EIGHT
Augusta Boy Is Hailed As Coining Factor In Heavyweight Ranks
WHAT COMMUNITY SERVICE IS DOING
FOR FOOTBALL, AND WHAT FOOTBALL
WILL DO FOR THE CITY OF AUGUSTA
By GORDON W. CHAMBERS
Football 1* ths fall sport of
America. It Is played the length and
breadth of the land before such
crowds as are not seen at any
other game. Wo who do not Know
football may wonder what it la
about, but we are broad enough to
know that such popularity must be
deserved. And It is for the game
has an appeal particularly It's own
and the score one knows of foot
ball, the more Interesting the game
becomes.
Admitting the value of the exer
ciae as a physical developer, and
the Interest of the play, football
merits still greater and more funda
mental consideration* in Ha de
velopment Of discipline .• rtfvlde,
team play, quick thinking, spirit
and the ability to lake punishment
and to come back for more. Foot
ball comes eloaer to expressing the
American spirit and the American
idea than any other two games
combined. Any coach or player, who
violates the spiflt of this game, Is
a pretty poor sort.
It Is for these reasons that every
community should foster footbnll
and Augusta I* fortunate in having
He Community Service League,
which is composed of some twelve
teams and gives to the youth of
Augusts an opportunity to play the
great game, learn il's Intricate rules
and receive the other above enume
rated benefits under the healthy
auspices of the Augusta Community
Service, which has provided fields,
bell, coaches, schedules of games,
rules of play, und officials for
games. In fact the Community
Service has this year made scienti
fic football a reality for about two
hundred and fifty Augusta boys of
various ages from little youngsters
up till they are rpady to enter high
school.

Football as a civic proposition
does more for a city than any other
possible event. It brings to the city
of the game larger crowds of
visitors than any other game pos

flock to the game and college boys
are at the Impressionistic age.
They sea our city, are thrilled with
It and go away our best friends,

to corns back, which they often do.

Lester V. Stone, Jr., Protege of John McGraw,
Is Attracting Wide Attention In Fistic Circles
After Living Four Months In Piaster-Cast, Local Yoitth
Now Being Groomed As Dempsey’s Successor —W.
A. Leitch and Thomas Barrett, Jr., of Augusta “Dis
covered” Him
After living for four months in a plaster cast as a
result of injuries to his spine in a football game two or
three years ago, Lester V. Stone, Jr,, son of Mr. and Mrs.
L. V. Stone, 1531 Schley Street, this city, is today
being hailed as a coming factor in the heavyweight box
ing world. To adopt the vernacular of Horatio Alger,
a fitting title to the story of young Stone, for he is young,
would be: “From Broken Back to Boxing Bouts.”
To W. A. I.clteh, of tho Atlantic
Coast Lino Ha 11 road office,, here,
goes the credit of the “find." ac
cording to those who are closely
identified with the circumstance*,
and to Thomas Ilarrett, Jr., is due
tho fact that the boy got a ehance
to appear in tho fistic spotlight.
Mr. I-eltch. it is said, "found" that
tho boy could box through associa
tion with him at the Augusta “Y."
Mr. Leitch. being somewhat of a
boxer himself, took the boy on and
coached him a bit, until finally “L.
V." could lick his Instructor. In
that boy, Mr. Leitch say the mak
ings of a real heavyweight boxer
worthy of a try-out with tho big
leaguers.
JOHN McGRAW
BECOMES INTERESTED.
Mr. narrett, on being told of tho
bey wonder of Augusta by Mr.
Leitch, immediately went up to see
what kind of fire made such a
cloud of smoke, and he saw. What
he saw may be gathered from tho
fact that lie wont to work to get
"L. V." a chance with the big boys,
When John McOraw, manager of
the New York (Hants, came hero
with his teum last spring to play
tho Chicago White Box an exhibi
tion game, Mr. Barrett, who is a
personal friend of McOrsw’s, told
him about the hoy and made an
appointment for McOraw to see the
youngster strut his stuff at the "Y."
McOraw saw him work out and
was so Impressed by "L. W.'s"
showing that an arrangement was
tnado a short time sfterwnrd to
have the boy go to New York for
Instruction at Btiilman's Physical
Culture school in the fine points
und real hard knocks of the game.
Before leaving Augusta for his
embarkation on the course of train
ing "L. V." \vont to tell Mr. Leitch
good-bye, nnd Mr. Lsilch said.
"Hon, you're going up there where
they know a lot about boxing, and
the best way for you to do about
ieurnlng the game Is to forget that
you know anything at all. Absorb
all the tips you get, cultivate your
staying-power and test yourself
for ability to take punishment.’’
HE SEEMS TO BE
MAKING GOOD.
One of tho conditions under
whlrh young Stone was to get tlio
course at Stillman's was that if he
failed to absorb the training or
showed a lack of stamina or ability
to take some regular punishment
after three months in training they
would orate him up and ship him
back to hts beloved Augusta. Well,
to make that part of tho story
short. "I-. V.” Is still taking the
training after being up there for
the past six months. He must have
made good.
Coming to Augusta recently on a
visit. Stone again called on his
friend, Mr. Leitch. He told his
’‘discoverer'’ that after he had been
In New Y’ork but a short tlrno he
found out that what ho knew about
boxing was less than nothing. H«
also said that on one Oceanian
after he had been through the mill,
he thought, they Introduced,Jilm to.
a tough looking customer linld to
hall from Australia. The trainer
told the Australian to ‘‘go In there
and beat that kid up!” Btone went
on the mat with hts new adversary
and fought, sustaining a battered
countenance und several painful
bruises, but he etayed In tho fight
and fought for all he was worth
until those who set tho big Aus
tralian on him called for the calf
rope for their champion.
IS UNASSUMING
YOUNG FELLOW.
Y'oung Htone Is an unassuming
young fellow and a likable chap in
every particular, according to ev
eryone hero who knows him. All
those who frequent the Y’. M. C. A.,
especially the gym floor, know him.
and they nil speak highly of him.
Mr. Barrett cthild not he eecn at
the time this narrative was being
prepared, but Mr. Leltch give* Mr
Barrett credit for the great strides
young Rtone has made, as It was
through Mr. Barret fs Influence
with John McGraw that tho lad
gained notice from the source that
counted.
Joe Williams, nationally-fumed
sports writer for the Newspaper
Enterprise Association, has even
taktn notice of young Stone. In
recent article* eent out by his syn
dicate, William* says: “In the

WAS INJURED WHILE
PLAYING FOR A. R. C.
The injuries above referred to
were received while he was play
ing on the Richmond Academy foot
ball team In a game against Car
lisle school, of Bamberg, S. C. It
seems that one of tho Carlisle boys
made a "flying tackle” and hit "L.
V.” so forcibly as to dislocate one
of the vertebrao of his spine. Doc
tors straightened the kink out and
packed him into a plaster cast,
where he stayed for four months,
much to the distaste of a normal,
healthy American boy right at the
ago when football, boxing and like
strenuous sports meant the most to
him. However, far from dampen
ing his ardor In the boxing field,
the temporary affliction has to the
contrary appeared to lend Impetus
to his ambition to wear a crown in
his chosen field.
Besides being the home of Ty
Cobb and Jim Bagby, heroes of the
diamond, the boyhood playground of
Woodrow Wilson, and the favorite
haunt of several other presidents,
Augusta now produces and places
in the limelight of sportdom the
stout figure of another that makes
a bid for fame: Lester V. Btone,
Jr., the boy who arose frsm the bed
of un Invalid and went out and
lies, smashing down tho harriers
raised by doctors and challenging
the laws of nature to gain his end.
Helped? Yes, but only after he
himself, by that lnconquerable
power that comes with that resolvo
"I will!" was he helped up the last
few steps to tho big chance. Now
he must fight the rest of tils way
alone, for no one can help him cul
tivate thnt great stamina, science
nnd driving power that makes
great fighters.
”L. V.’a" friends hack home wish
him well nnd believe lie will come
out on top, because of the same
foCce in his make-up that lias put
him as near the top aj* he la today,
without which all that Mr. Leitch,
Mr. Barrett, John McOraw ana

to no avail.
‘ ‘Stop Grange! ’ ’ Is Battle Cry

By BILLY EVANS
Stop Grunge.
That la the slogan of every foot
ball coach that lias tho University
Of Illinois a* an opponent.
Last fall Grange made hi* debut
unheralded. He was easily the sen
sation of the country. His great
work won him a place on every
Alt-American eleven.
Thla year the name of Grange Is
a byword In the camp of every Il

l*ed If Zupplke’s team 1* to be beat
en Is the theory.
Coach Zuppke, one of th* shrewd

country. Is well aware of the cam
paign against Grange.
MICHIGAN

In tho first big test of th* y*ar,
the Michigan game, Grange made It
apparent that it Is going to be a
tough Job to stop him.
No doubt Coaches Yost and Lit
tle of Michigan have decided that
it can’t be don*, unless rival teams
resort to the lariat, a machine gun
or a pugilistic kayo.

STRIBLING HONORED
ATLANTA, Ga.—"Young"' Strlb
ling, sensational Georgia school boy
fighter, has acquired new honor. 1
Today he was awarded an honorary
letter In recognition of his “clean
sportsmanship and athletic ability"
by the letter men’s club of the Uni-!
verslty School for Boys here, where
he Is a student.
In addition, the youth, who lias
brought woe to a number of aspir
ing boxers, Is to bn cheer leader of
his school, when it's football team,
the Bluebirds, meets a Columbus
team Friday.
"RED” GRANGE
combined last year.
Last year Grange ran wide at all
times Michigan’s defense had been
built against such methods.
Coach Zuprke of Illinois upset th*
well-laid plans by having Grange
cut In and match his speed and
dodging ability against a broken
field.
DEVELOPS
OTHER STARS ,
With this thought In mind Zup
l'ke has developed several other
brilliant ball-carrier. While the ri
val rlex-ene are concentrating on
Grange Zuppke is hopeful that
some other backfltUi man will get
away.
Tn th» opening game of th* sea
son with Nebraska. Zuppke uncov
ered the fact that he intends shift
ing Grange's style of play this year.
Last year Grange did little or no
passing He' was Invariably on the
receiving end of any play. Zuppke
has given Orange another threat.
He now passes as well as he re
ceives the bail.
ZUPPKE SHIFTS
TACTICS
Early tn th# Nebraska gams, the
heavy line of thst team succeeded
Illinois forwards time after time,
throwing Grange for a loss.
Then it was that Zuppk* shifted
m sticks a
nls tactics. Grange Instead of car
rying the ball began to toss long
forward passes. A number of them
were completed.
This scheme caused the secondary
defense of Nebraska convinced that
Grange was no longer dangerous
as a ball-carrier, Illinois went back
to Grange.
In quick juccesslon he reeled off
several long runs, Nebraska being
entirely unprepared for such an of
fense.
USES CHANGE
OF PACE
Literally Zuppke has developed a
change of pace for Grange. It is
»us Intention to keep the opposi
tion guessing. Having them in that
frame of mind there Is always a
chance that Grange may get away
for a long run.
STOP GRANGE.
It's a great Idea if properly ex
ecuted.
However, there is always a
chance that some other Dlinois
player will get away while con
centrating on Grange.
Incidentally It’s going to be a
tough job to stop the same Mr.
Grange. Ask Michigan.

This Is the way a British press

"Many who had not previously

tounded by the prodigious hitting of
the American batsmen, the ball fre
quently falling into the gtadds. Tho
play was exceedingly fast, hut the
smart fighting of the Chicago side
was the downfall of the New York

"The seventh Inning gave the Sox

crease this In the following two
Innings where the Giants put on

wonderful catches in the outfield.
On one occasion he had to lean

BY AUBURN OWENS.
ATHENS, Ga.—The Georgia Bull
dogs held tlielr final scrimmage
Thursday afternoon before they
meet the Vanderbilt Commodores
Saturday in Nashville. With
"Roose” Day and "Ike” Joselove
and possibly Capt. John Fletcher
back In the lino-up, the Bulldogs’
chances of beating the Sea Cap
tains have Improved over a hun
dred per cent. On top of this comes
the announcement from the Com
modore stronghold that Lynn Bo
mar will be out of the game with
injuries received last Saturday
against Tulanc. To those who may
possibly be unacquainted with this
gentleman, it might be interesting
for them to know that it has been
he who has beaten Georgia for thee
last two years almost single-hand
ed and was in a large part respon
sible for a tie game with the Bull
dogs in 1921 when the Commodores
were doped to lose by two or three
touchdowns. However, the Nash
villians still have Gilreece, who,
with Bomar, helped to wreck the
Bulldog's hopes last year. But Doc
Kukp, the Vandy quarterback, who
made Reece's long sprints possible
I last year by his clever masked for
' matlons, will not be there this year
to direct the Commodore's wreck

GOAL FROM FIELD
ENABLES CAROLINA
TO DEFEAT CLEMSON
COLUMBIA. S. C.—Boatwright's
goal from the field In the third pe
riod enabled the University of
Carolina to defeat Clemson Col
lege. 3 to 0. here Thursday after
noon in the 22nd game between the
two institutions. The game, excit
ing throughout, was played as a
feature of the South Carolina State
Fair with an attendance in excess
of 10,009.
History of these annual clashes
between Tiger and Game Cock was
repeated in that in recent years the
big games have been by small
scores. Blake ' Edmunds, stalwart
forward of the winners, was the
opportunist of the game for it was
his run of an intercepted forward
pass that gave the sure-footed back
the chance to ring up the three
points necessary to win.
An exchange of kicks preceded
the break that decided the game.
Wright took Robinson’s kick in the
third period and was downed on his
own 15-yard line, Jeffords accepted
the challenge and sent a punt to
Robinson who ran It out off bounds
on Carolina's 2-yard line. Two line
plays netted no gain and Robinson
attempted a pass. Edmunds inter
cepted it and stepped off 47 yards
to Clemson's seven-yard line, where
he was brought to earth by Captain
Robinson. Boatwright replaced
Rogers after the back had fallen a
yard and the new back delivered the
same yardage. Brice's best was
about a yard and Boatwright went
back to the 17-yard line to attempt
a placement kick. The ball settled
squarely between the posts and the
