FOOTBALL POT BOILING OVER
EDITED BY

NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
What will Vanderbilt do againat Carlisle?
That is the question which is agitating the minds of Southern
football fans at present. I
When the Commodores and the Indians clinch at Nashville on
Thursday afternoon the pick of Southern teams goes against the
cream of the aboriginees.
Anthropological sharps tell us sadly that the Indians are a de
generate race; that they are growing physically and mentally weak
er than the white raees, with which they find it impossible to com
pete.
This may be so in some walks of life, but when it comes to
the manly art of playing football the “Injun” is as good a man as.
his pale face brother, and better than most of the said pale faces.
Outside of the Harvard game, which the Indians lost by the
very moderate score of 5 to 0, the season has been one long, bloody
triumph for the Sioux, the Chippewas. the Tiiscaroras, the Chippe-
woodles, the Skidoos and the various allied tribes of the great Car
lisle nation.
What the savages can do against the sons of the men who ran
their forefathers out of the South some several years ago will be
.shown Thursday afternoon.
Here’s hoping for the best, though it must be sadly admitted
right now that it looks as though the Snvages rather have it over
the proud representatives of Tennessee’s big college.
According to Elbert Hubbard, football occupies the same rela
tion to education thnt a hull fight does to farming.
What we want to know is:—(1) Who said football was related
to education, anyway; (2) and what does Elbert know about bull
fightingf

Vanderbilt Men Hope to
Hold Indian Team Safe
The following article by Aahby
Lovelace. Vanderbilt Law, 1*06,
gives the Vanderbilt view of tho
coming contest between Vander
bilt and the Indiana:
Wild enthusiasm prevails on the
Vanderbilt campus over the prospects
of the varsity team In the approaching
struggle with the Carlisle Indiana.
"Dope” artists are hard at work ex
plaining Just how the game Is going
to come out. and the whole university
Is stirred up as never before In Its his
tory.
While from the Mlchlgan-Pennsyl-
i vanla “dope” on the game. It appear*
, that the Indians should beat the Com-
I modorea by at least 40 points, the Van-
l derbllt supporters refuse to accept such
: figures. Curtis, Michigan’s star play-
I er, was nut of the game between Mich-
I Igan and Pennsylvania, and the Com-
I modore supporters give this reason for
| the decisive defeat of the Wolverines
; at thg hands of Pennsylvania.
yife students In the Vanderbilt camp
! know their team well; Its strength and
[ dogged determination they are relying
' on to win Its way ugalnst any team
I that dare* to meet It In battle. And
I It I* Impossible to beat It Into the brain
I of the Commodores that the varsity
(will meet an overwhelming match In
the Indiana.
Vanderbilt does not expect to win.
In fact some of her supporters think
that odd* of 10 to | on the Indians
taking the game Is n fair shot. Odds
of 2 to 1 are considered good hy some
on Vanderbilt's falling to scute. 8MII
there Is a faint hope. In fact, a grow
ing belief down In the hearts of the
students that their varsity team will
nbt only make itself felt against the
Indians, hut that they will beat Car
lisle, or at least hold thit team down
to a v*ry small score.
Frequent mass meetings are belni
held In the halls on the campus am
more university spirit la expected to
be displayed at the Vanderhllt-Carltste
R ime than at any for many year* In
ashvlll*. Probably every student In
the university will turn out and tre
mendous crowds from the city and sur
rounding country are expected. In
Nashville the greatest game of football
the South has ever seen Is expected.
WILLIAMS TEAM WON.
T. Williams’ team defeated II. Oeld-
ert's'team In the bowling tournament
at the Atlanta Athletic Club Tuesday
night. Only one match was played and
hereafter only one will be played each
night. The schedule now calls for
games Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
night*.
Vanderbilt-Indian Game
Promises To Be a Wonder
| Special to The Georgian.
I Nashville. Tran., Nov. SI.—'Thursday after-
nooo, os Dudley Held, the mighty Vander
bilt tram will go up against the hardest
preposition It has struck since football was
flrst played at the Institution, way buck In
the eighties
The Commodores will measure strength
( against a team that has defeated Penn
sylvania, Minnesota and Bwarthmore this
season, and held Harvard to one lone touch
down.
The Carlisle Indians, thirty-nine strong,
| are coming to Nashville, and they are
1 coming to win If they can. This team of
| Redskins Is, without doubt, on* of the very
6rat teams In the country, ranking for sev
eral seasons with the great teams of the
Bast, Its standing this year being especially
high.
1 The Indians and Vanderbilt have both
been trained to play fast, snappy hall. It
Is the long suit of both elevens to Is
quick to fall on the hall, quick down the
- held, and to tackle fast, low nnd hard.
. The Indians, however, are full of tricks.
Vanderbilt has a few good alunta In the
trick line, list generally the klctlugln men
’ have depended upop skill, speed, strength
and a knowledge of all the points of the
. game. c
The Vanderbilt men nre not only students
but they are masters of all the departments
of the great game. They have been splen
didly coached, and the Indiana will prob
ably And them a hard nut to crack. In
addition. If the field Is heavy, It may bo
worse for the Indiana than for Vanderbilt.
The Commodores work lies! on a fast Held,
but they have demonstrated that they can
play some In the mud, too, as was shown
in the Tech game.
It ls generally admitted In Nashville that
the Indiana outrlaas Vanderbilt on form nnd
record, but those who have seen Vander
bilt work can’t ace exactly how the In
dians ran win with any degree of ease.
Vanderbilt has a back held that la hardly
equaled In the country, and her Hue has
held like a atone wall all aeaann.
People nre coming from Atlanta, Chatta
nooga. Memphis, Kuoxvllle and Louisville.
The greatest crowd that ever attended a
Southern game Is expected.
There are thirty-nine Indians In their
squad, and various tribes nre represented.
Most of them nre Chippewa* and Times-
roras, hut there are Bloux, Delaware, Chey
enne, Caddo*, Mission, Seneca, Oneida*, and
one Eskimo. Alfred Veune, manager of
the team. Is a Chippewa. He Is n grad
uate of the Carlisle school. Remus Pierce,
their cnaeh. Is another Indian, and a for
mer star on the team. Included In the
squad are aucb names as Little Roy, Eagle
Man. Owl. Two Hearts, Keujockety. Lubo,
Blabber, Brave Thunder, Nleodemua Billy,
Exendlne, Mount Pleasant, Yankee Joe,
An article In the current number of
Riilgway’s Magaxine contained the fol
lowing written opinions of various
prominent Southern football coaches on
the football of 1801 In the South, a;
played under the new rules:
Dan McGugin, Michigan.
Coach of Vanderbilt Unlveralty team,
of Nashville, Tenn.:
"It Is hard Justly to estimate the
effect of the new rules. Vanderbilt has
been utlng end runs; ‘end around end'
and quarterback runs for three ypars.
Therefore, It has been unnecessary to
make ihuch change In style of play.
My opinion Is that the new rules
generally have Improved the game and
that In time they will make It more at
tractive to both players and specta
tor*.”
James 'L. Quill, Yale.
Coach of the University of the South
team, of Sewanee, Tenn.:
"It Is easy to work nut an offense
under the new rules, but it will take at
loaat a season or two before a satisfac
tory defense can be 'devised.
“The coaches and the men playing
the game are not familiar enough with
the new formations and the new plays,
but after a trick play has been tried
once It seldom works again, and It Is
the trick p!,ay* that count, under the
new rules, when teams are evenly
matched.”
George 8, Whitney, Cornell.
Coach of the University of Georgia
team, of Athens. Ga.:
“The 1808 football rules have pro
duced a game far different than In any
previous years. In many features the
evolution of twenty years Is retained,
while In other respects, entirely new
possibilities for Initiative and explora
tion are offered to the progressive play
er nnd coach.
“Punters, drop kickers, flrsl-class
ends anil quarterback* have now taken
the glory formerly assumed by heavy
line men. The game has become one at
skill and speed.
"Another year will see a far better
exposition of the game under, the new
rules, for the Interim will afford a bet
ter preparation for the season than was
possible this fall.”
Mike Donohue, Yale.
Coach of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute team, of Auburn, Ain.:
"The new rules have not affected
fnothnll much In the South. Play here
has always been more open and cleaner
Ilian elsewhere. 1 think that after we
get accustomed to the fact that we
have to make ten yards In three downs
we will take a few chances nnd de
velop a more open offense. The new
game, If given a fair show, will nut
only work, but will provo tho salvation
of one of the best game* there Is."
Reid 8. Dickson, Pennsylvania.
Coach of tho Maryville College team,
of Maryville, Tonu.:
"The forward pas* and the on-*lde
kick, with tho holt of possibilities, have
undoubtedly served to make football
more popular and more spectacular
than ever before. Tho expectation of
auch plays has tended to expand the
defense and a more determined effort
Is being made to devise adequate sys
tems of defense as well as offense.
"The new rule* have made football,
more than ever before, a gam* for
spectators.” *
8. D. Crawford (Tennessee), coach
of the North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege team, of Dahlonega, Oa.:
"The new rule* have certainly made
football more open and from a spectac
ular point of view a lot more Interest
ing, especially for the people who do
not know the game.
"Throughout the South teams that
have heretofore been poor, have braced
up with the new rules, nnd I believe
next fall will show some of them well
up in the ranking.”
E. E. Tarr (Yale), coach of the Mer-
cer University team, of Macon, Ga.:
’The changes In the football rules
have proved of advantage to the prep
schools and colleges, where they have
light material. If a team finds that It

MARYVILLE
OUTCLASSED
Special to The Georgian.
Sewanee, Tenn., Nov. 21.—Maryville
struck the surprise of her life here
yesterday when she was defeated by
tho Sewanee team by a score of 28 to 0.
After holding Auburn to a tie and de
feating Tennessee and Dahlonega In
good style It looked as though a couple
of touchdowns would be about the ex
tent of her defeat. Sewanee played a
great game, however. In spite of the
muddy field and notwithstanding the
absence of Barrett from his accustomed
position at halfback. In consequence
of Barrett’s absence Etsele went to full
back and Lyne played quarter.

To do away with 'beef and might* and

would suggest that no-play be allowed

bucks entirely.”
Robert Patterson (Vanderbilt), coach
of the Georgia Military Academy team,
of College Park, Oa.:
“At flrst I thought the changes had
ruined football, but It seems that they
have not seriously affected 1L" I am
strongly In favor of on-slde rule. I
can't see that the new rules have les
sened Injuries. The limit of the num
ber of times to ‘take out time* make
the Injuries seem less, because time
was frequently taken out under the old
rules to delay the game."
Frank J. Blake (Vanderbilt), coach
of the Gordon team, of BarnesvHIe, Go.:
“The new rules are proving more sat
isfactory than I first thought. Under
them, however, almost any team Is apt
to score on some freak of a chance nnd
win* from a team manifestly superior.
The ten-yar/1 rule puts « terrible hand
icap on weak teams. The rule limiting
the number of times that time may be
taken out is a good one.”
Dan O’Leary, star catcher of the
Western League last year, has been
signed by Billy Smith to catch for him
next season.
O’Leary Is a wonder, according to all
the dope obtainable on his ability. He
is a man five feet ten inches tall,
