When the Nashville train came to rest In the old station Friday morning sixteen of the South's huskiest football warriors, Dan McGugln. coach of tho team, Frank Kyle, his assistant coach, ' and Will Ewing, sporting editor of Tho Nashville American, emerged from u sleeper and stole silently to the Aragon. The Commodores "had arrove." Just what brought them horo a day ahead of schedule nobody seemed to know—not even the members of the ' team. But they were there, all right; and as fine a lot of Houthern athletes aa It was ever anybody's privilege to Friday afternoon the Vanderbilt team will go to some secluded spot and run Sltnalr. Also, they mny do a bit of light work—Just enough to keep them In trim for Haturday 1 * contest. McGUQN IS WORRIED. "I look forward to tho Tech game aa a hard one,'! said Coach thin Mc Gugln. "The report that Tech Is weak nnd light has not encouraged us us much aa It has some of our friends. "Coach Helsman Is the dean of us all down here, and we look to his team to play some remarkable ball. “We have seen nothing of tricks nnd don't know what success wo shall have In blocking thorn. “One thing you can count on, and that Is a good game. Vanderbilt Is In KTeat condition. Outside of b rank Wynne, who has a bad knee and can not play, tho team Is In good condition. I expect that Vanderbilt will play her best, but I must ndmit most frankly that I am more or less worried over the outcome." Will Ewing, who has followed (he Vanderbilt team this year In every game and who Is one of the most en* thuslastlc of the Commodores’ rooter*, said thl* morning that He thought that If tho Vanderbilt team dealred they could run up 40 or f»0 points on tho Yellow Jacket*. Ewing Talks of Ttam. “I think It I* a matter of what Mc Gugln tolls the team," said Mr. Ewing. "I think the Vanderbilt team Is one of the wonders of the world. They can pretty near do what they want to. But’ It Is not Improbable, In view of the fact that Vanderbilt play* the Indian* next week, that the boys will take It comparatively easy. “The team weighs about pounds to tho man and Is lightning fust. The line-up will be: “Left end, Vaughn Blake; left tackle, Pritchard; left guard, McLain; center, Stone; right guard. Choro: right tackle,'E. Noel; right end. Bob Blake: quarterback, Costen; left half, Dan Blake; right half, Craig; fullback. Manier. . ..... “This team practically beat Michi gan. There was no doubt about It. Vanderbilt should have won that game, nnd they will whip the Indians. The team beats anything I ever saw. Stono at center Is one of tho greatest that ever played; Bob Blake Is as good a player ua ever wore a uniform and Tech field before their last hard prac tice In preparation for the Vanderbilt game—which Is for them tho supreme test of the year. And for a good ten minutes the men ran at each other In pairs, tackling vigorously and giving a life-like Imita tion of the way they arc going to stop the V&nderbllt runners Saturday. The Tech team Is not quite nt Its best. Sweet Is out of'practice on ac count of a bail cold; Luck's knees are In such condition that H I* usually hard for him to determine on which it Is best to limp, and “Lobster" Brown has not quite recovered from the ankle twist which kept him out of tho prac tice all last week. However, these men are slotyly “rounding to" nnd will probably be In good enough condition Saturday to In- lieisinan sadly. Tech hopes to score on Vanderbilt. “Of course they will beat us,” said Sweet, one of the oldest and most ex perienced men on the team. "They are larger, older, moro experienced and better players. We are outclassed. We are not even trying to keep that a se cret from ourselves. But It would not surprise me a lot to see us score against Vanderbilt. It might happen the way It did In that Georgia game— a good high kick, fast running by some of our men, a fumble and Tech has the ball nnd Is away with It and across the goal line. Of course that may he an Idle dream, but It Is a possibility— and we worked It three times on Geor gia." he added reminiscently. That Is the Tech hope now—to score on Vanderbilt, nnd to hold the rom* modorcs to a smaller score than any Southern team has yet done, or w ill do. One remarkable feature of the Tech team I* Its extreme youth—collectively and Individually. Young—Fast—Light. Davies I* the Methuselah of tho team. He has advanced to the extreme age of 23. Sweet 1* another of the patriarchs and has seen 21 summers go Hitting by. Perhaps one other man on the team COME AND if our Clothing is not worthy of you.

"Tarkle e»me. you fellow*, tinkle. You'll hove plenty of It to do Satur day." Huch wa* the prophetic utterance of Coach Helaman to hla miuoil Thure- duy afternoon when the hunch of foot- bull muterlal turned out on the nog*y NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS By PERCY H. WHITING. We ahull preach ii ahurt Mormon today, dearly beloved breth ren, taking an our text the wise but often-doubted saw—“llon- rat.v ia the beat policy,” show how it ean be applied to athletics and take aa our example the Vanderbilt team. .lust as a reminder it may be mentioned that the Vanderbilt team ia the best in the South today—one of the best in the coun try. N<> Southern team, recruited by any means, ban ever flaw ed with it. Secondly, it may be stated that this team was secured by hon est athletic methods. No inducements ore held out to athletes to go to Vanderbilt—none, that is, except the promise that every man who tries for a team will have an equal chance with every other man atitl that they will not have to go into competition with a lot of professionnls and tramp athletes. This team has becu built up by methods which were above criticism, and it proves one thing—that honesty pays in college athletics as well as elsewhere. Vanderbilt can not only say truthfully “our athletics have been decent from the first,” but they can add after “decent” the words “and successful.” If the teams which find it neeessary to send scouts among the “prep” schools, offer “athletic scholarships” and jcven conic right out and payiathlctes for serving would study the methods and the results of Vanderbilt they might leant some valuable lessons. * What is true ubout Vanderbilt is true of other colleges. Vanderbilt was meutioued as the team most conspicuously honest, the most successful nnd the one which will next lie seen ns Tech’s opponent in Atlanta. Of Course l MADE lUitY VHE STANDARD OF PURITY. COACH M'GUGIN. tsrsst their Tenneaaee rival*. Change* In Llna-Up. "Our line-up at the opening of Sat urday's game will be the euniu a* It Im* been In the most of the game* till" neasoti," said Coach Helsman In answer to a query. "But whut it . will bo at the end 1 can't even prophesy. I'm go ing to give them alt u chance. 1 travo u tot at good substitutes who cun <lo u* well ua tho regulars on defensive at least. And that's where they will be must of the tlmo. no doubt." uilded Mr. boasts of more than n score of years. The rest are In their teens. They are a fairly husky lot, how ever, and almost without un exception fast Not another man on tho team, except Henderson, Is even "heavy." as weight goes on a football team, and the speed of every one of them Is above tho normal about In proportion as their weight Is below the normal. Vanderbilt can safely count on some speedy plays being tried against them. Thursday afternoon Tech ran signals before they lined up for their llnal scrimmage. And of all the fancy, dou ble, triple and quadruple pusses, for ward ami backward, button-button- whose-got-the-button, now-you-aee- me-und-now-you-don't play* that were over Invented the Tech team hue them. They have not uncorked many of them yet, but Vanderbilt gets the benellt uf the whole outfit. Fur the Vunderbllt game Is the last supreme lest for Tech.

Sir Thomas paid a visit to Philadel phia yesterday to the home of Miss Morgan, daughter of Randall Morgun. the Philadelphia traction magnate, and It was said an Interview was held tn which lie-secured the promise of Miss Morgan to pilot his yacht should he bring another one to this country. Miss Morgan, since 1691. lias held a license for navigating all oceans. This Is the highest mark of navigat ing skill und there are only two other women In the world who hold u similar license. Miss Morgan also hold* a ceitlOcate as master of her father's yucht, the Wateras, which once belonged to Era- peror Francis Joseph. She also holds an additional license permitting her to pilot boats in Philadelphia waters. It Is no easy matter to obtain a pi lot’s license for the waters In this vi cinity, and a person applying for one has to pass a most rigid examination. At tho time of examination Miss Mor gan covered eight pages with the answers to questions put to her by tho commissioner and they were correct. Miss Morgan Is extremely popular among the young society folk, .-the lives with her parents In a beautiful home In Willow Grove avenue.
