HARVARD LISTENS TO
PURRING OF TIGERS
CAMBRIDGE. MASS., Oct. 31.
—Harvard and Princeton, two
teams that handed
two aspiring elevensjor 1912 cham
pionship honors rude, hard jolts last
Saturday, are due to meet this Sat
urday in the stadium in what, from
all indications, should prove one of
the greatest contests of the season.
The Crimson, emerging from its
game with Brown triumphant, 30 to
10. looks most formidable, and the
followers of the eleven are confi
dent of victory.
Down in Princeton, after tram
pling Dartmouth under foot 22 to 7.
the Tiger is purring with satisfac
tion and is sure that its trip into
the enemy's territory Saturday will
be highly successful.
The undergraduates are howling
for a win by a greater margin than
last year, when Harvard was sent
home defeated by a score of 8 to 6.
It will be the first time that
Princeton has come to Cambridge
for sixteen years, their last trip re
sulting in an Orange and Black vic
tory, 12 to 0.
Harvard, like Dartmouth, will
outweigh the Princeton eleven, and

Fusilliers shot two field goals in the

of their points being made by free shots.
The small score of the Fusilliers was
largely due to the work of the Horse
Guard’s sensational guard, Graves.

small margin. 34 to 22. The Grays led
at the end of the first half by three
points. 17 to 14. Although the Marist
team was strengthened by two of the
best players of the Atlanta Athletic
club. Jim Harrison and "Sis” Falvey.
the Marist team was unable to win the
game. Harrison played a great game,
scoring 10 of Marist’s 22 points, and
blocking many, sure goals.
HARVARD TEAM PLAYS
AGAINST 11 VETERANS
CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Oct. 31.—Harv
ard is preparing for Saturday’s game with
Princeton with an old-fashioned football
scrimmage between the first and second
teams. This afternoon’s scrimmaging
called for a second team composed of
veterans who have been coaching the
eleven. This was in order to harden the
first string players. All of the cripples
are now back in the game and the coaches
declare that they are fit to go against
the game at any time.

again the game will revolve around
the question of whether a light
ning-like attack will get the best of
beef and brawn.
Critics who saw the Dartmouth-
Princeton game say that the Han
over team was simply weighty and
that unthinking brawn proved that
it wasn’t‘worth much in football.
Princeton will find the Crimson
team an entirely different proposi
tion. It will find the brawn, but it
will find an eleven fast on both the
offense and defense, quick to diag
nos.e plays and with a variety of
attack.
Dartmouth against Princeton in
dicated that it had not awoke to a
knowledge of how to use its re
markable innate power.
Tlie Dartmouth forwards towered
ov«r- those of Nassau, but did too
much towering and not enough of
getting down to business either on
attack or defense, so that the
“jump” was wit'u Princetos
throughout the game.
Princeton will without a doubt
play the same kind of a game
against Harvard as against Dart
mouth. relying on getting that
“jump.”
CHAS. HEMPHILL MAY
SUCCEED PHILLIPS AS
YOUNGSTOWN MOGUL
Charley Hemphill, deposed as At
lanta's manager in mid-season, may
lead the Youngstown club nestt year,
taking the place of Bill Phillips, former
New. Orleans pitcher.
Hemphill Is now in Youngstown. He
says that he is not an applicant for the
job and will not be as long as Phillips
is in the position.
Just now the former Cracker mana
ger is the, property of the Columbus
club. A fact not generally known here
is that Columbus took him with re
luctance and that they fought the mat
ter clear to the national commission
before they paid the $1,500 they agreed
to give the local association.
Hemphill reported to Columbus in
bad condition and his behavior at that
time makes it doubtful if the American
assoeation team will try to make use of
him
BRESNAHAN GETS “CAN;”
IS SICK AT ST. LOUIS
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 31.—Roger Bresna
han has been released unconditionally
by the Cardinals, and official notifica
tion of the fact forwarded to President
Lynch, of the National league. As soon
as the release is officially promulgated,
if it ever is. Roger becomes a free
agent.
Roger's five-year contract with the
St. Louis club, however, is something
the court of the National league will
have to straighten out. This contract is
an exact copy of the contract Roger
signed with the St. Louis club when he
came here in 1909, with ua additional
clause covering the ten per cent share
of the club’s profit.
A lawyer who has seen the document
said that if it did not stick no ball
player’s contract is worth the paper it
is written on.
Bresnahan is ill at the Planters hotel
with a bad cold.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWIS.THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1912.
Spick Hall Picks an All-Time Vanderbilt Team
His Commodore Eleven Sure Would Be a Bearcat
SPICK HALL, one of the leading
football critics of the South,
who has seen every Vander
bilt team since 1893 in action, and
who has played on two of them
picks an all-Vanderbilt all-time
team for The Georgian. His selec
tion and his reasons follow:
By Snick Hall.
IT has been the rare fortune of
the writer to have witnessed
the majority of the games
played by Vanderbilt teams since
1893, and in those years to have
been personally acquainted with
more than a majority of the play
ers. Before ijiaking my selection. I
have consulted a number of men
who have’been fallowing the for
tunes of Vanderbilt elevens since
the beginning.
Choosing a team of this charac
ter offers many points different
from selecting an all-American, all-
Southern or all-sectional team. In
these latter’ cases the men are
judged by what they have done in
their big games of the year. They
play under the same rules, for
the most part their style of play is
the same.
But in choosing an all-time team
there is a great handicapping fea
ture. For instance, could a given
end of 1895 handle a forward pass
as well as the given end in 1912?
Or could the given fullback of 1912
hurdle as well as the given full
back of 1895? In other words, the
only method of selecting the team
is to judge as nearly as possible
how fit a certain player would be
under all the various rules of the
past twenty years.
From the time when Vanderbilt
and Sewanee used to play two and
three games of football each year
until the present day the Nashville
institution has been peculiaily for
tunate in having splendid material
from which to build strong elevens.
There have been years, of course,
when the Commodores were weak,
but they have been so scant that in
making an average they are scarce
ly perceptible. There have been so
many star players at Vanderbilt
that before we give reasons for our
selection of a first and second team
let it be understood that space will
not permit even the mention of
many players who were far above
the average in all-around playing
ability.
Morrison Best Quarter.
The quarterback is the general of
the football team, hence let this
position be attended to first. It so
happens that in selecting an all
time quarterback from Vanderbilt
players the task has been lightened
to almost zero by tne appearance
on the Vanderbilt teams of Ray
Morrison. Mechanically, according
to many, he has had few equals in
the game in the United States and
no superiors. He ran with the ball
with rabbit-like alacrity; his run
ning was not confined to any one
position. He ran equally well from
his regular place, from kick-off.
from the punt receiving position, or
from anywhere else. His tackling
was sure and hard. He punted well,
passed perfectly and inspired his
team with the greatest confidence.
As a field general there is only one
man who may take his laurels
among Vanderbilt quarterbacks—
Frank Kyle. Kyle has been chosen
for the second team rather than the
first, because in the mechanical
part of the work he did not com
pare with Morrison.
On the Ends.
There is one man who played on
end at Vanderbilt who is deemed by
a great many to have been the best
all-around football man the Com
modores ever had. This is Bob
Blake. In nearly every year of his
career Blake was mentioned by
some writer as all-American cali
ber, and if he had been a member
of a Yale team in any or all his
four years he would doubtless have

such stars, as Captain Chambers

Harry Howe.’ Stringfield. Walter
Simmons. Eld Hamilton. Enoch
Brown and Howard Boogber. To
the last mentioned we are inclined
to give the place. Boogber was a

mous 1897 championship team. For
our second team. Captain Cham

The Fullback
Owsley Manier.gets the plum lor
fullback. His ability was marked
to such an extreme that he easily
made one f>f the best teams the
University of Pennsylvania ever
turned out, under the captaincy of
the famous Bill Hollenback. While
at Vanderbilt Manier gained a rep
utation as a line plunger never
equalled in the South. In 1906 he
ripped through one of Fielding
Yost’s best elevens as though the
line had been paper. Against the
Carlisle Indians he made more
ground than any other Vanderbilt
man.
The second choice for fullback is
John Edgerton, a plunger of as
great power as Manier. but not so
good in a broken field.
The Halfbacks.
Vanderbilt has surely had her
share of the great halfbacks. There
ire so many men from whom to
choose that it is splitting hairs
to put one above another, yet we
make the stab by placing John
Craig and Phil Connell in the first
two positions, with Lewie Hard
age and Vincent Campbell in the
second. Both Craig and Connell
played four years on Vanderbilt
teams, while Hardage at the close
of the present year will have had
but two and Campbell played only
one. Phil Connell was probably the
greatest of all the stiff-arm run
ners at Vanderbilt. He was fast,
shifty, side-stepped well, and at
the same time had fine driving
power. He was almost immune
from injury and as a punter, drop
and placement kicker he has never
had a superior.
John Craig, as a ground gainer,
was superb. He handled himself
very much as Hardage does. Both
men use the sidestep and straight-

arm, and both are hard to throw.
As a purely ground-gaining propo
sition there is nothing to choose
between them, but Craig has an
advantage on the defense and on
blocking. Vincent Campbel! might
have shown above the entire field
of Vanderbilt halfbacks had he re
mained longer, but his one year of
play puts him out of first place
honors.
Center.
At center, Stein Stone looms high
above the field. His accurate pass
ing to the quarterback, backs and
punters were factors in many Van
derbilt victories for which he got
no credit. As a defensive man he
was equally good at filling up a
hole in the line or backing it up.
On the offense Coach Dan Mc
' Gugin developed manj plays for
the express nurpose of having them
pass over spots cleanc out by the
• mighty Stone. As Bob Blake de
feated the Indians by a single play,
so, assisted by Bob, Stein Stone de
feated the Sewanee Tigers on
Thanksgiving day. 1907, by catch
ing a forward pass while complete
ly surrounded by wearers of the
Purple.
Another center of merit whom we
select for the second team was
"Bull” Brown.
Guards and Tackles.
For tackles and guards there are
many, and .many high grade men
at that. We give the first tackle
positions to Joe Pritchard and Tom
Brown, because of their ability not
merely as pure tackles, but because
they followed the ball under punts
and elsewhere better than the rest.
For the second team we take the
two teammates, Red Taylor and Tom
Graham. Neither w'as quite as shifty
as Brown or Pritchard, but their play
was consistently fine. In making
these selections it has been a ques
tion, particularly in tlje case of the
second team, to put them above
such men as Freeland, Jenkins.
Hasslock. McAllister, Fitzgerald
and others.
At guard, Dr. Lucius Burch and
"Frog" Metzger were certainiv a
shade above any other Vanderbilt
men. They were never outplayed
in their careers, and it is doubt
ful if any man could have done
any great amount of damage
against them. On the second team
we choose Hassett and Chorn. As
as defensive man behind the line
thorn has never been a man who
could beat Innis Brown, but that
is not the regular place for a guard,
hence it is that he is not chosen.

Moran gained a ten-round decision
over Charley Horn last night in the
main event of the Oakland Wheelmen’s

much for Horn, and had him in a bad
way on several occasions.
TECH HARDENING UP

WITH the Auburn game al
most here, the Yellow

The line is charging better every

and Tech will put a team in the
field Saturday light but well bal
anced. and determined to fight ev

Loeb is in good condition and was
back at center in Wednesday's
scrimmage.
Moore who lias been playing the
right end, but who was injured, is
not quite well, but is playing on
offense. He is counted as to do
a great deal of grand gaining.
Captain Leuherman and Colley
are out for a day or so on account
of injuries, but will be in the game
Saturday.
Looks Like Hot Game.
Next to the Georgia game, this
should be the best game pulled off
