6 <®O»AN OTTCMWnHm Tigers Picked to Trim Tech Today; But They Are Likely to Have Their Hands Quite Full nave lheir r By Per< y IL Whiting. I IE ■' I the Tech football schedule will be wiped ■ ,ff the slat< this afternoon. At 2:3(i the Yellow Jackets line up against their tradi tional and justly respected foemen from the mountains of Tennessee, the cohorts of the University of the South, located at Sewanee. This game isn't for any title Tech lost its last look-in for (bst or second place Inst Saturday when Auburn took ’h< number of the lo cal eleven, took it decisively In a hard. 1 isn't for anything but Just rod b >od and good sport. Sewanee can't well afford to lose tin verdict and is hardly likely to do it To Tech it means nothing but one mote game against a stiong team. The Jackets are entering the struggle, however, as blithely and as unconcernedly as though they were going to warm up „ for a few minutes against the scrubs. Good. Clean Game —That's AH. All tills being true, the tans who turn out for tlie struggle will see a corking good gam,- oi football, with plenty of good, clean, clever play ing. The • is nothing but the best of feiling between the players and should lie nothing except the best of sportsman-hip shown. Both teams have been taught to play tl. it top speed, I ow< ver, and rill do it. Sewanee will win. by two to font touchdowns no doubt. But they will get a good work-out, ail right, ’ and they will see some football Hutt will surprise them. Tech plays the modern gam. in Its most modern form. The fact that the Georgia play mt will watch the game will hardly prevent them I from uncorking all they have In the shop. They did that against Auburn. So they haven’t much to hide. Os course. Coach Heisman always saves up a few "brainstorm" plays for Georgia, but in the main he will instruct his team to go the limit against Sewanee. And all the Georgia men can leant they are entitled to. The Sewanee team ns it stands today is a strong one. It played Georgia to an intensely exciting tie. If Georgia defeats Auburn on Thanksgiving day—as it may or may not do—Sewanee will be tied with the Red and Black for second place In the ranking, always pre suming that Vanderbilt will go through its S. I. A. A season with out a defeat, as seems probable. This Sheldon a Marvel. From all reports, Sewanee has a man who will bear watching so all-S. 1. A. A. honors in Sheldon. Charley Wahoo, former Carlisle player and prominent official, says of Sheldon: "That man really knows football. He is not only one of the most brilliant players 1 have ever seen in the South, but more that- that he plays the game with a style that is only attained by the average man afte: six or seven years on the gridiron—the sort of style that Is attained by players who have three or four years in prep school and then four In col lege. He is really a marvelous player." The work of the Sewanee team always holds a special interest to the lovers of true sport, for Se wanee is giving a careful try-out to the graduate system of coaching, and for several years the team has been handled by Harris Cope, of Cartersville, Ga„ a man who played brilliant football for Sewanee for years and who has been remarkably successful in coaching the elevens. Sewanee has a number of prom inent and wealthy alumni In At lanta and the Sewanee-Tech games have a social angle that make them , second only in social prominence to the Georgia-Tech battle, the big game ot the year in Atlanta from every angle.

Nov. 9.—Several of the University of Georgia football warriors left this morning for Atlanta to witness the annual gridiron struggle between Tech and Sew anee. The local play - ers will watch the game closely so as to get a lino on the real strength of the Yellow Jackets, as they tig tire that Coach Heisman will turn loose everything in his category in an effort to get the decision over the Tigers. As regards the Tech game, Geor gia supporters believe that tlie Red and Black will win by a narrow margin and not by a big score, as has been predicted by many of the "wise ones." The prowess of one J. Heisman is too well known and commands too much respect In these quarters—and for this reason alone a small score is expected. Georgia has at last struck its stride, as is manifested by the work of the players in the Sewanee and Clemson games. The* playing strength of the line has increased 40 per cent within the past two weeks and the interference is now all that could be asked for. Through a series of unfortunate injuries. Coach Cunningham has unearthed a wonderful tackle in Henderson. In the Sewanee game Harrell was laid up for repairs, and Wood, a substitute, was sent into the game. Wood’s work did not satisfy Cunningham, who sent Henderson to the rescue. The tac kle position was entirely new to Idm. but the great game he put up will long be remembered by all who witnessed th< contest. He also did magnificent work in th, Clemson gamt. and as a result will i>e re tained at tackle for the remainder THE ATLANT \ GEORGIAN AND NEWS.SATERDAY, NOVEMBER 9. 1912.

(A member of Vanderbilt’s eleven o ’93, and one of the best linemen in th; South at that time.) fTAHE spectator in tile grandstand • and the experienced critic may have very different notions as to whether a certain play is really a great one. If tlie spectacular fea tures are present, producing the de sirt>d thrill, the crowd in the grand stand will not be nice about weigh ing the strength, agility, skill or good judgment displayed in a per formance which the experieneed football man Inay condemn as very bad playing. But on the merits of the star per formance of Vanderbilt’s fourth game with Sewanee, in the autumn of ’93. the grandstand and side lines were in entire accord. Billy (’loveland, the Purple’s fa mous half back, furnished tlie sen sation. Vanderbilt had already been de feated m an earlier game that sea son on the Mountain, but it was believed that the team had been rounded into shape tor retrieving that disaster. On the toss Vander bilt took the ball, defending the north goal. By p- rsistent hammering at Straight football, by which the re quired distance Was barely covered on each serie- of downs. Sewanee was forced back to within three [ yard- of her won goal line. Hero It I was first down. On the next play I Sew (ue, secured the ball on a fum ble and , (ily inches away from tlie goal. Any well ordered mind would have rested with sedate confidence on the certainty of a punt at this crisis, and the prompt dispositions of tlie Tiger.- seemed about to jus tify such a reasonable expectation. But those dispositions wire only a fuko. The oval was to Uleve land, at half. He was tall, well built, weighed about 170 pounds, I and looked the very picture of an athlete, vthll, there was a dush about his playing that would haw made him a favorite with the giandstand. no matter what Ills 1 other qualltl, - might have been lb w;i- also at, li s, eond man. .< I.nt which it" on- piesent at thal would lit citrwl aflerw trtl I When tin i>u 11 was passed there End Ilntlon snapped just as he gathered in a long punt down the gridiron. This boy is light ning fast. was no loitering to gather flowers. The play had been well conceived, and was faultlessly executed. Sewanee’s quarter and left half back passed outside of Vanderbilt’s right tackle, as the interference against the latter’s back field, with Cleveland on their heels. The ruse of the punt had paved the way, and Cleveland’s speed and dodging did the rest. Soon he was head ing a procession of the Old Gold and Black players down across the field for a touchdown. In Sewanee’s first play she had scored a touchdown after a run of something over 107 yards. While’ ('leveland was the star per former. his support was all that could have been desired; every man performed his part with tlie preci sion and thoroughness that ordi narily results only from the most careful coaching. With this beginning, aided ,by her superior offensive work, Sewa nee scored a decisive victory, her first upon Dudley Field. A. A. C. SWIMMERS WORK FOR MEET WITH B. A. C.

PITTING IHORT ROUTETOFAME IN BASEIALL By Damon Ruvon. IF your young son nhifests ar incurable desire tdbecome a baseball player, ati you find him tooling around firs base, ot the outfield, or the seeoit or third or even peering with inr'4ti; e eag . erness through the meUs of a piask. lead that youthful arty otti behind the barn and have speech with him.. Put on a catching gloveLj ex . amine the condition of his looting arm. He may have a wh« y un . suspected hope to his fai ball, along with a nice curve anisome change of pace. Such the ease, it becomes your parentufiuty to admonish him to enter llfias a pitcher of baseballs. Speak to him as follows: "Son, there is a great deal class to a Cobb, but consider tl: skinned thighs which come tror. the sliding appertaining to the run ning of bases. Consider, too, th# daily labor—the 154 games of base ball, during which the man who would be a Tvrus must pound the pill for better than .400, or lose caste among his people. “Consider the enormous amount ot energy which must be expended every two hours out of the 24 by the Hal Chases, and the Honus M agners, and the I.ari v Doyles of our time. Each and every day they have the sanr- old strain and wor ry; each and every day they must perform their work with marvelous efficiency or be panned to a whis per. No alibis go in their case- “And then, my son. pause and think of the life, of the .slothful ease of the pitcher, who works two or three times a week, but who gets practically as much money, and eke as much fame. He wins his game and the labors of the <'obits and the other men behind him are forgotten in the gossip of his prov - ess; he loses and the men are sacri ficed for their shortcomings, and he is excused on the ground of an off day. "Be a pitcher, my son—be a Mathewson, or a Wood, or a John son, and you will find the path to the vaudeville stage as east- from the mound as it is from the out field." Scout Sent to Take a Peep. Having concluded your lecture all you have to do is to turn ye.:, son loose wdh a baseball In I ls hand and let hint wander th or.gh the bushes until such time as i-m ie big league manager locates him er the advice of ffiends. A big league scout may stumble.across him ac cidentally, but nowadays the man ager usually hetrs about the ph - noms and then sends the ivmy hunter to confirm or deny tie- news. The demand f<r pitching inateri:i! is never satisfied In the big The box is the surest sho: t cut to fame. A nianagh may have t or three men siting on bis bench who are better in Steer ability thi.u men playing in h|g regular llm and the manager nfty know that to be a fact—but lact of experienv , or other reasons, nay keep them long in the backg'ound, whereas the pitcher usually inds big league opportunity- crowdirg him at all stages. It is sometimes oily after two or three years of steady playing that an infielder or an outfielde: reaps the reward of tbility, where as a young pitcher nay step im mediately into the liffivlight. Claude Hendrix, a two-year man; Larry ■Cheney and Jeff TesreJu, wiio have had only a year of bij league ex perience, are the pitching leader.- of the National league Hugh Bt - dient gained great ftene after a few months on a majorjench. while Jimmy Lavender, anothlr first-yea man. mopped up mueb glory thi last season. Os course, a Ty CoL or Tris Speaker can not long Le denied, but these are exceptiop.l case 3 . Every big league mlnager b' grooming youngsters wlf will one day be stars of the baseiall world, but meanwhile, while the.arc gain ing their education, youif twirlers, who joined on after the did, are slipping into sudden sane. It might be argued thafwhlie the pitcher does not work a hard as tlie other players, neithe does ho last as long in the big lague, but that argument is answerfl by the fact that several of theforemost figures in the game todayare vet eran heaver-. Mathewson in Harness 1 Years. Christy Mathewson Its been pitching for twelve years, Jid is to day one of the highest!salaried men in the game. He is ecounted well off in this world's gods He is good for several years lore. Ed Walsh is a comparative veteran, and ktill one ot' the ftvogreatest heavers In the world. Tnrc is no reason why a man likoi Walter Johnson should not go otas long as Mathewson, or why la.qua c shonl,’. not last as long i- Eddie Plunk, who <s in uid-tiina <■ ba I players go. but who flnM> d .uh mid among tin- twlt’ei J of his league last season.
