UP-TO-DATE NEWS OF SPORTING WORLD THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1906. FOOTBALL POT BOILING OVER EDITED BY PERCY H. WHBTING ! 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! COACHES OF SOUTHERN TEAMS WRITE OF FOOTBALL IN SOUTH UNDER NEW RULES 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. Percy H. Whltlns, aportlns editor of The Georgian, soes to Nashville Wednesday nlsht and will cover the same for The Qeorslan. 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. WILL IAMS~TE A"M~WON. . Williams' team defeated It.

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, Kxendlne. Mount Pleasant, Vaukce Joe, 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.

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.

To do away wlth^'beef and might' and have In Its place agility and activity, I would suggest that no play be allowed inside tho tackles. Do away with line bucks entirely/* 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.” MANAGER SMITH SIGNS CATCHER DAN 0'LEAR' Dan O’Leary, star catcher of the Western League last year, has been signed by Billy Smith to catch for him next season.

Sax” Crawford Probably Coach Dahlonega in 1901 Saxton Crawford, ex-University of Tennessee football player and coach this,year at the North Georgia Agri cultural College at Dahlonega, Qa., passed through Atlanta Tuesday night on his way to Nashville to see the Van-; derbllt-Carllale game. J, ‘‘Our season Is over," said Mr. Craw ford, "and I am through with football for this year. I • hope to he back at Dahlonega again next year. The boys want me and I want to go, though I dm not sure that I can get awpy from business. "They certainly want a good team down there nnd they will get one, no matter how hard they have to work for 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 the first twenty minutes It wax ; ty a game as you ever saw. They trlri a kicking game and we stayed rtgti with them on that. Then one ol ou men was hur\ and Georgia took holding In the line, and after that; was all off. "After the Georgia game the trap broke training and ttie season tnH I hope, though, .that we shall have good team down there next year." • NAT KAISER & CO. Bargains in unredeemed Dk- monds.
