third full season without a defeat be
ing chalked up against them, but
they understand that if they can win
from Auburn they will undoubtedly
be ranked ahead of Ohlo State and
that their football will probably be
¢onsidered superior to anything in
either the South or the West.
The Jackets were strong in their
admiration for Ducote's powerful
pluncing, sure tack'ing and excellent
puntine, They also thought mighty
well of Revington's line bucking and
hiz sterling defensive play, while in
Bonner they recognized one of the
verv hest linesman they have seen in
gevern] sengons. It 18 to be freely ad
mitted that Auburn possesses in these
three men a trio of wndoubted stars

ND while we are handing it to
A Auburn, for the gallant fight
to a 0-0 tie with Ohio State,
let us hand a little something to thel
N ey it Game.
s R 0 State came
's’ ?@s down to our
%&' 23 sountry with noth
-2 i ing to gain in
b e i prestige by trim
i PRE <@ : ning Auburn—and
(R RO N everything to loge.
RS e v It must be that
% .@8 Onhio state DID
oRe - B | i restige
?,w ,% :lose in p g
R N : by being held to
1o S ‘a tie with the
: &%% i Plainsmen.
t oo VR But here is
LU WS where we hand H.‘
| Rsß to the Buckeyes.
- wov They came down
here and played a game, with all to
lose and nothing to gain, for the sol
diers of Uncle Sam. They played
with a brand-new quarterback and
a green man in the line. They put up
a gallant fight, handicapped at the
start. And they were held to a tie—
for which (as suggested) all honor
to Auburn for their splendid achieve
ment.
This Northern college did this for
Uncle Sam. And what next?
Why, that same bunch of Buck
eyes iz going back to Cincinnati next
Tuesday, bruised and battered from
their colision with the big Tigers—
going to Cincinnatl to play another
hard game, also for Uncle Sam’s
boys.
There is somethinp pretty fine
about that; now, isr't there? They
don't get any money for it; they
risked—and lost prestige by it.
There is something bigger and (it
may be) better than the sporting
ambition of the grand old game in
what those Buckeyes d!d, and in what
they are going to do. You have to
hand it to them.
* + +
And while we are all gloritying
Mike Donahue and higs stalwart
Plainsmen for upholding the honor of
the Southland, might it not be just as
well to stop and consider if we in
Dixie haven't been just a shade too
much absorbed in our production of
a real football champion this year;
and not ' quite enough ambitious
to sacrifice a prospect or two,
and a few thousand dollara or so—
for the sake of Uncle SBam?
Or maybe the Red Cross?
You remember what Kipling says,
in the Recessional—
“lf drunk with sight of power . . .”
I admit I fell for it. I have been
too much wrapped up in seeing Geor
gia Tech established as a nationa
champion. Maybe we all were, if
we’'ll admit it. Maybe we all went
off our nuts a bit, and got to yelling
for Tech to roll up the score—roll up
the score over every team, so that
up East they’d have to admit we of
the South were THERE.
But what of it, after all?
Let’s remember that Pittsburg has
a post-season game with Camp Lee,
Let's remember that Ohio - State
scheduled TWO benefit games. And
Rutgers. And lots of them in the
East—all the Yale and HArvard in
formal games, I think.
P o+ o+
What about this business, boys?
Are we running up a sectional foot
ball championship at the expense of
real and patriotic sportsmanship?
What about Tech not being permitted
to play a post-seasorn game—not for
the Red Cross—not for Uncle Sam's
soldiers?

Heisman Knows Nothing of S. I,
A. A. Rule Which Bars First-
Year Men Thanksgiving.
By Reuben A. Lewis.
HERE ls one little matter that
is far from settled.
Mike Donahue, coach of the
Auburn eleven, has stated that
Trapp, a first-yéar man, would not
play against Auburn inasmuch as the
8. I A."A. rules barred him. He in
timated that Auburn did not expect
to oppose Dan Whelchel and Judy
Harlan, the freshmen on the Yellow
Jackets.
Coach Meisman avows that he
knows nothlnf that will prevent Har
lan and Whelchel from opposing the
Plainsmen. He will conduct an in
vestigation today, and will seek to
learn if the ac:ee:z‘ants are binding.
Should it develop &at the Tech
representatives are boyhd by any
proviso, he will be in a fortunate
position. For Tech has a nice quota
of substitutes. Shorty Guill will be
shifted to fullback, Higgins or Mathes
to guard and Ulrich or Fincher to an
end., The Yellow Jackets would not
be embarrassed to any great extent,
but it is naturally the desire of Coach
Helsman that the regular line-up be
used in the final engagement.
There 18 one particular In which
Auburn is woefully weak,
The Plaingmen are bereft of sub
stitutes, who can compare with the
regulars. When Bonner was disabled
in the third period of the Ohlo State
gameé, he was replaced by Blackshear,
He was a game little fellow, but too
light to stpp the drive of a big man,
The differende was apparent, and
Mike Donahue ¢onfessed quite openly
that the matter of substitutes was his
one weak point.
+ 4 4
Should any of the Tigers be forced
to retire from the game Tech is
going to derive a great benefit, Au
burn was uninjured by the terrific
battering of Saturday. The manner
in which the Plainsmen withstood the
flerce tack'es and mass plays showed
that they were in good condition.
The Turkey Day game will not be
a repetition of the Carlisle game, with
frequent truces for the removal of the
injured and winded. There should
be a drive and a verve to the game
that has been absent in previous en«
gagements,
| & &+ &
~ Ome has asked what is the differ
‘ence between a big Fastern team,
such as Yale, and Auburn, Tech or
Vanderbilt in the South. It is the
matter of substitutes. The Big Four
combirations have such a number of
men competing for positions that the
loss of & regulgr does not Apgf:ciably
weaken them. But with a Southern
institution, the disparity is marked.
Tech 18 perhaps the most fortu
nate team in the South in this respent.
For Heisman has substitutes that are
good enough for any varsity eleven
in Higgins, Mathes, Johnson, Wally
Smith, Colcord, Shaver and several
other gridironists.

Bald Domed Chicago Wonder on
Making Champs of Unknowns.

Friedman New Protege.
By H. M. Walker.
T never has been definitely decid
ed whether a "“fight manager”
comes under the head of Bug
Life or Sea Food. In the old days of
the boxing game we had many of
these picturesque folk—“ Cherokee"”
Tom Jones, Billy Nolan, Billy Britt,
Harry Gilmore, Jr., Dan Morgan, Lar
ney Lichtenstein and an army of
athers. W
The “fight manager’” has gradually
disappeared along with the “moon
shiner” and the fellow who sold corn
salve on the public square. One or
two of the old-timers remain, but the
anti-boxing laws in many States have
driven the majority to manual labor
or some other horrible fate,
The Chiéago prints tell us that
“Cherokee” Tom Jones has picked
up'a third or fourth rate lightweight
named Solly Friedman and is point
ing him for a match with the cham
plon. Benny Leonard. With any
other manager we wouldn't give the
item passing notice. But with Tom
Jones the way is paved for an inter
esting line of thought.
Tom Jones is, to our way of think
m‘.l the frntent in his line. The
fight crities and the paragraphers
have let many a “roast” fall upon
Tom's bald dome, but the fact re
mains that T. J. got result 3 and got
théem ih championshlp form.
It was back in September, 1008,
‘hat Tom Jones first came to the
Coast. He wore “high-water” pants
and there was no Jingle of coin from
either the port or starboard side, He
brought out Billy Papke to fight the
great Btanley Ketchell. A seant ha'f
dozen people met Tom and his protege
when the; stepped off the Salt Lake
train. Papke was a forlorn hope,
Jones a boob—so we thought.
Papke knocked out Ketehell in
twelve rounds and Tom Jones stood
out as the manager of the world's
middieweight champion. It matters
not that Papke was beaten by Ketch
all two months later: Tom Jones had
brought in a title holder
b
There followed a disagreement be
tween boxer anrd manager and Papke
Qlscarded the man who had “made”
‘him. At that time Ad Wo'gast was
‘doing the well-known "“bar fly” act
‘Along Bpring street. Jones announced
‘that hé had taken over the manage
‘ment of Wolgast; that Ad had tfie
‘making of a champion in him. Once
again the Big Snicker was heard all
alonz the iine.
What followed i 8 now between the
‘bound pages of Tom Andrews’ Book
of Records. Wolgast developed into
one of the “fightingest” 133-pounders
that ever made ring history; the
world's lightweight champlion. Ad lit
erally fought the heart out of that
wonderful warrior, Batt'ing Nelson,
for the chamvionship, and defended
his laurels against such men as
Brown, Memsic, Le Grave, Hogan,
Burns and Moran; all “tough birds.”
It is estimated that Wolgast earned
over $200,000 under Jones' handling.
In 1915, a little over two years ago,
Johes came to the surface again with
the statement that he was managing
Jess Willard and would try for a
match with Jack Johnson. Jess Wil
lard. the seared-looking and awkward
heavy, positively the worst heavv
weight prognect ever forced upon the
public. Once again the Big Laugh.
+ b+ P
And after the Havana battle Tom
Jones emerged smi'ing and serene,
another champion. the world’'s heavy
weight title holder, under contract
and another wnd of big money in
sight.” THhree champions the middle
welght, lightweight and heavyweight
title holders, developed by Tom Jones,
the “boob manager” from a one-chair
barber shop town in Illinois.
And now Tom is leading another
“forlorn hope.” What he will do with
voung Friedman remains to be seen.
Onee more they are giggling at T
1.3 It's a habit,
Agnother thing-—in all the years
that we had dealingd with Tom Jones
we never knew him to misrepresent
facts. With his 'oud talk and his vel
low diamonds and other scenery Tom
used to sit down across the desk and
speak nothing but the truth. Tom is
a bit more than the greatest of fight
managers—he is a real man.

Meanwhile, Bob Fitzsimmons had
gone on a tour with a wvaudeville
company. Fitz was a big drawing
card and the show during the first
few weeks was a big success, Fitz,
as was the custom with most boxers
in that day, put on a boxing exhibi
tlon as his act. A year or so before
he had played the leading part in
“The Honest Blacksmith,” a melo
drama, but didn't like that sort of
theatrical work. The vaudeville end
of the game, which permitted him to
exhibit his puglistic prowess, was
something more to his liking.
Bob always climaxed his vaude
ville performances with a trick that
many boxers have tried and at which
few have succeeded. He would hit
the punching bag with all his force,
\nnap the cord and send the bag
hurtling into the audience. Many
persons thought that the cord had
been cut, but this was not true. Bob
really had the strength in his punch

Tigers Will Enter Tech Game in
.
Perfect Trim—Auburn Wants
Still Stronger Defense.
ÜBURN, ALA., Nov. 26.—There
A has been no rest for the Plainsmen
during the last three weeks, and if
Monday evening’s work is any indication
of what will come during the remainder
of this week before Thanksgiving, the
Tigers are certainly in fcr their, share
of hard work. Coach Donahue had his
men out early yesterday afternoon, and
every man was given all the practice
he could stand up under.
Not satisfied with the showing Au
burn made on the defensive against
Ohio State, the Auburn coach has his
squad on the defense Monday against
the scrubs. The scrubs tried everything
in their maneuvers and were entirely
unsuccessful against the varsity squad.
Coach Donahue is hoping to develop
his team during these three days so
that they will be able to stand up
under the powerful offensive attack of
Georgla Tech. Auburn men think now
that wonders will never cease, and, if
this 1s so, Auburn may have a chance
to beat Tech.
The reason for this bold statement lies
in the fact that the Tiger squad came
out of the Ohlo State game without a
single injury of any kind. 'The only
evidences of the terrific fight are a few
scratches on the faces of those Au
burn heroes. If no injuries are sus
tained during this week, the Plainsmen
should enter the battle on ‘“‘Turkey
Day"” in the pink of condition.

to snap the cord whenever he hit itl
from a certain angle. On two occa
sions, Bo» drove the bag into the
faces of men sitting in the “bald head
row” and these fe'lows promptly
threatened a suit for damages. They
didn‘t relish the stunt nearly as much
as the rest of the aaudience. In both
instances Bob made settlement with
them.
Fitz always made a decided hit in
every town where he played, due to
the fact that immediate'y upon en
tering he would hunt up a few black
smith shops and spend his morning
hours at each one of these making
horseshoes. On each he wou'd
stamp his initials and distribute them
to his friends, or as souvenirs among
the audience. Of vourse, .there was
always a scramble to seclire posses
sion of the Fitzsimmons' horseshoess,
and many of them are still treasured
as trophies by the old timers.
o b
Those who knew Fitz in the earlier
days remember him for many things;
included was his singing. Bob never
gave exhibitions on the stage, hut!
he had a remarkable tenor voice, Had
it been cultivated, there is a likeli
hnod that Bob might have become
almost as famous a warbler as a
pugilist. Many of Bob's friends fre
quently enjoined him to to take a few
lessons in singing. But Bob ' con
tented himself with an untrained
voice which was rare in its /sweet
ness. |
“Oh, Promise Me,” was Bob's fa
vorite song and no man who ever
heard Bob sing it could forget. Bob
could put intense feeling into his
songs and many men went to Bob’s
training quarte;s more in the hope of
‘hearing him sing than of seeing him
in his workouts.
Fitz, as 1 have stated before, made
a big hit as a headliner of the
vaudevi'le troupe and everything
went along nicely for him until he
reached Syracuse. And then came
the most unfortunate incident of Bob
Fitzsimmons' life; one which caused
him great financial loss, great mental
anguish and his arrest and trial on
the charge of manslaughter.
It was the death of Con Riordan,
his sparring partner.
(Editor's Note? This is the six
teenth chapter of a series of articles
by Jim Corbett which deal with the
career of Bob Fitzsimmons. Few
men knew Fiez as Corbett knew him,
and so these stories reveal some in
cidents in the life of Fitzsimmons
that never before have been printed.
The next chapter will appear to
morrow.)

the hardest games in its history. . =
Never were two teams more evenly
matched, both on paper and other
wise. In weight they are almost evenly
balanced—about 165 to the man, From
the’ standpoint of experience they are
on a par. Both teams have given
generously to the service of our coun
try, and most of the men on the
teams are young, inexperienced and

they have encountered vastly stronger.
teams. Reports come in that, al
though they have often been out
classed, they have never been out
fought. With such a team as this to
face the Tiger fully realizes what he
has to go up against.
For the past week the Sewanee men
have had a period of rest and a period
of hard work. It was believed that the
crushing defeat at the hands of Cen
ter was caused partly by the fact that
the men were too finely drawn—staie.
For this reason there was no practice

Coach Harris Cove, who has so ably

special request of Coach Best, to help:

the season. With Cope and Henry D,

line-up will be practiecally the same,
Hammond, with his brilliant punt

is probably Sewanee’s most consgistent
player, of course excepting Wortham,
who undoubtedly is one of the great-.

Skidmore and Payne in the line are
booked to shower the team and them

who has heen playing a star game at

been accepted and it was feared that
he would hava to report before

' In considering the forthcoming
game, it is interesting to look back
into the annals of past games between
the teams of these two venerable old
institutions. The first game of mod
ern football was played in 1891. Had
there been a game played in 1899 this
year’s would have been the twenty

teams. As it is, It will be the eight
eenth consecutive annual game, and
now that the Princeton-Harvard gam,l
has been discontinued, is the longest '
standing series of games between two
‘such rival institutions in the country.
Of the twenty-eight games played the
Purple has come off victorious only
seven times, but the scores have al-,
ways been low and the rivalry keen.
Last year the game resulted in a 0-0
