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 BLOOD POISON c’u , Wo"f„ R ' s ' T >; , Y O Kl,‘?6.

MARTIN MAY ' 191/ a PEACHTREE UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES y FOR SALE 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.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1912 Chance, Davis, Rossman, Jones and Donahue Chased by Hard Luck 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. bf J s liail any sympathy for sillier Huggins since he accepted a job as the Cardinals’ manager. They say it was his own fault. .J h t C J Jbs are wi >lmg to trade Tinker to the Reds for seven first-class players. Jhe Reds are willing to give an experi ence-! bat boy for Tinker.

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. CLASS JUST OOZES OUT OF MICHIGAN-PENN GAME PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9.—The an -1 nual contest between Michigan and the I University of Pennsylvania on FTank- I lin field this afternoon lacked its ac- I eustomed interest because of the fact I Syracuse, an Eastern eleven, and i Pennsylvania has lost continually since the season began. However, re ports from Ann Arbor 4 indicated that the Westerners have materially im proved since the Syracuse game, anil Coach Andy Smith, of the Pennsylva nia team, was hopeful that his charges had gained by hard work they have received. WITH OLD MISS OUT OF WAY ALABAMA GETS BUSY TUSCALOOSA, ALA., Nov. 9.—The Alabama football schedule is approach ing its climax —or as near to a climax as It will ever get until a game with Auburn is included in the schedule. Yesterday's 10 to 9 defeat of Mississippi has aroused the spirits of the team members and their followers as nothing else could. “CUPID” CHILDS DIES AFTER_LONG ILLNESS BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.—Clarence (•‘Cupid'') Childs, an old-time ball 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.

MACON, GA., Nov. 9.—-The hardest game of the season for the Mercer men will be played this afternoon, when they meet the Tennessee eleven. This will be the first time that the two teams have met. The visitors have a bunch of big men, who will outweigh the Bap tists some fifteen or eighteen pounds to the man. An attempt to compare the scores would make it look like a pretty big Job for the Orange and Black supporters. Tennessee last Saturday defeated Cen tral of Kentucky, some 67 to 0; lost to Sewanee, 33 to 6, the week before, and defeated Maryville, 39 to 0. Therefore, to defedt Tennessee, Mercer will have to show a lot of strength. GOVERNOR WILSON WILL WATCH FOOTBALL GAME PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 9.

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.

SPRINCFIEUD, MASS Atlanta Branch, 457 Peachtree Street South vs. North, East vs. West 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.
