Vandy Unquestioned Champion, Declares Heisman

Georgia and Auburn Are Ranked Next by Expert
cpfWITH is the ranking of
14 Southern football teams of 1912,
1 1 written for The Georgian by
lfthn W. Heisman, most famous foot
fl expert in the South and coach of
X Tech team. Mr. Heisman saw prac
ically every Southern team in action

3 pe rsonal study. .

„ previous matches do well enough
times, and then again they go
ni.ii-lt astray. The latter is often the
when the game under considera

(,)i. or both contestants.
If nothing in particular is at stake
i„ given match, the teams will gen

o-be-< xpected improvements,
Bul if one team gets particularly anx
ii.n. to win a certain game, and the
min i team happens to regard the game
r'.iher lightly, there is almost bound to
follow a surprise party—in other words,
a grand upsetting of the dope.
Old 0. Confidence
Plays Big Part.
Mental condition may not merely in
clude such states of mind as keen
ness of desire to win or comparative
indifference over the outcome, but
over-confidence and under-confidence
as veil The last of these is heard lit
tle of, but often plays its past in games
of football. If a team goes on a field
feeling that it is going to be mauled
all over the greensward, that very thing
is most apt to happen. It is not well
to have one’s team too badly scared.
But good old reliable O. Confidence
is the "halo fellow" to bump into often
est in a survey of who’s who in a foot
ball season. He gives you the hearty
slap on the back, tells you how well
you are looking and feeling, shakes
your hand vigorously with one hand,
while in the other behind him he holds
his kerchief, saturated with a narcotic
more deadly than chloroform. Yes,
he's the boy that puts football teams to
sleep, all right.
Well, that chap and Mr. Keen-To-
Win are some rivals, and it all depends
on which team they get hold of how
the game is coming out in a majority
of cases. Sometimes the one gets hold
of both teams, as when Georgia and
Tech come together. Then young K. T.
W. is the only one to get a pleasant
word from both camps—and a battle
royal always results.
But the old mesmerizer, O. C., got a
strangle hold on a couple of the teams
for a short spasm each this fall, and
what he did to the dope is a story pain
ful to dwell upon. k
Vandy Team
Real Champs.
I have had no trouble in ranking
1 anderbilt first. Right after their game
with Auburn that would, of course,
have been impossible. That game
, ended in a tie, and as each had won all
, their previous Southern games, there
would have been no way but to have
declared the race a dead heat, had the
reason ended there. Some have asked
me if I did not think Vanderbilt the
better team. Certainly I do—day in
and day out, under usual conditions,
eh'., etc. But on the particular day
they happened to meet. Vanderbilt did
not show herself able to score more
points than Auburn: and it’s points

measure them, but by what they do do.
Now, what does the record show? It
shows that Vanderbilt won all her
kames but one, and that one was a tie;
her percentage was 1.000, for tie games
don’t count in any sport. The record
also shows that Georgia w-on all her
games but one, while she tied another.
Auburn's record also discloses one tie
and one lost game, but as we throw
out ties it leaves the slate standing for
both Auburn and Georgia all wins but
one.
By this metlfod of reckoning, Vander
bilt is first, while Georgia and Auburn
are tied for second place.
No one will question Vanderbilt’s
right to claim first place. For, say
what you will about the mere record,
the public generally will take somewhat
into account in their own minds the
scores of other games, and what things
generally a team has achieved through
out a season’s play. For instance, how
could we fail to forgive Vanderbilt
their one off-color day, recalling as we
do her crushing defeats of all other
Southern teams and her grand battle
against the very best team in the whole
country? Tn other words, we just must
heed to some extent our own opinions
as to a team’s inherent strength, and
hew we think that strength will com
pare with another team’s nine days out
of ten, particularly when they do not
all play the same teams, and under
like conditions, as in a baseball league.
This kindly and favorable opinion, I
say, will estop most every one from
voicing any protest whatever against
awarding the palm to the Commodores,
no matter what they may think might
be shown by mere figures. And so there
will be no argument about Vanderbilt.
Auburn and
Georgia Tied.
But now comes the big hullabaloo.
Georgians will wonder how I can di
vide their second layer of the cake in
two and give one part of it to Auburn,
when they defeated that Auburn team.
Can it be, though, that they have al
ready forgotten how badly they were
overwhelmed by Vanderbilt, when the
latter could not even win by a single
point from Auburn? And look at their
failure to win from Sewanee! If Geor
gia wishes to reckon percentages by
the inclusion of half games, she will
fare no better than a tie for second with
Auburn, for she will have to count a
loss of 11-2 games (Vanderbilt and
Sewanee) against 11-2 for Auburn
(Georgia and Vanderbilt).
In the East there are many, many
good football teams that do not meet
each other, and on this account a real
ranking, based absolutely on the per
centage of games won and lost, as in a
league, is quite impossible. Yet the
writers do attempt rankings, and these
they base on their personal opinions for
lack of better data to guide them. To a
lesser degree we have here to resort to
the same crude methods, since the
teams in the S. I. A. A. do not play the
same teams, which makes all the dif
ference in the world.
And when I look over the work of the
two teams for the season as a whole,
and think of the caliber of the opposing
teams they both faced, I find myself
squarely of the opinion that Auburn
would have won from Georgia three
days out of every four, or oftener.
Georgia people know and admit that
they caught Auburn off-edge. Still,
this is a part of the game, even if not a
major part, and their splendid achieve
ment Is not to be entirely set aside.
Auburn made a sad mistake in taking
on Vanderbilt the Saturday before
Thanksgiving, and It was equally a
doleful undertaking for Vanderbilt.
Neither of them will make that mis
take again.
I have no mental reservations what
soever when I declare that, taking into
account not only the one game the two
teams played against each other and
the circumstances and conditions under
which it was played, but also their rec
ords for the entire season, they are en
titled to no better and no worse than
an absolute tie for second place.
Sewanee Team
Comes Fourth,
Sewanee’s friends will fail to under
stand why they are not as good as<
Georgia, since they tied the Athenians.
Well. well, of course, the Mountaineers
are as good if we consider that one
game alone. And it is true they held
Vanderbilt to a. closer score than did
Georgia. But they didn’t do so well
with Chattanooga as did Georgia, nor
with Tech, nor with Alabama. In fact,
their tie game with the latter totals
them a loss of one whole game and two
half games on the season, which is
worse than the record made by either
Auburn or Georgia. And then we must
not forget that they won from Tech
only on the veriest fluke of the entire
season.
No, 1 am firmly of opinion that both
Georgia and Auburn were potentially
decidedly stronger than Sewanee, and
even doubt whether the Tigers could
have, won again from the A’ellow*Jack
ets bad the? met in a second game.

mon Auburn’s showing was, on the
whole, considerably the better of the
two.
Where Does
Tech Rank?
Does Tech rank above the remainder
of the field? It’s very hard, indeed, to
say with confidence whether she is en
titled to fifth place. But I believe she is.
As a matter of fact the proper deter
mination of places for all the rest is a
harder problem than wfmt has gone be
fore. This is so largely for the reason
that the remaining teams have not
played such schedules as would enable
anybody to accurately determine much
of anything. Thus Teqh has not played
Tulane, Tennessee, L. S. U. or either of
the Mississippis.
Auburn has not played Tulane, Ten
nessee, Mississippi. Alabama nor Se
wanee. Georgia has not played Tulane,
the Mississippis, Tennessee, Mercer nor
L. S. U. And Sewanee has not played
Tulane, the Mississippis, Mercer nor
Auburn. And so it goes.
Now, with these incomplete schedules
it is quite impossible to get a good line
on the relative merits of all the teams
in the S. 1. A. A. About ail we have to
go by is the fact that Alabama, whom
we know over in this section, defeated
Mississippi by a close score, and was
defeated by Mississippi A. & M. by a
close score. The two Mississippis did
not play against each other either this
year, so this leaves us high and dry
again. But Alabama defeated Tulane,
and Tulane defeated Mississippi A &
M. while the latter defeated Alabama
all three being close scores. As Ala
bama also defeated the University of
Mississippi, which latter defeated L. S.
L., it looks like plain sailing to rank
Alabama at least on a par with the
other colleges over in that section.
And yet we all recall what Tech did
to Alabama—much the worst score that
has been put up against the Tusca
ioosans.
And no one any longer thinks that it
was coming to an early height that en
able Tech to do this, for she played
equally well in all her subsequent
games; and even on the last day of the
season defeated the strong Clemson
team by as great a margin as either
Auburn or Georgia had been able io
turn the trick.
The luck of things has been against
Tech in nearly all her games this year,
but those who saw them play most of
their matches will, I am sure, encounter
no difficulty in assigning her to no
worse position than fifth.
Alabama Is
Given Sixth.
From the foregoing it will not be
difficult to observe that Alabama has a
nose ahead of the remainder of the
field. She would have the right. I think,
to claim this from her games with the
Mississippis and Tulane alone—remem
bering how these latter came out in
their games with each other. But
when we recall Alabama's tie game
with Sewanee and her splendid show
ing against Georgia there remains no
doubt whatever. Tech was really the
only team that was able tb put it over
the Tuscaloosans in large gobs.
They had a rather close shave of it on
Thanksgiving day. but with the hard
fights they had been having all 'season
they were about all In. and are to be
congratulated on having won the game
at all.
Other Teams
Hard to Place.
With but few exceptions the remain
ing teams did not play each other, and
all the guess one can make between
them must arise from the showing they
made against superior teams. Thus as
between the Mississippis, L. S. U., Mer
cer, Tulane, Tennessee and Florida,
Clemson met none of them but Mercer.
The latter played none but Clemson
and Tennessee, which last played none
but Mercer anil Alabama. The two
Mississippis did not meet each other
at all. Tulane played only Mississippi
A. & M., and so on.
Os the lot it looks to me as though
Mississippi A. & M. had a shade the
better of the records as a whole, but
as she was beaten by Tulane we will
have to hold her back with the rest of
the clan. On the other hand, I can not
see my way clear to give Tulane a quit
claim deed to seventh place ahead of
the rest, because she was defeated by
L. S. U. decisively on Thanksgiving
day. But L. S. U. had already been
beaten by narrow margins by both the
Mississippis. So there remains noth
ing to do but call it a draw between the
four for seventh place.
Florida and
Clemson Tied.
Tennessee played pretty good ball
and won from quite a number of teams,
but. after all, nobody of consequence.
She lost rather badly to Sewanee and
unexpectedly to Mercer; so Mercer
outranks her. The trouble with Mer-

eer’s record is that it shows little or
nothing accomplished except in this
same game with Tennessee. She was
defeated by’ Clemson, which makes her
lose out here; and when you compare
her record with that of Florida we find
that she did not make as good a show
ing against either Auburn or Tech as
did the Floridans, while she was also
unable to get better than a tie with
the latter when they met; so that puts
Florida ahead of her also; especially
as Florida won from the strong South
Carolina team.
But when we come to deciding Ibe
tween Florida and Clemson for eleventh
place we are up against something else
again. Auburn and Tech both made
slightly better scores against Clemson
than they did against Florida, while
Florida defeated South Carolina, which
was more than Clemson could do, for
they were han’dily defeated by’ the
South Carolina team. To offset this,
Clemson can point out thta she defeat
ed Mercer, while the best Florida could
do was tie up their game with Mercer.
However, Clemson can point with pride
to her great victories over Citadel and
Howard and her fine game against
Georgia,
I will split eleventh place between
Florida and Clemson. This lets Mer

to make the weight. Eight pounds is
not a whole lot of difference when it is
considered that in height the boxers are
just about the same size and neither
has anything on the other in reach.
The contract reads that if Whitney is
on his feet at the end of the tenth
round he wins the bout, regardless of
points. And the job looks a trifle too
much for the Omaha scrapper.
In the first place, English is distinct
ly a one-handed fighter. His right is
dangerous, but his left has never made
anybody go to sleep. Now, Whitney is
a corking good defensive man and it is
hard to see how he will let his opponent
slip over a sleep punch when he knows
that he has got but one hand to watch.
There is hardly a remote possibility
that the Carpenter can stop English,
Whitney's only fault In his Atlanta
bouts seemed to be that despite the fact
that he could land often, the punches
never seemed to carry enough to trou
ble the man in front of him. And in
English he meets a tough, hardened old

TIGERS IN SEARCH OF
GOOD MOUND ARTISTS
DETROIT. MICH.. Dec. 3.—President
Navin, of the Tigers, will attend the
annual meeting of the American league
prepared to trade a good share of his
kingdom for a pitcher.
Detroit being in the second division
last year, almost, the entire grist of
young pitchers fished in by the scouts
were tried out. So the customary hope
that a real wonder will be uncovered in
the South in the spring is lacking. Just
qne of the bushels showed promise of
the convincing kind, Wheatley. The
others had a few good innings. Be
sides Wheatley, Detroit has Dubuc and
that is all.
It is the duty of every Atlan
tan to vote in tomorrow’s city
election.

I am going to tear in at the sound of

cop him. I don't believe he can stand

1 hit him he is going to go."
"I don’t believe English can hit me
with a handful of shot," says Whitney.

However the bout goes, though, it
ought to prove a fast, interesting af

of their Atlanta reputations to do a
