Sectional Results in Football Also Discussed by
Noted Footbhall Authority, Who Announces
His Annual List of College Stars for Year.
The follmwing story by Walter
Camp, the noted football erpert,
thould prove interesting reading for
football fans in this section. In his
“honor roll” list, printed in box form,
Camp names seven Tech men—Car
penter, Lang, Phillips, Morrvison,
Johnston, Strupper and Spence; other
Southern football stars are also men
tiomed.
By Walter Camp.
HE football season of 19168 has
proves what was predicted by
the writer—that the problems
of attack and defense In this game
which is now crystallizing into definite
form are becoming each year more
and more complicated. There are two
forces at work continually. One is
the effort to devise plays and by
plays. I have no reference to fakes
or tricks or startling demonstrations
that might work once in a while, but
a really organized form of attack that
shall force the opposing line to spread
out, and thus stretch itself so that
there are vuinerable points.
The other force is that of the de
fense which is planning all the time
to find some method by which they
can spare a man who is now some
where in their backfield in order
that he may reinforce these thinner
points on the line. For several years
the teams have taken a center back
of the line and made him a roving
center in order that he may rein
force other points at the moment of
attack., This is still effective under
certain conditions but it has sug
gested to the minds of students of
defense how valuable it would be
if there could be no such rover and
if he could be drawn from the back
fleld and still not leave that back
fleld vulnerable to forward passes or
quick kicks. All this makes for
greatly increased interest and a
yeally more scientific development of
the game,
. - -
IN the East, the season’s excitement
was carried to the very end, because
Harvard and Yale had both beaten
Princeton and hence the Yale-Har
vard game settled the issue betwecen
these three old rivals. And Yale
won. But Brown had beaten Yale
and Harvard, while Colgate had been
beaten by Yale. Hence the Colgate-
Brown game, if won by Brown, would
give her the premler position. But,
alas for Brown, and the simple solu
tion of leadership, Colgate defeated
Brown and thus tangled matters up
badly. Pittsburg and the Army went
through the season undefeated, but
neither of them played Colgate,
Brown, Yale or Harvard. Hence the
winter will be filled with dicussion,
The contest in the Middle West
proved very extraordinary. At the
beginning of the season a great deal
was expected from Wiseonsin and
her new Harvard system of coaching
with Withington in charge. Chicago,
too, was regarded as having better
looking material than for some two
or there seasons. Minnesota was,
however, the favorite on account of
carrving over veterans in their good
work of the year before. The team
that apparently stood in their way
was to be Illinois. Northwestern and
Ohjo State were not much in the
reckoning, and yet, as a matter of
fact, as things turned out, these two
came through unbeaten until their
final contest of November 25, in
which Ohio State won out, 23 to 8,
largely due to the individual work of
Harley.
- . *
MI.\'NESOTA would have had a
olear lead had it not been for a
disastrous defeat at the hands of li
nols 14 to 9. One fatal intercepted di
agonal forward pass over the end of
the line thus spelt the ruination of
Minnesota's season, for there could
be no question in the mind of any
who saw her powerful attack, when
it was going, as, to the enormous
amount of drive in it and the way
in which it subjugated the opposi
tlon. Nor did Tlllinois profit mate
rially by this defeat of Minnesota, ex
cept as a great satisfaction for
Zuppke, the coach, and Macomber, the
captain, for Illinois was defeated by
Colgate and Chicago. The Ohio State
team under Coach Wilce had a most
satisfactory season and developed an
exceptional star in Chick Harley,
who was the best of the Middle West
backfleld by all odds.
Following him closely was, how
ever, Driscoll of Northwestern, the
diminutive back of 147 pounds, but
as slippery an individual as ever
wore cleats. It was a pleasure to
record the advance of Northwestern
under Coach Murphy, for he had had
hard sledding for two or three years.
Kansas beat Nebraska for the first
time in several years, while out on
the coast Oregon and the University
of Washington both finished unde
teated. Notre Dame beat Nebraska
20 to 0, and played a strong game
against the Army,.but. lost 20 to 10.
*
S OUTHERN foothall beeame com
_ plicated in a similar fashion to
that of the Middle West, but did not
result in so many marked upsets. For
a time It looked as though Auburn,
Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech would
fight it out. but Vanderbilt was de
feated by Tennessee and Auburn by
Vanderbilt. Tennessee was tied by
Kentcky State, and as Tennessee
did not meet Georgia Tech it left the
usual post-season discussion to set
tle claims. Washington and Lee un
der Coach PElcock showed well in a
Northern trip. They also tled Geor
gla Tech 7 to T, their most notable
games being a close zame with the
Army, which they lost 13 to 7, a tie
game with Rutgers, 13 to 13, a defeat
tof the Navy 10 to 0, and another
close game with Washington-Jeffer
son, which they lost 10 to 6. Hence
Washington and Lee, Georgia Tech
and Tennessee each hold a high place
and their individual partisans will
fight it out in words.

TUSCALOOSA, ALA. Dec. 12.—The
football schedule for the University of
Alabama for 1917 has been announced
by Manager Hugo Friedman, as follows:
September 29—Southern Unlversity on
campus.
October 6-—Southern University on
campus. :
October 13—Mississippi College on
campus.

November 3—Sewanee at Birmingham.
A November 10—Vanderbllt at Birming
am.
November 17-—Tulane on campus.
Thanksgiving Day-—Georgia at Bir
mingham.
This schedule probably means the sev
erance of relations between Alabama
and Tech, the latter team being left out
by Alabama to take on Vanderbilt.
Held Saturday Night
The annual football banquet of the
Tech varsity will be given BSaturday
night, December 18, at the Druid Hills
Golf Club.
The success of the 1916 team has been
unprecedented in the annals of football
at Georgia Tech. With this fact In
mind the 1916 banquet will in every way
be in keeping with the record of the
1916 team and should set the high
water mark for gala occasions of this
nature.
Members of the Tech team will elect
the 1917 captain, while letters swill also
be awarded for the 1916 season,

l ES DARCY, the Australlan boxer
44 who is on his way to this country,
‘has a sparring partner named Jim Tra
cy, who, he ff(ure- will be the man to
give Willard a battle for the champion
ship. Tracy is only 18 years od, weighs
182 pounds, and stands 8 feet 4 inches.
He is called the “Cornstalk.

shared In many big purses. He has built
an attractive house for his family, which
includes two children, and also bullt a
' residence for his parents.
IS ANDY FERGUSON, the big heavy

Battling Clarke and other local boys. |
I T may surprise some, but It Is noti
entirely unlikely, that Gibbons some
of these fine days may pack up his grip
and make the trip to Australia to "‘cali’
Darcy. Some few days before the Phan
tom fought Dillon in St. Paul he was
talking to Harry Sherman, the promoter |
who staged the bout, and, according to
Sherman, he remarked: ‘“‘After I lick
Dillon T want to lick a couple of other
fellows; then 1 may close up my boxlng‘
career with a trip to Australia.”” And If
Giibbons goes to Australia ever{)bodyJ
knows there will be a Gibbons-Darcy
battle.
HARHY DUNDERDALE, who is weil
versed in the boxing game, thinks
Billy Hooper is one of the best negro
boxers in the country his weight., Dun
derdale refereed Hooper's bout witha big
negro named Griffin in Albany recently.
and, according to Harry, Hooper won
the decision after a great ten-round
battle.
K ID WILLIAMS, bantamweight cham

his bout with Billy Fitzsimmons, the
New York bantam, in Baltimore the

Commodores’ List of November
Games Fails to Include Battles
With Tech, Georgia or Auburn.
| ey
By Fuzzy Woodruff.
| F' Vanderbilt sticks to its an
ll nounced schedule for Nm'embv-r.|
playing Kentucky, Tennessee,|
lAlnhumn_ Sewanee and Illinols, nndl
leaves Auburn out of their plans, the|
Commodores are going to win n'
whole lot of championship claims, for
the very simple reason that they will
meet no Southern teams calculated
to Interrupt their string of victories, '
Bt good hard common sense, or as
much of it as we have with the thor-1
mometer rvfluterln( freezing and the
weather feeling colder than that, tells
us that no championship claim Is go
ing to receive any very serious con- |
sideration in the future unléss the
team making that claim has met and
defeated at least two of the big four
of Dixie—~Tech, Vanderbilt, Auburn
and Georgia.
A schedule which includes none of‘
these colleges may be a good schedule
from a sporting viewpoint, but it can
not be considersad a representative
layout of games for this section.
And if the Commodores persist lnl
this kind of a safe-and-sane schedule,
they are soon going to find football
interest drifting away in Nashville,
and their claims, however loud, being
met with a lack of consideration that
llhey will richly deserve,

JI'ST how the Commodores have
seen their way clear in forgetting
about their annual meeting with Au.
burn in Birmingham is a problem.
This game has become a Southern
classic. It's on a par pow with the
Tech-Georgia and the Auburn-Tech
battles in Atlanta. It is Birming
ham's best football bet, and it's one
of Vanderbilt's financial reliances.
But they kill that game as remorse
lessly as a bald-headed man would
swat an annoying fly. Maybe politics
is the answer In this case, as it is the
answer in so many of our American
troubles,
vVanderbilit was the leading spirit In
fight'ng the one-year rule in the
Southern Intercollegiate Athletic As
sociation.
Tom Bragg, of Auburn, was just as
vigorous in demanding that the one
yvear rule be established throughout
| the South.
' The first big college to rush to the
assistance of Vanderbilt was the
University of Alabama, Auburn's ri
val for State patronage. Vandy and
Alabame turned the trick. Lined up
with the littie colleges, they struck
Auburn and her associates hip and
thigh.
.. - ‘
THF:N suddenly comes the an
nouncement that Vanderbilt and
Auburn will not meet in thelr annual
November game in Birmingham. |
On the Saturday usually set aside
for this battle Alabama and the Com
modores will struggle at Rickwood
;Held. The answer's easy, isn't it?

Dreyfuss Among Those Expected
to Stir Up Plenty of Excite
ment—Cubs May Name Leader
-
By Jack Veiock,
International News Service Sports
Editor.
EW YORK, Dec. 12.—The set-
N ting provided for the National
League meeting today by the
ruler of the weather ‘was almost as
foreboding as some of the reports
that have been issued by the National
Leaguers who are assembled at the
Waldort-Astoria for their anoual
powwow
| Rain--cold, gray and dreary—drove
'the magnates to shelter, and with the
prospect of a wrangle with the miper
Jeague committee which will ask for
'a new baseball board of appeals, the
open affront of the Internationsl
Leaguers, and internal trouble n
their own league, there was nothz
cheerful ahead of Governor Ten
constituents a
Barney Dreyfuss, minus the walls
known decoration of his mezzanine
lip, which he lost in an election bet,
but full of determination to '“roy
his fellow magnates at today’'s meet
ing, was very much in evidence. t
came to town yesterday, and while
refused to orate at length on his
plans, he permitted himself to be
quoted as follows:
“I am not saying whether or “
there will be fireworks in the meet
ing. I only know that I have some
suggestions to offer, and I think they
wil' all see sooner or later that the
government of the game must Be
changed.” s
-- . &
'Dr;m'w's.q has been gunning for
Garry Herrmann ever since
Sisler case was decided against i:.'l?
(Dreyfuss: by the national commisg
sion. He is still highly peeved oyer
| losing Sisler, and he says he does not
| want to take further chances of such
|legislation by the commission,
President Tener, who generally pre
fers to let his magnates do the talk
ing, said that he expected his league
would approve of some new plan of
running the world's series. The divi
sion of receipts will be one important
{item In the new plan, it is said, and
{ there is talk of a nine-game series
{ and cheaper priceg,
- - -
O.\' E of the most interested happen
ings expected today was that
Charles Weeghman, of the Chicago
Cubs, would name a manager to suc=
ceed Joe Tinker, Weeghman stated
yvesterday that he had made no selec
tion at that time, but might “have his
nund made up within a few hours.”
Although he has gone on record that
he will not name Frank Chance, some
of the baseball experts seem inclined
to think that the “Peerless Leader”
stiil has a look-in. Fred Mitchell, of
the Braves, is also a strong candidate
for the job, but it is said Boston
wants “Cy” Williams in a deal for
Mitchell, and Weeghman is loath te
part with “Cyrus.”
Mis. Helen Hathaway Britton ar
rived from St. Louis and Percy
Haughton came down from Bostona,
giving every one of the eight clubs
representation,
- - -
M.\ NAGER MILLER HUGGINS, of
the Cardinals, is here, and, is
expected to make some deals. Wheth
er or not John J. McGraw will ‘be
‘v.uiml upon to explain his action
when he deserted the Giant bench in
Erooklyn and made charges against
his jlayers was a question, Me-
Graw said. he was ready to tell his
side of the matter at any time, F
~ Traces between the club own
were freely predicted this momig'.
and with so much to be done, it was
by no means a certainty that the
magnates would be able to wind up
a!l! of their business during the day.

Up Serious Rumpus
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—1 n de!yinf the
authority of the National Commission
the magnates of the International
League were believed today to have stir
red up a serious rumpus in the ranks
of organized baseball.
The International League club owners
instructed President Ed Barrow to in
form the National Commission that its
decision in the Newark case, ordering
the International club owners to pay
Charles Ebbets a sum of $9,000 to cover
his claims for loss of territory, would
not he carried out. .
This stand, coupled with visible dis
sension in minor league ranks against
the present government of the game,
and demands which will be placed be
fore the National and American
Leagues for equal representation in af
fairs between major and minor league
clubs and the lifting of the draft from
Class AA leagues, foreboded a dangerous
storm in the realm of baseball.
The proposed interleague series be
tween the International League and the
American Assoclation will be definitely
mapped out today. The International
Leagners have voted to uphold the plan
and a joint committee representing the
two leagues will work out the details
today.
