X • Aa x • • c L. . .w FORT WORTH, Tex—Meet the master magician, the Houdini of minor league baseball—Jacob Atz. He wag a promising young second baseman with the old White Sox—the hitless wonders. Age has taken him off the diamond as far as actual play Is concerned, but he still can manage, and Texas League fans will tell you they wouldn't trade .him for John Mc- Graw to run a club in this circuit. At* has practically cinched his fifth consecutive championship In the Texas League as manager of the Fort Worth Panthers. Not on ly has he won four pennants al ready and about landed the fifth, but he also has piloted his nine to victory in three of the four Dixie championship series in which his team has competed against the Southern Association pennant win ners. l!e Is now pruning his club to take Ihe measure of the Mem Many Changes In Coaching Ranks BY BILLY EVANS. Coaching a football team at a mujor college Is no longer a sine cure. Like the big league manager In baseball, the college football coach must deliver. If he is to retain pres tige and position. In the old days, If the coach suc ceeded in turning out a team that beat its hated rival, the season was considered to have been a success. It's different now. The huge stadiums a number of colleges have built in recent years haev considerably changed the stat us of the conch. There is a big overhead connected with these sta diums. In order to meet It and In cidentally make enough money to tide over sports that do not draw like football, the coach must an nually turn out a winner. The coach who has the happy faculty of some way developing a winner In foethall Is always in de mand. When the gridiron prestige of college begins to wane, the ath letlo board Immediately starts to flirt wtlth the successful mentor. Many New Mothods. This season will see new meth ods Installed In different sections of the country. A number of the loading colleges have changed their coaching systems. In an effort to cut a swath In southern football circles, Trinity has Howard Jones as coach. At lowa Jones met with great suc cess. won several championships and defeated Yale, his alma mater, In an Interaectlonal class. Trinity looks for Jones to put it on the football map. He should. On the Pacific coast, Stanford, tired of having Callforlna hog the spotlight, has Glenn Warner, who made history at University of Pitts burg ns coach. For several years Warner has been having Ills sys tem established at Stanford by certain assistants. This year he takes charge In person. Warner hopes to mnke things In teresting for Coach Andy Smith, of California. It is a well known fact that Warner usually makes good on anything he s«ts out to (lo in football. Moran at Bucknell. Rucknell will ba guided by Char ley Moran, who made the football worM takes notice with his great little Center College eleven. Buck nell dedicated a new stadium this year nnd wants a winner, must have It Some of the “Btc Ten” coaches are wondering if Illinois will miss Burt Ingwerson, who succeeds Howard Jones at lowa. For years Ingwerson has been a trusted lieu tenant of Zuppke aud greatly aided lu the development of championship teams at Illinois. Pave Morrow, former Washing ton nnd Jefferson star, will ngnln be back at his old school after severnl years’ absence, suceedlng Hetsmnn who goes to Rlee Insti tute In Texas. l'r. J. B. Sutherland, who played unuder Glecn Warner, at Pittsburg, and who for several years hns coached lat Lafayette, will be In charge at rittsburg. Sutherland hae had a very successful career as coach. These changes In the coaching systems In the various sections of the country will make for much re newed interest in the game. JAKI E ATZ phis Chicks In the 1924 classic. Without a single break, Jake Atz has piloted his team to nine half season victories and one full-sea son pennant, in 1923, when the sea son was not split. To Atz goes most of the credit for these victo ries. Ho hasn't any sensational youngsters on his club. Not a man on this year’s team could be considered a major league pros pect. In fact the club as a whole is Inferior to two or three others In the loop, man for man, but it has perfect team play and Atz's magic generalship. And that’s enough. Jakie Atz (everybody In the league Is against him but wild about him) Is easily the master magician of minor league baseball. Every year he takes a worn-out, broken-down team that the critics say is through and pilots it to a championship. Atz is pictured here in one of his typical poses on the coaching line. CLEMSON TIGERS DEFEAT ELON BY SCORE OF 60 TO 0 CLEMSON COLLEGE, S. C.— With an overcast sky weeping bit terly over bigg's Field Saturday afternoon, the Clemson Tigers were released from their cage In a furious mood and they clawed the Elon College eleven unmercifully, defeat ing them by the overwhelming score of 60 to 0. Elon was no match for the Tigers who swept across th» enemy's defense as easily as the rain drenched the gridiron. Uncorking a drive that wag dazzling to look upon, the Tigers counted a touchdown against Elon within two minutes after the game began. A few moments prior to the end of the second period, Pat Harmon received a 45-yard punt from Elon and raced 85 yards through the entire Elon team for a touchdown. Clemson blocked two punts with in the shadow of Elon's goal In the last quarter and counted a touch down In each Instance. In an exchange of punts In the last period Elon cavorted up the field and recovered a fumble on Clemson's 20-yard line, after losing ground on three line plays, White sell dropped back for a field goah the ball fell short of the Intended mark and Harmon returned the ball 15 yards.

C.—Playing 'on a field of mud and water the Citadel defeated the Southern Col lege eleven from Lakeland, Fla., here Saturday afternoon, 12 to 0, In a contest In which neither team waa able to demonstrate Its real ability as end-runs and broken field run ning were almost Impossible. Coach Carl Prause of the Citadel used many substitutes and kept shifting Ills men throughout, A 24-yard run by Pike Berry and dashes by Hal Duvall and Youngblood featured the offensive of the cadets together with the completion of four passes out of eight attempts with the soggy ball, one being for 18 yards to Ferguson and one to Johnson for 9 yards, resulted In a touchdown. Southern showed its lack of prep aration In its offense, not making a first down, but on defense its line held well throughout, Miller and "Westfall playing spectacular games at tackle, the former having a broken nose before entering the contest. Reese, fullback, also did excellent work in backing up h(s line. The Citadel made twelve first downs and its defense was impene trable, its -goal never being threat ened. The guards were particularly effective. Southern tried but two passes, one being intercepted and the other being good for four yards. The Citadel’s four passes were good for 44 yards in total. There was but one or two time-outs and no one was injured. Line-up: Southern (0) iCtadel (12) Position Spooner Ferguson L. E. Staats Doyle L. T. Mitchell Brown L. G. Watkins Brlnker C.

In the second game of a dou ble-header while Minneapolis was winning from Indianapolis, 3 to L BY AUBURN OWENS. ATHENS, GA.—The Georgia Bulldog scoring ma chine began functioning early in Saturday’s opening game with the Mercer Bears when they rolled up a total of thirteen points in the first quarter and continued their ruinous work throughout the last half for a 26-7 victory. Before a crowd of around five thousand cheering fans, the Bulldogs fulfilled the highest hopes of their most ardent followers by their wonderful attack and stout defense. The weather, none too ideal for play, combined with the slow, murky sod of the gridiron to handicap runners on both teams. The never-ending stream of reserves on the Georgia side-lines was too much for the tired out warriors of the Mercer eleven, who, worn out by their gallant at tack in the second quarter, were unable to withstand the onset of the Red-Jersied Backs in the second half. SEVERAL RECRUITS GIVEN BAPTISM recruits on the Georgia squad were initiated into the mys teries of varsity college football and showed an uncanny aptitude for catching on to their duties. Lucky, Mapp and Curran in the line, and Morton, Sherlock, and Hollis, got their baptism of fire, the first three appearing in the opening lineup and the latter trio serving as substitutes during a goodly por tion of the fray, besides others who played only a few minutes. The Bulldogs pulled a big sur prise by scoring on the visitors so early In the game. KILPATRICK SCORES FIRBT TOUCHDOWN With the ball near mid-field In the possession of the Red and Black crew. Quarterback Kilpatrick got away to a beautiful forty-five sprint, barely eluding the safety man of the Mercerttes by a bit of classical side-stepping and crossed the goal line for the first touchdown of the game. Randall failed to kick the goal. Score, Georgia, 6; Mercer, 0. Receiving the next kickoff, the ball was returned to midfield ag?ln. Here Nelson uncorcked a long end run' that put the Georgians in posi tion to score their second touch down. Randall and Butler, by some fierce line plunging, carried the pigskin over for another counter and after the former had kicked goal the count then stood 13 to 0 in the Bulldogs favor. MORE RESERVES ARE SENT IN In the beginning of the second quarter Coach Woodruff began sending In reserves to give his first stringers a rest. The Bears were not backward in taking advantage of the changes and after “Rusty” Lawrence, their brilliant little quarterback, had gotten away to a thirty-yard run, the ball was on Georgia’s twelve-yard line. Here the Bulldog line was subjected to Its first acid test of the game as well as of the season for Bears had been on the defensive up to this Juncture. With their backs to the wall the Bulldog defense stiffened and successfully repelled the vicious thrusts of the fighting Bruins- After the Bulldogs had punted out of danger, a fifteen-yard penalty rvas Imposed on idem for holding. Their goal was thus again threat ened and this time the visitors were not to be denied and pushed over their first and only marker of the afternoon and incidentally thejr first since the Baptist aggregation reappeared on the Georgia schedule two years ago. SCORE TWICE IN LAST TWO ROUNDS The Bulldogs scored twice In the last half in both the third and last quarter. After the Mercerltes had forced the locals to punt, “Scrappy” Moore completed with a sixty-flve yard boot which put the ball on the vistor’s twenty-yard line. Then Lawrence again appeared to have gotten away on one of his end runs when a husky Bulldog tackled him CIGARS Here are the Twenty Best Selling Brands in the State of Georgia and South Carolina.

Geor gia’s alert wingman. scooped it up and was only downed on the one yard line. Thomason then carried it over for another touchdown, but failed to kick goal. Score, Georgia, 19: Mercer, 7. The fourth and final touchdown of the game came near the end of the last quarter which was made possible by some wonderful broken field running by George Morton, ably aided and abetted by Nelson nnd Thomason. Both sides pro duced some outstanding performers during the time that the battle waged. For the Mfercer eleven, Lawrence at quarter, and Captain “Red” Simmons at tackle. Both played the game of their lives and was the backbone of both the of fense and defense. MERCER PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT However, this does not mean to say that they were the only ones in the Mercer lineup who were scrap ping. Every man on the entire team fought their best fight, pos sible to turn the tide and are as in their defeat as the victors in victory. On the Georgia side Kilpatrick, Nelson, and Randall In the back field and acting Captain Jim Taylor in the line are silhouted in the Red and Black background, while the whole crew were playing a fighting part in the triumph over the Orange and Black eleven. Luckey and Morton both deserve mention for their behavior under fire and seem to have a regular assignment cinched. Saturday’s opening contest of the 1924 season presented several new innovations in the technique of the game by placing the ball on the fifty-yard line for the kickoff in stead of forty as heretofore and without any tee to give drive to •the oval. Another change was in kicking goal. Instead of the ball resting on the. five-yard line it was placed three yards In front of the goal. Both sides, however, did not appear to experience any difficulty In executing the new regulations.
