Before he left he took stock of his f,„,tball material for another season and finds that he will be minus sev eral of his star players when the ■ a son of 1914 arrives I'aptain McWhorter, right half back; Conklin, end; DeLaperriere, ■ enter; McKinnon, guard; Conyers, guard; Flournoy, quarter; Malone, guard; Hitchcock, end. These eight |.lavers are almost sure to be lost to i lie Red and Black. McWhorter has played his time out in the S. I. A. A., ■ 'miklin has also played four years ind is ineligible, DeLaperriere will not return to college, though lie has nvo more years of football; McKin non graduates with a B. L. degree: Conyers will complete his course and will hardly return; Flournoy gradu ates; Malone has entered business in Montlcello and Hitchcock receives his degree. All these players were regulars with the exception of Flournoy and Hitchcock, and their loss will he a heavy one to the Georgians. * * « T ITRNKH, 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 year in Southern athletics. Those who are counted on as a nucleus for 1914 are Henderson at tackle. Thrash at guard. Smith at end. Logan at end. Powell at full, Trump 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 backfteld with Paddock at quarter, Thompson at left half. Trump at right half and Powell full, hut center; the guard positions and one tackle will be open, with the ehri positions pretty well looked after by Owens, Smith and Logan. * * * T HE Red and Black schedule will be announced soon after the S.

The Georgia authori- ies are considering a game with the ’arllsle Indians early 1n the season ind have taken up the matter with "oach Warner. Warner was coach it Georgia in 1896, when a winning cam was turned out by the Uni versity, and he is anxiou# to play a <ame in Atlanta in October.

I. A. A. will take under considera- ion at the coming meeting the pass- ng of a one-year-in-college rule as s 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 Mminate much of the ground for neligibility of new’ players, and Mnce 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 Southern ath- etics.

Princeton Opposes Pro Coaches *I***J* v**h 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 coach. The coach will sit in the grandstand. This is taken to mean that sooner or later the professional roach 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 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. 1 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 taxing ‘‘We shall try to preclude the pos sibility of any of our graduates en tering professional athletics when they leave Princeton. It seems to me that a college 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 the college man the scope of the full use of the ad vantages which his college training has given him.” RINGSIDE NOTES Danny Morgan has already dubbed Battling I^evinsky a “second Choynski.” Outside of a similarity in names and the fact that both are Hebrews, noth ing Levinsky has accomplished to date would entitle him to consideration In the same breath with the famous Jo seph. * * * ‘Knockout” Brown, the Eastern light weight, who has been laid up for nearly two weeks with an attack of grip, is ready to take on any of the light weights again. A New York promoter may match the “Dutchman” against Willie Beecher some time this month. • • • News comes from Jacksonville, Fla., that Jack Robinson, the veteran scrap per, bested Mickey Gannon last week Tn a fifteen-round bout. Although Robin son Is well along in years, he is still capable of giving many of the boys in the game to-day a lacing. Billy Lutz is trying to match Eddie Hanlon with Robinson. • • • Nothing has been heard lately of Billy Nolan, former manager of Willie Ritchie The latter’s recent success In the ring must be the reason. Or, is Billy search ing for a boy to take Willie's measure? * * • Jack Britton was handed a surprise the other night when he stacked up against Mike Glover In New York Several reports from the Eastern city gave Glover a good shade over Jack for the ten rounds. Glover is the boy who has been defeating them ail around Bos ton for the past year. He recently took a trip to New York to try out some of the Eastern stars. * * • Jimmy Clabby, one of the best mid dleweight in the country to-day, is now- under the management of Laraey Lich tenstein.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 6— Benny Al len, of Kansas City, defeated Charles Weston, of Pittsburg, here last night in the first of three blocks to decide the national pocket billiard championship.

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO, Dec. 6.—Gus Christie, of Milwaukee, outpointed Buck Crouse, of Pittsburg, In 12 rounds of tame boxing here last night Smith and Maddox Keep Handball Title Of Atlanta A. C. 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 and Rush in the 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. Smith and Maddox thus* retain their place as title holders in doubles, while the losers, having won their way through a good field in the tournament, are somewhat consoled by a handsome cup apiece, and the chance of making another challenge next season. A big gallery watched the title match. The singles championship match is scheduled to be played early Friday aft ernoon between the challenger. M. E Keeler, who won the singles branch of the tourney, and the title holder, Carlton Y.

THOMAS BEATS BEAUDREAU. LAWRENCE, MASS., Dec. 6 — KM Thomas easily defeated Joe Beaudreau In their 12-round bout at the Unity A. C. here last night. Sam Crane Says Oldtimer Would Be a Valuable Asset for Muggsy McGraw. Bv Sam Crane. N EW YORK, Dec. 6.— Secretary Foster has been empowered by Manager McGraw. who Is now on the “briny,” to carry out the plans, deals, tradeB. etc., tha* the manager had in view before his de parture on the around-the- world jaunt. Consequently Foster will again be a very busy man during the meeting of the magnates As the presidential proposition that baa so often been the cause of fric tion and delay at previous meetings has been happily settled by the unanimous selection of Governor Tener, and as the latter has publicly announced that he will accept the office, there will be much more time at the disposal of the Giants’ secre tary to follow McGraw’s Instructions. That McGraw had several Impor tant deals on tap he himself acknowl edged the day before he left on the world’s trip, but he divulged them to only Meswr*. Hempstead and Fos ter. The engagement of Wilbert Rob inson a» manager of the Superbas will probably necessitate the secur ing of another pitcher-coach for the Giants, because McGraw has not the time during the training sea;»on to look out for his big staff of pitchers and give them the attention they re quire Charlie Farrell, who once held the job with the Yankees, has been men tioned as Robbie’s successor, and “The Duke” is not so old that he could not fill the place satisfactorily, base than Charlie Farrell, as he con temporaries when both were in their prime ns active players, and there arc very few better coachers at third base*than Charlie Farrell as he con clusively proved when with the Yan kees, and that is a job, to be suc cessful at. that requires the best of Judgment as to the speed of base runners, the throwing abilities of op posing fielders and the stages of a game. The Giants have scarcely one good coacher at the far corner outside of McGraw, and wtten one stops to con sider how many game.s are lost by faulty coaching of runners a good coacher is a very valuable man to any club.

W ITH further reference io the way certain cIude 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 clubs directors have shown that they appreciate this fact fully, and Bill Smith is of the same oplnton, Bill likes youth and speed on his *3lub 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, 9.nd he knows the value of experience and steadiness in balancing a ball club. » • • T TERE was Cholly Frank la.et sea son.
