■Bob" McWhorter, Right Half—He
.. one of the greatest players who ever

firs: gained distinction by his wonder
fl.: work at Gordon institute. He was
unanimously selected as all-Southern
ha fbavk in his freshman year and re

b, ; :,-am and is the idol of Georgia
fens Bob's longsuit is his great open
field running, and in this particular
ine of play Georgia enthusiasts think
hhn to he the superiors of any player
in Dixie. He is also a great defensive
and at all stages keeps a cool
head.
■ Big Luke” Lucas. Guard— Lucas is
s strong believer in the. adage that
"consistency is a jewel," and it is due
to this that he is now rated as one of
t.. i. a; forwards in the South. He is
j./cting his fourth year at the universi
ty and is taking a post-graduate course
in the engineering department. He
hails from Waverly Hall, Ga., and re
rGved his early football training by
- rubbing" his freshman year. He
will make a strong bid for an all-
Southern position this season.
"Big Joe" Harrell—He is a native
of North Carolina and is playing his
second year. Joe. is one of the best de
fensive players in the Georgia line. Ho
performs at left tackle and is a fin
ished product of Riverside Military col
lege. where he first burst into promi
nence. He is heady and fast, and can
always be counted on to hold his own
against the best qf them.
"Outley" Parris, End—His height is
6 feet 1 inch, and he is playing his third
year with the Georgia team. “Butley"
is a former resident of the Classic
city, but is now domiciled in Tennes
see. He. is an artist at handling the
forward pass, and is one of the very
best at "breaking” interference. He is
a senior A. R. and will be seen in a
Georgia uniform for the last time this
season. Last year injuries kept him out
of some of the big games, but he looks
to be in the best of condition this
year
"Punk” Malone— His height is 6 feet,
and his weight 180. He is entering on
his second year as a “G” man. He is a
sophomore and received his early tu
toring at Sandy Beavers’ Stone Moun
tain i’niversity school. He played
fullback on the 1911 team, but this
season has been switched to the tackle
position, where he is playing a splen
did article of football. "Punk" is a
favorite of Assistant Coach Ketron and
has received an unusual amount of
valuable information from this past
master of line play.
"Big Boy” Henderson—His height is
'i feet 11 inches, and he plays center.
H' is playing his first season as a
member of the University of Georgia
and has already shown himself to
be a marvel. He tips the scales at 220
pounds and is being used to'back up the
line. Henderson prepped at Gordon in
stitute and was a member of Cunning
ham s prep school champions of 1909.
He has been out of the game for the
biggest part of the present season with
an injured knee, and it is doubtful
whether he will get in the game on
Saturday.
’Buggies" Covington, Quarterback —
H> weighs 168. and his height iu 5 feet
I" inches. He is the map that first
"''"’iKht Cartersville into prominence
and he is playing his last year with
ft’orgia. He is given credit for pos
s, sing more football knowledge than
■'■my man on the team. He has per
" nod at center for the past two years
anr is rated as one of the best in the
business. He received his football tu
toring at Cartersville High school and
during his freshman year was the
mainstay of the Reserves at the tinl
’’ sity. He is a member of the senior
lh " class and a favorite with the
'profs."
John Wheatley. Fullback— His height
h 6 feet, and his weight 168. He is a
’'■Hive Americus and was a star at
btone .Mountain, where he learned to
•’ football. Wheatley Is a great line
rnget and picks his openings in
* ’kingly accurate fashion. He is a
"‘'"nan and bids fair to become one
he greatest fullbacks Georgia ever
' "bleed. He is also a punter of no

at blocking. Injuries have kept him
from showing at his best during the
early part of the season, but he has
at last rounded to form and will surely
be seen in the game Saturday.
“Dave” Paddock, Left Half— His
weight is 155, and his height 5 feet 10
inches. He hails from New Jersey and
prepped at Peddie institute, where he
was captain of the team last season.
He is one of the fastest men on the
field and is an excellent defensive man.
Dave is taking a course in agriculture.
He has shown marked ability at drop
kicking.
Crump - Halfback—H is weight is 155,
and his height 5 feet 9 inches. He came
to the University of Georgia from Ma
con, where he played football with the
high school team of that place. He is
a member of the sophomore class and
was a substitute on the 1911 team.
Crump, too. has been laid, up for the
past two weeks with a sprained ankle,
and has been unable to get into the
first two games. He is one of the grit
tiest players on the squad and gives
promise of developing into a star.
Conklin, End —He weights 150, and
his height is 5 feet 8 inches. He is the
fiercest tackler on the field and a de
fensive player of more than ordinary
ability. He is a senior at the universi
ty and is playing his second year with
the varsity. His playing in the Tech
game last year was great and local
supporters expect great things of him
this season.
Bowden, End— His height is 5 feet 11
inches, and his weight 170. He came
to Georgia two years ago from Locust
Grove institute, where he made a great
record as an all-round athlete. He is
in his junior year and hails from Mc-
Donough. Bowden played at half dur
ing the past two seasons, but this year
finds him holding down one of the
wing positions, where he Is playing

is handling the forward pass in great
style. He was able to get in but little
of the Citadel game Saturday on ac
count of slight injuries, but will be in
fit condition for the fray Saturday.
CORBETT NOW SUFFERS
FROM BASEBALL MANIA
PHILADTLPHIA. PA.. Oct. 16
More progress toward complete recov
ery was made yesterday by James J.
Corbett than on any other day since he
was hurried to the Jefferson hospital
with a serious case, of appendicitis and
operated upon on short notice. The big
fellow really seemed to think he was
getting enough to eat once more, and
had stopped kicking along that line.
To his visitors Corbett discussed the
world's series to the exclusion of every
other subject. When he heard that the
Giants had scored a bushel of runs in
the opening inning at the Polo grounds,
he let out a whoop that was a loud one
for a sick man. and when the final
score was told to him he expressed a
belief that his favorites would win the
series.
BRUSH IS SICK: MISSES
GAME HIS TEAM WINS
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.—President
John T. Brush, owner of the Giants, is
missing from the fray. He is seriously
ill at his hotel here, and can not leave
his room. His physicians are much
worried about his condition. He has
never fully recovered from the shock of
the automobile accident in which his
limousine turned turtle a few weeks
ago. He attended the first two world's
series games, but has had to remain
away since. His friends are very anx
ious. about his health. It is probable
that he will not be able to attend the
National league meeting, in which ease
he will be represented by Secretary Joe
O’Brien.

Jackets Prepare for
Game Saturday With
Mercer Team in Macon
The Yellow Jacket squad has settled
down to real work after the victory
Saturday and are making great efforts
to duplicate the stunt next Saturday,
when they play Mercer in Macon.
The Baptists have a good team this
year and are going stronger than usual,
so this game will be about the hardest
for the Teehites so far this year.
Tuesday a hard scrimmage was held
and the varsity succeeded in getting
only two touchdowns to the scrubs one.
Every inch of ground was fought for.
The varsity scored its last points after
it was dark.
Moore, the end w ho starred in Satur
days game, is showing up well in
scrimmage, and if he keeps his pace
'/, UI e!y lanti a permanent place on
the big team.
The team is not getting over-confi
dent on account of the recent unex
pected successes, but is down to real
hard work. The men are trying to
make the most of a seemingly bad year
CADY WON POSITION BY
ACCIDENTS TO OTHERS
BOSTON, Oct. 16. —When the Amer
ican league season of 1912 began For
was Boston ’s third catcher.
Bill Carrigan and Leslie Nunamaker
were considered the first string back
stops.
Then Carrigan was hurt. Nunamak
er became the first catcher for the time
being. It went on that way for nearly
two weeks. Then Nunamaker was hurt
and Stahl was forced to call on Cady.
As Nunamaker handed Cady his
chest protector, he said: “Go and do
the best you can. I will be ready again
in a few days.”
Huh! replied Cady. "By the time
you are ready Stahl won’t know he
has any catcher exeent Carrigan and
me."
Rather egotistic, but true neverthe
less. Cady has been a first stringer
ever since. Handling Joe Wood’s de
livery so eaapbly, Cady was perma
nently assigned to catch Smoky Joe.
His final bit of recognition came
when he was picked to catch Bedient
in Saturday’s game. Carrigan having
been Bedient's receiver in the Amerl
can league games. So from third catch
er to first catcher has been Cady’s jump
in one season.
COAST COLLEGES TAKE
UP AMERICAN FOOTBALL
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16 —The Pa
cific coast colleges are passing up all
forms of football except the American
game, after experiments with soccer,
rugby and other brands. The presi
dents of Pomona. University of Red
lands, Whittier and Occidental colleges
have, agreed that the American game of
football will be Hie football game in
their institutions. This is settled for
the coming years, and these colleges
deprecate any talk about there being a
change.
For some time President Baer has
been known as a strong advocate for
the American game under the new re
vised rules, and, taking the matter up
with his fellow college presidents, has
received favorable answers.
President Thomas Newlin, of Whit
tier college, says: “You know that I
have always been a strong advocate of
the American game. I believe the ten
dency is now to return to the American
game. Very soon after I received you?
letter I laid the whole matter before
the faculty and student body, and a
motion was made to authorize me to
make the statement that we would play
the American game next year and have
no idea of changing."
BASEBAL LNOTES.
Well, who’se the hero of the world’s
series now? Apparently it hasn't been
Bakerized.
♦ * ♦
Mighty little has been said about ticket
Jcalping this year. Can ft possibly be
that there wasn’t much!
If O’Toole does a "Marquard" for Pitts
burg next year the Pirates will mighty
near win the pennant in the National
league.
» ♦ ♦
The Giants were the best of a rum lot
in the National league—and that was all
you could say for them this year.
SECRET PRACTICE
ON TAP.NDIN AT
GEORGIA
ATHENS. GA., Oct. 16.—The Geor
gia team held its first piactice of
the week yesterday behind closed
gates and secret practice will be the
order of the week at Sanford field pre
paratory to tlie game with Vanderbilt
at Atlanta Saturday.
Coach Cunningham today put his
warriors through a stiff signal drill and
scrimmage and he is building up a new
defense for the Vandy game.
The Georgia coach is familiar with the
McGugin style of play and he is per
fecting his formations accordingly.
Georgia supporters and rooters will
invade Atlanta Saturday 500 strong. A
special train will be run over the Sea
board and the faculty has given the
students permission to attend. The
cadet band will head the delegation.
Henderson Only Invalid,
The team will have a light scrim
mage this afternoon, which will be the
last of the week. All of the varsity
players, with the exception of Hender
son. will be ready for the fray, while it
is possible that the former Gordon star
will get into the battle. He suffered a
sprained knee in the Citadel game Sat
urday.
Should Henderson fail to round into
condition this will necessitate the shift
ing of Covington to center and Awtrey,
who showed such sensational form
against Citadel, will take up the burden
at quarterback.
Georgia students and supporters fully
realize the strength of the Vanderbilt
team, but by no means concede the vic
tory to the Commodores.
Georgia players are going into the
fray in a "do or die” spirit and while
making no boasts, they believe that the
Red and Black will be returned the
winner.
Georgians Will Be Fit.
Cunningham is working his head off
to get the men to the highest stage of
efficiency and in this he is meeting with
fair success. At any rate, w’hen the
referee's whistle calls the men to ac
tion Saturday the Commodores will
face one of the most determined
bunches of football players that ever
stepped on a Southern gridiron.
While the Vanderbilt backfield is
conceded to have the edg as a whole,
local enthusiasts believe the Red and
Black line to be the strongest in the
history of the school and believe that
it will carry the edge over the Ten
nesseeans.
The Georgia team has not this season
put forth its full strength, but in the
game Saturday the Commodores will
oppose the best that Georgia boasts
and many are of the opinion that vic
tory will perch on the flag staff of the
Red and Black.

BLOOMINGTON. ILL., Oct. 16
“Three I" league 'magnates, at their
annual meeting in Chicago this week,

league a knockout blow when they re
fused to waive territorial rights and

Davenport, a "Three I” member, being
affected.
It will be difficult for the promoters of
the new league to make any progress

was planned to select six cities in lowa,
and the two in Illinois, and the loss of
the latter will likely mark the finish of
the movement.

F. YOST THIS SEASON
ANN ARBOR, MICH., Oct. 16.—Backed
by the new rules, “Hurry-Up" Yost is
going to have a big “Meechigan" football
year. The old style of play that made
the famous Michigan coach and his teams
known from one end of the continent to
the other is back for good. At least, the
exhibitions of the Wolverine football
team so far this fall make it seem that
way.
Michigan has not used any new tangled
plays in her two games and it doesn’t
look as if it were going to. Further than
that, the forward pass is about the only
play that has been worked w hich does not
date from way back before the rules were
revised in 1905. Straight football, not
open plays, but the old game of hitting
the line hard and low, has been the Wolv
erine standby so far this season. Two of
the touchdowns in the M. A. C. game
came by a series of such attacks.

There is a reason to believe that a new

Youngstown, Canton and Erie. It is
along the northern and eastern lines of
the twelve-club circuit of the past sea

in the southeast territory and Terre.

in a desirable location as to Youngs
