District Attorney Jerome has announced that lie will break
the next neck of gambling in New York or it will break his
•neck.
Both, maybe.
When he goes after race track gambling he goes after some
of the richest and most influential gamblers in Nfew York.
If he could clean Out the hand-book men he would do more
than any other man has ever done, and more than almost any
of them have ever tried to do,
And if ever there was a pesteferous little eveil it is that said
hand-book game.
Class Teams Battle Hard
But Neither Side Scores
Spcclnl lo The Georgian.
Emory College, Oxford, On.. Nov. 20.
Decidedly the most exciting scene ever
enacted on the Emory College gridiron
waa wltneaaed yesterday In the senior-
sophomore game. From the time of the
klck-ofT It was a hard light between
Emory's two best teams, but neither
side succertled In scoring a point. The
Anal score was 0 to 0.
The present sophomore team Is the
only team that has ever succeeded In
keeping the present senior eleven from
scoring. After the game the highly
elated sophs paraded the streets of Ox.
ford, crying the boost the seniors made
In their 1906 relay message: "Hkldoo,
relay! We ploy football!" Wade, Bird
and Elliot were sophomore stars, while
J. M. and W. A. Woodruff and Smith
made excellent gains for the seniors.
Yesterday's game between the Junior
and freshman teams resulted In a score
or 24 to 0 In favor of the juniors.
Carl Smith did some sensational work
by kicking goal tour times In succes
sion. On account of the muddy field

Only two more football da yg between the sporting page and
the bleak mid-winter dreariness which stretches almost unbrok
en from December 1 to “reporting season.”
The New Orleans Item commented recently on the fact that
a New Orleans semi-professional team nearly Secured a Cotton
States League franchise.
It will be a long flay before such a thing happens. The New
Orlcnns territory belongs to the New Orleans team and the only
way any other team could get in the city would be by playing out
law baseball.
And the Cotton States has trouble enough to wobble along
and dodge yellow fever and debts without taking on a light with
the National Association.
Somo paper, with line but unconscious humor, has printed
a note to the effect that Tcbeau is trying hard to expand the
(Western League and make it better.
“Sufferin’ snakes I” Tebcau’s efforts to make the American
Association "better” have been one of the saddest sights of or
ganized baseball—and about o a par with Charley Frank’s ef
forts to “purify baseball,” and Muggsy MeGraw’s attempts to
eliminate “rowdyism.”
Please pardon us while we smile.
From now until the day before the Clemson game gloom in
wads may be expected to be the hand out to the football sharps
who visit Tech.
But the cripples will all be in the line-up o nthe day which
made the turkey famous and what they’ll do to Clemson—well,
we’ll talk that over after the game.
ALEX SMITH HERE NOV. 27
' "New York, November 20.
"F. Q. Byrd,'. Atlanta, Ga.:
"Will leave Monday, 2<lli. for Atlanta."
(Signed) . “ALEX SMITH."
Such I. the telegram received yesterday by F. O. Byrd, chairman of '
the golf committee of the Atlanta Athletic Club, and the question of when
Alex Smith will be here Is at last settled.

who has won practically every open tournament which he has entered
this year. Including the U. S. Q. A.. Eastern Cl. A. and Western U. A. open
championships. Also, he Is the man who will be golf professional of the

Southern Football Coaches
Pleased With New Football
"Football In the Routh under the new
rule. Is a success," say the coaches of
the prominent Southern teams.
The new code, which etlrred up suc.h
a vast amount of criticism last winter,
and which, before the seaaon, most of
the roaches united In condemning, has
been tried and found Satisfactory, says
the current Issue of Rldgway's Maga-
xlne (Atlanta section).
U'may be remembered that last fall
the athletic tea-pot was stirred by
such tempestuous disturbances because
of football that It looked as though the
game would be relegated by most re
spectable colleges to the athletic down-
and-out club, along with ping-pong,
pugilism und a few others. It Is not
necessary to recount the many attacks
on the game—attempted actions by leg
islatures forbidding It, Its abolition by
Columbia, and other universities and u
scorching through the press which It
will long remember.
A new rules committee was conse
quently appointed and ordered to "re
form" the game. What they did was,
to put It gently, an "adequacy."
Nature of Changes.
Briefly, the changes which they de
cided upon provided (1) that ten yards
must be gained In three downs; (2)
that after a kicked ball hit the ground
everybody was "on side” and It be
longed to the man who got It: (3) that
one forward pass could be made during
each play; (4) that when lined up the
two teams must h» separated by a
“neutral sene" equal to the length of
the ball: (B) that hurdling be barred,
and (6) that time could be taken out
because of injuries only three time# in
each half.
Barring two or three games for each
team, an entire season has been played
under this revolutionary code. The
press has given a vote of confidence to
the new rules. The public has ex
pressed Its favor by attending the
games In greater number than evgr
before.
l!p to the present the coaches had not
been heard from. To And out what
they thought about the "new football" a
list of eighteen questions was submit
ted, to the most prominent coaches In
the Routh. From the answers to the
questions the following facts may be
set down as the views of Southern
coaches on football In the South under
the new rules:
What Coachn Think.

lessened the number of minor Injuries.
It Is a question whether or not they
have had any materlaj effect on the
number of serious Injuries.
They have assuredly made football
faster and more open—probably 35 per
cent more open.
CLEMSON WINS
FROM U. OF T.
COACH M’GUGAN THINKS
VANDY NIAY BEAT INDIANS
Bpeclal to Tlie Georgian.
Clemson College, H. C., Nov. 20.—
Clemson football team defeated the
University of Tennessee on a sloppy
field 16 to 0.
Neither team scored In the first half.
Tennessee could not make the required
distance at any time, and waa fre-
forced to punt. The ba.l was
l constantly In Tennessee's territory.
most of the Couches protested that
there was not much anyway.
Rtrange to relute, the coaches fa
vored the ten-yard rule, in u propor
tion of about two to one. Most of
them, however, voted In favoi-'of allow
ing ten ynrds In four downs.
With hurdly a dissenting vote the
roaches gave their approval to the "on-
■Ide kick" rule and not a man raised
his voice In protest against the for
ward pass, which was the novelty most
reviled before the season began. Only
one coarh gave his opinion that It
would be removed from the rode In
future years.
A practically unanimous vote waa
given to the rule requiring a "neutral
Rtrange to velate, however, the rule
forbidding "hurdling" did not »ult a
very large and very .prominent minor
ity.
To the question. “Which change In
the rules do you consider the most
vital?" the experts were almost equally
divided between the "on-slqe kick" and
the “ten-yards advance!
The question of which of the new
rules was the most desirable brought
out a tie between the “forward pass"
and the "on-side kick,” with the "ten-
yard” rule, the rules against brutality
and the “time-out” rule coming In fora
scattering vote.
There was a trifle more unanimity of
opinion about which rule among the
new ones was the least desirable and
the "ten-yard,” rate came In for the
vote of lack -of confidence, though the
"forward pass." "on-slde kick” and
other rules received some unfavorable
notice.
Four times In the first half Clemson
was within striking distance, only to
lose the ball on fumbles or downs.

Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 20.—Coach
MrGugln, of the Vanderbilt team, has
the fotlqwlng to say concerning the
Vanderbtlt-Indlan game on Thursday:
"Nobody In the world has any right
to expect Vanderbilt to beat the Car
lisle Indians. They have undoubtedly
the most remarkable team In their his
tory. Michigan beat us 10 to 4, Penn
sylvania beat Michigan 17 to 0 and the
Indluns beat Pennsylvania 24 to 6. That
would make It look like there were
about 40 points between the Indians
and Vanderbilt.
“To show that It was no accident
when the Indians beat Pennaylvanla
they turned round and defeated
Rwarthmore, who had previously de
feated Pennsylvania. Harvard; after
almost all of sixty long minutes of play,
managed to score five points against
the Indians on seme very doubtful
playing and Harvard look* to be bet
ter than Yale and Princeton to date.
Here Is another little bit of dope:
"Out of all the Western colleges tbi
year Minnesota Is the only one to hi«
a team near her standard of prevl*
sears. They were fortunate at Mil
nesota In having most of their old a
perienced men back, so that the #«
game rule, the three-year rule, the w
training-table rule, the no-prellminarj
training rale, and the mnnj- othr
things that the conference tried to f
to footbnll In the West, didn't affect I
so-much. Minnesota has a big bun
of rams, powerful and fast, who pro
ably average 190 pounds, yet they »<
unable to do anything against the l»
dlans Saturday ut all, while the Indian
were gutherlng In 17. J
"Another thing, this reputed lw
pound average of the Indians loo#
mighty off-color to me. They are im
ported to carry 39 bucka on their squiC
and If they only average 165 pounds «
Indians must be shrinking up- I l«*M
against these Indians once
there wasn't hardly a buck I
who weighed as little as - .
Vanderbilt has some chance to sw
hdwever."

CELEBRATION
FOR "PENNSY”
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 20.—Having
at last a victory to celebrate. Penn
sylvania celebrated with the entire cur
riculum of the university. The stu
dents cut all lectures and proceeded to
make merry. They assembled In front
of the training house and railed upon
each man who figured In the victory
over Michigan to participate.
Tomorrow Pennsylvania will get se
rious again, and every effort will he
inode to get the team In first-class trim
for the annual Thanksgiving contest
with Cornell.
Cambridge, Mass., Nov. • 20.—The
opening practice of the last week for
the Harvard football team was very
encouraging, as It showed that all the
squad will be on hand' for the Yale
game.
Keersberg will-be at-work-tomorrow
with his wrenched knee all right, and
Orr. whom foot bothered him. will also
be In the practice tomorrow. Dorr, who
has been out of the game with a severe
cold, will be In the game.
Every play which Harvard will de
pend upon for ground gain was gone
through. The signals for all of them
are new and many of them have not
been sprung in public. This means that
Reid has so far been able to keep with
in the team what he will spring at New
Haven next Bnturday.
Billy Rmlth Is just bubbling over with
'good story” these days. This Is no
"Jim Fox surprise,” either. Judging,
too, by the width of his smile and the
slse of hla expectations, he Is just on
the point of signing some "phenom.”
Up to-yqt. however, the story has not
been'deemed by the said B. Smith to
be sufficiently ripe for the plucking.
Rut be on the lookout for something
large and juicy. -
Paul Cobb, the brother of Cyrus Cobb,
the Georgia boy who played such great
baseball with Detroit laat season, has
written to Billy Rmlth. asking W|
