WOMAN 1 ' — EPITLP Zy S TARNS’WOHTH "" _ _ Smith Will Go to National League Meeting in Search of I Few More Men for Crackers > -- ~ ; By Percy 11. Whiting. r-|->HE Atlanta Baseball associi- I tion will have to split up its talent in December, for twr important meetings occur so near together as to conflict. Those two are the National league session in New’ York and the Southern league meeting in Little Rock. Bill Smith will take in the Na tional league session. He has an idea he can connect up with a player or two there, and even if he doesn't, a trip there will put him in touch wit It the National league managers, which is something that he wants. This will mean, no doubt, that President Frank Callaway, and perhaps one or two of the direc tors. will make the long hike over to Little Rock for the Southern league session, which begins De cember 15. » « . nOUTHPAW ZELLERS, formerly a star at Macon and last year considerable of a portside flinger in the local city league, lias been promised a try-out with the Crack ers next spring. Zellers visited baseball headquar ters yesterday, talked things over with Manager Smith and will turn out early and get In shapi . Director Charles Nunnally, of the baseball association, is a strong booster for Zellers and believes he will make good. • * * A <ACON will probably rve ns the Atlanta team's farm next sea son. Os course, players sent down there will go under a “gentleman’s agreement” that they will be re turned if desired. Also no players will be sent there except bush leaguers, for there is a. league rule against more than a limited num ber of players from leagues of low - er classification. But any good, green kids that Atlanta has and that Macon needs will go to Ma con. Bill Smith lifts always had a warm spot in his heart for the burg ever since he managed there, and is especially keen for it be cause his great friend, the former business manager of the Atlanta club, Newt Ethridge, is connected with it. * ♦ • r» ILL SMITH has closed with the Montreal club for games in Atlanta April 3, 4 and 5. “I guess I'm lucky to get them," FOLDER F()R FANS Somebody hi New 't Heged that an ill wind is blowii g i National league now, that Charley is K’anding in the draught and that he’s Ml * ly to catch something besides a cold. * « ■» The only thing that looks bad for the J-.ill Players union is the fact that the • ‘uh owners are not opposing it. ■ » • Christy Mathewson is bad in New York, after a hunting Tip in South Caro lina. « e « Sid Mercer says that Mathews,,n expects t.. take a vacation next summer and will spend it outdoors.

JHE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. .. - ■ ■ ■■ ■ I was Smith's comment. “The teams that are going to train in the South are certainly not keen about play ing exhibition games." Smith, by the way’, has always been i strong booster for exhibition games. He believes there is no bet ter way of getting players in condi tion. If he had his way—and he lifts, sometimes—-he would have a steady stream of exhibitions from March I until the Southern league season opened. w * • tv ILL SMITH believes that Harry ■*-' Welchonce may’ be the man who is destined to complete Clark Griffith's machine and to make it a pennant winner in the American league next year. "If Dent and Welchonce make real good, ’ said Bill yesterday, “f don't see how they are going to keep t'lark Griffith out of that pen nant. “Griffith told me that he was afraid that Welchonce wasn’t enough of a fielder to make good— that he had always been able to hit in the big leagues, but that his fielding was weak. I told him,” continued Smith, “that the dope had changed. I consider him a great fielder and his record shows he was a great batter. I think he may be just the man Griffi needs. "The Washington team will be awfully good next year. They have two of the greatest catchers in the world in Eddie Ainsmith. and John Henry. Eddie was In bad shape toward the end of last season, and the club has sent him to Texas to get in trim. The reports from there ar" that he is improving and putting on weight fast. You know what Walter Johnson is, and I want to tell you that Bob Groom is SOME PITCHER. I consider him one of the best in baseball. Gandlll has everything, and the rest of the infield is good. If they get Welchonce going good in right field, I believe the team is a pennant winner. "If the Washington team ever gets in a world’s series,” concluded Bill, “they'll win easy.

R. Murdock. I (Sporting Editor of Hearst’s Bos ton American.) Boston, mass., Nov. so.—- While “Boots” Brickley is naturally head-lined as the Harvard hero of 1912, and Bob Stor er and Sam Felton crowd him for the top of column honor, It has almost been overlooked that the Yale game produced the most ver satile man in football, and that Huntington R. Hardwick, the light ning left halfback of the Crimson team, Is the fellow whereof we speak. In the Imaginary All-American elevens which will be devised by the “experts” of the country. Hardwick will likely be overlooked by many. But if the writer had a football team all his own, he would rather have Hardwick working therein than any other man in foot ball outside of the Harvard team — and this goes for Jim Thorpe or any other star of the game. The truth, evident to all who watched the New Haven pastime closely, is brought out very clear ly by Coach Percy D. Haughton, the Harvard football master, in his own review of the Crimson tri umph. This shows how Hardwick participated in the system scoring of 17 of the 20 points. What Hardwick Did. According to Haughton, who de vised the Harvard system of of fense and defense and who worked out for Harvard the Yale game the ory, this is what Hardwick did: He became the eighth and most important man on the scrimmage line in the Harvard attack. This eight-man line was Harvard's most successful progressive device. He acted as left end when Fel ton was drawn back to punt. He was called upon frequently to run with the ball from behind the line, principally for end runs. He was frequently on the-line of scrimmage as the principal inter- HEISMAN’S ALLSOUTHERN ELEVEN Continued From Preceding Page. a good line, Cook would look as good :s most any of them. He is a shade light, but can stand all sorts of punish ment. A great player! Taylor is a magnificent runner with the abll and a splendid drop kicker. His tackling and Interference are too weak to let him get on our teatn. I’olger good around the ends and in slashing through quick openings. He is tall and fast and has a wonderful eye for judging forward passes. In pulling these down he is without a peer in the South today. In other depart ments he needs work and experience. Haxton is a real good halfback, al beit a trifle clumsy. There is no doubt of his ability to gain ground against most any team down here. Still he lacks the necessary brilliancy for this berth. Now for Hardage. No one. 1 pre sume, will deny my right to set him down as the one best bet of the year. So I set him down. This chap is one sure enough half back. For that matter, he was so the very first year he ever played college football. And this is his fourth on a varsity team. With each passing year he has become fleeter of foot and stronger of muscle, to say nothing of I the steady acquisition of football I knowledge. He is as shifty on his feet ; as a squirrel, yet runs with a power ' that breaks the hold of a would-be tac. i kier at least half the time. His defen i sive ability is quite satisfactory, and i added to this ho in one of the best for ward passers of the year. He is strict ly In a class with the best halves the South has produced. I would put him at rear guard on our defense. Wouldn't , he bring back the punts? Newell Lacks Only Weight. Os the remaining four. Newell is the weakest. This is mainly because he 'only weighs 146 pounds.

Altogether, he would be a valuable addition to any team In the country, and in another year he should attain premier honors in the Smith. He is up against exceptionally good men in this comparison, but there is no discounting the general splendor of his game. I count him out. This natTows the field to McWhorter, and him I choose again for right half back. This decision will, I fancy, not give entire satisfaction.

When Yale kicked he, with Gard ner, was depended upon to catch punts and run them back. He itas chosen to make flic puntouts from behind the line. lie was called upon to kick the goals after touchdowns. How He Did It. This is what Haughton says of His success: “Although a strong line plunger and capable of running the ends, Hardwick was doing more than his share by acting as an end. while Felton was kicking. I doubt if more duties were ever placed on one player than were assigned to Hardwick. "It surely takes a versatile ath lete to do so many different jobs, and I am confident no other man could have done them all up >to the hilt as did Hardwick.” Haughton declares that the Har vard attack was naturally built up about he kicking of Felton and. Brickley. but. after the Princeton game, when it was discovered that Harvard might reasonably hope to realize its long-standing ambition to crash though Yale got a touch down. a scheme of line-rushing was evolved and Hardwick’s versatil ity caused him to be chosen as the central factor in that only inno vation employed. This Innovation was the eight man scrimmage line. This is what Haughton said of that plan: "By this simple operation the of fensive line of scrimmage was suf ficiently lengthened to accomplish one of two results “If the opposing tackle went out to meet the flanking movement It meant that the defensive line was so much weakened. If. on the other hand, this tackle neglected to observe the flanking man. he was subject to an attack had been below par, he could not be given the position; but such has not been the case. Against Alabama, Se wanee, Tech and Auburn he played his old-time game; and as he is now stronger, knows more football and tac kles better than ever, I think, on the whole, that he is deserving of thr> place. I frankly admit, though, that had Fletcher not been ruled out 1 would have »i'li-eted him for quarter and prob ably hate placed Sik'-s at half along- I side of Hardage, with Tolley second choice at quarter. By Way of Acknowledgment. ALL tin players thus far consider. are above the average in playing ability, and are, 1 consider, the cream of the talent. There is not one of them but deserves more enconiums and stronger commendation than I have had room or time for.

Harvard bail two men of exceptional ability in t'ap . tain Wendell and Brickley, and it was. therefore, decided that these two men were capable of carrying the brunt of our direct attack.” Result of Hardwick's Play. That the use of Hardwick in the manner stated was successful is shown by these incidents of the game, all of which figured in the re sult : First. When Flynn kicked 60 yards from behind his own goal near the beginning of the first pe riod —one of the longest punts ever made against Harvard —forcing Gardner to fumble, there occurred Hardwick's first remarkable play. Haughton describes it as follows: "The ball was loose and Bomeis ler was just about to pick it up with a clear field ahead of him. At that moment Hardwick made one of the cleverest plays I have ever seen. Instead of trying for the ball himself, he went after Bomeis ler and, by a perfect piece of block ing, knocked him off bis feet, which enabled Brickley to recover the hall. If Yale had scored on this play, it would have seriously affect ed th© morale of the Harvard team.” Second. When Hardwick ran down the field under a Felton punt, bumped Wheeler and the lat ter fumbled. On this play Storer recovered the ball for the first , touchdown. Third. When Flynn muffed a Felton punt on Yale's 17-yard line in the third period. This was where the eight-man play accom plished the only touchdown which was made without the aid of a Yale j misplay. Haughton described this most graphically. He said: "The third quarter had hardly begun when Flynn fell a victim to one of Felton's punts, and it was Harvard’s ball on Yale's 18-yard line. On the next play occurred one of the most perfect offensive moves I have ev< r witnessed. Gard ner ordered Hardwick on the right end of Harvard’s line, giving the eight men on the line formation, which I have previously described. The Yale left tackle either failed to observe Hardwick on his flank or else anticipated a rush through the line, for he failed to assume his proper position. "Gardner was quick to recogniz his mistake and ordered what Is commonly known ns 'a skin tackle play.’ Brickley was given the ball, and with Wendell as Ms only in terferes started toward Yale's left < nd. “Wendell took out the end com pletley. Hardwick boxed the tac kle as completley and Brickley then proceeded to run around Yale’s en tire back field, who, I assume, had also anticipated a line plunge. This scored a touchdown.” Fourth. After Brickley had inter cepted Pumpelly’s forward pass in the third period and had run 42 yards, it was Hardwick who ran around Yale's left end and took Gardner's sudden forward pass, placing the ball on Yale's eight yard line, where Brickley kicked I his second goal from field. Fifth. After Brickley scored his touchdown, Hardwick punted out so successfully that he was able to kick a goal himself as neatly as he did after Storer's touchdown.
