Whiting. -X -X HK golf tournament season at I the year-round clubs in the "*■ South is virtually over. But In Its place the toumanvent season al the winter resort clubs is just opening up. And the time is beginning to come In Dixie when Southern players are competing with their brethren from the North for the extremely hand some prizes offered by the winter resort courses. Already the resort courses of the South are announcing their tour naments. The longest and most Im portant program Is offered, as us ual. by the Pinehurst. N. C„ club. This organization will have three first-class 18-hole courses In oper ation this winter -more than any other city In all America Augusta-is not far behind In this respect. The Augusta Country chib was forced by the tremendous crowding of Its original 18-hole course to extend tt to 38 holes The new eighteen Is not In first-class condition, and the old eighteen is one of the best In the South. Across the river, at North Augusta, there la an IH-hole course, owned by the Hampton Terrace hotel This gives Augusta virtually M holes, even if 1« of thr-tn arc located in Routh ('smtlna. The two ctuba in Au gusta are preparing for a Mg tour nament season. Good Course at Asheville. Another club that Is coming fast and that is getting a lot of play from Atlantans 1s that at Asheville, N C. Os course, from an Atlanta viewpoint, this Is a summer club, but for all that it will bo played all winter This famous resort course baa recently been extended from 9 to 18 holes, and It has been vastly Improved The club house will be doubled in size. This club will have a year-round program of tournaments. To enumerate the resort courses within a reasonable run of Atlanta that will offer gvdf tournaments this winter would take a couple of col umns of space. Much Golf In South Carolina. Camden, 8. C., with its two courses, always offers a good pro gram of events, and this year is malting plans for an exceptionally big season. Summerville, S.

There are courses in the East Coast system and elsewhere tn the state The most notable are at Balin Beach. Atlantic Beach. Miami. < trmond, Seabreeze. B« lleair, St Augustine.

I.—Ex aminations are on In Auburn this week, so the football practice for the annual clash with the Yellow Jackets has been neg lected somewhat. It was impossi ble to have any practice of any kind until yesterday. But today the. work will be as long and stren uous as the falling shades qf night will allow. With the exception of some bruises, the team came through the hard Mississippi battle tn good shape. I expect all the men will be in shape for the game against Tech The offense against Missis sippi was not as good as against Clemson, but the defense, though loose at times, became very tight when Auburn's goal was in danger, and it was equally tight against open and close football. With a little more practice and when a few individuals will come up to the tackling standard of the team, scoring on Auburn will be no easy proposition. There is room for considerable improvement on tbe offen.ve, however, before Auburn can hope to put up a first-class ex hibition against November teams It does seem as if the team would FIVE ATHENS PLAYERS MAY BE OUT OF GAME * THENS, GA., Nov. I,—-The jA-X Georgia football team will en ter the game against Sewanee In very poor physical condition. No less than five regulars have been unable to get into the scrimmages this week on account of injuries, and It is doubtful whether they will all be able to appear in tomorrow's contest. Even if they are able to start the game, they will be forced to play with a tremendous handi cap. The following facts, which must not be construed as a cry’ of "wolf," will give the Georgia alumni and friends an Idea of the condition of the men: Parris, injured hip. sustained in scrimmage. McWhorter, severe ''charleyhosa,” received in the Vanderbilt game. Covington, sprained knee Wood, strained ligament, which kept him out of Vanderbilt and Alabama games. Henderson, sprained back, which has rendered him of little value since the first scrimmage of the season. Wheatley, sprained ankle, sus tained In the game with Auburn. These facts are absolutely au thentic. md are not given with the NO "RINGERS," CLAIM OF SEWANEE ELEVEN SEWANEE, TENN., Nov. I, Sewanee ia on Its way to Athens with the determina tion to win tomorrow's game. They have a team which Coach Cope thinks can meet the best teafn In the South and make a creditable showing In order that no loop hole may’ be open. Sewanee is carrying enough substitutes who are nearly as good us any of the men who will start tile game. If there is mu team which Se nanee wants to scalp It is Georgia. ■is they beat them last year when tilings were anything but good. Now that both Sewanee and Geor gia have good teams ami things are equal, it Will be a great step to ward tin championship to put Georgia to one side. Vandy beat THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1912. not suffer from Vanderbllttls this year. For the last nine years all that was necessary for Auburn to make sure of having a bunch of cripples and Invalids was to sched ule a game against Vanderbilt. The hoodoo must have thought that Vanderbilt was in the Auburn schedule last year and acted ac cordingly. At least, Auburn Is hop ing this year to send a team against Vanderbilt in first-class physical condition. Auburn is not going to regard Tech too lightly, because the Yel low Jackets this year, though light, have a team that will fight, for every inch of ground. The Auburn line is fairly heavy, but the back field Is light. Both Newell and Ar nold, who were so Instrumental in defeating Tech last year, will be in the line-up. Arnold, though young for a college player, is developing Into a first-class man He is a good deal like Hardage. though not as fast. Reswyar Is doing well at fullback, and Majors' toe is as reliable a,s ever. The line as a whole Is not charging yet as it should, but there Is no reason, why this fault can not he corrected, as the players have plenty of power and ability idea of misleading any one. While it is likely that all of these men. with one or two exceptions, will take the field against Sewanee, they can not be expected to show at their best. As regards the Sewanee team, Georgia men are at a loss to un derstand where the Tigers unearth ed her two new tackles. Moore and Dobbins. The fact that both of these first year men have been showing so brilliantly lias caused Georgia supporters to look on these play ers In an attitude of suspicion. While Georgia students and sup porters do not for a minute intend to reflect on the eligibility of any Sewanee player, yet ft must be ad mitted that prep school players of this caliber are rarely ever seen in this section. Then, too. the com ing of such prep school stars is usually heralded with much clam or, and the fact that there has been nothing said in regard to the for mdv career of these players has led Georgia men to Inquire from whence they came. In the past two days Sewanee stock has taken a boom here, and most of tile bets are being made at even money, instead of odds on Georgia, as was the case at first. Georgia and Sewanee thinks she ran put them under also, even if she does not make as big a score. Sewanee's team is made up of men who have come to college to study. Every man can prove his eligibility and has done so already. Without a question, Sewanee is composed of men who are eligible They have eight ‘ S" men from last year's team, five last year's Se wanee Military academy men. two last year’s subs and four new prep men.

(Former Harvard Football Star.) CAMBRIDGE. MASS.. Nov. I. With the Princeton-Harvard game but a day off. the un dergraduates at Harvard have caught the Tiger fever and are eager for the great battle between these fast teams of the big four. Crawling in between the arches of the Stadium, the Tiger will strike new places, see new things and, above all, will be called upon to meet a new attack, the onrush of the Crimson eleven that has torn every team up the back that has faced it so far and bids fair, If the predictions of many coaches of big elevens may be believed, to smash the Orange and Black interference. Those knowing ones who sat in the Stadium or on the side lines at the Brown-Harvard game were thrilled with the great feature of the team play of the Crimson—lts interference. Coach Roper's boys beat Dart mouth, but the run of Hobe Ba ker's around the end and through the whole Green squad after Dart mouth was beaten, was the only real touchdown. Penalties and other misfortunes were principally responsible, according to the Dart mouth coach, for the three other scores of the Tigers. Princeton, therefore, can not be judged by the score of Dartmouth's defeat. Harvard’s win over Brown was directly the reverse. The Crimson lost 137 yards and was the offender far oftener than Brown. Notwith standing the Providence boys were trounced 30 to 10, a bigger score than Princeton could roll up on Dartmouth. It then remains for Harvard to show up this typical fluke of providential football of the Orange and Black and finally dis pel the idea that there is any great Tiger team this year. Take away Haker, say Harvard men, apd it would have much the same effect that the loss of Crowther would make in the Brown team. Remove Briekley from tbe Har vard backtleld and what would happen? Innumerable good men to fill his place and a few with a right foot to rival even Briekley. The Tigers are usually overestimated, and this is another occasion, is the feeling at Harvard. Coaches at Harvard say nothing but the leading experts who have seen Harvard's attack, her drop kicker, her interference and her machine on the defensive are al ready predicting a Harvard victory . STEWART KNOCKED OUT BY DAVIS IN 7 ROUNDS BI'FEAL.O, N Y., Nov. 1. —George (line Round) Davis, Buffalo's heavy weight boxer, gained a knockout deci sion over Jim Stewart, of Brooklyn, be fore the Queensbury Athletic club last night. The bout was stopped by the referee In the seventh round after Stewart had been knocked down twice. Davis weighed ISS and Stewart 206. FOOTBALL TEAMS PLAY SUNDAYGAME AT FORT Another football Kame will be played at Fort McPherson Sunday. The op ponents this time will be the same as last Sunday—F companv and the First battalion. The game will be called at 2:30. Last Sunday the F company eleven won from the First battalion. 13 to 0 YALE CALLS OFF GAME ON ACCOUNT OFYORK’S DEATH NEW HAVEN, Nov.

TENN., Nov. 1. Vanderbilt went through its last scrimmage yesterday afternoon, before the Virginia game tomorrow. Circumstances sur rounding the work were gloomy’ In the extreme. In the mix-up with the second team. McGugln was afraid to sexd in any of his regular backs, on account of their injuries, although all of them are sorely in need of some very hard work. Os the four back field men, three are in no shape for such a game as tomorrow’s promises to be. The in valids are Collins, Hardage and Sikes. During the scrimmage yesterday afternoon, Shea. Turner and Mor rison, three substitutes, were occu pying places in the back field against the scrubs. Under the very discouraging circumstances, the showing of the varsity was good, but McGugin Is downcast over the prospects for tomorrow. It is an assured fact that Collins, Hardage and Sikes will not last the entire game. Os the 22 men on the varsity squad, ten are on the sick or in jured list, and Dr. Manier has been so busy nursing the ailing that he has had little time to assist Mc- Gugin in drilling the men. Cap tain Hardage received such a se vere jolt in the Mississippi game last Saturday that he has been hors du combat ever since. On the very first play In that game Col lins, one of the crack backs, twisted his ankle so badly that he had to be removed from the game. Collins was on the field yesterday after- TECH DETERMINED TO GIVE AUBURN BATTLE ÜBURN is coming to town. To the new citizens that sen “ tence means little, but to A those who have been here a while it means that some football game is going to be pulled off out at Ponce DeLeon tomorrow afternoon. According to Coach Dobson, of Clemson, who has already seen Au burn play this year, the bunch from Alabama have got a great team. When necessary, it can present a stone wall defense, aad on offense the team rips things open in great style. Newell, Harris and Majors can circle ends, while Ressijac stands the brunt of the defensive work in his position of “backer up." Everything seems to point to an Auburn victory, but tile Techites are coming just a bit themselves. Every man on the team is in good shape, except Moore, and Goree is VIRGINIA LEAVES FOR VANDERBILT BATTLE C IHARLOTTESVILLE.VA., Nov. , I.—The University of Vir ginia team, numbering 30 players and accompanied by the coaches and trainer, left Char lottesville last night for Nashville, where the Vandertdlt-Virginia game will be played tomorrow The Virginia players, for the first time this season, are in tine fettle. All the regulars who have been on the injured list are fully recovered and the Orange and Blue lineup will be the most formidable that Virginia has presented this year. The university supporters are op timistic as to the outcome of the contest. The strength of the Com modores has not been nnderesti nwted, but the students .and alumni noon, running signals, but he was limping very badly, and appeared to be in poor shape for the Virginia game, and it is extremely doubt ful whether he will start. Sikes, the Commodores’ star full back, has been ill with malaria for over four weeks and has a bad ankle to boot. Buddy Morgan, the giant center, was not used at all tn the game with Ole Miss, and it is doubtful if he will be worked more than half of tomorrow’s game. He strained a tepdon in his back in the Rose Poly' game, and since that time has been playing on nothing but simon pure nerve. The other play ers who are crippled are Shea, sub full back; Covington, guard; Por ter, substitute guard; Robins, quar ter; Mllholland, end and full back. Dan McGugin has not yet decided which of his three quarter backs he will start against Virginia. Rob bins is physically unfit. Curlin's work tn the Mississippi game was away' off color, and it would be taking too long a chance to put him In charge of the team’s play. Up to the playing of the game with Mississippi Vanderbilt had not once been held for clowns, but in each crisis Curlln’s judgment was so poor that the ball was lost to the opponents three times on downs. Boensch, another possibility, has only been out for practice three days, having been kept off the team for scholarship reasons. He is a wonderful punter, but is han dicapped on account of lack of ex perience, so that McGugin is fac ing a most knotty problem in se lecting a field general. playing the right end in his ab sence. The team is working hard to gether. and in both Wednesday’s and Thursday’s scrimmages run over the scrubs at wil. Their at tack is rapidly strengthening, and the team as a whole is running smooth Tt will be remembered that last yi ar Auburn lucked out on Tech, Newell, a sub, running the length ot the field for a touchdown when it was nearly dark. Loeb will be played at center, while Jones and Means will be played at guards. Colley and Cap tain Leuhrmann will play the tack les. with Goree and Hutton bold ing the end positions. In the back field there will be Cook, McDonald, Fieldei and Thomasson anil these men should stir up a few things for Tech rooters to make a fuss over. believe that the old spirit which has made Virginia victorious In ev ery game yet played with Vander bilt will crop out this year in vic tory. The personnel of the team that will line up against Vandy is strik ing both in the experience and abil ity of the men. With a strong, im penetrable line and a light but fast back field. Virginia will pre sent a rare combination of weight and agility. The Commodores have been able to swamp their opponents in the initial games of the season by a dashing set of backs. Vir ginia's backfield is considerably lighter, but equally faster. Fur thermore. the Orange and Blue has the call on Vanderbilt in the strength and weight of line. LOUIS MANN HAS BIG BOOST FOB BILLSMITH By Louis Mann. (Greatest Actor-Fan, Who Is Playing at the Atlanta Theater.) I MET Billy Smith, the Crackers’ new manager, at the world’s se ries. and, believe me, he sure looks like a real baseball leader. He attended the games with Clark Griffith, and the Washington man ager, who is one of my best friends, told me that Smith knows more baseball than many of the big league managers. Smith was pulling for the Red Sox to beat the Giants, but I made him admit after that last game that the New York team was the strong er aggregation. Yes, the Giants should never have lost a game. Man for man, the McGraw outfit outclassed the Bostonese, with the exception of Speaker. Tris is a grand player, and he was the only one on the Hub team who wasn't scared to death all through the series. I hope the same teams play again next year, and if they do I’ll bet my entire bank account op the Giants —and 1 guess Billy Smith will, too. SEWANEE DEAN WIRES ALL PLAYERS ELIGIBLE Henry W. Grady', of this icty, a former Sewanee man, today received the follow ing telegram, which will explains itself: "Your telegram addressed to Hr. Hall, who is away, referred to me. Every man on the Sewanee team is eligible, and it will be impossible to shew anything to the contrary about any one of them. Ru mors and newspaper articles are based on absolutely no particle of evidence of any sort. Received today fhiendly letter front John Morris, of University of Georgia, from which I quote: ‘My telegram orig inated in some rumors of importance as sumed names of Sewanee team, but it is nothing but talk as far as I can learn.’ Morris asked about Sheldon. Robbins and Moore, three of the finest fellows on the team, with excellent records in prepara tory schools as students and most highly recommended to us by their school. No possible suspicion of irregularities at tached to them. I have written Morris, giving him their entire history. Depend upon you to put this matter right in the newspapers immediately. You may' pub lish any part of the above as coming from me as dean of the college faculty and di rector of athletics. Appreciate your In terest and grateful for your message.
