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 Ohio State and
that their football will probably be
considered superior to anything in
either the South or the West.
The Jackets were strong in their
admiration for Ducote's powerful
plunging, sure tackling and excellent
punting, They also thought mighty
well of Revington’s line bucking and
his sterling defensive play, while in
Bonner they recognized one of the
very best linesman they have seen in
geveral seasons. It is to be freely ad
mitted that Auburn rossesses in these
three men a trio gs undoubted _stars.

1 daresay my warnings regarding
the rapidly growing strength of the
Plainsmen will now be regarded. 1
have heen pointing out that there was
no sense in anyone assuming that
Mech would show a superiority of
anything like 50 points against Au
burn—those who assert it ask alto
gether too much of Tech) and give
credit to Auburn for altogether too
little: and T am glad that Auburn has
had an opnortunitv to reveal her true_
strength before Toch went against,
her. Now, it is plain to be seen. that
Tech will have everv reason to be
*“tickled tn death” if she even wins, let
alone rinning up a score.
The fart is that defeat three weeks
ago hv Davidson was the making of
the Aubnrn team. Tt woke them un
and showed them how much better
thev could nlay if thev reallv tried
like the Davidson Wild Cats trv. Pos
siblv thev felt a bit ashamed of them
selves—as a team alwavs faels when
outnlaved hv a mneh liehter asgre
gation. and that was the verv tonic
the Oranee and Rine warriors needed.
I have aitwavs said there was an im
mense 2mount of latent strength in
the Anhnrn team. and if they ever
Jearned to trot it oant when the ocrca
sfon ralled for it, they would make a
formidahle team for any eleven to
line up against.
b
Yes. Auhurn will nresent much the
hect team Mech will have onne UN
against this season. We learn they
paid eomnarativelv little attention
jast week to drilling against Ohio
State's farmations (and so mnch het
ter therefore. is their fine showing
against the Burkeves), but kent
themeelvee nccupied from earlv 11
Jate driline on Tach’s formatinns.
This shonld have them in fine shane
to intellivantly meet the Jacket nlavs,
while the hrand of defensive nower
thev showed in Monteomerv is ennd
enonch tn make al' sorts of tronble
for the hest team that ever stepped
out-on a eridiron.
In additten. T really look for Au
burn to soring some new stuff on
Mach. Tam nretty well satlsfied that
the who'le Anburn camn has trafned
and worked from tha first dav of this
sencon with an eve sineled on the
Tech team. and that thev have ex
perimented extensivelv with a lot of
stuff that the Terk sconts have seen
nothine of the entire season.
To he sure. Tech has held back
one or two little things alsn. and
fi‘h""“""v will he our last chance to
gee whether thev are anv good or not
WMavhs thev will work ant well-and
;np\"u\ not—who can tell? g
At anv rate. T am very elad that
we arn tn have for the wind-un of
the season a game that =il he more
than worth while watehing and on
po'gn,g to ne a team that will strain
vs to the verv limit.

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 evenirg’s work is any indication
of what will come during the remainder
of this week before Thanksgiving, the
Tigers are certainly in for their share
of hard work. Goach Donahue had his
men out early yesterday afteenoon, and
every man was given all the practice
he could stand up under.
Not satistied with the_showing Au
burn made on the defensive against
Ohio Stdte, 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
Georgia Tech. Auburn men think now
that wonders will never cease, and, if
this is 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 Ohio State game without a
single injury of any kind. The only
evidences ;)f the terrific fight are a few
scratches son the faces of those Au
burn heroes. If no injuries are sus
tained during this week, the Plainsmen
should enter thof battle on “Turkey
Day” in the pink’ of condition.

UNIVERSITY, ALA., Nov. 27.—Coach
Kelly threw his scrubs against the var
sity eleven here Monday afternoon in
one of the fiercest scrimmages hgld this
month. The air was chilling and the
teams had on their fight shirts. The
argument continued long after night
fall, by the light of the moon. Since
the practice of last Friday, which was
the last one until Monday, the team
had lost in accuracy. Another scrim
mage is to he held this afternoon, fol
lowed by a hard practice without serim

for Birmingham to meet Camp Gor

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 27.—Just
two more days of practice remains be

Donahue is making the seconds coué!t
in preparation for the battlie with the

mage was held Monday afternoon, the
scrubs using the Davidson formations
and the varsity given a thorough drili
in breaking them up.
Toward the end of the practice the
entire corps, led by the college ‘band,
marched to Riggs Fleld to cheer the
team. Enthusiasm is at fever pitch on
Both Elevens Average About 165
Pounds — Former Sewanee
Coach Assisting Best.
By John Dearborn.
EWANEE, TENN., Xov. 27.~
S Once the, Royal Purple Tiger
must quench his thirst for
Commodore gore,, and once again
he will wend his way toward Nash
ville on Thanksgiving to grapple for
supremacy with his ancient rival. He
goes down the mountain realizing that
to register a win he must play one of
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
playing their first year of college foot
ball.
The dope is about evenly distribut
ed. Sewanee defeated Kentucky State
by a greater score than did Vander
bilt. Vandy registered an unearned
victory over Aiabama, while Sewanee
could do no better than a tie. Van
derbilt has suffered more defeats, but
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,
Hammond, with his brilliant punt
ing, I 8 expected to be a prominent fac
tor in Sewanee’s victory or defeat. He
is probably Sewanee’s most consistent
player, of course excepting Wortham,
who undoubtedly is one of the great
est littlf backs in the country.
the campus and in spite of the fact that
Davidosn is a big favorite in the bet
ting, the Clemson men are confident
that they will upset the dope. The
team will be i%‘ perfect shape when the
whistle blows Thursday.
Coach Donahue, who is saying very
little these days, predicts that those
persons who expect to see Davidson
pass his team to death are {n for a big
surprise, and further says that the Ti
gers will show a drive on that day
which will give Fetzer's team a merry
time.
There is a grimness about the prac
tices whieh fcretells that every Clemson
man is going into thatmg.ame determinea
to play the game of life for a vie
tory. ~

‘Heisman Knows Nothing of S. 1.
A, A, Rule Which Bars First
| o
~ Year Men Thanksgiving.
L/
; .
By Reuben A. Lewis.
1 HERE is one little matter that
I is far from settled.
‘ Mike Donahue, coach of the
Auburn eleven, has stated that
Trapp, a first-year man, would not
play against Auburn Inasmuch as the
S. 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
Jaekets,
Coach Heisman avows that he
knows nothing 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 agreements are binding.
S e ol
Stould it develop that the Tech
representatives are bound 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 Yeliow Jackets would not
be embarrassed to any.great extent,
but it is naturally the desire of Coach
Heisman that the regular line-up be
‘used in the final engzagement.
. There is one particular in which
Auburn is woefully weak,
The Plainsmen are bereft of sub
stitutes, who can compare with the
regulars. When Bonner was disabled
in the third period of the Ohio State
eame, he was replaced bv Blackshear.
He was a game little fellow, but too
light to stop the drive of a big man.
The difference was apparent, and
]Mike Donahue confessed quite openly
that the matter of substitutes wis his
one weak point.
| R
| 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 mahner
in which the Plainsmen withstood the
filerce 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
|lnjured and winded. There should
be a drive and a verve to the game
that has been absent in previous en
gagements.
e
One has asked what is the differ
ence between a big Eastern team,
Psuch as Yale, and Auburn, Tech or
Vanderbilt in the South. It is the
‘matter of substitutes. The Rig Four
combinations have such a number of
‘men competing for positions that the
lpss of a regular does not appreciably
weaken them. But with a Southern
institution, the disparity is marked.
Tech is perhans the most fortu
nate team in the South in this respe~t.
For Heisman has substitutes that are
good enough for any varsity eleven
in Higgins, Mathes, Johnson, Wally
Smith, Co'cord, Shaver and several
other gridironists.

American Will Open
In 1918, Says Ban
CHICAGO. Nov, 27.—American League
baseball clubs will open the 1918 base
ball season regardless of war conditions,
nccordlni to a _statement made here by
President Ban B. Johnson. Even though
the various clubs may be shy many of
their star players because of the draft
Johnson said, the league will operate as
usual and endpavor&n give the public
the best possible br#nd of sport.
Johnson predicts, however, that the
days of the: old “war time"” contracts
are over and that the salaries paid the
ball players will be pretty liberally
slashed. i -
A 154-game schedule, Johnson asserts
probably will be played, but an attem?f
will be made to arrange a schedule with
sufficient open dates to make possible
the practlcafellm!natlon of double-head

- dians Was Disgusting—Tells
Folwell Received Raw Deal.
\ DD “Disgruntled Coaches” Neal
A F, Harris, coach of Carlisle. '
| The bantamweight directx
}of the Indians, who were ove
whelmed 98 to 0 by Tech, avows
in public print that he was
given a raw deal by the Georgia
School of Technology. He told Bob
'Folwell, so states the Philadelphia
Inquirer, that “I certainly was dis
gusted at the poor showing accorded
my team by Georgia Tech last Sat
urda,” “
Through Bob Folwell, coach of the
Pennsylvania eleven, the following
lament was made: |
- “I certainly was disgusted at the
poor treatment accorded my team by‘
Georgia Tech last Saturday, Penn
today both on and off the fleld dis
played good sportsmanship against
my young Indian players. Coacn
Heisert, of Georgia Tech, would not
allow the referee and head linesman
to keep time, but made us accept one
of their players as the sole time
keeper. The ‘result was the first
quarter was twenty minutes, the sec- |
ond, nineteen minutes; the third
quarter was fifteen minutes, and the
final quarter was only ten minutes,
called because of darkness. lam sure
of this, as two of us kept a stop watch
and we tallied on the time. Durim;‘
the halves the Georgia Tech threat
ened the officials with the statement
that if they were not sure of their
penalties against Tech that the crowd
would mob them. Billy Sunday wit
nessed the game, addressed the stu
dents between the halves, and told
them that he believed that Georgia
Tech could beat Penn in a return
games.”
This statement concerning the
statement of the Carlisle Indians
with their game with Georgia Tech
was made by Coach Neal ¥, Harris, of
the Carlisle eleven, to Coach “Bob”
Folwell in the.dressing rooms after
the Carlisle-Penn game yesterday
afternoon.
When asked if he thought that
Penn, at present, could defeat the
‘Georgia Tech team, he said that he
couldn’t say, as it was hard to com
‘pare two teams which has played the
‘same eleven, even though the inter
i vening time is only of one week., He
changed the subject by speaking well
}of the Penn players and how they
showed the best sportsmanship dur
ing the game. They didn't seem de
sirous of roughing up their sma]ler;
‘and weaker opponents., When a
Carlisle player fell he was often help
ed to his feet by one of the Penn
players. ‘
o o
~ Poor Lo! When the facts ara re
viewed it would hardly seem that the
Tlndians were roughly treated. Be
fore the game, Carlisle asked for
‘shorter periods, although a $3.000
guarantee was to be paid for sixty
minutes. Heisman refused on the
ground that the Carlisle team should
be in good" condition for such a con
test.
At the#very outset, the Indians.
etarted “piling up” after the ball was’
dead. When a Tech halfback was
downgd. it was no unusual sight for
an Indian to lean in the afr and come‘
to earth on the head or body of a
downed player. There was no excuse
for this rough play, but the nmclals‘
did not penalize the Indians for this
during the first half. Tech was called
constantly for offside plav.
Retween the halves,~ Coach Heis
man did caution the officials about
this. and stated he wanted them to
wAyh this part of the play.
Harris returned and pleaded for
shorter periods. Heisman agreed to
nlay shorter quarters, providéd the
Indians would ‘play cleanly and,
would eliminate thelr “piling up” tac
tics. Consequently the third period
was twelve minutes and tha fourth
curtailed to seven and one-half.
g o o
As to the poor sportsmanship of
the Tech players, it is rather exag
gerated. Quite often the Indians were
lifted to their feet by the helping hand
of a paler opponent.
It is true that the game was called
on account of darkness. It was a
long-drawn-out affair, but there were
no end of injuries, infliction of penal
ties and substitutions.
It seems to be a hard matter for
a coach to get a licking arnd not try
to retaliate in some manner. Of
course, Bob Folwell appreciated
Coach Heisman being “merciful” to
him by not running up the Penn
score, He wanted to let friend Heis
know what Harris said, and ‘thought
the best way to do this was in a Phil
adelphia paper!

FEW days .after the articles of

by Bob Fitzsimmons and my

Florida that the club planned to put

made from the executive offices that
no such affair would be permitted
within. the confines of Florida.
When Fitz and I were notified of
this, the news immediately was given
to the papers and a statement was
issued saying that new bids for the
staging of the contest were in order.
Then Dan Stuart, a prominent West
ern promoter of that era, came to
the front and made us an offer of
approximately the same amount of
money which the Florida Athletle
Club had promised, Stuart’s bid was
the best of a number which we had
receivel and we accepted it.
Stuart planned to put on the bout
in Dallas, Texas, and arrangements

,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 exhlbi-‘
tion as his act. A year or go before
he had plaved the leadimf 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, wasi
gomething 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 ail his force,
snap 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

about that; now, jsn't there? * They

There is something bigger and (it

from a certain angle. On two occa
sions, Boh drove the bag into the
faces of men sitting in the “bald head
row” and these fellows 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
avery town -where he played, due to.
'the fact that immediately 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 would
stamp his initials and distribute them
to his friends, or as souvenirs among
the audience. Of cvourse, there was
always a scramble to secure posses
sion of the Fitzsimmons' horseshoess,
and many of them are still treasured
as trophies by the old timers. ‘
ok
Those who knew Fitz in the earlier
days remember him for many things;
included was his singing. Bob never
gave exhibitions on the stage, but
he had a remarkable tenor voice. Had
it been cultivated, there is a likeli
hood that Bob might have become
almost as famous a wuarbler as a
pugilist. Many of Bob'’s friends fre
quently enjoined him to to take a few
lessons in singing, But PBob 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
songse and many men went to Bob's
training quarters more in the hope of
hearing him sing: than of seeing mm;
in his workouts, |
Fitz, as I have stated before, made
a oig hit as a headliner of the
vaudeville troupe and _everything
went along nicely for hilm until he
reached Syracuse. And then came
the most unfortunate incident of Beb
Fitzsimmons' life; one which caused
him great financial loss, great mental
anguish and his arrest and trial on
the charge of manslaughter, 1
It was the death of €Con Riordan,
his sparring partner.
(Editor's Not:) This is the six
teenth chapter of a series of arfincles

career of Bob Fitzsimmons. Few

bout. 5
On Ross’ showing tonight depends

Mickey caa some through witk a vie
tory over Underwood, he will be in
line for some good bouts at the Co
lumbia, as Manager Boone Kelly has
decided to put on some new faces, and
among the soldiers at the camp are a
number of foriner Eastern scrappers,
who previous to their enlistment made
quite a reputation around Philadel
phia and New York, :

Many of the boys have been call

diering, and it's suiely interesting to
sce how the boys continue to ho‘l}“
their love for the sport. Jimmy Friar,
for instance, seldom misses a chan‘o:
to come to town to see the bouts.
Jimmy is the lad who fought Battling

near future.

Tuesday night there will be two four
round bouts, making eighteen rounds
of scrapping in all. These bouts will
be staged in addition to the theatri
cal performance, with no extra ad

On Friday night Terry Nelson and
Young McCarty will be the contest
ants, These boys ought to put up a
slashing bout, as Nelson proved by his
scraps against Battling Budd and Pete
Shaughnessy that he is better than

mighty good boys up East. It's now
up to McCarty and Ross to make
good, as they are sure to pick up quite
