi , Vanderbilt jollies itself along
playing Maryville and so it goes
through the whole list.
The following Saturday, now
ever' October 12. will see the begin
ning of bigger things.
for one thing, Tech plays Ala
bama that day. at Tech flats. This
should be a corking good game.
Alabama and Tech should be teams
of about equal strength this fall.
Not much has been heard from
Tuscaloosa yet, but they always
have a pretty husky team there,
and there is no cause to fear that
they will not be able to give the
Tech team an awful chase.
The fact is. Tech looks alarm
ingly weak this year. Coach Heis
man has a good, game bunch of
lads They are quick, they are
brave, and they are working like
beavers. But you can't play foot
ball this season when your line
averages 159 pounds and your backs
150 1-2. That’s all right in prep
circles, but doesn’t count for much
among college teams —not when
thet4 are four downs allowed to
make ten yards and when the other
teams are averaging around 170 to
ISO.
Last year the Jackets were shy
of good substitutes. But this year
they just haven’t any—good or
otherwise. They have eleven men
who can make a fair showing—and
that lets them out. The first time
there is an accident the team has
an awful gap in it. the loss of two
men would be a calamity, the loss
of five or six—and that’s no un
usual number in a hard season—
would wreck the team beyond hope
of repair. ,

Os course, the fact that so many
A anderbilt men are coaching is a
# fine advertisement for Vanderbilt
and McGugin. But it is chiefly use
ful to the Commodores from the
fact that every Vanderbilt man
who is coaching at a prep school is
a volunteer recruiting officer for
the Vanderbilt team and sends
most of his stars to finish their
football career at Nashville.
Verily, Vanderbilt was lucky
when McGugin was engaged.

a S the football season begins to'
open up the dopesters are fig
uring hard as to whether or not
they really like the new football.
Nobody seems to know for sure as
yet. Yet, all are agreed on one
thing, and that is that the con
stant changes are hurting the
game. Here is the opinion on that
subject of Walter H. Eckersall, per
haps the greatest quarterback of all
football history:
Constant changing of the foot
ball rules annually since the aboli
tion of mass play following the
season of 1905 has detracted inter
est from the game. Football is
complicated, and unless a person
knows some of the fundamentals
of the great college pastime con
tests will not be as interesting as
they are to those who understand
the different rules. The coaches,
players and officials have had
hard enough times keeping in
touch with the many changes and
the possibilities afforded by the
alterations. It is little wonder,
then, that the average football
fan can not keep in close touch
with the game.
It is my honest opinion that
the rules committee at its meet
ing in New York last winter did
a great deal to simplify the code
which will allow spectators at the
big games to understand more
fully what is going on and what
each team is trying to do. The
present alterations will equalize
more than ever since the inau
guration of the forward pass and
ten-yard rule the offense and de
fense.
♦ ♦ ♦
The University of Arkansas team,
coached by Hugo Bezdek, has taken
on a peculiarly assorted schedule
this year, that includes games with
Henderson. Drury, Oklahoma A. &
M.. Texas A. & M., Wisconsin.
Louisiana State university, Wash
ington university and the Univer
sity of Texas. Some of those teams
are top-notchers, some of them we
never eveti heard of before.

Joe Engle and Jay Carl Cashion,
of the Washington baseball team,
will try to play football this fall.
Engle goes to Mount St. Mary, of
Emmittsburg, Md., and Cashion to
Davidson. Both will play football
GLIDDEN PROPOSES TO
HOLD HIS TOUR ANYHOW
BOSTON, MASS., Oct. 4 Though the
Glidden automobile tour has beer, post
poned for this year. Charles .I. Glidden,
donor of the tour trophy, last night is
sued a general invitation to automobile
owners to accompany him over the route
originally planned from Detroit to New
Orleans, leaving Detroit October 14.
Mr. Glidden’s announcement says that
hls move is not antagonistic to the Amer
ican Automobile association, which post
poned the tour, but is intended to show
to the world that automobile touring in
the United States is neither dead nor
sleeping.
McMAHON BIDS $7,500

NEW YORK. Oct 4.—Edward McMa
hon. manager of the Empire Athletic
club, has wired Lightweight Champion
Ad Wolgast an offer of $7,500 to box John
ny Lore, of the east side, ten rounds
here.
Lore made such a corking showing
in his bout here the other night that
McMahon believes he can hold his own
with Wolgast, at least for ten rounds.

many ways the code of 1912 is sim
pler than ever before. He doesn't
like the rule that allows four downs

DOYLE’S INJURY WILL
NOT KEEP HIM OUT OF
WORLD SERIES GAMES
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. —Supporters of the
New York Giants received an awful jolt
yesterday when Captain Larry Doyle was
spiked in the game with Brooklyn. The
latest reports are. however, that the in
jury is not a serious one, and that Doyle
should be in good rendition for the world
series. ,
Delivery of world's series tickets has
been started at Boston. The temporary
seats are in trim and the diamond has
been smoothed off In preparation for the
fra y.
Reserved seat tickets will be placed on
sale here Monday.
It is likely that the receipts for the first
game of the series will amount, to SBO,OOO,
thus topping all records.
Fifty thousand dollars In checks receiv
ed at the offices of the New York Giants
and the National league for tickets to the
world's baseball series have been returned
to senders.
There was.no mail sale on tickets sched
uled for this year's series, but this fact
did not prevent a flood of letter applica
tions These have been received by die
thousands, much to the disgust of flie
official staff in both places. The only
thing to do was to mail back the checks
with a note reiterating the conditions un
der which tickets for the big series will
be sold.
The most common method was to r>-
turn with a note saying that the disposal
of tickets was in the hands of the national
commission.
