{. ENGLISH CUTS
OUT BIC job IN
WHITNEY BOUT
FINE little Job Clarence Eng

a FINE little Job Clarence Eng
~ fish has taken on his broad
and manly shoulders. Mr.
English has agreed to stop the pu-
gilistic aspirations of Mr.. Frank
Whitney, scrapper of more or less
renown, in ten rounds. This is the
sort of job that John L. Sullivan
used to undertake when he was
playing melodrama, drinking booze,
and stopping all Corners. Mr. Eng
lish has no histrionic ambitions.
He eschews the flowing bowl. but
he declares he can beat any bloke
that will give away as much weight
as Whitney has promised to do in
this match.
Under the terms Of the agree
nent, Whitney must be on his back
and the referee must have pro-
nounced his "unus, duo, tres. quat-
tier, ETC. chant before he rises for
English to win. And, as we re-
marked before, it's a nice Job.
Whitney will not be giving away
a whole lot Of avoirdupois to the
Omaha veteran. Whitney always
weighs close around 1873. while Eng
fish can make 142 with all expedi-
ton and ease. In addition to this,
Whitney has proved to Atlanta
fans that he is always able TO take
pretty good care of himself under
amy and all conditions
Of course slashing. rough
house worker like English is liable
to stop anybody at any time. and
of course there is not the sclntiua
of chance for Whitney to halt
him for though Whitney is a man
of marked cleverness he doesn't
pack punch. Still the battle
should be mighty lively-a finished
boxer against tear-in scrapper.
and that's the kind Of fight to see.

Harris Cope Picks an Al-Sewanee All Time Team
Famous Coach Selects Eleven That Is Peacherino
By Harris Cope.

r T is a rather difficult matter to
pick an Observance, all time
team for the reason that they
have been playing football at Sc
vance for so many years, and be-
cause it is difficult TO get in touch
with any authority who has seen
both the old-time players and those
of today.
My own experience dates from
1897 to the present time, and in Sc
lecting the players I have stayed
within the-years between 1897 and
l912-the years / played and

F OR left end I select Silas Will
liams. He was a man feet s
inches tall weight $50 pounds. and
was on the team in 1906 1907 and
1908 He was picked as an all
Southern end two years. He was a
good hard player and had plenty of
brains.
For left tackle there is little ques-
ton but that Lex Stone should
have the call. He was a man
feet inches tall weighed 1870
pounds and played three years on
the team--l9O5, 1906 and 1907. His
record is well known. He was
marvelously good man, able to hold
his own with the very best.
w. s. Claiborn, of the 1897, 1898.
1899 and 1900 teams, is picked for
the left guard. He was a six foot
er, weighed 210, and was a steady,
clever player. He was an all

footer, weighed 200 pounds, ana had

vance teams-1S97, 1898, 1899 and
1900. He was a sure passer. a
good, defensive man, and steady.
He was always to be counted on.
For right guard there is no ques-
ton but that the honors should go
to H. ID. Phillips, who played five
years with the Sewanee team
1900. 1901, 1902, 1908 and 1904. He
