[ xilE All-Southerns have been
picked—each picker to his fan

still being wrangled over: and now
short review of the work of each
in during the season should not be
thout interest.
The heavyweight teams—those av-

,1 m. Georgia and Tennessee.
The middleweight teams—those av-
:i2ing 105 or thereabouts—were
Alabama. Sewanee, Missls-
A. & M and Tulane.
lightweight teams—those aver-
g 16o or less—were Tech. Florida,

;*l'i College,
1 • veteran teams—those having

Louisiana, Auburn, Georgia, Ai.

tween old and new players—were

'.cl s one thing, but the question
irding credit according to the
1 - confided to each team’s care is
lire another.
the fact that out of eighteen coaches
and sporting writers who picked All -
Southern teams, not a single one of
them chose a single Tech man for a
place on this all-star aggregation. In
other words, everybody agrees that
Tech had absolutely no stars of the
first magnitude, not even among her
few old players.
But, if such was the case, does the
team not deserve even greater credit
for the high stand and ranking to
which it attained than one that was
blessed with an abundance of excel
lent material to start with? Con
sider for a moment what any of the
other teams that were in the second
or third lists in the above classifica
tion did NOT succeed in accomplish
ing, and the reader will then be in
position to judge for himself.
MY PRESENT TO YOU THIS CHRISTMAS
IS A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY. SO OLD AND
RARE IT IS PRICELESS an old gem among liquors.
It is too precious to sell—not enough of it to go around.
But just so my good fnends and customers may know the
taste of whiskey as rare and mellow as any that ever crossed
the lips of the richest kings and princes, I am exceeding all
previous presents—making what in the entire history of this

This clever
Scotch
professional
is fast
developing the
new course
into one of
the best in the
south. It takes
a mighty
clever player
to turn in a
good caru as
many of the
holes are very
“tricky.” The
fair course is
already in
grand
condition, and
the putting
greens will
be immense
before long.
T^OING bark for a moment to a con-
oideration of Auburn’s play. I tie- 1
sire to point out that Auburn, in my
opinion, reached a higher stage of
line development than any Southern
team heretofore has attained.
Vanderbilt backflelds have in the past
carried off the palm, but no S. I. A.
A. line ever before has shown the
class that marked the work of the
Orange and Blue forwards this sea
son. And as the Plainsmen lose but
few of their veterans of this season
it may be counted as a certainty
that Auburn will produce an even
stronger eleven next year.
Louisiana had an almost entire vet
eran team this season, so it is likely!
she will lose many of her players for I
1914. As a result she may not stand |
quite so high, relatively, at the close j
of the next season as now. However, |
it should be said that the Pelicans]
have advanced the standard of loot-
ball very materially in their section.

3 VU find the names of Auburn.
Georgia and Louisiana included
ii both the heavyweight and the vet
eran lists; and, accordingly, we might
. xpect to see them all taking high
rank as a result of their season’s play
Wit '• Auburn taking first place.
Georgia second and Louisiana tied for
; tird, it needs only to be said that all
iree of these teams lived up to the
measure of their responsibilities and
made excellent use of both their phys-
a! strength and their experience.
The Commodores are found among
• heavyweight u but in the prim* r
.ass when it came to individual
knowledge of the game at the outset
«*f the sen son. With good coaching,
we might reasonably have expected of
Vj lerl team to find them
.-•uiiewherc down about the middle of
rhe ranking at the close of the jubiW.
w a mailer of fact,’though, we note
their location to be a tie for third
v. ith two other teams. This is dob-.g
better than their followers had a right
in expect, and thus tjiev r. asured up
to considerably more than their full
obligation, and their season may w- d
be characterized as having been an
eminently successful one.
But if this is true of Vanderbilt,
• v much more so is it true of the
Tech team, for here we have an
eleven that is found in the last divi
sion of both the weight and expe
dience classifications. A couple of
’ine-ups of the Tech team during the
reason did average slightly above 16b.
though never much more, while piost
Of their playing was dofte rather un-
1 - !■ that figure than over it. As for
ihe experience end. it needs only to
be pointed out that 28 men saw work
iu varsity games during tlie season,
' hile only six of these had ever ap
peared in a varsity line-up previous
10 this season. From this point of
view it would appear that the Tech
team has again deserved just a lit
tle more than most any other South-
y rn team 1 of the season.
This view is further supported by
materially in
and have given the other teams of
tiieir vicinity a standard of play to
pattern after.
Georgia's team was high grade and
about on a par with her elevens of the
preceding two years. Their fine game
against the strong Virginians shows
the class of ball to which we are at
taining in this neighborhood. While
the Red and Black loses several of its
stars, the uuantity and excellence ot
the remaining material are such as
to insure the Athenians another team
next year of at least equal rank with
that of the past couple of years.
Vanderbilt. I consider, will be right
in the lists again next year with a
team that will make Auburn hustle to
the limit if she wishes to retain her
title.
This is not to say that'there will
not be othei teams that will give
them both a run. Still I believe the
Commodores are the real dark horses,
for the reason that the men she will
have next year all received varsity
coaching and varsity experience this
past season. It will be an almost vet
eran organization, and it will have
the necessary weight. It already has
that.
While the Vanderbilt stuff was very
raw and green to start with this sea
son. it can not be denied that' it came
with a tremendous rush the last quar
ter—and if it could do so well against
Auburn’s old guard and against Se-
wanee’s more seasoned aggregation,
we may look for it to start off in 1914
with a rip and a roar that will make
them favorib s almost over Auburn
right from the first week. Watch
Florida and Citadel started the sea
son weakly, but Doth caught a fine
stride before the race was half run
and finished with good teams and
with colors flying.
Mercer met with misfortune from
first to last. They were lacking in
material and, unfortunately, their
spirit seemed also run down a oit.
Everybody sympathizes with the Bap
tists, and everybody would like to
see them get together and come along
in the running. Mayhap they will
next year. Here’s hoping.
Tulane fared not quite so well as
in 1912. It is a difficult matter,
somehow, for the New Orleans insti
tution to get going good. In fact, it
always is Uifiicult in a big city. Sec
how many years it took Harvard io
get together to where she could beat
Yale or Princeton. 1 well recall how
long it took us at Pennsylvania to
get sufficient concentration on our
athletics to hold our own with the
country colleges. Tt took many years
for Vanderbilt to do the same thing,
nnd it has taken Tech years and
years to get to the point where she
could say she hud a standard to
maintain. Tulane’s time will also
come some of these days.
it is quite possible for your opponent
to advance his standards also. And
yet you may be able to go at a taster
clip than he, and to gain markedly
on him. even if still behind in the
race at any given point.
These two teams started off the
season in high hopes. They had ma
terial and coaches and spirit. They
were willing to work hard, and they
had traversed the lane of defeat so
long that it seemed to both its turn
ing must surely be close at hand.
Now. at the season’s close, they are
possibly somewhat discouraged. But
they need not be, nor should they be.
Besides making admirable scores
against weaker opponents the \ ol-
unteers held Sewanee and Vander
bilt closer than ever, and gave Ala
bama a fine run of it. Is not that
doing tilings? I think so.
Clemson held Auburn well, turned

WEST POINT, N. Y., Dec. 6.-Cadet
Vernon E. Prichard, of the second class,
has been elected captain of next year’s
Army football team.
Prichard has played quarterback oti
the team for two seasons and got in
every game except one on the Army's
schedule this season. His brilliant for
ward passing, spectacular open field
running and excellent generalship have
made him one of the season’s leading
quarterlmeks. He is 22 years old and
was admitted to West Point from the
Fleventh Congressional District of Iowa
in June, lull.
The story has often been tola aoout
Connie Mack endeavoring to trade
Catcher Schaftg for Pitcher '
Green, a Yankee recruit, but it is not
generally known that Pitcher Bob
Shawkey was practically forced upon
the lean leader of the world s cham
pions. ,, . .
Shawkey was tipped oft to Jonnn>
Evers, manager of the Cubs. Manager
Dunn, <*f Baltimore, in fact, was the one
who urged Fivers to bu> his right-
hander, out Evers bethought bin# that
Connie Mack had an interest in the
Ba'timore team. So he mused thusly:
“No manager in the country is in
greater need <*f pitchers than Connie
Mack. Now. if this man Shawkey is so
I good, why does not Connie Mack take
dim? If Shawkey is riot good enough
I f«.r the Athletics. I don’t think he is
good enough for tlie Cub^ I'll pass
| lifYn up.”
No other big league manager seemed
to care for the Baltimor* p.:<-her, and
I finallv when Mack saw that Shawkey
I might go for the draft price of $2,500.
Iu- decided to pull him over t<* Phila
