Spectators Must Pay War Tax to
See Auburn-Tech Game.
Much Is at Stake.
By Reuben A. Lewis.
! HERE are several new angles
to the Thanksgiving battle on
Grant Field.
The game will start at 2 o'clock.
Although it has been advertised for
+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 cent 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 & vigorously fought game,
for the Yellow Jackets have much at
stake on the outcome. Should they
score 20 points, they will be heraldea
as the leading point scoring machine
0f 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.

Drastic Liquor Law
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—0 n the
eve of the assembling of Congress
the local authrities put into effect to
day drastic measures to keep whisky
out of Washington. Sixty-one Wash
ingtonians, including three women,
were arraigned in court today charg
ed with violating the law which pro
hibits the interstate shipment of
liquors in unlabeled packages. All
were taken in raids made by the local
police and agents of the Department
of Justice on trains on the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railway while -they were en route
with their “packages” from Baltimore
to this eity. This was the largest
number of prisoners ever arrested on
a liquor charge in this city. !

(Bv International News Service.)
CiIICAGO, Nov. 28 —President
‘Wilscn was called the “chief brewer
of America” by Virgll G. Hinshaw,
chairman of the Prohibition party in
a statement condemning the Presi
dent's decree that beer may contain
no more than 3 per cent of alcohol.
Hinshaw declared the President is
ten years behind Congress and twen
ty-five years behind the American
people in considering beer a rela
tively harmless beverage.
“It is the evident aim of the ad
ministration,” said Hinshaw, “to stem
the tide of prohibition. If the Presi
dent Ead given the food administra
tion full sway national prohibition
would now obtain.”

Reports to the American Railway

Of this number 97,000 cars are call

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
Tech’s powerful drive.

and lost his effectiveness, both as a
pugilist and as a trainer of bhoxers.
Bob Fitzsimmons knew Riordan
while both were in the Antipodes,
and the friendship was renewed after
Bob arrived fn 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 exnibition match with
Bo» he drank a half pint of whisky
in addition to taking other drinks.

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 4:fused
to mix it. Fitz moved arounu a lit
tle, hoping to coax Corn 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
os cue for Riosdan to begin swinging
at Fitz. To the utter amazement of
Fitz and the surprise of the crowd,
Riordan staggered for a &econd or so

However, when it was seen that Rior

MAN doesn’t always get to be captain of his football team by
A being its most brilllant player. Sometimes he gets to be captain
by reason of a row with his coach—at least, Bonner, of Auburn,
did, back fn 1911. But that is a most unusual business, so here goes
for a little story about it.
There {s a Bonner on the Auburn team today, and it {s a brother of
this Bonner. A little brother. He has to be a little brother, although
he is @& 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.
8.8 8
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 scrimmage
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 throukh
his side of the line. and his own backfield was bumping into him on the
attack, and the sawed-off coach was flaylng 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 systemn, 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 Bonner 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 {t. Nobody laughed. Mike told Bonner to turn in his
uniform and never set a foot on that gridiron again.
¥ ¥ &
OW, here {8 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 sround 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. Ilf 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 &
Of course there is only one thing to do when a fellow comes
through like that. Mike went to the stricken Bonner and shook hn"ryxlds
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 positive 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
Heisman selected in his recent serfes of articles on All-Southern
football players for all time. And there was Cogdell, 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 B—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 tham to make such a record. Au

Fred Gets Technical Knockout
Over Gunboat—Deserves Crack
at Jess Willard.
. - .
RED FULTON’'S tory over
Gunboat Smith Tuesday night
in Milwaukee, which he got on
a technical knockout in the seventh
round, further strengthens the Min
nesota giant’'s claim that he is the
logical man to fight Jess Willard for
the championship.
Fulton won easily from the Gunner,
outweighing him about 40 pounds, and
thouglr a bit awkward, completely
showed up the Californian.
Undoubtedly Fulton is the only man
in the country today capable of giv
ing Willard a real fight, for the rest
of the heavies have shown they are
not worthy of encountering the cham
pion.
Fulton has beaten Andre Anderson,
Carl Morris, Sam Langford and
Smith. He knocked out Anderson, got
a decision over Carl and knocked out
Tham and the Gooner. Though none
of the above men are real top-notch
ers now, they are four of the best
the division has.
Smith holds a 20-round point vic
tory over Willard, the present cham
pion, which he secured several years
ago. Smith is a real veteran now,
and though Fulton will get little
praise for his knockout victory eover
the Gunner, it is something that the
other leading heavies today have not
done,
d P P
It is now up to Willard to attach
his signature to the articles of agree
ment for a scrap with Fulton, or re
tire permanently from the ring.
Fulton announced a few days ago
that if Wiliard continued to dodge a
bout with him he would claim the
heavyweight championship and de
fend it against all comers. If there
is no way to coax the peaceable title
holder into a ring with the big plas
terer, Flulton should be recognized by
all as the champion., = .

ÜBURN, ALA. Nov. 28.—Every
A student enrolled in Auburn wae
on the bleachers Tuesday even
ing to watch Coach Donahue’s cohorts
but on the finishing touches before
they meet the mighty eleven of Geor
gia Tech. As usual, befors a big
game, Coach Donahue lets his War

battle, but, belng anxious to get them
In the best trim for the turkey day
affair, he had them working mighty
hard until long after dark Tuesday.
The Tiger coach even has his var
sity squad set against the scrubs,
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 s
planned for the Tigers' benefit, Every
man appeared in pink of condition,
and so far as can be ascertained no
man wil' leave on the trip with a
single ailment,
About twenty stalwart warriors
Il make the trip, and as a reward to
those faithful sorubs who every
evening battled their hearts out
against the varsity, they will also be
taken. Every man on the team is
anxlous for the referee’s whistle to
blow, for all think that they can hold
the Golden Tornado tora low score,
o
UNIVERSITY, ALA., Nov. 28.—The
thin red line will enter the :amo
against Camp Gordon prepared for
a hard fieht. Kelly's gridmen have
but one nfore practice before the game
Thurgday., Every man who will play
is in good physieal condition, and is
anxious to met the Gordon team, The
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 last
one for Alabama, and she is anxious
to win_it.
Coach Kelly has used various for
mations and plays dtiring the prac
tices lately, beringing in nearly every
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.
\n.-\w, O'Connor and Stephenson are
some of the other stars who will be
’ln tiptop condition for the fight, A
large number of men will be carried,
and it is possible that Coach Kelly
will make many changes during the
game. A hard game is expected by
Alabama and in return she is expect
ing to put up a hectic fight.

f LEXINGTON, VA, Nov. 28—Th
Generals had their last practice’ of
the season on the home field Tuesday.
They went through dummy serim
mage on Washington and Jefferson
plays and used several formations
which have been held in reserve for
the Pennsylvanians.
With the exception of Turner Beth
el, varsity tackle, whose injured kfee
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 of
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’
afternoon.
Coach Raftery would make no defl
nite announcement of his line-up. But
it is probable that he will use the
same men who faced Georgetown—
Larkin and Fox ends, Bailey.and Pat
terson, guards; Pierotti, center; Beth
el or Patterson and Atkins, tackles:
Fain, quarterback: Silverstein, full
back; Moss and Raines, halfbacks.
