i t UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 21, TDOfi. FOOTBALL POT BOILING OVER EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING 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 Georgian Sends Representative To Vanderbilt-Carlisle Game The moat Important football same in the South this year Is the Van- derbllt-CarllsIe Indiana same In Nashville Thursday.

MANAGER SMITH SIGNS FOOTBALL IN SOUTH UNDER NEW RULES CATCHER DAN O’LEAR 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.

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.

To do away with 'beef and might* and have In ita place agility and activity, I would suggest that no-play be allowed inside the tackles. Do away with line 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, weighs 170 pounds and Is 28 years old.

I hope to be back at Dahlonega again next year. The boys want me and I want to go. though I am not sure that I can get away from business. "They, certainly want a good team down- there and they wijl get one, no matter how hard they have to work for It.
