Whiting. ONE sentence of the story of the Harvard-Princeton giime that was flashed from I’uiii bridge Saturday afternoon brought sorrow into the estimable family of Brickley—wherever it may be re siding—but it was a glad tiding to Dixie. The sentence was: “Brickley was hurt on the play that gave Harvard its last touch down, and will hardly be able to play before the Yale game." If this report proves true, Van derbilt’s t lianci s of holding Har vard next Saturday ar* vastly en hanced. The coming Hatuitluy doesn't of fer anything very thrilling in a football wuy. To Dixie tans in gen eral there is just one BIG game and that will not be pktved in Dixie. It will be staged in t'mii bridge, where Vanderbilt books up with the official gridiron represen tatives of old .1 Harvard, long since deceased As has been alleged before. Van derbilt picked out a rotten bad year to play Harvard For years and years, when Harvard hasn't had a poor team, it has had a good team that played poorly, which was much the same thing. But this year they have an eleven up there which either wasn't pick ed for family or social reasons, or else the society guys are stacking up stronger than usual this year. Anyhow, it is the best Harvard team of recent years not improb ably the best team Harvard ever had. In fact, M. F. Delano, manager of the Owen Poultry Farm, who was here last week for the poultry sliov and who was a football player for the Massachusetts Institute of - Technology in earllet days, told me this: "I’ve seen Harvard play this year I have seen every Harvard team for the last twenty years. 1 have seen most of the big Eastern teams of the same period. 1 be lieve not only that it Is the best Harvard team, but It is likely to be ranked the greatest football team of all time." Which is going some So it will be admitted that Van derbilt is play ing Harvard the wrong year, .hist as it is retraining from playing Michigan a year when it could tie kinks in tin* Wolver ines. But Brickley s being out will make a difference. He is the big man of the team, one of the big football players of all time. Even with Brickley out. Vandei blit Ims littl*- chance o: making : good showing. Harvard beat Prim ton pi turday. 16 to b Th it I- a tremendous beating.

If tne Com modores can hold them down to an 'advantage of three touchdowns it will be a creditable show ing Harvard showed w< uluie.** in Sat urday's game in an inability to put up a successful defeus, against the forward pass. ft this w.nk nes continues. Vanderbilt will score. The Commodores have nevet failed to pull <»ff some long forward passes in a critical game when the rules allowed long ones. McGugln is likely to uncork some of his old fifty-yard passes against Harvard. • * « THE best game play,*. .ii .hr South next Saturday. and one ot >*•• uJiar interest to Atlantans uu*i Georgians will be that between S>- wane? and Teeth, which will be | played at Pom e D*L>on ' Saturday Georgia and s, mee play* d a hot tie Nevi Saturday's game will answei tin- ,r* uiendcms durst lon Has Tech any chance with G®or* gia? Apparently the answer i ■ going to be: "NO.” Saturday the Jackets got then first beating. Auburn administered It, and the score was 27 to 7. The Tech team showed a mar velous offense. In my opinion, the Soutli never liad a team of its yveiglit tliat had the offense of Tech this year, it Is made up of midgets. On the de fense it cun do but little, for it takes weight to put up a deflmsi . But on offense tin* team is a mar vel, What it lacks In wplght it makes up not only with speed, but with variety of attack. f'.tburn showed well Saturday. Said Tom Bragg, the graduate manager, when the game was over: its all right. We're coining The team started slow, but it Is progressing fast. It might to be one of Auburn's best teams.” This seems like a truthful pre diction. The Auburn team is with out sensational stars but it is a better* thing; it is a team, a mass of eleven players welded together ind working as one machine. It has not been rounded into condition yet. They are holding it back to have it in shape for the Vanderbilt game the Saturday befor. Thank.- giving. Losing to Auburn was no dis grace to Tech, and was only what was to be expected. But. naturally. Tech must show more strength to win from Georgia. Cm the other hand, the. Geoigia team has found itself. It was a demoralized collection of mueh haminered individuals against Van derbilt. it was only part of a team Hie following Saturday against Alabama. Saturday Geoigia came to life.

But after a bit tliey found them selvt s against a defens’e as good as their own and an offense that was even a shade better. Tile lee! udescenei of the Red and Black seems to mean that Georgia will beat Clemson Thursday by about as many points as they waul to score: that they will trim Tech on November tti by* two or three touchdowns, and that they will give Auburn a joltfill encounter on Thanksgiving day. * ♦ • g?

NO Southern league player evet succeeded in baseball with more hundicuiis than Deri iii Pratt. "Strange I never noticed any se rious bar to this young gent's ca reer.” the bugs will say. "He lias file build of a ball player. He pos sesses the nerve of a hungry bull dog. He has* the speed of a runa way locomotive. He ean lilt so hard it hurts. He can think witii om best phibisophers*. Then why the handicap Gentle reader, the secret lies in the fact tliat Mr. Pratt succeeded in tlie Southern and then in the majors, despite the predictions of every one of his home friends tiiat lie was going to be a star and tried to make his baseball journeys a personally conducted tour. Pratt stai ted in tlie Southern league witii Alontgomery in 1910. He was fresh from the classic por tals of tlie University of Alabama, where he bad been more than a prominent citizen as captain of bi.seball and football teams, leader in-chief of cotillions and stroke oar or something in the glee club. Attei he had performed ail tlie feats of heroism tliat college life affords, he turned his thoughts to ill* rc serious tilings, among them b *ing baseball as a method of live lihood. Piatts Are Big Folks. Over in Alabama the Prat , clan is numerous and influential. Inas much as tlure is a town named Prattville that boasts of a family of Pratts reputedly possessed of enough of this tvorld’s goods to keep a whole pack of yvolves from all the doors in a city’ of considera bly larger proportions than Pratt ville. there ate lots and lots of folks that insist on claiming kin wi,j tlie family of which Derrill is now the most famous member. It was a considerable shock in polite Alabama circles when it be came known that this dashing young aristocrat was to become a professional ball player. They aren't educated enough yet in Alabama to recognize that nowadays tlie list of hired athletes reads like a blue hook—more or less. But Det riil cared no a whoop for the shock to society, nor did Pratt Mere. The elder Pratt was to a large degree responsible for bis s.m's career. He had taken an en t lusiastic interest in his offspring's feats as a gridiron warrior, and when he suggested baseball Papa Pratt was enthusiastic in telling the son to go forth and make people lorget Hans Wagner.

Any ball player will tell you that this is the poorest sort of start for an athlete. But Pratt, being a wise y oung person, did not have his head turned. He just played ball.
