The Tech team la ready to the minute. Dan McOugln, of Vanderbilt, Is here to see the fun. The officials are chosen, the field Is ready, and At 3 o'clock Sewanee and Tech will llne-tlp In the first big championship game of the Southern season. : What will happen after that Is for football history to record. Prom early morning Indications, the weather Is to be pleasant, though a little warm for fast football. , With good weather the crowd which goes out to the field will be the largest lot the year—larger, probably, than all it he others put together, and perhapa the largest early-season crowd that Tech Hold has ever known. : The Sewanee team Is In first class condition, the men arc trained down fust to the right fineness, and both Coach Quill and Captain Watkins be lieve that the Sewnnee Tigers have rather the better chance for success. "The team Is In good condition nnd we hope to make a good showing,” said Coach Quill. "I am not making any predictions but we shall do our best," said Captain George Watkins. "I wish to correct one misapprehen sion." said Mr. Quill, “and that Is Ilia" Sewanee has a heavy team. Our aver age Is 1(0 10-11." Means is Ineligible. Out at Tech there Is sorrow over one fact, Means has been declared Ineligible by the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. It Is claimed that he did not put In a full year last year, and that, therefore, he Is debnrred under the one-yenr rule. Coach Helsmnn says that Means was out of school last vear but thnt he left because of se rious 111 .health, that he can show n doctor's certificate to that effect, and that Menns was operated on after ho left Tech, and was In serious condi tion. lie does net consider that, under the circumstances, Means ought to ba debarred, but he feels that If the mat' ter comes up before the association, Tech's case will be thrown out. In consequence of the Ineligibility of Means, Sweet has been sent to full back. This puts a substitute In th* line and hurts Tech's chances. Except for the loss of Means, the Tech team Is In fair condition. Luck still has a bum leg. and Sweet has a htlff knee, hut otherwise the men are In fair condition. The betting 1s 5 to 4, with Sewanee at the long end. Tutwllor, a University of Virginia man, will be the referee and Sibley, of Vanderbilt, the umpire. Dan McQugan Talks. Dan McGugan, who la In town for the game, seems fairly well pleased with Vanderbilt's prospects for the year. "Wo will have a fair team, I think,” he said. "We loet six men, and, of course, that crippled us—especially as we lost both center and quarter. But we are doing fairly well. We had to mako up our-team out of substitutes and scrub material, but It Is all show ing up well." Mr. McGugan Is here for the game and goes hack to Nashville tonight. Distinguished Visitors. Coach HuIIihen, of the Grant Uni veralty. Is here also to see Sewanee play. Ills team tackles Sewanee. and ho wants to get a line on the Tigers' game. Another distinguished visitor Is W. D. Mooney, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., whose fnotball team Is annually the best In Tcnnessefc, and who Is one of the best versed men In the South In football loro nnd tho theory and prac tice of the game. “We hope to have a championship team at our school this year," he said, "and to get another trial with the Gor don boys. Our team lyeld Sewanee to four touchdowns and Is doing very well." Georgia Tennis Matches Furnishing Good Sport Unlveralty of Georgia.

Missouri Expert Favors Hitting in the Clinches Owing to the discussion between two local fighters as to whether or not to allow butting In the clinches In their coming bout, the following from the pen of M. J. Burke, which appeared In The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1s of interest: \ “Our old friend, Mae Doyle, telegraph operator, boxing and wrestling promoter, former manager of fighters, wrestlers, dogs and numerous other things, calls attention to the fact that was brought out once before, name ly, that If the referees of boxing matches would Interpret the rules proper ly that they would save themselves much work. "At present the Western A. A. U. is considering asking the national body to frame up a new set of boxing rules, or to especially define If men can hit In the clinches. Sam Berger and Jack O'Brien could not agree on their match because Berger wanted to hit In the clinches nnd O'Brien said no. "Wnat is a clinch? If the men wrap their arms about each other It Is a clinch. In other words, a fond embrace Is a clinch. Now, If the men have their arms in use holding each other, how can they hit? The rules of box ing state that all contests are to be fair, stand up matches. That, of course, makes It Impossible for a man to hold on with one hand and belt away with the other. ‘The rules, however, do not mean that because a man weakens nnd clings to his opponent to delay the game so as to regain his strength nnd wind that his opponent, as long as his hands are free, can not smash away. Many referees rule otherwise. Harry Hhurpe, who will handle the amateur boxing bouts at the M. A. C. next Saturday night. Is one of the men who ( believes that as soon as one man grabs his opponent that It Is a clinch nnd ’ that both men must stop fighting and step buck at his, Sharpe's, com mand. "It certainly do^s not seem fair. It also spoils good bouts. The man who is the stronger And better fighter should not be forced to stop fighting every time his opponent throws his arms about him to save himself from punishment. The point came up last winter. The West End Club was bringing off amateur boxing bouts at the time. Unless both of the men were holding, Doyle would not Interfere. There were some rapid bouts and many knockouts. The man that held on found no respite, as his opponent continued to hammer away at him. It made the bouts fast from start to finish. One or two boys tried to hold and hit at the same time. These Doyle disqualified and the rules were strictly adhered to, afterwards. "It would not be n bad Idea to try the plan. In the strict meaning of the term It would lie Impossible for im*n to hit while clinched. There Is nothing In the amateur rules about hitting In the clinches. Such matters are left to the discretion of the referee. As long as the bouts are supposed to be 'fair, stand-up contests,’ t^iere seems no reason for making one man stop boxing as soon as his opponent grabs hold of him, even though the man that does the holding Is supposed to be penalised by the judges of the bout, when they render their decision, which Is very seldom done. As the W. A. A. V. wants new boxing rules, why not give the plan that there U no such thing as bitting in clinches a trial?" SEWANEE TEAM WHICH MEETS TECH TODAY Here Is the fufc squad from which the team was picked which meets*Tech In the first championship battle of the year: Top Row, left to right—Gaines, Grant, Bennett, Lyne, Cox. Knight, Pope, and Coach Quill. Second Row—Atkins, assistant manager; Prentiss, Adler, Markley, Elsele, Barrett, Knight, manager; Shipp. Jones, Ellis, Pastrano. Third Row—Cheape, Lewis, Harris, Claypool, Watkins, captain; Klrby-Smlth, mascot; Evans, Stone, Poynor, Williams. Georgia in Poor Condition for Game Against Clemson Special to The Georgian. University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., Oct, 20.—The Georgia football team left Athens Friday afternoon to tackle the Tigers In their lair at Clemson. Just how the game Is going to come out there Is no saying, but It's apparent to tho student body here that the team Is In rather badly crippled condition. Several of Ihe men are bunged up so they walk with difficulty. Several tnen wore hurt In the Davidson game and others have been Injured during the week's hard practice. • Harold Ketron's ankle Is In a very bad condition. Parental objections to football have played havoc this year with the squad. Several of last year’s veterans have been kept out of the game because their families forbade their playing. George Battey, of Atlanta, who year, Is out of the game for this season. Georgia will put up a game fight against Clemson, but her chances are not as bright as they were a week ago. Assistant Coach Kyle Has Charge of Vanderbilt Today GEORGIA MAN BOOSTS JENNINGS Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20. Sporting Editor of Tho Georgian, City: Dear Sir—You printed In Thursday afternoon's paper an Interesting article on Hughey Jennjngs, In which thnt ones great player-was accorded the praise that all who know him believe n> deserves. Jennings Is well known in Atlanta, having coached tho Uni versity of Georgia hnsebnll tennis back In '85, '96 nnd '97, when Tech was pnylng little attention to athletics nnd the University tennis received unani mous support In this city. In 1886 Jennings put out n team that won the undisputed championship of the South by defeating Vlrglnin and also licked the University of PCnnsyl- vnnln, with "King" Dickson In the box, by the senro of 4 to 0. Among those, ffho played on this team wore Reynolds Tlchenor, Douse Brudwell. Jock McBride, Jim Dougher ty and Fred Price, who wns captain, all of Atlanta: Will,Sanford, of Craw- fordvllle, who was the star pitcher, after Frank Sparks, now one of the premier twlrlers. of the Nntlonnl League, was declared Ineligible: Threat Moore, of Jackson: Hatton- Lovejoy, county school commissioner of Troup, nnd Floyd Foster, now of Athens. And If 1 um not mistaken, Wilson Matthews, who nfunaged the Savannah tenm that this year won the 8. A. L. championship, played third base part of the season, subsequently going to Princeton. Your article speaks of Hanlon's breaking Jennings of iho habit of pull ing away from the plate while batting. Jennings evidently profited well by It, for he broke every Georgia player of the habit by throwing a idle of bats right nt the batter’s box In prnctlcc. The result was thnt he who pulled hnrk stepped Into the bnts nnd tumbled onto Ills head. Six days of this would cure nny player of the habit, nnd so Jennings had a tenm of collegians who would hug the plate, choke the pitcher by forcing him t6 put ’em over nnd sting the ball like professionals. If Billy Smith will try this treatment on Bob Wallace next spring his center field problem will be solved. Although n professional nnd n mem ber. of the muggslest baseball team over got together, those old Orioles, Jennings was ns fine an Irish gentle man ns one ever saw nnd counts his friends In Georgia by the score. U. OF GA. ALUMNUS. Special to The Georgian. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Frank Kyle. Vanderbilt's greatest of all quar terbacks, and probably the greatest tho South has ever seen, has been selected as assistant coach to Dan McOugln and has charge of the eleven today In the game with Alabama on Dudley field. Coach McGugln Is In Atlanta to wit ness the Tech-Sewance game. Kyle Is a close student of the game, has a clear Insight Into tho finer points, is quick to take In a play or to figure' out one and lias the happy faculty of showing others what he knows. Kyle was by fur the most remark able quarterback Vanderbilt or proba bly the South ever saw. Heavy enough for a half back (In which position he was very effective, too), fast enough for an end, n strong tackier, fine at framing a defense and picking the weak spots in nn opposing team, and equnlly as good at directing attacks on the less vulnerable points. He always varied his attacks so as to confuse the opposite team, and it was with Kyle os quarter that Van derbilt " In two yenrs rolled up 824 points against 26 for their opponents. Last year Kyle enjoyed the distinc tion of carrying the ball 766 yards during the eight games, with an aver age of 23 1-2 yards at each attempt. Ills record In distance wns next to that of Craig: his average gain at each trtal exceeded even Craig. The members'of the Vanderbilt team are for the most part former team mates of Kyle, and they respect and obej him implicitly. Every ■ one at Vnnderbllt feels that the university has been fortunate In securing such an as sistant to McGugln and no apprehen sion Is felt In McGugln's leaving the team to Klye today. RELAY RACES RUNJ10NDAY BIG DOINGS IN THE SPORTING LINE AMONG CLA3S TEAMS AT EMORY. NEW YORK RACING SEASON COMES TO CLOSE OCT. 20 By J. 8. A. MACDONALD. New York, Oct. 20.—In a little less than a month from today, or, to be exact, on the eventide of November 16, the curtain will fnll on the flnnl day of 1906 racing for New Yorkers, at Aqueduct. L. I. The very next day tho cavalcade of horses and turf followerH, which annually scurries away to the Southland in the face of the cutting breeze of a coming cruel winter, will move on toward Washington, D. C-, where the game will be taken up again on Friday, November 16, to run to the first day of December at tho snug lit tle course out beyond the Potomac river, known as Benning. With the eighth running of the famous annual champion steeplechase, the White Plains handicap, and the Belmont Park weight for age race at Belmont park this afternoon, the last of the real flrst-clAss fixtures of the year were decided, and from now to the "blow" the army of race track "regulars" which has hud Its nose to the grind stone, so to speak, from the early days of April right up to the present time. will find a moment In which to "go up to town" and enjoy a relaxation. The outcry against the hated tt alghtaway racing" In .vogue nt Bel mont Park has continued from the very first day of the meeting .right up to the present time. Racing thorough breds down a long straight lane, and then, again, sending the horses toward the left Instead of toward the right— the "reverse running." as It Is called —does not meet with the democratic notions of American racegoers. For over a hundred years New Yorkers have been accustomed to seeing fac ing gerund circular courses where every happening In the running may be discerned, and they still Insist on having It that The new-fangled ideas from the Eifglish turf. But they are not new, but rather.obsolete, since the "reverse metimd" has been observed across the Atlantic for yearn and years. Manager 8. 8. Howland, rela tive of August Belmont. Is responsible for the deiwtrture In this country. Here, at Belmont Park, he has made a fad of It. The public Is up. In arms, with the result that the attendance has hce:i very light all through the meeting. Talking with R. MacKenxie, of Winni peg, Man., at the Waldorf-Astoria one morning this week. Judge Clarence McDowell came valiantly to the de fense of Belmont Park nnd the strange Innovations now holding sway there. Said the well-known authority; "Bel mont Park Is the grandest racing course In the world today. "There Is nothing like It In either England or France. The trouble Is that the great plant Is about twenty-five years In advance of the times.’ New York racegoers will have to be edu cated up to It. They will learn to ap preciate Its advantages. For lnstan.ee, It will be proved that straightaway racing conserves to better form and more uniform racing. It Is the fastest course in the world, too. The soil Is as fresh and springy a# virgin mead ow earth, which really Is responsible for the many world’s records now to Its credit. Most of the courses now adays are slow because there Is no life in the soil of the course. At an ex pense of $15,000 the top cushion ut Belmont Park is changed every year."

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Vanderbilt and Alabama will fight It out Saturday In the mud. Dudley Field yesterday was a sea of mud and water and the boys when they had finished the scrim mage with the scrubs looked as though they had attended a hog-wallowing conteet. Coach McOugln and his team are expecting a hard fight with the Tuscalooaa team. Alabama put up u stiff argument last year against Van derbilt and at first gained considerable ground by using the famous Yale tan dem formation. In fact, the Tusca loosa team held the Commodores to a single touchdown In the game last year In the second half. On the dope Ala bama does not seem ns strong as Mis sissippi. which college Vanderbilt de- feated 29 to 0. Mississippi heat Mary ville 16 to 0, Alabama beat Maryville 6 to 0, hut short halves were played In the Alabamn-Maryvllle game and the dope may all be to the bad. Store than one eleven Is coming to Vanderbilt this year to try and take the scalp of the Commodores. In formation comes from Austin, Texas, that with Texas It Is "anything to heat Vanderbilt." The Commodores pul it CLEMSON TEAM IN BAD SHAPE Special to The Georgian. Clemson College, 8. C., Oct. 20.— Clemson will meet the University of Georgia today In a hot and doubtful contest. Clemson was never so badly crippled as now. Derrick, her oldest and largest player, can not go Into the game because of Injuries received be fore the game with V. P. I. Lykcs, one of the moat promising players Clemson has ever had. Is suffering from general _ poor condition and .will not be allowed to play again soon. Even the popular captain nnd mainstay of the team. Fur- tick, is so bruised from the conteat with V. P. I. that It will be practically Impossible for him to go into the game. Coach Williams is In a dilemma. He will have to meet the strong Georgia team with practically a new team of raw recruits. Summers, McLaurln and Gaston are the only old players likely to get Into the game. Unless the Clemson players can re cover from their Injuries they will be in bad shape to meet the strong A. & M. tenm at the state fair In Columbia next Thursday. ANOTHSUWmR. Boston, 0(*t. 20.—In a footbnli game nt Wlntheop yesterday be tween the local high school nn«! the Milton High School. Jntnc* Dodd, left halfback for the cloven,- Wiik kicked in the hack nnd In the head, lie finished out the game, hut hi* behavior mi* so peculiar that he wss takeu to hospital. He la now delirious over the Steers lost season by a Juicy McGugln. score. This season, however, Texes has two coaches, a Yale and a Colum bia man, and they are going to try ana turn the trick at any cost. It Is not certain, however, that any one, not even Michigan, will have an easy time in handling Vanderbilt this year. The defense Is even stronger than last year, the line is more aggres sive and more evenly balanced. Neither of the two teams that, have played Vanderbilt has been able to gain fi'# yards through the line or around end. The Commodore* have their same great back field and Jtoo new and good quar ters have bjjen developed by Co»*-‘a
