vs THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS I I Pennant Predictions Came 'Tlirough, Every Team Would He a Regular Champion Ellllll LOSE SEVERAL SILK HAT HARRY'S DIVORCE SUIT 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.

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. * * * T HERE was Cholly Frank last sea son.

The doubles section of the annual handball tournament ar the Atlanta Athletic Club w r as completed Thursday afternoon, when Howard Arnold and Jack Beasley, having defeated Wilson and Rush in ihe final match and thus earned the right to play Carlton Smith and Cone Maddox for the club title, were defeated in a hard match by the cham pions.

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, the American golfer, has not disap peared, as reports from the United States would seem to indicate, but is engaged in his daily tasks as profes sional at tiie Mexican Country Club, just outside Mexico City. Smith, who once was national open champion of the l'tilted States, seemed amused when in formed that his friends across the fbor- der feared some mishap had befallen him. • BARONS GET TWIRLER.
