WHAT COACHES AND CAPTAINS SAY ABOUT TODAY’S ROYAL BATTLE AT PONCEY
COACH HEISMAN, 01 TECH—The team Tech will put in the field today is one of the
lightest I have ever coached. The men are in superb physical condition, and will do their
best against the seemingly overwhelming odds. The team has learned a good deal of football
this year, and are wording well together. Georgia should win by at least two touchdowns,
and more than that if McWhorter gets loose too often.
( APT AIN LEUHRMANN, OF TECH—We are going into the game determined to win.
Every man on the Tech eleven will fight his hardest from start to finish, and I will have no
excuse if we are beaten. “Me'll give Georgia all that we’ve got,’’ is our slogan.

mentors have found a task of jam
ming ten days work into five. Upon
what they have accomplished since
last Saturday' depends Yale’s
chances to beat the Tigers.
The Yale team, in a summary
glance, can be classed as probably
the greatest collection of football
players among the big three. Yale
as a team is a different proposi
tion. Last Saturday it was not a
team that beat Brown. It was
merely a bunch of individual stars
with hardly any co-operation o»
uniform method. This, it seems to
us, is due almost entirely to a su
perfluity of coaches, the men be
coming confused by the conflict of
ideas jammed into their heads. A
poor grade of coaching, well
drummed into a team, is better in
our opinion than twenty different
styles of best grade coaching, con
fused and untaught to the men.
If Yale has become adjusted into
a team with team work, it looks
from here as if the Tigers are due
for their doom. If Yale has not pro
gressed in the last few days past
the individual stage, it is good-bye,
Eli?, and possibly a neat little to
tal run up by' the Orange and Black.
Yale teams ha\ e accomplished the
almost superhuman in single weeks
of past years, notably Daly’s team
of two years ago.
Have they repeated this year?
We doubt It. In other words, we
think Yale is in for a spanking.
Harvard has quite a bit more
than a sinecure on its hands in the
person of the Dartmouth eleven.
LOCAL SOCCERS PLAY

Lithonia was returned the victor in

THE- ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1912.
The Green team, when it lost to
Princeton, looked much like the
Yale outfit —a great array of mate
rial without polish. The over
whelming of Amherst and Cornell
since then would indicate that the
Hanoverians may have improved,
but It is almost too much to ex
pect them to beat the Crimson,
which has defeated their only con
querors. This game holds unusual
appeal because of the reappearance
of the great goal-kicking Charley
Briekley on the battlefield.
Indians Too Tough For Pennsy.
Those who watch the Carlisle In
dians attack the Penn in Quaker
town stand a good chance of wit
nessing the most spectacular game
of the day, the most picturesque.
The remarkable brace of the Penn
sylvanians in the Michigan game,
slashing to victory after being 21
points to the bad, lias brought
them back in our midst with glee
and gusto. Penn, always noted for
genuine gameness, seems this year
to be one of the grittiest teams ever
sent forth by tiie institution. They
probably will find the red men too
stiff opposition to overcome, but
they can be relied upon to tight
back with all the strength that is in
them and to dispute the braves’
claim to every inch of ground.
Penn is opposing a team that in
many ways appears the strongest
In the country. It is too bad that
the Indians do not meet Yale, Har
vard or Princeton. Without such a
game to play, they can not by any
means be rated the champions of
the country, no matter how badly
they may efface all other aggrega
tions. In our humble mind, Carlisle
is a touchdown better than any of
the big three, Harvard not except
ed. However, there is no way to
prove or disprove, that.
This year, as In other years of the
recent past, the football season is
concluding with a succession of
three games of forefront rank on
adjacent Saturdays. The Prlnceton-
Yale game today is the first, then
next Saturday the Yale-Harvard
game at New Haven and a week
later the so-called post-season tilt
of the Army and Navy. Not for
getting. of course, Penn and Cor
nell on Thanksgiving day, a game
which, while not of title importance,
always has proved a brilliant spec
tacle.
TECH Y. M. C. A. FIVE
BEATEN BY CENTRALS
The basketball fives of the Centra’
Young Men’s Christian association and
the Tech Y. M. C. A. met for the sec
ond time this season last night at the
Central association court, in which
game the Central five defeated the Tech
quintet tn a beautifully played game by
the very close score of 25 to 23. The
Tech team defeated the Central asso
ciation five a few weeks ago, and the
teams are now tied, each having won
one game.

COACH CUNNINGHAM, OF GEORGIA—My team is ready for the battle. We never an
ticipate defeat, but I do think tiie teams are evenly matched, everything considered. Every
man remaining on the squad is in good condition. I look for a good, clean game, for if we
win I want it to be known that the best team won. Tech has a great bunch of fighters, and
' I admire their spirit. May the best eleven be returned the winner.
CAPTAIN PEACOCK, OF GEORGIA—I hope and expect that Georgia will win, but look
for a very, very hard fight. If we win it will be by clean football, for we are going to play
i fairly no matter how hard we are pressed. One touchdown will probably decide the winner.
‘KING’ COLE NOW
MANAGER-OF 1
BARBER SHOP
By R. W. Lardner.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.—That
things can happen in the
Corn Exchang’e Bank build
ing, even when Charles W. Murphy
is out of town, is almost too much
to believe. Nevertheless’, with the
Cub owner in Milwaukee, a deal
was pulled off there—on the tenth
fluor, too—by which King Cole
climbed to a managerial position.
No, the King has not robbed
Johnny Evers of his job, nor is he
going to Cincinnati to succeed
Hank O’Day. He has been appoint
ed bench manager for John the
Barber, with a possibility that, in
a pinch, he will do some shaving
and haircutting himself.
Mr. Cole and Mr. John were
brought together in Mr. Murphy's
office by Diplomat Al Campion. Al
hates to have any one mad at his
boss, and King had not been feel
ing any too cordial toward Presi
dent Murf since the well known
Pittsburg trade. Al figured that if
he should prove instrumental in
finding a lucrative occupation for
King during the winter months,
much of Mr. Cole’s soreness would
wear off.
Conference Lasts Three Hours.
John and the King were closetea
for three hours. At the end of the
conference the former announced
that he had signed Leonard to
spend the off-season in his shop and
direct the work of the barbery.
It will be recalled that King took
a tonsorial degree in lowa before
he broke into league baseball. He
will have absolute authority over
tiie men in the shop, and the cus
tomers. too, telling them what
tonics to use, whether they shall be
combed wet or dry. shaved close or
far-away, attacked with shears or
clippers, singed or shampooed,
massaged by hand or machine, and
whether or not their shoes need
shining. He will also name the
amount of the tips and share in
them.
Asked for a statement regarding
his appointment. King replied:
"Why all this superfluous ton
sorial herpieide? The matter is
sine qua non. 1 have nothing else
to say."
Murphy Shaves in That Shop.
President Murphy has his fa
cial and hirsutlcal work done In
John's place. After this he will be
waited on during King’s lunch hour.
TONY ROSS HANDS

Ross made Palzer look like a novice
in several of the rounds. It was a six

and he landed only a few.
1912 Proves a Poor Year for Champion Fighters

Attell Loses Title; Wolgast and Conlon Lucky
By Left Hook.
rpHE year 1912 will go down in
£ the annals of boxing as a
most disastrous one to
champions and near-champions. In
the champion class Abe Attell.was
the first to get into trouble and he
lost his crown to Johnny Kilbane
after twenty rounds of milling, in
which time the Cleveland streak
always had a safe lead.
Attell has since proved by two or
three very Indifferent fights that he
has gone back past all hope of ever
figuring again in the championship
ranks. He was a wonderful pugil
ist in his day, and it will be years,
if ever, befo’re we see his equal in
his class again. In his prime, the
present crop of featherweights
would have been duck soup for him,
and he held his title longer than
any other world's championship

Ad Wolgast was tiie second title
holder to have a narrow escape.
This was his own fault, however,
as he agreed to tight one of the
hardest contenders in his division
six months after his operation. He
managed to retain his title through
an unprecedented mixup at the fin
ish, in which the referee declared
him the winner. Immediately after
he went to his corner and collapsed
and everybody who saw the fight
knows that if it hadn’t been for the
technicality that gave him the de
cision he would have been unable
to go on.
Coulon Risks His Title.
The third world's champion to
get into the danger zone was little
Johnny Coulon. who only saved his
crown the other night, owing to the
fact that ft was a no-decision con
test. This boy Williams, however,
gave him the scare of his fair
ypupg life, as the following account
from a New York paper will show:
“Ten thousand persons saw ‘Kid’
Williams, the lightning little ban
tam from Baltimore, gave Johnny
Coulon, the champion of ths class,
a decisive beating last night at
Madison Square Garden in ten
rounds. As it is against the law in
this state to give decisions, Coulon
still holds the title. Had the bout
been staged where the referee
might declare a winner, a tow
headed lad who was a newsboy a
short time ago might be the wearer
of the crown. Coulon weighed 112
pounds and Williams scaled three
pounds more stripped.
“Out of the ten rounds there was
only one in which the champion
had the better of the argument, the
second. The fourth and the sev
enth were close enough to be called
even. The rest of it was all in fa
vor of Williams.”
