Vanderbht and Sewanee Players Will Invade Lone Star State
BIG FOOTBALL BATTLE IN TEXAS NEW YEARS DAY
NASHVILE, TENN., Dec. 13.
The football curtain that was
rung down on Southern grid
iron sport. Thanksgiving day, will
be raised again on New Years day,
for a curtain speech, so to speak.
Just where has not been decided
definitely, but it is certain to hap-«
pen in one of the larger cities of
Texas, when a bunch of gladiators
who at some time or other fought
under the colors of Vanderbilt or
Sewanee, under the leadership of
■Slick” Stewart, will Invade the
Lone Star state, to tackle a collec
tion of Western football stars.
"Slick” was formerly a crack end
on the mighty Vanderbilt machine,
hut more recently he has been
teaching the eleven at Christian
Brothers college, in Texas, just how
the old game is played.
Stewart journeyed over a thou
sand miles to gather together the
cream of the pigskin stars in this
section, since so few have ever
been able to take the cowboy’s
measure. So great is the distance
that separates the Texas elevens
from others of the S. I. A. A., that
football fans in the Southwest sel
dom get a chance to witness a
clash between the pride of the West
and the champions of the South.
Good Chance for Comparison.
This struggle will offer a long
iwaited opportunity to witness a
>ame that should be worth travel
og miles to see, since it will pro
vide a comparison of the system
that wins for Vanderbilt and that
of the elevens of Texas, which are
so vastly different.
One of the most noticeable fea
tures of the varying attack of the
two sections is the method of han
dling the forward pass. In this part
of the country, coaches train the
pass receiver to catch the ball
against the body, just as they re
ceive a punt of any other kick. But
In Texas it has been the system of
a majority of the coaches to have
the men catch the ball In the hands
alone, just as the basket ball is
handled. There is no doubt that the
latter system is far superior. That
is, if the receiver doesn’t act like
Snodgrass in the final world se
ries game.
The players from this section who
will appear in the New Years day
line-up are about as follows: Gil
• !em. Sewanee, Walton, Southwest
ern, Presbyterian university; Stew
art, Vanderbilt, on the ends. Metzger
Vanderbilt; Connell, Vanderbilt;
Covington. Vanderbilt; Freeland.
Vanderbilt; Swafford, Vanderbilt,
will take care of the line posi
tions. Chigger Browne, Sewanee,
and Robins, of Vanderbilt, will al
ternate at quarterback. In the
back field will appear such famous
players tfs Ijewls Hardage, Vander
bilt; Bill Neely. Vanderbilt; Man
ship, 8. P. U., and Allen Brown, of
Vanderbilt. Shields and Cahall, of
P P U., will be substitutes.
Southern Players Are Cracks.
This array of talent includes
many of the best players that ever
flashed across a Southern gridiron,
GMllem, the Sewanee player, who
waa captain of his team this year,
waa considered by every one to be
the best punter In the South. In
hits best game, that with Vanderbilt,
his kicks averaged 44 yards beyond
the line of scrimmage.
"Frog” Metzger was in 1910-1911
the star linesman for McGugln, and
earned a place on one of Walter
Camp’s All-American teams, being
the third man of the South to re
ceive Eastern recognition. "Frog”
is now with an engineering crew in
south Alabama, engaged In a water
power survey, and reports that he
is hard as nails and eager for a
tough battle.

being a tar more versatile player
than any other member of the
team. He was a wonder at getting
down under punts and following the
ball on all offensive plays with the
rest of the fleet backfield men, while
at backing up the line he was a

HIGERS IN SIX-DAY
HADE WORN DOT
Ry PACE SET
NEW YORK, Dec. 13—The stx
day bicycle riders pulled off
sort of a left-handed strike
today and refused to ride on the
saucer-shaped track For a long
time they circled Madison Square
Garden slowly on the "flat” with
in the track. They believed
that the speed they had made was
too great to permit them to last
throughout the race, so they
slowed up. ,
As a result, they fell materially
behind the old record. At 8 o’clock’
they had covered only 2,007 miles
and 6 laps, as compared with 2.015
miles and 2 laps, made by Collins
and Pye in 1911. At that time the
teams which were tied were: Kra
mer and Moran, Pye and Grenada,
Perchicot and Egg, Root and He
hir, Rutt and Fogler, Clarke and
Hill, Bedell and Millen. Cameron
and Walthour, Walker and Wells,
Brocco and Berthel, Drobach and
Collins. Ryan and Thomas.
By 9 o’clock, the 105th hour, the
twelve leaders were 13 miles and 4
laps behind the record made by
Miller and Waller In 1899. They
had then covered 2,019 miles and 8
laps. The two trailing teams were
two laps behind.
Last night there were accidents
galore., Once Oscar Egg. of the
French team, crashed into Bobby
Walthour's wheel on one -of the
turns shortly before 10 o’clock.
Both were thrown. While Egg re
gained his feet and wheel, Wal
thour was picked up unconscious.
It was found later that Bobby was
not seriously Injured, and he later
reappeared on the track.
Between 9 and 11 o’clock there
were several sprints. In the most
sensational one, at 10:35 o’clock,
the Grenada-Pye combination
seemed to have practically gained
a lap, but the referee did not allow
it on the ground that the riders had
not quite overlapped the leaders
when the sprint ended by a punc
ture of Fogler’s tire.
At 10 a. m., the 106th hour, the
twelve leading teams had covered
2,033 miles and 6 laps, 17 miles and
1 lap behind the record made by
Miller-and Waller in 1899. Twelve
teams were tied.

CHARLOTTE Y. M. C. A,
The Atlanta Athletic club basket ball
quintet plays its second game of the
season Saturday night. Their oppo
nents will be the Charlotte (N. C> Y.
M. C. A. team.
The Charlotte boys put It over the
A. A. C. players last season and the
local pet formers are out for revenge.
The Tar Heel team is said to be of
championship and they claim
the championship of the Carolinas.
The Atlanta team has improved much
since its game with Bessemer last week.
It is believed Yhat the players have
gotten over their stage fright and but
ter-fingering. This was the one rea
son why they did not run up an un
merciful score against their enemy
then.
One thing can be said about the lo
cals and that is they are certainly much
better on handling the ball with one
hand this year than last and they will
win a good lot of games by this art. too.
The team will be much stronger this
week, as Du Bard will be on the job at
center. Dußard is In the -game from
start to finish, and the lad that keeps
up with him or puts one over on him
will have to go some.
Both teams claim their men to be in
the best of condition. The line-tip of
the two teams is as follows:
