Southern Players Are Cracks.
Tin's array of talent includes'
:u. :,y of the best players that ever
flashed across a Southern gridiron,
Gillr-m, the Sewanee player, who
was captain of his team this year,
was considered by every one to be
the best punter in the South. In
his 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 McGugin, nnd
earned a place on one of Walter
Camp's All-American teams, being
the third man of the South to re

RIDERS IN SIX-BAY
RICE WORN OUT
81 PACE SET
NEW YORK, Dee. 13.—The six
bay bicycle riders pulled off
sort of a left-handed strike
today and refused to ride on the
saucer-shaped track '•"or a long
time they circled Madison Square
Garden slowly on the “Hat” with
in the track. Tly>y 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 fled were: Kra
mer and Moran, Pye and Grenada,
I’erchicot and Egg, Root and He
hlr, Rutt and Fogier, Clarke and
Hill, Bedell and Millen. Cameron
and Walthour, Walker and Wells,
Brocco and Berthel, Drobaeh 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.
Il 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 bad
not quite overlapped the leaders
when the sprint ended by a punc
ture of Fogler's tire.
At 10 a. in., 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.
PENN STATE TOO ROUGH:
CORNELL PASSES ’EM UP
ITHACA, N. Y., Dec. 13.—Claiming that
the tactics used by the Penn. State

WITH STRONG LINE-UP
A. A. C. TEAM TACKLES
CHARLOTTE Y. M. C. A.
Th. 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.
U. C. A. team.
The Charlotte boys put It over the
A. A. c. players last season and the
local pel formers are out for revenge.
The Tar Heel team is said to be of
championship caliber, and they claim
the championship of the Carolinas.
The Atlanta team has improved much
since its game with Bessemer last week,
it is believed that the players have
gotten over their stag • fiq-it 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 om
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 Dußard will be on the job at
! center. Dußard is in the game from
i start to finish, and the lad that keeps
| up with hint 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-up of
the two teams is as follows:
Atlanta A. C. Charlotte.
E. Smith. If Crowell, If.
