Condition and Experience Will Count a Lot in Vandy-Georgia Game ATHENIANS HAVE CHANCE FOR SOUTHERN TITLE - - ■ ■ L By Percy H. Whiting. IT has fallen to the lot of At unta to see the best game of the S. 1. A. A. season of 1912. It is the Vanderbilt-Georgia game which mH he played at Ponce DeLeon next Saturday afternoon. There appears small doubt but that, when the final estimate of teams is made at the end of this sea-on. the first two' teams will be Georgia and Vanderbilt but ntiether that will be the order or whether it will be reversed re main? to be demonstrated. Only one other team seems now to have, a look-in. That team is Auburn. The Alabama Polytech n.; s take on both Georgia and Van derbilt so the thing should be worked out to a real decision. If sfn'y other teams in the sblect or ganization have a chance for the championship they have not shown li yet. rHK man who could forecast the inner of Saturday's game with ertainty .would.be a wonder.indegd. ■ - he could get rich in one short afternoon It will be an exciting betting proposition.. Vanderbilt has. the more experienced and less trained tram Georgia has a team made up of fine individual players, but because so many are new men it is . not a team that has absolutely per fected team play. It will be bet n trained for the game, however., than the Commodores. Mclntosh Tries to Harmonize Teas and Fight Performances By W. AV. Naughton. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14.

In |,opi• ■r> a op. n ’ and ' the I able told the t util . . ■ere were as man> coroneu ab /CONSIDERING first the matter of experience, the Vanderbilt team this year is m.ade up pretty largely of old material. Some of the names that are new to the or dinary football fans are names of men who for two or three years have been playing on scrub teams or as substitutes on the varsity. Those who are absolutely new aj Vanderbilt have all had a slather of prep school training. McGugin has a team that is al ready made. Now. take Georgia: Coach Cun ningham this year had about the largest amount of first-class mate rial, physically and of potential playing possibility, that has ever . fallen to the lot of a Southern coach. At the same time'there.isn't anything quite so difficult to whip into a team as a slather of un trained men. For instance, he ' might have five men who seem ideally fitted to play the, center po sition Yet not one. i,f the five is ready to jump in and play a pol ished game at the position. So five good candidates aren't half as use ful, especially for an early game, as one trained performer. For the closing game of the'season Cun ningham should have a well trained team; Whether or not it is possi ble to get one ready for a game at the middle of October remains to be demonstrated. If he doesn't, it is no discredit. If he does, he will have performed one of the most re markable feats ever accomplished cauliflowers ears at one Queens berry assemblage in England's cap ital last year. Costumes May Come Next. Either the innovation had a con trary effect to the on>' desired or the supply of boxers gave out. for there has not been a high-grade glove contest, in London for many a moon. Mclntosh’s next circular will be awaited with interest. If his new scheme thrives, the boxing show girl of the future may class with the horse show girl of the past. Then the editoresses of the ladies’ columns will be expected to furnish hints as to correct costumes for Queensberry matinees. And in the meantime it looks as though a lady patron of Mclntosh's temple of thumpology will have to < acquire perfect pose in order to en joy fisticuffs and the cup that cheers at one and the same time. Otherwise the spectacle of a ring man being suddenly up-ended by a violent clout may cause her to up set the brew and spoil her gown Speaking of Paul Til recalls that MMntosh is importing French' box ers in fair-sized lots, the time of his last circle the Parisian box ing colony in Sidney consisted of Til and Bernstein, lightweights, and Audouy, Truffier and Balzac, wel t" weights. The last named claims to be a. direct descendant of Hon ore Balzac, the famous French au- I thor. The coming season's boxing in Sidney will certainly have a French flavor. And yet it does nog seem sn very long since the popular idea was that the Frenchman could not inflict a corkscrew punch unless permitted to use his feet. lipton ready to race IF RULES_ARE CHANGED. NEW YORK. Oct. 14—Sir Thomas Lipton, who arrived by the steamer Caroniti yesterday, said he proposed to discuss with the New York Yacht club officials terms under which he might challenge for the international yacht ing trophy which he has thrice vainly tried to lift. "I am always ready to challenge,” said the Englishman, "and if the New York Yacht club would modify the rule requiring the challenging boat to cross the Atlantic on its own bottom. I be liece I could build a boat to hold her own with any American-built boat of the same type, style and weight. If I built a freak boat and sail het across, they will build a lighter one here to beat me. There is no sport in that." Sir Thomas said if he built another challenger he would name her the Shamrock IV. He said he had won 23 out of 29 races in which he had com peted in European waters. "Yachting I as a pastime in England is falling off." < he said, “but in Germany it is becom- j ing more and more popular. At Kiel i this year I saw the finest yacht races 1 ever witnessed, with as many as 129 boats in one race.” DENVER TRIMS MILLERS AND CAPTURES SERIES DENVER. COLO . Oct 14. Th.

OCTOBER 14. 1912 by a Southern coach. * ♦ ♦ NTOW. in the matter of condition: The Commodores must play the University of Virginia November 2. they must play Harvard Novem ber 9. and they must be ready for . Auburn November 23. To the Vanderbilters every one of these three games is of more im portance than the Georgia game. If the Nashville players are in top notch condition for the Georgia game, they will go stale long be fore they get to Cambridge for the game which is supremely impor tant to them —the Harvard contest. A lot of McGugin's success has been due to the excellent physical condition he keeps his men in. You seldom hear of a Vanderbilt player being overtrained He keeps his men in this condition by requiring only light work, except when heavy work is necessary and that is in an occasional scrimmage and in a ga me, , You can put it down as an abso lute certainty that the Vanderbilt . players will not be absolutely fit and hard for the Georgia game. And condition is surely a big part of the battle in a close game. The Georgia, football schedule is so arranged ' t ha't Coach Gunning ham is taking no big chance in bringing his men up to the finest condition for.this game. With Tan dy out of the 'way, the Athenians play Alabama. Sewanee and Clem son. All three of them should •be easy games, unless Sewanee shows surprising and unexpected strength. In fact, t'oach Cunningham will not have to make any big preparations for a game until that of November 16. when Tech will be the Athen ians' opponent. Coach Cunningham can get his men fit for Vantjerbilt, let them go stale, and then brine; them around again before any ex treme exertions will be needed. * * ♦ A NY WAY you figure this Satur day's contest, it should be a great game. The Red and Black has the chance of its career to pol ish off the Commodores and to. win the football championship of the South. If Cunningham and his men can "get by” Saturday they will not be headed this season. They have the material and the men will be in condition. They have been taught all the football that they could pos sibly assimilate in the short time they have been training. Can they overcome the team that, year after year, has swept the best in the South before it? It's a puz zle. But there'll be something doing while they’re solving it. “Correct Dress for Men" GRAND FALL OPENING! Essig Bros. Co.

STALLINGS SIGNS WITH BRAVES FOR 5 YEARS AT SIO,OOO PER BOSTON. MASS., Oct. 14—Georg. | Stalling- has signed to manage the Boston Nationals team. His contract tuns for five years This deal has been »n for weeks, but was hung up tight because Stallings refused to sign tor a one-year contract. He claimed that there was no chance to build up the club in one yea and tiiat his only hope was to have several years to put the Braves in the tunning. He said he did not care to get a good fiamework built and then to see the club turned over to some other man ager. Evidently he won hl- point, for his contract is ironclad and tuns so five years. it is reported that Stallings is to get SIO,OOO a year for his set vices. HEITMULLER IS DEAD; HIS TEAM IS VICTIM OF TYPHOID EPIDEMIC LOS ANGELES. Oct. 14.—Following close upon the death of Outfielder "Heinie” Heitmuller, comes the infor mation that the entire Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league is threatened with typhoid fever and the fear is entertained that the team may be wiped out by an epidemic. Captain Dillon reluctantly admitted this fact. late.last night when inter viewed by a reporter "Yes. it's Hye that the boys are badly scared.” said Dillon. "Hughey Smith is bedridden with typhoid, while Walter Slagle, ’Bill’ Tozer and myself are sick and out of the game. Many of the boys are complaining of feeling ill, and. for the time being, we are what you might call 'all shot to pieces.’” SECRET PRACTICE FOR VANDY BEFORE GA. GAME NASHVILLE, TENN., Oct. 14. —Secret practice has begun at Vanderbilt in prep aration for the Georgia game in Atlanta Saturday. CoiuJl- M< 'Gogin has never followed the Eastern practice of waiting to the last month of tiie season to bring his team up to its lighting edge, and this year more than ever he is pushing matters on ac courit of the fact that oneof'hTs hardest games comes so early in the season. What happened at the secret practice in the way of developing new plays is a matter that only the coaches and the players know. It is possible, however, that Georgia will have an opportunity to find out. as the Commodores are expect ing to have to let themselves out to the fullest to win from Cunningham's men CHARLESTON FISHER GETS TWO DIAMONDS IN CATCH CHARLESTON, S.

Wrestling Champion Forsakes Mat; to Winter on the Pacific Coast HORRORS OF TRAINING HAVE PUT GOTCH ON SHELF By Ed. \V. Smith. Ci HICAGO, Oct. 14.—The mat game will know Its greatest exponent. Frank Gotch, no more. The absolute horrors of training outweigh in the Gotch mind the love—or need, as the ease may be —of money. In other words, the champion will attempt to worry along now on what he has accumu lated—and live in peace and quiet. Also he will live without the tor ture of having to think that with in a certain time he will have to start the hideous grind of going "on the road" to get himself fit for a hard match. Dante never pictured worse tor ture or harrowed a soul with more frightful ideas of an inferno than Gotch entertains about training. It's a strange situation, but a true one. nevertheless. And other athletes who have reached a cer tain age after troublous years of the grind talk in much the same strain as does Gotch. Ask Jack Johnson and he will tell you, if he is in the mood.

The national commission is said to be so sore over the yelp of the players be cause the tie game in Boston counted as one of their four that they talk of abol ishing the serise. This series means an average of something better than $3,504 i for every player who takes part—but that isn't enough foil of a nice place, I think of the wrestling game and wonder how it would be to start out again.
