Heisman. r T’X HE only mill down on the I Southern slate for tomorrow is the one between Auburn and the Commodores. This game will not only decide the championship of the South, but probably also it will settle which t"atn shall rani; Second, for it is likely that Auburn will defeat Georgia on Thanksgiving day, and more likely still that Vanderbilt will do the same thing for Se wanee. A comparison of the weights of the two teams shows a slight edge in favor of Vanderbilt. Team ex perience indicates a stand-off, though perhaps Auburn has a shade the better of the figures here. Speed in the back field must go to Van derbilt's side of the ledger. The prestige of past performances, both this year and in previous years, is clearly with the Commodores, while the matter of physical condition points toward Auburn. The play ing grounds are neutral. A consideration of the foregoing facts does not clearly point out a winner; so we must go further. Vanderbilt’s running game is con siderably ahead of Auburn's, but the Commodores are almost as tar behind the Alabamians when it comes to the bucking game. It seems certain to my mind that the Vanderbilt backs are going to make* Hiibstantial gains around Au burn's ends, for they did it even against Harvard. Is it equally certain that Auburn Is going to make headway through Vanderbilt's line? No; not equally certain—despite the tremendous driving power of the Auburn back field. Why not? Because Vanderbilt's line is heavy enough and its charging and tackling good enough very nearly to match it. Excellent as is Au burn’s drive and power, it must not be lost sight of that they only scored once on Mississippi A. & M.. and that was by a long end ran by Newell. Against L. S. V. they fared no better, making only one touch down. and that not by bucking, but because the left end carried the ball for a rather long run. Was Donahue Possuming? The question arises, therefore, may not Donahue be holding his light under a bushel'.’ Might they not have scored <nor< had they chosen so t<> do? Yes; that is quite possible, for Donahue has been playing tl>< patient, waiting game the whole season In anticipation of this game. Auburn is not likely to show many new and effective plans; but it Is fairly possible that they could have scores more points with, the plays they used had they seen fit to do so. When it comes to punting. Au burn. with Majors to propel the pigskin, has all the better of it over Vanderbilt; while tin- latter is un doubti dy Auburn’s superior when it comes to i’orwa d pissing. It must not be overlooked, however, that Vanderbilt is considerably bet ter fortified than tuburn in the matter of goal kicking from the field; and such a play In such a game is likely to b. the deciding factor, a» It has been in many an other game this seas, u Here's Vandy's Edge. The departments of play thus far considered show, 1 should say. a very slight margin in favor of the Commodores, but hardly enough on which to base a sure prognostica tion in their favor. Now how. ver, we Come to the last item needing consider; 1 tion, and here the disp >r- Ity between the tea.ue has been q. - cldedly marked—»o much so th .’ I am inclined to think tnat the rsu'.t of the game will turn upon this very point. I refer to the tackling I will not mince matters. In Au burn'-. game in Atlanta the p’ay * s tackled wi vtchi dly, and my un derstanding Is P at they have been W-- d; in th I, son. It is true, sufficient time has elapsed since then for the Aubum ites to have overcome this fault, and perhaps they have done so. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, has been a fine tackling team the whole season. Their defense has been irrepressibly fierce and eager, and even against Harvard they plunged in so valiantly that they met with severe penalties. In the end, this ambition will count heavi ly. despite the probable infliction of penalties; and I think It reason able to suppose that this same abil ity to "pile in" is going to turn the tide in Vanderbilt’s favor. But just one more point. The great Hardage Is i.ot in the best of shape. And don't you know that Auburn is going to hit him like a ten-ton truck every time they can get near enough to do it? They can not have forgotten that Hard age was once theirs, and that he has. so to speak, gone over to the enemy. Y’es; they will surely have the smash against this Individual whether they have It against the whole Vanderbilt team or not. By this 1 do not mean at all that they are going to attempt any thing in tile least unsportsmanlike with Hardage. I am perfectly con fident they are not. But, wholly within the bounds of legitimate football roughness, they are going to do their best to impress the Vanderbilt captain with certain odd moments of the game which he will be apt to remember till Monday morning, anyway. Remember, though, that Vander bilt still played grand ball all the way through against Harvard, even thougli their captain had to leave that game in the second quarter. The verdict? Vanderbilt, I think, by one touch down surely, and probably by two: perhaps by three. No score for Auburn. Don't forget the tiny Tech team made 19 first downs on Auburn, rushed the ball 373 yards, and pushed it over for the only touchdown that has been scored against Auburn this year. If Tech could do it once, Vanderbilt can do it twice or oftener. TH REE-RING SHOW AT ” ATHENSON THURSDAY ATHENS.

NOVEMBER 22. 1912. The Tech-Georgia game is over. The preponderance of weight did the trick, as I said it would do. But tlie Geoigia team played much the best game it has played this sea son. Just a point or two: Tech had scored a clear touch down when the Jacket runner dropped the ball across Georgia’s goal line. He did not drop it be cause he was fiercely tackled, or anything of that sort. Not a Geor gia man was even touching him. It was just greenness. That’s been the way with the team all this year—nervy, but nervous. Tech had W'orked it up there and over, not by any fluke or r>y one single, long, break-out run, but by steady driving, play after play, from their own reception of the kick-off. Tech’s 1 play was worth tfiat touch down. It Is also a pity that a Tech man was off-side when Georgia made a last try at a touchdown in the sec ond quarter. His being off-side af fected the particular play not In the slightest, for McWhorter was pulled down by another Tech player from behind his interference, so that it would have cut no figure whatever whether the off-side man crumpled this interference or not. In cases where the particular foul plays no part in the play as It transpired it is no longer customary for officials to call it (excepting unsportsmanly play), and it would, in the particu lar case in hand, have served the ends of equity better not to have called it. although the official was undoubtedly within his rights in doing so. But on the strict merits of the playing at that time Georgia should not have scored just then. In other words the score of the game does not at all fairly express or represent the game that Tech put up. Instead of three touch downs to none it should have been two to one in favor of Georgia: for that is really the kind of game the public witnessed. Georgia is coining strong now and Auburn will have to watch out on Turkey day; the Athenians are at last using their talent, and using it well. game ever played on the local grid iron. and will draw thousands of spectators to the ( lassie City. In addition to the Georgia-Auburn game in the afternoon, the title for the state championship in prep ranks will be decided in the fore noon. when the Georgia Military college, of Milledgeville, meets Riverside, from Gainesville. Both of these teams are couched by Georgia men, and neither has been defeated Illis year.

ENGLISH-MOTTO SCRAP MW ENO WITH 110.’ YOUNG MOTTO and Clarence English hook up tonight at the Dixie Athletic club in a ten-round bout. At least that is the way the advance notices read. But both of the young mixers claim that the affair will end long before the tenth spasm. As both are good husky gents, with a kick, it is not unlikely that one or the other will take the count. Motto has been showing up sur prisingly well in his work-outs and he will have a big following at the ringside tonight. English has al ways given satisfaction here, his fight with Jimmy Perry last spring being the best bout ever staged in Atlanta. The semi-windup between Frank Baker and George Lavelle should be a bear. These two boys fought six rounds to a draw the other night and it was a pippin affair, too. Tonight they are scheduled to go eight rounds. The extra pair of sessions should be enough to de cide which is the better man. Mike Saul and Clarence Collins meet in a six-round bout. And there will also be a battle royal. YALE PLANS TO USE SUBS AT START; SAVE REGULARS FOR LAST NEW HAVEN, CONN., Nov. 22.—With both teams on edge and both eager for the battle, only light signal drill was scheduled for the Yale and Harvard squads today, in preparation for their annual gridiron clash, which takes place on Yale field tomorrow. The Harvard eleven, which is now quar tered here. Is brimming with confidence. Odds of 10 to 6, and in some cases 10 to 5, are being offered. Coaches are well pleased with the work of the team, and with Britkley’s toe in excellent shape they look for victory. On the Yale campus, confidence is not so pronounced. The team has shown great improvement during the week, the work of the linesmen has been perfected and a number of trick plays have been mastered. Yale coaches have announced their in tention of using the subs freely, figuring that this will give the regulars a chance to rest up for the final quarter. COBB BACK FROM TRIP DOWN SAVANNAH RIVER AUGUSTA, GA., Nov. 22.—Ty Cobb and a party of friends returned today from a trip down the Savannah river, where they have been hunting for sev eral days. The baseball star says that the game in the Savannah swamps is . not as plentiful as it was last year, although Tyrus and party bagged a large number of squirrels and ducks. Ty is having an easy time and en joying life. He is not worrying about coming to teims with President Navin, for should Ty decide not to play ball any more he will be in fine condition for the remainder of his life, so far as this world's goods are concerned. Ty is probably worth SIOO,OOO, and Mrs Cobb's father is worth nearly $1,000,000. ROURKE OF OMAHA NOT IN FAVOR OF OUTLAWS OMAHA, NEBB .

Betting Is That Vandy Wins By Two Touchdowns 4 , »4 1 ❖••s’ •W+ Commodores May Be Ripe For a Trimming Now By Percy 11. Whiting. THE betting on the Vanderbilt- Auburn game here in Atlan ta seems to be that Vander bilt will (or will not, depending on which end you take) beat Auburn by two touchdowns. And it’s brisk. Apparently It is all a question of how many of Vanderbilt’s men are out of the game because of injuries and what sort of condition those who do play are In. TT will be recalled that the only time Vanderbilt ever lost a game to a Southern team conditions had framed themselves much like this. The Commodores had made their season for a big game in mid season (with Michigan, if our memory serves). Several of the men were injured in this game and most of the rest went stale. Then when the game with Sewanee came the Commodores didn’t have the punch. A good deal the same thing has happened now. The Commodores tried to get fit for the Harvard game. They didn’t work it, how ever. But at that they got In the best condition of the season. In the Harvard game several of the men were injured and the brightest star of them all, Hardage, was so badly hurt he may not be himself again this season. Since then sev- French Boxing Authorities to Give Billy Papke Diamond Belt By Ed. W. Smith. HE French boxing authorities | are about to present Billy Papke, of Kewanee, 111., with a gold and diamond belt, suitably inscribed with the words “Cham pion of the World." Wouldn't that be enough to send the other Amer ican flghte-s off Into a towering rage? We think it will and we imagine further that there will be many a strong letter of protest sent out from this side of the Atlantic as to what right, etc., etc., etc. But, believe us, Papke and his manager, Al Lippe, are making the most of a nice situation in Paris and are frying the fat out of the occasion and doing a neat job of it. Other countries may storm and rage and say that the French, who never had a world's champion fighter and w ho have been in the boxing game but a matter of a few' months, have no right to do this, the fact re mains that It Is to be done. Papke Beats Champions, Papke knocked out Jim Sullivan, the champion of England, a short time ago, and followed this up by knocking out the French idol, Georges Carpentier, or making him quit, which is about the same thing. That was enough for the French, and th* belt is now in the hands of a jeweler and will be finished early next month for presentation to William when he boxes the next time in France. This news goes to show that we were misled by the reports from the other side to the effect that Papke was extremely unpopular over there and might be ruled out alto gether. Evidently the French are not as unfair as that Klaus Declines Match, Incidentaly, Frank Klaus is not going to box Papke next month In Paris. That news Is contained in a letter from l.ippe. who. after tell ing us all about the big belt, goes on to say: ".More tough luck for us. Klaus has refused point-blank to tight Papke here. Everything was all rig -.t until y. sterdaf, when it was ... < forfeit. Neither eral men seem to have gone stale. And the consequence is Vander bilt faces a hard game with a strong team in no good condition for the test. Unless Vanderbilt utterly out classes Auburn—which nobody' really believes—the game should be close. It wouldn’t be utterly flab bergasting if Auburn got away with it. The truth is that, though the Commodores have lost but one game in the South under McGu gln’s coaching, they have had some close calls. In another game it took a miracle in the shape of a forward pass of gigantic propor tions to get the Commodores through alive. They CAN lose. Maybe this Isn’t the time, but, of course, their number will eventual ly be taken. Possibly Saturday Is the eventful occasion. « • • ItP here we get in the way of V thinking that Vanderbilt, Au burn, Georgia Tech, Sewanee, Clemson, Alabama and the two Mississippls are about the only col leges in the S. I. A. A. But they aren’t. Not quite. Witness this from Kenneth Todd, formerly of Macon, but now of Houston, a sport writer of just renown: “Here is a tip worth something, perhaps, in summing up later on. “Texas A. & M., located at Col lege Station, Texas, is a member of Klaus nor Engle, his manager, showed up and didn't even send an apology. They were offered $3,500 for a losing and $5,000 for a win ning fight, exceptionally good terms over here. The papers here are roasting Klaus terribly, and he may yet be shamed into the bout. But I know he doesn’t want it. Big Bouts in Sight. "In the meantime they have given Papke a match with Dennis Ber nard. the French boy who lately defeated George Gunther, the American colored middleweight, over here. The bout Is set for De cember 20 and surely will draw well. They are trying to get some body for Bill for January and Feb ruary dates. Moreau and Carpen tier box January 15 for the French title and Papke will get the win ner in February at Monte Carlo. The lesser fights net us $4,000 los ing and $5,000 winning, but the Monte Carlo match will double those figures, I’m sure "Papke boxes in Paris December *4, so I had to cancel a lot of Eng lish music hall time at $650 a week. But we will get eight weeks of it at least iater on. Wants to Box McGoorty. "What’s the matter with Eddie McGoorty coming over here to box Bill? He could get more money here than he could in America, and the trip surely would pay him well. They are talking about making Mike Gibbons an offer, but are waiting to see how he comes out with Eddie. 'We would like to catch .Mc- Goorty foi a side wager, as we feel confident of trimming him." NEAR-BREAK OF NECK DOES NOT PROVE FATAL ALMA, MICH., Nov, 22.—Instead of having sustained a broken neck in last Saturday s football game, as was re ported, Captain Johnson, of the Alma col lege eleven, escaped with a few bruised ligaments.

Unfortunately, Texas A. & M. does not meet Auburn this fall; neither does Texas varsity. "Texas A. & M. defeated Hugo Bezdek’s Arkansas eleven, 27 to 0. in Dallas.

November 15—Auburn in At lanta. November 22—Sewanee In Ath ens. November 27—Tech in Atlanta (Thanksgiving day). REASONS. I ech and Georgia would play the same teams, thereby- giving an opportunity accurately to measure their respective points of supe riority. Each teain would play an equal number of games before meeting each other. ..They would be pitted against the five best teams »in the South— vanderbilt, Sewanee, Auburn, Alabama and Clemson. Atlanta fans would get to see six stellar games, besides one of lesser Importance. Tech would have five of its ten games in Atlanta. Georgia would have three of its ten in Atlanta and three in Ath ens. Atlanta fans would see six teams, besides Tech and Georgia, m action here, but no team would appear here more than once, ex cept Tech and Georgia. Atlanta Is the best paying foot ■’a*l city in the South ami is er titled to see the best games that J ech and Georgia play. There is no conflict of dates be tween the Tech ami Georgia schedules, and after the Tennes see. Chattanooga and Mercer con tests, there would be intervals of two weeks or more (except with the Carolina games) between the dates Tech and Georgia would meet any- one of the outside teams. Most Important of all—Tech and Georgia would play In Atlanta on thanksgiving day and bring their 5> e , ason to a ’’Umax with the ONE big event of the Atlanta football season. XIZ'IILE all the shouting Is at its height over the Vandy-Au burn and the Georgia-Auburn games, don’t let's forget that the Tech-Cletnson game will be about as interesting a struggle as the sea son has furnished. It will be the meeting of two light teams, but teams that are uncanny fast. Be yond any doubt, Tech and Clem son are the shiftiest, trickiest teams of the Eouthland. ’I" V v ' ;l ‘ play rare ball on Tlianl.sgAinf (bl .
