Vandy Coach Expects Auburn
To Give His Men Hardest Game
By Dr. Owsley Manier.
(Assistant Coach Vanderbilt Foot
ball Team.)
NASHVrma. TENN., Nov. 21.
Aaked to forecast the re
sult of the Auburn-Vander
krtit pm«, I can only say that 1 am
merely a foot bah coach auid not a
clairvoyant. The time keeper’s
whistle 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 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 and the forward pass for
mations both defensively and of
fensively «ill make this week’s
work all the harder, since we must
practically create an .nt,.« l\ new
set of plays.
We are looking forward to the
fiercest opposition the Vanderbilt
team has been up against tills 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
THE Atlanta Athletic club will
have a new goif course at
Eaat Dake. Work has already
been started on it. When it is
completed, moat of the present
eourae will be 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 "mashle holes.” The two
shortest are the first and the third,
and both of them are brisk midiron
shots for all except the longest
players. For another thing, the
second hal 'fof 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 front the
club house. This makes It impos
sible for anybody playing a short
round to get in nine real holes and
then get back home again without
a tremendous walk. The present
course also contains several holes
that are distinctly "bad” front 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 as good a chance to hole
out in four as the man who plays the
hole perfectly. Among these justly
despised drive-arid-pitch holes on
tlie present course arc the fifth,

DR. J. D. HUGHES, Specialist,
Opposite Third National Bank.
■6'/, North Broad St., Atlanta, Ga.
I 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 1 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 tile 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,
I am more at home, for the cripples
are tny 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
ills physician has told him that ne
must not play. There is absolute
ly no chance of Hardage going into
the game, for his ankle is in awful
shape and no earthly treatment will
get him into condition.
The loss of these two splendid
players will weaken our chances
more than 200 per cent. Rut we
will do our ievel best ami hope for
the long end of the score.
sixth, ninth (from the short tee),
eleventh, thirteenth and fourteenth
(from the regular tee). These w ill
all bo 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,
tlje hole will be a pitch from the
present tenth tee. The present
eighteenth hole will be the ninth
>f 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 club property—
tlie 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.dlstancc of the new course will
be about the same as the eld. and
the par will be 72.
The club forces are now busy lev
eling the ground for the first green.
They will work steadily at the con
struction of the course throughout
the winter and until it is complet
ed. Os course, this will in no way
interfere with the* present course.
The scheme of rearrangement has
been discussed with hundreds of
golfing experts. Including the great
est of professional course sharps,
H. H. Barker, and the greatest of
amateur experts, Walter .1. Travis,
and the greatest of Southern ama
teur experts. George W. Adair. All
agreed on the present changes and
that the course would be materially
improved thereby. When complet
ed. it will be in the class witn the
Garden City, Wheaton, the Nation
al course, Country Club of Brook
line and the other really great
courses of America,

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-pile bluff.
rite 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 tlie acene. They are
parading a hospital list as long as
the registration roll, they are prac
ticing long hours in secret and they’
will not admit that a man on the
team is in really good condition.
The other side of it is this: Tlie
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
eason ends. And as tor the hos
pital list —well, barring Morgan,
who seems to have a bit of fever,
and Ilardagc, whose ankle hasn’t
recovered from the wrench it re
ceived in the Harvard game, they
all get in practice and work mighty
hard. So It leaves a man in doubt.
* • *
r yHi.lN 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 tills game is any cinch. I
shouldn't be surprised It Auburn
bent. 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 al! 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 play football
t'iat is football, and don't anybody
doubt that.
The game Saturday in Birming
ham will make football history.
Also, it will make the blood tingle,
or we miss our guess.

1 ONEAI’, of the Wisconsin foot-
J 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 night*.
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.

entirely shifted around for the

A squad of twenty cops has been

ful.
If such a cup were offered for
the best player in Georgia there
wouldn’t be much doubt about the
one-two ranking. McWhorter and

VETERANSOF CLEMSON
TO FACE TEOH 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 has given evi
dence of remarkable ability, only to
fall down Hat 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
uponjthe Georgia game as the clas
sic happening. Tech is going to be
a little over-confident.
Another, thing that is going to
make tills 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 —14—and a
couple of hundred of the lusty
hinged 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 Cummins 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
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
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 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;
Turbeville, right guard. 190: Britt
(captain), right tackle. 170; Caugh
man, right end, 140; Coles, quar-
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 are
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 are
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. ,

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 durlqg 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 fellows 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
before the Monday’ on which
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 would
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.
There was no chance of pulling
back the money and it *rode.’
O’Brien was hammered to a fare
you-well, in addition to making a
balk. The money was lost and the
two Wood brothers naturally were
sore. The fellows I 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 I
Doyle. Dole was captain of the
Giants, It will be remembered,
Doyle Keeps Quiet.
’Tn 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 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 to
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- B
pionship game the Giants had a ■
man at short who was ao nervous B
that, he couldn’t take a throw and ■
who knew he was that bod.” 8
Lavender Shows Nerve, I
"And here’s the story of what I B
call downright nerve,” broke h s an- B
other major league player. "You B
fellows will recall that the Sox and B
the Cubs worked their count to B
three and three games. The game B
on the morrow settled the chain-. B

“Now, the dope favored the White 8
