(Assistant Coaoh Vanderbilt Foot ball Team.)* N ashville, tenn . Nov. 21. Asked to forecast the re sult of the Auburn-Vander bilt game, I can only say that I am merely a football coach and not a clairvoyant. The time keeper’s whistle next Saturday afternoon is about the best authority that 1 can .think of on the outcome of this big affair. Both McGugin and myself real ize. that Auburn will let loose all the strength and power of attack they have so carefully concealed and hoarded during the team's play this season. The fact that Coach Donahue saw all the tricks of Van derbilt ami tin forward pass for mations both defensively and of fensively will make this week's < .. work all the harder, since we must practically ir<-at<’ an entirely new set of play We ate looking forward to the fieri a.-1 opposition the Vanderbilt team has bi «-n up against this year —that is. excepting the Harvard ' game. \V. will have to be mighty careful to bring the men back home in good enough shape to put them in tile Sewanee game with any sort • >;' chance to win. WILL BUILD NEW GOLF COURSE AT EAST LAKE rrxHE Atlanta Athletic club will I have a. new golf course at hkist Lake Work ligs already been started on it. When it is completed, most of tin pic nt course will bo abandoned While the present course at East Lake Is the best In the South it falls short of golfing perfection In several respects. For one thing, it has no “mashte holes.'' The two shortest are the first mid the third, and both of them are brisk midiron shots for all except the longest players. For another thing, the second hal sos the course is too •tiff—a succession of hard holes without a short one to break It up. Another tremendous disadvantage is the fact that the ninth hole is on the far side of the lake and an unconscionable distance from the club house This makes it impos sible for anybody playing a fchort round to get In nine real holes and -then get hack home again without a tremendous walk. The present ■nurse also contains several holes that arc distinctly “bad" from a golfing viewpoint -tliat is. they are of such a length that a good player has no advantage over a poor play er. and a man who makes a poor drive has as good a chance to lade not in four as the man who plays the hole perfectly . Among these justly despised drive-and-pitch holes >u the present course are the fifth. BLOOD POISON. Piles and Rectal Diseases. CURED TO STAY CURED.

But I rather expected to see Sewanee just rounding into form and I was greatly impressed with the way the Purple back field men performed. They are fast and shifty and will give us no end of trouble Thanks giving day. Talking about Sewanee must not be construed as wandering from the Auburn game, because the two fit closely into each other, and the score in the Sewanee game will de pend largely on the way Donahue’s team treats us next Saturday. When it comes to talking about the condition of the Commodores, 1 am more at home, for the cripples are my special charges. I am very much afraid that Morgan will not be aide to start at all Saturday, -int o 1). is suffering from grip and his physician has told him that he must not play. There is absolute ly no chance of Hardage going into the game, for his ankh is in awful shape and no earthly treatment will get him into condition.

But we , > ill do our level best and hope for ill. long end of the score. ixtli, ninth (from the short tee). tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth (from the regular tee). These will all be eliminated under the new scheme, as will virtually all par allel holes and most of the out of-bounds. The new course will run the re verse direction from the present course. The players will tee from the west side of the club house and play a little north of west to the first hole. The present twelfth hole will be played in the reverse direction. Instead of playing to • "the island" from the present tee. the hole will be a pitch from the present tenth tee. The present eighteenth hole will bo the ninth of the new course. On the other side of the lake several of the present holes will be used, notably two. three, four, seven and eight. From the present eighth a hole will be cut out or the woods un to the far corner of the club property the southeast coiner, that is. This will be a long, uphill hole of the three-full-shots variety. The mxt hole will run from the corner of the property down to the present ninth hole. This "ill be a long downhill hole. The course will then extend across tl>e little arm of the lake to the present circus ring hole. The distance of the new course will bi about thi same A the old, and the par will be 72.

Saturday’s dame for Championship Has the Whole of Dixie Guessing MAYBE VANDY IS AFRAID; MAYBE ONLY BLUFFING By Percy IT. Whiting. I S Vanderbilt chucking the most' j monumental bluff of gridiron history or is it really true that the Commodores are afraid of Au burn—and most thoroughly afraid, ut that? Ask us, for the question is inter esting! If it’s a bluff it's a wonder—a stony-faced, stand-pat. bet-the wliole-pile bluff. The Commodores a lie apparently anything but certain about the out come. They have called in all the graduates available as coaches. They have brought Fielding Yost post haste to the scene. They are parading a. hospital list as long as the registration roll, they are prac ticing long hours tn secret and they will not admit that a man on the team is in really good condition. The other side of it is this: The graduate coaches who were “hur ried to the scene” were living In Nashville anyhow, and didn’t have to “hurry” far. Fielding Yost al ways visits Nashville every fall for awhile, just after the Michigan season ends. And as for the hos pital list —well, barring Morgan, who seems to have a bit of fever, and Hrtrdage. whose ankle hasn't recovered from the wrench it re ceived In she Harvard game, they all get In practice and work mighty hard. So it leaves a man in doubt. 'pilEN there’s still another slant. Auburn men really believe their team has a chance with Van derbilt. I talked over long-dis tance phone yesterday with Atti cus Muller, sporting editor of The Birmingham Ledger. Says he: "Don’t you Vanderbilt men get to thinking this game is any cinch. I shouldn’t be surprised If Auburn bent. We look for a grand game— and one a lot closer than Nashville papers are willing to concede." w Auburn has been laying for Van derbilt all this year. The Alabam ans have stuff up their sleeves they never used before. They have some grand men and they are on edge. They haven't a cripple worth men tioning. They will piny football that Is football, and don’t anybody doubt that. The game Saturday in Birming ham will make football history. Also, It w ill make the blood tingle, oi we miss our guess. *• • X JONEAV, of the Wisconsin foot ball team, recently issued the following “don’ts” for the players of his eleven: Don't go “fussing."

Don't attend banquets, dinners or “hops." Don't report late for football practice. ♦ ♦ • pHE folhall field in Rickwood park, Birmingham, has been entirely shifted around for the Vanderbilt - Auburn game.

Princeton has won seven games from Yale, Harvard four, West Point three and Columbia one. Yale has scored 9,214 points in the 220 games to 479 points by op posing teams. Amherst has played eighteen games with Yale yvithout being able to score. Yale’s highest scoi ■ was 136 to 0, against Wesleyan.

The new rules have allowed a most divers!- VETERANSOF CLEMSON TO FACE TECH ELEVEN C, LEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 21. That Tech-Tiger Thanks giving tie-up is touted to be a thriller. Certainly the Tigers are going to do their utmost to make amends for all shortcomings of whatever kind during the present somewhat erratic season. At times the Clemson bunch has gh’en evi dence of remarkable ability, only to fall down fiat at the very, next cri sis. The team that will go up against the Yellow .Jackets will be the very best that has been lined up this season. The same statement might be made in regard to the Tech line up. But there is this difference: Clemson regards the game with the Yellow Jackets as the biggest event of the season, while Tech looks upon the Georgia game as the clas sic happening. Tech is going to be a little over-confident. Another thing that is going to make this season’s contest more fa vorable to the Tigers than any previous engagement will be the presence of Clemson rooters in large numbers. A special train will be run from Calhoun that will take down all the cadets that care to go. The rate is Just about one fare—l4—and a couple of hundred of the lusty b.inged have already signified their intention of taking the trip. Sev eral members of the faculty yvill also go down to witness the game. Colonel Josiah Cummins lias given permission to all who have not too many demerits to take the trip. Never before has the Clemson team played a Thanksgiving game with Tech save when the lonely Tigers had only a corporal’s guard of sup porters. There Is a Clemson club in At lanta now that will likely add con siderable volume to the Tiger din on Turkey day. The Tigers are i>r excellent con dition for the fight of their lives. Two or three of the men are out of the game, but there are others to take their places. Schroder has appendicitis; Gee has a fractured shoulder, and Pressley, the fighting half back, has a bad leg. Other wise, the men are fit. The only trouble now Is the short time for practice. Coach Dobson says that lie has only fifteen minutes of day light practice. True, the big arc lights help some, but not much real football can be pulled off under such conditions. Coach Dobson has selected the following line-up for the game; Lewis, left end. 128 pounds; Gandy, left tackle. 166; Schllletter, left guard. 190; Carson, center, 165; I Turbeville, tight guard. 19": Britt leapt: im. right tavkh. 17v; t’augh muu. right end. Ito: Coles, quae- tied attack. To meet it an alert, intelligent defense has been neces sary. Players who have used their brains, in conjunction with their speed and strength, have done things. # • • “pHE surprise of the season has * been the fact that once again the forward pass has been a fail ure. It has, in a measure, acc->m plished its secondary purpot of scaring the defensive players and of making an open style of defense necessary. But it hasn't been worth a hang at advancing the ball. Even Vanderbilt, the team that invented the successful use of the blasted thing, couldn't make it come off. It is up to the rules committee to rip off a few’ more of the restric tions around the play’ and to do what they can to make it possible to use it successfully—at least once in ten tries —which is above the present average. ter, 135; James, left half. .145; Kangeter, right half. 148: Webb, full back. 163. This line-up shows a collection of veterans largely. Most of the new men who have been given a try out all along during the season are left oft for tliis one game, because it is absolutely essential to have a well seasoned team to go up against the shifty, well trained Tech bunch. Coach Dobson has sacrificed con siderable av’oirdupois, but he has more than made up for the loss in the great gain in experience. This bunch will get special training for the Jackets. PART OF HARVARD TEAM JOURNEYS TO NEW HAVEN CAMBRIDGE, MASS., Nov. 21.—The Harvard backfield, ends and about ten subs left for New Haven today. They will be joined by the linemen and the rest of the scrubs there tomorrow and will have two work-outs in Yale field before their clash with the Blue on Saturday. Coaches and players are confident of victory. The team, r< garded as one of the best that ever represented Harvard, is in tip-top shape. Brickley’s booting toe has gained in accuracy and the squad, has mastered some new trick plays which will be sprung in the game and which the coaches feel sure yvill be pro ductive of big gains. The line-up of the team will be the same as that which defeated Dart mouth Saturday. CHAMPIONSHIP AND COIN ARE COPPED BY W. HOPPE — e — NEW YORK.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—Any time that you get a bunch of ball players to fanning you are bound to hear some interesting stuff. A bunch of them were doing that at Milwaukee during the minor league meeting, and during the stories they told was one that had to do with the inside story of the trouble in the ranks of the Boston Americans during the world’s se -1 ties. Also of tile Giant who suf fered the greatest case or the most acute state of stage fright during this same world’s series. Also the story of a fellow who gave one monumental exhibition of courage during the series between the Sox and the Cubs. Story of Red Sox Feud. It will be remembered that Joe Wood and Buck O'Brien were said to have come to blows prior to the last game of the series for the world's championship. Back of that is a story. Here is the story as told by’ a major league player who attended that meeting-. “The fellows down East (meaning the ball players, of course) said that a big bet iyy a brother of Joe Wood caused the troublA." said , this player. Il seems that on the Saturday belote tile Monday on tvhich O Brien pitched the game that this brother of the Boston twirler went out and bet a large sum. I have heard that he wagered S7OO. He was figuring, of course, that Joe woqld do the pitching. As a matter of fact, he was betting on his broth er, rather than on the Boston club. O’Brien in; Money Gone. "Joe knew about it. When Mon day dawned there was some ques tion about who was going to pitch the game. Joe was anxious to work. He appeal to Stahl. The manager said that O’Brien would twirl. I he) e was no chance of pulling hack the money and it ‘rode.’ O’Brien was hammered to a fare you-well, in audition to making a balk. The money was lost and the two Wood brothers naturally were sore. The fellows 1 talked to were certain that it was the big wager which led to the argument and the trouble.” The fanning fest was continued, with tlie result tliat one of the oth er players present told the story of how far up in the air Fletcher was. your friends with a Jchn Ruskin Cigar.

Doyle Keeps Qtiiet. “In one of the games Fletcher was so far up in the air that ha scarcely knew where he was." said this player. “Not only was he nervous, but he knew he was nerv ous. “He went over to Doyle, who was playing second. He told the cap tain that he (Fletcher) was so nervous that he was afraid to at tempt to take a throw if it came to second base from the catcher. He asked Doyle if he would take all of Meyer’s throws in case a Boston player attempted to steal. “Doyle, instead of reporting t# Manager McGraw and getting an other of the Giants at second, stood by Fletcher and said nothing. But that was the condition on the In field. In a part of a world’s cham pionship game the Giants had * man at short who was so nervous that he couldn't take a throw and who knew he was that bad.” Lavender Shows Nerve. 'And here’s the story of whet I ' call downright nerve,” broke in an other major league player. “You fellows will recall that the Sox and the Cubs worked their count to three and three games. The game on the morrow settled the cham pionship of the city and it was s foregone conclusion that Ed Walsh would pitch. It was almost aa cer tain that he would be opposed by Jimmy Lavender. “Now. the dope favored the Whit* Sox. They had Wateh and they were coming. They had the confi dence and victory seemed a cer tainty. Yet on the night before the final game Jimmy Lavender bet SIOO that he would win his game. “I call that nerve.” There was not a dissenting voice.
