Good Material
. THEN'S, GA., Dec. 4—Now
/\ that Georgia has closed one
I* of the most successful foot
ball seasons in the history of ath
letics at the university, both front
t be S I A. A. ranking standpoint
and financially, an inventory of the
nuad is in order with the view
point of estimating what Coach
Cunningham will have on hand as
a nucleus for next season.
Th- Red and Black team will for
sure lose the services of Captain
Peacock and Lucas, guards, and
Parrish, end. These are the only
() n the team who have played
allotted four years. There
a P others who may not return
rather on account of graduation or
because they will enter business.
Included under this classification
are Covington. Conklin and Har
veil.
Captain Peacock, familiarly
known to his teammates as “Em
peror." has played guard for four
\ ears. He registers from Eastman
and is a member of the senior aca
demic class and is also taking jun
ior law. He will return to conr
,,'Pte his law course next year and
will, in all probability, be a regular
member of the coaching staff.
Lucas, his running mate at guard,
was graduated last June in civil
engineering. He returned this fall
for post-graduate work. He is a
brother of “Big" Lucas, who was
ail-Southern center for Georgia
three years ago and captain of the
baseball team. He will remain in
college until June and then hang
out his engineering shingle. Wa
ve riy Hall is his native burg.
• Bubbles" Covington, of Car
tersville, Ga.. is also probably do
ing his last work for Georgia, al
though he has another year under
the rules of the S. I. A. A. He
broke into fame last spring as a
stellar third baseman and will hold
down that position on the varsity
again after Christmas. He re
ceived his “dip" last commence
ment as an A. B. and is now tak
ing two years of law in one, so
there’s not much chance that he
will be on hand another year.
Malone returned to Georgia this
fall for his second year and was
switched from the backfield to
tackle, where he played a good
game. He is taking “Ag." and will
be on hand next fall -when the call
for the gridiron is sent out. He
gets his checks from Monticello.
Conklin Will Be Graduated.
Hugh Conklin, who made the
touchdown that won the Auburn
game, is an Atlanta boy and after
June will be an alumnus with the
title of civil engineer. He has
played end for two years and is
known as one of the hardest tack
lers in the South. He will not be
back next year, as he will be asso
ciated with his father in business.
Ed Hitchcock hails from Doug
lesville and after prepping on the
scrubs for a season and a half went
to end as a regular when Parrish
was laid out. He is a junior and
with his experience should be a
mainstay on the 1913 team.
Putney ■ Pai rish has played end
for Georgia four years now and his
passing means the loss of one of
tlie best wing men the Red and
Black has ever had. He will enter
the real estate field in Bristol, Va.
Bob McWhorter, all-Southern
halfback for three seasons and
captain of next spring's baseball
team, will also lead the Athenians
on the g idiron next fall. He is a
local boy and is a junior and a
leader in his class. He is the only
Georgia athlete who has ever had
the captaincy of both baseball and
football.
Timon Bowden has one more
year and win return next fall. He
belongs to the "Ag.” brigade and
spends his holidays at McDonough.
He is regular catcher on the base
ball team and was awarded all-
Southern last spring.
John Henderson is here for three
more years and has already distin
guished himself as a great player.
Ho is taking a straight academic
course. Ocilla is his home.
Atlantan Will Return.
1 'Parley Thompson came to Geor
gia from the Atlanta High school
and was played at full most of the
season. He returns next year.
Powell, who did the line plung
ing in the Auburn game as well as
the punting, spent much of his
youth in the Philippines, where his
lather is a judge, but his Georgia
home is at Newnan. He is a fresh-

The Bessemerites have always put up a

for the local players this season. The
schedule calls for games with Charlotte

McGugin Ranks Sewanee Second, Georgia Fourth
<•••!•
Vanderbilt Coach Springs Sensational Ranking
XT THEN J. W. Heisman's rank-
V/V ing of Southern football
teams was published in
The Georgian it aroused a storm of
protest.
"How in the world can Heisman
rank Auburn in the same class with
Georgia when Georgia beat Auburn
in the Thanksgiving day game, 12
to 6?” was asked by hundreds.
With a view of leaving the mat
ter of the relative ranking to some
person who was entirely unpreju
diced it was put up to Dan Mc-
Gugin, coach of the Vanderbilt
football team.
It was felt that ho would have no
hesitation in ranking his own team
first—which he did.
It was felt that he would be sure
to give both Auburn and Georgia
full credit an<j to consider the ques
tion on a basis of tie whole sea
son’s showing.
Naturally there was a genuine
flabbergastation when McGugin
ranked Georgia fourth and Auburn
only third.
Here is McGugin’s reply to the
query as to how he would rank the
first four teams in the S. 1. A. A.
The task of ranking the first
four football teams Is one I have
usually side-stepped. I have also
almost Invariably avoided select
ing an All-Southern team, feeling
It might be better to save the
feelings of some of my men.
My own opinion is that the gen
eral strength of the first four
teams would place them relative
ly as follows:
Vanderbilt, Sewanee, Auburn,
Georgia.
While Vanderbilt was tied by
Auburn and beat Sewanee 16 to 0.
my judgment Is that Sewanee was
stronger offensively, and as strong
defensively. Auburn and Sewanee
were fortified with punters of
about equal rank, tvith Gillem
punting as he did in the Thanks
giving day game and Shea su
perior.
I have not seen Georgia since
the Vanderbilt-Georgia game, and.
therefore, can not have an accur
ate opinion of the strength of
Georgia Thanksgiving day.
I feel that the Vanderbilt game
weakened Auburn very materially
for her Thanksgiving game. I feel
that Auburn was weakened by the
Vanderbilt-Auburn game consid
erably more than Vanderbilt.
None of our backs were Injured In
