FOOTBALL POT BOILING OVER
EDITED BY

! NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
What will Vanderbilt do against Carlisle!
That is the question which is agitating the minds of Southern
football fans at present. ' 1
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 arc growing physically and mentally weak
er than the white races, 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 Tuscaroras, 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 Savages rather have it over
the proud representatives of Tennessee's big college.
According to Elbert Hubbard, football occupies the same rela
tion to education that a bull fight does to farming.
What we want to know in:—(1) Who said football was related
to education, anyway, (2) and what does Elbert know about bull ,
fighting!

Georgian Sends Representative
To Vanderbilt-Carlisle Game
The noil Important football same In the South this year I* the Van-
dcrhllt-Carllaln Indlarfa same In Nashville Thursday. Few games ever
played in the South have attracted more senernl Interest.

Vanderbilt Men Hope to
Hold Indian Team Safe
The followinc article by Ashby
Lovelace. Vanderbilt Law, 1900.
Slvea the Vanderbilt view of tho
romlns contest between Vander
bilt and the Indians:
Wild enthusiasm prevails on the
Vanderbilt campus over the prospects
of the varsity team In the approachlns
struggle with the Carlisle Indians.
"Dope" artists are hard at work ex
plaining Just how the game ia going
to come nut. and the whole university
Is stirred up aa never before In Its his
tory.
While from the Mlchlgan-Pennsyl-
vanla "dope" on the game, It appears
, that the Indians should beat the Com
modores by at least 40 points, the Van-
; derbllt supporters refuse to uccept such
'.figures. Curtis, Michigan's star ptay-
• er, was nut of the game between Mich-
! Igan and Pennsylvnnlu, and the Com-
I modern supporters give this reason for
j the derisive defeat of the Wolverines
J at the hands or Pennsylvania.
The students In the Vanderbilt camp
1 know their team well; Its strength and
| dogged determination they are relying
on to win Its way against any team
that dares to meet It In battle. And
it Is Impossible to beat It Into the brain
of the Commodores that the varsity
will meet an overwhelming match In
the Indians.
Vanderbilt does not expect to win.
In fact some of her supporters think
that odds of 10 to 1 on the Indians
taking the game Is a fair shot. Odds
of 2 to 1 are considered good by some
on Vanderbilt’s falling to score. Htlli
there Is a faint hope, in fact, a grow
ing belief down In tho hearts of the
students that their varsity team will
not only make (self felt against the
Indians, but that they will beat Car
lisle, or at least hold that team down
to a very small score.
Frequent mass meetings are being
held In the halls on the campus nnd
more university spirit Is expected to
be displayed at the Vanderhllt-Carllsle
game than at any for many years In
Nashville. Probably every student In
the university will turn out nnd tre
mendous crowds from (he city und aur-
roundlng country are expected. In
Nashville the greatest game of football
tho Routh has ever seen Is expected.

Vanderbilt-Indian Game
Promises To Be a Wonder
igpedsl to'The Georgian,
j Nashville. Tenn., Nor. 21.—'Thursday after
noon, pa Dudley Belli, the mighty Vernier-
blit team will go up sgalust the hardest
proposition It has struck sines football was
Brat played at the Institution, way back In
tbs eighties.
The Commodores will measure strength
against a team that has defeated Prpn-
syleanla, Minnesota and Bwarthraore this
season, nnd hekt Harvard to one Iona touch
down.
The Carlisle Indians, thirty-nine strong,
aro coming to Nashville, and they are
coming to win If they can. This team of
Bedaklns Is, without doubt, one of the very
Brat teams In the country, ranking for sev
eral seasons with the great teams of tho
East, Its standing'this year being especially
high.
1 The Indians nnd Vanderbilt have both
been trained to play fast, snappy ball. It
Is tha long suit of both elevens to lie
.quick to fall ou the hall, quick down the
I Behl, and to tnckle fast, low and hard.
The Indians, however, are full of tricks,
j Vanderbilt has a few good stunts In the
. trick line, hnt genegdly the Mctlngln utr-U
' have depended upon skill, speed, strength
and a knowledge of all the points of the
game. m
The Vanderbilt men are not only students
bat they an masters of all the departments
of the great game. They have been splen
didly coached, nnd the Indiana will prob
ably And them a hard nut to crack, lu
dulilltlon. If the Bold Is heavy, It may bo
worse for the Indians than for Vanderbilt.
The Commodores work licet on a fast Bold,
but they have demonstrated that they can
play some In the mud, too, aa was shown
In the Tech game.
It Is generally admitted In Nashville that
the Indians outclass Vanderbilt on form nnd
record, tiut those who have seen Vender-
tdlt work can’t see exactly bow the In
dlaus can win with any degree of ease.
Vanderbilt baa n back Bold that Is hardly
equaled lu the country, and her line has
held llko a stone wall all senson.
People are coming from Atlanta, Chatta
nooga, Memphis, Knoxville and Lunlarllle.
The greatest crowd that ever attended a
Southern game la expected.
There aro thirty-nine Indians In their
squad, and various tribes are represented.
Moat of them are Chippewas and Tusca
roras, but there are Slnuz, Itelawnre, Chey
enne, Caddna, Mission, Seneca, Oneida«, and
one Kekltnn. Alfred Venne. malinger of
the team. Is a Chippewa, lie Is n grad
nate of the Carlisle school. Iternus Pierce,
their conch. Is another Indian, and a for.
mer star on the team. Included In the
squad are such names as lJttle Hoy, Eagle
Man, Owl, Two Hearts, Kenjockety, Lubo,
Stabler, Brava Thunder. Nlcodemus Billy,

An article In the current number of
Rldgway’s Magazine contained the fol
lowing written opinions of various
prominent Southern football coaches on
the football of 1908 In tho South, as
played under the-new rules:
□an McGugin, Michigan.
Coach of Vanderbilt University team,
of Nashville, Tenn.:
“It Is hard Justly to estimate the
effect of the new rules. Vanderbilt has
been using end runs, ‘end around end’
and quarterback runs for three years.
Therefore, It has been unnecessary to
make much 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
tors."
James L. Quill, Yale.
Coach of the University of the South
team, of Rewqnee, Tenn.:
’’It Is easy to work out an offense
under the new rules, but It will take at
least a season or two before a satisfac
tory defense ran be devised.
’’The coaches and the men playing
the game are not fanflllar enough with
the new formations and tho new plays,
but after a trick play has been tried
once It seldom works again, and It Is
the trick plays that count, under the
new rules, when teams are evenly
matched.”
George 8. Whitney, Cornell.
Coach of the University of Georglu
team, of Athens, Qa.:
“The 1906 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 ate offered to the progressive play
er and coach.
"Punters, drop kickers, first-class
ends and quarterbacks have now taken
the glory formerly assumed by heavy
line men. The game has become one ct
skill nnd speed.
"Another year will see n 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 tali.”
Mike Donohue, Yale.
Coach of tho Alabama Polytechnic
Institute team, of Auburn, Ala.:
“The new rules have not nlfected
football much In the Routh. Play hote
has always been more open und cleaner
than elsewhere. I think that after we
got accustomed to the fact that we
have to make ten yards in three .downs
we will take a few chances and de
velop n more open offense. The new
game, If given a fair show, will not
only work, hut will prove the sulvatlon
of one of the best gumes there Is.”
Reid 8. Dickson, Pennsylvania.
Coach of the Maryville Collage team,
of Maryville, Tonn.:,
"The forward plus and the on-side
kick, with the host of possibilities, have
undoubtedly servtd to make football*
more populnr and more spectacular
than ever before. Tho expectation of
such plays has tended to expand the
dofenso qncl a more determined effort
Is being made to devise adequate sys
tems of defense as will ns offense.
"The new rules linvo made football,
more ’ than ever before, u game for
s|iectators."
8. D. Crawford (Tennessee), coach
of the North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege team, of Dahlonega, Ou.:
"The hew rules 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 Routh teams thnt
have heretofore been poor, have braced
up with tho now 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, Qa,:
•The changea 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

OUTCLASSED

Rewanee, Tenn., Nov. 21.—Maryville
■truck the surprise of her life here
yesterday when she wns defeated by
tho Rewanee team by a score of 28 to «.
After holding Auburn to a tie and de
feating Tennessee and Dahtonega In
good style It looked as though a couple
of touchdowns would be about the ex
tent of her defeat. Rewanee played a
great game, however, in »plte of the
muddy held and notwithstanding the
absence of Barrett from hla accustomed
position at halfback. In consequence
of Barrett’s absence Eiaele went to full
back and Lyne played quarter.

To do away wlth^'beef and might' and

would suggest that no play be allowed

Robert Patterson (Vanderbilt), coach
of the Georgia Military Academy team,
of College Park, Ga.:
“At first 1 thought the changes had
ruined football, but it seems that they
have not seriously affected It.. I am
strongly In favor of on-side rule. I
can't see that the new rules have lesr
eened Injuries. The limit of the num
ber of tlfnes to 'take out time' make
the Injuries seem less, because time
was frequently taken out under the ojd
rules to delay the game."
Frank J, Blake (Vanderbilt), coach
of tHe Gordon team, of Barnesvllle, Ga.:
“The new rules are proving more sat
isfactory than I first thought. Under
them, however, almost any team fa apt
to score on some freak of a chance and
win from a team manifestly superior.
The ten-yard rule puts a terrible hand
icap <'ii \w;.U Dam.'. The rule limiting
the number of times that time may be
taken, out Is a good one.”

on his way to Nashville to see the Van-;

‘‘Our season Is over," said Mr. Craw

not sure that I can get awpy from

"They certainly want a good team

It. I never saw so much enthusiasm or
men who try so hard.
"We should never have been beaten
as badly ns we were by Georgia. For
