Eight Georgia Players Almost
Sure To Be Missing From *
Team Next Season.
A l’HENS. GA.. Dec. 5.—Coach
Cunningham left this week for
Independence, Kans . where he
l pend two months with his chil-
;.*n before returning to Georgia to
ake up the work of baseball coach.
Before lie left he took stock of his
football material for another season
,nd finds that he will be minus sev-
eral of his star players when the
season of 1914 arrives.
Captain McWhorter, right half-
Lack; Conklin, end; DeLaperriere,
enter; McKinnon, guard; Conyers,
guard; Flournoy, quarter: Malone,
guard; Hitchcock, end. These eight
i iayers are almost sure to be lost to
■ lie Red and Black. McWhorter has
caved his time out in the S. I. A. A.,
onklin has also played four years
ml is ineligible. DeLaperriere will
noi return to college, though he has
<. more years of football; McKin
non graduates with a B. L. degree;
- Olivers will complete his course &nd
will hardly return; Flournoy gradu
ates; Malone lias entered business
in Monticello and Hitchcock receives
his degree. All these players were
regulars with the exception of
Flournoy and Hitchcock, and their
loss will be a heavy one to the
Georgians.
* * *
T URNER. Who has played a bril
liant tackle, may not be back,
while Paddock, who has just been
elected captain, is an uncertainty,
but it is thought that he will return
10 lead the Red and Black his last
>ear in Southern athletics.
Those who are counted on as a
nucleus v for 1914 are Henderson at
tackle, Thrash at guard, Smith at
*nd, Logan at end. Powell at full.
Urump at half, Thompson at half.
Purcell at guard, Owens at end.
Dorsey at quarter, and Turner and
Paddock.
This finds Georgia pretty well
fixed in the backfield with Paddock
at quarter. Thompson at left half..
• 'rump at light half and Powell full,
but center; the guard positions and
one tackle wilt be open, with the end
positions pretty weT> looked after b>
Owens, Smith and, Logan.
> « * *
T" HE Red and Black schedule will
* be announced soon after the S. I.
A. A. meeting this month. It is re
ported that some radical changes are
> be made from the schedule of
former years. The Georgia authori-
i -s are considering a game with the
1 ,niisle Indians early in the season
ond have taken up the matter with
■ each Warner. Warner was coach*
t Georgia in 189ti, when a winning I
team was turned out by the Uni- j
versity, and lie is anxious to play a I
game in Atlanta in October.
Under the present schedule Geor- j
gia is without a Thanksgiving game
and if Auburn refuses to come to
Athens next year some other team j
will he taken on for Turkey Day
and there seems to bo a possibility
of the Georgia-Tech game being ar
ranged for that day.
* * *
C OMING from an authority at
Georgia, it is reported that the
S. 1. A. A. will take under considera
tion at the coming meeting the pass-
rig of a one-year-in-college rule as
is in force in the Northern and
Eastern colleges. If such a rule
passes it will be necessary for a
player to remain in college a year
before he is eligible to play on the
varsity* This will work a hardship
for the first year or two, but will
eliminate much of the ground for
ineligibility of new players, and
since it has come to such a pass that
tiie college making the highest bid
usually gets the prep stars of the
South such a ruling should do much
toward the uplift of Southern ath
letics.

Veterans Needed on a Ball Club

All-Kid Team Not a Success
Smith and Maddox
Keep Handball Title
Of Atlanta A, C.
By O. B. Keeler.,
W ITH further reference to the
way certain clubs in the
Southern League are can
ning their old hands this winter, we
have to offer the opinion that such a
plan may be carried to excess. And
when it is the result is damaging.
The Atlanta club’s directors have
shown that they appreciate this fact
fully, and Bill Smith is of the same
opinion. Bill likes youth and speed on
1?is club as well as any man, but Bill
knows mighty well that youth and
speed won't do it all.
There is the acquisition of Ambrose
McConnell, a heady, steady veteran,
to play second base and keep the lid
on an infield otherwise consisting
mainly of youngsters.
There is old Rube Kissinger, taken
on the pitching staff largely on ac
count of his wise old noodle and use
fulness in coaching kid pitchers.
And there is Joe Dunn, of the
catching staff.
Bill himself is no spring chicken,
and he knows the value of experience
and steadiness in balancing a ball
club.

The doubles section of the annual
handball tournament at the Atlanta
Athletic Club was completed Thursday
afternoon, when Howard Arnold and
Jack Beasley, having defeated Wilson

earned the right to play Carlton Smith

Smith and Maddox thus retain their
place as title holders in doubles, while
the losers, having won their way
through a good field in tiie tournament,
are somewhat consoled by a handsome

another challenge next season. A big

Princeton Opposes Pro Coaches
Gradual Elimination Proposed
Basket Ball Fives to
Clash in Title Game
At Armory To-night
P RINCETON, N J., Dec. 5.—
Princeton men are anxiously
watching the outcome of the re
cent agitation here which favors bar
ring the professional coach from all
connection with university teams and
which would dissuade college men
from taking up professional baseball
as a means of gaining a living.
When the Princeton baseball team
goes out on the field in the spring to
play other teams it will not be ac
companied by its professional coach.
The coach will sit in the grandstand.
This is taken to mean that sooner or
later the professional coach will be
eliminated entirely. Coach Horneck,
of the hockey squad, was let out and
the team is being coached this year
by Captain H. A. H. Baker and such
graduates as are able to lend their
time.
The organization which started the
campaign against the professional
coach, the athletic board of control,
is composed of undergraduates, and
its action is final with the approval
of the faculty committee on under
graduate athletics. The board is es
pecially desirous of creating a senti
ment against participation in summer
baseball games.
As for the other colleges, Yale has
notified Princeton of her acquiescence
in the plan to do away with the pro
fessional baseball coach and to seat
him in the grandstand when the teams
play. Harvard has not been heard
from. The idea is not to act radical
ly, but to work for gradual elimina
tion.
Princeton has at present only one
man in professional baseball. He is
C. H. Sterrett, captain of the cham
pionship nine in 1912, who was with
tiie New York Americans last spring
before he was released by Manager
Chance to the minors. Sterrett re
turned to Princeton in the fall and
occupied the position of preceptor in
the faculty.
Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, head of the
physical education department of the
university, had the following to say in
regard to college professionalism
“This question is one of the biggest
which lias been occupying the atten
tion of amateur organizations such as
the National Collegiate Association,
the Western Conference, the Missouri
Conference and the Ohio (’(inference j
in recent ve^rs. I do not thtyik that |
summer baseball is desirable. Per- j
sonally I am opposed to professional-]
ism on principle, and this attitude I
represents that w’hioh Princeton is
taking
“We shall try to preclude the pos-
sibilitity of any of our graduates en- i
tering professional athletics when j
they leave Princeton. It seems to me
liege graduate should fulfill
a greater position in life than that
which is open to him as a professional
athlete.
“There is nothing dishonorable
about professional athletics; but this
field does not afford tin* college man
the scope of the full use of the ad
vantages vtliich his college training
has given him.’’
Athletic Club Five
Ready for Bessemer
The Atlanta Athletic Club basket ball
team will, open Its season Saturday

The Bessemerltes have a hard game
on hand to-night, as htey meet the

This should prove a good work-out for
the Alabama men.
Botli teams are out for a string of vie
tories this season and the team that

have to play some speedy ball.
The Bessemer team will arrive here
