Yellow Jackets’ Coach Sizes Up Tomorrow’s Gridiron Baffles
HEISMAN PICKS GEORGIA BY TWO TOUCHDOWNS
By J. W. Heisman.
MOST everybody has had their
say about the Georgia-Tech
game long ere this, and
when 1 come to think it al) 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
.email end of the horn.
"Small end” comes in particular!)
pat when speaking of relative t
weights, but no less so when we |
consider backfield speed, team ex
perience and star players. When it
comes to punting the diffe once Is
in favor of Tech, and perhaps so in
forward passing. Which has tin
better team play? I’d rather an
swer that after the game. So like
wise such matters as interference,
tackling, getting down livid‘under
punts and a few other of the side
lights of the game.
The general idea that weight in
football will crush speed is correct,
in the main: and what sneed Tech
has is overmatched by the speed of
the Georgia hacks. With equal
fighting spirit the advantage must
still lie with the heavj team, espe
ciallj when the preponderance of
weight is so very’ great.
When It comes to general know -
edge of football—why. Tech has. It
is true, absorbed an amazing
amount of football know' Igo for i>

that they know football (whether
they learned it this year or last

FORWARD AXD BACKWARD
P\ss.
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 loijg or short a time as
she likes. Auburn is going to make
the effort of her life to down the
Commodores, who had br st be on
their guard. It will be the classiest
game of the season, if not the
closest.
Last year Alabama had to lead a
dog's life with her light team, try
ing to make a strong showing in
lier October games, and then to
keep i; up through all her Novem
ber games. This year a similar
task has fallen to Tech’s lot. Ala
bama did remarkably well with her
job, and thus far Tech has done
even better this year. Tech has
been in superb condition for a
month, but how to keep the team
right there for another two weeks
is the 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
the Mississippi colleges, Alabama.
Tulane and L. S. C. are putting up
against each other week after week
all help to raise Tech’s standing in
the tinal 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 one day, and
Penn started in. Before the
stopped she had piled up 27 and
won tlie game. Has the reader any
Just conception of what “sand” it
takes for a team to do that? The
same day Mississippi A. & M. col
lected 24 points before Tulane real
ized she was supposed to be play
ing a game of football, not cheek
ms. And then the game wound up
27 to 24 in favor of Tulane. These
two games furnish, in the scores,
about the strongest examples of
up-hill fighting tnat my memory
recalls in the history of the game.

HANDED HANDY
HDTTINIE
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
Commodores fairly walloped the
life out of Fielding Yost’s Michi
ganders, yet the 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 the 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 Manier: “If your man
Hardage hadn’t been hurt, I think
the score would have been a tie.
You had hard luck, sure.”
Os 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 the 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 ami 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, Chorn, 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 momen Craig
whirled into Chorn and fell. Be
fore he could get up a Michigan
man was on him ami :i sure chance
for a touchdown was lost.
Later in that game Van
derbilt received a punt on her own
fifteen-yard line, from which Cos
ten ran it back ten yards. Then
tile 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 givdn for alleged in
terference with a fair catch. Yet
Gmustein, the man who caught the
punt, actually run seven yards be
fort Tom Blown got him, . nd the

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 dopoaters were confident
today that tlieir 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 gantb
was taken io be more in the nature
of an instructive setback than an
event tliat 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 tlieir 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
tlieir system of play tins 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
tiie team has revealed a versatile
attack. It has found comparative
ease in scoring, whether by line
plunging, runs around end, for- 1
ward 'passes or goals from the field.
Yale stands undefeated, while
Princeton has been beaten by Har
vard, but Yale has no such victory
to her credit as Princeton’s 22 to 7 I
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 “Bluey" the Tiger line would
feel lost. The Princeton center is
out to steal Ketcham’s all-Ameri
can job.
Slienck 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- I
cially eager ami quick in action, j
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 lie seems to
be a reliable man of fair speed. Vet
eran Phillips makes up in aggres
siveness w hat 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 tiiat they will be chosen, the
Tigers will have little to fear from I
the territory outside the tackles. 1
Yale’s ends hav* had a religiously |

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 f
in an 80-yard run of the Sam White '
order this season. Pendleton is a
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
this year he has also shown him
self able to pierce the tackles.
W aller is a strong line ruslie.
and a bulwark of strength in stop
ping the other team’s plays. “Ho
bey” Baker is a splendid back,
quick to pick holes in the line anti
handy at grabbing the loose ball.
He is also’a clever place kicker.
“Stew” Baker’s generalship at
quarterback is acknowledged to.b<
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 Hr
hits the line like a human pile
driver, and statistics show him to
be the Jungaleers’ most consistent
ground gainer.
