Vsteran Recovers From Injuries in
Time to Drive Here—His Sec
ond Miraculous Escape of Year,
By Ed Danforth.
\HERH is & growing suspicion
I among horsemen that Mr. Ed
ward F, Geers, of Memphis, at
pome time or other, probably back in
the dawn of the seventeenth century
or thereabouts, slipped through on the
rall in that well-known Fountain of
Touth stake, in which, it will be re
membered, Colonel’ P, D. Leon was
caught by the flag. The family Bible
gays that “Pop” is somewhere beyond
the vale of 70, but a man who ~an be
Burled to the track bed in two races
in one season and come out from un
der the gdundln‘ hoofs of a fleld of
trotting horses, and still be there at
post timehhu undoubtedly had a dose
of the “Blixir of Life. Which, of
gourse, is another name for Grit, 100
per cent silica.
News dispatches of Wednesday said
that the dean of the Grand Circuit
reinsmen was in the stand at Colum
bus for the first time since his near
fatal spill of two weeks ago. This is
taken here to mean that “Pop” will
‘be sufficiently recavered by the time
of the Atlanta meeting during the
Boutheastern Fair to drive his horses
in the local events, And with the
announcement that Mr, Geers had
once again slipped one over on Fate,
interest in the October trots took on a
rosier tone, for it i{s known wherever
fast horseflesh is petted and pam
pered that “Pop” Geers can make a
mesting a success all by himse!f.
An Eventful bonr.
This year has probably been the
most eventful of the 45 years “Pop”
has spent in the sulky. At the open-
Ing show at Cleveland this spring he
‘was thrown in a spill and suffered in-
Juries that confined him in a hospital
for several weeks. In spite of the fact
that many sald he would never race
agalin, the old man came through, and
during the Kalamazoo meet lie took
the mount behind Napoleon Direet and
won the free-for-all pace. Two weeks
Pater, at Columbus, he drove the stal
llon a mile in better than two min
utes. It was the first time in his life
that “Pop” had ridden that fast. The
time was 1:59 3-4, and with the per
sonal record-breaking stunt “Pop”
added another free-for-all pace to his
credit,
It 18 a notable fact that at the
return engagement at Columbus, the
same track that witnessed his first
two-minute drive, Mr. Geers received
his second and most serious injury of
the vear. On September 21 the vet
eran driver went down in a mix-up on
the getaway turn. But a week later
he was back in the stand and wit
nessed his Napoleon Direct take an
other fast pacing battle. It is deemed
likely that Geers will drive at Lexing
ton and be fully recovered by the time
the horses come to Lakewood.
Many Hurt in 1916,
The present geason, the most nota
ble in point of speed records, has also
been marked by a great number of
distressing accidents. There was the
fatal injury to Curt Gosnell, at North
Randall, that robbed the track of a
mighty good trainer and driver, all
due to that shameful institution, the
hobbled pacer. Fred Jamison and
Harvey Ernest, both half-mile driv
ers, guffered serfous injuries, and I;(
the latter's spill the promising mare
Ima Jay, 2:09 1-4, was forced into re
tirement from injuries. OAdly enough,
all this happened on Ohio tracks.
Assurances have been recelved from
Scott Hudson by the fair manage
ment here that the purse races and
the Coca-Cola Cup for 2:00 pacers
have filled with the cream of the big
llne performers. The pacing stake
alone will prove a whole fair in itself,
as from all indications it should be
the fastest harness race ever held
Bouth of the Mason and Dixon line.
Napoleon Direct, Geers’ great wiggler,
has been punishing the free-for-allers
along the line this summer with dead-
Yy regularity, but there is Hal Boy,
Single 3. and Russell Boy, all siz
zlers who are capable of turning miles
close around the two-minute mark
any day In the week. |

For Next Big Bout
PORTLAND, OREG,, Sept. 30.—*“With
§290,000 already practically in our grasp,
and with the hopes that we will have
$350,000 before the year is out, Willard
is pre()&rlng for his next big fight some
time In November or December,” sald
Tom Jones, manager for the heavy
weight champion here the other day.
‘““We are now with a circus, and though
traveling in -tjrle. the long and short
sumps tell on Jess, but he is keeping
n trim and ecan get ready for any of
the big fellows within two weeks.
“We have under consideration now
several offers, but Fred Fulton, of Min
nesota, is the next logical apponent of
Willard.
“We expect to make a clean-up with
the fight, and the $300,000 would not in
clude the rights or royaltles on the pic
tures. Jess Is not giving out any so
called retirement talks, and won't for
some time."”
May Refuse Canada’sl
St ail Business,
eel Rail B
NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—1 n ordinary
times the statements made In the Ca
nadian press that the Dominion Gov
ernment might relax the duties on lim
portations of steel ralls because the Ca
nadian rail mills are filled with muni
tions business, of greater importance,
would be received with joy by steel In
! ,R‘,?(t thesé are not ordinary times, and
steel men say that it isn't so much a
question of Canada letting down the
bars on American ralls as one of filling
orders,
r)n:nenuc roads will be taken care of.
On this point there is no question. But
steel men are hoping that the roads will
confine their rail purchases to thelr
most pressing needs for 1917, Business
~«,."X and even now being refused Is
far more profitable than rail business
even at the advanced cost of the latter
product.

Tech Coach Writes Interesting

Candidates for Berths. I
T i
.
By J. W. Heisman,
Coach of Tech Eleven.
HE SUNDAY AMERICAN here
with presents the portraits of
three of the most promising
new recruits at Grant Wield this year,
They will undcubtedly make good
as athletes, or at all events they
lat present give every promise and in
dication of possessing the natural
'qualifications demanding of successful
athletes,
BILL FINCHER.
Bill Fincher is not unknown to At
lanta footfall fame, as he has been
‘ playing for several years as a star
lineman on the strong Tech Hi teams.
Last June he graduated from high
Bchool, and, as he lives in Atlanta
and desired to continue his engineer
ing studies, Georgia Tech was right
in line to claim him for its own. |
Bill is one of the best looking men
physically on the Tech squad today.
Easily six feet in height, he forces
the scale bar up even when it Teg
isters 190 pounds stripped, and every
ounce of this meat looks to be the
very best quality of muscle.
But football is not the only game
Bill plays. He has been a member
of the High School baseball and bas
ketball teams as well, playing the po
sition of second base with the former
and guard with the latter. This has
given him pretty good footwork for
so large a man, and also increased
quickness in his general movements.
In addition to the above sports
Fincher won points for his school
track team last spring in putting the
shot, at which event his great
strength is bound to tell.
All summer Bill has been survey
ing the mountains of North Georgia,
working hard in sunshine and storm,
gotting In condition to put forth the
effort of his life to make a place for
himself on the Tech team in his first
vear out, and there can be no denying
that at the present time he looms up
as a strong possibility. His youth
and lack of intercollegiate experience
will, of course, be somewhat against
him, as it Is against the chances of
any first-year man. The trouble with
most of these new men {s that they
don’t at all grasp the need of sus
tained effort on their part. They |
play a minute like the very dickens,
and then they rest two minutes, Pro
longed, persevering, incessant energy
and effort is something beyond them
for the first yvear or two; only ma
turity In years seems to produce this
consistent doggedness so requisite to
the full equipment of a varsity play
er. If Fincher can get that point
in his head this year he will be
heard from.
JOE GUYON, I
Here is a fine young athlete most
of us have heard of béfore—Joe Guy
on, formerly of the Carlisle Indian
School, located at Carlisle, Pa., but
for the last two years a student at
Keekatin Academy, Wis,
Guyon is a brother to Charley
Wahoo, of this ecity, also an ex
member of the Carlisle team, Asn
Wahoo has made Atlanta his perma
nent home he decided to bring his
younger brother to Atlanta and send
him to Tech, so they could be to
gether,
The first year Guyon entered Car
lisle he was played in the line, mak
ing a regular's place for himself at
the position of tackle; but the next |
year he was brought back into the|
backfield by Coach Warner to 1l the
place left vacant by Thorpe’'s exit at
halfback. This place he filled In such
good style that even the great Thorpe
was hardly missed,
To have made good on the rush
Hine of 80 good a team as Carlisle
had in those days in his very flrst‘
year at the game shows what a re
markable natural aptitude Guyon had
for football; and then to have made
such a signal success of backfield
work also in his very first year at|
the position demonstrates clearly mut“
he was simply a born Ww- . 1

runs with the greatest possible ease
and the least exertion imaginable.
He dodges and sidesteps in a manner
worthy of our own Strupper. He is,
apparently, as brilliant an interferer:
as our Captain Johnston, and he will
tackle with the best of tacklers. On
catching and running back punts he
is a wonder, while in punting it is
almost u dead heat between him and
“Strup,” which is saying a very great
deal. In a wnoed, Guyon appears to{
be a’'perfec.ly rounded out plaver. |
The very best thing about him is
that he 1s modest. He never talks
about what he has done in the past,
nor what he can do-—-only what he
can’'t do. He strikes one as a thor-.
oughly well-hehaved and gentlemanly
chap, and he obeys orders and toes
the mark in matters of discipline like
the level-headed fellow he so evident
ly is. I feel certain he is destined to‘
be very popular not only with his fel
low players and college mates, but
with the footbal! public as well. ‘
Joe has also played baseball, la
crosse and other games with mn.rked‘
success, and has achieved some dis
tinction in track and fleld sports as
well.
The question of eligibility to play
with Tech in his first year is wholly
dependent on whether Carlisle is anl
institution of collegiate rank. The
best information at hand seems to
indicate that it is not--far from f{t;
but the Tech authorities will satisfy
themselves absolutely on this point|
before permitting Guyon to play in;
varsity games, thereby waiving the
point of putting the burden of proof
on other colleges. For Guyon's own
sake they prefer to make sure that
no objection to his playing shall arise
to embarrass him, and so they will|
g 0 into the matter thoroughly be
forehand.
LOUIS McREYNOLDS.
Louis Mcßeynolds, of Sutherland,
Fla., got his first taste of scholastic
athletics as a student in Sutherland
Academy, the preparatory depart
ment of Southern College. ‘
He is a mighty well bullt boy,
welghing about 185 pounds und}
measuring 5 feet 10 inches in height.
For his stockiness he is remarkably
fast on his feet, having time and
again made 10 3-4 seconds In the
100-yard dash, on slow tracks, and
when tired after participation in half
a dozen other track and fleld events,
At G. M. A last spring he starred
by winning first place in the finals
of both dashes, the hurdles, the broad
jump and in both the hammer and
shot puts, to say nothing of several
second places In other events,
“Mack” 1s also considerable of a
baseball player, having performed to
satisfaction In the outfleld and also
a little behind the bat.
In football he will he tried out in
the backfield, where the combination
of Wis unusual speed and weight
should oonni to splendid advantage.

Just at present he is laid up with
a bad “charley horse,” the result of

these fellows never make an effort to

Like the Picture Hero. |
“Sometimes a youth will come to me
as a football prospect. He may be a
strong, manly fellow, who immediate
ly attracts my Interest. Just like the
hero in a motion picture who comes
upon the screen and whose every
movement forms the basis of the
drama, this particular boy will begin
the molding of a real drama of lifs
under my eye. I look at hins and form
opinions. Then 1 test him,
“As he begins to grow and sprout
under the ideals I strive to impart, I
watch him with the keenest of In
terest. If he exhibits the attributes of
character which I look for—physical
courage, moral courage, honesty and
grit—l am happy. If he falls to do
80, 1 am sad. |
“When 1 take the candidates for a
football team and coach them, my only
thought is not for the success of this
or that particular season. I am pre
paring these boys for the gridiron—
and I am preparing them for life,
Some Become Cowards.
“I have seen heart dramas enacted
on the ribboned fleld of play which
would be considered masterpieces of‘
fiction. I have seen comedies, trage
dies and the thing between. I have
seen men find themselves on the foot
ball field. T have seen weaklings sud
denly grow strong--have seen hoaste
ful men lose their airs of bravado and
become cowards in a twinkling —thelr
real character surging through the ar
tificial cloaks with which they had
been hidden,
Longs To Be Back.
“It's a great thing—this footbal.
“We llve our llves but once and
football forms the blggest incident in
the careers of many*men. The late
Tom Shevlin wou'd leave his gigantic
business deals to devote his time to
football. Many of our greatest citi
zens have told me that they look back!
on their foothall days as the happlest|
period of their lives, ‘
“1 frequently negotiate deals that
run into the milllons,' one told mo'
recently, ‘but 1 never feel the same ag'
I used to when awalting the sound of,
the whistle which would open a big
football game.
“*That nervous tension, the thrill
of anticipation, the thought of play.
Ing for the dear o'd school, the thou
sands to cheer you on-~there's noth-
Ing like that now. 1 would trade my
evening clothes for a suit of mole
skins any time 1 had the chance.’

Just what to expect.
“There’'s Benn Owen, now coach of
the Oklahoma Sooners. Owen, in my
opinion, was the greatest quarterback
that ever lived. He Was courageous,

may sound silly to some, but I speal
from twenty years’ experience In the
game,
“Ty Cobdb ta ratea the greatest
baseball player in the game. He would
have been Just as great a feotball
player. The desire and abilit to be
gTeat—the grit and dotermlnctlon
physical and moral courage—would
have carried him through just the
same. But the road he took to fame
was different.
Sisler Has the Stuft,
“George Sisler, now the hero of @t.
Louls, and another great ball pllm',
would have made wonderful football
material. I knew that the instant I
lald eyes on him at Michigan Univer
sity. He wanted to play football. He
would have made a star. But I knew
basaball was his profession and re
fused to take him on the team. Now
he is the talk of the countr?r. and will
fill Cobb's shoes as the nation's base
ball hero In a few more years.
“Don’t you see what I mean? In
the Game of Footbal] or of Life, it
{an't the hands and the feet which
Bucceed. It's the heart that was born
In them-—the courage and character
that is theirs by divine herluio."
“Hurry Up,” in explaining the rapid
changes that have taken place {in
football in twenty years, says:
“It's not the same game It was
when I coached the all-victorious
Kansas eleven in 1899. It's a grander
game than ever. The open style of
play, the new rules, the forward pass
—all have combined in improving the
sport. While I might be called a coach
of the old school, I certainly like the
new play, Andofon't forget that,
“Speaking Kansas reminds me
of an Incident which Boes to prove
what I said about football molding
character. In 1898 | coacned Nebras
ka U. One of the first things I ale
ways Instlll Into my men is the tme
portance of loyalty. Well, that year L
Ihad & youngster named Benedict who
Was a natural-born kicker. I taught
'hlm all T knew about it, ‘and, among
other things, I Inatiiled into him that
feeling of loyalty for his school,
Loyal to Hig Bchool.
' ‘The next season I took Kansas UT.
lThe nearest we came to being bon.ta
was by Nebraska. They scored
'points on us. The boy who scored the
120 points was Benedict, the drop
| kicker. H;l was playing agalnst his
'old coach ahd mentor—but he tried to
