Upholding of South's Prestige Is Up to Vandy
By Percy 11. Whiting.
I- F the South is to be heard from
in football this year—heard
distinctly enough for every
body in America to know it is Dixie
making the noise, the duty of cre
ating the disturbance is clearly and
cleanly up to Vanderbilt.
One other Southern team had an
Eastern engagement this year be
sides Vanderbilt. That team was
V. P I. And the Virginia "Polys"
were tremendously trounced at
Princeton.
The only other fnter-sectlonal
game of Interest this year is that
between Harvard and Vanderbilt.
From indications seen at Ponce De-
Leon park Saturday the Commo
dore team could make ft Interest
ing for any eleven Unfortunately
for the McGuglnites, however, they
tackle on November 9 one of the
strongest teams that has ever rep
resented the Cambridge institution
and they tackle them at a time
when the Johnnj Harvards ujll
naturally be at the top of their
game.

THE Harvard team this year
seems a wonder. The game
last Saturday with Amherst was a
walkover—l 6 to o—and demon
strated that the Crimson team is
going full tilt. In this game the
Crimson showed better Interfer
ence and harder running than in
any previous game, and used good
judgment In following the ball and
first-class interference,
Harvard lias some exceptional
men this season Felton is a cork

vantage over Vanderbilt for the
Commodores are shy on punters
this year. Another good man at
Harvard, of whom not a great deal
has been heard. Is Gardner, who
plays quarter. This Is a level
headed, quick, cool performer and
one calculated to run the team with
judgment. Os course Harvard’s real
strength lies in its backs. Than
Captain Wendell there is not now
and seldom has been a better man.
He is a whale and one of the hard
est men to stop the game has ever
known. Hardwick. Rrtckley and
Bradlee are all brilliant backfield
men. Hardwick has proved him
self a good open field runner, but ft
no great line-plunger. If he can
get under way he is a hard man to
spill, but he is often nailed before
he is well started. Brickley is a
star drop-kicker.
Those who have seen Vander
bilt's backfield in action this year
are not much worried, but that the
Commodores can keep up their end
against any average team. Os
course Vanderbilt has no one man
who compares with Wendell, but it
is improbable that the Crimson ha

VANDERBILT TEAM

When McGugln was in Atlanta
Saturday lie was asked about the
Vanderbilt-Harvard game.
"You can’t tell much about it, ex
cept that Harvard has a tremen
dously strong team,'' said Dan.
"There is this about it, the Van
derbilt men will go to Cambridge
knowing that the whole South is
pulling ,for them—-that the football
of the whole South depend on
them. They will also feel that they
are just as good men as were ever
grown, and that they know just as
much football as anybody. This will
make a difference."
brilliant as Hardage and Collins.
If Harvard is to run up a credit
able score against Vanderbilt it
must do it by the strength of its
line —must show more power and
drive. And verily the Cambridge
men are strong in the line They
have fine material in Trumbull and
Pennock, guards; Hitchcock and
Storer, tackles, and Frothingham,
sub tackle; Felton and O'Brien,
ends, and Coolidge, sub end, and
Parmenter. Wigglesworth and Ain

charge and out-play Vanderbilt,
then it's all off with the Commo

VVALTER CAMP believes that

of football experts;
"The best attack will be the one
that combines shift players, which
will necessarily put the defense in
motion, with regular plays. In this
wax' not only' will plunges through
the line be effective, but also great
er effect will be given to the end or
the run outside tackle. If a team
allows its opponent to realize that
the attack is concentrated, and that
the plays all must start from a
comparatively small radius behind
the line, those opponents will close
up and render such a form of at
tack extremely' onerous and ex
hausting."

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.--Evers is already
discussing his plans for the Cub team
which he is to manage next year.
"I understood from my talk with
Murphy that 1 was to have the same
power in making trades that Chance had.
said Evers today. "I can not sax at this
time whether Tinker will be traded or
' not. I don't want to deprive Joe of a
chance to manage a club if he can get the
job. but there is no shortstop in the
league today that I want as much as I
want Tinker. If he goes to Cincinnati it
may have to be through a three-handed

would like to have Mike Doolan. of the

that can be arranged.

TEGH SCORES ST

AGGREGATION
THE Yellow Jackets wound up the
week's work Wednesday afternoon
with the hardest scrimmage of the
season, and if that scrimmage Is a fair
indication of what will be done Satur
day, Florida will not have as easy a
time defeating the Techites as they
imagine.
The varsity scored five touchdowns
on the scrubs, and most of the ground
gained was on .straight line bucks. Not
a single forward pass was pulled oft.
Team Has Several Cripples.
Moore is still out of the game, and
may not be able to play Saturday. This
will be a blow to Tech, as ..Moore is a
good ground gainer, plays well on de
fense, and is an all-around good man.
He is not definitely out of it yet. In
the next few days he may show an im
provement sufficient to warrant his
playing.
Cook has not been able to scrimmage
this week, on account of a slight "char
leyhorse, but will be in good shape b>
the time of the game, and will surely
play.
Loeb is still out on account of his an
kle, and may not be in condition by Sat
urday. Since he has been out Welchel
is playing the center place with good
results.
New Men Doing Well.
Goebel, from Savannah High school,
is playing one of the halves, and is
showing up well. He is a good line
bucker, and also runs with the ball in
good style.
Montague, who is captain of next
year's baseball team, is playing foot
ball this year and is sure to make a
regular place on the big team. He is
being played at tackle, and handles the
job in jam-up style. He is rather light
for a lineman, but he tackles hard and
charges low, and these qualities over
come his lack of weight.
As a whole, the team is working well
together, and with the remaining two
days for signal practice they should be
running as smooth as a top.
Tech Anxious To Win.
This game meaffe a great deal to the
Tech team, and Coach Heisman is spar
ing no pains to get the bunch primed
for the vent.
The team will leave Friday night at
8:30. in a special sleeper, and will be
accompanied by Professor Randle
Coach Heisman, Manager Porter, As

Johnny Evers WILL Manage Cubs Next Season

Owner Murphy Likens Him to “Muggsy” McGraw
By Edward J. Geiger.
CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Johnny
EVers, crack second baseman
of the Cubs and one of the
best sackers the game can boast of,
is to manage the West Side organ
ization during 1913. If no longer.
Charles W. Murphy, owner of
the Chicago National league club,
after a careful study of all the
available material for the manage
rial berth, set on the Trojan and
closed with th* fighting youngster.
This puts to rest all the guesswork
and mystery connected with the
question that has been in every
mouth, "Who will take Frank
Chance's place as the leader of the
Cubs?”
Murphy is not the author Os this
information, and he may deny the
above. Johnny Evers also may, for
he has been pledged to secrecy, but
no matter what stand either the
magnate or the player may take,
the above statement is true, and if
Murphy does not admit it now or
before November 1, the date on
which he says he will make the
name of the new manager public,
he will eventually confirm the
above.
Likens Evers te McGraw.
The Cube’ boss believes that in
Evers ne has a second John “Mugg
sy” McGraw, and the leader of the
New York Giants is his Ideal of a
manager. It Is chiefly because of
this that he selected Evers to man
age the Cubs next year, though this
■ is but one of his reasons.
Murphy is firmly of the belief
that Johnny is heart and soul in
the game, that he i« fighting for
the interests of the club at all times
and that when he is put out of the
play by the umpires it is not the
desire to have his say or to get into
the spotlight, but because he is
fighting to win. That's the stuff
that has made McGrAW - famous,
and that’s the stuff Murphy says
wins pennants and swells the box
office receipts.
John is popular with the fails
and player*, has youth, is a good
batter, fast on the bases and On
the field, and above all is a won
derfully fast thinker. This has
been iomethfng that Murphy has
admired in Evers for years, and it
has eventually brought its reward.
T>>e Cub owner argues tht_, he is a
good judge of players, has remark
ably good judgment and seems to
grasp critical situations the mo
ment they come up. And with all
his quickness of thought, Murphy
says Evers never leaps before he
looks. In other words, he always
thinks before he speaks, and once
he has spoken he is firm. He pos
sesses more than the average
amount of intelligence.
Merkle Play Aids Johnny,
Charles Webb has always been a
strong admirer Os Evers, and John
ny has been vefy friendlv with tue
boas. Two other things that stand
out prominently In Murphy's rea
sons for naming Evers are that it
was John who discovered Heine
Zimmerman, and his wonderful
quick thinking pow4r. Which help
ed win the pennant for the West
* Sidere when the Trojan discovered
that Merkle, of the Giants, failed

ing him the youngest manager in
either leigu*. he win feel th* weight
of the responsibility placed on his
shoulders and will handle the team
in a manner which 1* just to his
liking and that 1913 win see the
Cubs winners, fjvkre and Murphy

the matter at the opening of the

nours together since going over the
details.
Though satisfied that Johnny
SIX REASONS
WHY MURPHY
PICKED EVERS
NEAREST type of manager to
Muggsy McGraw.
QUICKEST thinker in baseball
game.
GOOD judgment of players, discov
erer of Zimmerman.
HEART and soul in club and always
fighting.
FAST man on bases and field and
grand hitter.
HAS youth and popularity and firm
mind.
would fill the requirements. Mur
phy xvanted to make sure that John
would live up to all agreements
and the questioning began. First,
Murphy wanted to know if Johnny
would move to Chicago so he could
be in touch with the boss the year
around. Charles is opposed to hav
ing a manager who spends the win
ter months away from the club. He
believes a manager should put in at
least 300 days of the year in the
interests of the organization.
Manager Must Be With Boss.
Then he wanted to assure him
self that Evers would look to his
interests more than those of the
players, making it clear, however,
that he did not want any of the
men slighted unless a slight was
necessary. He wanted to learn
whether EVers was indebted to
anybody on the team and if it be
came necessary, would he suspend
or fine Zimmerman and Archer just
as readily as the would Safer or
some other member of the club. All
these things Evers assured him of
and the pair shook hands and
closed the bargain.
Just what salary will go with the
job is not known, but this is a
minor detail. Evers is to put his
John Hancock to a five-year con
tract, but In the agreement Mur
phy reserves the right to displace
him as manager at the end of the
first year, should he fail to live up
to the boss’ ideas of a manager.
Full Sway For New Leader,
And with the taking hold of the
team, Evers has been given full
sway. There are no ropes tied to
him and he can sell or trade any
man on the team he sees fii. Os
course, this does not mean that he
could release Archer or the real
stars, but such talk is out of the
question. Evers is going to mak< a
desperate attempt to put over a
winner, and will let go only such
players who have outlived their
usefulness on the Cub team. But
some shifts are to be made, and it
is dollars to doughnuts that several
new faces will be seen in Cub uni
forms next year.
Evers has already decided to quit

Troy, N. Y., his home, and in all
probability will make a hurried trip
there to sell his belongings and
move here. His appointment as
manager does not in the least in
terfere with his friendship and ad
miration of Frank Chance and It is
believed that Evers may take
Chance's house in Ravenswood
It is- Murphy’s plan to get Evers
to take the youngsters of the team
to the spring camp a week or two
before the regulars and train them,
a system much in use by McGraw.
Strong For McGraw.
“They may censure Muggsy and
say a lot of things about him, but
be plays winning baseball and
draws the crowd and that’s what a
boss want%. I want tn give the
public the best baseball has, yet at
the same time I want my club to
be a financial winner.” Murphy is
said to have impressed on Johnny.
The new manager is to attend all
the baseball meetings and attend
all the draft gatherings.
Just how strong the stamp of
approval will come from the fans
is not known, but srince Chance is
out and can not be replaced, the
choice of Evers looks like a good
one. Chance has served his cause
well, has kept the Cubs in every
race and won four pennants and
two world's titles, and too much
tribute can not be voted the pass
ing of one of the greatest baseball
managers of the game knows.
