An-1 aft er that, nothing doing until the. baseball season opens. If the said Dope lands on bls pins Thursday It. will be about the first time this season. Anybody who can te*-i sure of picking the winners of the Valid* r blit-Sewanee, Georgia-Auburn ami Tech-Clemson football gat. * f couM feel sure of anything. If past performances are worth a hang the winners will be Vander bilt, Auburn and Tech. But we haven’t anj money to bet tee > in pick the three winners. Vanderbilt will probably beat Se wanee. The defeat of the Commo dore- ast Saturday (for defeat It was, if tht scores dtdn' show it), | will doubtless wakt them up. And on*- Vandy Is awake, it. .’ll handle she Tigers easily enough. Sewa ... neti will b- V'- io nicy a couple • hundred time-- o> tl* .' ball then t hej uncorked ,;i the st- t*- of Geor gia to make any inn cession on Vanderbilt. oil'* fact the I'uminuu**: ee must sac wilt not win ;*nj more gnueu for awhile on their “rep." Ti . ir very r*_- ord in tue past was a guut-gett* . Bui it didn't get Au burn’s, and now .he goat’s dead. Th* Commodores will hav* to beat Sewanee on the Tigers' merits, which are considerable. In that Athens game we find it hard to pick the winner. It ought to be Auburn by throe or four touchdowns. Tot. nobody believes it will be. and there will be small surprise If Georgia wins It. The answer to the ijuestion hinges on the matter of condition. If Geor gia Is absolutely right and if the men play as they ought to play they can beat the Auburn team. In the Atlanta game Tech should be the winner, but it ought to be close—and a spectacular game be sides. If the Jackets can overcome the Ilstlessness that naturally fol lows the Georgia-Tech game they will show Clemson more about football than they learned from any two teams tills season. *>«>»» J7‘IR several seasons Atlanta pa pers have urged that Georgia and Tech change their schedules so that their game be played here on Thanksgiving day, which is the logical time. Last year contracts were signed which made necessary the continu ation of tlie present wretched ar rangement fqr another three years. Well, It has worked out pretty well for Georgia. But how about Tech? More people will travel out of Atianta to Athens Thursday—if the day Is fine—than have left this city before for it sporting event in a long time. A thousand or more will go down by train if the weath er is fair and several hundred by automobile. Virtually every per son who goes to tHe game in Ath ens from Atlanta will be just one less at th*' Ponce DeLeon struggle. That is, every spectator attracted j to Athens Is the price of one ticket out of the Tech and Clemson pock ets. The best arrangement—the only logical and reasonable arrange ment—will be for Tech and Geor gia to meet in Atlanta on Thanks giving day and to charge enough for tickets to make It worth while. v * « 'pHE statistic about football deaths, will prove interesting this year. They will show that the deaths to college players this year number exactly one. The rest of the players killed, ten at last re port, were either prep school play ers or athletic club or corner lot players. Anybody can see‘the answer. Athletic club football should be frowned down. The papers should not support it, the football authori ties should hop on it whenever pos sible and it should be vigorously* fought. Football is no game for athletic c ub teams or for untrained teams. Among tin prep schools football should be conducted unde- most strict regulations. No boys should be allowed to play: 1. Who are under sixteen years. 2. Who are under 120 pounds tn weight. 3. Who have not been examined by a physician. 1. Who do not keep up in their studies. 5. Whose parents object to their taking part in the game. / More than that, no prep school team should play: (a). Any college team of any character. under any circum stances. (b). Any team which outweighs It as much as ten pounds to the man. Too many prep school teams are run as advertising adjuncts and not as a bone tide spurting and physi cal development nror.usitbm.

Smith wasted no time in an nouncing that Sitton, Johnson, Waldorf, McElveen and Wolfe must go. Fie has virtually found places foi'* all of them, though a couple of the deals are bung up as yet. Wolfe will probably go to the Connecticut Stale league. A deal is on to sl’.ip McElveen to Texas, but it hasn’t been actually closed et. Smith is finding exhibition games hard to sign. “Most of the big league clubs,” ttays Bill, “are coming down to their training quarterns this year to stay. They say there is no money in exhibition games, ami that they do not care to play them.” Howi*ver. Smith managed to land live games witlt the Boston Na tionals and will have two or three each with Toronto and Newark. He is also negotiating with Cincin nati for games March 29 and 30. Smith says that he will have th*' men report later than ever before —probably March 10, certainly no later, probably not much before. He may change his mind as to the exact date. "I’ll not bring so many players as usual," said Smith this morning. "Eight or nine pitchers, three catchers, six infielders, four out fielders and a utility man or two j will be the layout.” Smith is pleased with the team as it stands. But he is not yet stand ing pat. In fact, he is negotiating today for a big league pitcher and a big league infielder. PENSY MEN WAKE UP AND COACHES ARE CONFIDENT PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27. - The Uni- ’ versity of Pennsylvania is "lit as rid dle” for its battle with Cornell tomor row. and coaches, players and rooters are confident of victory because of the ' great showing the team has made in 1 the last few days of practice. Coach Smith announced the follow- i ing as the line-up he will send against the Ithacans: Young and Jourdet, ends: Dillon and ’ Wilson, tackles; Green and Naughton, guards: Simpson, center; Marshall quarterback; Harrington and Minds, halfbacks, and Captain Mercer, full back. Minds will do the punting. NEW CIRCUIT ARRANGED FOR VIRGINIA LEAGUE NORFOLK.

This was made certain as a, result of a conference between Griffin and Ritchie’s manager, Hilly Nolan, today. The boxer who delivers the knock down or knockout blow will wheel to ward his corner and remain there until his opponent is on his feet again. In case the battle is stopped by the police or sheriff. Griflin promises to make a verdict in favor of one man of the otHcr. From the time the men shake hands and the opening gong sounds the ref eree will not recognize any one outside the ring except the chief seconds of the | principals.

KcFarland Bout Will Make or Break “White Hope” Morris By Left Hook. lITHEN Carl Morris crawls I y V O'rough the ropes at the Dixie club Thursday night he will face a crisis. When he emerges from the ring on that oc casion he will bear the mark of fighter or he will bear the brand of bum. For on this fight depends his pu gilistic career. If he is knocked out or bested by Jack .McFarland, he will either have to desert the glove game or be classed as the rankest of corn beef and cabbage pugs. In many respects this will be his pugilistic debut. It’s true that Morris’ name has been frequently seen on the sport pages in more or less prominent type for two years. Since that eventful day, when Jim I Corbett declared that he had found a giant in Sapulpa, Okla., who would ultimately bring back the heavy weight honors to th< whitt race, Morris has been a national I character. Too Much Press Agenting. His career was halted by over press agenting. Morris was boomed to the skies. His friends could sea nothing but the world crown rest ing on his brow. He was first sent against an unknown bum. He won, but in no particularly impres sive fashion. Then he was matched against old Mike Schreck, who had degenerated into the worst of fourth raters. Os course, he won. Any high-class lightweight could. Then his overanxious friends, and maybe a money greedy man ager. hiked him to New York and matched him against the toughest of all the heavyweight trial horses. Jim Flynn, vho has troubled the best of ' u m. • ilii result i»> too weli known. Morris, big and game, wa» beaten into a pulp by the rugged and ex perienced Puebloan. He was then declared a joke. But he kept on plugging. Finally he was matched against Luther McCarthy and McCarthy made him know how a knockout punch feels. Is Starting All Over Again. Morris, though, possesses the qualities most necessary for a champion. He has the size, the strength and the heart. He decided to learn the science. Despite his defeats, he went back to Oklahoma and decided to start all over again. Up to the present time he has met only the most inferior of the heavies, men of the Jack Keating type, who were not in his class. But his manager has now decided that he is ripe enough to try bigger game. He matched him with Mc- Farland—big. young, chesty and withal a man who knows the game.

I I Xi —*'amp followers of the com modores flocked to Dudley field today and craned their necks to s<. just how many wounds their idols had. Not many have fully re covered from the dreadful slioek administered by Mike Donahue's team Saturday. The coaches had not a word to say, either over the result Satur day or the prospects for a victory over the Sewanee Tiger. To retain a leg on the Southern champion ship. the Commodores MUST win from Sewanee, To be nominal champion, Georgia will have to dis pose of Auburn. But that is hop ing for too much, although the sympathy* of all Vanderbilt is with Cunningham’s men. The spectacle of eleven big, strong men in tears is seldom wit nessed, but that is exactly what happened on the team's return from Rick wood park Every man want ed to shoulder the blame for the loss of the game, anti every man protested to McGugin that he would die in his tracks before the Se wanee Tige r should even so much as score. Vanderbilt Is up against a great big proposition, and while the team is in far be’ter shape than the coaches dared hope for, still they haven’t enough time to get into proper shape for such an antagonist as the Tiger. Sheldon, Parker and Gillespie are all husky and power ful backs, possessed of remarkable driving power, and it can not be denied that between these three sweeping gains will be made. There is no use trying to analyze Se [ wanee’s play with other teams, be cause they hardly' care whether • they win from any other team or not. It is a tradition of Sewanee that the thing they must hat*’ above all others is the Commodore. BROCK AND K, 0. BROWN GO 12 ROUNDS TO A DRAW CLEVELAND, OHIO, Nov. 27.—1 n a pretty* twelve-rot nd bout before the Tuxedo Athletic club here last night Phil Brock, of this city, and Knockout Brown, of New Vork, fought to a draw. While Brown had the better of the milling up to the final round, Brock produced a finish which gave him an even break, “HAL CHASE WILL NOT BE TRADED”-F. FARRELL NEW YORK, Nov. 27,—Frank Far rell, president of the New York Yan kees, today denied that Hal Chase, the star first sacker, Is to be sold or traded “He’ll stay with us," said the mag nate. said: "I can not take this medicine; it actually makes me sick at the stom ach.

E VERY spring, when the base, bail season opens, some city in every- league has a flag raising. The league pennant, won the season before, is flung to the breeze, and the fans hurrah. Why can’t Southern college* award a foc.’.ball pennant and havs a football pennant-raising on some gridiron each fall? Which is by’ way of again intro ducing the suggestion that South ern colleges, through the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, decide on some definite and thor oughly competent method of deter mining the Southern football cham pionship each season. Another Tie Results. This year there is a repetition of what has taken place a good many seasons in the past—two teams claiming the championship and each of them just as strong an argument for it as the other. Vanderbilt and Auburn have put it over lheir opponents this sea- I | son, and last Saturday Vanderbilt and Auburn tied. No individual or i organization has the authority to render a decision declaring either the real champion, though there are any number of self-constituted au thorities that will assume the task. The S. I. A. A. could lay down a few more rules and regulations governing intercollegiate football in the South that would make the championship a definite fact rather than a mooted question. Must Regulate Schedules. Regulation of schedules will help bring this about. Restrictions as to what teams S. I. A. A. elevens could meet also would apply. And such restrictions would tend to I strengthen the S. I. A. A. by bring ing in good colleges that now are ' out of the association, yet play as sociation teams. The football playing season— preliminary and regular—covers nine to ten playing dates between the latter part of September and , Thanksgiving day. Every team is j going reasonably strong by the sec- i ond Saturday in October. Includ ing that date, there are seven Sat- 1 urdays* and Thanksgiving day loft in the season. Every team that is on its mettle can stand eight good J games, after a preliminary or so. S. I. A. A. teams should be pro hibited from playing any teams 1” the South but S. I. A. A. ■ allege, during that eight-game period That wpuld prevent a team mak ing up a schedule of weak gam* for tlie first half of the season, to permit it to go into three or four - stiff games toward the last, in su perior condition, against teams that had been playing stiff ball all sea son and were handicapped accord ingly. Could Form Two Classes. It is an undisputed fact that . about half the S. I. A. A. colleges each season turn out first-class football elevens and the other half are second-raters. The S. I. A. A. could create two divisions: Class A and Class B, separating the as- ; sociation teams according to t .eir playing ability. During the eight game period it could require class A teams to play none other in the South but teams of its own class. This would ’ all on a reasonably equal bash Os course, this is not intended t prevent a team like Vanderbilt fro’ going out of the South to inee ' teams like Princeton, Harvard, Car lisle and Navy. It would be up to the S. 1- A A. to devise rules that would enabk the executive committee to d*'*’la’ e the championship, based on the s son’s records. KEYES MERE TARGET FOR HARRY TRENDALL ST.
