Vandy Coach Expects Auburn
To Give His Men Hardest Game
By Dr. Owsley Manier.
i Assistant Coach Vanderbilt Foot
ball Team.)
NASHVILLE. TENN.. Nov. 21.
Asked to forecast the re
sult of the Auburn-Vander
bilt game. I can only say that 1 am
merely a football coach and not a
clairvoyant. The time keeper's
w histle next Saturday afternoon is
about the best authority that I can
think of on the outcome of this big
affair.
Both McGugin and myself real
ise that Auburn will let loose all
the strength ami 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 and the forward pass for
mations both . defensively and of
- will make this week's
work all the harder, since we must
practically create an entirely new
set of plays.
tVe are looking forward to the
fiercest opposition the Vanderbilt
team has been up against this year
—that is. excepting the Harvard
game. We will have to be mighty
careful to bring the men back
home in good enough shape to put
them in the Sewanee game with
any sort of chance to win.
WILL BUILD NEW GOLF
COURSE AT EAST LAKE
rpHE Atlanta Athletic club will
J have a new golf course at
East Dake. Work has already
been started on it. When it is
completed, most of the present
course will be abandoned.
While the present course at I'lbst
Lake is the best in the South, It
falls short of golfing perfection in
several respects. For one thing, it
has no "mashie holes." The two
shortest are the first and the third,
and both of them are brisk miriiron
shots for all except the longest
players. For another thing, the
second lial sos the course Is too
stiff 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 short
round to get in nine real holes ami
then get back home again without
a tremendous walk. The present
course also contains several holes
that are distinctly "bad” from a
golfing viewpoint that 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 aagorxl a chance to hole
out in four as the man w ho plays the
hole perfectly. Among these justly
despised drive-and-pitch holes on
the present course are the fifth,

1 was not in the least bit sur
prised at the Alabama-Sewanee
game Saturday. Ido not mean re
garding the score. 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

Talking about Kewanee 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 uh next Saturday.
When it comes to talki<yj 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 able to start at all Saturday,
since he 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 ankle is in awful
shape and no etirthly treatment will
get him into condition.
The loss of these two splendid
players will weaken our chances
more than 200 per cent. But we
will do our level best and hope for
the long end of the score.
sixth, ninth (from the short tee),
eleventh, 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 holly 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 be 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 of the woods up to the
far corner of the e.ltib property —
the southeast corner, that is. This
will be a long, uphill hole of the
three-full-shots variety. The next
hole will run from the corner of
the property down to the present
ninth hole. This will be a long
downhill hole. The course will then
extend across the little arm of the
lake to the present circus ring hole.
The distance of the new course will
be about the same as the old, and
the par will be 72,
The club forces are now busy lev

Saturday's Game for Championship Has the Whole of Dixie Guessing
MAYBE VANDY IS AFRAID: MAYBE ONLY BLUFFING
By Percy 11. Whiting.
IS Vanderbilt chucking the most
monumental bluff of gridiron
history or is it really true that
the Commodores are afraid of Au
burn—and most thoroughly afraid,
at 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
whole-plle bluff.
The Commodores are 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 in secret and they
will hot 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 Hardage, whose ankle hasn’t
recovered from the wrench it re
ceived in the Harvard game, they
all in practice and work mighty
hard. So it leaves a man in doubt.
♦ • •
’’J' HEN 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
beat. We look for a grand game—
and one a lot closer than Nashville
papers are willing to concede."
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 w'orth men
tioning-. They will play football
that Is football, and don’t anybody
doubt that.
The game Saturday in Birming
ham will make football history.
Also, ft will make the blood tingle,
or we miss our guess.

JONFIAU, of the Wisconsin foot
ball team, recently issued the
following "don’ts” for the players
of his eleven:
Don’t go “fussing.”
Don’t smoke.
Don’t stay out late nights.
Don’t indulge in strong drinks.
Don’t eat pie.
Don’t get less than eight hours of
sleep a night.
Don’t spend ’ Sunday morning
sleeping.
Don’t attend banquets, dinners or
"hops.”
* Don’t report late for football
practice.

'pHE fotball field in Rickwood
park. Birmingham, has been
entirely shifted around for tfie

A squad of twenty cops has been
secured to handle the crowds.

A ST. LOUIS brewer has offered
a cup for the best football
player in the city of St. Louis. The
prize is to be awarded as the
Chalmers automobile is. to the man,
who. in the opinion of a committee
of newspaper men. is the most use
ful.
If such a cup were offered for
the best player in Georgia there
wouldn't be much doubt about the
one-two tanking. McWhorter and
McDonald would get the call.
•> Q «
iir HEN the football season open
’’ ed The Georgian published a
list of the stars of past seasons on
the gridiron. It ran something like
this: 1902, Weeks; 1903, Heston;
1904 Dewitt. 1905, Shevlin; 1906,
Eckersall; 1907, Kennard; 1908,
Coy; 1909, Kilpatrick; 1910, Sprack-
Hng; 1911, White; 1912, ? It is now
quite evident that that question
mark stood for Brickley of Har
vard.
qINCE 1884 and not including this
season, Yale has played 220
football games, and of these only
fifteen were defeats.
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 without
being able to score.
Yale's highest score was 136 to
0, against Wesleyan.

VETERANSOF CLEMSON
TO FACE TECH ELEVEN
CLEMSON 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 lias given evi
dence of remarkable ability, only to
fall down flat 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 afl
the cadets that care to go. The rate
is just about one fare—s4 —and a
couple df hundred of the lusty
lunged have already signified their
intention of taking the trip. Sev
eral members of the faculty will
also go down to witness the game.
Colonel Josiah Ctunmins has 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 in excellent con
dition for the fight of their lives.
Two or three of the men are out
of the game, but there are others
t« take their places. Schroder has
appendicitis; Gee has a fractured
shoulder, a.ud Pressley, the fighting
half back, has a bad leg. Other
wise, the men are tit. The only
trouble now is the short time for
practice. Coach Dobson says that
he 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 ha’s selected the
following line-up for the game:
Lewis, left end, 128 •pounds;
Gandy, left tackle. 166: Schllletter,
left guard, 190; Carson, center, 165;
Turbeville, right guard, 190; Britt
(captain>. right tackle, 170; Caugh
inan, right end. 110; f'ole-*, qua: - •
fled 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.
* • •
THE surprise of the season has
been the fact that once again
the forward pass has been a fail
ure. It has, in a measure, accom.-
plished its secondary purpose 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
left off for this 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 avoirdupois. 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 arc
confident of victory.
The team, regarded as one of the best
that ever represented Harvard, is in
tip-top shape. Brlckley’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 will 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
NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—Willie Hoppe
is, again the 18.2 balk line billiard
champion of the world and consider
ably richer today as a result of defeat
ing Ora Morningstar in the final game
of the tournament last night. Hoppe
won six games and lost one.
George Slosson was second with five
victories and two defeats and Morn
ingstar and Kodjei Yamada, the Japa
nese. tied for third place with four wins
and three losses.
Hoppe got $2,000 and a share of the
gate receipts, as well as a cop; Slosson
got $1,500. and Yamada and Morning

total of $1,500.

Big Bet Caused Feud on Boston
Team in Series With New York
By Bill Bailey.
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
ries. Also of the 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 fettows down East (meaning
the ball players, of course) said
that a big bet by a brother of Joe
■Wood caused the trouble,” said
this player.
"It seems that on the Saturday'
betore the Monday on which
O’Brien pitched the game that this
brother of the Boston twlrler went
out and bet a large sum. I have
heard that he wagered S7OO. He was
figuring, of course, that Joe would
do tlie pitching. As a matter of
fact, he was betting on his broth
er, nether than on the Boston club.
O'Brien in; Money Gone.
"Joe knew about it. When Mon
day dawned there was some ques
tton 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.
There was no chance of pulling
back the money and it ‘rode.’
O’Brien was hammered to a fare
you-welj, in addition to making a
balk. The money was lost and the
two Wood brothers naturally were
sor*. The fellows J talked to were
certain that it was the big wager
which led to the argument and the
trouble.”
The fanning fest was continued,
with the result that one of the oth
er players present told the story of
how far up in the air Fletcher was.

And this man blamed one Larry
Doyle. Dole was captain of the
Giants, it will be remembered.
Doyle Keeps Quiet.
"In one of the games Fletcher
was so far up in the air that he
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 (Jiat 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 K
asked Doyle if he would take all of
Meyer’s throws in case a Boston
player attempted to steal.
“Doyle, instead of reporting to
McGraw and getting an
other of the Giauits 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 a
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 what I
call downright nerve,” broke in an
other major league player. “You
fellows will recall that the Sox and 1
the Cubs worked their count to
three and three games. The game
on the morrow settled the cham- I
• pionship of the city’ and it was a
foregone conclusion that Ed Walsh
would pitch. It was almost as cer
tain that he would be opposed by
Jimmy Lavender.
''"Now, the dope favored the White
Sox. They had Walsh 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.
TIP O’NEILL DOESN’T
KNOW ABOUT ANY WAR
CHICAGO. Nov. 21.—Tip O'Neffl,
head of the Western league, today de
nied that his organization plans a waH
against the American association o»
any invasion of A. A. territory.
The report that tentative plans for
such action had been taken came fro®
Omaha.
“No such scheme has been talked oS
openly at least, arilong the magnates of
the Western league," said O’Neill
"Nothing of the kind has been discussed
at any of our meetings. I have no rea
son to believe that any session has beer
held without my knowledge.”
