THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, SATURDAY OCTOBER, 23, 1906. UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD TECH AND SEWANEE BOYS CLASH EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING BOTH TEAMS ARE READY FOR TODAY’S BIG BATTLE Means Has Been Declared Ineligible, But Otherwise Tech Is in Fair Condition. McGugan and Hullihen He e to Get Line on Teams.

The Tech team Is ready to the minute. Dan McOugln, of Vanderbilt, la here to tee the fun. The officials are choeen. the field la ready, and At 3 o'clock Bewanee and Tech will line-up In the first big championship game of the Southern season. What will happen after that Is for football history to rocord. From early morning Indications, the weather Is to be pleasant, though little warm for fast football. With good weather the crowd which goes out to the field will be the largeat of the year—larger, probably, than all the others put together, and nprhapo the largest early-season crowd that Tech hold has ever known. The Sewanee team Is In Aral class condition, the men are trained down Just to the' right fineness, and both Coach Quill and Captain Watklna be lieve that the Sewnnoo Tigers have rather the better chanco for success. "The team Is In good condition and 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 fs that Sewanee has n heavy team. Our aver age Is 160 10-11." Mesne le Ineligible. Out at Tech there Is sorrow over ons 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 ts debarred .under the one-year rule. Coach Helsman ■ays that Means was out of school last year but that he left because of se rious lll-henlth. that he can ahow u doctor's certificate to that effect, and that Means was operated on after ho left Tech. and was In serious condi tion. He docs net consider that, under the circumstances. Means ought to be debarred, but he feels that If the mat ter comes up before the association, Tech'n case will be thrown out. In consequence of the Ineligibility nf Means, Sweet has been sent to full back. This puts a substitute In the 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 stiff knee, but otherwise the men are In fair condition. The betting le 6 to 4, with Sewanee at the long end. Tutwller, a University of Virginia man, will be the referee and Sibley, of Vanderbilt, the umpire. Dan McGugan Talks. Dan McOugan, who la In town for the game, seems fairly well pleased with Vanderbilt's prospects for the year. "We will have a fair team, think," he aald. "We lost 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 make up our team out of subatltutes and scrub material, but It Is all show ing up well." Mr. McOugan Is here for the game and goes back to Nashville tonight. Distinguished Visitors, Coach Hulllhsn, of the Grant Uni versity, te here also to see Bewanee play. His team tackles Bewanee, and he wants to get a line on the Tigers' game. Another distinguished visitor ts W. D. Mooney, of Murfreesboro, Tenn.. whose football team Is annually the beat In Tennessee, and who la one of the best versed men In the South In football loro and the theory and prac ttce of the game. "We hopo to have a championship team at our school this year.” ho said, "and to get another trial with the Gor don boys. Our team held Sewanee to four touchdowns and Is doing very well."

Holmes-Brantley, 6-2, 6-2, Missouri Expert Favors Hitting in the Clinches Owing to th© discussion between two local lighters 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, (s of interest: 1 "Our old friend, Mac Doyle, telegraph operator, boxing and wrestling promoter, former manager of fighter*, wrestlers, dogs and numerous other things, calls attention to the fact that was brought out once before, nafne- ly, that If the referees of boxing matches would Interpret the rules prbper- ly that they would spve themselves much work. •‘At present the Western A. A, U. Is considering nsktng the national body to frame up a new set of boxing rules, or to especially define If men can hit In the clinches. Ham Berger and Jack O’Brien could not agree on their match because Berger wanted to hit In the clinches and O’Brien said no. "What 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 bs 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 and clings to hts opponent to delay the game so as to regain his strength and wind that his opponent, as long ns hi* hands are free, can not smash away. Many referees rule otherwise. Harry Sharpe, who will handle the amateur boxing bouts at the M. A. C. next Saturday night. Is one of the men who believes that os soon as one man grabs his opponent that It is a clinch and that both men must slop fighting and step back nt his, Sharpe’s, com mand. v "It certainly does not seem fair. It also spoils good bouts. The man who fs the stronger and better tighter 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 front start to finish. One or two boys tried to hold und hit at the same time. These Doyle disqualified and the rules were strictly adhered to, afterwards. "It would not be a bad Idea to try the plan. In the strict meaning of the term it W4>uUl be impossible for men to hit while clinched. There Is nothing in the amateur rules about hitting In the clinches. # Such niattefs are left to the discretion of the referee. As long as the bouts are supposed to be ’fair, stand-up contests,’ there seems no reason for making one man stop boxing as soon as hts opponent grabs hold of him, even though the man that does the holding ts 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. U. wants new boxing rules, why not give the plan that there is no such thing os hitting in clinches a triair* SEWANEE TEAM WHICH MEETS TECH TODAY Here is the full 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, i Third Row—t'heape, Lewis, Harris, Claypool, Watkins, captain; Klrby-Smlth, mascot; Evi manager; Shipp, Jones, Ellis, Pastrano.

University of Georgia, Athena, Ga„ Oct. 20.—Tho Georgia football team left Athens Friday afternoon to tackle the Tiger, in their lair at Clemson. Just how the game la going to come out there 1, no saying, but It's apparent to the student body here that the team Is In rather badly crippled condition. Several of tho men are bunged up so they walk with difficulty. Several men were hurt In the Davidson game and others have been Injured during the week's hard practice. Harold Ketron's ankle la In a very bad condition. Pnrental 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. Georgs Battoy, 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. BUSY DAY FOR . footballists BIG GAMES IN THE SOUTH AND MANY MINOR ONES IN OTHER SECTION8. Assistant Coach Kyle Has Charge of Vanderbilt Today GEORGIA MAN BOOSTS JENNINGS Atlanta, Oa., Oct. 20. Sporting Editor of The Georgian, City: Dear Sir—You printed In Thursday afternoon’s paper nn Interesting article on Hughey Jennings, In which that once great player was accorded the praise that all who know him believe he deserves. Jennings Is well known In Atlanta, having coached the Uni versity of Georgia baseball teams back In '96, '96 and '97, when Tech was paying little attention to athletics and the University teams received unani mous support In this city. In 1896 Jennings put out a team that won the undisputed championship of the South by defeating Virginia and also licked the Unlveralty of Pennsyl- vanlu, with "King" Dickson In the box, by the score of 4 to 0. ' Among tho»o who played on this team wfere Reynolds Tlchenor, Douse Bradwell. Jack McBride, Jim Dougher ty and Fred Prlco, who was captain, all of Atlanta; Will Sanford, of Craw- fordvllle. who wns the star pitcher, after Frank Sparks, now one of the premier twlrlers of the , National League, was declared ineligible: Threat Moore, of Jackson: Hatton Lovejoy, county school commissioner of Troup, and Floyd Foster, now of Athens. ' And If I am not mistaken, Wilson Matthews, who managed the Savannah team that this year won the S. A. L. championship, played third base part of the season, subsequently going to Princeton. Your article speaks of Hanlon's breaking Jennings of the habit,nf pull ing,away from tho plate while butting. Jennings evidently profited well hy It, for he broke every Georgia player of the habit by throwing a pile of bats right at the batter’s box in practlco. The rrtult was that he .who pulled back stepped Into the bafts and tumbled onto his head. Six flays of this would cure any player of the habit, gnd so Jennings hnd a team of colleglanff who would hug the plate, choke the pitcher by forcing him to put 'em' over and sting the ball like professionals. If Billy Smith will try this treatment on Bob Wallnco next spring his center field problem will be solved. Although a professional and a mem ber of the muggalest baseball team ever got together, those old Orioles, Jennings was os fine an Irish gentle man us one ever saw and counts hla friends In Georgia by the score. U, OF GA. ALUMNUS. NEW YORK RACING SEASON COMES TO CLOSE OCT. 20 By J. 8. A. MACDONALD.' New York, Oct. 20.—In a little lea* than a month from today, or, to be exact, on the evehtlde of November 15, the curtain will fall on the Anal day of 1*06 racing for New Yorkers, at Aqueduct. L. 1. The very next day the cavalcade of homes and turr rnuowem. 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. l\. where the gntne will be taken up again on Friday, November 16. to run to the first day of December at the snug lit tle course out beyond the Potomac river, known as Bennlng. 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 first-class fixtures of the year, were decided, and from now to the "blow" the army of race track "regulars” which has had 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 straightaway racing’’ in vogue «t Bel- mont Park hns continued from tho very first day of the meeting right up to tho present time. Racing thorough breds down a long straight lane, uud then, again, sending the horses toward the left Instead of toward the right— the "reverse running." ns It Is calleds —does not meet with the democratic notions of American racegoers. For over a hundred years New Yorkers have been accustomed to seeing rac ing around circular courses where every happening In the running may be discerned, and they still Insist on having It that way. The new-fangled ideas are imported o. Wrldxway. ibe two fens© of Belmont Park and 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-Ave 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 Instance. 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 sol! is us fresh and springy as vlf*gln mend 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 ihe soil of the course. At an ex pens© of $15,000 the top cushion at Belmont Park Is changed every year." ooooooooooaoooooooooooaooo O o O EVERS 18 SOLD. O O Billy Smith- today sold Jack O Q Evers to Augusta.

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Frank Kyle, Vanderbilt’s greatest of all quar terbacks, and probably the greatest the South has ever seen, has been selected as assistant coach to Dan McGugln 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-Sewanee game. Kyle Is a close student of the game, has a clear insight into the finer points, Is quick to take in a play or to Agure out one and has tho happy faculty of showing others what he knows. Kyle was by far the most remark able quarterback Vanderbilt or proba bly the South aver saw. Heavy enough for a half back (In which position he was very effective, too), fast enough for nn end, a strong tackier, Ane at framing a defense and picking the tveak spots in an opposing team, and equally 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 as quarter that Van derbilt In two years 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. His record In distance was next to that of Craig; his average gain at each trial exceeded even Craig. Tho members of the Vanderbilt team are for the most part former team mates of Kyle, and they respect and obey him Implicitly. Every one at Vanderbilt 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.

Dudley Field yesterday ae a aea of mud and water and the boys when they had finished the scrim mage with the scrubs looked as though they had attended it hog-wallowing contest. Coach McGugln and his team are expecting a hard fight with the Tuscaloosa team. Alabama put up n stiff argument last year against Van derbilt und 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 Ihe game last year In the second half, tin the dope Ala bama does not seem aa strong as Mis sissippi, which college Vanderbilt de feated 29 to 0. Mississippi beat Mary ville 16 to 0, Alabama beat Maryville 6 to 0, but short halves were played In the Alabama-Maryvtilc game and the dope may all be to the bad.
