Oct. 26. \fter taking .stock of the Georgia game, it begins to ■o.o.rr that \arderbilt has a team this year that is surprising every - hotly, Vanderbilt im-ludec. Every year it Is the regular lament of tile I 'ommodore followers thai the team • an not possibly be As good as. last 'tars, but, generally speaking, the team is ‘bout the same, and usu al.’.- just a little better That was 'he case this year. i.oaing Ray Morrison, Big In” I’reehtt.d an.: Frog Metzfcer. All- American at u All-Southern stars, would be a 'erriflc setback to any team, but the present indications are that McGugin has successfully filled their p aces and that by the •nd of the season, at least, the team will be superior to that of last rear. I aking up that agglomeration of f act and fancy known as the grand old dope and looking at each place separately anti individually, we find that the team, while it may not present such a collection of stars, averages up stronger than that of i»n , Morgan Much Better. Bud Morgan played i enter both years. In 1911 he weighed 230 and this season he has trained down to 210. With the weight reduction has come a corresponding increase in playing power. At guards there is no Question 'hat the team is weaker than last season. Frog Metzger was a guard Saved By His Wife.

Every crack rider in the city lias en tered. and great rivalry exists between he amateurs. Eight events are slated luring the afterno</>i and some new records are likely to be hung up. Harry Glenn established a new track record yesterday in practice when, on inn Excelsior ‘Six” he negotiated the half-mile course in 34 seconds tlat. Harry expects to lower thia mark to day, but he will have to travel at top speed to do it. of the class that is found rarely in the South, and no man has b-en found to fill Ids place. However, from Covington, Swofford and Daves. McGugin will pick a pair that will average up clo-e to the pair of last year Remarkable as it may sound. Vanderbilt has found a man to tiil Big In" Freeland’s shoes. His name is Shipp, He is a bett<*l man than Freeland physically heavier, rangier and faster. He lacks Free land s experience and oleverficss at diagnosing the pla. s of the opposi tion, but today' he is practically as good a tackle as Freeland. Tom Brown la back on Ids old job on the other end of the line, much im proved by age and experience. The dne is, on the whole, as good as last year's. On the ends there is a consid erable improvement. The ends play a peculiar part in McGugin's de fensive game, being used at smash ing interference. .Nuck Brown, the least man on the team, but one of the best ends Vanderbilt ever had. is back at his old wing and is smashing them better than ever. The other end is not yet settled, but however it turns out it will probably’ be stronger than last year. I timer has held the place through the early iseason, but during the past week MeGugin has oeen trying Milholland, a California boy of much promise, and Sikes, fullback, as alternating end and full. It la probable that this arrangement will be tried otd in the Mississippi game. Last year the back field consist ed of Ray- Morrison and three other men. all of them playing their first y ear on the team. The three others are all back and. without excep tion. have shown remarkable im provement. Hardage, Sikes and Collins form the speediest trio Van derbilt has ever had. ami they work together with a precision that is baffling to the enemy Curlin who is holding down tin quarterback lob, is no Ray’ Morrison, of course but he is better than the average while the entire beek field a si h whole probably stands above rh a t of last yeax , ■ , •' ■—— . _ _ ■ ■ . _ ■ _ _ t -I J .

' I ’HE team*- of Dixie are kidding I themselves this afternoon lot the last time this season. With the contests slated for todav out of the way they will settle down to the sterner things of life— and to the dreaded November game--. And this reminds its of a kick. Os course. Tech is entitled to schedule games any old place and anv old time. But if the Jackets are again to leave an open Satur day in the latter end of October it is gently suggested to the Univer sity of Georgia that they play here in Tech’s open time. Think of At lanta gameless on an October Sat day afternoon! It’s a crime. Georgia is playing in Columbus. Ga.. this afternoon. Foolish! The Athenians might better be playing in Atlanta, where the crowds give up real money Io see football games. And. speaking of that, it strikes us as rather doubtful policy on the part of the Tech atliMtic authori ties to give up Ponce DeLeon park, so long as they hold that they can !;eep other football teams out of the city. But next year Tech will play at the flats and the Atlanta Baseball association will be at, lib erty- to schedule any games it wants to at Poncey. Suppose Georgia should transfer a couple of games there and suppose A T anderbilt should take a notion to play' Vir ginia there—it would certainly play the wild with Tech’s gate re ceipts The Tech team is never destined to be very strong. It therefore behooves the Tech ath letic authorities to keep the town pretty well bottled up. lest some stronger team take up athletic headquarters here ami win the Jackets’ patronage away from them ♦ of which is more or less be side the point. What we start ed out to say is that practice g-ames end with today’s struggles. The games of November are all real contests. Atlanta gs Is some good ones and there will be good ones played all over the South. Os course, Vanderbilt's unexpected ex cellence has knocked the race for •the S. I. A.

With Walter Eekersall, Chicago, the W est s greatest quarter back, as ref eree, and Tr'd t'oy. Yale, the East's greatest full back, as umpire, the Van derbilt-Virginia game, one of the de ciding Southern championship battles, to be played in Nashville November 2, will be illustrious Hom the officials’ standpoint, at least.

After a severance of athletic relations for six years r Sewanee and Tennessee, two Tennessee members of the three in the Southern Intercollegiate Ath letic association, meet in this citv to day in a battle that will have a direct bearing on the state championship. In other days Sewanee had the ’edge" on the eleven from Knoxville, and has six victories over Tennessee to one defeat already’ on the records, but Tennessee has a splendid team this season, and the Vols are picked to give the Tigers strenuous resistance. WOLGAST GETS ONLY DRAW IN BATTLE WITH DANIELS QLTNCY. ILL.. Oct. 26.—Freddie Daniels, of St. Joeeph. Mo., fought Ad Wolgast. lightweight champion of the world, to a draw in a tame six-round bout, according to fans reviewing the battl? today. Wolgast apparently did not exert himself, although displacing flashes of in-flghting. The fifth round was Daniels’ best, when he landed hard on the face and followed it with a left to the head, left and right to the neck and two stiff 'rights to toe head. Atlanta Football Fans Treated Badly by Yellow Jackets' Schedule TECH ELEVEN SHOULD BE PLAVINfi AT HOME TODAY brain and not an over-abundance of praise that did the work. It is recorded that somebody once said to Jim Delehanty: "’Jim. do you think the use of a spit ball spoils a young pitcher?” “Naw.” said Jim. ’Well, how’s that?" he was a.-ked. Well, it’s this way,” said Jim. If they had any brains they wouldn’t use it; and since they haven’t nothing makes any differ ence." That’s the «av with those foot ball players who puff up. If they had any brain their head wouldn’t swell so as a result of a little praise. And since they haven’t, what’s the odds? * * * r~'OACH YOST has announced that he will not hold any more secret practice on Ferry field this season. If there is any more confi dential work to be done it will be done in the gymnasium. This is in line with progress. Secret practice is largely bunk, for a couple of reasons. In the first place, there isn’t one field in a hundred where the prac tice can be kept really secret. Any body who wants to find out what is going on can usually do it without the aid of any detective agency In the second place, nine-tenths of the secret practice is just pure bunk, hocus pocus, and self-fllm flamming. Anybody who has followed foot ball for ten minutes or more knows that mighty few games are won on crick plays. And surely that Is all a team is supposed to learn by secret practice—trick plays and freak for mations and such. What wins games is speed, strength, team work, hard charging, good dodging, courage, determination and luck. Trick plays don’t cut any figure once in ten years. You could take ail toe stuff that was ever learned in all the secret practices ever held and Yale couldn’t win a single game from Princeton with it— not if Old Nassau was having the luck. Secrecy is bunk in football. Therefore, the less of it the better. These college men take themselves seriously enough as it is, without any encouragement from their coaches. * « * J N an effort to rescue the Cornell team from its present ghastly slump many things are being done and among them a series of mov ing pictures have been taken of the team in action.

No Georgia playet could look at it without realizing one of the crying weaknesses of the team and without seeing that there were men who should have been in the play who weren’t within blocks of it. If the moving pictures ever get a little less costly it would not be surprising if many teams used them regularly in an effort to study and illustrate their weak nesses. - U-’-otlwK Mitchell and Ford to Open Boxing Season at Staten’s Club Tuesday •Harry staten has arranged a card for the opening show of his boxing club on next Tuesday that ought to furnish plenty high sport. He has secured Barney Ford, of Philadelphia. and Terry Mitchell, of New York, two husky welterweights, for the main bout. Mitchell is one of those fighters who loves to trade slams, while Ford is a clever boxer with a fair kick. A boxer and a fighter always put up a good mill, and Staten believes this one will prove no exception. Mitchell claims victories over Young McCarthy, Honey Mellody, Jack Mc- Carron and A! Dewey, while the record Ford has sent Staten shows him to .have beaten Ed Givins and Unk Rus sell, and gives him a draw with clever i'oung Erne, Philadelphia’s best boxer. Eddie Hanlon and Charley Collins will mix it in the semi-windup. A bat tle royal and a six-round go between two colored pugs will round out the opening bill.

And., of course, the team that pulled it off was one coached by the prince of coaches. Dan McGugin. This was the greatest play I ever saw. It turned an almost certain defeat into a victory, and brought the great crow d on Dud lev field to its feet in a body, cheering like mad. At Sewanee two seasons ago. however. I witnessed a play that happened under very peculiar cir cumstances and will probably never be duplicated. The University of Georgia team, which I was coach ing, was playing Sewanee at the time. Just before the game the rain, which had been falling all of the morning, ceased, and. save for a muddy’ field, the weather conditions were favorable fpr pulling off a good game. 1 About ten minutes after the start of the game, a heavy fog settled on the field.

He picked It up and staffed back down the field, butting tnte the side-line near the place wh«pe Harris Cope, the Sewanee ooaoh. was standing. A Sewanee man appeared In front of him and-he dodged, tacking to ward the Georgia side-line, where the Georgia coach saw him. From this point on he was lost to view. Both coaches were anxious to find out what had happened and ran up the sidelines to the goal. Back of the Sewanee goal line they found McWhorter with the ball.
