Should Jackets Score Three
Touchdowns Against Auburn
. . .
They Will Lead in Scoring.

By J. W. Heisman.
OMORROW'S football game be
tween Tech and Auburn will be
a momentous one for both
teams, but particularly so for Tech.

CH pee f purg, the nearest
DAL team to Tech,
s wamsess% ohowing hundreds
of points less in their credit column
and half a dozen more on the depit
side of their ledger.
If you will reflect a moment you
will readily eomprehend that the
Tech players would aimost sooner
part with a finger, yea, a hand, than
to come down to second place in
either this marvelous offensive record
or this splendid defensive showing,
and particularly so when the winning
of this game tomorrow would mean
that, in most corners, they would be
hailed as the best team of the year
throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Already have the Jackets
freely been so acclaimed in the South
and West, and even in the East there
are not a few who so regard them,
while if, on top of this past record,
they can defeat a team that played
the pride of the West to a standstlll
hut five days ago, then will they, in
all probability, be hailed even in the
Kast as a better team than the mighty
Pittsburgers.
But Tech had hoped to score the
necessary 20 points on Auburn that
would again make them the first scor
ing team of the year, as they were in
1916. At present the strong Navy
team is 19 points ahead of them, and
therefore an even score of points
against the rejuvenated Plainsmen
would he required for Tech to take
rank again as the best scoring ma
chine of the country, Can Tech do it?
00l ele e
After seeing how Donahue’s fine
team held down the Buckeyes that
seems utterly impossible, the more so
as Auburn made this fine stand
against Ohio knowing scarcely a thing
about the latter's play, while the Au
burn scouts have seen and watched
with the eyes of a hawk every game
that Tech has played this year. Add
to this their improved morale and
fishting confidence, their desire for
revenge for the last two years of de
feat at the hands of Tech, the realiza
tion that if they can win from Tech
they will have done more than any
other team Tech has met in the last
three yvears, and you can see that Au
burn has every right and reason to be
considered a tartar: the real question
of the hour should be whether Tech
can win at all, not whether she can
score 20 points on the Plainsmen.
If Tech should score 20 points on
Auburn by some miracle you can bet
ter believe there will be some noise in
the Tech cheering sections the in
stant the twentieth point is tallied
that shall send Tech to the front in
scoring as wall as in victories.
Tech’'s line-up will be about as
usual. There is some doubt as to
whether Whelchel will have recovered
sufficiently to play, for he has not
serimmaged a down since the second
quarter of the Indian game. Harlan's
chances for getting in are not overly
bright either. He did go into the In
dian game for a few minutes, but had
to come right out again, as his in
jured muscles would not stand the
racket, and he also has not had a
serimmage down since. In case nei
ther of them can make it the line-up
will probably be:
Center, Phillips; right guard, Dow
ling; left guard, Mathes; right tackle,
Carpenter; left tackle, Higgins; right
end, Rell; left end, Fincher; quarter,
Hi1l: left half, Strupper; right half,
Guyon, and fullback, Guill
G ok B
Guvon is about all right again and
the rest are in good shape also. Rogers
is rapidly getting over his boils,
though he has been out of the hurly
burly over two weeks.
It appears that the two teams are
very evenly matched as to weight,
while Tech has one more veteran in
the game than Auburn.
With one team that has amply
proven itself to be nlaying quite as
good football as the champions of the
West arrayed against one that has
thus far proven itself the best in the
Sonth, we may well lock for just about
the best game to come off that has
ever been staged in Dixie. In Ducote
the visitors will show a ground-gainer
who is far and away superior to any

Spectators Must Pay War Tax to
~ See Auburn-Tech Game.
\
i Much Is at Stake.
By Reuben A. Lewis.
HERE are several ne wangles
I to the Thanksgiving battle on
Grant Field.
The game will start at 2 o'clock.
Although it has been advertised at
2:30, the authorities determined to
begin at 2 o'clock that the battle
might end before nightfall.
A war tax must be paid. It will
be necessary for every one who gains
admission to the field to contribute
10 per ¢ent of the admission price of
his ticket to the United States war
fund.
To facilitate the handling of the
crowds, each ticket will have the
gate number stamped upon the back,
and the spectators are urged to pre
sent the cardboards at the gate
designated.
Indications are that a record crowd
will be in attendance. The weather
should be fair, though a bit misty. It
should be a vigorously fought game,
for the Yellow Jackets have much at
stake on the outcome. Should they
score 20 points, they will be heralded
as the leading point scoring machine
of the United States
If they defeat Auburn worse than
did Davidson, the Jackets will be ac
claimed the greatest eleven in the
nation. Marked victories over Penn
sylvania and Carlisle ‘have given
Tech a reputation in the East. Au
burn, by holding Ohio State scoreless,
must be highly regarded in the West.
A victory over Auburn will assure
recognition in the conference terri
tory.
man they brought to Atlanta last
vear, and Revington’s greatly im
proved form places him not far be
hind his sterling compatriot. And
Bonner, at right tackle, is undoubt
edly All-Southern timber; yes, frank
ly, I intend to find a place somewhere
on the All-S. 1. A. A. team for that
fellow. And the rest of the Auburn
outfit is worthy of these three great
stars,
The officials will be referee, Cap
tain Elcock; umpire, Lieutenant Cos
grove, of Cornell, who umpired the
Penn-Tech game, and J. S. Counsel
man, of V. P. I, who has officiated for
years in Southern games. This in
sures a most capable corps of officials,
men who know their business and en
joy reputations not to be impugned.
Gloriana! What a game it will be!
I doubt if Atlanta will ever again see
its like.

Sparring Partner Intoxicated
Dies After Exhibition With Fitz
\ ON RIORDAN made a fine rec
ord as an amateur boxer in
Australia in the early 80's and
decided to go to San Francisco to try
SRR hig luck there as a
i S e z .
i R o # professional ring
-5 £ g ;é man. He arrived

@ SR Bl @ drifted into the
§ i é occupation of
i | R 3 training boxers.
g R §As time went on
ST e e S Riovdan became
somewhat intemperate in his habits
and lost his effectiveness, hoth as a
pugilist and as a trainer of boxers,
Bob Fitzsimmons knew Riordan
while hoth were in the Antipodes
and the.friendship was renewed after
Bol} arrived in America in 1890. Then
their pathways separated, and Rior
dan and Fitz didn't see each other
for a few years. However, just be
fore Fitz went on the road with the
vaudevilla show in October, 1894,
Riordan hunted up the freckled war
rior and asked him for a job as a
sparring partner in the exhibition
matches which Fitz gave on the
stage. Bob had learned that Rior
dan was drinking heavily and at first
rejected him on that account. Bob
was a stickler for sobriety in his camp.
But Riordan pleaded for the job so
ardently and promised so faithfully
to turn over a new leaf that big,
warm-hearted Bob finally gave in and
hired Con.
And to his dying day Bob Fitzsim
mons regretted that action, because
it led up to the saddest experience of
nis life,
When Bob and his theatrical troupe
appearsd in Syracuse on November
16, 1894, Riordan, who had tried his
best to stay away from liquor, broke
loose again without the knowledge of
Bob. Just a few hours before he
went on in an exhibition match with
Bob he drank a half pint of whisky
in addition to taking other drinks.
o
Con was scheduled to do the first
sparring that night with Bob. Con’s
orders were to rush in at Fitz with
the tap of the gong and furnish some
exercise for him. But on this night
Con ignored instructions. He went
to the center of the ring, but refused
to mix it. Fitz moved around a lit
tle, hoping to coax Con into making a
few swings, but Con stood little more
than motionless. Then Fitz sent a
light tap to Con’s jaw. It was merely
a “tickle” punch, delivered as a sort
of cue for Riordan to begin swinging
at Fitz. To the utter amazement of
Fitz and the surprise of the crowd,
Riordaa staggered for a second or so
Bonner is the star of the forwards, although Caton is a rather
clever snapperback. The Auburn line is perhaps the heaviest in
the South, and has shown great power when the opposition nears
Its goal line. It will be interesting to see whether they can check.

after Bob had tapped him lightly and
then crumpled to the floor.
Bob didn’t know *vhrt to make of
the incident, nor did anyone else.
Every spectator knew that Fitz had
not hit Riordan hard enough to jar
him, much less send him to the floor.
However, when it was seen that Rior
dan didn't get up, there was just one
thing to do—to carry him out of the
ring. Ired Block, of New York, was
acting as theatrical manager for Bob
Fitzsimmons at that time. Charles
Glori, former captain of police in
Newark, N. J., was Fitz’s prize-ring
manager. Together the two men car
ried Riordan out of the ring and
seated him on a cnalr near one of
the exits. All this time Riordan
seemed to be in a stupor.

and onto the floor. He then was
picked up and carried to the back of
the stage, and then taken to his
hotel at orders from physicians, He
died there two hours later.

Boone Kelly Should Never Have
Allowed Loser in House—Two
Fast Preliminaries.
o
By Harry Lewis.
T'S mighty tough to see a good
I sportsman make a bad mistake,
but this is just what Manager
Boone Kelly, of the Columbia The
ater, did last night when he allowed
the lad who styles himself as Mickey
Ross to enter his playhouse. The lat
ter is just about the biggest frost I
have seen in a long time, and his at
tempts to even make a showing
}«glainsl Johnny Underwood were piti
ul.
In the past Manager Kelly had been
in the habit of allowing Mike Saul
and “Happy” Joe Trent to do all his
matchmaking, but for some reason or
other Kelly allowed himself to be
fooled by a lot of “guff” that this
Ross boy had been shooting, and as a
result Kelly decided to book this
match. The result should teach the
people connected with the Columbia
Theater a good lesson, and hereafter
I hope that things will be left in the
hands of Saul and Trent, two boys
who have done more to make the
game here than anyone else in this
section of the cmmtr)a.
: ok
Mike's little talk at the end of the
fiasco told the story, although the
words he uttered are not fit to put in
print. I doubt if there was a sadder
man in the house than Boone Kelly
himself, when it was all over, but he
was warned against this same thing,
and he can thank himself that he has
a string of good bouts to look back to
that will cause the crowd present last
night to forget that a lad by the name
of Ross even made his appearance
here.
g
" It took the fans but a few minutes
to find out just what this Ross boy
was. The latter quit cold before the
third round even started, refusing to
leave his corner for this session, de
spite the fact that his seconds tried
harde to shove him from his corner.
If Boone Kelly paid the boy one
nickel, he made even a worse mistake
than he did when he first matched
him to o on with Underwood.
o
The preliminaries, booked by Happy
Joe Trent, were very good, being up to
the usual standard. Two bouts were
staged, both being four-round affairs.
In one of these scraps “Battling”
Bloomberg and Kid Sailor put up a
fast battle, while in the other go
Young Flynn and Jack Leary also
staged a slashing go. These two
scraps afforded the fans with eigh\t

MAN doesn’t always get to be captain of his football team by
A being its most brilliant player. Soffietimes he gets to be captain
by reason of a row with hisg coach--at least, Bonner, of Auburn,
did, back in 1911. But that is a most unusual business, so here goes
for a little story about it.
There is a Bonner on the Auburn team today, and it is a brother of
this Bonner. A little brother. He has to be a little brother, although
he is a very sizable athlete. The original Bonner was 6 feet 7 inches
tall. He did not weigh as much as you might fancy, from all this alti
tude; but he packed about 180 pounds of bone and gristle, and he was
very hard to kill--and quite fast for so longitudinal a man.
Well, this elongated Bonner had been a sub the year before; and
in 1911, at the start of the season, he was regarded as about a half
regular. Mike thought sometimes Bonner would make the first string
and then again he thought he wouldn't.
o B
It was while Mike was in the latter frame of mind one afternoon
that this incident happened. Mike was in a very large temper for so
small a football coach. He was snapping at the men in serimmage
practice—riding them all over the lot. The scrubs had scored, and
Mike was all out of step with his usually sunny disposition.
Bonner was having a bad day. The scrubs were sifting through
his side of the line, and his own backfield was bumping into him on the
attack, and the sawed-off coach was flaying him alive every two minutes.
Bonner knew he was going badly, and that got on his nerves as much
as Mike's riding. His nerves got all frazzled out, and when you frazzle
out six feet and seven inches of nervous system, it is some frazzle.
Bonner’s self-command disappeared all in a lump as Mike rapped
out an unusually brisk comment. He wheeled on the little coach and
looked down at him as if from the top of a stepladder,
“You go to hell!” he said, crisply.

Mike was astounded. but probably no more so than the usually
docile Ronner as he realized the enormity of his crime. Mike was
prompt to act. Standing on tiptoe and reaching up as high as he could,
he took a firm hold of the scruff of Bonner's neck, spun him around,
and propelled him in a sort of staccato fashion toward the sidelines,
frequently booting him in the most convenient portion of his anatomy.
It must have been the funniest performance ever seen on a foot
ball field, but the other members of the squad were too stricken to see
the humor of it. Nobody laughed. Mike told Bonner to turn in his
uniform and never set a foot on that gridiron again.

OW, here is where Bonner got right.
N The big fellow was heart-broken. He realized that it was his
fault and he was crazy to straighten things out. Also he was
man enough to own up and apologize. He did not sneak around and
apologize on the quiet to Mike. He went through with it like a man.
Bonner wrote out and ‘“posted” his apology, not only to Mike, but
also to the entire student body. He asked their forgiveness and hoped
Mike would see his way to reinstating him on the squad, If Mike
would\do that, Bonner promised that whether he ever made the varsity
or not, he would be out there to fight, bleed and die for Auburn as long
as Mike would permit him to.
&8 s
Of course there is only one thirg to do when a fellow comes
through like that. Mike went to the stricken Bonner and shook hands
with him. and possibly made him a small apology on his own account.
And Bonner came back to the squad next day—and in less than twenty
minutes Mike was poesitive that he had at least one guard’s job taken
care of,

ONNER played great ball all that season; but that wasn't what
B elected him captain at the end. There was Caton, whom Jack
Helisman selected in his recent series of articles on All-Southern
football players for all time. And there was Cogdeil, All-Southern end
and tackle. They were put forward as candidates, too. It was a vote
by plurality, and when they counted the ballots Cogdell had 7, Caton
had S~—~and Bonner had 9.
And, oddly enough, everybody was pleased and happy.
Bonner made a grand captain in 1912, He fulfilled his promise to
fight, bleed and die, playing in every game that year without losing one
minute’s time-——the only man on the team to make such a record. Au
burn did not lose a game in the Southern Association that year, al
though the team was badly shot to pieces after the Texas trip, which
took eight regulars off for a while with fever.

scheduled to bex Terry Nelson, and
the Brooklynite might as well know
right now that he must give the fans
a run for their money or he had bet
ter not make his appearance here, as
the boys connected with the sport
here do not intend to allow any out
siders to kill a sport that it has taken
such hard work to put on a sound ba
sis. As for Ross getting on here any
more, he might as well kiss all his
chances good-bye. Last night killed
him for good. 1

A student enrolled in Auburn was
on the bleachers Tuesday even-
Ing to watch Cloach Donahue’s cohorts
put on the finishing touches before
they meet the mighty eleven of Geor
gla Tech. As usual, hefore a big
game, Coach Donahue lets his war
riors rest on the last day before the

in the best trim for the turkey day

hard until long after dark Tuesday.

and, while the scrimmage was not
hard, vet every man had all he want
ed. The team will leave today for
Atlanta, and a great send-off is
planned for the Tigers’' benefit. Every
man appeared in pink of condition,
and so far as can be ascertained no
man will leave on the trip with a
single ailment, ¢
About twenty stalwart warriors
11l make the trip, and as a reward to
those faithful scrubs who every
evening battled their hearts o t
against the varsity, they will also g.

squad has been practicing nearly two
weeks for the tilt and will exert every
ounce of stuff it has to defeat the op
ponents, as the game will be the lagt
one for Alabama, and she is anxious
to win it.
Coach Kelly has used various for
mations and plays during the prac

play that the Crimson outfit has used
during the season. It is likely that
Alabama will use a varied attack
against the soldlers.
Stowers, the star of the Kentucky
game, will start at quarter station.
Rowe, O'Connor and Stephenson are
some of the other stars who will be
in tiptop condition for the fight, A

Generals had their last practice of
the season on the home field Tuesday.

the Pennsylvanians.
With the exception of Turner Beth

has not come around and who will
probably not start the game, the
Washington and Lee squad is in good
shape and have reached the top of its
form, In case Bethel does not start
the game either J. Patterson ot
Sede Scovell will be used in his po
sition. The Generals will leave for
Richmond this morning, and will have
a workout in the Boulevard park this

Larkin and Fox ends, Bailey and Pat
terson, guards; Pierotti, center; Beth
el or Pattersen and Atkins, tackles:
Fain, quarterback; Silverstein, full
back; Moss and R.;!l'ine:i,.‘ halfbacks. .
