Fust-Year Men May Take Part in
Track, Basket Ball and
Baseball.
By Jack Nye.
N ’ASHVILLE, TENN., Dec. US.—
That one-year residence rule,
as adopted at the recent meet-
■;g O! the S. r. A. A. at Jacksonville
c,plies only to football is a. fact noi
generally known by the public. It is
■,:e gridiron game, however, that the
, .gust 'body proposed to save from
!!■ temptation of professionalism
in,I treshmen will in no way be hin-
iiered from taking part in other voi
ce sports, provided they can frame
p for the necessary points with our
viend. .Mr. Carnegie.
However, there can be no getting
hround the fact that the rule will af-
■M, i these other sports indirectly, for
rise of a good football man eom-
g to the university it is hardly
rubable that lie would be allowed to
nock a year off his gridiron career
;.v taking part in track or baseball
..uring his first season at college.
I• util the S. T. A. A. rules thta a play
er rail have his four years of football,
addition to other sports, the one-
ear rule is sure to keep some stars
iff the baseball and track teams Gur
us’their first year in school.
Hirsig's Move
VTOT at all pleased with the one-
> year rule, the Vanderbilt alumni
nd others are now wondering who
ill be the representative of the local
institution at the next annual meet-
g of the S. I. A. A., to be held at
Lexington, Ky., as Dr. Dudley will
all probability not attend another
"M account of ill health.
Several men have been mentioned,
but the general impression is that
anderbilt’s affairs could not be
laced in oetter hands than those of
<'h&rles O. Trabue, one of her most
*yal alumni and chairman of the
games committee. Mr. Trabue is the
logical man for the position, being
well acquainted with the rules of the
s. r. 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
-hosen to attend the next meeting and
guard the interests of Vanderbilt.
♦ * *
] X view of the decided handicap
• placed on the Commodores by the
• iie-y car residence rule in their games
with Virginia, North Carolina and
Michigan, there is a probability that
te S. 1. A. A. will exempt from the
le when playing teams outside of
i :■© association. This favor was
granted to Texas A. & M. at the
Jacksonville meeting and it can not
•e said that the rule injured that in
stitution as much as it did Vander-
• ilt. Of the three teams named above
Michigan i' the only one to have a
• ne-year rule, but considering the
\astly greater number of students
oach Yost has to choose from, Van
derbilt is in need of every opportun
ity for maintaining the team's
strength in order to be able to meet
:he Ann Arbor eleven on anywhere
near an equal footing.
Virginia has no one-year rule, nor
has Carolina, and this fact is sure to
Hid them in the coming games with
Vanderbilt.
* * *
TFIK 1914 football season will prob-
• ably determine Vanderbilt's final
stand on the one-year rule, and if it
s found to be too big a handicap
'here is a strong probability that
steps will be taken to withdraw from
’>• ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a
stage of development in football and
•ther sports where it is not depend-
rit on the S. 1. A. A. and would have
i rle trouble in fixing a strong sched-
lle without it: in fact, the chief
raw hack would be the annual meet-
ng with Sewanee on- Thanksgiving,
which has become a historic event in
he South, but it is certain that tlie
football public here would not be
wanting for just as good a game, if
iot better, should the Commodores

ryAHIS being the Morning After.
I and feeling that way about it.
we will now consider briefly
the case of Hirsig vs. Schwartz.
As we get this tumultuous disagree
ment, the present status is that 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 now president
in the person of Clyde Shropshire, for
merly vice president.
Heigh-ho!
...
M R. HFRS1G counters vritli tne as
sertion that lie can't be lired in
any such way, which recalls the state
ment of Ihe passenger who was
chucked off a passenger train after
an argument about his fare, and re
mained standing in the middle of the
track as the train departed, InsUtirg
that the conductor couldn't put him
off.
• He was the harde st man to con
vince I ever saw.” said the conductor.
Mr. Hirsig appears to be a pretty
fair running mate—what?
“THE OLD RELIABLE 1 *
REMEDYforMEN
AT DRUSeieTS.ORTRIAL «0V By MAlLIOa
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.
Jfr. Hirsig claims that the action
was illegal and will not stand in the
courts, as the by-laws of the club
provide that any meeting of the di
rectors must he 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 appear*
that the secretary couldn’t very well
have called Ihe meeting before he was
elected, and he couldn’t hate 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.
* V *
AS to tile real merits of the row, 1
an d passing the ttehnicalitiej
most of the reports agree that Presi
dent Hirsig crossed Bill Schwartz jtj
least twice by swapping plat ers with
out his knowledge, and against his '
plans and wishes.
If that is true, tve should say that
Mr. Hirsig has been behaving entire
ly too much like Garry Herrmann,
which. In our estimation, is a scath
ing rebuke, althougii it really is none
of our business, and. as we got Harry
. Welclionce on some such kind of de.it,
w e oughtn't to say unkind words a;
Mr. Hirsig.
He raiiy slip us another ,34i. wallop
er one of these days, when B:l
Schwartz isn't looking.

Or I 1 would be an innovation for.
the director* of a club to ta ,:c
up the side of a mere manager again*
the president—and it might not bo a
bad thing for the game, especially 1:
the manager had the merit* of the ar
gument.

E fficiency is the thing th»t
counts in these modern
day s of figuring everything
on a percentage biisis. And there
is no good reason wny th#» figh:
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 wo say that .t
man gets 10U per rent o> the
limit of excellence, for the points
he shows in the ring. The trou
ble would be how to figure out
the points. Whj not give him
33 1-3 per cent each for game

N OW, if you classified the men
of each division of the

could be said to bo 100 per cen'
efficient? Mighty few. ort this ba
