THERE Is one BIG game, one good game and a couple of fair games left 1n the South. The BIG one is rhe Vanderbilt-Au burn encounter slated for Birming ham next Saturday. Too bad it isn’t to he played in Atlanta. It’s so far over to Bir mingham. it's an off day here— and there’s an educated football patronage. More people would come to Ponce DeLeon in automobiles to see it than will get inside the Bir mingham park. The game Saturday between Au burn and Vanderbilt is for the championship. Os course, there are few who believe ’hat Auburn has a chance. But, then, you can't tell. Auburn has made the whole season for this one game. It has devel oped slowly but very surely. Phys ically, its men are as good as Van derbilt’s. They hav< been trained this year as perhaps never befon For Vanderbilt the game Isn’t of particular interest. The Commo dores reached the height of theii season at Harvard -or tried to. The rest of the games this season are just pure anti-climax The men aren’t in condition. MeGugin is trying to get them light, only a few regulars played against Cen tral, But the Commodor, s will not be right; they will be overconfi dent, and there will be that psycho logical handicap of don’t-git e-a hangn. ss.

It turned out pretty much accord ’ng to th< dope. w. said iwo touchdowns, and with an even break in luck that would have been the answer. Once Teen had ~ touchdown and a fumble cost it. Once when Georgia had lost the ball on downs to Tech almost on the Jackets' own goal line, the Ath enians were able to retain posses sion ot the ball, get first down and shortly afterward make a touch down by a Tech off-side play. Os course, it was all in the game but with an * ven break of luck Tech would have made a touchdown or Georgia would have made one less-. It was really a game. There wasn’t a doubt about it. And |he Very best part about it was the .lean way it was played. It was vicious to a degree, but there was only an occasional bit of unneces sary roughness and the officials made short Work of it. Also th.-i. >. emed to b< the most sportsman like spirit prevailing among the students and the supporters of the two colleges. This is emin. ntly as it should be There isn’t th. slightest reason for any enmity between Tech ami Georgia. They are both tine, high grade volliges. They .Iran their students from the best families of the state. Thejr teams ought al ways t.. meet on a basis of high grade. sportsmanlike rivalry. Andi on such a basis they did meet on*' Saturday.

VANDY AND SEWANEE ENTITLEDTO HONORS Vanderbilt continues to lead the Southern teams in scoring. The Com modores now have 370 points to their credit and only 12 against them, 9 of which were scored by Harvard. Ten nessee Is next to Vanderbilt in number of points scored, but the Knoxville elev en has met such triple-plated cinches as Kings college, Maryville. Memphis Medicos, Central, Mercer and Kentucky State. Next to Vanderbilt, the best defensive work has been done by Sewanee. The Tigers have had but 25 points scored on them, and they have met some tar tars. including Tennessee, Georgia. Tech and Alabama. BRESNAHAN WON’T SIGN UNTIL HE GETS HIS PRICE TOLEDO. OHIO, Nov. 18.

Bill believes thst there is only one real city in the world, and that’s Atlan ta.

He will secure rooms at some hotel, as usual, and trill make his hangout at baseball headquarters. Brickley, Thorpe and Flynn Marvels of Season •i-e-h Great Race Between Trio For Gridiron Honors By Lombard Law. BRICKLEY. Thorpe and Flynn. If you are selecting the most brilliant performer on the gridiron today, pause here and pick. And if you can satisfactorily sin gle out one ot' this sterling trio and disea. d the other two, then you're some picker. Judges of the all- American team this year will be fortunate in not having to break up the trio. They can perform their office satisfactorily by placing all three in the backfield. Most seasons have an individual star of the Ted Coy type who stands out from the rest like a green vest at a wedding. In 1911 picking the winner from the pack was a pipe, for there was Sam White. But look who there is in 19121 Cast, your eye again upon that line: Brkklty, Thorpe and Flynn. They certainly look good to the lovers of football. Os any one of them it can he said that he is one of the greatest playetw that ever donned the moleskins for his col lege—yes, that he is one of the grandest performers in all gridiron history. Players that in some seasons would be called sensations, who were, in fact, called sensations last year and the year before, have failed to draw anything more than passing notice this fall, interest be ing centered on Brickley, Thorpe and Flynn. These three have mo nopolized the spotlight, to the utter exclusion of many really great players. The pre-season dope was principally devoted to a string of all-American veterans —Wendell, Harvard halfback; Bomeister, Yale end; Devore. Army tackle; Mercer, . Pennsylvania fullback; Morey, Dartmouth halfback, and Pendle ton. Princeton halfback. Every one of these men is now playing as grand a game as that which won hint his all-American honors, but they have done little basking In the limelight since Brickley. Thorpe and Flynn began indulging their wild scoring p; ocllvitties. Thorpe Greatest Athlete. Jim Thorpe, of the ('arlisle In dian school, is the world's greatest living athlete. He won his title Billy has not decided yet when he will have his recruits report. “It looks.” he said today, “as though there would be no big league team training in Atlanta. If there isn’t our club will have all the time it wants, and we shall not have to get them to Atlanta quite as early as In some past years. On the other hand, we shall have a lot of mate rial to work through and shall need a reasonable amount of time.” Bill expects to go to the South ern league meeting at Birmingham and will stand as usual for a high salary limit. MINOR LEAGUE MAGNATES HAVE LEFT “‘BREW BURG” CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—The exodus of minor league mganates, who tarried in ° \ with ease at the Olympic games. And it looked as if it was going to be easier still* for him to gain the title of world’s greatest football player, after he began kicking goals and striding over tacklers eprly last month. He showed at the start that • he had lost none of those almost uncanny qualities of speed, courage and strength which have made him a veritable world-beater in every line of sport which he has taken up It took “Lefty” Flynn to divert attention from Thorpe. This hap pened when Yale played the Army, Carlisle having an unimportant game that day. In the Army game Flynn made It clear that the big Indian was going to be up against competition for the season’s indi vidual laurels, world-beater or no world-beater. There were now tw.o sensational gridiron luminaries, each with that terrific lunge that pierces any line, that shiftiness of foot that bewild ers all tacklers, that powerful drive that lasts till the last possible inch of ground is gathered in—and each having, above all, a phenomenal ability' to boot the ball. Brickley Leaped to Front. Football fame, alas! Is a thing of evanescence. No sooner did Thorpe and Flynn lay off one Saturday than Charley Brickley, another Olympic performer, one of the greatest of the American hop-step jumpers, suddenly burst over the football horizon—and he has never been out of sight since. It was against Williams that Brickley really found himself. He drop kicked over the standards as easily from one side of the 30-yard line as from the other. Two touch downs and two field goals he reg istered* in this game, increasing to four touchdowns and two field goals against Amherst the following Sat urday. Three field goals was his contribution in the Brown game, and when he got three more against Princeton it simply piled on the agony tor the worried bugs who have to tell who is the football her * of 1912. Brickley kicks equally well mi the drop or from placement. Most of his goals this season have been on drop kicks, but some of tile most difficult chances—that drive from the 47-yard line in the Princeton game, so: instance—have been Chicago to change ears and a few bank notes on their return from the national meeting in Milwaukee, was complete t<7 day. \A ith the exception of President Baum, of the Pacific Coast league and President Ewing, of the San Francisco club, there were no visiting arngnates’ left within the gates. ‘ Ewing and Baum remained over to see President Comlskey, of the White Sox who. with President Johnson, of the American league, is expected to return today from a week’s outing in Excelsior Springs. The coast leaguers want to tali' over with Comiskey the few remaining details to be arranged for the south side team's spring training trip to California in February. FLYNN MAY BE UNABLE TO GET IN PRACTICE TODAY NEW HAVEN, CONN., Nov. 18.—The Yale regulars, owing to bruises and bumps from which some are suffering as a result of Saturday’s battle with Princeton, were scheduled for only light practice today. Lefty Flynn was said to be so badly used up that it was impossible for him to get into practice today. Changes may be made in the regular line-up before Saturday. It is possible that Pumpelly, the sub who made the phenomenal drop-kick that saved the blue from defeat, may start the game at guard and a sub quarterback may be used in his place. booted from placement. Flynn drives the ball an unearth ly distance when he’s' booting up to top form, and running with the ball he is one of the hardest men in the world to down. Both are stone walls df defensive strength. Thorpe Is one of the most dan gerous men to opponents that eve: played in a backfield. Fast and ppwerful on all kinds of attack and defense, he can be classed with the most illustrious of this Immortals who live in history as gods of the gridiron.
