Condition and Experience Will Count a Lot in Vandy-Georgia Game ATHENIANS HAVE CHANCE FOR SOUTHERN TITLE By Percy H. Whiting. IT has fallen to the lot of At anta to see the best game of the S. I. A. A. season of 1912. It is , Vanderbilt-Georgia game which will be played at Ponce DeLeon next Saturday afternoon. There appears small doubt but (hat. "hen the final estimate of teams is made at the end of this seamn. the first two teams will be Georgia and Vanderbilt but nTi-thei that will be the order or whether it will be reversed re nt n- to be demonstrated. Only one other team seems now have a look-in. That team is tuburn. The Alabama Polytech n: s take on both Georgia and Van derbilt. so the thing should be worked out to a real decision. If any other teams in the select or ganization ■ have a chance for the championship they have not shown It vet. .pHE man who could forecast the * winner of Saturday’s game with , ertainty would be a wonder ind.egd. Also he could get rich in one short afternoon It will be an exciting betting proposition. V.anderbilt has the more experienced and less trained team. Georgia has a team made up of fine individual players, but because so many are new men it is no; a team that has absolutely per fected team play. It will be bet ter trained for the game, however, than the Commodores. Mclntosh Tries to Harmonize Teas and Fight Performances By W. W. Xaughton. SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. 14.

'■r» wert many coronets as /■CONSIDERING first the matter of experience, the Vanderbilt team this year is made 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 at 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 of 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 one 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 Mclntosh is importing French box ers in fair-sized lots. At 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 te weights. The last named claims to be a direct descendant of Hon ore Balzac, the famous French au thor. The coming season's boxing in Sidney will certainly have a French flavor. And yet it does not seem so very iong 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 Uaronia 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 1 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 her 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 a« a pastime in England is falling off." he said, “but in Germany it is becom ing more and more popular. At Kiel this year I saw the finest yacht races I ever witnessed, with as many as 129 boats in one race.” DENVER TRIMS MILLERS AND CAPTURES SERIES DENVER.

OCTOBER 14. 1912. by a Southern coach. * * ♦ 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 211. To the Vandei bilters 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 game. 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 that Coach Cunning ham is taking no big chance in bringing his men up to the finest condition for this game. Van 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. Coach 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 gel his men fit for Vanderbilt, let them go stale, and then bring 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! BMHMMmWIFII¥MI —■lll MmgBMMBMBMfIt WIIIWIIWIMMIIWMMMBBHBWBBMMBBMIWMMMMMI Essig Bros. Co.

MASS., Oct. 14 -Georg i Stallings lias signed to manage the Boston Nationals team. His contract runs for five years This deal has been on for weeks, but "as hung up tight because Stallings refused to sign tor a ooe-year contract. He claimed that there was no chance to build up the club In one year and that his only hope was to have several years to put the Braves in the tunning. He said lie did not care to get a good framework built and titen to see the club turned over to some other man ager. Evidently he won his point, for his contract is ironclad and runs to five years. It is reported that Stallings is to get SIO,OOO a year for his services. HEITMULLER IS DEAD; HIS TEAM IS VICTIM OF TYPHOID EPIDEMIC ’ i 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 true 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 al Vanderbilt in prep aration for the Georgia game in Atlanta Saturday. Coach McGugin has never followed the Eastern practice of waiting to the last month of the season to bring his team up to its fighting edge, and this year more than ever he is pushing matters on ac count of the fact that one“df’his 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.

Wresiling Champion Forsakes Mat; to Winter on the Pacific Coast HORRORS OF TRAINING HAVE PUT fiOTCH ON SHELF By Ed. \V. Smith. CHICAGO. Oct. 14.—The mat game w ill know its greatest exponent. Frank Gotch, no more. The absolute horrors of training outweigh in the Gotch mind the love —or need, as the case 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. Gotch Afraid of Grind.

Say, the chills just begin to creep all over me w’hen I fancy those six weeks, or maybe it would have to be eight weeks this time, of wont that would be necessary to get me into condition. “Now, I've had unpleasant things come up in my life, and later on. when I think of thart*, i uy to think that it wouldn’t be so hard to go through them again.
