Citizens of Athens Pick All-Time Georgia Team +•+ -!-*-i- +«4* 4**d- -h*-b v*v This All-Star Eleven Would Be a Gridiron Terror By Ross Creshniore. IN choosing an all-Georgia, all star team, I am indebted to many of the older citizens of Athens who have followed the Georgia team ever since the game was played here, among whom are E, H. Dorsey, treasurer of the Uni versity pf Georgia Athletic Asso ciation; Major J. E. Talmadge, Tom Elder, Henry Beusse, Hugh Gordon, S. V. Sanford, Lamar Rucker, W. H. Davis and others. KETRON Clarkesville, Ga., weight 175 pounds. At the present time assistant coach at the Uni versity of Georgia; is without ques tion the best center Georgia has ever had. In'his four years playing this position he was never charged with a bad pass, something that can be said of few centers. Remark ably fast 1 breaking through the opposing Ik ,’ he was ilowo the field with the ends on punts. however, it is not due to Ketron’s offensive work that he is given a place on the all-star team, but to his great de fensive playing. It is doubtful if football fans in the South have seen a more aggressive center. Ketron was chosen on the all- Sbuthern in 1902. BLANCH—Right gbard, from lowa, weight 200 pounds, was with out doubt the greatest guard that ever represented Georgia on the gridiron. Standing well over six feet and powerfully built, with years of experience before en tering Georgia, he was a terror to ypposlng teams. Opening up holes or his backs was his specialty and n this respect he has never been ‘quehed in this section. Blanch olayed on Glenn Warner’s cham pion 1896 team. After leaving Geor gia, Blanch played with the Uni versity of Minnesota and was chos m on the all-Western team. PRlCE—Guard, Lexington. Ga., weight 210 pounds, ia chosen as a running mate for Blanch. This man was also a member of Warner’s champion Georgia tea.m. Built on the order of Blanch, he, too, was a post aggressive lineman. Price played in the days when a guard was allowed to carry the ball and it was the famous “guard back" play that, first brought this man into prominence. He was also a bulwark on defense and Is award ed a place on the all-Georgia team on account of his general all-round ability. HAMILTON Tackle. Harris burg, Pa., weight 200, came to ' Georgia,, from Pennsylvania State cc\|ege, where he had played two years on the team representing that Auburn Coach Says Men Are All in Trim With Two Mino: Exceptions By M. J. Donahue. (Coach of the Auburn Team.) With the exception of Arnold and Meadow*, the Auburn squad will line up today against Tech in fairly good physical condition. Meadows’ leg was hurt in the Missis sippi game and again in practice.' so that his condition for today is a doubt ful proposition. Arnold's knee was twisted in Thursday's practice and he may be out of the game. Even with these men out of the game, Auburn ■will be in far better condition than they were a year ago. when two-thirds of the team was out of condition and nome-of those playing had no business being on the field. There has been a general improve ment In line play for the Auburn men this week, as well as the interference by the backfield. Ressigae and Lamb lv .-e recovered from their attacks that ,ade them like unto Job and are now rounding into good shape. A number of . (.he men on the squad still suffering with colds that affect tseir endurance. Os those who played against Tech last year there are in the line-up today Pitts, centeri. Limb, tackle; Robinson, end; Newell, halfback; Major, quar terback, and Arnold, who played sub stitute end, but Is now playing a half i?afk. Ressighe also tried to play, but iad fever and was forced to quit after ene or two Hart also started, but was forced tq leave because of a bad ankje. Auburn has plenty of weight in the line now, but ; tl?e backfield, outside of Major, is very light, as the halfbacks bill hardly average 150. Arnold, who Is. rather young, as a coming backfield man of the Hardage type. A little age and-experience is .all that he needs to become a. first-class man. Porto Rico’s New Wonder. -Front far-away Porto Rico come re ports of a wonderful new discovery that is believed will vastly benefit the peo ple. Ramon T. Marchan, of Barce loneta. writes: “Dr. King's New Dis covery is doing splendid work here.

Hamijjon was of the short, stocky type and was unus ually fast for a man of his weight. In giving him this place it must alsd be said that he was the best lineman and probably the best foot ball player Georgia ever had. After the Georgia-North Carolina game in 1899, Captain "Pot” Graves, of the Tarheels, and present coach at West Point, said: “I have never known of but two things that could stop me—a wire fence and Hamil ton, of Georgia.” It was his ter rific charging on defense, smashing all interference aimed at his side of the line, that gives him the honor of being the greatest of all time. KENT—Mt; Vernon, Ga., weight 205, is selected to hold down the other— taekle- position. Kent at tended Georgia four years and was one -of -Che-few football players -of his time' to graduate. On the "tackle over tackle" play Kent-car ried the. bail in amazingly effec tive fashjon, and was a hard man to stop”’* Tits offensive work was his lopg ?uit, a.nd at the .same time he was above’ thft average as a de- , fensim-player. Kent. Wafa a con-, sistent player and 'feould always be depended qa to rise to the occa sion in cases •of emergency. RlDLEY—LaGrange, Ga., weight 180, stands pre-eminent among the ends who have played football at the University of Georgia; he has the distinction of being the only Georgia player who held the cap taincy of the team for two years. His offensive work in carrying the ball and his sgpsational hurdling in an open field waS his greatest asset and ip- tliiSt respect he ex celled any perfprhier in ‘the South. A terrific tackler wfitht'a qool head, coupled with great speed, made him one of the most brilliant of Geor gia performers. .Ridley -was select ed on the All-'Southern in 1992. WlGHT—Savannah, Ga., weight 1.76, was another member of the champion team of 1896. While not equalling Ridley in brilliancy, WILL HAVE A WHITE CHAMPION ERE LONG By Ed. W. Smith. WHITE heavyweight fighters are about to come into their own. For the first time since the late and more or less lamented Jim Jeffries chucked up his title and retired so inde cisively along about the year 1904, or four years before the Reno hor ror, the big fellows of white skin are going to do a lot of milling that is liable eventually to result In a product that may justly be labeled “heavyweight champion of the world." The proposition to forget about the "white hope” business and pro ceed along new lines, viz: the whites for themselves and the blacks to their own color—is meet ing with such general favor that it can be got through with a whoop now that it is fairly well started. McCarey Starts It Up. All it needed was for some pro moter to come through with a defi nite proposition of matching two of the most likely of the big whites and thus at once get down to some tangible basis. This promoter proved to be Tom McCarey, of Los Angeles, and his matching of Luther McCarey, of Nebraska, and Jim Flynn, of Pu eblo, was the needed step to start off matters. This match means the initiative toward finding out who the best w'hite heavy of the day may be, a question that ought to be definitely settled before another spring rolls around. When it is settled we will practically have something more than a "white hope.” He will be a white cham pion, arid that is what is needed at the present time to get the box ing game, at least as far as big • fellows are concerned, back into its old standing with the bout-loving public. A Twenty-Round Battle. According to the articles of agreemnt, the men are to battle 20 rounds in Los Angeles Oecember 10. Tlie winner will meet Al Palzer, the lowa giant, in a bout probably within 30 days of that date. Ry that time we will have some thing tangible to work on. Then we can get the English champion-—he doubtless will be Bombardier Billy Wells at that time and if he consents to a match, as ho doubtless will, we will ho mighty ylose to having a new white champion. When Joe Gans was a seemingly unbeatable proposition in the light-* v eight claws, w< had a white title !• that division. Battli,,„ N.'lSvu finally annexed it after much fuss ing and then he tore Into Guns and THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 1912. he was nevertheless a wonderful end. His greatest asset was his ability to get down the field under punts and he rarely ever failed to land his man. He was a typical player of the old school and is unanimously ranked second only to the great Ridley. WOODRUFF. — Columbus. Ga., weight 140, was the most spectacular as well as the brainiest field general the Red and Black ever had. As an open field runner, punter and deadly tackler, he has the edge on all Georgia quarterbacks. Had this grand little player been with Van derbilt or some other champion team his name would have gone down in history as the greatest of all Southern quarterbacks. Singu larly enough, his next closest rival for all-star honors is his brother. George, who played his last year at Georgia in 1911. By reason of his field running, the palm goes to Harry. • NALLY—Dallas, Ga., weight 178, captain of the famous ’96 team, was one of those halfbacks of the "truck horse” variety. Nally was not a sensational player, but for consistency he stands without an equal. Strong at ■ advancing the ball, equally so in interfering for his teammates and playing a smashing game on defense, he was indeed a. most valuable player for any team to have. DICKINRQN —LaGrange, weight 165, is given the other halfback po ..sltion .on account of his great line plunging and defensive work. Un usually fast, a sure tackler and a back to be relied upon under the old rules to gain the necessary dis tance on the third down. Dickinson was the backbone of the Georgia team during the years of 1900-01-02 and’ was the mainstay both offen sively and defensively. LOVEJOY —LaGrange, Ga., weight 175, another member of Warner's famous champions, is rated by all as Georgia's greatest fullback. The ■old football rules gave this player his opportunity, for it was his ir resistible line bucking which gives him this place. He was also one of the best punters Georgia has had. He was used to back up the line on defense and was far above the average in this respect. The art of hurdling found an able ex ponent in the person of Lovejoy, who stands pre-eminent among the ranks of Southern fullbacks. In this selection of an all-time team the writer has refrained from considering any* of the present members- of the Georgia team. However, when these men have fin ished their course, I reserve the right to amend my selection. messed him us scandalously. The cases will be parallel only up to the stage of matching the best white man with the black. That won’t be necessary. Luther Is Confident. McCarthy is full of smiling confi dence in himself. He talks with the greatest complacency about the sit uation, and believes that he has a little bit better chance than any of them to forge to the front. To the careful observer he looks woefully lacking in experience to be picking out such decidedly tough customers as this chap from Pu eblo. No matter how one may fig ure Jim Flynn, especially on his showing with the colored cham pion at Los Angeles last July, It must be remembered that Flynn has beaten and still is beating some of the biggest and toughest and best of the big fellows.

COPE DENIES SEWANEE HAS ANY RINGERS HARRIS COPE, famous Se wanee athlete and now head coach of the Sewanee foot ball team, was in Atlanta yester day on his way to Athene, where Sewanee meets Georgia today. Coach Cope was decidedly wroth over the articles emanating from Athens charginte, indirectly, that the Sewanee team harbored sev eral ringers. "Any intention that we are play ing ringers is in error," said Mr. # Cope. "They hint that there is something suspicious in the cases of Dobbins, Moore and Sheldon. ."Take Dobbins. They say he comes from Murfreesboro, Penn. As a matter of fact, his home is in Gallatin, Tenn., and he came■ to Sewanee from the Murfreesboro, Penn., training school. Very sus picious circumstances that! ‘Moore comes from Martin, Tenn. He is trying to get a B.A. degree in two years and is doubtless do ing more studying than any man in college. His status is above ques tion. “As for Sheldon, he comes from Texas, it is true, but so do 40 or 50 other Setvanee boys every year. Next to Tennessee, Sewanee gets more boys from Texas than from any other state in the Union. Shel doh Went last year to West Texas Military academy, where Frank Juhan, a former Sewanee player is coaching and naturally Frank in fluenced him to come to Sewanee. "We only have one other man on the team this year who was not on the mountain last year. He is Hammond, a sub. He comes from the Griffin, Ga., High school. "My personal opinion,” conclud ed Mr. Cope, “Is that Georgia is preparing an alibi.” Today's Big Games South. Tech vs. Auburn, at Atlanta Vanderbilt vs. Virginia, at Nashville.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—lt is gen erally conceded that Mana ger Wolverton made a ten strike when he secured Claude Der rick, the infielder Connie Mack dis carded the past season, and one who will do much to solve the prob lem of the Yankee infield next sea son. The mere fact that the shrewd leader of the Athletics cut him adrift is no reflection on the young ster's ability. Mack concedes Der rick looks to have a bright future in the big league and tried vainly to regain possession of him after he was traded to the Orioles. He is thoroughly familiar with what the player can do, having had him un der his*wing two seasons. There was a slim chance of Derrick get ting a regular berth with the ex-, champs, though competing against such men as Baker. Barry, Collins and Mclnnis. This was one of the reasons Der rick failed to shine in an Athletic uniform. He had little chance to play It was rather discouraging for a youngster to break in among such a classy collection of stars. But next season Derrick will get every chance to display his wares, for he appears to be just the player Wolverton has been searching for all year. There is plenty room for a classy youngster in the Yankee infield. Os the new material on hand the former Athletic utility man appears to be the best. At present he is slated for the keystone sack, but if Tommy McMillan fails to make good at short, that is the position which will probably fall to his lot. There is no assurance either that McMillan will be cast for the short stop role. He will have to show better form than he did during the fag end of the season. While his fielding was good enough to carry him through a big league cam paign. the batting of the Rochester star fell off after he quit Gansel’s outfit. Many who have seen him play and are familiar with his style be lieve he is cut out for a short field er. for he has a mighty good arm and can shoot the ball across the diamond with the best of them. He is also speedy and a good ground coverer. If It W£re left to his choice, he would doubtless select that position. « « * tHE infield seems- to be the only concern of Wolverton in the matter of reconstructing the team that will make or break him as a I Commodore Blackton Im on the |i Betterment of II Mptorß oaEßacin j> In the November number of 8.1 Motor Boatin g—just off the ' press—Commodore Blackton writes his a W vers ’ on °f the present status of motor boat Mgtig racing and its future welfare.

Chase appears to be the only one sure of his position if he re signs. He is the one player who could not be improved on at first, nor could he improve at any other position. There are at least a half dozen players who will contend for the other positions besides McMillan and Derrick. Johnny Priest will make his third bid for a job. This youngster will surprise the fans by making good one of these seasons. He was a bear in the minors. Two years ago when he first joined the team he was turned over to the Richmond club and led the Virginia league in batting at the end of the season. Last year Albany secured him and Priest again qualified for the top place in the batting list. His base running has also improved during his stay in the minors and the opinion seems to be that he is fast enough to stick under the big tent. With Pri Midkiff and Pad dock he will be one of the leading candidates for the third base job.
