Graduation Spells Disaster for the Yellow Jackets ]
Loeb, Lueherman, Colley, Montague, Thomasson Lost
NOW that the football season is
over and basket ball not
quite ready to enter the
arena, dope is in order us to the
probable strength of the Yellow
jacket machine next season. The
strength of a team is generally
tigured in advance by the number
of old men who will return and also
by the strength of the last year's
scrub team.
By graduation, the Yellow Jack
ets will lose Loeb, the gritty little
center and one of the best men
Coach Heisman has ever devel
oped. There is. however, a pretty
good chance of Loeb returning and
helping the team as much as he
an, both by his gritty playing and
.is example of undaunted courage,
together with his large supply of
-pirit.
Captain Lueherman will gradu
ate and will not return, this being
his last year of college ball. In
T.ueherman. Tech will lipse one of
the most consistent players ever
iad. "Dutch” was light, but he
barged hard. He played his best
game in 1911, not being worried
with the cares of captain. His
loss will surely be felt.
Cook will return, having been

He should play great bail next

with any result, graduates, but may
be persuaded to return and help
pull Tech out of the hole which siic
lias been in for the past three year/.
He is a corking player, and with a
few more pounds of good muscle
he would be about the hardest man
in tin South to stop. He is also a
regular fiend when it comes tu
breaking up interference, and a
hard tackler.
Means will not graduate, but his
returning is extremely doubtful. If

MURPHY THINKS HE CAN
GET PACKEY THIS TRIP
KENOSHA. AVIS., Dec. 16. —Packey Mc-
Farland and Eddie Murphy will meet here
tonight in a ten-round no decision fight.
Both men today were in excellent con- I
dition and both confident. The contest |
has aroused deep interest among fight :
fans here. Experts shy Packey is the
cleverer fighter and asserts that Murphy
has the harder kick.
“I never felt better on the eve of a
fight,” said McFarland today. Murphy is
clever and he hits hard, but I beat him
once before and 1 can do it again.”
Murphy is also reflecting on their bat
tle a year ago.
“McFarland beat me by a lucky punch
once before,” said Eddie. “Since then 1
have studied his style and have a new
defense. I am going after him from the
tap of the gong.”

IT'S a good general proposition
that when you don't stand to
lose you consequently don't
stand to win. But with the Mor
ris-Kubiak bout set for Tuesday
night at the Dixie Athletic club this
doesn't seem to hold. For that is
one occasion where the light fans
will not stand to lose—and yet they
have a ehahce of seeing one of the
big tights of a season that has been
punctuated with all sorts of en- |
gagements.
Tlie point is tins: The t Inb v, ill,
issue "rain cheeks." If ’the tight
isn't up to specifications, these
checks are good for the next fight
er even better than that, for your
money back at the door.
There isn't much hocus-pocus
about a deal like that. Tile man
ager of the Dixie club is posing
as tlie guy that took the ache out
of fake—which is going some. ’And
he promises to deliver. If you
aren't .satisfied, the club will let you
see another fight free or will refund
your money.
The promoters of tile game know
that this is the make-or-break
tight of the season. It' it is a go,
the game will go booming along, to
the satisfaction of everybody. If it
isn’t, they’ll tie crape on the door
knob of the Dixie Athletic club and
writ. "finis" on the recoid of pub
lic fights in Atlanta.
The club isn’t taking any un
necessary chances. They have
made the fighters agree to a 75-
25 split, which means that both of
them will fight hard to get the big
end. Os course, this tines not ab
solutely prevent the men from
"framing,", if they want to. But it
doesn’t seem likely that they will
take a chance. In fact. Morris
came- pretty well out of the nasty
mess in Chattanooga, but will have,
to fight his best if he is to get any
more fights of consequence. He
knows only too well that if he
doesn’t leave Atlanta with, a good
record his boxing days are num
bered and it’s "back to the old en
gine" for Carl —for life.
As happens often enough, this
fight is likely to be the best of the
season. The club, the referee
(who will be the justly celebrated
Mike Saul), the fighters, the back
ers and the promoters know that it
Is up to them to make this light
the big one of the season.
If it isn't—good-night.
Spider Britt and Yankee
Schwartz will furnish the excite
ment at the semi-windup. They
are good kids and ambitious. They
will put on their famous liamtner
and-tongs specialty ami guarantee
that the public will see one rattling
fight, even if the rest aren’t up to
tl.e notch —which they probably
will be.
RUBE ACCUSES M'GRAW OF
■PROFESSIONAL’ JEALOUSY
ST. LoflS, Dec. 16. Rube Marquard,
premier slabman of the New York Giants,
declared that McGraw was jealous of his
success as an actor.
Marquard compared himself as an actor
favorably with Louis Mann and George
Cohan and predicted a brilliant stage fu
ture for himself. He declared that he
was booked for 22 weeks, and unless the
New York club came across with a con
tract for SIO,OOO he would stick to the
Stage and give up baseball for All time.
Marquard has become quite stuck up
since going on the stage and carries a
valet along and hands out tips that would
equal those of many a millionaire.

which finished last among the big
