THERE Is one BIG game, one good game and a couple of fair games left In the South. Th* BIG one is the Vanderbilt - Au burn encounter slated for Birming ham next Saturday. Too bad It Isn’t to be 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 that 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 have been trained this year as perhaps never before. For Vanderbilt the game isn’t of particular interest. The Commo dores reached the height of their season at Harvard -or tried 10. The rest of the games this season are just pure anti-climax. Tin men aren't in condition. McGugin is trying to get them right. Only a few regulars played against Cen tral. But the Commodores w ill not be right; they will be overconfi dent, and there will be that psycho logical handicap of don't-give ,- hangness. Os course, Vanderbilt ought to win. Hut outside of the Harvard game it will probably be the toughest Vanderbilt gets this year. • € • epHE only other P,JG game of the * S. 1 A, A. -enson will i« the contest between Georgia mid \u burn at Athens Thanksgiving day. That game ought to settle Mi-nnd place in the S. I. A. A. ranking. This will b< one corking eon test, by the way. It ought to be mighty even, too. Auburn hasn’t any such brilliant offensive per formers as McWhorter and Pad dock. But it has a grand machine --a team of big, strong performers. It will be handicapped by th, fact that its season is made fo> 'the . \ andeiblit gam< and that Thanks- giving afternoon ma? find them a bit crippled. • • • •"p HAX'KSGIYING day's game here 1 in Atlanta will be no slouch performance and ranks as one of the few fair games left. The Clem son team has been erratic this year —as erratic as a doped horse. Hut it will he especially pointed for the Thanksgiving day contest. It ought to be a battle. • * • A GOOD many days will elapse be- ' fore the fans of the Empire State of the South will stop talk ing about that Tech-Georgia game. It turned out pretty much accord ing to the dope. We said two touchdowns, and with an even break in luck that would have been the answer. Once Tech had a touchdown and a fumble cost it. <>nce 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 of 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 even 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. Ami the very best part about It was the clean 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 there seemed to be the most sportsman like spirit prevailing among the students and the supporters of the two colleges. This is eminently as it.should be There isn't the slightest reason for any enmity between Tech and Georgia. They an both tine, high grade colleges. They draw their students I'rmn tin hist families of the state. Their teams ought al ways to meet on a basis of high grade. sportsmanlike rivalry. And on such a basis they did meet on Saturday. THE game was big vindication for Coach Alex Cunningham. His coaching methods have been um ■ r fire off am! on all the st ason. But he showed them Saturday. His team played tine football. The men TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. NOVEM BER 18. 1912. were In good condition; they showed real knowledge of the game and excellent head work. His coaching methods proved them selves in that game. His men beat Tech worse than Auburn or Se- Wjtnee did. That was all that he could expect. It was more than •* many expected. And it proved that Cunningham methods are winning methods. • * • \ FEW individual stars displayed z 1 such brilliancy- Saturday that it is hard to pass over their work without some mention. Os course. McWhorter was the big constella tion. He "played the truck horse part as usual, and while he got away for no brilliant runs,-he did most of the ground gaining for Georgia. Sometimes lie had inter ference. The one time when he got it consistently he marched down the field to a touchdown with no break or let-up at all. When he didn’t have any help he made his gains any way. Next on the Geor gia honor roll comes Paddock. This lad made the most brilliant run of the game and one that put Georgia in position to make a touchdown. He got away on a trick play, but he iiad to slide through most of the Tech team to 'get his distance. To one lad on the Tech team fell the honor of being both the hero and the villain of the piece. This nan was McDonald. It was bis luckless fate to be the man who stumbled right to Georgia's goal line. Within a few inches was almost deathless gridiron fame — fame that would outlast his life, at least. He was on the verge of scor ing <>n Georgia in a game Tech was losing by a big score. And then he fumbled. He made up for this play as well as he could by’ doing almost all th< classy offensive work for Tech. He charged through the line and around th** end, he ran hack punts like a demon and he tackled well. The other men on the Tech team played wtII. But the man • whose work stands out particularly tin man who played the greatest game of all, for his ounces was this .McDonald. Are you in need of anvthing today?

SMITH WILL BE HERE THIS WEEK TO BUILD CRACKERS; PLANS TO START TRAINING SEASON LATER THAN USUAL SPRINGFIELD. OHIO, Nov. 18. Billy Smith, manager of the Atlanta l.»all club, reached here this morning from the minor league meeting and will be hero to day and possibly part of tomorrow. He will leave then for Atlanta, Smith seemed delighted with the I meeting of the moguls and with the I trades he pulled off. ■'Everything was fine at the meet ing,” said Smith, “and I enjoyed It. There was certainly a large | time. “I pulled a few trades that ought to be to the advantage of the team. !

Manager Norton has vailed off the program of bouts that had been arranged. The matchmaker originally had scheduled Dave Deshler and Clar ence English for the main bout. Deshler hurt his hand in a bout with Young McCartney, of Phila delphia, a few nights ago and was forced to cancel his match. The matchmaker then secured Young Otto, a hard-hitting New Yorker, to fight English. But otto claims he is sick and can not fight. Last night he wired that he had just sent some un known boy, name Young Motto, to take his place. Motto will arrive here some time today, but it won't do him any good, as the club re fuses to stand for him. Being unable to secure a good bout at such short notice, the club promoter has decided ' that there will be "nothing- doing" tomorrow night. VANDY AND SEWANEE ENTITLED TO HONORS Vanderbilt continues to lead the Southern teams in scoring. The Com modores now have 37(t points to their credit and only 12 against them. 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, Mary ville. 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 IS.—Roger Bres nahan. deposed manager of the Si. Louis X'atloal league team, said today that he was not going with Pittsburg.

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 tin gle out one of this sterling trio and discard 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 ths TedlCoy type who stands out from Hie rest like a green vest at a wedding, in 1911 picking the winner from the pack was a pipe, tor there was Sam White; But look who there is in 1912! Cast your eye again upon that line: Brickley. Thorpe and Flynn. They certainly look good to the lovers of football. Os any one of them It can be said that he is one of the greatest players that eve" 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; Bomeisler, 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 him all-American honors, but they have done little basking in the limelight since Brickley, Thorpe and Flynn began indulging their wild scoring proclivilties. Thorpe Greatest Athlete. Jim Thorpe, of the Carlisle In dian school, is the world's greatest living athlete He won his title material left over from last year, we picked up stme good men by purchase at the end of the season and we have an arrangement with Washington that will give us some grand men. “Our alliance with Washington should be all of helpful. When that team was down at the bot tom its’surplus material was a joke. But now that it is up in the world the situation is changed. Griffith has promised to look out for us, and I know that his promise is good. Atlanta fans will recall the men he has given us in the past.” Smith is looking fine and pros perous, and is looking forward to an enjoyable winter in Atlanta. Bill believes that there is only one real city in the world, and that’s Atlan ta. He can see that New York has some strong points and that Chi cago is a big place for its size—but Atlanta’s the town for Idm. Manager Smith expects to spend his whole winter in Atlanta. He will secure rooms at some hotel, as usual, and will make his hangout at baseball headquarters. 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 gaRM®. x 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 early- 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 two 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 tlie 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, alasl 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 lie 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 hero of 1912. Brickley kicks equally well on the drop or from placement. Most of his goats this season have been on drop kicks, but some of the most difficult chances—that drive from the 47-yard Hue in the Princeton game, for Instance—have been 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.—Tlie exodus of minor league mganates, who tarried in Chicago to change cars and a few bank notes on their return from the national meeting in Milwaukee, was complete to day.
