WW' Stirring Football Promised in Vandy-Georgia Battle at Ponce Tomorrow GAME MAY DECIDE THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOUTH By [’( r<-\ 11. Whiting. rrxHE Vanrlerbjit mini Is here, I under the stalwart chap eronage of H.ea<l *'<>a<h ban MeGugin and Assistant *’oac!res Dr. .Maniei and Stein" Smite. The Georgia team will be her. in good time tomorrow morning’. Goal poets have hern erected at Pom® DeLeon perk and the field has been marked off in the conventional gridiron pattern. In fact, the stage is all set for what should be the greatest foot ball battle that Atlanta has ever •een. This game marks the strongest bid that a Georgia team has be.-n able to make in the bm ten y<ms or mote for tht elmmpmns.ilp of the South. Georgia has been gaining football strength steadf'x for three years. This year it is stronger than it Iras been in years stronger pet hape than it has ever be. u before in all its history. It lias a "first" team of husky, experienced foot ball players, and it has substitutes of the most unusual ability. It has been well coached by Head t'oaeh Alec Cunningham and by his assistant, Howard Keti'on. If ever a Georgia team had a chance for the championship, this is the t ea m. And if ever the time was ripe for a Georgia team to win a cham pionship. Saturday is the time. Is Vandy So Strong? The Vanderbilt team, chronic champions of the South, are tout ed this year as being exceptionally strong. Possibly they are Their early scores show it. and they rolled up a greater tolal of pointe in their first three games than any other team In the i'nited States Yet experts are still to lie shown! Vanderbilt had a good team last year, one of the best In Its history. Rut ,it lost from hist year’s eleven three of Its very best men. three of the best men who ever played In the South—Ray Morrison. "Bl* i'n" Freeland and "Frog" Metz ger. Not event the most rampant Vanderbilt enthusiast ciaims that their places have been even half way filled. True, the other men on the team have rounded out. and It Is a smooth aggregation. But it can not possibly be as strong now as the Vanderbilt team of 1911. On the other hand. Georgia should he right now stronger than any Athens team of recent football history . 'I he material is there. The coach is there The men have been well handled and well condi tioned. Certainly this team is ma terially stronger than the one which last y cat's strong Vanderbilt eleven defeated. Os course, no sane dopester would actually tom Georgia as the winner Our own opinion is that Vanderbilt will win. At the same time every student of the game feels that on Saturday afternoon the Gold and Black team will get one of the toughxft sts of all its long hiMory South's Best Game Sure. It looks like the greatest game of the yeat in Dixie, 'inly three other contests compare with it the Vanderoiit-Vi>ginia. the Van derbilt-Aunmn and the Vanderbilt- Sewanee contests.

Judged by the irttiTest displayed in the game, the crowd which will witness it will be one of the largest that ever saw a football game in Atlanta. The football "STIFF-ARM” WILL BE MUCH USED THIS YEAR By Monty. New York, oct is rhe fa mous "stiff arm." one of the greatest offensive plays in all football, and one of the least trn d -Istood, seems likely' to be mighty popular this year, and of greater usefulness than ever before. The efficient, use of the stiff arm by Yale’s famous player, Walter Vamp. Jr. has done as much as anything else to bring the play \lnto prominence Camp Goes Either Way. Like other experts with lite stiff atm. t’ump uses the arm to lite right and the turn Io the left, but he uses it just long enough to get (lie defensive back in tire habit of looking, for it Then he changes his tactics when the opportunity presents itself, and, taking the tackler by surprise, throws him straight across in front of his own body, and. swerving sharply In the direction in which the arm was first used, continues on his original course. Cleverly used—and (’amp is clever with if*—that maneuver is baffling in the extreme, and some of the best tacklers are fooled by 11. The method takes account of the natural brace and shift of wetglit to meet tlte customary stiff arm. and as a result the tackler Is.taken oft itis balance and some times rather easily thrown across It Is next to impossible to get under the "him. and most coaches teach the tackler to break through ft, with the chest at the same time thrown across tile runner's legs, but with a shifty , long striding back of the Vamp var iety the perfect tar klb is not always possible, apd the de fensive player must trail his man as host he r an. "Stiff Arm" Not Slugging. It would be a good plan, perhaps, to explain right here that in the minds of those who tree not skilled In the intricacies of footbail the stiff arm is often confused with slugging tactics. Groansand hisses are often heard in the stand when a tackler is staved off by the stiff arm. The trick as all football inen know, is done with the open hand against the head or shoulder of the tackler, and the very tern; "stiff arm" precludes the possibility of a blow. Rough players it is true, have used the doubled-up fist on more than one occasion, but this is hardly enough to r tmflemn the le gitimate use of one of the prettiest maneuvers in the game. in tire old days there was a for in of stiff arm used on the de sense that had as much .<» any thing to d<> with the abolition of hurdling. Spirit; Ellis of Ila I\ar d. Weekes of < 'oiurnbhr. amt a host of others will remember it well. In those ria's tin hurdler rose up on the backs of his Interference, and as th, pile was pulled down, shot on over the mess f or his distance. It was an effective, if dangerous, play and for a lime was used all over the country. How Hurdling Was Blocked. , Thon tht defense found a solu tion. as is th® custom of the de fense. ind it was this solution that j helped mirk the end of hurdling. I As th- hum c r rose the backs -THETtTLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY. OCTOBER 18. 1912. fans ar, wise Io the fact that this will Ire one of THE contests of the year, and they are apparently all making their plans to be out for the excitement. There is much disappointment among local motorists over the rule forbidding any motor rars on the side lines. Tltf reason for mak ing this rule is evident enough, hut those who have watched the games from their own machines are keenly regretful that it has been passed. of his interference, ,his head came up into, the open, and a defensive back wife told off to do nothing but meet the runner's chin with the stiff; arm. Thig process threw the limner's head back sharply, even though it was not a blow, and re sulted now and then in a set ions Injury Just why nobody was per manently hurl in the proeess'np one knows to this‘day. Open field hurdling meant, of. etmi’se, that the tackler ran the risk of being kicked in the face, but. after all. lire defensive stiff arm was one of the most danger* ous features of the hurdling meth od. These old tricks of the game, fortunately, have been abolished, and the stiff arm is once more what it was original.; intended to be a perfectly legitimate aid to tire runner'. So important was rhe stiff arm considered at Princeton last year, where the runners were fast but light, that the coaches set a series of posts in the ground at irregular intervals, their padded tops at just about the height of a tackler’s head. In and out between these posts the backs were run. each man giving the stiff arm 10 every post. It was something like the schooling of polo ponies between -lakes. Tlie result was apparent ear ly in tile season, for the Prime ton barks did better w ork with the stiff arm than did the runners on any other team. BOYS HI AND G. M. A. TIE UP IK GRID GAME The Boys High school football team will make its 1912 preyi league debut against tire Georgia .Military academy this afternoon at G, M. A. Both teams regard this as a heavy game, and have been working earnestly of late. Although the G.

Danied E. MeGugin. attorney at law. prominent citizen of Nash ville. and prime mover in some of the largest business enterprises in the entire South, is not so well known. There was a time, in 1904, when a new coach came to Vanderbilt. That was the last new' one, up to the present and into the future, for he lias been there ever since. He came out of the West, whereas Vanderbilt coaches had been com ing from the East. He was young, and just out of eollegrx He Jxnew no one in Nashville, and the South had never heard of him to any ex tent. Even the spelling of his name was a. sort of stumbling block to the sporting writers, and some of them made him "McGul gpn." In 1903 Vanderbilt had had a fairly good average team. It had beaten Sewanee by one scratch touchdown, but had lost to Cum berland in the first game of the season and was hopelessly tied up with three oilier teams for the championship at the end. Before the season of 1904 was half gone, the men that journeyed up to Nashville to play Vanderbilt went home with strange stories of a race of long, rangy men that moved terrible swiftness about their- w or k of piling up scores. That was where MeGugin had come in. MeGugin Born in lovva. From that day to this MeGugin has been known of all Southern football, but even yet the football follower knows very little about the other side of MeGugin. His his tory is brief, but crowded with the tilings he lias done. He was born in Tingley, la., 33 years ago. He received his fiterary education at Drake university. Des Moines, la., arid incidentally took up his foot ball education. He played on the Drake team two years, and made a reputation as a lineman that ex tended over the middle West. His law course was taken at the great Michigan law school, and there, under "Hurry t’p” Yost, Ire received the finishing touches on his football tra’ining, as well as his legal learning. He played two years on the big Michigan teams of 1901 and 1902, and in 1903, being then in his senior year, and hav ing played out his allotted span of collegiate football, he turned in and helped Yost develop that team. In 1904 he came South, spending the football season in Nashville and the rest of the year in Detroit, where he practiced law. More and more his interests became South ern. however, and especially his in ter, -t in the Nashville girl who be came Mrs. MeGugin. Finally, two years after coming to Vanderbilt, he signed as athletic director for the entire year, and in addition to no tching look on the w or k of teach ing a eltrss In constitutional law. r’oach MeGugin is also Professor MeGugin Dan Becomes a Southerner. He o|>ened a law ottice in Nash vill,. and. unlike some lawyers who open ottii es. also began to practice. Nashville people found that be knew law and could practice it just as lie knew football and could teach it. He not ,mly became prominent in the legal wold of Nashville, but became interested in the project for the development of Tenrtessees enm molts water [rower. He was as sociated in this with Fielding Yost, his old football instructor, who. by the way. is now his brother-in-law a« well, and between them they succeeded hi organizing the Ten nessee Power Gojupany, a $20.0*10.- oiiii corporation, which is running transmission lines from three great plant’ on the Ocoee river. In East Tennessee, and the Great Falls of the r’aney Fork to towns all over Tennessee, These line* will he open and in operation in a few mont iis. Georgia's Assistant Coach, Former Star Player, Compares Two Teams KETRON HINTS GEORGIA HAS CHANCE FOR TITLE By Harold W. Ketron. (Assistant Coach of the Georgia Team.) Athens, ga.. oct. is.—The one absorbing question In Athens and all Georgia, and especially to Georgia alumni. “Has Georgia a chance to win from Van derbilt tn Atlanta Saturday?” I have been asked this question both in person and by letter so many times that it has really be come monotonous. 1 have used various and sundry answers and have led myself to believe that after fourteen years of wanderijng in the wilderness a Georgia eleven at last stands in sight of the promised land. I do not mean by this that Geor gia will win from Vanderbilt, neither' do 1 mean that the Commo dores will have so much edge as has been predicted by certain foot ball authorities in the South. If 1 were called upon for a criti cism of former Georgia football teams. 1 would unhesitatingly r-ay, Our former poor showings, say be tween 1898 and 1911. must be at tributed to Georgia’s annual change of coaches and training system I he result of these changes have prevented the varsity teams from having first-class substitutes and scrub teams from which to draw. Nice Boost For Cunningham. With the coming of Alex Cun ningham in 1910, Georgia at last solved the question of the coach ing system and found the right man for* the place. Too much praise, can not be given this grand little' football wizard for rhe work he has accomplished with the Georgia ma terial in the past three years. The secret of Cunningham’s success has been his alvjlity to keep the men in splendid physical condition, aj, the same time by his remarkable per sonality. securing from the play- i The Globe Clothing Co. | The Globe Clothing Co. | The Globe Clothing Co. « We've Printed It In Large Type, So f 1 !;!

How Teams Compare. We are told that Vanderbilt will average 170 pounds to the man. Rather singular that Georgia should average I*l9 pounds per man. Therefore, there can be no edge in weight. Georgia's will per haps have the shade in weight on Vanderbilt's wing men. In expe rience they should be about on a par. Since my attention has been directed to Georgia's line, I will re frain from an opinion of it except that the players have the weight, gray matter, nerve and experience. Both teams have new ' quarter backs and in this department there should not be very much edge. This brings us to a discussion as to the merits of the backfields. From all reports. Vanderbilt must be ex ceedingly strong in this depart ment. Should it be a “dog-fall’’ up to this point. 1 feel no hesitancy in predicting that Georgia will be properly taken care of here, Should the work of Wheatley and Paddock be anywhere In the class of that of Sikes and Collins and the battle proper be put up to McWhorter and Hardage. no ’Georgia sup porter need worry as to the out come. McWhorter Best of All. Having seen most of the back field jnen irTthe South for some eight or ten year's, also having seen players like Hollenbach, of Penn- sylvania: Wendell, of Harvard. Camp, of Yale, and Pendleton, of Princeton, I am frank to say I be lieve Bob McWhorter is the equal, if not the superior, of any of them. I presume both teams will use the open style of play in the con test Saturday and in this event the spectators will have the opportun ity of watching individual work and may judge for themselves At any rate, there is sure to be some lively doings when the teams min gle. SOX AND CUBS MEET IN NINTH CONTEST TODAY CHICAGO, Oct. 18. — Before the sur was up today, a long line of eager sane formed before the gates at the White Sox baseball park, awaiting a chance to buy tickets to the final and deciding game of the city series. Walsh and Lavender were the pitch ers picked by the opposing teams, and upon their work the followers based their hopes of victory. Out of eight games played, each team has won three and tied twice. After the game between the teams Thursday, thousands of fans rushed from the West Side to the Sox grounds, clamoring for tickets for to day’s game. The fight for tickets last ed long after dark.

Kelley sent Dauss, who was h - one best bet with the Saints this year, to Detroit just before the season closed, where he had tryout with th' Tigers. In case Jennings decides not to keep Dauss, it is regarded aS a certainty that he will come here.
