7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN* AND NEWS. ()tticially He'sCapt. Brieklev, but the Public Will Continue to Call Him Harvard’s Team €0¥ffiSD & BRINGING UP FATHER By GEORGE M’MANUS First-Year Men May Take Part in Track, Basket Ball and Baseball. N By Jack Nye. 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.

Keeler. ~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.

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. * t * O THERWISE there are but few bantams wno shape un as 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 bout we will know more about him. DR.
