THREE QUARTERS SCORELESS
A. and M, Puts Over a Touchdown
and a Field Goal in the
Last Period.
By \V. A. Cunningham.
(Coach Georgia Football Team.)
A THENS, GA., Oct. 31.—Missis-
slppi A. anil M. earned a vic
tory, 9 to 0, over the Red and
Black here this afternoon before a
fine crowd, which enjoyed a close and
reasonably well-played contest £hat
went scoreless up to the final period.
Mississippi deserved to win, by rea
son of superior fighting, and because
that team had the punch when in
scoring distance, while Georgia was
unable to make good any of her sev
eral opportunities.
The game started with Georgia re
ceiving the kick-off. The Athenians
could not gain through the heavy
Mississippi line, and, after trying the
ends without luck, resorted to punt
ing. The ball was in Georgia terri
tory most of this quarter, except in
one instance when Paddock got a
forward pass on the Mississippi 10-
yard line. Right there the attack
failed The Mississippi line held
solidly, another forward pass failed,
and Georgia’s best chance of scoring
was gone.
Georgia brisked up in the second
period, and Mississippi was on the
defensive most of that quarter. The
filed and Black could do nothing with
the heavy line and steady defensive
work of its opponents’ ends, and that
quarter also ended without scoring.
The third quarter was the most
evenly balanced of the game, the
ball swinging back and forth, most
of the time near midfield, with Geor
gia’s pun,ts occasionally reaching well
into Mississippi territory.
In the fourth quarter Mississippi
recovered a fumble in Georgia’s sec
tion of the field and rushed over a
touchdown, mainly by reason of Mc
Arthur's splendid running with the
oval. The trial for goal failed. Con
sistent rushing by Mississippi later
gave Noble a chance to drop-kick
a field goal from the 35-yard line; an
excellent bit of work.
Both teams tired rather quickly by
reason of the heat, which was ex
cessive for football. Paddock and
Henderson were Georgia’s star per
formers, whale Wells, McArthur, Kim
ball and Noble shone for Mississippi.
Many forward passes were tried by
both sides, usually being incomplete.
The punting by both teams was ex
cellent, and the ends got down the
field so well that no spectacular re
turns were possible.
The summary includes: Touch
down, McArthur; goal from field,
Noble. Quarters—15 minutes. Of
ficials—Vaughn Blake (Vanderbilt),
referee; McAllister (Tennessee), um
pire; Robbins (Merger), head lines
man.
Yale Uses 25 Players
Beating Colgate, 49-7
NEW HAVEN, CONN., Oct. 31—Yale
used 25 men to-day against Colgate and
ran up a score of 49 to 7, the visitors
getting their lone touchdown and goal
in the third period, when Coach H inkey
had followed the original custom of
sending the entire Yale second eleven
against the outclassed Colgate team.
Colgate made its tally on straight
football, smashing through Yale’s rush
line until the 6-yard line was reached,
and then pushing Robinson through on
the fourth down. Yale scored almost at
will in the first period, and after piling
up a lead of 25 points rushed a small
army of substitutes into the fray. The
first eleven was sent back In the fourth
period to prevent another Colgate
touchdown.
Smith's Broken Leg
Will Not Deter Him
BOSTON, Oct. 31.—X-ray photos of
Red Smith’s broken right leg showed
that the original diagnosis or Drs. Ca
sey and Kennedy was correct. The
fibula was found fractured and the tibia
broken and split. The laceration of the
tendons over the ankle may proye even
more serious than the broken bones.
Dr. Casey expects Smith, who is the
regular third baseman of the World's
Champion Braves, to recover the full
use of his leg. He is basing his hopes
largely on the case of Harry Lumley,
the Brooklyn player who broke his ankle
eight or nine years ago. and experienced
no permanent ill effects. Lumley is still
playing baseball.
Mack Beats Griffith
To Crack Shortstop
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.— Connie
Mack has beaten Clark Griffith to it
again. A few' days ago it was an
nounced that Griffith had obtained Sam
McConnell, a local boy, who played sen-,
sational ball at shortstop for the Robe-
ling. X'. J., team, of the Delaware River
League, this summer. But Griffith,
however, has another guess coming as
to McConnell, for he has signed an Ath
letic contract and will go South with the
Mackmen next spring.

Tigers Held to 7-7
Draw by Williams
PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 31.—Wil
liams scared the Tigers to-day as they
have not been scared this season and
held them to a 7 to 7 tie. The visitors
scored in the first few minutes of play
and with boundless pluck and speed
held the heavier Princeton eleven with
out a tally until the last four minutes
of the game. The Williams backs were
like eels and slipped through the Tigers
until the latter seemed butter-fingered.
The game abounded in old-style foot
ball and most of the gains were made
on line plunges and open field runs.
Notre Dame Romps

NOTRE DAME, Oct. 31.—Notre Dame
defeated Haskell Institute here to-day,
21 to 7. In the second quarter Berg
man took the ball in a criss-cross play
and ran 35 yards for a touchdown’. In
the third quarter Bergman received a
punt and tore down the field 85 yards
for another score. Three minutes later
Dutch repeated this performance from
the 70-yard line. In the last quarter
fumbles gave the ball to Haskell on
Notre Dame’s 25-yard line and they
rushed it' over for a score.

YOST’S MEN FIGHT GAMELY
Grand Plunging by Wolverine
Backs Threatens Crimson
Goal Line Many Times.
By Damon Runyon.
C AMBRIDGE, MASS., Oct. 31.—
Those two strong men we
have been hearing so muen
I about lately, who were to stand face
! to face, at the meeting of the East
and West were Identified early this
afternoon They are Messrs. Maul-
j betsch, of Michigan, and “Tack”
.Hardwick, of Harvard, and the score
at the present writing is 7 to 0 In fa-
! vor of the latter.
That score represents about the
j least thrilling incident of a wonder-
! ful battle in the Harvard stadium to
day, when “Hurry Up” Yost's team
i from the University of Michigan lost
to the champions of the Eastern foot-
, ball world.
It represents a touchdown by the
! inevitable “Tack” Hardwick. It rep-
I resents victory for Harvard in the
first great meeting of the football
: giants of the East and West; but
' beside the march of Maulbetsch. the
Michigan back, in the third period, it
was almost incidental.
Beaten but Not Disgraced.
The Michiganders were beaten, but
I they were not disgraced. Supposed
! to be badly crippled and half expect
ing to %e whipped by a large score
! the Wolverines made a marvelous
j fight both offensively and defensive-
1 ly. “Hurry-Up” Yost himself, who
is rarely surprised by anything that
i happens in football, probably was
I astonished at the way his team
fought against the Eastern cracks.
Read a running account of the
game, and follow play by play. That
I will give you an idea of the prowess
of Maulbetsch and shed considerable
; light on the work of “Tack” Hard
wick. Maulbetsch and Hardwick are
I both big men in the football world to-
| night.
Twice it looked as if Michigan
would- surely cross the Harvard goal
| line. Once, had their rush toward
I the Crimson posts been successful, it
! would have meant the first punch in
j the fight. The failure of a trick play
to carry through lost them that golden
opportunity. They had tried the
same trick before and it had star
tled the Harvard men, but the next
time the Crimson warriors were
watching for it.
Looked the Last Punch.
Again, Inter on in the game, the
Michiganders rushed the ball to Har
vard’s door with the mighty Maul
betsch as their battering ram, only
to lose' another chance by a narrow
margin. Maulbetsch gained enough:
1 ground against Harvard to bury a
i German army corps; but always that
last final finishing touch was lack
ing. Only a few of the trick plays
for which “Hurry-Up” Yost is fa-j
mous, were attempted by the Michi- i
ganders, and only a few times did j
Harvard resort to the open game.
It was just a terrific tussle between
two apparently evenly matched teams
along old familiar lines and when the
game was over the Harvard follow
ing snake-danced across the field and
tossed their hats over the Michigan
goal with a lot of respect.
At 2:30 o’clock the Michigan squad
rushed through the north gates and
the cheering section in both stands
gave the boys a welcome. The Wol
verines were a trim looking lot In
their blue sweaters and nifty mole
skins. Splawn went to the center of
the field and began taking practice
shots at the north goal. A moment
later Harvard’s big squad came rush
ing in and the west stand gave a
thundering cheer.
There were about 30,000 persons in
the stadium when the whistle sent
the teams rushing in.
Wolverines Start Fast.
The story of that first period is a
story of an almost continuous Mich
igan march toward the Harvard goal
from the very kick-off.
In the first ten minutes Michigan
pressed forward 27 yards through the
Crimson lin<# by the driving of the
Wolverine backs before the lean-leg
ged Splawn made his first punt.
Francke got the ball, but was im
mediately downed. Then Francke
flung himself at the Wolverine cen
ter only to drop the ball. It was re
covered by Michigan, but the blue-
sweatered lad who kicked it from
Francke's fumble also dropped It. It
was recovered by another Michigan
man and the Wolverines followed the
recovery with a slight gain through
the line, only to be penalized for
holding.
Crimson Line Yields.
Hughitt punted and Logan caught
the ball, but three Michigan men
slammed through the Crimson battle
front at the same moment and were
on top of Logan in a bunch. Francke
punted to Hughitt and the ball be
longed to Michigan on her own 47-
yard line. It was from this point
that Michigan drove along to what
seemed a certain score.
Splawn* tried an end run, but was

LOSERS PLAY RAGGED GAME
Curry Makes Commodores’ Lone
Touchdown in Third Quarter
From Forward Pass
N ASHVILLE, TENS., Oct. 31.-
Displaying a diversity of at
tack that completely bewilder
ed the Vanderbilt defense, and an
offensive strength that hammered the
Commodore line to pieces. Virginia
scored an easy victory over the Com
modores, 20 to 7.
Vanderbilt was outplayed at ever> v
stage of the game. Virginia scored
each of her three touchdowns on
steady marches down the field, the
powerful rushes of Gooch, Mayer and
Sparr hurling the Vanderbilt defense
aside.
In the third period, Vanderbilt
showed a complete reversal of form,
and after receiving the ball on their
own 10-yard line were never checked
until a short forward pass from Cody
to Curry had planted the oval be
hind the Virginia goal line. The pass
was made from a fake drop-kick
formation and caught the Virginia
defense napping. Cody kicked an
easy goal.
First Touchdown for Sparr.
In the first and second periods.
Virginia swept the Commodores off
their feet, but were twice checked
in tlie shadow of the Vanderbilt goal.
Sparr hurled himself through the
line for Virginia’s first touchdown.
Barker kicked goal. Once Virginia
lost the ball on a fumble on the 5-
yard fine.
After scoring her first touchdown
the Virginia men began a steady
march down the field, hammering the
Vanderbilt line and circling the ends
almost at will. After u series of
straight-line plunges Sparr battered
his way through for the second
touchdown. Barker missed the punt
cut, and lost the trial for goal.
Gooch in Long Runs.
The first touchdown, which came
in the last quarter, was made pos
sible through the sensational runs of
Gooch, who eluded tackier after tack
ier In a beautiful 30-yard sprint
around Vanderbilt’s left end. With
a clear field for a touchdown, he was
downed by Currv. Sparr carried
the ball to the 1-yard line. Mayer
went through center for a touchdown.
Barker kicked goal.
Curry Stars for Losers.
Vanderbilt's single touchdown re
sulted from almost superhuman ef
forts by Quarterback Curry, who
repeatedly dashed through the Vir
ginia lines for steady gains in the
third period.
Though the gains were short, they
were consistent. His work was the
brightest feature of Vanderbilt’s play,
which was ragged defensively and
erratic when the Commodores had
the ball.
A 25-yard gain on the split play
by Carman, followed by a sensation
al 30-yard run bv Curry' in the open
ing minutes of the second period
carried the ball to Virginia’s 1-yard
line. The Virginians’ defense stif
fened and in four attempts the Com
modores failed to make the coveted
distance.

Herrmann and Ban
Convene to Discuss
Federal Situation
CHICAGO, Oct. Si.—Garry Herr-
mann, chairman of the National Com
mission, and President Ban Johnson,
of the American League, held a con
ference to-day in the latter’s office.
The former arrived here this morning
from Cincinnati and within a short
time after his arrival went into ses
sion with the executive of the Amer
ican League. What the purpose of the
meeting was neither one would say.
Herrmann’s coming here was con
sidered rather mysterious in view of
the fact that Johnson announced only
the other day that he would have nis
magnates together in a gathering here
next week. It is thought possible that
he came to inform Johnson of what
the National League had decided to
do regarding the Federal League, it
is also more than probable that he has
come to confer with the head of the
Junior major league regarding a peace
compact with the Federal League, but
he denied having that information.
President Johnson announced re
cently that he planned to attend th“
meeting of the minor leagues in
Omaha November 10. and it was said
that Herrmann came here to dis
cuss with him what action is to be
taken by the commission and the ma
jor leagues when they arrive here.
“I can rfot discuss what will be done
at Omaha next month,’’ said Herr
mann. “Mr. Johnson and I may talk
about the meeting, but we have not.t-
ing arranged at present. There are so
many things going on in baseball
these days that we are likely to talK
about most anything. There is no use
of bringing up that peace question
again, for it is known that Presidents
Tener and Johnson do not approve of
it, and say there will be no compact
drawn up with the Federals.”

fight. Both teams fought every Inch

served special credit in trouncing the
Americus team
Maroons and Badgers
Fail to Score a Point
MADISON, WIS., Oct. 31.—The
Maroons and Badgers fought a des
perate 0-to-0 tie at Camp Randall this
afternoon. The game was 0*11 of sur
prises. The vaunted offense of Clr-
i eago was crushed by the stone-wall
1 line of Wisconsin. The spectacular
forward passes which it was believed
would carry the Maroons to victory
were tried time afer time, but it was
usually a Badger warrior who received
the ball.
The despised Maroon defense really
shone. It was just as strong as that
boasted by Wisconsin, and the for
wards were considered the strength
of the Badger team. Neither Chicago,
nor Wisconsin could gain consistently,
and therein lies the story. Both de
fenses were magnificent, but they
might have played twelve instead of
four periods and neither would have
scored. f
The two quarterbacks. Russell and
Bellows, were the individual stars.
Tennessee Wallops
Chattanooga, 67 to 0
KNOXVILLE, TENN. Oct. 31.—
Tennessee outclassed Chattanooga In
every department of the game to-day
defeating them 67 to 0. A number of
subs were used by winners in the!
last part of the game. Tennessee was
able to make but one touchdown In
each of the first two quarter®, but
the visitors lost heart and wind and
could not hold the terrific onslaught
of Tennessee. Two of Chattanooga’s
best players were out of the game.

(Coach Tech Football Team.) w
Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold.”
[ In place of “Assyrian ’ write “Tiger,” and in place of
fold put Hornet’s Hive, and you’ll have the answer
to what followed.
If ever there was a hair-raising game of football played in
Atlanta that could compare for beauty, science, thrills, fierce fight
ing and dogged determination on both sides, from first to last,
with that between Sewanee and
Tech, I would be glad to have
the information imparted.
Tech won. 20 to 0.
Never within my experience did
two teams try harder or with
better sustained effort; never was a
game cleaner fought or freer from
all objectionable features. The in
terference of both teams was superb,
while both ran with the fury of a
cyclone on every play. Player after
player on each side succumbed to
the fierceness of the conflict and had
to be replaced. Both teams played
with astonishing speed for any kind
of a day, but particularly for so hot
a day as was yesterday. But neither
team wavered for an instant. Sig
nal after signal would come rattling
out as though the game were just
beginning; a bare instant's #>rius»e,
and- back would com' 1 the ball again
as though the only object of each
must be the wearing down and out
of the opposition.
Fast Work!
A record kept of the game shows
that Tech made 97 plays in 34 min
utes—an average of 4.04 to the min
ute; while Sewanee pulled off 77
plays in 36 minutes of possession of
the ball. The total of 174 plays made
by both teams is. dear reader, a vast
number for any game.
The large crowd In attendance
thoroughly enipyed the great contest,
and the fine plays on both sides were
liberally applauded. Perhaps the most
enjoyable feature of the entire game
was* Its absolute freedom from any
thing but the very cleanest of play,
both teams conducting themselves up
to the very highest standard of
sportsmanship.
Sewanee Was Oatplayed.
There probably will be no denial of
a plain statement that when all is
said it remains a fact that Sewanee
was outplayed in almost every de
partment. Their ends probably got
down field under bunts better than
Tech’s, and they fought as courage
ously as the Jackets, but there the
comparis)n ended. Charge as they
would, their line buckled under the
ramming of Senter and Goree, their
ends crashed and broke all day in
vain against the solid phalanx of
Tech's magnificent interference, their
tacklers would now and then fail to
hold the wild Tech runners,* and at
times the body .lid grow weak against
the fearful pounding of the Tech
siege guns, no matter if the spirit
still was strong.
Patten put* up another of his grand
exhibitions of crashing offense, while
his defensive play also show*ed stea
dy improvement. Carpenter got
into the game better than any time
this season, and Morrison gave sig
nals in a manner that brought joy
to th« heart of the Tech '•"Snorters.
Not a man on the team but played
better than was known to be in him.
Fielder a Great Star.
But when all has been said about
the rest, a special meed of praise
must be handed to Captain Fielder.
“Cap” has been worried to some ex
tent by his cantnincy, and his own
play has also suffered by having to
give the signals, because both Mor
rison and Johnston have been out of
the game so much; but to-day he
wisely let them do the worrying
about that part of the day’s pro-
eedings and buckled right down to
his own game, and you may h^lieve
ie, friend, that boy showed all of us
nee more how he used to play the
year ago—only more, much more
o. Yesterday he caught punts again
-in his old time style; yesterday he
ran with the ball like a comet and
lunged when tackled so there was no
chance to throw him for a loss: yes
terday he interferred as never be
fore. and the way he boxed Sewanee s
end and tackle was great. Fielder
has found himself again.
Tech Started Fast.
As for the story of the game, it j
would be interesting in detail, but it
must be enough to say that Tech re
ceived the first kick-off, and started
