When the season started a subscrip

committee and those subscribing gave
half the amounts opposite their names
toward erecting a fence and grandstand

the season only half the amount had
been collected, as gate receipts had paid

Tech's Famous Coach Sizes Up Gridiron Battles Scheduled Tomorrow
HEISMAN PREDICTS A SMALL SCORE AT HARVARD
By J. W. Heisman.
epo most Southerners the game
| of prime importance tomor
row throughout the length
and breadth of the land is the one
booked to take place in Cambridge
between the Commodores and John
ny Harvard.
After "pinning it on” Brown and
Princeton the wav Harvard has he
would be deemed a rash man who
would match his pennies that the
Crimson couldn’t do liksewise to
Vanderbilt, and I am not that tash
man.
For all that, it Is my conviction
that Vanderbilt will put up a game
of which we will all be very proud.
The Commodores have gained some
confidence in themselves through
their splendid victories thus far,
and they seem in fair physical
condition to put up close to their
best game. Harvard will not so
greatly outweigh them, as it is a
comparatively light team at Cam
bridge this year, and when it comes
to speed I doubt if they will be one
whit flashier than the Tennessee
ans.
There is still one factor in favor
of Vanderbilt. Harvard will not.
can not, be nearly so well keyed
for the contest as will Vanderbilt.
They spent themselves to a very
considerable degree against Brown
and Princeton, and they know they
have yet to hold themselves for su
preme efforts against both Dart
mouth and Yale. For Vanderbilt,
on the other hand, the game tomor
row will be the crowning point of
the entire season, and I look to see
them put up quite their best game.
Yes. Harvard should win by a
touchdown or two, but not more
than that, for I have no notion that
Harvard will try to run up a score,
even if they could. If they find the
game going safely thej - are going
to plat- safe, put in subs and spare
ihe regulars. 1 doubt even whethe
Brickley will he put in the game at
all, unless he just must be used to
pull it out of the fire.
But no matter who Harvard lines
up. it is my opinion they will have
as busy a time < f it as Woodrow
Wilson is having in the hand-shak
ing line—only in a different way.
1 believe Vanderbilt will work more
successful forward passes than did
Princeton, and also that they will
make mor ' ground around Har
vard’s ends than did Prine, ton,
which is venturing much when you
remember how fast is Princeton’s
backfield.
I incline likewise to think that
Vanderbilt will stop Harvard’s
bucking game about as well as did
the J’igers, And if bj’ keeping
Brickley out Haivard also keeps
itself out of some goals from
the field, who knows how closely
the? may not be pushed for the de
. 1.-'lon when th? final gong rings’.’
m « *
Sewanee vs. Tech.
PHIS should be a splendid exhibi
tion of the new game, for Se
wanee will probably use more open
plat than did Auburn, and Tech,
as every one knows, can’t hope to
do ,much with ant other kind of
play.
The Tigers are almost, if not
quite, as heavy as was Auburn,
and, coupled with it, they have a
whole lot of speed. Therefore, it is
diiTicult to see how Tech can hope
to do better than they did against
the Alabamians last Saturday. Not
only lias Sewanee a majority of old
players back, but in the new men
they have secured players who
shine with the very best on the
team. '
The game shopld prove important
in contrasting Auburn with Se
wanee, and Tech with Georgia. The
punting duel between Gillem and
McDonald should prove spectacular

to a degree, and as boih teams are

ward pass we may expect some
very pretty plays showing up in
this department.
Yes, Sewanee should win, but
this ought to be the prettiest game
of tiie season, from the standpoint
of the spectator.
* ♦ *
Auburn vs. L. 8. I .
qOME people think Auburn will
wfn this game with ease. As
Auburn’s offense is steadily im
proving and has not struck u sin
gle slump this year, they are. per
haps, justified in this expectation.
An analysis, however, of the game
L. S. U. put up against Miss. A. and
M. shows that L. S. V. slightly out
played the A. and M„ even though
they lost the game. And it will be
remembered that Auburn only won
from A. and M. by a’ touchdown
after an 80-yard run, which might
not happen again were the two
teams to play a dozen more games
thi.' season.
If L. S. U. plays their best game,
they should make it mighty dis
agreeable for Auburn. Still, I look
to see the A. P. I. win, by not more
than one or two touchdowns.
In passing, let me say. that Au
burn has about as much drive to
their play as any team I have seen
in many, many moons. This does
well always against a light team
like Tech, but it alone will be of
little avail against Vanderbilt, for
the Commodores are even heavier
than the Auburnites, and they will
stop the latter’s heavy plunges. In
addition, Auburn’s tackling is rag
ged and high and will have to be
greatly improved if they are to .
stand any show against the polish
ed young gentlemen from Nashville.
• * *
Alabama vs. Mississippi.
qp HIS will be another red-hot
. game, with the odds slightly fa
voring Mississippi. Alabama is on
its feet and playing fine ball, but
the boys from "Ole Mississip’’ will
be. I fear, a little too heavy for
them. It will be recalled what a
tarter Vanderbilt struck in them,
and, in spite of tfie loss of the quar
tet of stars who w ere ruled out this
year, they still have plenty of other
good men to fill the shoes of the
departed. Barker, the left tackle,
is an especially able man. and it is
sate to saj that nothing will be
gained by the Tuscaloosans over
his side of the line.
By the way. since H. Vandegraaf
was put at half back for Alabama,
he is doing’ even better work than
he did at end.
Tennessee vs. Mercer.
'T'HIS should be a fine game.
Mercer has found itself, as was
evidenced by its tremendous
score, against Stetson, and it has
about as much weight as have the
Volunteers. If Mercer men will
keep their heads and not suffer
from stage fright, they should keep
Tennessee from feeling too lone
some during the afternoon.
Yet it must be conceded that on
the season’s record to date Tennes
see has been playing, the better ball
and should win the game. They will
be slightly handicapped by the fact
that the game takes place on the
Baptists’ stamping ground, but with
the spirit they are putting into their
play this Will probably not count
for much.
Mercer should not be beaten by
more than a touchdown or two. but
if they go up in the air there is no
telling how high the scon will go
up after them.
• • *
A Few (’omnients.
you notice what a black ■ ye
Florida gave Charleston college 7
I guess Tech did well to get away
with those wildcats down there.
Too bad no S. 1. A. A. teams play
any of the Texas colleges this year.
We don’t know or hear a thing
about them this fall.
And Clemson fell down to South
Carolina, while Sewanee couldn’t
quite put it over on Georgia. What
are the answers? No mutter. By
Thanksgiving night we ll all know
all about it.
Must all the team:- are dabbling
in forward pass sto< k this year, ami
most of them show much improve
ment. Princeton’s forward passes
in the Harvard game, though, in
the second half, in their own terri
tory and against the wind, proved
their undoing. What emdd it be
under those conditions but a really,
truly boomerang?
