Vanderbilt Working Hard for Game With Auburn
4-*4* 4-*4- 4-*4- 4-«4- 4-*4- +•+
Battle of McGugin Brain Versus Donahue Brain
Nashville, tenn., Nov. 19.
When the referee’s whistle
brings the Commodores and
the Auburnites together at Bir
mingham next Saturday, there will
be a fight to a finish between a
lampion 'and a challenger. In
many respects this encounter will
b, the most spectacular staged on
Southern gridiron this year.
Auburn Is the proud possessor of
an enviable record. No opponent
■ VI the South has flashed across
their goal line. And they have
grappled with the best of them.
>nly the stigma of the Harvard de
feat mars the Commodores’ slate,
'nd that defeat was more or less
expected by every one. But once
since the wonderful McGugin came
to Vanderbilt in 1904 have the
Commodores been forced to taste
defeat by a Southern eleven.
Twice under the McGugin regime
ms Auburn and Vanderbilt hooked
up. Once in 1905, when the Com
modores smothered Auburn 54 to 0,
and in 1909 when even the dazzling
Fiardage could not carry Vander
bilt to victory, although they were
only beaten 17 to 0.
For Donahue’s team Vanderbilt
itertains a most wholesome re
spect. They know much about Au
burn’s ability this year, for they
are spent many hours analyzing
the team's strength and weakness.
They do not propose to be caught
napping as they were in 1909, when
the Sewanee Tiger leaped down
from the mountain and literally
tore the Commodore limb from
limb.
Donahue Went to Harvard.
Donahue gtlayed a trump card on
McGugin when Foxy Mike jour
neyed over 1.500 miles to see Dan’s
hand exposed in the Harvard Sta
dium. To just what extent he will
be able to profit by the knowledge
gained there will not be known till
about sundown next Saturday.
There are a host of rabid disciples
of McGugin who believe him capa
ble of devising an entirely new set
of freak formations and unfathom
able disguises for his bewildering
forward parses.
They argue that the brain that
conceived plays so deceptive as to
baffle the Crimson clan, will by
Saturday have invented no end of
methods to mislead the Auburnites.
Because the Commodore forwards
w»re in such poor physical shape

RED HOT CONTEST WHEN
A. B. C. PLAYS TUSKEGEE
It will be weight anti speed against
snap, dash and enthusiasm when Tuske
gee meets Atlanta Baptist college Satur
day at Bence DeLehn. Tuskegee has a
line that averages 180 pounds and a back
field but a trifle lighter. In the game
with Fisk last Saturday the Tuskegee
backs battered down their opponents' line
at will, making consistent gains of 5, 10
and 15 yards. They expect to do the
same for the local line on Saturday.
Atlanta Baptist college will meet this
line-smashing eleven with a hitherto in
vincible set of forwards and a backfield
that has the snap, dash and enthusiasm
beforementioned.
Coach Archer believes that he has a
defense that will stop anything that Tus
kegee can bring. fits line averages 170
pounds, and it Is a significant fact that
during the entire history* of the local
team, since the coming of Coach Archer,
eight years ago, only one squad has
smashed the local line for a touchdown.
That was the husky Indian-mixed bunch
from Hampton, and they received in re
turn for this signal accomplishment a
surprising defeat of 16 to 5.

With only one more game to be played,
Hoppe leads with five victories and one
defeat. Morningstar and Slosson are tied

CHANCE WILL BE
H MANAGER
HFYANKEES
NEW YORK. Nov. 19.—Frank
Chance will direct the des
tinies of the New York
Americans In 1913 if Frank Far
rell is successful in his negotiations
to get the Peerless Leader out of
the National league. Mr. Farrell
steadfastly asserts that he has
made no overtures to the deposed
leader of the Cubs. These asser
tions fall in line with a policy to
keep the matter of negotiations as
secret us possible.
That Farrell has broached the
matter to Chance, and broached it
in no light vein, comes from the
Peerless Leader himself. When
“Husk” returned to the Pacific
coast after his tight with Murphy
he told a close friend that he
would surely be in New York next
season if he could get out of the
National league. He said that
Frank Farrell had made him a gen
erous offer, one that would more
than compensate him for the ig
nominy of his dismissal from the
Cubs.
C. W. Murphy’s breezy chatter
seems to have scared National
league club owners off the Peerless
Leader. When the "Verbose One”
asked waivers only two clubs. Cin
cinnati and Pittsburg, claimed the
man 'Who made the Cubs famous.
.Murphy had circulated the report
that Chance’s head was never
quite as sound after he underwent
an operation for the removal of a
blood clot.
It is learned that Herrmann and
Dreyfuss claimed Chance in order
to thwart Murphy’s purpose of
sending the former Chicago idol
back to the minors. Neither, it is
said, intends to keep him as play
er or manager. If this is true,
some way should be found to get
Chance out of the National league.
Frank Farrell is a very close friend
of both Herrmann and Dreyfuss.
KRAENZLEIN RETAINED
TO COACH_GERMAN TEAM
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Dr. Alvin
Kraenzlein, generally rated as one of
America's greatest athletes when lie

engaged by the German Olympic ath
letic committee to develop a team to
represented that country In the Berlin
revival of the famous Greek games
four years hence.
The former trainer of the University
of Michigan and Mercersburg school is
in Berlin, and came to terms with
"those higher up” in the cinder path
sport there several days ago. His sal
ary, it is said, will be $3,000 a year.
An American friend who made the
trip and is said to be as conversant
with athletics as the eminent trainer
himself will assist Dr. Kraenzlein in
his new endeavors. The pair will be
known as "chief trainers for the Ger
man Olympic team of 1916.”

So spake Al Kaufman to his

The pity of it was that Kaufman
was not aware of the pugilistic

It looks indeed as though a sus

It’s one 'of the evils of pugilism

NOTHING EQUALS S.S.S
FOR OLD SORES
Nothing equals S. S. S. as a cure for Old Sores because nothing equals
it as a blood purrtier. The source and supply of even' chronic sore is im
pure blood; the circulation is infected with germs and morbid accumula
tions which are being constantly deposited into the open place. This
causes ulceration and inflammation of the flesh tissues and produces a con
dition upon which salves, washes, lotions, etc., can have no curative effects.
The blood must be purified of all infectious matter before the circulation
can nourish the flesh tissues and stimulate them to the healthy condition
necessary to heal the sore. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the
fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the germs and morbid matters
which are keeping the ulcer open. Then as new, rich blood is carried to
the place, the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves,
new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the ulcer is well.' You
are not wasting time when you use S. S. S., but you are giving yourself
the benefit of the very best treatment for old sores. Book on Sores and Ul
cers and any medical advice free. S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
