Clemson 48 said to have about the
heaviest football team the South Car
olinans have ever put out. Further-l

men of athletic
moid, well built SSO
chaps who . com-pf . T

campaign. This is S e
the team that will et

ets at Grant Field this afternoon. 1
* Captain Banks, at quarterback, is
one of the fleetest and niftiest men
‘Wwith the pigskin under his arm that
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 redoubtable henchman, 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 be
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 uttermost in today’s
igame by these two splendid backs.
LIGHTSEY CRACK LINEMAN.
The best lineman on the Clemson
outfit is, probably, Lightsey, who an
swers the roll cali 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 for
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 thah the latter by thirty
pounds, you can depend’ upon it that
vou 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 in the way of hola
ing nis 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 Ciemson will
try many forward passaes, as they are
good at open field work. They have
some good ones and they may gain
tots 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 husiness,
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 grotind, when other methods ap
pear so hard and gruslling. |
But thg Tigers do something else’
besides pass well. They buck with
exceptional excellence and their endi
running is very, very good, lndeed.:
Furthermore, they have the condition
and stamina. So, altogether, Tech is‘
in for as fine a tuning up game as
they could hava selected at this time)
of the year, and it may well be Ihat“
most of the tunes will be played hy
the visitors. But we're on our ;;uard;‘
Tt’s not a case of ‘despising the en—l
“emyv, with the Jackets; they are very
well impressed with the strength of

By J. W. HEISMAN.
Football Team. 1
Fthe Clemsonians and are going to do
their best to get going right—and that!
’l’rom the first kick off.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS AT CENTER,
| For Tech, we shall probably see
C'aptain Phillips at center. Thus far
he has had no recurrence of his ins
jury in this week’s practise and is in
better shape than any preceding day
of the season. On either end will be
found Fincheér and Staton, hoth of
whom are in good shape and may 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
positfon 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 feel pretty sure.
if' not, then Doyal will get a crack
at it, and Doyal has played enough
football to prove a hdly terror to any
opposition if we can but get his
“Dutch” up. Nesbitt is another guard
whose defense I will risk with shat
of any man on the Tech squad at
| the guard’s position, i
! The backfield is still an uncertain
| ty. Probably Guill will be able to
‘ start at quarter, hut I doubt if it will
he advisable to keep him there the
lwhol,e game. However, in McDon
| ough we have 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
lmatter with either one of them at
{ this writing, and I believe they will
I have the best day they have had this
vear. What we may hope for against
| the Commodoares a week hence will
depend a whole lot on how these two
lads perform this afterncon. I be
lieve I can count on them,
{ HARLAN AT FULL, ]
| And fullback? Well, Harlan is the!
sclection if he's sound, and if he ilsn't,
why, then, it will be GiAvir, Neither
of them is in tip-top sha{pe, but the
two of them may be able {o start and'
finish the game between them, Igos
|-sibly Giavir will play a bit at quar
ter.
I 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 positions.
Frank has been bothered and handi
’ capped the whole season by first one
joint sprain and then_another; but,
now he seems to be solind and whole
again, so we may hope to see him
swinging back into his old time form
in a hurry. .
| Little Scatborough is another back
| who hasn’t been feeling as well this
fall as he should, antd this illness has
held him back. THhere is no more
conscientious -player on the entire
squad and no man ever tried harder
to help his team and his coach than|
does this boy.+ He'll get in some
where,
There is a question just now about
Amis’ eligibility in 8. 1. A, A, games
| and until that is straightened out, of
course, we can not use him. But wei
still have Davis a4s reserve snapper,|
and Davis played tbe position entire- ]
ly acceptably in a number of varslt};l
games last fall. Besides, if it cam
to a showdown we could put Lebey|
at snapper, and he's a good one
Granfger is another satizfactory snap
per, so we’re not worrying any in that
I department.
It’s going to be a rip-snorter of a
game—take my word for it.

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 {s 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
follins’ arena in Minneapolis ana
had t}gzt battle figured out to a
“1" when I talked to him on his
way to the scene,
Likewise he had a few other
things figuréd out, He boxed Ben
ny Leonard in Philadelphia abourt
three weeks back and put up a
surprisingly good battle with the
lightweigiat champion. It proved to
be quite a betting affair, 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
- of the soldier,
SHOULD DODGE BETTING.
“No fighter should ever bet on
himself, and at the same time
shouldn’t permit his muanager or
anybody closely connected with his
camp to do any betting,” opinéd the
swarthy battler, “There's a very
simple reason for this, and here it
{s. It ruins a fighter's ring work.
Take the Leonard fight, for in
stance. I het close to $2,5600 on my
self 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
;lmz to bet a lot more, but I stopped
im.
“Now, if we hadn’t gone so strong
1 would have done a lot better in
the fight itself: You see, after I
got started 1 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 you take a chance of get- |
ting your head knocked off, ‘
“Later 1 boxed another cham
pion and got a draw with him after
what they told me. was a great
fight-——Mike O'Dowd; middleweight
champion, I gave him fifteen
pounds at that.” l

PULL OLD STUFF,
A few of the ufiwise sald 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 the fifth game, why should
they prolong the agony? And as
you know, ball playérs are most
temperamental. What ‘would stop
them from flying into print at the
first grievapce 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 lpoked upon
with a great deal of consideration,

R, B SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919.
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 and school will be
wairvudful)y disappointed. That is a
fact,
Captain .Jordan of Tech High was
- highly amused when this news was
L brought to him. His only reply was,
'as usual, “We shall see.” , The teams
will stack up about even, Both have
heavy lfnes, and only mediocre back
fielde, with the shade probably in
Dahlonega's favor,
That Dahlonega, backfield com
posed of Lunsford and Gaston half
backs, Way quarterback and Divver
fullback, is about as good as the
school 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, tackles:
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 runnlngi
mate for the popular Atlanta boy.
Tech High has no set-up in this
game. Their mettle will be tried.
Every play of the visitors works off
the famous Tech shift, If the forma
tion runs smoothly, ‘i"eeh 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 BSmithies have sprinted around the
track at Poncey™at least six times.
Algo, they have been scrimmaging
every day. Tech High will be in
shape for the game.
The probable line-ups:

“What was the gate?” they asked.
“Four thousand one hundred dol

“Well, that makes our share
$1,210,” said Brown.
“It means nothing of the sort”
responded the promoter, “You
agreed to fight ten rounds, didn’t
YO“?"
“Yes.”
“Well, you didn’t fight even one.
But I'll allow you for wo?king a
full round even if you did work
only for 30 geconds. Here's your

demanded Brown,

That was to be yours for fighting

SEWANEE STARS OUT OF
CONTEST WITH HOWARD
'
’ SEWANEE, Tenp., Oct. 11.—The
,tirat real football weather reached
‘the Mountain vesterday, and it was
very welcome to the Tiger football
ers; for Coach Abell has had thgm
on the move every instant since the
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
Clark 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,
while Bettle and Clark have split
muscles, Scott dislocated his shoul
der 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
_nat position for the Bewanee 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
all Sewanee supporters that the
backfield has been - materially
strengthened. The cause of all this
joy is nothing other than the fact
that Bben 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 inte 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
Taking into consideration the
many clubs for different uses and
the size of the golf ball used, it
{s o marvel that the degree of con
tro) exercised by the links de
votees is 80 great.
A man's skill is estimated largely
by the control he exercises over the
implements of the game, and it is
ah.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,
“1f 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 gei one-tenth of the
sum agreed upon for a tem-round
affair. Here is your $5.”
After strenuous argument, Smith
got his SSO, but the most that
Brown got was S3OO. And he never
fought on a guarantee in Terre
Haute -again.
' A LEWIS STORY,
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, when I was
managing Johnny Gorman, a ban
tamweight, he fought a youngster
at one of the clubs in Chicago.
About 30 seconds before the beli
was due to ring for the end of the
first round Gorman's rival popped
him' on the jaw. Gorman went
down and the referee started to
count over him. I could se% that
Gorman was dead to the world—
that he never would get up un
alded. .
“He happened to fall in his own
corner. There was a bucket of
jce water right at the edge. I
kicked the bucket and gave Gor
man an ice water shower. The
ghock of the cold water aroused
Gorman and he jumped to his feet
fighting mad. He saw the other
kid in froni of him and let fly a
swinging right hander., The blow
clipped the other kid on the chin
and down he went. He stayed
there a.d was counted out. 5
“Immediately afterward I went
over to congratulate Gorman and
the kid pushed me aside. .
“‘Qay, listen, they told me that
you was a decent sort of a guy,
but whoever told me that was a
liar. o
“ “What's the idea? Why do you
gay that? I asked. s
“iAany 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?” 5

Syndicate, Inc.)
pTiger followers are expecting him
to live up to his already enviable
‘reputation as one of the best backs
in the South. He has a good head,
carries thg ball well and swiftly and
is a sure tackler. He has been
twice captain of the Purple. &
COUNCIL GOOD. 5
Another surprise that has been
sprung on the side line warmers is/
the ability of Harold Couneil, who
hails from Mississippi, which is also
Wortham'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 the
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 posi
tion, he will be a valuable man to
put in if it becomes necessary. He
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 it is
possible that when the final roll is
called he will be found occupying one
of the flank positions. e
TIGERS NOT AT BEST,
Howard’'s showing against Auburn
has given Coach Abell much concern.
Howard always seems to have a m
team, and no one who saw the game
at Sewanee two years ago, Whfi”
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
consierable extent the stiff opposi
tion the line was expected to fur~
nish. g
The coach has really been working
with the game against the Univer
city of Georgia on October 18 W
view. This contest will be played in
Athens, and will be the first trip for
the Purple this season, Little is
known here of the Georgia team, but
it is safe to say that the game will
be a hummer,
must come from intelligent prflemgs
tice; it means hard work and years
of experience. No man can jump
into championship rank in one or
two years, or even three, and it is
at least six or seven years before
he can hope to win a big event.
Tournament experience also counts,
but neot so much as practice.
EXAMPLES OF CONTROL.
At the present day there are
some brilliant examples of contrel,
and its progress is written on the
pages of practice, No golfer has
ever lived who thinks he has
played a round in which he hlfi,?{f:{gfi
control of all his clubs, but there is
Travis with his putter, Trtmfi
with his run-up iron Oumuwm%{
his midiron, and others who have
acquired hig reputations because
they really are able to control
some particular club. At the «iflwv%
cal moment, nine times out of ten,
they can send thair thought from Jg*
the club to ball and land the lit-.
tle rubber core in the spot selected;
but each and all of then have
reached this degree of skill by
hard pgactice, e e mg‘
