Golfer Hilton Won't Have a Cinch This Year
Tech Eleven VIII Suffer by Lack of Drawn
By Percy H. Whiting.


Tech football players. Coach
j. w. Heisman has been
making his annual trip to Ohio, but
will soon be ready to take up his
duties. And it is likely that, be-
cause of the scarcity of material
and the generally poor prospects
out at the Flats, he will make an
earlier and a more vigorous start
than usual
The need for heavy men, which
arises under the changed rules of
1913, will put the Jackets in a ter
rible fix. They don't get heavy
men at Tech. somehow. Light fast
men and quick thinkers there are
always plenty Of. But Heisman
has never had enough huskies,
even under the rules that put a
premium on speed and made but
few big men necessary on a team
Cupid has a way OF playing havoc
with the University of Virginia
football prospects. Last year, at a
critical moment, Hedley McNeer
Brown married and quit the game.
This year John Forest Goodhue, of
Beaumont, Texas, has married and
has left on an extended trip abroad
In addition to Goodhue, Virginia
will lose Ffnlay, a Chattanooga boy
who started his career at Sewanee.
Except for GOodhue and Finlay, the
entire Virginia team of last year
will be returned. This sounds bad
for Vanderbilt.
The Virginia team will probably
do a couple of weeks of light. early
training at Sweet Chalybeate
Springs before, taking up real ac-
tive training.
Money is being raised to take
the Tulane football candidates to
Bay st. Louis for ten days Of
limbering up before the real season
begins. The candidates will leave
September 10. Head Coach Mason
will take charge of the squad as
soon as it returns from this jaunt.
The University of Alabama team
is counting on the return of only
five of last years regulars They
are Adrian. Hargrove, Van de
CRAFT, Hicks and Mcdowell. Ala
bama has a pretty stiff schedule
and the task of meeting Tech, Mis-
sissippi A. & M, Georgia, Tulane
Mississippi, Sewanee and Tonnes
see in a row would test any team
to the limits. The game with Tech
will be played in Atlanta Octo-
Der 10.
The University Of Texas football
schedule has just been announced.
This fall the Texans will neither
make any long trips themselves nor
bring any teams from great dis
tances, with the exception of the
University of Mississippi.
II will be noted that the Auburn
team has cut out it's usual Texas
trips Last year the Auburnites
put on more mileage than Presi-
dent Taft This year they will
stick around home They play two
games on their own campus. two in
Birmingham, one in Atlanta, one in
Columbus. Ga, one In Athens and
one IN Mobile.
