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. , • * • T F Georgia trims Vanderbilt 1n 1 Atlanta on October 19, a thing that is a lot more than just merely possible, it will be the first time in all history when a student of Mr- Gugin football ever put it over on McGugin. * lex Cunningham.

Owsley Menier and Stein Stone are assistants to Coach McGugin. the former being team trainer also. 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.

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.
