Ttie difference in the mental at

t ,i p’ay a big part in that contest,
is a fact few football fol
lowets realize. Harvard is over

boys are more than likely to give

er that comes the clash with Yale.
Houghton Is not going to take any
chances on having any such stars
as Wendell and Brickley crippled
before these two hard games, and
it has even been hinted that the
wonderful toe of Charlie Brickley
may not flash but for half of the
struggle with the Commodores.
Should all this really’ be the case.
Vanderbilt is likely to get such a
jump on Harvard that even if the
regulars are rushed in to stall off
defeat the change may come too
late.
Before every game of conse-

W/a PEACHTREE
UPSTAIRS
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y
FOR IfI LE A
is easy to see. That happened in
the game last Saturday with Am
mie Sikes.
Their Dander Will Be Up.
"Os course. Vanderbilt will be at
a disadvantage at Cambridge, be
cause they are playing away from
home." This is the argument put
up by many football fans, all of
which is the exact opposite of the
real conditions.
To be sure, Vanderbilt will be at
a disadvantage because of the long
trip, but as for the foreign field,
the Commodores have never yet
failed to play better surrounded
by sympathizers of the enemy than
at home among friends. The very
fact that there are none or few
friends in the stands seems to set
as a stimulant. This will be the
case today.
Considering the game from a
pychological viewpoint. Vandy has
certain advantages. But unfortu
nately for the Commodores the
men have to meet much brawn,
which, alas, may put the psycholo
gy to the bad. Tile Harvard eleven
is far heavier, more experienced,
and in better shape than Vander
bilt.
In the kicking department. Har
vard will have it all over the Com
modores. if Brickley plays. Van
derbilt will bend all energies to
block hie attempts at field goals.
This man has 6een performing
marvels lately and is due an off
day. In the first place, Brickley
will take his time against Van
derbilt. thinking that he has all
day with his powerful line in front
of him. Right there he will find he
is mistaken. It’s dollars to the
holes in doughnuts that he will be
rushed harder when kicking in the
Vanderbilt game than he was in
the Princeton game. Vanderbilt
has been working on a defense for
his kicking as well as for the reg
ular Harvard attack.
Then there is this, too. Brickley
may possibly’ be taken so by sur
prise on his first attempts at kick
ing that he is more liable to lose his
cunning on account of nervousness.
After a man has had his kicks
blocked or nearly so once or twice,
he will be in such a hurry to get
the next one off that it will bo
wilder than a March hare.
, Vandy’s Punters Punk.
As for the punting, that will be
where the Commodores get in bad
sure enough, if Felton is as good a
man as he is cracked up to be.
There is not even a fair punter on
the Vanderbilt team. Curlin and
Robins do well in practice some
times; but not even when ■ they
have all day do they get their boots
off with anything like the regular
ity that should be attained by the
punter of the Vanderbilt team of
1912. Felton may gain consider
able ground by his kicking and that
very thing may be the factor to
change the tide of battle. How
ever, if Curlin stands up as he did
against Virginia in the back field,
assisted occasionally by Captain
Lewie Hardage, Vanderbilt nay
have the edge on Harvard in re
turning punts, and thus make up
for some of the lost distance in the
actual punting.
Finally’ there is this to say. That,
though Harvard is mechanically far
better than Vanderbilt, the Commo
dores will give them one of the
liveliest young scraps they have
had, and when it is finished the
chances are that the Crimson will
not use Vanderbilt again to fill in
for a rest game.

FATE SURE LIKES TO FLIRT WITH FIRST SACKERS
By Bill Bailey.
\ NY time that a first baseman
breaks into tlie limelight as
a great big star and attracts
the attention of the baseball world
be had better hustle around and
get a bit of accident, to say noth
ing of burglar, insurance.
The kind of injury that lie wants
to provide against is not of the
broken bone variety, "but he sure
does want to guard against a sprain
in his reputation. And while he is
in no more danger of being robbed
of his shekels than a second sack
er, he surely is likely to be touched
for his glory. Because it looks
like the baseball fate that shoots
the first baseman into the lime
light always does so with the pur
pose of boosting, just to sec how
far the favorite can fall.
Stahl a Real Champion.
Jake Stahl, the manager of the
world’s champions, is the latest
first sacker who stands in danger
of receiving one swift kick from
the invisible power than makes or
breaks the stars of the spangles.
Now. no one is going to argue for a
moment that Stahl occupied a back
seat during the season just closed.
Jake occupied a choice seat in the
front row and any time that the
fans talked about the great men of
1912 the name of the Boston man
ager was mentioned. You know the
story wen£ the rounds that the Red
Sox finished up there because they
got a first sacker when they need
ed one. Stahl’s managerial abil
ity had much to do with winning
the pennant and the world’s cham
pionship. But his playing was an
other big factor. Heinle Wagner
ami the other infielders just cut
loose with that big mark to throw
at.
\r n" bO Tt v hi ? s lla,i any sympathy for
Miller Huggins since he accepted a job
us the Cardinals' manager. They say it
was his own fault.

I YALE EXPECTS TROUBLE
IN GAME WITH BROWN
; NEW HAVEN. C'>NN., Nov. 9.—The
game with Brown here today was of
particular interest because it showed
the blue for the last time in the field
before the championship game with
Princeton next Saturday. Laie right
fully looked for a stiff battle today be
cause the Yale game has always been
the real climax of the Brown season,
and Brown has always played best at
I this time. There was considerable
; doubt whether Carl Gallaeur would
start in the game at his end position
because of a muscle bruise which has
been giving him pain.

FODDER FOR FANS
Well, it's by no means certain
that Stahl will be able to play next
year. He injured his ankle before
the close of the season. He had to
get hack on it before it had en
tirely healed, and there is now the
chance that he will be unable to go
through a strenuous schedule,
which would be tough sledding for
the Red Sox. They wouldn’t lose
the services of Stahl, of course.
But they would lose his first base
play. Stahl would sit on the
bench and direct affairs. And Jake
may entertain the notion that he
would do his team Just as much
good as if he were out there grab
bing the wide throws. Which may
and may not be true. Only time
can tell. But Stahl has this in
his favor: If he discovered that sit
ting on the bencli wasn’t helping
his men up there, he could jump
out and play. If his ankle would
permit, of course.
Stahl’s predicament isn’t the first
or last time that fate has stepped
in and handed a first baseman a
fine wallop. In fact, fate seems to
have selected the first basemen for
her enemies. There’s Frank L.
Chance, P. L., Big Bear and pos
sessor of half a dozen other titles.
Looked like fate was working to sec
just how high the boss of the Cubs
could be boosted. . He won pen
nants and world's' championsnips.
He did about everything it was
possible to do in baseball. Then he
received one grand kick.
Chance Has Reason to Grin.
But Chance got one good laugh
on his Nemesis all right. When
he left Chicago for his California
home he had a bunch of mighty
good coupons in his grip or strong
box and he was assured of several
days work In clipping them.

Which recalls the sad fate of an
other first baseman who also
reached the heights that he might
be toppled to the depths. Harry
Davis is this man. You know it
was generally believed that Davis
bad quite as much to do witli the
."access of the Athletics as Con
nie Mack. He was hailed as a
winner before he had over man
aged a ball club, and the Cleve
land fans soared about as high as
lans can before their favorites have
actually demonstrated their supe
riority. And Davis wasn’t even
present when the schedule was lin
.ished. All the reputation lie had
built up in years was lost in a sin
gle season.
Merkle Also in Danger.
Down in New York they claim
that the much-buffeted Fred Mer
kle will know what it is to be beat
en out of a place as a regular.
Merkle, termed the prize "bone
head" of all time for doing what
every other player was in the habit
of doing and then halli d ns a man
game enough to come from behind
and show his real worth, is said to
be due to sit on the bench or figure
in a trade.
Claude Rossman is another firs,
sacker who has been up and down.
He was about the only man on the
L>etroit team in 1907 who showed
why the Tigers were better than a
second division bail club. And
away he went to the minors.
Jiggs Donahue is another first
sacker who heard the wild plaudits
of the fans and then dropped out of
sight. Jiggs' first basing in the
memorable struggle between the
Sox and tlie Cubs in 1906 was one
of the big events of that civil war
struggle. And Jiggs now is down
and out.
Tom Jones Also Stung.
Tom Jones is another first sack
er with whom fate flirted, and Tom
surely was singed. It sure looks
like the fate of the game is always
boosting some first sacker and that
when the fellow with tlie mitt gets
up there this same fate turns and
gives him a nice, healthy swat.

On Gridirons Today Will Clean
Up the International Situation
By Monty.
"I XAST versus West and North
yersus South are the wild
calls of tin. football world
today. Almost all general interest
is absorbed by the two big inter
sectional conflicts that head the
card —Harvard against Vanderbilt
at Cambridge and Pennsylvania
versus Micnigan at Philadelphia.
The intersectional football of the
year—that is, on a big scale will
be cleaned up practically at one |
sitting, and after the shades of I
night fall this evening the a: gu
llets will have just about all of
their evidence and dope at hand
and can proceed to make deduc
tions to proclaim resoundingly for
the benefit of both friend and foe.
Aside from Harvard, the Big
Three will see the day go by with- I
out a scrap that lias any particu
lar importance. And even the
Crimson can neither benefit nor
harm its chances for the Eastern
title by victory or the reverse in
the tussle with the Southern score
amassers.
Yale’s annual battle with Brown
r.t New Haven, though looked to
as a sure win for the Blue, may.
nevertheless. prove a genuine
light each inch of the v. ay. but it
bears no particular weight toward
determining the championship.
Princeton's frolic at home with
New York university visiting is
nothing more than an exercise gal

Dartmouth, the most imposing
outsider, already Is out of the lau
