Displayed Markedj I mprovement---Declares Jackets Should Be Formidable Next Fall. Ilcismuii [ xilE All-Southerns have been picked—each picker to his fan cy and the ranking of teams 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- r-png 170 stripped to the man and • r were Auburn. Vanderbilt, Lou- ,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, • idel. Mercer, Furman and Missia- ;*l'i College, 1 • veteran teams—those having r old men than new on the team— Louisiana, Auburn, Georgia, Ai. wma and Tennessee. \". .■ mixed teams—those whose mposition was about equally divided tween old and new players—were nanee.

A. ■ tiding to actual performnaces „';iins; other teams throughout the '.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 house is my 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.

Your friend. RANDOLPH ROSE. 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.

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. ,, . .
