£ Coach of Tech
- Clemson {s said to have about the’
heaviest football team the South Car
olinans have ever put out. Further
more, they are :

ets at Grant Field this afternoon.
Captain Banks, at quarterback, is
one of the fleetest and niftiest men
“with the, pigskin under his arm that
‘fhe South can boast of today. Against
"Mech rlast 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
sttength 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
game by these two splendid backs.
" 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
sback. 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 than the latter by thirty
pounds, you. can depend upon it that
you will see a battle that twill last
the full distance, for Lebey i§ one
of the gamest men that ever sct 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 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 Clemson will
try many forward passes, as they are
good ‘at open field work. They have
some good ones and they may gain
lots of ground with them. And then
again they may have a number of
their skyrockets intercepted and—
BLAM! You never can tell 4 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
beésides palgs well. They buck with
exceptional excellence and their end
running i 8 very, very good, indeed.
Furthermore, they have the condition
and stamina. So, altogether, Tech is
in for as fine a tuning up game as
they could have selected at this time
.of the vear, 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
weil impressed with the strength of

the Clemsonians and are going to do|
their best to get going right—and thati
from the first kick off.
CAPTAIN PHILLIPSsAT 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 dag
of the season. On either end will be
found Fincher and Staton, both 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 fackle
Lyman. The former is a veteran, thel
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
encugh, knows a lot more of football
than he did a year ago, and is anxious
to get in. He'll do, I feel pretty sare,
If not, then Doyal will get a crack
at it, and Doyal has played enough
footbhall to prove a holy terror to any
upposition if we can but get his
“Dutch” up. Nesbitt is another guard
whose defense I will risk with that
lot any man on the Tech squad at
the guard’s position.
| The backfield is still an uncertain
i 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. Howeves, in McDon
ough we have a boy who won hig
spure 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. 4
. _The halves look like Flowers and
Barron. Nothing much seems the
,matter #ith either one of them at
this writing, and I believe they will
l have the best day they have had this
year. What we may hope for against
| the Commodores 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. . l
| And fullback? Well, Harlan is the|
gclection if he's sound, and if he ilßn’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 ang
finish the game between them. Pos-=
sibly Giavir will play a bit at quar
ter. i
| Our first reserve in the backfield is
I Frank Ferst, who knows quarter, half
land full and plays a good game at
| either one of the three positions.
Frank has been hothered and handi
(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. oY)
| Little Searborough is another back
who hasn’t been feeling as well this
fall as he should, and this {liness has
held’ him back. There is no more
conscientious player on the entire
squad and no man ever tried harder
to help his tsam and his coach than
does this boy. He'll get in some
where,
There is a question just now about
Amis’ eligibility in 8. I. 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 playved the position entire
ly acceptably in a number of varslty‘
games last fall. Besides, if it came
to a showdown we could put Lebey|
at snapper, and he’s a goods one.
Granger is another satizfactory snap
per, so we're not worrying any in that
department. t
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, Oet. 11.—B8oldier Bart
field may be a rough, tough bird in
the ring, but he is a good calculator
and careful analyst when he i 8 out- l
glde 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
Colling’ arena in Minneapolis ana
had that: battle ffgured out to a
“T" when I talked to him on his |
, way to the scene.
Likewise he had a few other
things flgured out. He bhoxed Ben
ny Leonard in Philadelphia abourt
three weeks back and put up a
surprisingly good battle with the
lightweight champion. It proved to
be quite a betting affalr, 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 hls manager or
anybody closely connected with his
camp to do any betting,” opined the
swarthy battler, “There's a very
simple reéason for this, and here it
is. It ruins a fighter's ring work.
Take the Leonard fight, for in
gtance. I het close to $2,500 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
;‘qrz to bét a lot more, but I stopped ‘
im.
“Now, if we hadn’t gone so strong
T would have dorie a lot better in
the fight itself. You see, after 1
got started I wasn’'t willing to %ive
him a chance te crack me on the
chin. Neither was Dan when he re
alized how deep we were In _The
result wag 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 & chance of get
ting your head knocked off,
“Later 1 boxed another cham
pion and gnt a draw with him after
what they told me was a great
fight—Mike O'Dowd, middleweight
champion, 1 gave him fifteen
pounds at that.” 5

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 theip share stopped
after the 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 tne
first grievance they had against
the club owners? The direct result
of this series was caused by the
Cincinnat! 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 bheen looked upon
with a great deal of consideration.
Last spring 1 picked the Cubs to

e SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919.
By CHARLES SHONESY.
A new angle has been discoveged in
regard to the Tech }ligh-Dahe.Qega
football game Saturday morning at
Grant Field. The visitors are ex
pecting to win by at least three touch
’duwns, and unless they accomplish
this the team and school will be
dreadfully disappointed. . That is a
fact.
l Captain Jordan of Tech High was
highly amused when this news was
lhrought to him. His only reply was,
‘as usual, “We shall see.” The teams
will stack up about even. Both have
heavy lines, and only medioere back®
fields, 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, centgr, 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, Horkmn and Blanton,
are both heavy players, who charge
low anrd 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 fOOd runnlns‘
mate for the popular Atlanta boy.
Pech High has no set-up in this
game. Their mettle will be tried.
Every play of the wisitors 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
dfiring 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 lickedfby three touch
downs, is hard to graap.
Every day since the McCallie game,
the Smithies have sprinted around the
track at Poncey at least six times.
Also, they have heen scrimmaging
every day. Tech High will be in
ghape for the game.

this year ig an uncertainty, but in the
past they hmve always ' had good
teams, and ones that were able to
hold their own. .
Coach Tolbert has drilled his men
hard for this game every day. The
entipe squad is in perfect condition
and ready to launch its drive rur'
higher honors than have ever floated |
from the College Park school. The
cadets will probably start in the fol
lowing order: Ferguson, R, E.; Ross, |
R. T.; Meisch, R. Q.; Conway, C.;
Anthony, L. G,; Prevatt, captain Andl
L. T.; Murray, L. E.; Mlers, Q.; Sim
owitz, R. H. B.; Boswell, L. H. B.;
Varnadoe, F,
The backfield is the strongest por
tion of the cadet team. Simowitz, at
halfback was a star performer with
(3. M. C, last year, while Miers starred
with fthe eadets. Varnadoe was Also
with the cadets last year., The line
is composed of ahout six veterans,

Brown SBOO for ’;’i, o

80 per cent of j# R
the gate. A sum AP .%

was also agreed M L

Smith, the referee.
Brown started off in the first
round by dropping a few fabs upon
Skelly's faoe, and thern, 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 oné hundred dol
lars,” was the reps.
“Well, that makes our share
$1,210,” sald Brown.
“It means nothing of the sort”
reesponded the promoter. “You
agreed to fight ten rounds, didn't
you?” .
“YEB.“ * ¥ :
“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 gseconds. Here’'s your
ghare.”
“And the promoter handed
Brown §l2l.
“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 fightingi
ten rounds. But you only fought
one round. So all you get 1s one
tenth of that, which is §l2l. Take
it or leave it.”
At this momen, EAd Smith, the
referee, hove into view and made
the request for his SSO.
SEWANEE STARS OUT OF
CONTEST WITH HOWARD
'
f SEWANEE, Tenr., Oct. 11.—The:
"flut real football weather reached
‘the Mountain yesterday, and it was
very welcome to the Tiger football
ors: for Coach Abell has had them
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 resuit 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
therp 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‘
{ay 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 SBewanee Mili
tary Academy team last year, is out
guard. No other likely looking cen- |
ter {s 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 losg 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 i& nothing other than the fact
that Eben Wortham, the great lit
tle "all-Bouthern half of two years
ago, has returned to the Meuntain
and donned the purple. Wortham
has taken on some weight during
hig sojourn in the army, but is fast
rounding into shape; and with his
gpeed and dodging ability ought to
be a 4 hard man to stop. This is his
lagt year in college football, and the
LGOI LUNIKSA
Taking into consideration the
many ciubs for different uses and
the size of the golf ball used, it
s a marvel that the degres 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 awverage of
achlevement; 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 billlard
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.''e ¢
There's an old proverb that says
“practice makes a master,” and it
i surely true of golf. Control
“You agreed to referee ten rounds
of fighting for SSO, didn’t you?”
asked the promoter of Smith.
“Certainly.” 4
“Well, you refereed less than ons
round. You get one-tenth of the
sum agreed upon for a ten-round
affair. Herée is your $5.” '
Aftef strenuous 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 vears, is a treas
ure source for humorous stories.
This.is oneé 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 Chicage.
About 30 seconds before the beli
was due to ring for the end of the
tirst round Gorman’s rival popped
him on the jaw. Gorman went
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. I
kigkel the bucket and gave. Gor
man an lce water snower. The
shock of the cold water aroused
Gorman and he jumped to his feet
tighting mad. He saw the other
kid in front 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 cbunted out. ;
“Immediately afterward I 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
liar.
““What's the idea? Why do you
say that? I asked. 3
“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?"
(Copyright, 1919, by King Features
Syndicate, Ine.)
b Tiger followers are expecting him
to live up to his already enviable
reputation as one of the best backs
in the South. He has a go% head,
carries the ball well and swiftly and
is a sure tackler. He has been
twice captain of the Purple. i
" COUNCIL GOOD. 3
Another surprise that has been
sprung on the sidé line warmers is
the ability of Harold Council, who
hails from Mississippi, which is also
Wortham's State, to go through m;
line from the fullback position. Coun
cil is very light, weighing no:?va-fig
130 to 140, but he bores intd" the
line in true big league form and ap
pears to have much pushing ability
in .his ghort legs. While he will not
displace ,Burten 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. o
TIGERS NOT AT BEST.
Howard's showing against Auburn
has given Coach Abell much concern.
Howard always seems to have a good
team, and no one who saw the game
at Sewanee two years ago, when
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 was expected to furs
nish. g
The coach has really been working .
with the game against the Univer
city of Georgia on October 18 imn
view. This contest will be played ‘zf
Athens, and will be the first trip for
the Purple this season. Little 18
known here of the Georgia team, but
it is safe to say that the game will
be a hummer, ; }
must come from intelligent prac
tice; it means hard work and yuq‘f
of experience. NoO man can jufi"i;
into championship rank in one or:
two years, or even three, and it 18
‘at least six or seven years before
he ean hope to win a big event.
Tournament experience also counts,
but not so much as practice. T
EXAMPLES OF CONTROL.
At the present day there are
some brilliant examples: of control,
and its progress is written on the
pages of practice. No golfer has |
ever lived who thinks he ks
played a round in which he had
control of all his clubs, but there is
Travis with his putter, Travers
with his run-up iron Ouilmet with
his midiron, and others who have
acquired big reputations becau ¥
they really are ‘able to control
some particular club. At the eriti
cal moment, nine times out of tem,
they can send theims thought from
the club to ball and land the Mt
tle rubber core in the spot se qr:
but each and all of them have
reached this degree of skill by
hard practice. Y r:r:
