TECH PLAYS CLEMSON
AT GRANT FIELD TODAY
-Heisman Looks for Grea—t—— Contest Between
Tigers and Jackets—Many Stars on Visiting
Team—Backfield Still Uncertain.
By J. W. HEISMAN.'\'
Coach of Tech Foothall Team.
Clemson is said to have about the
heaviest football team the South Car
olinans have ever put out. Further
more, they are
men of athletic
moid, well built e
chaps who com- b = A
bine speed and |{ g MEEN l

ets at Grant Field this afternoon.
Captain Banks, at quarterback, is
one of the fleetest and niftiest men
with the pigskin under his arm thatl
the South can boast of today. Against
Tech last year this stocky, black
haired youngster did three-quarters
of the work of his team, and this year
he is a heap better man than he was
then. He is a field general of re
nown and can be depended upon to
run his team with the precision and,
dexterity of a Napoleon.
His redoubtablie henchinan, Arm
strong, is another back whose work
stands out in any contest like a star
in the blackest\night. He plays right/
half this year, And the way he bucks
through an opposing line is said to bei
a sight for old timers to marvel over.
Heavy, fast, dashing and a bull for
strength it takes an exceptional de
fense to stop him, and we well know
that the Tech defense is going to be
tested to its uttermo?t the coming
game by these two splendid backs. 1
LIGHTSEY CRACK LINEMAN. ‘
The best lineman on the Clemson
outfit is, probably, Lightsey, who an-}
swers the roll call at right guard.
This chap weighs about 200 stripped
and has the speed and shiftiness of a
back. He not only plays havoc with
the opposing line on defense, but he
is a terror at opening up holes fpr
his backs on offense. Tech's left
guard will undoubtedly have his hands
full handling this chap from start to
finish. Lebey will probably be the
man to face Lightsey, and, though
lighter than the latter by thirty
pounds, you can depend upon it that
you will see a battle that will last
the full distance, for Lebey is one
of the gamest men that ever set foot
in shoe leather, and he knows some
football, too. It will be a fine test of
what Dave can do{la the way of hola
ing his own against the Vanderbilt
and Pitt guards. Dave has the nec
essary sand—put a pin in that. |
TIGERS PASS WELL.
It is expected that Glemson will
try many forward passes, as they are
good at open field work. They have
some good ones and they may gain
Jots of ground with them. And then!
again they may have a number of
their skyrockets intercepted and—|
BLAM! You never can tell a thing
about this forward pass business.
When it’s going right it's a beautiful
thing to watch and to work, and you‘
wonder at such times why teams
don’t oftener resort to this very sim- |
ple and easy looking methed of gain
,ing ground, when other methods ap
pear so hard and gruelling. ‘
But the Tigers do something else
besides pass well. They buck with
exceptional excellence and their end
running is very, very ‘good, indeed.
Furthermore, they have the condition
and stamina. So, altogether, Tech is
jn for as fine a tuning up game as
they could have selected at this time
of the year, and it may well be that
most of the tunes will be played by
the visitors. But we're on our guard.
It's not a case of despising the en
emy, with the Jackets; they are very
well impressed with the strength of

.the Clemsonians and are going to do
their best to get going right—and that |
from the first kick off. 1
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS AT CENTER.
For Tech, we shall probably see
Captain Phillips at center. Thus far
he has had no recurrence of his in
jury in this week's practise and is in
better shape than any preceding day
of the season. On either end will be
found Fincher and Staton, both of
whom are in good shape and r{my be
depended upon to give us their best
always. At left tackle will be “Old
Reliable” Higgins, and at right tackle
Lyman. The former is a veteran, the
latter a freshman, albeit one who
weighs a plenty, who has fair speed'
and likewise fair experience and one
who has given satisfactory evidence
of being a genuine fighter. At guards
will be Lebey and—who? Dowling
got a bad kick in scrimmage last
Tuesday and it's not at atll sure he
can get in the line-up today . If he
can't probably Webb will be played
at right guard. The latter played the
position regularly last year, weighs
enough, knows a lot more of football
than he did a year ago, and is anxious
to get in. He'll do, I fell pretty sure.
If not, then Doyal will get a crack
at it, and Doyal has played enough
football to prove a holy terror to any
opposition if we can but get his
“Dutch” up. Nesbitt is another guard
whose defense I will risk witha that
of any man on the Tech squad at
the guard’s position. \ {
The backfield is still an uncertain
ty. Probably Guill will be able to
start at quarter, but I doubt if it will
be advisable to keep him there the
whole game. However, in McDon
ough we havye a boy who won his
spurs last Saturday and who can be,
counted upon to do yeoman service
and hold his head, even though he be
a freshman. A coming player, this
boy; watch him. |
The halves look like Flowers and
Barron. Nothing much seems the
matter with either one of théem at
this writing, and I believe they will
have the best day they have had this
year. What we may hope for against
the Commocdores a week hence will
depend a whole lot on how these two
lads perform this afternoon. I be
lieve I can count on them.
HARLAN AT FULL.
And fullback? Well, Harlan is the
s¢lection if he’'s sound, and if he isn't,
why, then, it will be Giavir. Neither
of them is in tip-top shape, but the
two of them may be able to start and
finish the game between them. Pos
sibly Giavir will play a Dbit at quar
ter.
Our first reserve in the backfield is
Frank Ferst, who knows quarter, half
and full and plays a good game at
either one of the three pos‘:lons.
Frank has been hothered and Pandi
capped the whole season by first one
joint sprain and then another; but
now he seems to be sound and whole
again, so we may hope to see him
swinging back into his old time form
in a hurry. {
Little Scarborough is another back
who hasn’t been feeling as well this
fall as he should, and this illness has
held " him back. There is no more
conscientious player on the entire
squad and ng man ever tried harder
to help his ttam and his coach than
does this boy. He'll get in some-‘
where, ‘
There is a question just now about
Amis’ eligibility in S. 1. A. A, games
and until that is straightened out, of
course, we can not use him. But we
still have Davis as reserve snapper,
and Davis played the position entire
ly acceptably in a number of varsity
games last fall. Besides, if it came
to a showdown we could put Lebey
at snapper, and he's a good one.
Granger is another satizfactory snap
per, so we're not worrying any in \that
‘department, ‘
~ It's going to be a rip-snorter of a
game—take my word for it. |

would be the favorite to win.
Something like 100 golfers will be
in the running. The city champion
ship was inaugurated at Druid Hills
and has also been played at Brook
haven once, but this is the first time
it has been held over the East Lake
course. .
A beautiful trophy has been hung
up for the winner of this tourna

the wifiners in all of the other flights.
The runners-up will be given prizes,
also.
Druid Hills, Capital City, West End,
Ansley Park and Ingleside will be
represented in the play, which will
be from scratch in all flights, handi
caps being ruled out altogether. Thd
play is for only one week, the tourna

Bartfield Tells Why
Boxers Should Not
Wager on Themselves
By ED W, SMITH.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—Soldier Bart
field may be a rough, tough bird in
the ring, but he is a good calculator
and careful analyst when he is out
side of the ropes. For a rough
toss scrapper he has an astonishing
lot of good sense. He boxed Johnny
Tillman the other night m Mike
Collins’ arena in Minneapolis ana
had that battle figured out to a
“p» when I talked to him on his
way to the scene
Likewise he had a few other
things figured out. He boxed Ben
ny Leonard in Philadelphia about
three weeks back and put up a
surprisingly good battle with the
lightweight ¢hampion. It proved to
be quite a betting afair, and the
result was that both Bartfield ana
his manager, Dan McKetrick, got
hooked and wagered heavily on the
soldier's chances in the battle. This
gave rise to some philosophy on,the
part of the soldier.
SHOULD DODGE BETTING.
“No fighter should ever bet on
himself, and at the same time
shouldn’t permit his manager or
anybody closely connected with his
camp to do any betting,” opined the
swarthy battler, ‘“There’s a very
simple reason for this, and here it
is. It ruins a fighter's ring work.
Take the Leonard fight, for in
stance, I bet close to $2,500 on my
gelf and Dan McKetrick simply
went into hock with everything ne
had. He had on about $7,500 at 4
to 1 on my chances. Dan was will
ing to bet 2 lot more, but [ stopped
him.
“Now, if we hadn’t gone so strong
1 would have done a lot better in
the fight ftself. You see, after [
got started I wasn't willing to give
him a chance to crack me on the
chin. Neither was Dan when he re
alized how deep we were in The
result was I fought much too care
ful a fight to do any good in six
rounds.
“Leonard’'s a great boy, all right,
and you've got to fight him care
fully or yotake a chance of get

sportsmanship. This is not the
first time the dope has been spilled
and it won't- be the last. In base
ball you never can tell.
; PULL OLD STUFF,
A few of the unwise said when
the count stood 4-1 that they were
playing for the money. That's old
stuff. The players control the sit
uation and as their share stopped
after thai fifth game, why should
they prolong the agony? And as
you know, ball players are most
temperamental. -What would stop
them from flying into print at the
first grievance they had against
the club owners? The direct result
of this series was caused by the
Cincinnati team being a better ball
club than they were given credit
for, and any team that could beat
the Giants and the Cubs as they
did should have been looked upon
with a great deal of consideration.
. Last spring I picked the Cubs to
win, as they looked to have a great
team, and if my picking of them
was their jinx, I'm glad of it.

OAHLONEGA
CTING
By CHARLES SHONESY.
A new angle has been discovered in
regard to the Tech High-Dahlonega
football game Saturday morning at
Grant Field. The visitors are ex- |
pecting to win by at least three touch
downs, and unless they accomplish
this the team a&nd school will be
|dreadfully disappointed. That is a
{act,
l Captain Jordan of Tech High was
highly amused when this news was
'brought to him. His ondy reply was,
as usual, “We shall see.” The teams
’wlll stack up about even. Both have
heavy \lines, and only mediocre back
fields, with the shade probably in
Dahlonega's favor, ‘
That Dahlonega, backfield cem
sed of Lunsford and Gaston half
cks, Way quarterback and Divver
fullback, is about as good as the
scilool has ever had. It is fast, has
the kicking ability, and can gain
around either the ends or through the
line,
The line, composed of Henry Broad
nax, an Atlanta boy, and Sullivan,
ends; Nicholson and Cornog, eackles;
Hopkins and Blanton, guards, and
Bell, center, can compare with the
backfield. Bell is a brother of old
Cy, who used to perform for Tech.
He is about as large as his brother,
and is an excellent snapper.
The guards, Hopkins and Blanton,
are both heavy players, who charge
low and play their position admirably.
The tackles. are the strength of the
line. Cornog, at left tackle, is about
the best prep tackle In the State. His
work this year has exceeded all ex
pectations, and upon him the visitors
are placing their hopes. Henry
Broadnax is small, but fast, and is a
good tackler, making an all-around
good end. Sullivan is a good running
mate for the popular Atlanta boy.
Tech High has no set-upsin this
game. Their mettle will be tried.
Every play of the visitors works off
‘the famous Tech shift. If the forma
‘tion runs smoothly, Tech High will
indeed have to work to win this game.
~ To have seen the Smithies practice
during the past week, learning several
new plays and getting into far better
shape than ever, and then to learn in
almost the same breath that they are
going to get licked by three touch
‘downs, is hard to grasp.
. Every day since the McCallie game,
‘the Smithies have sprinted around the
track at. Poncey at least six times.
‘Also, they have been scrimmaging
every day. Tech High will be in
shape for the game. :
The probable line-ups:
Dahlonega. Tech High.

Three years ago George (“Knock

The promoter §: ', 24 t
of the show i (SEEEREE. t
guaranteed {5 Gl GEE
Brown SBOO for 'u‘ .
his end, with JZEE SNEeer &
the privilege of {it el & ;&I
30 per cent of i & i
the gate. A sum o 4T £ I
of about® $560 LN E
Was also agreed LM sol
upon for REd James J. Corbett.
Smith, the referee.
Brown started off in the first
round by dropping a few jabs upon
Skelly's face, and then, finding an
opening, shot through a right hook
that flattened Skelly for the full
count,
Immediately after the fight was
over Brown and his manager hunt
ed up the promoter of the show.
“What was the gate?” they asked.
“Four thousand one hundred dol
lars,” was the repsys.
“Well, that makes our share
$1,210,” said Brown.
“It means nothing o;((he sort,”
responded the promwoter. “You
agreed to fight ten rounds, didn't
you?”
“Yes” f
“Well, you didn’t fight even one.
But I'll allow you for working a
full round even if you did work
only for 30 seconds. Here's your
share.”
“And the promoter handed
Brown sl2l.
“How do you figure it this way?"”
demanded Brown.
COUDN'T FIGURE IT.
“Well, you were to get 30 per
cent of the gate for a ten-round
exhibition,” explained the promoter.
“Thirty per cent of $4,100 is $1,210.
That was to be yours for fighting
ten rounds. But you only fought
one round. So all you get Is one
tenth of that, which is sl2l. Take
it or leave it."”
At this momen ¥d Smith, the
referee, hove into view and made

SEWANEE STARS OUT OF
CONTEST WITH HOWARD
|
| SEWANEE, Tenn., Oct. 11.—The
tirst real football weather reached
the Mountain yesterday, and it was
very welcome to the Tiger football
ers; for Coach Abell has had them
on the move every instant since theé
Morgan game. The practise has
doubled in its intensity, and if a first
class team isn’t the result it won't
be the coach’s fault.
With the Howard game scheduled
for Saturday, speculation is rife as
to who will fill the shoes of Braly,
Bettle and Scott in the line and
lClark at quarter. All of these men
are incapacitated from injuries, and
|there seems to be little doubt that
!they will be on the side lines Sat
urday. Braly has a very bad knee,
Iwhue Bettle and Clark have split
muscles. Scott dislocated his shoul
lder so badly in practise the other
iay that it seems hardly likely that
he can get in the game for about
a week.
Bettle and Scott are both centers,
while Braly has been trying out at
_hat position for the Sewanee Mili
tary Academy team last year, is out
' guard. No other likely looking cen
ter is in sight. Snowden, who played
for the job, as are others, but they
are all light and rather inexperi
enced, Braly, Clark and Bettle are
letter men and their. loss will be felt
to a considerable extent.
BACKFIELD STRENGTHENED,
If the line has been weakened by
the loss of the men just referred to,
there is much joy in the hearts of
wll Sewanee supporters that the
backfield has been materially
strengthened. The cause of all this
joy is nothing other than the fact
that Eben Wortham, the great lit
tle all-Southern half of two years
ago, has returned to the Mountain
and donned the purple. Wortham
has taken on some weight during
his sojourn in the army, but is fast
' rounding into shape; and with his
speed and dodging ability ought to
be a hard man to stop. This is his
last year in college football, and the
e GOLF LINIKS 2
Taking into consideration the
many clubs for different uses and
the size of the golf ball used, it
is a marvel that the degree of con
trol exercised by the links de
votees is so great.
A man’s skill is estimated largely
by the control he exercises over the
implements of the game, and it is
an absolute necessity, If one ex
pects to reach a high average of
achievement; yet perhaps few ac
tually realize its value. Control
varies to a marked degree® even
with ‘the expert, and it is this
chance that has made the game
what it is—the most fascinating
under the sun.
GOLF ALWAYS UNCERTAIN.
“If a man were a perfect ma
chine and a golf course a billiard
table, then we might have a fairly
interesting mathematical prob
lem,” said a well known golfer re«
cently, “but the human equation-+
the element of uncertainty—is al
ways present in the good old game
of golf.”
There's an old proverb that says
“practice makes a master,” and it
is surely true of golf. Control
“You agreed to referee ten rounds
of fighting for SSO, didn’t you?”
asked the promoter of Smith. ;
“Certainly.”
“Well, you refereed less than one
round. You get one-tenth of the
sum agreed upon for a ten-round
aftair. Here is your $5.”
After strenunous argument, Smith
got his SSO, but the most that
Brown got was SBOO. And he never
fought on a guarantee in Terre =
Haute again. ;
A LEWIS STORY, 1
Nate Lewis, who has been man
aging some of the best warriors
that pugilism has known in the
last eight or ten years, is a treas
ure source for humorous stories.
This is/ one of Lewis’ stories:
“Some years ago, whan I was
managing Johnny Gorman, a ban
tamweight, he fought a youngster
as one of the clubs in Chicago
About 30 seconds before the beir
was due to ring for the end of the
first round Gorman's rival popped
him on the jaw. Gorman weni
down and the referee started to
count over him, I could see that
Gorman was dead to the world—
that he never would get up un
aided.
“He happened to fall in his own
corner. There was a bucket of
jce water right at the edge. [
kicked the bucket and gave Gor
man an ice water shower. The =
shock of the cold water aroused
Gorman and he jumped to his feet
fighting mad. He saw the other
kid in front of him and let fly a
swinging right hander. :I‘he blow
clipped the other kid on the chin
and down he went. He stayed
there a..d was counted out. %
“Immediately afterward | went
over to congratulate Gorman and
the kid pushed me aside. =
“‘Say, listen, they told me that
you was a decent sort of a guy,
but whoever told me that was a
lar. %
“‘What's the idea? Why do you
say that? 1 asked. -
“‘Any feller who will throw ice °
water on his fighter that is in bad
shape and down on the floor is the
kind of a feller that I wouldn’t
have for a manager. I'm through
with you. See?’ Tl

sTiger followers are expecting him
lto live up to his already envigble
reputation as one of the best bnclm%
in the South. He has a good h i
carries the ball well and swiftly d e
is a sure tacklér. He has mé
twice captain of the Purple. :
COUNCIL GOOD. 2
Another wsurprise that has been
sprung on the side line warmers is
the ability of Harold Council, who
hails from Mississippi, which is al‘&§
Wortha}'s State, to go through the
line from" the fullback position. Coun
cil is very light, weighing not over
130 to 140, but he bores into tha}
line in true big league form and ap
pears to have much pushing ability
in his short legs. While he will not
displace Burton at the fullback mhgz
tion, ‘he will be a, valuable man to
put in if it becomes necessary. &
is gritty and plays all the time and
seems able to take punishment with
the best of them. Conway, who re
cently arrived on the Mountain, is
showing up well at end, and fi%
possible that when the final roll is
called he will be found occupying one
of the flank positions. £y %
TIGERS NOT AT BEST.
Howard’s showing against Aumfi
hag given Coach Abell much conecern.
Howard always seems to have a good
team, and no one who saw the game
at Sewanee two;years ago, Wh ~
Howard tied Sewanee 6 to 6, and
practically outplayed the Purple
eleven, is willing to wager that the
Tigers' will come off victorious in
Saturday’s fray. The Tigers are far
from being in shape and injuries to
some of the men will weaken to a
considerable extent the stiff opposi
tion the line wds expected to -
nish. A
The coach has really been working
with the game against the Univer
city of Georgia on October lll‘:é
view. This contest will be played in
Athens, and will be the first trip for
the Purple this season. Little ufi
known éhere of the Georgia team, but
it is safe to say that the game wfiéi
be a hummer. %
ST T T e e e S
must come from intelligent prac
tice; it means hard work and years
of experience. No man can jump
into championship rank in ooe-’fil’n,;;
two years, or even three, and it is
at least six or seven years bofm“‘z
he can hope to win a big event. |
Tournament experience also counts,
but not so much as practice.
EXAMPLES OF CONTROL.
At the present day there are
some brilliant examples of control,
and its progrese is written on the
pages of practice, No golfer has
ever lived who thinks he has
played a round in which he had
control of all his clubs, but there is
Travis with his putter, Travels =
with his run-up iron Ouimet with
his midiron, and others who have
acquired big reputations because
they tfeally are able to controk
some particular club. At the *;
cal moment, nine times out of ten,
they can send their thought from
the club to-ball and land the Jit
tle rubber core in the spot selected;
but each and all of theém M“
reached this degree of skill by .
hard practice
