that ir the big games to be played this

Solon Making Fame.
Folon. the Minnesota fullback, la tear
ing up the oppoaltlon lines In a sur
prising fashion this year. Fie was good
Inst year, but this year his work Is bril

temer of strength, and, If Ih* keeps up
his early work he will demund consid
ers Mo attention when the All-American
jobs are parsed out.
Talbott, of Yule, who was Walter
Camp's selection for one of the All-
Amerlcnr tackles Is playing far beyond
bis work of last year. nd. unless he
“eraeke” during the big games, he is
practically certain of being the unnnl

tiukles.
I.cGeorge, n Yule sophomore, has been
doing some wondrtful work for Yale In
the fullback position. Ho hasn't been
tested in the big gunes us yet, but h)i
showing In the early games forces the
toot bail experts to give him great con
alderntior at this time LeGeorge Is

great clip, and he surely will he in posi

honors if he maintains his past dip In
the Princeton and Harvard games.
University of Pittsburg.
The University of Pittsburg eleven,
which already has beaten some of the
best and biggest teams In the Hast, will
put forth a number of candidates for the
i lgh honors. fhillln, of Princeton, one

stock slumped.
The University of Chicago has two

fHE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
New York.—" What's the matter with
Carlisle?” is the big football question
of the year, and even Glen Warner,
the great coach of the Indian eleven,
seems unable to make answer.
Not In years has any Carlisle team
made as poor an early season showing
as has Warner's 1914 outfit. Carlisle
always has had a team that took rank
with the greatest In the country. The
Carlisle teams of the past crushed the
smaller colleges and often played the
biggest and strongest either to a stand
■ till or went farther and gave them a
beating.
But this year It Is different. Car
lisle was beaten soundly In more of Its
first six games, and against the type
of foes that Carlisle would have con
sidered “easy meat" In the other years.
In Its first six games, Carlisle has
scored only 42 points,—an average of
only one touchdown an hour.
The Carlisle team of 1913 scored al
most as many points against the great
Dartmouth eleven In one game as has
the 1914 eleven In six games this year
against foes that are considered weak
lings In comparison with Dartmouth.
The strangest part of the Carlisle
reversal Is the fact that the Carlitle
team of 1914 at the outset of the sea
son looked to be just about as good
as the 1913 eleven.
Pugilistic champions pay Just about
as much attention to weight limits as
the Federal League does to Ban John
son's threat.
The bantam limit Is 116. Kid Wil
liams no longer will agree to weigh In
at that figure. About 120 or 121 is
more to his liking. And more within
his possibilities.

SPORT GOSSIP 1 STALLINGS AID
SOME OF HiS PLAYERS
New York—Walter Maranville, the
greatest shortstop in the game, broke
into baseball against his father’s
wishes. Pore Maranville thought that
"Rabbit" would make a mighty good
tinner, but as a ball player—bah!
Several years ago the “Rabbit" play
ed amateur baseball in odd moments
and his work attracted the attention or
the New Bedford, Mass. team. “Rab
bit" got an offer from the New Bed
ford team and went to his dad about
It.
"Turn it down," said Papa Maran
ville to "Rabbit” who just then was
learning the tinner's trade. “In a few
vears you'll develop into a good tin
ner and you'll make good wages—at
least $25 a week. As a hall player
you’ll never make good. You're too
small.”
“Rabbit” however had ambitions to
become a hall player. He thought he
could make good even If his father
didn’t. He disregarded the advice of
his dad an 1 signed up with New Bed
ford.
“You'll he sorry—and so will I,”
said his father when he heard what
“Rabbit” had done. "You’ll never make
good. They'll fire you In mighty short
order And you'll get so used to
loafing that you won't want to work
at your tinning job again Instead
of having a ftpn that I can be proud
of; a son who works hard at a regular
trade I’ll have a son who won't be
working at anything.”
Was Papa right—or, was Papa
wrong?
Incidentally, It might he stated that
Maranville. in his two years with New
Bedford and three years with the
Braves ftas earned about 20 times as
much money as he would have earned
in the tinning trade, and that during
11l LOST
TO HARVARD
In a Game Almost Devoid of
Spectacular Play East Wins
By Score of 7 to 0.
Cambridge, Mass.—Harvard defeated
Michigan. 7 to 0. here Saturday In a
football game almost devoid of spec
tacular play nnd confined to conser
vative attack and defense. Twenty
five thousand spectators witnessed 60
minutes of hard-fought scrimmage m
which straight football predominated
throughout. The general advance was
achieved by a series of line plunges,
varied by an occasional end run.
Harvard showed to better advantage
than tbe Westerners, displaying
stronger defence and striking with
savage rapidity and skill In the second
period, when the solitary score of the
game was made. Both elevens ap
peared to possess a stronger attack
thun defence, although the Crimson
line and secondary defence held like
a stone wall when the Wolverines
twice penetrated to Harvard's last 5-
yard line.
Disappointing Feature.
A disappointing .suture from the
spectators' standpoint was the ab
sence of the thrilling open attack some
thought Yost would uncover. Michi
gan attempted only one forward pass
and this was Intercepted. As If fur
ther to upset the ante-game forecasts.
th« Crimson used four, of which three
were successfully carried through.
Michigan used a rushing line of at
tack.
Harvard forced a touchdown and the
resultant goal In the second period.
Obtaining the ball at mtd-fteld on a
Michigan punt. Harvard opened the
scoring advance with a series of Un
plunges and knifing runs, piercing the
Wolverines' line for consistent gains
On Michigan's thtrty-jard line the
Western eleven held for two downs.
Forward Pass.
Temporarily checked. Quarterback
Logan called for a forward pass which,
perfectly executed, put the ball qn th»
visitors' 19-yard line. Again Harvard
wont to line bucking nnd by cleverly
mixing covered and delayed passes
made tbe scoring of the touchdown
and goal cemparntlvely easy.
With a seven-point advantage the
Harvard team played a defensive game
during a majority of the remaining
periods.

George Stallings declared after the

much credit for what the Brave have

Who Is Fred Mitchell?

who worked with the Yankees in 1910
and who drifted to the minors later
was the first man signed bv Stallings
when he was given the job as leader
of the Braves.
“Mitchell Is one of the branlest men
in baseball,” said Stallings. “He is
the greatest developer of pitchers In
the game. He took Dick Rudolph In
charge and changed him from a good
pitcher to a wonderful pitcher in less
than a year. Mitchell took ‘Big Bill’

"Mitchell has been teaching Strand

tricks. He has been teaching them
control and how to mix them up.
When next season opens I'll be ready
to send hoth those boys along as regu
lars and you’ll find that under Mitch
ell's teaching they soon will Jump Into
stardom.
“Mitchell’s name didn’t figure In the
world series. It didn't figure during
the regular series, but Mitchell, more
