ONE-YEAR RULE
BRINGING UP FATHER
By GEORGE M’MANUS
First-Year Men May Take Part in
Track, Basket Ball and
Baseball.
By Jack Nye.
N ashville, tenn., Deo. 26.—
That one-year residence rule,
as adopted at the recent meet
ing of the S. I. A. A. at Jacksonville
applies only to football is a fact not
generally known by the public. It is
the gTidlron game, hftwever, 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
lege sport*, provided they caui 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
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
by taking part in track or baseball
during hi* first season at college.
Until the S. L A. A. rules thta a play
er can have h1s four years of football,
in addition to other sports, the one-
year 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
and others are now wondering who
will be the representative of- the local
institution at the next annual meet
ing of the B. T. 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,
but 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 w r ith 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.
• * •
I 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 ja. probability that
the S. I. A. A. wfil, 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
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-yeap rule, but considering the
vastly greater number of students
Coach 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
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*
* * •
T'HE 1^14 football season will prob-
* ably determine Vanderbilt’s final
siand on the one-year rule, and If it
Is found to be too big a handicap
there is a strong probability that
steps will be taken to withdraw from
its ranks. Vanderbilt has reached a
stage of development in football and
other sports w'here it is not depend
ent on the R. I. A. A. and would have
little trouble In fixing a strong sched
ule without it; in fact, the chief
drawback would bA 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 would not be
wanting for just as good a game, if
not better, should the Commodores
decide to withdraw from the S. I.

It Is Mr. Hirsig’s Move
+«4-

+ •+
Directors Uphold Bill Schwartz
By O. B. Keeler.
T HIS being: the Morning: After,
and feeling that way about it,
we will, now consider briefly
the caare 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 rired 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. HPRSIG counters with the in
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 r e-
mained standing in the middle of the
track as 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? v

AS we get it. the directors clam
•Ls- 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, 8 s 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 lie :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 the row,
- rv and passing the technicalities,
most of the reports agree that Presi
dent Hirsig crossed Bill Schwartz ot
least twice by swapping players with
out his knowledge, and against hi3
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

Schwartz isn't looking,
* * *
DI'T it would be an Innovation for
LJ 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.

E fficiency is the thing that
count* in these modern
days of figuring everything
on a percentage basis. And there
is no good reason why the fight
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 we say that a
man gels 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 bs.
• • *
N OW, if you classified the men
of each division of the
weights according to thij, 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 ringsteTS 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.
* * *
T HIS is a stifr test, this thing
of making a man *how that
he is game and aggressive and at
the same time consistent. It's the
acid test. Let’s peer at the ban
tamweight class. There’* a cham
pion there that can bh said to
have everything, for Johnny Cou-
lon is the ideal fighter when he
Is right and well. So la his chief
rival in the division. Kid Wil
liams, of Baltimore. The pair il

and Herman, the Peoria battler.
All three if 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. 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 ’Peanuts”
Schierberl, of Illinois; Knockout
Mars, of Cincinnati, and Harry
Tracey, the young New Yorker,
who recently gave Charley White
the toughest kind of a battle,
Then we are almost done among
the 122-pounders.
• * *
TT’S hard to get many light-
A weights that come up to the
100 per cent efficiency test. I
would even classify Ad Wolgast,
an ex-champion, 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 Reecher, of the East, as well
as 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 little men in the busi
ness. Naturally we would like
wise hftve to give Jack Britton,
of Chicago, and Peddle Murphy, of
Boston, a high rating as well.

T HE welters don't call for much.
If Mike Gibbons is one, then
we wmuld put him /It the top
without mentioning the misfit
McFarland, who will not confess
that he is one thing or another.
He isn’t ■ “latent, at any rate;
neither "'is he shown any great
degre < . lgr^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 at vul
him.
