This is Mr. Heisman’s last sea son at Tech, under his old con tract. • • • THE strongest reason for believ ing that Mr. Heisman may go to Pennsylvania next year is that a rumor to that effect has seeped 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. Ho 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 eoach in the state of (thio, and he Is today the oldest coach In point 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.

I’HE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1912. 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'. Birring Dan McGugin. who is. ill 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. • • • pOR nil the fact that Georgia men * profess to hate Heisman, it is a. fact that they have wanted to get him in years past. At pres ent they have Coach Cunningham under a three-year contract, and it 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. * * • /A F 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- , rnann, chairman of the national coni- . mission, and Ban Johnson, president of i the American league. McGraw and 1 Johnson have buried the hatchet after 1 several years’ enmity. j McGraw made two suggestions which ; the two members of the national com- i mission thought well of and which they said would likely be adopted before 1 rnjtny months have flown. ( In the world series when the Giants I 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 i 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. 1 the Giants would have done all of their cannonading for nothing. McGraw suggested that a rule he made for future world’s se: ies 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 - necks 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 th g.une see the play-off free of charge, ihci seat cheeks being sufii- . elent credential to get them into the park. HAHVAROWDRKS HARD FOR DAME WITH ■! By Howell Foreman (Former Atlanta Newspaper Man Now Student at Harvard.) CAMBRIDGE, MASS.. Nov. 6. Scarcely had the echo of the moa.nful 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 to whip and to shape some some new offensive formations. Sammy Felton booted the pigskin all over the lot. 3 e 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 rvere 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 Hain Corbett, ’ll. Be sides Haughton, Coaches Daly, Leary, Wiggles worth, Paul and Lo throp, Withington, Brown and Fisher continually pounded the new' ideas into the nead 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’S CAPTAIN MAY NEVER PLAY AGAIN WASHINGTON. Nov. 6. —“Jack" Hegarty, captain of the Georgetown uni versity football team, it was an nounced today, is suffering- from inju ries so serious tiiat 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 turn 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 far from the best. AMERICAN-BRED NAGS 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 tile 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 mo e in France with Shannon, an American bred colt sired by the brilliant race horse Irish Lad. 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 .--take races b> the American jockey, Frank O’Neill, who comes from Paris each time the horse races. Tech Football Elevens a Joke Until Coach Heisman Was Secured YELLOW JACKETS ALL-TIME TEAM GREAT MACHINE 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 Heistnan, 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 Heisman-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 any of whom would make a most excellent man. These are Sims, ’OS: Snider, ’O7. and I.oeb, ’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 man, but not up to Sims on offense. He broke interference wonderfully well and always played a jam-up game under all conditions. 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 Plays. 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. X 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 tlie 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 'nave 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 made all-South ern two years. He was nearly an Ideal linesman, being over six feet tall and weighing around 180. lie was undoubtedly the best con sistent ground gainer that played in tne line in the South and was a |••••••••••••■•••«••••••••• • Here Are Best Men • Os Tech's History • • • • Sims Center • • Sinclair and Snider Guards • • Patterson and Brown .. ..Tackles • • Robert and Day Ends • • Wilson Quarter • • Davis and Goree Halves • • Clark Fullback • • • 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. The other end is not so easy to pick. It is among Craig Day, 'OS; Goree, ’lO, and Sanchez, 'll. All of these men were scrappy players. Goree was best on the of- 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 Weston on the defensive. sense, 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. The competition for quarter back and half back place is hard For quarter there are such men as Buchanan. Butler and Johnson, each of whom played a jam-up game in one or more departments, but it is "Doc" Wilson, ’O9, who gets the palm for being the best quartei back Tech has ever had. He was not extra good on defense, but a marvel on running back punts, broken field running and line buck ing. He was a natural born player. It was his signal calling and head work that made the 1909 team one of the best Tech has ever had. At the halves we have a large number of good men. Parrish, ’OB, was the best de fensive half in the business. He was like a stone wall when it came to stopping a line buck. "Billy Wilson, ’OS, was a good offensive man. “Piggy" Hightower, 'O6, was also a good ground gainer, and we all know what a fierce line buek er was Lewis, of the 1910 team; but these men were light, and we have to give the places to John Davis. ’OS, and Goree, ’ll. Davi was big and ploughed through the line with telling effect, while Goree did both, only, being lighter, he was best at end runs. It was in the Sewanee game of last year that Goree showed Atlanta fans what real line bucking was. And now, last, but not least, the full back, and only one man loomt high above the rest, and that is “Automobile” Clark, captain of t' 1905 team. When the ball had to be put across he was the man to do it. Oußard Was a Good Man. Walter Dußard, of the 1910 team, deserves honorable mention for ! superior showing in the early p.i 1 ’ of the season, and had he kept tl pace, he would have been all-Tech all-time, for some time to come. Here we have a back field aver aging 175 pounds, worthy of 1 consideration of all-Southern pick ers. This combination of brain ■ brawn is the best Tech team thi. could be put in the field, and man' a season will pass before the t low Jackets will again have - :1 men as these. -— BLOOD POISON Piles and Rectal Diseases CURED TO STAY CURED f, By a true spei e . “"TBk who possesses the > perience of year" w 1 right kind of expen jff ence—doing the same - \ thing the right "‘V hundreds and perl “v thousands of tnn J with unfailing, perina z nent results ’ ting or detention fro 1 business.
