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.

The Fusilliers shot two field goals in the first half and none in the second, seven 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. Grays Win Fourth Straight. The Atlanta Grays defeated the Mar ist Rifles in a sensational game by a 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. I Tlk A Y T i Cub fl demon- rr UMr kJ U IM Solid-Breech, Hammerless, Safe.

Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Co. 299 Broadway New York City 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 BLOOD POISON Piles and Rectal Diseases.

As a defensive end he un playable. impenetrable, if such’ a term can be applied to one man. He carried the ball well from his position. The selection of the other end Is more difficult. There have been such stars, as Captain Chambers Keller. E. R. Smith, Dick Barr, 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 wonder on defense: fast, carried the ball well and used excellent judgment when captain of the fa mous 1897 championship team. For our second team. Captain Cham bers Keller, the greatest of the early-day players, we select for an end. and strange to say. the next best bet looks .to‘be Enoch Brown, v. ho has yet another year to play. 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- Y ou ths Norfolks 10 $16.50 O lip I**®**!

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. FRANK MORAN KNOWS TOO MUCH FOR A GREENHORN OAKLAND. CAL.. Oct. 31. —Frank Moran gained a ten-round decision over Charley Horn last night in the main event of the Oakland Wheelmen’s club boxing show.
