Annual Game in Nashville Today.
/ . .
Former Tech High Star in
Sewanee Line-up.
ASHVILLE, TENN, Nov. 29—
N Drilled as well as Coach Mc-
Gugin and Coach Best can drill
them, Vanderhil. and Sewanee are
ready fors their annual gridiron battle
here today.
Both teams are on edge and slightly
nervous. Football followers promise
themselves a good game when these
two young elevers meet on Dudley
Field, ho«';\\}se the battle is expected
to be fiercde, between Itwo evenly
matched fwes. g ‘
The winner setms to be a toss-up.
Some pick Sewanee _because in
Worthem they have an individual
star, something vhich Vandy lacks.
The Cgtomar;‘ mass meeting was
held at anderilt last night, when
some enthusiasn was let, éut.
Only 4 light vorkou®swas held yes
terday afternoem, just eniough to keep
the players frem gefting stale.
The weathe! is not cuite cold
cnough for icval fcotball conditions.
A <light rain ate yesterday afterncon
helped the day iield considerably.
o ale e
Every .menaber of the Sewanee
squad is in@as good shapg as could#
be expected Cooper, the big end, who l
was seriousy injured in the Kentucky !
game, is ha&k in harness and will be
abk to plky at least a part of the
game. H, weighs 185, and (s the
smashing type of player. Woodson, |
on the otier flank, weighs only 160, |
hut has delded the palm to no end|
vmv teamhas encountered. |
Skidmre. at left tackle, weighing |
210, and Elam at right, 185 pounds, |
have shwn unusual ability this year. |
Skidmee in particular has been a |
bright ind for the Purple. l
The guards, Minter, who weighsl
190, aad Bancker, of Atlanta, a for- |
mer "ech High player, who tips the
scale at 165, are both good ‘players,
partzularly on defense.
e the center position Payne, 190 |
powds, third substitute on the Iyl
tean. is showing rare form as a
snpper back. Harper at quarter
weghs only 150, and has played the
psition in only three games, having |
ben used at half and full until he
ws shifted to guarter. I
Wright at fullback, who weighs but
5, hits the line like a battering ram,
im( is the best forward passer on the
maf\. Hammond at half, lgailing from
Grifin, Ga., and weighing 150 pounds,
i« prhaps the swiftest runner on the
eleen. He does the kicking for the
Tigrs.
(aptain Wortham with his 155
ponds is the Will-o’-the-Wisp of
Sothern football. .His dodging and
hiken field running™@re nothing short
ofmarvelous. His, return in 1918 is
neertain, and he can be expected .'nl
«je a good account of himseif in |
wat is perhans his last appearance |
o Dudley Field. '
The team is composed of six fresh- |
¥n, three sophomores, one junior |
ad one senior, and the average age is
little over 19 years. The line aver
ges 183 pounds, the backfield 152
jounds and the team as a whole lT?i
ounds. |

HILE Tech and Auburn are
settling a number of ques
tions at Grant Fiedd this aft-|
erncon, to the edification of about a |
‘dozen thousand fans and fannettes,!
who will have to get there-at or be- |
fore 2 o'clock to see the kiek-off—
while these doings are coming off in |
Atlanta, the East has a few prob-l
lems of its own.
Two of these problems stand. out!
with some pre-eminence. The.\’\arnl
the games between Pittsburg and‘
P-nn State, and Pennsylvania "and
(ornell.
The latter is not much of a prob
lem, so far as the ultimate outcome
is concerned. Pennsylvania will win,
in all probability. But the score will
be watched with interest, as fw
nishing additional data ('oncernin;:l
the team which Tech was able 1.0 l
bét so conclusive at the start
thk season, and which has since cut
a big swath in the East. .
* But the Panthers, in Penn State,
ar expected to meet their sturdiest
fe¢ of the season. Gauged by the
sores, Penn State has the second
het scoring machine in the East|
tis year. Tt is a big, fast powerful |
ald well-drilled eleven, with plenty
of confidence and a hearty ambition
ti wallop Pittsburg. The two col-
Jges have met on the gridiron four
tén times, Penn State winning stx
gmes, Pittsburg seven, and one be
jz a tie. The last four contests have
ten won by Pittsburg, and Penn
itate naturally is eager to break uj
he string of defeats.
While these games occupy most otl
the spotlight in the East, there are
other contests worthy of note-—quite
«ufficient te make Turkey Day a
lively. gridiron affair. Here is the
Fastern layout: !
Penn vs. Cornell at Philadelphia.
Pittsburg vs. Penn State at Pitts
burg.
Rochester vs. Carlisle at Rocheé-l
ter.
Georgetown vs. George Washing
ton at Washington.
Holy Cross vs. Vermont at Wor
cester.
F. and M. vs. Gettysburg at Lan-’
caster. ]
Dickinson vs. Catholic at Carlisle.
Bucknell vs. Susquehanna at Lew
ishurg.
Hobart vs. Buffalo at Buffalo.

Soldier Fighter Mixes With
; Sturdy Greek—York and Brown
{ Slated for Next Fight. |
.
| By Harry Lewis.
‘ OLDIER McCARTY, who is being
S touted as quite a crack ring
| man, and Terry Nelson, the
rugged Greek battler, will furnish the
ten-round boxing engagement at the
Columbia Theater tomorrow night.
This bout should develop into some
what of a slugfest, as McCarty is
said to be a slashing fighter, one who
loves the going at his best when mix
ing matters’at close quarters.
.~ McCarty has a large following
among the brown-clad boys at Camp
Gordon, gll of whom think that their
favorite is going to hand Nelson a
‘big surpr’se. lln order to turn thigs
trick McCarty will have to be good,
as Nelson proved in his recent bouts
against Battling Budd and Pete
'Shaughnessy that he is better now
than ever before.
.S o b
" Several other soldier boys have
also put in a bid for the winner of
this tout, which means that local
fans are going to get a chance to see
a number of new faces in action.
Manager Boone Kelly, of the Colum
bia Theater, has been showered with |
requests from the soldiers at the
camp for a chance to show their fistic
wares, and now that they are to get
an opportunity to mix matters some
good scraps should result. A num
ber of the boys at the camp are f()r-l
mer Eastern boxers, who starred in
and around New York and Philadel
phia before they entered the service
of the Unitedy States army.
R
Two four-round bouts will fill out
the fistic show, making eiumeenl
rounds of boxing in all. These con
tests will be staged in addition to|
the theatrical performance, with ne
extra admission charge. Mike Saul,
of course, will be the third man in
the ring, with “Happy” Joe Trent
acting as mutc‘nmakor.!‘
Nevt Tuesday night Kid Brown, the
Greek bantam, and Kid York, At
lanta’s handsome newsboy scrapper,
will probably get into action. Neither
of these lads needs an introduction
to Atlanta ringgoers, as both have |
been making good around these parts
for some time. They also have met
on two ocecasions previous to their
coming encounter, York winning one
of the bouts, while the other ended in |
a draw. The York-Brown go is not
vet closed but “Happy” Joe Trent
expects to sign the boys up either to
day or tomorrow.

The annual game between the Atlan
ta University and Morris Brown teams
will be played Thursday afternoon on
the latter team’s campus. The game |
will start at 2:30 o'clock.

But (speaking of flukes), it is to
be recalled for the benefit of whom
soever it may concern that Auburn
scored twice on Tech in the game of
1911; both times by a rather palpable
fluke. But those two flukes were
enough to win, 11. to 6. And Tech’'s
team of that year was considered at
that time nearly as much better than
that Auburn team as the Tech team
of today is rated better than the
modern Plainsmen. Oh, no-—ngt
QUITE so much better. They didn’t
have tornadoes in those days. But
a whole lot better. Three or four
touchdowns better.

Well, Auburn came on up to At
lanta, and T think the game was at
Ponce De Leon Park, and Tech was
booked for a romp. The romp actu
ally came off, too. Tech romped over
Auburn, all up and down the field.
Auburn gained about two first downs
during the game, Tech romned over
Auburn profuselv-—except within the
S-‘rd zone. There was some diffi
cully about that.
In the meantime, Auburn had pull
ed off two outrageous but highly pro
ductive flukes.
In the first period, Kirk Newell—
the only Auburn regular in the back
field—catught a Tech punt and worked
his way through a disintegrated field
to a touchdown ' from which a goal
was kicked. By the accounting sys
tern in vogue at that time, this made
Auburn 6 and Tech 0.
The flrst period was scoreless for
Tech, and the second also, owing to
unprecedented mulishness on the part
of Auburn when backed up against
the wall.
Auburn pulled no flukes in the sec-

ond quater, “either, not having pos
session of -the ball except on infre
quent occasions of punting the same
from about its own goal line. In the
third period, Tech once more worked
the ball down to the Tigers’ danger
zone. The Tech drive was ripping off
gain after gain, but on account of
Auburn’s stubbornness near the goal
the Tech quarterback decided to try
some new stuff and elected a for
ward pass.
Ted Arnold, a green Auburn sub,
who got in the game largely because
there was nobody else to put in at
end, grabbed the pass~~standing\ on
his own goal line—and in some ingx
plicable manner dodged and wriggled
clear of the fracas and ran the length
of the field to a touchdown. The goal
was missed, but Tech was still 11
points to the Fritz, and the game was
waning. .
Tech was furlows, of cougxse, and
this time the drive went home, In the
same period. Goal was Kicked, and
things cheered up, with the score only
11-6. But in the last period Auburn
had another attack of mulishness
and proved utterly unreasonable
when its goal was approached. And
the game ended with the score still
11-6., »
. o
There is a still earlier precedent,
too—dating back to the year before
le§mzm came to put the jazz into
the "Jackets; in 1903, when Auburn
had a very sour team, with an inde
cisive youngster named Bates (form
erly a Brown star) as coach. ;.
Mr. Bates had a raft of poor ;ma
terial, and he never could settle in
his own wind where to use it. He
shifted his lineup daily, the way
Cholly Frank does with the Crackers
when they aren’t hitting. This is not
a very good way to improve the play
of a football squad, aseit tends to
ward internal eollision and ysubse
quent disruption of plays before the
enemy has a chance at them.
But Mr. Bates had one great kick
er, Boyd. He played him in the line
sometimes-——guard or tackle—and
sometimes at end; and in the Tech
game he played halfback. Also, he
drop-kicked two field goals, ®which (in
those daysg, netted 10 points and
spoilt the day for Tech, who made
only ohe touchdown, good for 6
points, with the duly appended goal.
Mr. Boyd's work got the Jackets all
upset and they really did not do
themselves justice.
But, of coprse, mnext Thursday is
amother day.” Still, it is just as well
to beware a trifle, even if you don't
lose any sleep over it.

Bail was fixed at SIO,OOO. When the
charge was read Fitz broke into
tears. ‘
“Con was one of my pals in my
early days in Australia, and [ wouldn't
have harmed him intentionally for all
the money in the world,” he sobbea.
Despite the repeated assertions of
physiciagns, who had examined Rior
dan, that death had come, not from
the blow delivered by Fitzsimmons,
but from the crash of his head
against the chair, the charge of man
slaughter was sustained. Friends of
Bob in Syracuse came to his rescue
quickly, and Yahk Sullivan, of that
city, put up the SIO,OOO bond.
go op
The following day—November 18—
Con’s body was placed in a vault in
Oakwood Cemetery and Fitz and his
party left Syracuse to continue with
kheir theatrical program. But
roubles for Fitz began to multiply.
Although the death of Riordan was
due to an accident, that part of tne
public prejudiced against the fight
game seized upon this as an excuse
for flaying pugilism with word and
pen.
The business of the theatrical com
pany, which had been tremendous
during the outset of Fitz's connection
with it, fell off appallingly, and on
top of this Fitz had a quarrel with
Captain Glori, his manager, which
culminated in an open rupture and‘
brought about the retirement of
(}‘]Uri.
“ebruary 1, 1895, came around and
Bob Fitzsimmons didn't have the
$2,5600 which he was pledged to put
up as the third installment of the‘
SIO,OOO purse for his fight with me.‘
Had I wished it, I could have seized
upon that misfortune of Bob's as an
excuse to cancel the match, I merely
mention this fact for the beneflt of
some persons who bhave claimed@—
without foundation—that I tried im
every way to back out of a fight with
the great Australian. An opportunityi
to gather in .the $5,000 Bob had al
ready put ip and then cancel the
match was before me. Did I seize it?
Well, here is a direct quotation from
a little book printed more than‘
twenty years ago, which touches on
the situation. J‘

}ev\er think of the scrubs?
~ Because you ought to, and prob
ably you do not.
Scrubs are most useful citizens,
whenrlt comes to compiling a cham
plonship football team. Scrubs are
football players who, as their modest
name implies, are not good enough to
make elther the first-string team or
the substitutes, They are lowly,
though rarely meek. They are the
apotheosis—the last remark in down
troddery and drudginess, in almost
any college. And at Tech, facing a
S('rlmmage with the Tornado every
day' /\‘. . It is to stand aghast.
We mever hear much of the lowly
and useful scrubs. But if it were not
for the scrubs, where, we Inquire,
where would the varsity be?
The scrubs are the sparring part-‘
ners of champions. They are the
composite chopping block; the piece |
de resistance; the ham-&-eggs be
fore the hungry hired man. The
scrub& represent the enemy at all
times. They are drilled in the for
mations of teams.the Tornado is to

daily; not to make a holiday for any
body; but meregly for practice,
And think of what the Tech scrubs
have gone through with this year!

sured them their work was over—that
there would be no more scrimmaging
—that the trip hammer would be for
evermore withheld from their hapless
beans, so far as the season of 1917 was
concerned ?
Did they?
Well, would you?
It seems no more than fitting here,
at the end of a blamed near perfect
season, to say a kind word for the
lowly serubs; to single out what is left
of them—left of about a hundred
from the ruck of anonymity and call
them by name; and give each and
every one of them three rousing
cheers. They have earned that, and
more. Mute, inglorious heroes they
are—not inglorious, either; but cer

The trial of Fitz came up in July,
1895. * Powerful influences were lined
up against Bob, not because they dis
liked him personally, but because
they hoped to bring about the con
viction and so give a further black
eve to pugilism. But friends of Fitz
enlisted splendid legal aid in his be
half and gave to him a young lawyer,
Fred B. House, now a magistrate in
New York City. The climax of the
trial was reached on July 3, when the
jury returned the verdict of “Not
guilty” and Fitz walked out of the
courtroom a free man and with the
stain of “manslaughter” entirely and
justifiably wiped out.
