FOUR RATHER EARLY TO BEGIN SELECTION OF ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALLERS— SOME SHOWING GREAT FORM ALREADY Ghee, Dartmouth Quarterback, is Considerably Among Those Present This Year.

Ghee, last your, waa generally selected as the A 1 • Kaaterri <juurttfrback because of his fine work but had to step aside when the All-American se lections were made and surrender the honor to Dorian, the general of the 1912 Notre Dame team. Up to the present time Ghee seems to stand hend and shoulders above the otlprr stAr Quarter backs It Is possible that ir the big games to be played this month some of the other quarterbacks will perform In style that will eclipse Ghee, but anyone who expects to over snadow Ghee’s work must do some hur rying 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 liant. On the defensive, Solon Is a 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 mc.ns choice ha one of the All-American 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 game clear through.

Doth men are circling the ends this year In a. way that brought big gains for Yale and both are heady. Houc> of Harvard, the AU-Kssttrn center last year, won’t grab the honor this year unless he makes a surprising Improvement. His work at that posi tion has been a disappointment. Wiley, of Yale has been rushing along at a great clip, and he surely will he in posi tion to make a strong .bid for the big 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 ««f Camp's All-American tackles last year. Is performing In fins «ty e this year. He seems like a strong candi date for the A'l Kastern honors, and may take the All-AmcYiean again. Klchcnlaub, of Notre Dame, was a big figure In the fight for the All- West cru fullback Job until the Yale game. The big fullback felled to live up to predictions In that game, and his stock slumped. The University of Chicago has two fine backfleld tnen and two great lines men that deserve much consideration when the A 1 •Western honors are doled out. J)os .lardlen, Chicago center, who was the almost unanimous All-American selection last yea*, Is performing In great fashion this year and undoubted ly will draw the double honor of being selected as the All-Western and AIN American center for 1914. Brlckley. Brlokley, tb»* great Harvard fu'lbnck. probably would hive been the unani mous All-American fullback had he re mained In the game throughout the sea son. Rut the fact that lie will 1 e out for all the Mg « irnes seems to klil his chances for landing the big honor Of course, no definite selections of the All star teams can he made ut this time. The Mg games still aretto he played. It Is the big g&mc* that nirnJsh tho real tests. Rome players show up as won ders during the preliminary games— when pitted against lighter teams. But In the big K'tucH they fall. It is on their showing in the big games, more than on their showing In the small games that the se’ectlon must he made. But this one thing seems fairly cer tain. The players who drew Jobs on the All-Eastern and All-Western teams last year, and who are In the game this yeir, have a fine chance of repeating, because, up to the present time, only a few play er* out of the hundreds of new one*, have risen to heights from which they can challenge the stars of 1912. feattured, were employed by Clemaon.

Savannah *»lgh, no matter whether Its a baseball game <A a contest on tho gridiron, the local lads groom them selves, stick on their war togs and jump in the fight with no other object In view but to defeat them.

IDT DEFEATED BY VIRGINIA In a Stubbornly Contested Game Vanderbilt Lost By the Score of 20 to 7. Nashville, Tenn. —Virginia out-play od Vanderbilt in footbnll here today and won a stubbornly contested game by a score of 20 to 7. Every touchdown made lr. the game was earned. There were no flukes and few penalties. Vanderbilt was penalized half the distance to her goal In the last quarter for sending Furry In twice In that period. Virginia scored first when, shortly after receiving the hall on the kick off the visiting team rushed down the field by a sVrtes of line plunges and Sparr went over the goal line for a touchdown.

After rushing the hall the length of the field In the fourth quarter Mayer went over tackle for Virginia's last touchdown and goal was kicked. In tho second quarter Vanderbilt carried the hall to within one foot of Virginia's goal. With four downs, [they failed to carry the spheroid over. Gooch for Virginia was the star of j the game. Curry was Vanderbilt's best ground-gainer and made several long runs. Mayor and Barker for Virginia also starred.

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. Johnny Kllbane, the featherweight 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. i it was in the finer points of team Live Sporting Talk of the Day champ, won't hop Into the ring under 1-0, although the limit 1s 122. Fred die Welsh, lightweight champion dJ the world, won’t do 133 ringside, the prescribed limit. Willie Ritchie, light weight champ of the dear and glorious U. S. A., makes 135 and no legs. Mike Gibbons, the acknowledged welterweight champion, won't submit to weighing In at ringside. He'll do 14a at 3 p. m.—and then gain about five pounds between that time and the flour set for the fight. The middleweight limit is 158. George Chip, leading claimant for the title of th it division, will make 153 at 5 p. r.i. but be won’t make it at ringside. His rlngsl le weight is 160—and over. Sta~ Batteries: Ham and Eggs. Rudolph and Gowdy. Montgomery and Stone. Johnson and Herrmann. Coffee and Doughnuts. Army and Navy. Tensilities and LaGrlppe. Pori, and Beans. The winter leaguers already have ‘‘canned” Ben Shibe from his nice cosv job as president of the Athletics and have given the job to Connie Mack. They have appointed Harry Davis manager In place of Mack. This will prove a surprise to the Athletic officials, but they must be prepared for surprises in the off sea son. On. of the golf commandments Is— “ Thou si.alt not kill thy caddy.” Re calling the size of some of the “boys ' who have caddied for us, we think that section ought to read—“ Thou shalt not sass thy caddy,- the next five years, unless an accident wrecks his future, he will earn more money than he would have earned In 40 years as a tinner. George Stallings declared after the series that “Fred Mitchell deserves as much credit for what the Brave have done as any man on the team.’’ Who Is Fred Mitchell? Mitchell Is “the power behind the throne,” Mitchell, a veteran catcher, 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’ James In hand showed him how to use his spit ball, showed him how to use his tremendous speed when neces sary and conserve It when It wasn’t and in less than a year he transform ed James from a raw, Inexperienced pitcher Into one of the best In the game. "Mitchell has been teaching Strand and Davis my youngsters, a few new 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 than any one man. Is responsible for what the Boston team has accomplish ed.” play that Michigan lost for, player for player, the Ann Arbor eleven was fully ; equal physically to the Cambridge combination. Collectively, however, they failed to move with the same co hesion and smoothness. lonu LOST TO mi BUI POINTS; Annapolis, Md.—The Navy met a tartar here today In North Carolina A and M„ and gained a two-point vie- i tory, 16 to 14, In the most warmly contested game played on the Navy field in a long time. The marking of victory was due to a blocked punt which fell behind the A. and M. goal line and was recovered by the visitors for a safety. Getting the Jump on their opponents and scoring first, the Carolinians kept fighting all the time. Their mastery of new football with many variations of the worfard pass was their great est asset.
