MEET WITH
Heisman Warns That Auburn Is
Strong and Aggressive—Ducote,
Bonner and Revington Stars.
.
By J. W. Heisman.
HE superb game the Plainsmen
put up last Saturday against
: the twice champions of the
West has certainly served to put new
ssaecmense, life and ambition
L A {iin the Yeliow
; G ;}Jackets, and they
3 grea.lize to the full
o % that they are in
GB e g ino such deplora-
Fm‘ ble state as was
G agd 3 poor Alexander:
é _::;«»:;5@?.-»;'_' -<-:" ;i they are far from
..};"fl_f-'-" '_§i i being on the verge
"}W f4l |of tears because
© e gl |of having no more
“ A & | worlds to conquer.
LT Rl e ! Yes, the game
g i means much to
A i the Jackets, for
B %not only do they
e iwant to go
—s ¢)vo 1 gh their
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
several seasons., It is to be freely ad
mitted that Auburn possessas in these
three men a trio of undoubted stars
o &
1 daresay my warnings regarding
the rapidly growing strength of the
Plainsmen will now be regarded. 1
have been pointing out that there was
no sense in anvone assuming that
Tech would show a superiority .of
anvthing like 50 points against’ Au
burn—those who assert it ask alto
gether too much of Tech and give
eredit to Auburn for altogether too
little: and T am elad that Auburn has
had an opnortunitv to reveal her true
strength before Tech went against
her. Now, it is plain to be seen, that
Tech will have every reason to be
%tickled to death” if she even wins, let
alone rinning unp a score. ¥
The fact is that defeat three weeks
ago hv Davidson was the making of
the Anhurn team. Tt woke them~up
and showed them hnw much better

like the Davidson Wild Cats trv. Pos

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, ang 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 for their share
of hard work. Coach Donahue had his
men out early yesterday afternoon, nnd;
every man wak given all the practice
he could s@nd up under, ‘
Not satistied 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 ofr
Georgia Tech. Auburn men think now
that wonders will never cease, and, if
lthil is .80, 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
ievldences 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 p.i,l.'lk ?l.f‘ co.xf-ldition‘

Both Elevens Average About 165
Pounds — Former Sewanee
- Coach Assisting Best.
By John Dearborn.
EWANEE, TENN., Nov. 27—
S Once the Royal Purple Tiger
must quench his thirst for
Commodore gore,, and once agaln
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
balunced—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
plalylng 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 Alabama, 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, is expected to be a prominent fac
tor in Sewanee's victory or deteat. He
Is probably Sewanee’s most consistent
player, of course excepting Wortham,
who undoubtedly is one of the great
est little backs in the country.
the campus and in s‘plte of the fact that
Davidosn is a big favorite in the bet
ting, the Clemson men are confident
that they will upset the 2ope. The
team will be in perfect shapé 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 in 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 which foretells that every Clemson
man is going into that game determinea
to play the game of his life for a vie
tory.

Heisman Knows Nothing of S. I
. .
A. A. Rule Which Bars First
-39
Year Men Thanksgiving.
-
By Reuben A. Lewis.
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
Jackets, &
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 ng;*eer?bents.'.are binding.
Should 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 Yellow Jackets would not
be embarrassed to any great extent,
but it is naturally the desire of Cloach
Heisman that the regular line-up be
used in the final engagement.
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
game, he was replaced by Blackshear.
He was a game little fellow, but too
Jight to stop the drive of a big man.
The difference was apparent, and
Mike Donahue confessed quite openly
that the matter of substitutes was his
one weak point.
: b B
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 ofe Saturday., The manner
in whieh 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.,
'R T ]
One has asked what is the differ
ence between a big Eastern team,
such as Yale, and Auburn, Tech or
Vanderbilt in thé South. It is the
matter of substitutes. The Big Four
combinations have such a number of
men competing for positions that the
loss of a regular does not appreciably
weaken them. Bus with a Southern
institution, the disparity is marked.
Tech is perhaps 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'eord, Shaver and several
other gridironists.
American Will Open

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—American League
baseball clubs will open the 1918 bage
ball season regardless of war conditions,
according to a statement made here bg:
President Ban B. Johnson., Even thougl
the various clubs may be shy many of
their star players because of the draft
Johnson said, the league will operate as
usual and endeavor to give the publle
the best possible brand 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.
A 154-game schedule, Johnson asserts
probably will be played, but an attempf
will be made to arrange a schedule with
sufficient open dates to make possible
the pmctlc&?ellmln&tion of double-head

Claims Tech's Treatment of In
dians Was Disgusting—Tells
Folwell Received Raw Deal.
!
' DD “Disgruntled Coaches” Neal
A F. Harris, coach of Carlisle.
The bantamweight director
of the Indians, who were over
whelmed 98 to 0 by Tech, avows
in- public print that he was
given a raw deal by the Georg.a
School of Technology. He told Bob
Folwell, so states the Philadelphia
Inquirer, that “I certainly was dis
~gusted at the poor showing aecorded
‘ms‘; t_oam by Georgia Tech last S&t-‘
urda.”
~_ Through Bob Folwell, coach of the
Pennsylvania eleven, the following
lament was made:
- “I certainly was diagulted at the
poor treatment accorded mv team by
Georgia Tech last Saturday. Penn
today both on and off the fleld dis
played good sportsmanship against
my young Indian players. Coacn
Heilsert, 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 tén minutes,
called because of darkness. lam sure
of this, as two of us kept a stop watch
and we tallied on the time. During
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 F. 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
vening time is anly of one week. Ha
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 smaller
and weaker opponents. When a
Carlisle player fell he was often help
ed to his feet by one of the Penn
players.
o ok
Poor Lo! When the facts are re
viewed it would hardly seem that the
Indians were roughly treated. Be
fore the game, Carlisle asked for
'shorter periods, although a $3.000
guarantee was to be pald 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 Indlans
started ‘“niling up” after the ball was
dead. When a Tech halfback was
downed, it was no unusual sight for
an Indian to leap in the air and come
to earth on the head or body of a
downed player. There was no excuse
for this rough play, but the officials
did not penalize the Indians for this
during the first half. Tech was called
constantly for offside plav. '
Between the halves, Coach Hels
man did caution the officialg about
this. and stated he wanted them to
wegh this part of the play.
Harris returned and pleaded for
shorter periods. Heisman agreed to
nlay shorter quarters, provided the
Indians would play cleanly and
would eliminate thelr “piling up” tac
tics. Consequently the third period
was twelve minutes and the fourth
curtailed to seven and one-half, |
o b |
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 and 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.

Scene Is Shifted to Dallas
FEW days after the articles of
A of agrebment had been signed
by Bob Fitzsimmons and my
self for a contest before the Florida
S—— Athietlo Club, of
| N Y \gi Jacksonville,
g A:. ¥ § “sometime in
§ mk £ 1395, word came
& ‘ F: § that the club
PR os4B § could not stage
SHE x\g‘& .4 f the bout in that

CHER AL the bid for the

i would permit the
fight But as soon as word reached
Florida that the club p'anned to put
on the contest, announcement was
made from the executive offices that
no such affair would be permitted
within the confineas 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
appreximately the same amount of
money which the Florida Athletic
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
started at once for the staging of the
contest in that city along about

Meanwhile, Bob Fitzsimmons had
gone on a tour with a vaudeville
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
tion 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,
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

to snap the cord whenever he hit it
from a certain angle. On two occa
sions, Bo» drove the bag into the
fares of men sitting in the “bald head
row" and these fellows promptly
threatencd 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 immediately upon en
tering he would hunt ug 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 ameng
the audience. Of course, there was
alwaya a scramble to secure posses
sion of the Fitzsimmons' horseshoess,
and many of them are still treasured
as trophies by the old timers.
o P
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 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 untralned
voice which was rare in its sweet
ness.
“Oh, Promise Me” was Bob's fa
vorite gsong 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 quarters more in the hope of
hearing him sing than of seeing him
in his workouts.
Fitz, as I have stated before, made
a olg hit as a headliner of the
vaudeville 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 menta)
anguish and his arrest and trial on
‘the charge of manslaughter.
|} was the death of Con Riordan,
‘his sparring partner.
