CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Nov. 9.
This is the afternoon of
Vanderbilt’s Big Test. For
the first time in all football history
a Commodore eleven plays Har
vard. It is the first time in the
memory of football men here
when the Crimson has ever sched
uled a football game with a team
from the South.
It is a game in which age,
weight, experience, prestige, train
ing, coaching and everything else
point toward Harvard —or seem to.
Only one advantage are folks here
really willing to concede to the men
from Tennessee —and that’s mental
attitude.
The difference in the mental at
titude of the two teams is going
to play a big part in that contest,
which is a fact few football fol
lowers realize. Harvard is over
confident; Vanderbilt isn’t. And,
furthermore, in all the Commo
dores’ real big games they always
play way above their form as a re
sult of the wonderful pre-game
talks that Coach McGugin always
hands his players. .
Harvard Expects Cinch.
Harvard is expecting in Vander
bilt a light team, which, they will
admit, is fast and "may know some
football,” yet they consider the
Commodores a much easier eleven
than the big Brown team. For this
reason it is now the idea of Coach
Percy Haughton to use a team
composed almost entirely of substi
tutes. The Vanderbilt game is fol
lowed by a tough scrap with Dart
mouth, and the Green Mountain
boys are more than likely to give
Harvard far more trouble than
they did the Princeton Tigers. Aft
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
nay 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
quence Dan McGugin gets his play
around him and what he says to
them keys them up to a concert
pitch. Right here is shown the ge
nius of the man. It is not the
words, hut the magnetism of the
man that works the marvel. He
as the remarkable faculty of
touching the lighting strings, and
in does it. too. Furthermore. Me
'lngin 'feels all that he says. He
is not an actor, t the contrary,
he is so highly strung during the
hard battles that his whole being
is plunged into the minutest detail
of the play.
On more than one occasion be
tw-een the halves of some big game
every player on the team has re
turned to the game with tears
streaming down his cheeks. What
Dan .McGugin has said has stuck.
And the result? Well, when a
man faints after the first half from
sheer pain and is not able to stand
up until time for the beginning of
tlie second half, then goes In and
plays ball like a demon, the result

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 Commodones the
men have to meet much brawn,
which, alas, may put the psycholo
gy to the bad. The 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 his attempts at field goals.
This man has been 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 be
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. Curliu 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 may
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.
ANY time that a first baseman
breaks into the limelight as
a great big star and attracts
the attention of the baseball world
he had better hustle around and
get a bit of accident, to say noth
ing of burglar, insurance.
The kind of injury that he wants
to provide against is n<?t 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 see 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-
was mentioned. You know the
story went 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. Heinie Wagner
and the other infielders just cut
loose with that big mark to throw
at.

sillier Huggins since he accepted a job
as the Cardinals’ manager. They say it
was his own fault.

YALE EXPECTS TROUBLE
IN GAME WITH BROWN
NEW HAVEN, CONN., 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
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.

Yesterday's 10 to 9 defeat of Mississippi
has aroused the spirits of the team

“CUPID” CHILDS DIES

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.—Clarence

player, died here today after a linger
ing illness. He was 45 years of age,
Childs began his baseball career In the
North Carolina State league in 1883.
He joined the ('lowland National league
team in 1889, and for years ranked us
■fl.• of tin- most eonsl.-t nt batsmen and
j fielders in the second base position in
that league.
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 back 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
wmuld 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 bench 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 see
just how high the boss of the Cubs
could be boosted. He won pen
nants and world's championships.
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 tight. When
he left Chicago for his California
‘home he had a bunch of mighty
good coupons in his grip or strong
box and he nas 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
had quite as much to do with the
success of the Athletics as Con
nie Mack. He was hailed as a
winner before he had ever man
aged a ball club, and the Cleve
land fans soared about as high as
fans can before their favorites have
actually demonstrated their supe
riority. And Davis wasn’t even
present when the schedule was fin
ished. All the reputation he had
built up in years was lost in a sin
gle season.
Merkle Also in Danger.
Down In New York they qjaim
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 hailed as 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 first
sacker who has been up and down.
He was about the only man on the
Detroit team in 1907 who showed
why the Tigers were better than a
second division ball club. And
away he went to the minors.
Jlggs 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 the Cubs in 190tj was one
of the big events of that civil war
strugglq. 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 the 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.
EAST versus West and North
versus South are the wild
calls of the 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 Michigan 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
night fall this evening the argu
flers 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
out a scrap that has 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
at New Haven, though looked to
as a sure win for the Blue,' may,
nevertheless, prove a genuine
light each inch of the way, but It
bears no particular weight toward
determining the championship.
Princeton's frolic at home with
New York university visiting Is
nothing morse than an exercise gal
lop.
Dartmouth, the most imposing
outsider, already is out of the lau
rel race by virtue of its defeat by
Princeton, and, of course, so is Cor
nell, so the game between these
two at Ithaca counts for nothing
except as for itself —and itself can
not fail to be an overwhelming run
over for Dartmouth.
