LOVE OF iZM CAUSED GIANTS’ DOWNFALL By Sam Crane. N-rGW " YORK, Nov. 15. —Was there a “yellow streak." or sev eral of them, developed among . Giants in the last world’s se- ri<-> •’ riiat is a question that was ar „Ued pro and con in a recent san s. -t between several baseball fans ( nd players at an uptown resort week where lovers of base . re wont to congregate to win vinter championships, dilate on strength of various teams, com j.-ire different managers, clubs and i 'vers try to transform the great national game and “chew the rag" in general. Strange to say, the players of the party, two of whom partici pated in last season's pennant race* were the ones who were the m , lst 'insistent that the yellow .peak materialized and lost the tbants the gonfalon, emblematic of the championship of the universe. Snodgrass Not Blamed. Snodgrass was not accused of showing the tainted strain, be ,-ause. as one player said, “any body is liable to muff a ball, even on the easiest kind of a fly.” Fletcher and Merkle, however, did not escape so easily, for their mistakes in the last inning—the , nth, of the eighth and deciding game—were claimed to be due to their failures to try for fly balls that they could easily have reach ,l had they not deliberately quit. Fletcher's fault of omission was in starting for a fly hit over his head into short left center, and then when by an extra effort lie could have reached the ball, he stopped, thereby losing all chance to catch it and also mixed up both Snodgrass and Murray, either of whom might have got to the ball, thereby causing them to cease try ing for the catch. Merkle, it was claimed by the fanfesters, made no attempt at all to get a foul fly by Speaker and on a ball that he usually “eats up,” on high was the fly, too. that Meyers, who ran all the way from behind •he plate, missed reaching the ball by inches only, and the chief is no (printer. Merkle and Fletcher Guilty. It was decided that faults of • ission, in not "sticking to the ball." showed the yellow streak cost decisively, and that Fletcher mo .Merkle were the guilty ones. Both Fletcher and Merkle were n-rvous; there is not the least loubt of that; but nervousness does tot necessarily brand any player as ‘yellow." What I think was the chief au.se of those players failing in the pinch was that the money differ ence between the winners’ and losers' end was so big that when the plays came to Merkle and Fletcher to < inch the big end the responsibil ity put up to them was too much, and they weakened under the strain. I can remember that some of the "tightest wads" among them talk ed between themselves as to what players ought to be entitled to a full shate of the world’s series receipts • and those who should get smaller divvys." Arfd. mind you, this was going on when the season was. not naif over They were money mad, nothing else. Slump Broke Their Nerve. rhen when their slump came, and they dropped from their big lead to a paltry' one of four games and a half, those were surely the troublous times. The non-spenders tightened up closer than ever: took to trolley cars or shanks’ mate; wouldn’t even buy newspa pers: lost pounds in weight and went around with pinched, drawn faces, woebegone and sick at heart. They saw a j| th a t money they a i counted over so often gradually drifting away from them. They weii shattered mentally and phys ically. They had lost their nerve, and wondered why they couldn’t "in their games. They were play ing their money Instead of base ball. ci 'w, is it any wonder, thinking as much of money as they did — dreaming about it, in sact —that vhen the time came that they saw 51.5P0 ebbing away from each into pockets of the Red Sox, they ' nine nervous during the world’s series ? I' as nervous streaks, not “yel ones, that cost them the ""il.j s championship. But where does the difference in?” may be asked. ' s beyond me.

IN considering the big game to morrow between Georgia and Tech, there are several phases which are for Tech and several which are against Tech, and it is up to the reader to pick the winner from the dope, thus known. There # are five phases to be considered in the present, as well as the histori cal part of the affair. There is the head work or gener alship to be considered; the weights and charging ability of each team; how the weight is dis tributed; the speed, of the teams as a whole and, as individuals; expe rience of men who will be used to carry the ball and thus do the prime part of the work; the defen sive abilities and lasting qualities, and finally, the mental attitudes of the teams before and, during the game. For the past two years Bob Mc- Whorter has been the Jonah for Tech, and he is still with Georgia, but it will also be remembered that last season there was another man on the team who, by his inspiration alone, did as much, if not more, than any man on the Georgia team toward defeating Tech, and that was “Kid” Woodruff, the gamest and best quarterback the univer sity has ever had. He just natural ly knew how to get work out of that bunch of men and could handle “Bob” McWhorter in a manner that made a gain every time he was run. “Kid” knew the team, their weak nesses, their strength and he had their confidence. He is gone this year and there has been a pulling apart instead of a pulling together of the Georgia bunch. Now, the question is. Can Coach Cunningham get a man ca pable of diagnosing the situation and holding his heaf and the heads of the entire team during the whole game? So far he has not been able to do so. No less than four quarterbacks have been used this season and a new one will run the team tomorrow. Hard Job For Paddock. Paddock, an unknown quantity and a young player, will take the job. He has a man’s job on his shoulders. Can he inspire confi dence into an old team in a week? Can he meet the tiicks of Heisman for the first time and size up the defense and meet it accordingly? So much for Georgia’s generalship. Tech will have Cook calling sig nals and running the team. He has been at this job for two years, has played with this team at the same place all this season, and has the Sooner or later you sure will smoke a it?

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1912. confidence of the entire team. He has played against Georgia for two years and understands to a degree Cunningham’s style of play. It stands to reason that he can run the team in the way that it should go. So much for Tech’s general ship. Score one for Tech. Now a glance at the lino and their respective charging ability. Start with Capt-iin .Leuhrmann, who plays left tackle and weighs 170. He is an old man and an extra good charger. Against him we have Henderson, a 200-pound first year man, but an athlete from the word go. At left guard Montagu? will play for Tech, Weighing 155, this being his first year at college football. He will play against Har rell, a 190-pound man, and consid ered a peer among linemen of the South. Loeb will play center, weighing 155, and will be opposed by Covington, who has played at the gamp for years, and weighs 161. At right tackle, for Tech, Colley, a flrst-year man weighing 168, will be used. He is a good player, but extra light compared to Malone, the 190-pound man whom he plays against. Malone has played for two years and is a very good man. Right guard is occupied by Means, weighing 172, and about the best lineman Tech possesses. His man is Captain Peacock, weigh 190, who has three years of experience along with it. Moore Is Light, but Good. At right end. Moore, a 140-pound boy just out of high school, will oppose Parrish, an 180-pound man. who is considered one of Georgia’s best men. Moore is light, but will be there with bells on. At the other end, Hutton, weigh ing 148, and a first year man. will have his hands full in taking care of Conklin. 155 pounds, the light est man in the Georgia fine. This is the summary of the men on tv horn will depend the opening up of the holes for the backs to go through. In the back field, Georgia will de pend on McWhorter and Bowden, weighing 185 and 170. respective ly, while Tech will rely principally on McDonald and Cook, with Thom asson as the tine bucket-, Cook tips the .scale at 159, while McDonald goes to 150. Georgia's backs will buck, while Tech will rely on end runs and trick plays. Thus Geor gia, aided by her heavy line and the individual stars in the back field, has the advantage here. Now as to the defensive abili ties of the teams. Tech has a light bunch, but they tackle like fiends. 0. DESHLER WAS NEAR-CHAMPION FEMS AGO r ) 'HE Dixie Athletic club has | staged what should prove a very classy lightweight bout for next Tuesday night. Dave Deshler, of I’ostc::, will swap punches with Clarence English, who has given satisfaction here several times. Deshler about five years ago looked to have a fine chance of be ing champion of the 133-pounders. He was the man who stopped the wonderful career of Kid Goodman, and he earned a draw with Packey McFarland. But poor management caused Deshler to be lost in the shuffle. He is now trying to “come back,” and if he is half as good as he was five years ago he will give English one of the merriest times the Oma ha gent has enjoyed in many a day. English recently was beaten by Ray Bronson after a hard fight. Deshler has twice held Bronson to a draw. COLUMBIA ENTERS TEAM. NEW YORK. Nov. 15. —For the first time in its history Columbia university has entered a team in the national cross-country race for juniors, which will be run Saturday. and are quick to line up on every play, as many as three men tack ling one player. Georgia may have improved many ways, but in the Vanderbilt game and also in the Alabama contest, they'were way be low in this feature, while Tqeh has been slowly but surely strengthen ing their defensive play. Tech - , therefore, scores one here. Now, Tech and Georgia both have their weight pretty well dis tributed. and stand about equal here. Tech Team a Big Family. Now as to the big deal. Has Georgia, with all her weight, in dividual stars and experience, got the team work of the Yellow Jack ets? Positively not! There are absolutely no factions on the Tech team. Ev rybody. even to the wa ter boy, is working for the same cause, and here again Tech scores. Tech has lost for the past two j ears, and their attitude is one of "now is the time.*' and with this detei niinati'.n they will go against the Red and Black. It can readily be seen that Tech and Georgia are apparently evenly matched, and if the weather is hot and dry Tech’s fight men will not feel it, while Georgia’s weight will call for rest.
