Vandy Will Challenge Auburn to Play Off Tie
-t-*T
Atlanta, by Hustling, Might Get Game Staged Here
By Percy H. Whiting.
IF Auburn is keen to settle the
question of the football cham
pionship of the South, hopeless
ly tied Saturday afternoon in Bir
niinghaip, Vanderbilt will accom
modate them.
In fact, Vanderbilt nas virtually
challenged Auburn for a post
season game, to be played Sat
urday, December 7, in any city to
b" agreed on.
The suggestion is hereby made
that the game be played in Atlanta,
at Ponce DeLeon park.
• v *
OF course, there are coutuigen
cies and tilings of that sort.
Fringetauec: lut Auburn must
beat Georgia; <b> Vanderbilt must
beat Sewanee; <ei everybody con
cerned must be willing.
Now, this brings up ,-omo enter
taining points.
For one thing. Auburn isn't at
all certain to bent Georgia on
Thanksgiving day
"You say not
Yes, that’s just what we .aid.
Naturally, it will take a kick-up
of the dot ■ to make this come out.
For didn't Vanderbilt beat Georgia
46 to 0? And didn't Auburn later
tie Vanderbilt’.’
Answer to both: Yes, but
Two tilings will handicap Auburn
Saturday—staleness and overconfi
dence. In the first place, limy have
played their great game and will
go off edge. Nothing can stop them.
For another thing, they can’t help
looking on Saturday’s game as a
■inch —considering the dope and the
direction it seems to point.
Therefore, mark this prediction:
If the Georgia team plays up to its
topmost form Thursday, it will
come mighty close to beating Au
burn.
Dan MeGugin told me just after
the game Saturday: “Watch out
tj'.at Georgia doesn’t beat Auburn
Thanksgiving day. Everything Is
about worked up right for that to
happen.”
V -M
j > VT supposing Auburn does down
Georgia, and that Vanderbilt
does us much for Sewanee, which
it almost surely will, now that the
Commodo.es have been stirred up
by the happenings of Saturday,
.li<-ii what?
Just this; Vanderbilt will hurl at
Auburn the awfulest challenge that
■a- rung out over Dixie's gridirons
n a very long time—a challenge to
met nnd to battle foi the football
■hampionship u the South.
The answer7
Well, it nil) be up to Aubuxn.
Positive and Convincing Proof
Don’t Neglect That Cold in
the Head—Here Is a
Cure.
There ar. \eiy a y remedies on the
market that are claimed to euro ca
tarrh, but ask yourself this question,
How van a blood g-rn disease be cured
by a local treatment'.' It can not, never
was and never will la. You u.us't un
derstand that Catarrh affects the mu
cous membrane or the lining that coats
the whole inner system, tile same as the
skin coats the oute system. A gieut
man: people ai • of tiie opinion 1 .at
catarrh Is eimp y a disease of the head.
That is a Vert .sad mistake, it does
originate in the head, but that nasty
phlegm a. nd uiuei. tint you hawk and
suit out in he .ay time, you swallow
at night. tu food that you eat assimi
-1: tes with 'ba poison that causer the
'.ood to sour, a g is arises which causes
indig.-. tfeii, -y >p , "i: and heartburn.
The Alabama Polys may decide
that a tie for first place is as good
as they can expect, and may de
cline the challenge. Probably that's
Hie answer. But Auburn has dem
onstrated that it is calculated to
pull the unexpected. Tt may ac
cept.
If it doe.-, Atlanta will kick in
with a strong bid for the game. As
it will be in a better position than
Birmingham to bld for it. it is more
than likely to get it.

\ LOT of people have asked and
will a.-k: What the mischief
happened at Birmingham Saturday
Hint enabled Auburn to tie Vander
bilt In the ONE BIG BATTLE of
tlie year in Dixie?
Well, setting them down at ran
dom. here are the twenty real rea
sons’.
1. Fumbling by Vanuerbilt. By
actual measurement, A'anderbilt
gained ground three yards to Au
burn’s one. But when they got to
the goal line, somebody dropped the
pill. Sikes''fumble that Newell re
covered cost the game.
2. The break was Auburn's. Luck
cuts a figure. The few breaks were
mostly in Auburn’s favor, -in the
one critical play It was Auburn's
luck that Newell, the only man of
the Auburn team who could outrun
every man on the Vanderbilt team,
was able to recover tlie ball on the
deciding fumble. Tt was Vunder
bili’s ill luck that the only man near
Newell was "Buddy" Morgan, the
slowest man on the team. Luck
didn’t cut a lot of figure, but soium,
3. “Boneheaded” quarterbacks.
For the first time for years un
numbered, the Commodores have
had no man to call signals who
has the sort of brain to do it. They
mean well, but they call the wrong
plays. Saturday nardage was
sent in solely to execute forward
pusses. But instead they called on
him to run with the ball, and his
bum ankle made this style of play
futile.
4. Lack of condition on Vander
bilt’s purl. The Commodores look
ed all right and their appetites were
good—but thev were stale.
5. Overconfidence. Everybouy
said the Commodores would win
easily. They all thought it. You
know the answer.
6. Auburn’s superb condition,
mental and physical. The men were
keyed right up to a top notch.
They had mass meeting, every
night for a week io stir up enthu

CARL MORRIS is in for the
time of his young but ad
venturous life Thursday
night when he meets Jack Mcb’ar
land, the Mew York heavyweight, j
at tile Dixie club, if past perform
ances count for anything, and
there have been those who pinned
faith on past performances to no
slight degree.
Just consider the records of the
two men, and it will be readily seen
that if Morris wins Thursday lie
will be able to put it down as a
real day of Thanksgiving, which is |
more than the president of the
United States can do.
McFarland’s record shows—and
there is no buncombe about the
record—-that be defeated Gunboat
Smith, one of the toughest nuts
of New York, and Frank Moran,
who has a similar reputation in
Pittsburg and in England and
France.
But to line him up in juxtaposi
tion to Morris, consider this. Mc-
Farland beat Jim Savage. Jim
knocked out Tom Kennedy, and
Kennedy bested Jim Stewart, while
Stewart made a monkey out of
Morris.
Os Course, Morris may have im
proved. since that day. It is be
lieved in Atlanta tiiat he has, but
there Is no scintilla of sign that
.VlcFarland has gone back.
And the refreshing part of the go
is that both Morris and McFarland
are on the ground and will be here,
open to inspection, until the time
comes lor them to shuck their bath
robes and get busy.

Southern Football Schedules Are Badly Arrange
->«v
Thanksgiving the Day for Big Rivals to Clas
By (Joie Morgan.
SOUTHERN football schedules,
taken as a whole, are pretty
much a joke, because of the
haphazard way in which the ath
letic authorities of the universities
and colleges go about making them.
This is strikingly true in two par
ticulars. The schedules are not
made - with the idea of positively
determining the Southern cham
pionship anti with the idea of
bringing the season to a close on
Thanksgiving day with matches
that would prove the best drawing
cards. Os course, there are a few
exceptions to the latter point, but
they serve all the more forcibly to
emphasize the argument that there
should be a change, by showing
what could be accomplished if all
colleges acted with the same idea !
in view.
For years—ever since the South
has had intercollegiate football —
each college has gone about mak
ing its schedule independent of all
the others, and it has been pretty
much of a grab-bag proposition for
managers to get the games really
wanted. Where one date would be
acceptable to one team it would
not to the other, and both would
have to accept an unsuitable date
or let the match go by.
A Bad Arrangement.
Before one season is cold the
managers begin signing contracts
for the next one. Just about the
time the schedules are made up |
the Christinas holidays come
around. During holidays the South?
ern Intercollegiate Athletic, asso
ciation holds Its annual winter
meeting. At this every college
holding membership in the associa
tion is represented. Some school
prefers charges against another
and the offender is suspended. But
maybe several managers have made
next year's dates with the culprit.
That means every one of those
games must be cancelled and the
dates filled in with whatever there
is to be had. The schedules, con
sequently are unsatisfactory.
A striking example of tills was
two or three seasons ago when
Tennessee was suspended after its
three most successful seasons in
football history. Georgia, Tech,
Vanderbilt, Sewanee. Alabama and
others were affected then and had
to revise their next season's dates.
The real sensible thing to do
would be tor all colleges belonging
to the S. I. A. A. to put off their
schedule-making until the S. I. A.
A. holiday meeting and send their
managers and coaches along to it
with the faculty representatives. A
general schedule meeting could be
held by these officials in connection
with the S. I. A* A. gathering and
• all contracts could be arranged
personally between the representa
tives of the teams that were to
meet each other. It would save a
world of useless preliminary nego
tiations and confusion, and would
permit the making of schedules
that would settle the champion
ship.
Now. as to the Thtmksgiving
ghmes. Every team wains to make
is much ele; r money as possible
out of the Turkey Day exhibitions.
To do that they should arrange
games that would best draw the
crowds and match teams that
would not eat up the profits in
railroad fare for long jumps.
These games should be between
rival teams within a state. There
is nothing in tiie Tech-Clemson
game to draw 5,000 outside people
fiom over -he state to Atlanta. But
Georgia and Tech would bring
10,0"0 football fans here from ev
ery part of the state. A bare hand
ful of Tennesseeans go down to
, Birmingham to Tennessee and
j Alabama meet, but thousands
| would go there from all ovc-r Ala
ham: to see Alabama anl Auburn
in an annual battle. And like In
stances could be cited in other
states.
Get Rates on Turkey Day.
Every railroad grants holiday
rates for Thanksgiving day. Every
body everywhere has some sort of
holiday then. Railroads can grant
low rates from any point in Georgia
to Atlanta for Thanksgiving day of
their own volition. But rates ftoni
Alabama points to Athens for the
Georgia-Auburn game or from
South Carolina points to Atlanta
for the Tech-Clemson contest are
necessarily subject to approval by
the interstate commerce commis
sion. There’s the answer. It’s a
business proposition. Pit teams of
a state together and the intrastate
railroad rates will draw the holiday
crowds to the game. Interstate
rates, even though reduced, will not
draw, because of the greater dis
tance across two states. And it
takes time to travel, too.
This looks like a good line-up for
next year's Thanksgiving games in
the South:
GEORGIA.
/"' EURGIA and Tech in Atlanta.—
These are both state institu
tions and produce, the best foot
ball teams in Georgia. They prove
the best Atlanta drawing cards
throughout the football season.
Mercer and Columbia in Macon.—
These teams now meet every' sea
son at either Macon or Valdosta.
In time, if Emory should adopt
intercollegiate athletics, this would
be the logical college for Mercer to
take on, as thty are both denomina
tional schools, with recognized ri
valry existing.
ALABAMA.
a LABAMA and Aburn at Bir
minghatn.—These are state in
stitutions and are to Alabama what
Georgia and Tech are to Georgia.
Auburn would draw much better in
Birmingham on Thanksgiving day
than Tennessee now does in its an
nual game with Alabama.
Howard and Men’s Presbyterian
at Anniston.—These two colleges
should play a fair game.
Florence Normal and Birming
ham at Florence.—This game
should be on a par with the How
ard-Presbyterian match.
TENNESSEE.
57 ANDERVILT and Sewanee at
Nashville.—These old rivals
should continue to pull- their an
nual fray on Dudley' field. No bet
ter drawing card could be secured
for the Tennessee capital.
Tennessee and Chattanooga at
Knoxville or Chattanooga.—The in
ter-city rivalry is sufficient to make
this a good bill. Besides, Chatta
nooga has shown marked progress
in athletics the past two years. It
proposes to apply for admission into
the S. I. A. A. this winter.
Cumberland and Maryville at
Knoxville or Chattanooga.—Cum
berland was a recognized leader in
Southern sooth ill a few seasons
ago. while Maryville always has n
fairly good team. They could take
the city where Tennessee and
Chattanooga were not playing.
Southw stem Presbyterian and
Southwestern Baptist nt Clarkes
ville or Jackson.—Thesi two west
Tennessee colleges :ir< denomina
tional schools of considerable local
rivalry and s;tiould be evenly
matched.
Tennessee Medical and Peabody
Normal at Memphis.—These are
both state Institutions, the former
in Memphis and the latter in Nash
ville. They would give Memphis a
game and not conflict with Nash
ville’s Vanderbilt-Sewanee content.
MISSISSIPPI.
VTISSISSII’PI UNIVERSITY and
'** Misti: sit pi A. and M. at Jack
son. - These two state institutions
have been matched on Thanksgiv
ing day Tor y, .. ~ and Mould con
tinue to get i"ge‘hei cn Turkey
By (( Bud” Fishe

in their game.
Millsaps and Meridian Men’s Col
lege at Meridian. —These .seli‘«li
should turn out about the best ii
that state outside the “ole Jllss".
A. and- M. battle.
LOUISIANA.
J OUISIANA State .’in-.l Tmane a
New Orleans. —T ii r i. nothin!
in Ixiuisiana that could be a b‘t
ter drawing card than this match.
FLORIDA.
J* LORIDA and Stetson at Jack
sonville.—These arc the bes
colleges Florida has am. 1 Jackson
ville is the proper plaet to st-y
their bout.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
qOUTH CAROLINA
at Columbia. —These up-stat
Palmetto colleges ought to be abb
to produce evenly matched ebr
ens. They are elo. ■ enough to
gether to prove a dotibl . Im
card. I
Clemson and Citadel at Charles
ton. —Undoubtedly these are Sutt-
Carolina’s best football el»-v.: ■■
Clemson should make mote nionej
net. out of that game than ■(:
Tech.
NORTH CAROLINA.
NTORTH CAROLINA and I Livid
' son at Charlotte.—Here re W
more state institutions that tun
out good football teams. Tnej
would draw well in Charlotte.
Wake Forest and Trinity at Ka

evenly enough matched to put up £
really interesting game.
VIRGINIA.

* Lee at Richmond. —Historic am
traditional interest of Virginian:
naturally turns to these two insti
tutions. Their alumni represent tin
foremost men of that state. Ur
ginia might now be a little w<
strong for Washington and Lee, bill
if it was known that they were t<
be the annual football rivals, tb

draw some strong players to buW
