NntAH ILL bringing up father F t By GEORGE M’MANUS 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 Wide to withdraw from the S.

Covey to- '■*y accepted the challenge issued by ay Gould for a match for the world's ennis title. The match will probably : ' p played in Philadelphia in March. By O. B. Keeler. 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.

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.
