Yellow Jackets’ Coach Sizes Up Tomorrow’s Gridiron Battles
HEISMAN PICKS GEORGIA BY TWO TOUCHDOWNS
By J. W. Heisman.
M)ST everybody has bad their
say about the Georgia-Tech
game long ere this, and
when I come to think it all over, I
find myself largely in accord with
the badly overworked "consensus
of public opinion." And that con
sensus is that Tech is in for the
•mall end of the horn
"Small end" comes in particularly
pat when speaking of relative
weights, but no less so when we
consider backfield speed, team ex
perience and star players. \\ hen it
comes to punting the difference is
in favor of Tech, and perhaps so in
forward passing. Which has the
better team play? I'd rather an
swer that after the game. So like
wis such, matters as interference,
tackling, getting down field under
punts and a f>-w other of the side
lights of the game.
Tlte general idea that weight in
football will crush speed Is correct.
In the main: and what speed Tech
has is overmatched by the speed of
the Georgia backs. With equal
fighting spirit the advantage must
•till lie with the heavy team, espe
cially ali'ii the preponderance of
weight is so very great.
When it comes to general knowl
edge of football —why. Tech has. it
s true, absorbed an amazing
mount of football knowledge for a
neon team, but Georgia s team of
veterans have show’n in the past
hat they know football (whether
they learned it this year or last
makes no difference!, and 1 doubt
tot they will show It.
So it's like a forecast of the
weather. The bureau says some
times it is going to rain because it
ought to rain, ami then It doesn't
sometimes. Georgia ought to win
by a touchdown or two —more still
if McWhorter gets cut loose too
many times.
Concerning this latter point, no
expert has the right to pose ns a
prophet. Al] I know is that, out
side of Vanderbilt, no Southern
team hgs yet stopped him from
getting loose one or more times in
a game, and if the others couldn’t,
how can the light, raw Tech team
be expected to stop him’' Sewanee
says it is a question of stop Mc-
Whorter: that If McWhorte' were
an ordinary, normal ('.’) halfback
Tech would be as good as Georgia,
but with McWhorter being, as he
is, McWhorter, well-Hurrah for

SEW.WEE VS ALABAMA.
q|X('E Alabama beat Mississippi,
sJ and also won from Tulane,
which latte team won from Mis
sissippi A. & M . and since the Tus
caloosans ran Georgia such a hard
race, we Hiv now in position to
Judge just what a good game Tech
played to beat the Alabamians so
badly. Some hate said it was be

too early. Have subsequent gam< s

gam*- with Sewanee the two teams
played 192 down-, which is about KO
more downs than I ver heard of
being played in any previous game
between any teams And yet Tech
stood the g.’iff and was crowding
Sewanee hinder than over at the
very finish of thi- interminable
gam.
It a:’ simply means that Tech
and Alabama both have :eal teams,
and if Alabama is in good fighting
trim she is going to m;ik, things a
degree or two warmer for Sewanee
than the thermometer would seem
to indicate.

If Mercer can play the game she

should say that the chances favor
Mercer.
But the Baptists are such in

knows what to expect of them in
any given match. And certainly
< 'lemson has put up several swell
games of football this fall and there
is no apparent reason why she
shouldn't do it again.

No-matter whether it is Stetion or

EUK'VARD AXI) BACKWARD
PASS.
EVIDENTLY Auburn, by taking
on a light game for the Satur
day preceding her Vanderbilt game,
plans to run no risks in the way of
possible injuries to her men. She
can put in what men she pleases
and for as long or short a time as
she lilies. Auburn is going to make
the effort of her life to down the
Commodores, who had best be oil
their guard. It will be the classiest
game of the season, if not the
closest.
Lust year Alabama had to lead a
dog's life glth her light team, try
ing to make a strong showing in
her <Tctober games, and then to
keep it up through all her Novem
ber games. This year a similar
task has fallen to Tech's lot. Ala
bama did remarkably’ well with het
job. and thus far Tech has done
even better this year. Tech has
been in superb condition for a
month, bu thow to keep the team
right there for another two weeks
is tiie big conundrum. It's like try
ing to keep a hair-edge on a razor
while using it daily to open cans of
corned beef.
The "dog-eat-dog" games that
rite .Mississippi colleges, Alabama.
I ulane and L. S. U. are putting up
against each other week after week
al) help to raise Tech's standing in
the final ranking. Let the good
work go on.
Michigan had scored three touch
downs on Penn, before the latter
had secured a point. Then the
Wolverines decided they had gar
nered enough for cme day, and
Penn started in. Before she
stopped she had piled tyv 27 and
won the game. Has the reader any
just conception of what "sand" it
takes for a team to do that? The
siime day Mississippi A. * M. col
lected 24 points before Tulane real
ized she was supposed to be play
ing a game of football, not check
ers. And then the game wound up
27 to 24 in favor of Tulane. These
two games furnish, in the scores,
about the stiongest examples of
up-hill fighting that my memoyr
recalls in the history of the game.

HARO LUCK HAS
HANDED ■¥
HOT TIME
Nashville, tenn., Nov. is.
That Vanderbilt lost two of
the greatest battles of its ca
reer by sheer hard luck is admitted
by followers of the victorious teams
on these occasions. In 1906, the
< ’ogimodores fairly walloped the
life out of Fielding Yost’s Michi
ganders, yet tiie score went 10 to 4
against them. Then at Cambridge
last Saturday there was a fierce
combination of the fates trumped
up against the Southerners who
had traveled 1,200 miles to battle
with the Crimson clan.
In the gymnasium at Michigan in
1906, Just after tire game, Yost
said: "Well, you fellows did have a
hard break of the luck and we
were fortunate in getting away
with the game."
Harvard’s graduate manager to
ward the close of the fourth pe
riod of last Saturday's game said to
Dr. Owsley Mauler: “If your man
Hardage hadn't been hurt, I think
the score would have been a tie.
You had hard luck, sure."
<>f course, hard luck counts, and
there Isn't any use trying to turn
loose a lot of sob stuff, yet it is
certainly interesting to note the
specific instances of tough fortune
which lost the Southern champions
two big contests.
Hard Luck in Big 1906 Game.
All through the 1906 Michigan
game Vanderbilt got a bad break
of the luck, but here is what killed
them dead. Up to tile time of that
game Bob Blake had kicked three
fourths of the field goals attempted,
yet against the Wolverines he
missed five and kicked one, and
all of them were short and not
from difficult angles. The reason
of his failure was that he had to
kick from turf instead of ground
dirt heaps as he did on his own
field.
Another play in this game which
may never be repeated came about
this way: It was Vanderbilt’s ball
on her own 45-yard line. John
Craig was called and. aided by
beautiful interference, passed every
man but the quarterback. Just be
fore the quarter, Uhorn, got to him
Craig’s own guard came down the
field at top speed to hit the Mich
igan tackler. Craig dodged the
.Michigan man, but in the mean
time Chorn had passed on and at
just the wrong niomen Craig
whirled into Chorn and fell. Be
fore he could get up a Michigan
man was on him ami a sure chance
for a touchdown was lost.
Later in that same game Van
derbilt received a punt otj her own
fifteen-yard line, from which Cos
ten ran it back ten yards. Then
the Commodores made a forced
march which landed the ball one
foot from the .Michigan goal line
and first down. In his eagerness
to open up the hole and sew up the
game, Stein Stone made a bad pass
to Costen. The ball rolled over the.
goal line and a Michigan man fell
on it, just as Manier came romping
through the hole which Stone had
made.
Same Hoodoo at Harvard.
Now. take the Vanderbilt-Har
vard game as an example of
wretched luck. Just at the time
his physical efforts and his moral
support were most needed Captain
Lewie Hardage received an injury
to his ankle which put him out for
keeps. Shortly after that Harvard
made her only touchdown, which
was made possible by an adverse
decision of the referee, giving Har
vard fifteen yards, when no penalty
should have been assessed. The
penalty was given for alleged in
terference with a fair catch. Yet
Graustein, the man who caught the
punt, actually ran seven yards be
fore Tom Brown got him, and the
rule < say two -iLp’ is enough after
Princeton Eleven Will Match Speed Against Bulldog’s Brawn
TIGERS CONFIDENT OF BEATING YALE TOMORROW
By W. J. Mcßeth.
PRINCETON. Nov. 15.—The
annual battle of the Prince
ton and Yale gridiron giants,
scheduled to take place tomorrow,
has filled the town with visitors and
has given rise to the flood of con
jecture and prognostication that al
ways precedes this contest.
Tiger dopesters were confident
today that their eleven would
prove victorious. The defeat
at the hands of Harvard two weeks
ago has had little effect upon their
figures, for the loss of this game
was taken to be more in the nature
of an instructive setback than an
event that can affect the intrinsic
merit of the Princeton team.
Old grads and the under-collegi
ate body’ were alike strong in their
conviction that the two weeks of
strenuous practice which was the
direct result of their team's defeat
before the Crimson line, has more
than made up for the raggedness
of the Princeton play. And these
same old and young football enthu
siasts were more than willing to
back their opinion.
Tigers Average Weight 172.
Princeton will again match speed
against brawn. In constructing
their system of play this year, the
Jerseymen made speed an all-im
portant qualification. Old Nassau’s
eleven is unusually light—the aver
age weight is but 172 pounds—but
the team has revealed a versatile
attack. It has found comparative
ease in scoring, whether by’ line
plunging, runs around end, for
ward passes or goals from the field.
Yale stands undefeated, while
Princeton has been beaten by Har
vard, but Y'ale has no such victory
to her credit as Princeton’s 22 to 7
defeat of Dartmouth. The week
after Yale beat Syracuse 21 to 0.
Princeton overwhelmed the same
team by 62 to 0. This would make
it appear that those who call Yale
the favorite in tomorrow's en
counter have not as good’an argu
ment as those who call the proposi
tion a tossup.
The punting and line-plunging
competition between "Lefty" Flynn
and Fullback Dewitt holds forth no
greater promise of excitement than
the duel at center. Ketcham, the
Blue center rush, will be assured of
a diverting afternoon's assignment
when he faces Bluethenthal. With
out “Blttey” the Tiger line would
feel lost. The Princeton center is
out to steal Ketcham’s all-Ameri
can job.
Shenc.k and Logan, the Princeton
guards, are new’ players, like Pen
dleton. the Yale guard. All three of
these have displayed a great deal
of fire on the offense, but could
stand a deal of improvement on the
defense. Veteran Cooney, of Yale,
while never brilliant, shows a lot
of action for such a heavy man.
Yale Tackles Are Strong.
The Yale tackles. Talbott and
Warren, are particularly strong on
the defensive. Talbott, being espe
cially eager ■ and quick in action.
They play high, but do much of the
work of the end while on the of
fensive. Trenkman’s ability is still
somewhat uncertain, owing to the
number of games he has missed
through injuries, but he seems to
be a reliable man of fair speed. Vet
eran Phillips makes up in aggres
siveness what he lacks in heft and
should make things very interest
ing for Cooney.
As for the ends, they are not the
strongest part of either line. On
the defensive they do well enough,
but on the attack Yale's ends have
shown themselves particularly
weak.. Unless there is a marked
improvement in the work of Gil
lauer and Avery’ tomorrow, assum
ing that they will be chosen, the
Tigers will have little to fear from
the territory outside the tackles.
Yale's ends have had a religiously
devoted crew of coaches working
on them daily since the Brown
game.
Yale is heavily handicapped at

Princeton ends. They look a bit
stronger than Yale's pair.
Flynn, Captain Spalding and
Philbin of Yale, form an imposing
backfield combination, but there is
nothing there that does not appear
also among Dewitt, Captain Pen
dleton and “Tubby” Waller, or
"Hobey" Baker, of Princeton. Each
of the last two named has figured
in an 80-yard run of the Sam White
order this season. Pendleton is :
ten-second sprinter, but is gener
ally unlucky, in the big games, be
cause the opposition makes it its
business to “bottle” him. His spe
cialty is long end runs, although
tins year he lias also shown hint
self able to pierce the tackles.
Waller is a strong- line ruslte
and a bulwark of strength in stop
ping the other team’s plays. “Ho
bey'’ Baker is a splendid back,
quidk to pick holes in the line and
handy’ at grabbing the loose ball.
He is also a clever place kicker.
“Stew" Baker's generalship at
quartet back is acknowledged to be
excellent. He is sure on catching
punts, and is quick in getting up
speed in running back punts
Wheeler, the Yale general, is not
expected to prove quite as strong
as Stewart.
Earle Dewitt, at fullback, is a fin
ished punter. Last year it was
largely- his booting that won the
championship for Princeton, lie
hits the line like a human pile
driver, and statistics show- him to
be the Jungaleers’ most consistent
ground gainer.
