Tech to Put on “Football Course/' Says Rumor
->•8- <•••!• •{•••!• -r*-r •J**+ •r*-r
Yellow Jackets Doing Things to Attract Athletes
Bj’ Percy 11. Whiting.
ECU is to have a ' football
I course,” so the rumor goes.
It is reported that when
Coach Heisman was re-engaged for
another five-year period his work
of mailing good teams was rendered
easier by the agreement to start
a "cinch" course.
I Now. every college in the world
except Tech has a "pipe" course.
Sometimes it is there by accident.
More often, it le to be feared, it is
there by design. Anyhow, it is a
course that an athlete can take
without Interfering too seriously
with his outdoor work.
"I have to confess,” said Coach
Heisman a good while ago. "that a
man has to be a mental genius to
do well both at athletics and at
hi studies in Tech. We have had
such mon—-“Chip'' Robert was a
notable example. Rut in the main,
studies interfere with athletics
more at Tech than any college 1
ever knew of."
Now, because a college has a
finch course and because a lot of
Athletes take It is no sign of ath
letic crookedness. Those not fa
miliar witli conditions would be
surprised nt the number of men
who slave their way through col
lege for the one purpose of playing
on the baseball and football teams.
With these men there Is no chance
<>n earth that they would go to col
lege except for the added incentive
of a chance at gridiron and dia
mond honors. Naturally these ath
letic students take the easiest
course the one that Interferes
least with the real things of col
'egi life.
Maybe this “cinch" course nt
Tech Is a myth. Maybe denials
will be at once forthcoming from
Tech. Possibly It was only a
canard fabricated by some Geor
gia man.
One thing is certain. Tech is do
ing as much as it can to make the
flats a pleasant place for those

athletically inclined. The reason
the Tech team took so many trips
early this season was with a view
of giving the football players some
thing attractive in their otherwise
colorless lives.
"There's little enough to induce a
good athlete to come to Tech now
adays." said Athletic Director W.
N. Randle, when asked the reason
for so many games on the road and
so few at home. "So we have
scheduled some trips that should
be pleasant ones -to Charleston, to
Jacksonville and to places of that
sort. The boys enjoy it and they
sire entitled to all the enjoyment
that is corning to them."
COITTHERN college football
schedules may be considerably
changed for next season. And
some which may not be changed
much ought to.
The Commodore schedule which
is of interest because on Vander
bilt rests the task of worthily rep
resenting tile South in contests
with other sections, is up for dis
cussion.
The Commodores will hardly play
Harvard again. It is understood
that the Crimson will offer the
Southerners another game, but it
is doubtful if Vanderbilt will ac
cept It. They say in Nashville that
the trip to Cambridge is too long
and that the jaunt tawes all the
pep out of the players. One Nash
ville paper suggests Princeton in
stead. but that's not much better
from a car ride point of view.
Ohio State is suggested as a good
game to take the place of the Har
vard contest, but that’s a joke. The
Commodores might as well play
Boston University Daw school or
Peddie institute for all the credit
FOR WINNING OLYMPIC
EVENT LAD GETS SI,OOO
EOS ANGELES. CAL., Nov. 19.—Be
cause a student in the University of
southern California won the high hur
dles nt the Olympic games this year,
after defeating in his trial and final
heats all the best hurdlers in the world,
it was decided by persons interested in
amateur athletics to start a movement
to pay a lasting tribute to the boy who
chose to compete for his home and at
tend college, where he was known, in
stead of going off to some Eastern col
lege, where he would have been lost in
th big crowd.
One thousand dollars were raised by
the friends of Kelly and the university
and turned over to the university en
dowment fund, tn return for which
Kelly will be given his education free
for the remainder of his college course.
In speaking of the scholarship, Dr.
Lindley. who originated the idea, said
that he thought it was time the older
generations reached out and did some
thing for the next generation besides
telling them to strive and win out.
"When a young man like Kelly goes
over to a foreign land and meets the
world’s greatest athletes." said the doc
tor. “it is time that the people of his
home city did the handsome thing for
him Ido not believe in giving cups
and medal; they are never of any prac
tical use to the man who wins them,
but let's reach down in our pockets and
give this young man and the young
men of his type that will follow him
something to strive for."

they would get from winning. The
Commodores must either play some
real team of the middle West or,
better still, some good Eastern team.
Princeton is the natural and log
ical team for an annual game with
the Southern champions. It ought
to be arranged.
Another point: If Tech isn’t go
ing to play a game on the Saturday
before Thanksgiving and if Van
derbilt and Auburn are to meet
every year on that date, the game
should be played in Atlanta in
stead of Birmingham. They don’t
want it in Nashville, because they
say it doesn’t pay there. It would
pay here, however, and pay hand
somely.
o • »
z \F course, it’s like digging up un
old stale argument from its
grave, but one thing is certain,
and that Is that the Georgia and
Tech sympathizers will never be
satisfied until the Tech-Georgia
game is played on Thanksgiving
day. as it surely should be.
This business of playing the ONE
BIG GAME along in mid-November
and then of having all the rest of
the season an anti-climax is wrong.
This silly situation is forced on the
public because the athletic authori
ties believe there is more money in
the present arrangement. We em
phatically do not believe this. By
hoisting the prices for the Thanks
giving day game, and this would
be legitimate enough, more money
could be earned and everybody
would be better satisfied. The sea
sons of the Georgia and Tech teams
ought to end with the most impor
tant game. And so long as Tech
is Tech and Georgia is Georgia the
game between them will be the cli
max of the season for them both.
ARKANSAS SETTER USES
GLASSES WHILE HUNTING
LEAD HILL, ARK.. Nov. 19.—Min
nesota Fanny, thoroughbred English
setter, granddaughter of the famous
Joe Cummins, wears spectacles. She
Is the property of Troy Cantrell, of this
city, and was fitted out this week with
"specks" by an oculist of Harrison, who
found that she was suffering from as
tigmatism. This dog hae been known
as the best hunting dog in northwest
Arkansas for years.
This year, before the opening of the
quail shooting season, Fanny went to
the fields by herself, coming in at night
badly scratched and tnanv times show
ing evidences of bad falls and bumps
Her owner could not understand until
the opening day of the season, when he
took his gun with Fanny to the field.
Fanny tried hard, but could not keep
from falling into ditches and .’tinning
into trees, and Cantrell thought she
was locoed.
It was discovered that her eyeff had
gone bad during the summer, and an
oculist was called.
The dog's "specks" are held in place
by Straps and appear very much like
goggles. The lenses are protected from
damage by protruding rims of metal.
The dog seems to understand their
benefit and hunts like an old-timer with
them on.

MOTTO TO FIGHT
ENGLISH HERE
ON FRIDAY
By Left Hook.
THE Dixie Athletic club has de
cided to stage a bout this
week after all. Young Mot
to, who was sent here unrequested
and unknown to the promoters of
the local boxing institution in place
of Young Otto, who wired that he
is sick, is going to be stacked up
against Clarence English next Fri
day night.
Motto brought along a bunch of
newspaper clippings from New
York that shows he knows how to
handle himself. He has defeated
Johnny Dohan and Paddy Sullivan,
two tougn nuts in the Big City.
While neither Dohan nor Sullivan
are top-notehers, both are consid
ered first-class trial horses for
new-comers in Gay Gotham, and
both are good, rough, hard mixers.
Motto is a likely looking young
man and he verily has a heap of
confidence In his ability, for he has
signed his contract with the club
with a clause which says he gets
not a cent if English knocks him
out. Surely if Paddy Sullivan, a
terrific hitter, if nothing more,
could not put Motto away, then
English won’t in ten rounds
#4O
I N a boxing tournament to decide
the city championship at differ
ent weights In Toronto, Ontario,
the other night a man completely
knocked out but standing on his
feet instinctively made a swing at
his opponent and floored him for a
complete knockout. It happened in
the welterweight class and Alf
Saunders, champion of the division,
was defending his title against J.
Harris, a new-comer to the game.
In the third round Saunders had
Harris completely out, although he
was not knocked down. The ref
eree was about to stop the bout and
award the decision to Saunders,
when Harris, who was completely
out and did not seem to be con
scious of what he was doing, swung
wildly with his right. The blow
landed flush on Saunders’ chin,
knocking him out completely. Har
ris was thereupon declared the win
ner, although it was fully a minute
before he realized what had hap
pened.

Clemson All-Time All-Star Eleven Hard to Beat
+•❖ +•+ -r*4- +••?• 4"«4" +•+ +**fc
Fast Offensive and Defensive Team Weighing 176
CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.,
Nov. 19.—The following all-time
all-Clemson football team was
picked by Professor J. W. Gantt
after consulting with Dr. W. M.
Riggs. Professor D. H. Henry and
others who have seen most of the
Clemson teams and who have been
much interested in them. Profes
sor Gantt is secretary and treas
urer of the athletic association. He
once pitched ball for Clemson, and
has always taken great interest in
the athletic teams. He is eminent
ly qualified to pick the all-Clemson
all-time eleven.
KEESLER—Center, though only
playing one year, it without a peer
among Clemson centers, and would
strengthen any team of his time.
In all probability he is the most
powerful man that ever wore a
Clemson uniform, and certainly a
harder tackler has never been de
veloped here. His passing was es
pecially good. His strength and
fearlessness, coupled with the abil
ity to diagnose offensive formation,
puts him in a class with the best
in the country. Weight, 190 pounds;
height, 6 feet.
FORSYTHE, J. C.—One of three
brothers who played on Clemson’s
team, would be the lightest man in
the line, and. while nothing like so
strong a man as Fleming or Britt,
nor so fast a charger as Breeden,
his knowledge of the game and
general ability would entitle him to
one of the guard positions. Many
6f the long gains that were made
in 1902, 1903 and 1904 were influ
enced materially by Forsythe’s in
terfering. Under Heisman's re
gime, when a guard led all the in
terferences, Forsythe proved to be
the man who could get out of line
and turn the trick. Weight, 175
pounds; height, 6 feet.
DERRlCK—Captain of the 1905
team, and one of Clemson’s main
stays for four years on the gridiron,
would easily land the other guard.
He was one of the fastest and
strongest chargers that Clemson
ever produced. During his four
years on the team he played guard,
tackle and fullback, and proved to
be a good man in each position.
Few men in Southern football have
been so effective in carrying the
ball from the line position. Weight,
195 pounds: height, 6 feet.
M'LAURIN—Tackle, and captain
of 1907 team. His ground gaining
ability in the old tackle over tackle
play marks him as one of the
strongest offensive tackles of the
South. His weight made him a
hard man to get hold of. and his
strength and cleverness on his feet
made it almost impossible for less
than two men to stop him. Weight,
190 pounds; height. 5 feet 7 1-2
inches.
WALKER—At the other tackle,
and captain of the 1900 team, was
a defensive player of marked abili
ty. Few plays came around his
side of the lino for any gain. Gas
ton. at tackle, was as strong, and
some of his defensive work was
brilliant. Walker, however, was
more consistent and his greater ex
perience would give hint the posi
tion. Weight. 200 pounds: height,
6 feet 2 Inches.
SITTON—As an offensive end,
was one of the best that the South
has ever produced. His broken
field running was brilliant, and dur
ing his two years of football he
probably had more long runs to
his credit than any player of his
time. There were few games in
which he played that he did not get
loose for long runs. Weight, 160
rounds; heignt. 5 feet 9 1-2 Inches.
SADLER—At the other end. was
of the consistent type, defensively
and offensively. With Sitton, he
formed a valuable combination. It
was the exception when they al
lowed a gain to be made on a re
turned punt. They were both fast
and hard tacklers. Sadler is the
only player who has the honor of
being twice captain of his team

pounds; height, 5 feet 8 1-2 inches.
MAXWELL—Quarterback, light,
but with his wonderful speed and
versatility is in a class to himself.
His punting was as good as the
South has ever seen, averaging 45
yards for the two years he played.
In his two years at quarter he had
one fumble, and his broken field
running was brilliant. Doc McFad
den is his nearest rival in running
back punts, and the ability of both
to take the ball on the run is re
sponsible for getting away from
the defensive ends for long gains.
Maxwell is the only man who has
come under my observation who
could boot the ball with as much
precision on the run from an end
running formation as from a nor
mal kick formation. Few people
who saw Clemson's 1902 and 1903
teams in action will ever forget the
speed and snap with which he ran
his team. Weight, 148 pounds;
height, 5 feet 10 inches.
FURTlCK—Halfback, and cap
tain of the 1906 team, was premier
as a line plunger, a quick starter,
ran low with the ball and had a
remarkable constitution, which is
shown by the fact that during his
four years of football he was re
moved only once on account of in
jury. In backing up the line, he
was a most valuable man, being a
fierce tackler, having the ability to
diagnose offensive formation and to
meet the play with such terrific
force that he usually brought down
his man with the interference.
Though a consistently fierce play-
l p to the heights—on the
wings of the morning---the
Ford brings new joy and a

HUNTER —Halfback, with splen
did endurance, fast and rangy,
would certainly make a good run
ning mate for Furtick. His broken
field running was extremely clever,
likewise his interfering and de
fensive work was good. As a line
plunger and defensive halfback, he
was not so good as R. H. McFad
den, nor as a broken field runner
was he any better than Webb.
However, when his general ability
in all departments of the game is
considered, he would certainly be
the choice for this position.
Weight, 165 pounds; height 5 feet
Il inches.
DOUTHlT—Fullback, captain of
the 1901 team, was a powerful and
rangy jnayer, good in
all departments of the game. While
his offense was not in the class
with C. Hanvey, who is without
doubt the greatest line plunger
from this position that Clemson
has ever produced, his defense is
much stronger, and his full knowl
edge of the game and ability as a
leader would make him the logical
choice for captain. Weight, 185
