Whiting. is to hav< a “football ■ course." so the rumor goes, k It is reported that when Coach Heisman was re-engaged for another five-year period his work of making good teams was rendered tastier by the agreement to start a “cinch" course. Now, every college in the world except Tech has a “pipe" course. Sometimes it Is there by accident. More often, It is 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 ipan 'has to be a mental genius to do well both at athletics and at his studies in Tech. We have had such mon —“Chip" Robert was a notable example. But In the main, studies Interfere with athletics more at Tech than any college 1 ever knew of." Now, because a college has a, cinch course and because a lot of ‘ .athletes take It is no sign of ath letic crookedness Those not fa miliar with conditions would ba surprised at 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 on 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 lege life Maybe thts “cinch" course at Tech is a myth. Maybe denials will be* at once* forthcoming front Tech. Possibly it was only a . j canard, fabricated by some Geor gia man. One thing Is certain, Tech is do ing as much as it tan to make the fiats a pleasant place for those — ( • A 1 AA "■ I jjggg'-, W $t V < i wf J'*'^B> ? - F T ~ *"**"*J/ »• i 1 H 9 - «= U« i ’ ®-a SwU&WJutr r ' f J *<X '\..- 9 B -—sas*''* k =s i K Men are becoming more crit- I :fj ical in their shoe buying.

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 are entitled to nil the enjoyment that is coming to them." * 4< « QOUTHER.N college football v 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 the 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 takes all the pep out of the players. One Nash ville paper suggests Princeton tn stead, but that’s not much better from a car ride point of view. Ohio State Is suggested as a good puiu- to take the place of the Har vard contest, but that's a joke. The Commodores might as well play Boston University Law school or Peddle institute for all the credit FOR WINNING OLYMPIC EVENT LAD GETS SI,OOO LOS ANGELES. CAI... Nov. 19.—Be cause a student In the University of southern California won the high hur dles at 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, in return for which Kelly w-ill be given his education free for the remainder of his college course. In sp« iking of the. scholarship, Dr. Lindlej. 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 nnd meets the world's greatest athletes." said the doc tor. ‘ft is time that the people of his home city did the handsome thing for him I do not believe In giving cups and medal; they are never of any prac tical us« to the man who wins them, but let's reach dow n In our pockets and give this young man and the young men of his type that will follow him something to strive for."

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 r a game on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and if Van derbilt and Auburn are to meat 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. • e ♦ /"NF course, it’s like digging up an 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 tin 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 al! the rest of the season an anti-cllmax 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 impor tant game. And so lorfg 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 I GLASSES WHILE HUNTING LEAD HILL, ARK.. Nov 19.—Min t nesota Fanny, thoroughbred English setter, granddaughter of .the famous . Joe Cummins, wears spectacles. She I Is the property of Troy Cantrell, of this city, and was fitted out this week with i "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 t quail shooting season, Fanny went to ihe fields by herself, coming in at night badly scratched and many times show ing evidences of bad falls and bumps Her owner could not understand until i the opening day of the season, when he ( took his gun with Fanny to the field. Fanny tried hard, but could not keep front falling Into ditches and running I into trees, and Cantrell thought she • was locoed. It was discovered that her eyes had ; gone frfcd during the summer, and an oculist was called. i The dog's "specks” arc held in place ■ by straps and appear very much lik<- goggles. The lenses are protected from i damage bv protruding rims of metal. The dog seems to understand their i benefit and hunts like an old-timer with them on.

HOBO TO FIGHT ENGLISH HERE ON FRIDfiV By Left Hook. rpHE Dixie Athletic club has de- | cided to stage r 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 Youpg 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 Dohnn and Paddy Sullivan, two tough nuts in the Big City. While neither Dohan nor Sullivan are top-notchers, 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 ppt Motto away, then English won’t in ten rounds. # # # T N a boxing tournament to decide the city championship at differ ent weights in Toronto. Ontario, the oth< night a man completely knocked out but standing on his feet instinctively made a swing at his oppon nt and floored him for a complete knockout. It happened in the welterweight class and tlf 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 ta 4 be con scious of what he was doing, swung wildlj with his right. The blow hiffned 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. SOPHOMORES WIN TITLE OF CHAMPS AT EMORY AF<JUD. GA.. Nov. !».—The Sopho more.'- won die football pennant at Em ory ye? t rda' afternoon when botii games resulted in ties. The final score ~f the Eresh-Soph game was 6 to 6: the Junior- Senior game 12 to 12. The feature of the underclass game was a 10 -ai d run of Big" Jackson's, the freshman fullback.

Saxon and Stewart played good ball for the Juniors. Homer Cook, star halfback of Tech, served as head lineman: The standing of the teams.

Clemson All-Time All-Star Eleven Hard to Beat *’•••!* •}•••«• •ho*! - %•••> •!•••:• -r-e-r +•+ •!••+ Fast Offensive and Defensive Team Weighing 176 CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. C„ Nov. 19.—The following all-t'nie all-Ciemson football team was picked by Professor J. W. Gantt after consulting with Dr. W. M. Riggs, Professor 0. 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 bail for Clemson, and has always taken great interest in the athletic teams. He is eminent ly qualified to pick the all-Clemson ail-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 of 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 nWiin 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 cackle over tackle play marks him as one of the strongest offensive tackier 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 le.-e than two men to stop him. Weight, 190 pounds; height. .1 feet 7 1-2 inches. WALKER- -At the otr.c • tackle, and captain of the 1900 team, was a defensive player of marked abili ty. Fev plays came around his side of the line for any gain. Gas ton. at tackle, was as throng. and some of his defensive work was brilliant. Walker, however, was more consisted., and his greater ex perience would vivi 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, 16') pounds; height. 5 feet 9 1-2 inches. SADLER —At the other end, was of the consistent type, d-fensively 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 Here Is Clemson's Best Picked Eleven Name. Position. Heme. • Years Played. Weight. Kn slcr. centerend'•-.■sun, S.

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 fore, that he usually brought down ‘his man with the interference. Though a consistently fierce plav- lp to the heights— on the wings of the morning-—the Ford brings new joy and a new world—without exces sive cost. And now that our gigantic production has forced prices down to the very bottom you surely can afford a Ford. Every third car a Ford—and every Ford nsei a hoi'd booster.’ New prices runabout ss2s—touring car s6oo—deliv ery car s62s—town car sßoo—with all equipment, f. o. b. Detroit. Get partieu lars from Ford Motor Company, 311 Peachtree street, Atlanta, or direct from Detroit factory. By Fisher er on both defense and offense, no truer sportsman ever donned a football suit. Weight, 170 pounds: height, 5 feet 7 1-2 inches. HUNTER —Halfback, with splen did endurance, fast and rangy, would certainly’ make a good run ning mate for Furtifk. His broken field running w’as extremely clever, likewise his interfering and de fensive work was good. As a line plunger and defensive halfback, h«i 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 11 inches. DOUTHIT —Fullback, captain of the 1901 team, was a powerful and rangy player, consistently 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 pounds; height, 6 feet 1 inch. GOPHERS IN GOOD TRIM FOR GAME WITH CHICAGL MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 19.—The Gopher, plunged into practice today for Satur day’s combat.
