Yellow Jackets' Football Instructor Has Received Many Offers HEISMAN MAY COACH PENNSY ELEVEN NEXT YEAR By Percy 11. Whiting. JOHN W. HEISMAN, coach of the Georgia Institute of Tech nology football team, may be the next coach of the University of Pennsylvania. It isn't definitely settled yet, but there is a strong hunch that the thing will happen. This is Mr. Heisman's last sea son at Tech, under his old con tract. • ♦ * tsHE strongest reason for believ ing that Mr. Heisman may go to Pennsylvania next year is that a rumor to that effect has seei>ed out of Philadelphia and down to At lanta. It appears there may be strong foundation for the rumor. Os course, Mr. Heisman was a Pennsylvania man. He played base ball and football there, though his lack of weight made it Impossible for him to leave any Coy-like dents in Eastern football history. However, when Mr. Heisman left Pennsylvania he took up coaching. He was the first professional coach in the state of Ohio, and he is today the oldest ■ coach In polnt of serv ice In Dixie. Mr. Heisman has been the most uniformly successful of Pennsylva nia graduates at coaching, and he has been successful for the great est length of time. When Mr. Heisman has had ma terial, he has had a winner.

However, he had interests in Atlanta at that time, and as Tech offered him a good contract for a long period of time, he signed with the local college. This fall, as Mr. Heisman’s con tract is expiring. Pennsy is again in the doldrums. The once fa mous team is doing nothing. It is a joke—and that with ebrking good material. Obviously, the fault lies in the coaching. Obviously also, much of Pennsylvania’s weakness of late years has been the result, in the main, of Indifferent coaching. If Mr. Heisman goes to Pennsyl vania, look out for a revolution — followed by some Penn successes! Barring Dan McGugin, who is, all things considered, about as suc cessful a coach as America ever knew, Heisman has no equal In the South and few in the country. He knows more football than any man South or West of Walter Camp. Sr., bar nobody; and he can teach what he knows. « * • >R all the fact that Georgia men * profess to hate Heisman, it is a fact that they have wanted to get him in years past.

IOWA, Nov. 6.—The management of Riverside Athletic park announces that in all probability there will be no more pugilistic contests. Lack of patronage, they assert, has made the attractions losing ventures. The arena, which cost several thou sand dollars to erect, is located on Stumpf's Island, across from Tagle Point, on the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi. There is no legal bartier to the holding of bouts. Unless some one else wishes to take hold of the proposition, the present man:g< :nent slates, the boxing game in this vicinity Is dead • HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWB.TUEKDAY, NOVEMBER a, 1912. is extremely unlikely that they will make a change. Despite that, there is a strong tip out that he may get an offer from Georgia. It is known that Mr. Heisman has had an offer from one Southern col lege, and it Is not unlikely that this college is Clemson. The Carolina team has been doing bad work of late, and a change of coaches is being talked. It is also known that a Texas college is planning to make Mr. Heisman an offer. z\ E course, there is always a chance that Mr. Heisman may remain right here in Atlanta. The Tech athletic authorities have an option on Mr. Heisman’s services. Probably he could duck out from under it if he cared to, but the fact remains that they have such an option and that Mr. Heisman would undoubtedly abide by it. The folks at Tech know full well that they would be about ten million years getting another man who could do as much with as little material as Mr. Heisman. So they may decide to retain him. On the other hand, they may feel that a change of coaches would be for the better, and that they could get a younger and cheaper man who would acceptably handle the teams. The best hunch right now is that Tech will give up its claim to Mr. Heisman’s services, provided he can get the position at Pennsylva nia. GIANTS’ MANAGER SUGGESTS CHANGE IN WORLD’S SERIES NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—The world's series rules will most likely be amended before next year as a result of suggestions made by Manager Mc- Graw, of the Giants, to Garry Herr mann, chairman of the national com mission, and Ban Johnson, president of the American league. McGraw and Johnson have burled the hatchet after several years' enmity. McGraw made two suggestions which the two members of the national com mission thought well of and which they said would likely be adopted before manj' months have flown. In the world series when the Giants lit upon Joe Wood’s delivery in the first Inning of the seventh game, and scored six runs, the entire New York team was on the anxious seat for fear that their great lead would count for naught as the clouds were gathering thick and fast at the time and it looked doubtful if the teams would play more than three or four innings. In this case, un less they played the full five Innings, the Giants would have done all of their cannonading for nothing. McGraw suggested that a rule he made for future world's series games that if rain stopped a game, no matter at what stage, play be resumed the fol lowing day where the two teams left off, rain checks being provided the fans so that they could see both sections of the game. The other rule that McGraw sug gested was to let all the fans who at tend a tie game see the play-off free of charge, their seat checks being suffi cient credential to get them into the park. SOCCER REPLACE”RUGBY! “BOSH,” SAYS WILLIAMS MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 6—Dr. H L. Williams, Minnesota's football coach, takes exception to the declaration of Dr. Woods Hutchinson, of Minneapolis, that the game of soccer football should replace the game played by American university and college elevens. "Soccer football is a good game in some ways," said Dr. Williams. "It is productive of beneficial results, because It Is exhilarating and healthful and can be played by a large number of stu dents. But it is all 'bosh' to say that It will replace the American game of foot ball.*' HARVAfIOWORKS HAi FOR GAME WITHVANOV By Howell Foreman (Former Atlanta Newspaper Man Now Student at Harvard.) CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Nov. 6 Scarcely had the echo of the moanful Tiger howl died within the stadium walls when the Harvard eleven, full and strong, assembled for drill on Soldiers field, working out for the Vander bilt game. Trumbull and Coolidge, the only absentees, were replaced by Driscoll and O'Brien. Charley Brickley, the splendid back, who almost single-handed won Satur day's battle, was out and he spent much time measuring distances and perfecting his drop and place kicks. Wendell, too, was at practice. He started in the Princeton game, but had to quit. In practice he was working with a vim, toiling with his men to whip and to shape some some new offensive formations. Sammy Eeltot booten the pigskin all over the lot. He wishes to im prove in accuracy his wonderful 50-yard punt, which sometimes goes even too far for his ends. The work was a tedious task. Many new formations of attack were tried. The plays were care fully explained by the corps of coaches and this slow, close teach ing lasted for two hours behind closed gates. The backs were coached by Hhm Corbett, 'll. Be sides Haughton, Coaches Daly, Leary, Wigglesworth, Paul and Lo throp, Withington, Brown and Eisher continually punted the new ideas into the head of each man on the squad. At present the conditions of the Vanderbilt game are very uncertain. If Haughton uses his second string men, the Commodores may be lucky enough to score, but If all powerful Percy runs in his varsity bunch, sackcloth and ashes will be in vogue down in the old moun tains of Tennessee. Haughton's plan this season has been to turn his regulars loose for the first half of the game, thus rolling up a good score, and then the second boys take up the fight. Vanderbilt should be licked in the first half. Her chance to score and show what she’s got up her sleeve will no doubt come toward the latter part of the game. GEORGETOWN’SCAPTAIN MAY NEVER PLAY AGAIN WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—" Jack” Begartyl captain of the Georgetown uni versity football team, it was an nounced today, is suffering from inju ries so serious that he never will play the game again. In the struggle Sat urday with the University of North Carolina, Hegarty sustained a broken ankle in addition to a torn ligament in his leg. Hegarty also is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He Is confined to a hospital. His absence still further cripples the team, which is reported to be off from the best. american-brednags WIN ON ENGLISH TURF LONDON, Nov. 6.—American bred race horses have won more events this year than ever before on the English turf. Among them the offspring of James R. Keane's once famous sprint er, Voter, figure the most frequently two of his sons, Election and Select man, having upset theorists on breed ing by winning long distance races. August Belmont's Tracery has won $48,000 and H. B. Duryea's Sweeper 11. $30,000 during the year. Duryea has also won as much more in France with Shannon, an American bred colt sired by the brilliant race horse Irish Laid, out of Census by Ethelbert. The greatest winner of the season is not American bred, but this horse. Prince Palatine, has been ridden in all of his stake races by the American Jockey, Flank O'Neill, who comes from Paris each time the horse race*. Tech Foolball Elevens a Joke Until Coach Heisman Was Secured I YELLOW JACKETS ALL-TIME TEAM fiREAT MACII By J. S. Moore, Jr. GEORGIA TECH’S athletic ca reer has been a varied one and amounted to very little until Coach Heisman was secured nine years ago, and since then Tech has held her own with the best In the South. There was no athletic association at Tech in the days be fore Coach Heisman, and Tech was considered a joke by all teams. The year he took charge of the teams things changed and the Yel low Jackets were held in awe by all Southern colleges. Therefore, It is well-nigh impossible to pick an all- Tech, all-time football team, but an all-Tech Helsman-time team will meet all requirements of the most critical, and the choice that follows was made after long and deliberate consideration. We will pick the line first and then the back field. For the cen ter’s job there are three men who loom head and shoulders above all others and either of -whom would make a most excellent man. These are Sims, ’OS; Snider, 'O7, and Loeb, ’ll. Sims was a big man, powerful on offense and a sure tackle on de fense. He knew the game well and played like a man "trying out” all the time, and to him goes first place. Snider was an extra big majt, but not up to Sims on offense. He broke interference wonderfully well and always played a jam-up game under all conditions, i Loeb Light But Fast. Loeb we still have with us. He is light, but fast, gritty and plays the hardest game of any man on the Tech team, but his lack of weight keeps him from getting first place. The guards were not so easy to pick, as Tech has had a great many extra good men to fill these places, but these men seem to have been there with the goods and get the places: Sinclair, ’ll, played his best game his last year at guard. He was one of the most powerful men that has ever come to Tech. He was 6 feet 6 inches and weighed 195 pounds in condition. Being long and powerful, he could open up a hole through any line he ever charged against, and on defense he was well-nigh impregnable. He easily gets one of the first places. It was due to his good work that Goree made such pretty gains in the Sewanee game last year, when Tech for the first time so over whelmingly defeated the Tigers. The man to be a running mate to this man had to be a good one, and In Snider’s work in 1906 we find the needed stuff. Good Breaking Up Play*. He was also an extra big man, 6 feet 2 Inches, and weighing over 180 in condition. He could break up interference better than any man who has ever worn a Tech uni form, and on his defensive play he was strongest. However, he charged low, hard and consistently, and is the best man for the other guard. Gregg, 'O4, and Gordon Smith, 'O7. deserve honorable mention. They were good, hard players, but lacked the weight and experience necessary for an ideal linesman. Up to the present season. Tech has always had a bountiful supply of material for the tackles, and some of the best players have been tackles, who, by their tackles and tackle bucks, gave Tech many a game which would have gone the other way. The best tackle that has ever played for Tech was "Pat” Pat terson. He played his best game at tackle In 1910 and maße all-South ern two years. He was very near an ideal linesman, being over six feet tall and weighing around 180. He was undoubtedly the best con sistent ground gainer fhgt played in tne Hue In the South and was a wonder on defense, backing up the line in almost perfect style. He gets one tackle and "Lobster” Brown the other. Brown Bear at Old Game. Brown was an unusually big man. over six feet, and weighing close to 200, every bit as hard as nails, and when that mass of humanity hit the interference it was all off. "Lobster" played his best ball in 1904, when the old style knock down-and-drag-out game was In vogue. He was also a good back field man, and in the last game Tech played with Davidson he kick ed a field goal from the 45-yard line. John Davis, better known as “20 Per Sent Davis;" "Shorty” Sinclair and “Bits" Munroe, 'O6, all played good ball at tackle, but not In the class with the first named. At the ends we have two men who were not of the smashing type, but were heady, quick men, who knew the game like a book, and played hard all the time. At right end we have "Chip” Robert, who played his best game at end in 'O7. He was a better man at offense than defense, and was away above the average in the use of the stiff arm. He was a rather short man, but heavy set, ’ weighing about 170. In his year at end he had a trick of boxing near ly every end he played against, thus allowing "Red” Hill to go for long gains unprotected. The other end is not so easy to pick, it being between Craig Day, 'OS; Goree, 'lO, and Sanchez, 'll. All of these men were scrappy players. Goree was best on the of fense, while Sanchez did his good work as a defensive man. But Day combined the good qualities of both of them, and therefore gets the place. He was one of the fastest men Tech has ever had, and gained many a yard on his end-around end runs. Here we have a line averaging 184 pounds, from end to end, with three all-Southern men and two captains. Have Had Good Backs. It is back field men that Coach Heisman seems to be able to de velop, and Tech has had a large number of way above the average men. NAVY MUST IMPROVE TO DOWN WEST POINT MEN ANNAPOLIS, MD„ Nov. 6.—There is optimism at the Naval academy over the showing of the football team in its game against Western Reserve last Friday and at yesterday’s practice ses sions, but it is admitted that the men must show vastly improved form to be worthy opponents of the Army on No vember 30, The back field is unsettled and there are at least three places on the line which may be regarded as undecided. The weight of the players, taken within the last two or three days, shows that the team is not quite as heavy as thought. The average of the team as it probably will be selected to oppose the Army is 179 pounds. The line averages 182 pounds and the back field 173. Two members of the squad weigh over 200 pounds. G. M. A. AN EASY VICTOR IN GAME WITH TECH HIGH G. M. A. defeated Tech High school yesterday afternoon on the G. M. A. campus by the score of 27 to 0. The game was Interesting throughout, de spite the large score. G. M. A. worked the forward pass several times for long gains, one for a touchdown. Tech High showed up best in the third quarter, when she carried the ball to G. M. A.’s ten-yard line, but was unable to carry it over for a touchdown. For G. M. A., Brown. Babb and La mar played star ball, Brown making several good gains and scoring two touchdowns. For Tech High, Laird, Bedell and Weston played the best game, Laird and Bedell starring on the offensive and Weeton on the defensive.
