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 ing punter and seems able to han dle the ball well, whether It is wet or drj. In this department Har vard will have a tremendous ad 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 any two broken-field runners as SON'TN£GtECrCATAWM Even in its early stages Catarrh is a most distressing complaint, known by its symptoms of stuffy feeling in the head and nose, roaring in the ears, mucus in the throat, difficult breathing, etc. When the blood be comes thoroughly polluted with c.itarrhal matter the inflammation extends to the bronchial tubes, causing hoarseness and often an aggravating cough, the stomach is affected, resulting in dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and grad- (sft , the inflamed membranes heal, all discharges cease ||nri every symptom of Catarrh passes away.

"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 ouy, centers. If these men can out charge and out-play Vanderbilt, then it's all off with the Commo dores. Southern football fans find it hard to forget that Vanderbilt tied Yale, tied the Navy and beat the Indians. th<> only three Eastern Johnny Fitzgerald, the fan-mayor of Boston, ha.s addressed letters to McGraw, to Mathewson ana to the Giants in gen era! congratulating them on their brave showing tn the world's series, of course, entirely by accident, the Boston news papers were allowed to hear of this Bum little advertiser, this Johnny. * * * When John McGraw and Hugh Jen nings appear in the same vaudeville act they will be playing on the same team for the first time in fourteen years.

Says the dean 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." cleaned out of Philadelphia baseball it would be a bully good thing for baseball. Charley Murphy was offered $1,000,000 tor the Cubs, but refused, and said he Would not sell for $3,000,000. Ah well the game's put up with him this long’ It can probably continue to do it.

EVERS MAY LET TINKER GO IF HE GETS DOOLAN 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 leal of some kind. If Tinker is to go I would like to have Mike Doolan. of the Philadelphia club, but I don't know if that can be arranged. "There is no chance for Frank Schulte Ito be traded. If 1 have anything to say he'll be playing right here next year. If Sheckaro can land a job as manager 1 I would be willing to let jjlm go."

TEGH SCORES ST WILL ON 50008 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 sistant Manager Hill and several Flor ida boys who are at Tech.

Johnny Evers WILL Manage Cubs Next Season +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ •?•-? +•+ 4.*+ 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 to touch second In the play of 1908. Murphy believes that though Ev ers is only 29 years old, thus mak 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 wet* brought together to discus* the matter at the opening of the city series, They spertt several 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 old # JVSHOES V ... r —| o© ' B leather JBO A/- jg/?O A D ST (ATLANTA 14 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.
