Sure, the Judge Gave Him a Call
Eight Georgia Players Almost
Sure To Be Missing From
Team Next Season.
* A
THENS, GA., Dec 5.—Coach
Cunningham lefi this week for
Independence. Kans.. where he
\ iil spend two months with his chil
li en before returning to Georgia to
:ake up the work of baseball coach.
Before he left he took stock of his
football material for another season
and finds that he will be minus sev
eral of his star players when the
season of 1914 arrives.
Captain McWhorter, right half
back; Conklin, end; DeLaperriere,
• enter; McKinnon, guard; Conyers,
guard; Flournoy, quarter; Malone,
guard; Hitchcock, end. These eight
players are almost sure to be lost to
the Red and Black. McWhorter has
played his time out in the S. I. A. A..
Conklin has also played four years
and is ineligible. DeLaperriere will
not return to college, though he has
two more years of football; McKin
non graduates with a B. L. degree;
< 'onyers will complete his course and
will hardly return; Flournoy gradu
ates; Malone has 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
to lead the Red and Black his last
>ear in Southern athletics.
Those who are counted on as a
nucleus for 1914 are Henderson at
tackle. Thrash at guard. Smith at
*nd, Logan at end. Powell at full.
• 'rump at half. Thompson at half.
Purcell at guard, Owens at end.
Dorsey at quarter, and Turner and
Pa 11 dock.
This finds Georgia pretty well
fixed in the backfleld with Paddock
at quarter. Thompson at left half,
(’rump, at right half and Powell full,
hut center; the guard positions and
• *ne tackle will be open, with the end
positions pretty well looked after by
Owens, Smith and Logan.
* *
r T l HE Red and Black sc hedule will
* he announced soon after the S. I.
A. A. meeting this month. It is re
ported that some radical changes are
to be made from the schedule of
former years. The Georgia authori
ses are considering a game with the
Carlisle Indians early in the season
and have taken up the matter with
< oacli Warner. Warner was coach
at Georgia in 1896, when a winning
team was turned out by the Uni
versity,’ and he is anxious to play a
game in Atlanta in October.
Under tlie present schedule Geor
gia is without a Thanksgiving game
and if Auburn refuses to come to
Athens next year some other team
will be taken on for Turkey Day
and there seems to be 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. I. A. A. will take under considera
tion at the coming meeting the pass
ing of a one-year-in-college rule as
is in force in the Northern and
Eastern oolleges. 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
the 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
^*•4* •!•••!*
All-Kid Team Not a Success
Bv O. B. Kfeeler.
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
his club as well as any man, but Bili
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 <5f 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.

Princeton Opposes Pro Coaches
*!* • v
*!*••:*
Gradual Elimination Proposed
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 coat'll.
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 tho 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
the 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 has been occupying the atten
tion of amateur organizations such as
the National Collegiate Association,
the Western Conference, the Missouri
Conference and the Ohio Conference
in recent years. I do not think that
summer baseball is desirable. Per
sonally. I am opposed to professional
ism on principle, and this attitude
represents that which Princeton is
taking
"We shall try to preclude the pos-
sibilitity of any of our graduates en
tering professional athletics when
they leave Princeton. It seems to me
that a college^graduale should fulfill 1
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 the college man
the scope of the full use of the ad
vantages which his college training
has given him.”
Athletic Club Five
Ready for Bessemer
The Atlanta Athletic Club basket ball
team will open its season Saturday
night, playing the Bessemer Athletic
Club five The Atlanta boys have been
putting in some hard practice during
the past few weeks and are in great
shape for the fray.
The Besaemerltes have a lard game
on hand to-night, as htey meet the
strong Columbus team in Columbus.
This should prove a good work-out for
the Alabama men
Both teams are out for a string of vie
tories this season and the team tliai
romps away with Saturday's game will
have to play some speeds ball.
*The Bess, mer team will arrive here
Saturday at noon.
AMERICAN GOLFER SAFE.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 5.—Willie Smith,

was national open champion of the

formed that his friends across the fbor-
