NE-YEflR HUE
First-Year Men May Take Part in
Track, Basket Ball and
Baseball.
By Jack Nye.
N ashville, tenn., Dec. 26.—
That one-year residence rule,
as adopted at the recent meet-
<HC of the S. I. A. A. at Jacksonville
applies only to football Is a fact not
generally known by the public. It Is
the gridiron game, however, that the
august body proposed to save from
the temptation of professionalism
• nd freshmen will in no way be hin
dered from taking part in other col-
ege sports, provided they can frame
up for the necessary points with our
friend, Mr. Carnegie.
However, there can be no getting
around the fact that the rule will af
fect these other sports Indirectly, for
1n 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
hv taking part In track or baseball
during his first season at college.
T nttl the S. I. A. A. rules thta a play
er can have his four years of football,
in addition to other sports, the one-
y»ar rule is sure to keep some stars
off the baseball and track teams dur
ing their first year In school.
• * •
N OT at all pleased with the one-
year rule, the Vanderbilt alumni
end others are now wondering who
will he 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
on account of Ill health.
Several men have been mentioned,
hut the general Impression is that
Vanderbilt's affairs could not be
placed in better hands than those of
Charles 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. 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.
* * •
T N 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. wit! exempt frbm 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
be 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-
borbilt is in need of every opportun
ity for maintaining the team’s
strength in order to be able to meet
the Ann Arbor eleven on anywhere
near an equal footing.
Virginia has no one-year rule, nor
has Carolina, and this fact is sure to
aid them in the coming games with
Vanderbilt.
• * *
The 1914 football season will prob-
* ably determine Vanderbilt’s final
siand on the one-year rule, and if it
s found tg be too big a handicap
!here is a strong probability that
steps will be taken to withdraw' from
its ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a
s’age of development in football and
other sports where it i-s not depend
ent on the S. I. A. A. and would have
little 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
the South, but it is certain that the
football public here w'ould not be
wanting for just as good a game, if
not better, should the Commodores
decide to withdraw from the S. I.
A. A.

It Is Mr. Hirsig’s
-1* • 'r
Directors Uphold Bill Schwartz
By O. B. Keeler.
rr^HIS being the Morning After,
I and feeling that way about It,
we will now consider briefly
the case of Hlrsig vs. Schwartz.
As we get this tumultuous disagree
ment. the present status is that four
of the six directors of the Nashville
ball chib have met and In solemn
conclave assembled have tired the
Honorable Hirsig bodily, retaining
Mr. Manager Schwartz in his regular
position, and naming a new president
in the person of Clyde Shropshire, for.
merl.v vice president.
Helgh-ho!
, * *
M R. HPRSIG 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 after
an argument about his fare, and re
mained standing in the middle of the
track ns the train departed, insisting
that the conductor couldn't put him
off.
"He was the hardest man to con
vince I ever saw." said the conductor.
Mr. Hirsig appears to be a pretty
fair running mate—what?

AS we get it, the directors claim
o that they constituted a majority
of the directorate, and as such had
the power to direct the club.
Mr. Hiralg 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 well
have called the meeting before he was
elected, and he couldn’t have been
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,
■ 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 scath
ing rebuke, although It really is none
of our business, and, as we got Harry
VVelchonce on some such kind of deal,
we oughtn't to say unkind words at
Mr. Hirsig
He may slip us another .340 wallop
er one of these days, when Bill
Schwartz isn't looking.
* * •
B UT 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 ar
gument.
With no wish to kick into our good
friend Nashville’s little domestic dis
agreement, we will await the outcome
with interest.
And (as the True Sport says ) may
the**est 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 wny the fight
ers should not he 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
ness, aggressiveness and consis
tency? These are the things that
make champions and cause cham
pions to hold their j hs.
• • *
N OW, if you classified the men
of each division of the
weights according to thi.i, 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 surprisingly small size of
it, no matter how you may plan
to let a lot of them In on it.
* * *
'"THIS is a stifi test, this thing
* of making a man «rhow that
he is game and aggressive and at
the same time consistent. It’s the
acid test. loot'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 w'hen he
Is right and well. So is his chief
rlvlal in the division. Kid Wil
liams, of ^Baltimore. The pair il
lustrate well on both sides the
capable ring man.
* * •
/^\THERWISE there are but few
bantu ms who shape uo as
they should. The beat man in the
East appears to be Johnny Solz-
bere- and of the rising young
customers for the top rung of the
ladder in the We. t we find
Frankie Ginnofc, 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 Kil-
bane. Irately he has developed
the K. O. punch, and this, with
his other qualifications, makes
him almost an ideal leader of the
division. There are few others.
We might include “Peanuts”
Schierberl, of Illinois; Knockout
Mars, of Cincinnati, and Harry
Tracey, the young New Yorker,
who recently gave 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, come up to the
100 per -cent efficiency test. I
would even classify Ad Wolgast,
an ex-ohamplon. higher than
either Willie Ritchie or Tommy
Murphy. Right and good Wol
gast comes nearer being tho 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 r.ow in Aus
tralia and fighting well, and Steve
Ketchel, of Chicago, one of the
greatest little men in the busi
ness. Naturailv we would like
wise hfive to give Jack Britton,
of Chicago, and Eddie Murphy, of
Boston, a high ratine as well.
* • *
T HE welters don't call for much.
If Mike Gibbon* 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 or • slstent. at any rate;
neither ' is he shown any great
degre < . igr^essiveness of late.
Ray Bronson, now’ in Australia,
certainly is game and 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 Jack
Robinson, a veteran at the game,
to-morrow night. id after this
bout we will know more al vut
him.
