The talk was started by the large attendance Denison had during the past season, when, week days as wel! as Sundays, there was always a crowd out for the games. When the season started a subscrip tion list was placed in the hands of a committee and those subscribing gave half the amounts opposite their names toward erecting a fence and grandstand and obtaining players. At the close of the season only half the amount had been collected, as gate receipts had paid off all indebtedness, with a large bal ance on hand. _A_W inter Advantage fYou re going to get a large lot of your winter pleasure from the big MUSE Over coat the coat that creates new gratitude every time it is donned.

Muse Clothing Company I !L» ziiLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1912. 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 ’;•••• ; J HERE’S HEISMAN’S ; J PICK IN GRIDIRON • - GAMES TOMORROW X • • • HARVARD - VANDERBILT— • • The Crimson should win by a • • touchdown or two. Harvard will • • save men for Dartmouth and Yale • • games. • • TECH-SEWANEE Sewanee e j • should win, but I look for the • • prettiest game of the season. • e AUBURN-L. S. U.—Auburn will • • win, but not by more than one • • or two touchdowns. • • TENNESSEE - MERCER —ls e : • Mercer does not go up in the air, • e they should not be beaten by more • | • than two touchdowns. • e ALABAMA - MISSISSI PPI—A • : • red-hot game, with the odds • I • slightly favoring Mississippi. • e • eoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoeeeeeeee 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? minim n min iiiiiiiiihiimhiiim iiiiwiiMMieMwwaßMMWMßMnM Brw! . » ® vvr "' > X .
