THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Officially He’s Capt, Brickley, but the Public Will Continue to Call Him Harvard’s Team & 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. NO TIGER SHAKE-UP. RRTNCETON, Dec. 26.—It in denied tere that any shake-up is intended In the Tiger coaching system, which will frevall again next season in the usual form.

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? "THE OLD RELIABLE' REMEDYforMEN AT DRUGGISTS.OR TRIAL BOX BV MAILED.

Ail druggists. p 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.’’ Sporting Food SPORTING COMMENT FR08T MATCH MADE.

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. "THE VICTOR ’ DR.
