First-Year Men May Take Part in

f ASHVILLE. TENN., Dec. 26N-
That one-year residence rule,
as adopted at the recent meet-
mu of the S. I. A. A. at Jacksonville
applies only to football is a fact not
generally known by the public. It is
lie gridiron game, however, that the
uigust body proposed to save from
:• temptation of professionalism
inti freshmen will,in no way be hfn-
lered from taking' part in other col
eg e sports, provided they can frame
in for the necessary points with our
friend. Mr. Carnegie.
However, there can be no getting
iround the fact that the rule will af-
>ct these other sports indirectly, for
m case of a good football man com
ing to the university it is hardly
probable that he would be allowed to
mock a year off his gridiron career
*\ taking part in track or baseball
luring his first season at college.
I'ntil the S. I. A. A. rules thta a play
er c an have his four years of football,
n addition to other sports, the one-
vear rule is sure to keep some stars
■ff the baseball and track teams dur-
ng their first year in» school.
• * *
\ OT at all pleased with the one-
year rule, the Vanderbilt alumni
nd others are now” wondering who
will be the representative of the local
nstitution at the next annual meet
ing of the S. 1. A’. A., to be held at
Lexington. Ky., as Dr.' Dudley will
u all probability not attend another
n account of ill health.
Several men have been mentioned,
uut the general impression is that
Vanderbilt’s affairs could not be
[dat ed in better hands than those of
'.harles O. Trabue, one of her most
loyal alumni and chairman of the
games committee. Mr. Trabue is the
logical mart for the position, being
well acquainted with the rules of the
S. I. A. A. and having always stood
for the highest and best in college
athletics. It is stated that there is a
strong probability that he will be
chosen to attend the next meeting and
guard the interests of Vanderbilt.
* * *
I N view of the decided handicap
* placed on the Commodores by the
Tie-year residence rule in their games
with Virginia, North Carolina and
Michigan, there is a probability that
me S. I. A. A. will exempt from the
rule when playing teams outside of
the association. This favor was
^ranted to Texas A. & M. at the
lacksonviLe meeting and it can not
bo said that the rule injured that in
stitution as much as it did Vander
bilt. Of the three teams named above
Michigan is the only one to have a
>ne-year rule, but considering the
vastly greater number of students
1 'oach Yost has to choose from, Van-
derbiltyis in need of every opportun
ity for maintaining the team’s
strength in order to be able to meet
the Anp Arbor eleven on anywhere
near an equal footing.
Virginia has no one-year rule, nor
lias Carolina, and this fact is sure to
"iid them in the coming games with
Vanderbilt.
* * *
CHE 1914 football season will prob-
1 ably determine Vanderbilt’s final
'■rind on the one-year rule, and if it
is found to be too big a handicap
there is a strong probability that •
steps will be taken to withdraw from J
its ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a ■
stage of development in football and j
other sports where it is not depend
ent on the S. I. A. A. and would have
ittle trouble in fixing a strong sched
ule without it; in fact, the chief
Irawback would be the annual meet
ing with Sewanee on Thanksgiving,
which has become a historic event in
1 he South, but it is certain that the
football public herb would not be
wanting for just as good a game, if
not better, should the Commodores
decide to withdraw from the S. I.

~aH1S being the Morning After,
and feeling that way about 11.
we will now consider briefly
the case of Hirsig vs. Schwartz.
As we get this tumultuous disagree
ment. the present status is mat four
of the six directors of the Nashville
ball club have met and in solemn
conclave assembled have fired the
Honorable Hirsig bodily, retaining
Mr. Manager Schwartz in his regular
position, and naming a new president
in the person of Clyde Shropshire, for.
merly vice president.
Hefgh-ho!
* l •
M R. HITISIG counters with liie .in
sertion that he can't be fired in
jny such way, which recalls the state
ment of the passenger who was
chucked off a passenger train after
an argument about his fare, and v e-
mained standing in the middle of the
track as the train departed, insisting
that the conductor couldn't put him
off.
"He, was the hardest man to con
vince 1 over saw,” said the conductor.
Mr. Hirsig appears to be a pretty
fair running mate—what?
"THE OLD RELIABLE”
REMEDYfor
AT DP UGGISTS.OR TRIAL BOX BY MAIL 60,
KROM PLANTER 93 HEKRYST. BROOKLYN.BY.
-•BEWARE OF IMITATIONS —
AS we get it, the directors claim
that they constituted a majority
of the directorate, and as such had
the power to direct the club.
Mr. Hirsig claims that the .action
was illegal and will not stand in the
courts, as the oy-laws of the club
provide that any meeting of the di
rectors must be called by the secre
tary one day prior To the meeting.
Inasmuch as the secretary was fa
vorable to Mr. H., and the rebellious
directors had to elect a new one in
the person of Chris Haury, it appears
that the secretary couldnjt very well
i have called the meeting before he was
elected, and he couldn’t have be n
elected until the meeting was called.
Therefore Mr. Hirsig would appear
to have a rather better position than
the obstinate passenger aforemen
tioned.
AS to the real merits of the row,
■ r * and passing the technicalities!
most of the reports agree that Presi
dent Hirsig crossed Bill Schwartz at
least twice, by swapping players with
out his knowledge, and against his
plans and wishes.
If that is true, we should sav that
Mr. Hirsig has been behaving entire
ly too much like Garry Herrmann,
which, in our estimation, is a scath
ing rebuke, although It really is none
of our business, and, as we got Harry
Welchonce on some such kind of deal,
we oughtn’t to say unkind words ai
Mr. Hirsig.
He may slip us another .340 wallop
er one of these days, when Bill
Schwartz isn’t looking.
* * *
PL'T it would be an Innovation for
the directors of a club to take
up the side of a mere manager against
the president—and it might not be a
bad thing for the game, especially if
the manager had the merits of the are
gument.
With no wisli to kick into our good
friend Nashville's little domestic dis
agreement. we will await the outcome
with mterest.
And tas the True Sport says I ’may
the best man win.”

E fficiency is the thing that
counts in these modern
days of figuring everything
on a percentage basis. And there
is no good reason vvny the fight
ers should not be Classified in
much the same way that an em
ployer of huge numbers of men
classifies them—on an efficiency
basis. Suppose we say that a
man gets 100 per cent or the
limit of excellence, for the points
he shows in the ring. Trie trou
ble would be how to figure out
the points. Why not give him
33 1-3 per cent each for game
ness aggressiveness and consis
tency? These are the things that
make champions and cause cham
pions to hold their j bs.
• * *
N OW, if you classified the men
of each division of the
weights according to thi.-, how
many fighters would one find that
could be said to be 100 per cen*
efficient? Mighty few. on this ba
sis or any other, for the matter
of that. The chief thing that sticks
out when one attempts to get at
a list of efficient ringsters now
parading the rings of the country
is the surprisingly small size of
it. no matter how you may plan
to let a lot of them in on it.
* * *
T HIS is a stiftest, this thing
of making a man show that
he is game and aggressive and at
the same time consistent. It’s the
acid test. Dot’s peer at the ban
tamweight class. There’s a cham
pion there that can be said to
have everything, for Johnny Cou-
lon is the’ideal fighter when he
Is right and well. So is his chief
rival in the division. Kid Wil
liams, of Baltimore. Th< pair il
lustrate weiv on „both sides the
capable ring man.

the/ should. The best man in th**
Fast appears to be Johnny Solz-
bere - and of tiie rising young
customers for the iop rung of the
ladder in 1 he We. ’ w*» find
Frankie ‘’innetT of Rock Island,
and Herman, the Peoria battler.
All three « f thefh are p-ood boys
and certain to be heard of near
the top within the next year.
* * *
G ETTING up among the feath
ers one can not overlook the
champion of them all, Johnny Kli-
bane. Lately he has developed
the K. (), punch, and this, with
his other qualifications, makes
him almost an ideal leader of the
division. There are fev others.
We might include “Peanuts”
Sehierberl, of Illinois; Knockout
Mars, of Cincinnati, and Harry
Tracey, the young New Yorker,
who recently ga- e Charley White
the toughest k'nd of a battle.
Then we are almost done among
the 122-pounders.
* * *
IT'S hard to get many light-
* weights that cornu up to the
100 per cent efficiency test. I
would even classify Ad Wolgast,
an ex-champion. higher than
either Willie Ritchie or Tommy
Murphy. Right and good Wol
gast comes nearer being th* ideal
leader of a class than either of
them. We'd have to take in Wil
lie Beecher, of the East, as well
as such men as Pal Brown, of
Minnesota, who is row in Aus
tralia and fighting well, and Steve
Ketchel, of Chicago, one of the
greatest little men in the busi
ness. Naturallv we would like
wise h^.vt to give Jack Britfon.
of Chicago, and Eddie Murphy, of
Boston, a high rating as well.

T HE welters don’t call for much.
If Mike Gibbons is one, then
we would put him at the top
without mentioning the misfit
McFarland, who will not confess
that he is one thing or another.
He isn’t • -istent, at any rate;
neither he shown any great
degre • agr ,r essiveness of late.
Ray Bronson, now in Australia,
certainly is game an>' consistent,
and Mike Glover, the Eastern boy,
Is the best of them in th t sec
tion of the country. Eddie Han
lon, of this city, appears to have
the makings. Eddie meets .tkek
Robinson, a veteran at the game,
to-morrow night. id after this

him.
