WILL HOLD TOURNAMENT 600N
AT ATHEN8 FOR COLLEGE

Special to The Georgian.
Athens, Ga., Oct. 5.—Tennis Mana.
ger Mlddlebrooks, o( the University,
states that the tournament to deter
mine the college championship In both
singles and doubles will bo held at an
early day. He will try to secure
matches with Emory, Mercer and Tech,
and says that the chances for success
are good.
Four courts are available for prac
tice and the tennis players are putting
In lots of practice.
Heywood Dean, who was champion
for the singles last year, will defend
his title against all comers, but as yet
has not selected a partner for the
doubles.
Mlddlebrooks and Carter, who last
year reached {he finals and lost to Lee
and Deane, will again try for the dou
bles.
There are a number of good players
among the new men and things In the
tennis line will be Interesting.
Frankie Taul. of this city, and "Emer
gency*' Kelly, of Boston, hare been snitch
ed to fight in private nest week. The
boys are to go twenty rounds, and are

DOUGLAS OUT
WITHBAD LEG
FORMER UNIVERSITY OF TEN.
NESSEE PLAYER NEVER RE.
COVERED FROM ACCIDENT. I
Annapolis, Sid., Oct. 6.—It Is likely
that Douglas, the star half back of tho
navy eleven who figured conspicuously
In the Sllddles' victory over the Prince,
ton team last year, may not be able to
play at all this season. Douglas broke
a leg in the. game with the Tigers and
Is suffering yet from the effects of tho
Injury, having to use crutches part of
the time.
Douglas Is a Knoxville man and was
a star half back on the University of
Tennessee team, back in th® days of
Crawford, Buckingham and that bunch
of* stars.
TAD'S IMPRE88ION OF THE NATIONALAL PA8TIME, "SCOUT THE UMPIRE.”
Rules School For Officials
Planned by Coach Heisman
The problem of securing competent
conches for football jjnmc* plnyeil.under the
new rales may be solved In Atlanta In n
new way. Coach Uelsman of the Tech team
ban volunteered to meet with any men In
tereated and go over with them the new
rules, shedding on them the llRht of Ida
Ions football experience, and also some ,ln
formation which lie has secured from cor
respondence with tho makers of the rules.
This scheme woujd be n uovel one nnd
ought to take well, There are anywhere
from n score to fifty men In the city who
are sufficiently Interested In football and
sufficiently desirous of familiarising them
selves with the now rules so that they
would gladly nvnll themselvea of auch n
chance to get straight on the many vexa
tious questions.
It la probable that the rooms of the At
lanta Athletic Club or soino other suitable
place could 1m? secured for these meetings.
If all who are Interested • wlU communicate
with the sporting editor of The Georgian
he will make arrangements for n session
of the “rules school.”
[ Coach Helsmnu la of the opinion that be
fore It will lw> possible to play football,
without squabbles over rules, It will bo
neceaaary for the coaches to got together
and agree on on Interpretation of the rules
which were left vague by the committee
which made them.
One rule, for example, which will re
quire a deni of interpretation, nnd perhaps
modification. Is the “fair catch” rule. As
It at present stands It Is made quite clear
how n fair catch Is to be Indicated. Thu
Interesting point, however, Is "whftt Is to
prevent a man who has no chance on earth
of getting the ball from signaling fur u
fair catch nnd taking advantage of thd
provisions of the rule, even though he
not hope to get the ball until after It has
(rounded a few times*/”
And there are fifty points of Just this
character which need explaining.
It Is not ltti|M)sslble that such a meeting
of the coaches may 1m* held In the near
future, nnd If It Is .Conch llclsmnn will be
there to see what Is done.
Another move III the direction of uniform
rulings nnd competent officials, which the
Tech hns been advocating for a long time
nnd which move has been made In the
Hast nnd must coine In the Houth, Is tlint
of having a committee pass on the candi
dates for positions ns officials nnd to qual
ify certain men through the South for the
Job. Conch Itelsmnn hns ndvocated that
this be done nt meetings of the 8. I. A. A.,
but It has been declared lifiprnctlcnble. Hut
they have hnd to come to It In the East,
and they will bnve to do It In the South.
If such a move were tnrtde the question
of getting competent officials would be
easily answered. And without competent
officials first-class football Is not possible.

The Calling of J.' O’Brien
and How Jeffries Did It
Dy TAD.
New York, Oct. 5.—Do you .remem
ber that little story of the man In tho
railroad train and the baggage mas
ter?
Anyway, tho baggage master was
slamming hls trunks all over the plat
form and the plug In the train did not
say a word until Just as the train start
ed to pull out. He leaned out of the
window, and, shaking hls hand nt the
baggage smasher, yelled:
"You big stiff, If this train was not
pulling out. I'd get over there and
knock your front piece In. It's a good
thing for you that I can't wait for the
next train. You're n lucky kid; now
paste that In your hat. Oh, If I could
only get off and swing a few over to
you!"
The baggage smasher opened hls
mouth, watched the train pull up to
the water tank and then slowly backed
Into the station again. As It did he
climbed aboard the train nnd grabbed
the windy plug by the neck.
“Here I nm. Now what do you want?
What were you going to do to me?”
“Aw, can't you take a Josh?” piped
tho noisy gent. *'I was only kidding
you."
Well, have you got that down? Have
you ever seen the newspapers' Inter
views with Jack O'Brien, of Philadel
phia. In which he states he would knock
Jeff's head off If he ever got him In a
ring? Have you seen stories signed
by Jack offering to meet the big fel
low In any sort of a go from six to
twenty rounds? Have you rend where
Jack accepted ofTers to mingle with
the boiler-mnker and where he said he
was tickled to death? «
Jack was tn the ring at Los Angeles
the other night tearing off nn elegant
line of larry and was Just about to tell
why he was champion of the world.
when Jeffries climbed through the
ropes In answer to the cheers of the
crowd. Jeff clambered over to Jack,
shook hls hand and when the cheering
stopped, O’Brien said:
“The newspapers have been printing
stories lately saying that I want to
fight Mr. Jeffries. Nothing has cut me
so as those stories. Jim and 1 are the
best of pals. The only way I want to
meet him Is ns we are."
Say, wouldn’t that crimp you?
I guess If Jeff ever sees Berger the
latter will Jump the town.
These big guys had better be sure
that Jeff Is planted on that farm for
good before they start springing these
things.

weight, nuil Kbl Texas, of Pueblo, have

HERE'S THE REAL DOPE ON '
THAT FORWARD PASS RULE
One of the moat vexatious questions which has arisen In connection
with the new rule governing the forward pass was the exception which
"A forward pass over the line of scrimmage within a space of five
yards on each side of the center shall be unlawful.”
Just what was meant by this rule was doubtful, nnd Coach Heisman
wrote to Bill Held, of Harvnrd, and Paul Dashlel, both members of the
rules committee, nnd asked them for an explanation.
According to these two distinguished authorities this rule was In
tended to prevent lobbing over the center of the line, and provided
that the ball could not be lobbed over the line within five yards of where
the centers were when the play started.
That this rule will be’a hard one to enforA? Is obvious to those who
saw the long forward pass worked at Tech in Saturday’s game. The ball
was passed nnd the man who got It ran a good distance before he passed
It. In the meantime the line haiTdlsIntegrated and the tnsk of locating
the positions where the centers had stood, and more particularly to lo
cate a point five yards on one side of that position, was a matter of rough
and tumble guess work.

of them in the game Saturday against Tech.
