half the amounts opposite their names
toward erecting a fence and grandstand

Tech's Famous Coach Sizes Up Gridiron Battles Scheduled Tomorrow
HEISMAN PHEDICTS A SMALL SCORE AT HARVARD
By J. W. Heisman.
TO 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 way 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 rash
man.
For all 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, i
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 yea:. and when It comes
to speed I doubt if they’ will be one
yvhit 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 1 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 they are going
to play safe, put in subs and spare
the regulars. I doubt even whether
Brickley will be 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 of it as Woodrow
Wilson is having in the hand-shak
ing line—only in a different way.
I believe Vanderbilt will work more
successful forward passes than did
Princeton, and also that they will I
make more ground around Har
vard's ends than did Princeton,
which is venturing much when you
remember how fast is Princeton’s
backfield.
1 incline likewise to think that
Vanderbilt will stop Harvard's
bucking game about as well as did
the Tigers. And if by keeping
Brickley out Harvard also keeps
itself out of some goals from
the field, who knows how closely
they may not be pushed for the de
cision when th“ final gong rings'.’
• • •
Sewanee vs. Tech.
'JPHIS should be a splendid exhibi-
• tion of the new game, for Se
wanee will probably- use more open
play- than did Auburn, and Tech,
as every one knows, can’t hope to
do much with'any 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
difficult 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 should 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 both teams are
top-notchers in the use of the for
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 the season, from the standpoint
of the spectator.
• * •
Auburn vs. L. S. I’.
q OME people think Auburn will
win this game with ease. As
Auburn’s offense is steadily im
proving and has not struck a 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. F. 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
this 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
sfund'any show agrritist the polish
ed young gentlemen from Nashville.
* * *
Alabama vs. Mississippi.
qpHIS 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 the loss of the quar
tet of stars who were ruled out this
year, they- “till 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
safe to say 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 score will go
up after them.
« « «
A Few Comments.
you notice what a black eye
A' Florida gave Charleston college?
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 matter. By
Thanksgiving night we’ll all know
all about it.
Most all the teams are dabbling
in forward pass stock this year, and
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 could it be
under those conditions but a really-,
truly boomerang?

Tobacco
Whether you smoke it in a jimmy pipe or as a cigarette.
Take it from any angle, Prince Albert simply measures right
up to every idea of what a smoke should be. Pack in your old
jimmy and it opens up a new delight in pipe smoking. Roll up
a cigarette and you have the finest paper-coated smoke ever com
pounded. Burns evenly, with none of that die-out-between
whiffs habit. And doesn’t burn up in flash like dried-out, chaff
brand tobaccos. P. A. is long burning and it’s handy for
cigarette smokers because it is easily handled on a windy day.
ENow, Mr. Man —you who think you can’t
smoke a pipe—give P. A. the third degree in
YOUR jimmy pipe. You’ll find all its
promises right in bloom.
Put this on ice: Prince Albert won’t bite your
tongue. The sting is taken out by the patent
process that we spent three years and a fortune
to perfect.
All live tobacco shops, in tidy red 10 cent tint,
t°PPy red 5 cent cloth bags, half-pound and pound
tin humidors with moistener pads in top, and
pound glass humidors with a sponge in the lid.
