NEWS OF SPORT DOINGS 1 TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, FRIDAY OCTOBER,. 5, 190G. ATLANTA AND ELSEWHERE ] GEORGIA MEN PLAYTENNIS WILL HOLD TOURNAMENT 600N AT ATHEN8 FOR COLLEGE CHAMPIONSHIP. 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 to weigh In at 123 pounds ringside. Both are In active training for the mill, and each has incited $100 for weight and ap pearance. The referee Is yet to be so- 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. DETAILS ARRANGED FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES VANDERBILT CUP RACE DECIDED SATURDAY Facta About Vanderbilt Cup Race.

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. “Doc” ItohlDHou. the Denver feather- weight, nuil Kbl Texas, of Pueblo, have been matched to meet for twenty rouuds nt J’ueblo October 16.

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. “Daddy” Creaf. “Big” 81m. * 81ms and Creel are two of the best players on the North Georgia Agricultural college 'team nnd some brilliant playing may be exuected of them in the game Saturday against Tech.
