7 THE ATLANTA (i E()'R(.« IAN ANT) NEWS 3NE-YEAR RULE bringing up father By GEORGE M’MANUS F F First-Year Men May Take Part in Track, Basket Ball and Baseball, By y Jack Nye. N ashville, tenx., Deo. 26.— That one-year residence rule, as adopted at the recent meet* ag 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 iig'ust body proposed to save from ihe temptation of professionalism and freshmen will in no way be hin dered from taking- part in other eol- ege sports, provided they can frame up for the necessary points with our friend, Air. Carnegie. However, there can be no getting around the fact that the rule will af fect these other sports indirectly, for in case of a. good football man com ing to the university it is hardly probable that he would be allowed to knock a year off his gridiron career In taking part in track or baseball during his first season at college. Until the S. L A. A. rules thta a play- r can have his four years of football, n addition to other sports, the one- , ear rule is sure to keep some stars off the baseball and track teams dur ing their first year in school. • * * \TOT at all pleased with the one- T> year rule, the Vanderbilt alumni mid others are now wondering who will be the representative of the local institution at the next annual meet ing of the S. I. A. A., to be held at Lexington, Ky., as Dr. Dudley will in all probability not attend another »n account of ill health. Several men have been mentioned, but the general impression is that Vanderbilt’s affairs could not be placed 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 man for the position, being well acquainted with the rules of the S. 1. A. A. and having always stood for the highest and best in college athletics. It is stated that there is a strong probability that be will be .chosen to attend the next meeting and guard the interests of Vanderbilt. * * * [ X view of the decided handicap * placed on the Commodores by the one-year residence'rule in their games with Virginia, North Carolina and Michigan, there is a probability that the S. I. A. A. will exempt from the rule when playing teams outside of the association. This favor was granted to Texas A. & M. at the Jacksonville meeting and it can not Oe 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 one-year rule, but considering the vastly 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 lie Ann Arbor eleven on anywhere iear an equal footing. Virginia has no one-year rule, nor has Carolina, and this fact is sure to • id them in the coming games with Vanderbilt. * * * THE 1914 football season will prob- * ably determine Vanderbilt’s finai si and on the one-year rule, and if it is found to be too big a handicap there is a strong probability that teps will be taken to withdraw from its ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a si age of development in football and 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 drawback would be the annual meet ing with Sewanee on Thanksgiving, which has become a historic event in ilie South, but it is certain that the football public here would not be wanting for just as good a game, if not better, should the Commodores decide to withdraw from the S. I. A. A. NO TIGER SHAKE-UP. PRINCETON, Dec. 26.—It is denied -ere that any shake-up is Intended In the Tiger coaching system, which will prevail again next season in the usual form.

OuJt It Is Mr. Hirsig’s Directors Uphold Bill Schwartz By 0. B. Keeler. T HIS being the Morning After, 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 new president in the person of Clyde Shropshire, for merly vice president. Heigh-ho! * * * M R. HFRSIG counters with the as sertion that he can't be fired in any such way, which recalls the state ment of the passenger who was chucked off a passenger train aftor an argument about his fare, and re mained standing in the middle of the track as the train departed, insisting that the conductor couldn't put him off. • He i as the hardest man to con vince i ■ ver saw,” said the conductor. Mr. Hirsig appears to be a pretty fair running mate—what!! REMEDYforMEN AT DBU3GIST8.0RTRIAL BOX BY MAILCO, FROM PLANTEN 93 HENRY ST. BROOKLYN.NY.- -beware OF IMITATIONS— a 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 by-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 couldn’t very wel! 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 Ihe row, ‘ rv 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 say that Mr. Hirsig has been behaving entire ly too much like Garry Herrmann, which, in our estimation, is a scuttl ing rebuke, although it really is none of our business, and, as we got Harr;. VVelchonce on some such kind of deal, we oughtn’t to say unkind words a. Mr. Hirsig. He may slip us another .340 wallop er one of these days, when. Bill Schwartz isn’t looking. * * * pi T it would be an innovation Tor the ui rectors of a r ub to take up the side of a mere manager againsi the president--and it might not be a bad thing for thp game, especially if the manager had the merits of the ar gument. With no wish to kick into our god! friend Nashville's liftlo domestic dis agreement, we will await the outcome with interest.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18 Tom O’Rourke o-day signed up Jack Britton, of Chi cago, and Billy Bennett, lightweight hampion of Ireland, to fight ten rounds efore the National sporting Club hers Monday night. After finishing its football sched ule ne\t year. Michigan will feel like a ball team that has been up against W aiter Jo rson. »'hrist> Alat hoti son. Chief Beic • r and Joe Wood in one series. By Ed W. Smith. E fficiency is the thing that counts in these modern days of figuring everything on a percentage basis. And there is no good reason wny the tight ens 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. The trou ble would be how to figure out the points. Why not give him 33 1-3 per cent each for game- ne«:«j, aggressiveness and consis tency V 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.u how many fighters would one find that could be said to be 100 per cent, 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 surprlsimrh small size of It, no matter how you may plan to let a lot of them In on ij. * * * T HIS is a Stiff test, this thing of making a man show that he is game and aggressive and at the same time consistent. It’s the acid test. Hot’s peer at the ban tamweight class. There's a cham pion there that can be said to have everything, for Johnny Tou lon is the ideal fighter when lie is right and well. So is his chief rival in the division, Kid Wil liams, of Baltimore. The pair il lustrate veil on both sid<s tiir capable ring man. * * * O THERWISE there are but few bantams who shape up as they should. The be»* man in the Fast appears lo L<- Johnny Sol/.- bere and of i}»«• rising younp customers for the tot* rung of Hie ladder in F; \\ (. \ we find Frankie Sinnet, of Rock island, and Herman, the Peoria battler. All three <*f them are rood 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. O, punch, and this, with his other qualifications, makes him almost an Ideal leader of the division. There are fev others. We might include “Peantits” Schierberl, of Illinois; Knockout Mars, of Cincinnati, and Harry Tracey," the young New Yorker, who recently ga-e Charley White the toughest kind of a battle, Then we are almost done among the 122-pounders. * * * IT'S hard to get many hght- 1 weights that come up to the J 00 per cent efficiency test. I would even classify Ad Wolgasl, an ex-champion, higher than either Willie Ritchie or Tommy Murphy. Right and good Wol- gasi comes nearer being th« ideal leader a class than either of them. We’d have to take In Wil lie Beecher, of the Fast, as well such men as Pal Brown, of Minnesota, who is now in Aus tralia and fighting well, and Steve Ketchel, of Chicago, one of the greatest litth men in the busi ness. Naturally we would like wise hyv* to give Jack Britton, of Chicago, iiid lOddle Murphy, of Boston, a high rating as well. * * • T HE welters don't call for much.
