plays, and do all round better work than will the Auburn forwards.
 In the kicking department Auburn has distinct advantage. Punting has beep Vandy's weakness this season, while Ma jor has few equals in the south in this regard.
 But it must be taken into consideration that weight and experience does all right to dope out the relative strength of two teams. but it does not always show supe- riorty The Auburn ends are heavier than those of Vanderbilt, but they are not the players that the Vanderbilt forwards are. So far as weight and experience is con cerned Auburn and Vanderbilt are well matched But are McGug1n's players, even those who are surpassed in both weight and experience by their Auburn opponents, better players than the Au- burnites? Do they know more football? Are they more aggressive? And have they that natural ability to play the game that is far better than weight, and that which years of experiencei cannot some times develop? That is the question upon which depends the relative strength of the two teams.
 Figures show that Vanderbilt has an edge. Scores give them an edge, also, but they likewise show Auburn to have an excellent machine According to figures the game should be great one. Whether 1t will or not depends upon which team knows more football, and which team is composed of the most players who are football players, regardless of weight and experience.

 CRUSHED IN SATURDAYS GAME
RAYMOND JONES UNDERWENT OPERATION YESTERDAY IN A LOCAL INFIRMARY-WILL BE OUT IN TWO WEEKS, DOCTOR REPORTS

Raymond Jones, the young Alaba ma end who was injured in the game Saturday afternoon between the football teams of the University of Alabama and Sewanee, was more seriously hurt than was at first supposed.
 An examination of the severe bruise beneath his left eye brought out the fact that the cheek bone had been crushed. An operation was performed yesterday by pr. John Davis, a part of the broken bone removed, and an abridgement of the fracture effected.
 pr. Davis stated last night that Jones would probably be out of the hospital within two weeks.
 The wounded athlete is native of Huntsville His mother and father who came to Birmingham to see the game, were with him during the operation
 Jones received his injury in a most peculiar manner. He had just been sub stituted for Wilkinson. when the Se- vance captain ordered play around left end Gillespie, with the ball, dived around the end, and fearing the tackler's aim, ,huddled so palpably that the referee inflicted penalty. As soon as the play was completed Jones was found lying in a semi-conscious state, and near him, with similar wound. was w Vande- graaff.
 Having been removed to the sidelines, Jones, in the care of physician, re- mained stretched in blanket during the remainder of the game. At the conciu- sion of the battle. he was lifted over the wire fence which had been erected to keep spectators back, and in the .uto- mobile of Dr. Aston Fitts of Tuscaloosa who attended the game, he was carried to the Davis inhrmary.
 W. vandegraaff was only slightly in- jured.

The Indians, however, have shot their bolt After sustaining a defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania Saturday, they may well be counted out of the running. Carlisle coaches evidently expected to have but little trouble in winning from Penn. The backbone of the Indian team, James Thorpe. was withheld from the contest during the early quarters Before he could be rushed to the assistance of his teammates. Penn had scored enough points to win.
 In the south the Auburn-X Vanderbilt game, which will be staged in Birming- ham next Saturday. will determine be- yond all reasonable doubt the southern football supremacy. Sewanee has not yet lost a game this season, but the Tigers have succeeded in downing only two S. l. A. A. colleges out of four played When Alabama, who has already lost to three s. l. A. A. aggregations this sea- son, tied them in Birmingham Saturday whatever hope there might have been en- tertained by the ardent sewanee sup porters for championship honors went up in smoke.
 Unless some remarkable and unforeseen turn of affairs completely upsets the present situation. there are but two real contenders for the $. I. A. A. cham pionship and these two are Vanderbilt and Auburn.

Atlanta, Ga, November T.-(Special)- J. w. Heisman, coach of the Georgia Teen athletic team, has been retained for a period of five years more by the Tech Athletic association, which held an op- tion on his services.
 At a meeting Friday night, the faculty meeting with the officers of the Athletic association decided to close on their op- tion Mir. Heismans salary for the rive years is at an increase over the contract which is to expire with the close of the baseball season next spring.
 This sets to rest the report that Heis- man was to leave Tech at the close or his present contract. He has offers from the University of Mississippi, Mercer Univ ersity, Clemson, Washington and Jet- ferson and Pennsylvania, but the increase that Tech offered him is more than was offered by any of these teams. Hence his agreement to stay.

MANDY TEAM HAS EDGE IN
 COMPARISON WITH AUBURN

Besides the mere statement that Van- herbilt will defeat Auburn in Birmingham next Saturday because the Commodores ran away with Georgia, because the Con- modores played Harvard a close game, because the Commodores are the Commo- dores and hence will win, and-just be- cause, what advantage does the McGu- gin machine have over the Auburnites that so insures them an easy victory?
 In weight the two teams are pretty evenly balanced. Auburn averages IT pounds while Vanderbilt tips the beam for an average of 174 pounds Three pounds advantage for Vanderbilt, an ad- vantage that could hardly be detected.
 As to experience, Auburn has eight vet erans, most of whom have seen over one years service. Vanderbilt has several men on the squad who are earning their monogram for the first time. Turner. Shipp and Robbins are new men.
 The Two Backfields
 Vanderbilt undoubtedly has better backheld than Auburn, although the IT. ger backs are no slouches. And most of all, Vanderbilt has Hardage. The work of the Commodore captain will play most important part in Saturdays game If Auburn can stop Hardage, Auburn's chances for a victory are increased three fold. Collins will hardly gain as much ground in the contest as will Kirk New ell. Sikes will find a worthy opponent in Ressijac, and Rip Major should show to an advantage over the Commodore quar- terbacks. Hardage alone overbalances the backneld strength.
 In the Lines
 in the line Vandy must be given an edge, but they by no means outclass the Auburn linesmen. Morgan is the best center fin the south, but he will have 70 call all of his prowess into play when pitted against Pitts, Auburns veteran center. Meadows and Lamb, at tackles, are both heavy. experienced and formida- ble, and they are easily match for the vandy pair who will oppose them. At end yandy again has the best of the argu- ment. Turner and Brown will spill more

GR|FF|THS' THREE REASONS WHY TEAM

Griffith has three big reasons to support his contention that Washington will di- vide the worlds series money in 1913.
 First, he has Walter Johnson, one Of the greatest pitchers in the world.
 Second, he has Clyde Milan, clever field er a better than 900 hitter and the best base runner in the league.
 Third, his team will be stronger next season than it was this year. It will have the benefit of a years experience as a team: the recruits will be better equipped to put up championship fight, and the team should get away to running start, which it did not do this year.

Nashville, November f.-(Special.) )-In- tercollegiate football has been played at Vanderbilt since 1891, but 1t was not until three years later until a salaried expert with exclusive coaching duties was en- gagged to supervise the instruction de- partment of Commodore squads. The only full story of Vanderbilt athletics Is to be found in a complete volume or the Hustler, the student weekly now in the possession of Dr. Dudley, dean of Van derbilt athletics, and reference to this shows that beginning with the season or 1894 but six coaches have served for an average of trifie more than three years, this being the ni1eteenth season since the professional coach was first engaged
 Pennsylvania was doing mighty deeds on the gridiron in the early nineties, ana her fame for football prowess spread abroad to such an extent that her product was in great demand as coaches at a time when the professional coach was just becoming general Nanderbilts first real coach was a former Pennsylvania tackle, Thornton, by name, who was second choice, however, as the first issue of the Hustler for that fall states that Vail, also of Penn, was expected to be engaged, Thornton filling in in view of Vails fail- ure to come to terms.
 Vandy's First Coach
 Thornton gave fair satisfaction and as a result, while he did not return the next year. the Pennsylvania style of work was approved of to the extent that Upton. sub Penn end, was the next man to have charge of a Vanderbilt team. That Upton was a pretty good coach is evidenced by the fact that he turned out the team that played Virginia to aastandstill in Atlanta in the fall of '95 during the Cotton States exposition.
 The next three seasons Robert Acton or Harvard, headed the Commodore teach ing department. Acton, who was native born Irishman, and a man of much force and personality as we'll as physical prow- ess, had been a great guard on the Grim son squad and during his residence here made many friends, who heard with re- gret of his somewhat tragic death several years later after he had become well known physician in New York. His ten ure of service as coach was longer than that of any other one man with the eX- ception of Dan McGugin.
 Switched to Princeton
 Vanderbilt authorities then switched from Penn. and Harvard to Princeton and for four years Princeton men had charge of the team, each one so employed serving two years. Crane, an end, was the first and Walter Watkins, the only southern squad, except Dan McGugin, who is now an acclimated rebel, was the second. Watkins had played quarter at Prince ton and is now lawyer in his home town, Chattanooga. He coached while at Au-
