BOB BLAKE DISCUSSES THE
 M'GUGIN COACHING SYSTEM
W WLT. TIT

ing MeGugin has been the greatest dc- veloper of new plays the south has ever had, probably. and the beauty about it Is that they are all standard plays. There is the split play. one of the most effective line bucks that has ever been devised. It was introduced in The south by Me- Gugin, and has been adopted by all coaches. but was not mastered by them until Vanderbilt had had the use of 1t fer one season In fact, 1t has always re. maned as one of Yanderbilt's own plays.
 The Forward Pass
 The forward pass Is another. In the early days of the pass the eastern coaches derided 1t. It was considered a species of basketball. While they were doing that MeGugin was developing 1t. and it has proven an important factor in his success. In 1907, for instance year where the pass reached high develop- ment, it enabled Vanderbilt to win the Sewanee game and tie the Navy game. Every man on the Vanderbilt team is a trained receiver of passes, and practi- cally all of them are good at passing the ball. The long straight shot pass is Me- Gugin's own speciality, and he has taughta his men the trick of the thing. Some times in the early part of the season the entire squad will quit playing football and have d great game of baseball with a football for the ball. That kind Of practice makes them sure In the hands ling of the most difficult passes while hours and hours of patient drilling In the proper throwing of the ball make 1t req sonably certain that the passes will be properly made.

luck did not fall to the Sox, this state meat appears paradoxieal, taking for granted the fact that the best team, with an even break of luck, should win. However, paradoxical as it may seem, it is, in the opinion of the writer, true. Boston has a team composed of a great outfielder, wonderful pitcher, Ia brilliant shortstop, and a mediocre team New York, with the exception of mediocre shortstop and centerfield- CT, composes a wonderful team. Elimi- nate Wood, Wagner or, possibly Speaker from the Boston lineup, and they would probably find a berth in the second division. It would be hard to eliminate q single man from the Giant aggrega- tion whose loss would change the stand ing of the New Workers
 Why Boston Won
 It may be argued that the stars of the Boston outfit go to make up their team, and that their acquisition makes them a superior club to the Giants, but man for man the Giants compose the stronger club. Then the question may arise as to why the Giants were de- feated. It is needless to review the various details of the series that de- cided the results. Ii may be attributed to one of the inexplainsble feats of baseball-in any case they were de- ltaltut ilt Dttdhs oi tIt kdnito aciG about evenly divided but the fates of baseball so deereed that the brilliant stars of the Boston outfit were allowed to shoulder the bulk of the work at crucial stages, while to the more or less mediocre players of the New York team fell the responsibility of sustain ing the burden of the Giant strength at critical moments. The pitching of Wood. the sensational fielding of Wag ner, and the hitting of Speaker. when the results were in balance won for Boston. In such moments Fletcher and Snodgrass, the mediocre makeup of the Giant club, were forced to represent New York's strength. The success of the first trio won for Boston. the fail ure of the second pair cost the Giants the championship. In other words, it so happened that. in the critical stages of the games the strength of the Bos- ton club was pitted against the weak ness of their National opponents.

HIGH SCHOOL VS. V. OF A. RESERVES
 THIS AFTERNOON

University, October T.-(Special)-On Friday afternoon the scrub team of the university will play the fast Birmingham High school eleven in Birmingham. Many of the men on this team have made strong efforts for varsity berths, some being kept off by their lack of weight and others by lack of experience. The team is in ex- cellent shape and should have little trou- ble in defeating the high school. Last year the scrubs ran up a large score against Courleux's men, and they are con fident of repeating, but are taking no chances, and working hard. The lineup will be as follows.
 Right end Clarke; right tackle, Israel; right guard Riddick; center, Miller; left guard, Martin; left tackle, Candy; left end. Sewell or hagin; right half. Taylor or May fullback, Johnson or Halsey: left half; Cargyle; quarter, Abele.
 Assistant Cooaeh Bpmgardner has been in charge of the scrub team and will ac- company them to Birmingham.

BIRMINGHAM COLLEGE HAS
 HARD GAME FOR SATURDAY

ever, and Coach Hun has been driving them hard for the past two weeks. and the Sand Mountain Tigers will go into the game determined to win and will con test every inch of ground.
 Albertville defeated the Preachers 30 to Q last year, but word comes from Bir mingham to the effect that Coach Henry has his boys in fine shape for the game and will try to avenge last years de. feat.
 Logan and Clemens. two of Albert ville's mainstays on last years dham- pionshipteam, are with Owentown this time. Interestis at fever heat here over the outcome of the game, and while the local enthusiasts are confident of voetory it promieses to be the hardest proposition the locals will go up against this season and the eleven that wins Saturdays game will most likely be the 1912 prep cham pions of Alabama.
 c. M, Dannelly of Attalla and Coach B. L. Nugin of Howard college will like ly be the officials.

FORMAL CHARGES TO
 BE ISSUED AGAINST PRESIDENT H. FOGEL
THE PAST WORLDS SERIES
 WAS FIERCEST IN HISTORY
Red Sox Undputed Worlds Champions But Won Title Over
 Superior Club-Breaks of Game Evenly Divided
By c. ". GREER

The dust of the 1912 worlds series battles has drifted away. leaving the Boston Red sox. the followers of Jakey Stahl, proudly triumphant in their title of the worlds baseball champions.
 From one of the hardest fought se- ries in the history of the game, from series that has broken all records for number of games played, they have emerged victorious. and their title to the worlds baseball supremacy Is un- disputed. When Yerkes came home with the winning run in the last game of the series, the Red Sox had won the four games from their national rivals required to give them the worlds championship, and once more the won derful baseball machine of John Me- Graw, after proving itself the class of the National league, had failed to de- feat it's American league rivals for the worlds supremacy
 Sox Were Fayorites
 1t is estimated that about 97 per cent of the baseball critics of the coun- try picked the Red sox to win Their wonderful work in the American league the past season marked them a team of the strongest calibre, and it was hard to see how the New York Giants were to defeat them four games for the championship. True to these pre- dictions they have won.
 But the New York Giants, although they have just suffered this defeat at the hands of the Red Sox, are, in the opinion of the writer the greatest ag- gregation of baseball players in the world today, and this opinion is based largely upon their work in the recent worlds series. The writer picked the Red Sox to defeat the Giants; doing so because in his judgment then the Amer ican leaguers composed a better team as a whole than did their Nationaa rivals. But while the prediction that Boston would win proved true, that they compose a better team than the Giants is hard to see now.
 Admitting that all of the breaks and

Albertville, October 17.-(Special. )-Prop- ably the best gridiron struggle of the season will take place here Saturday aft ernoon when the football teams of the Seventh District Agricultural school and the Birmingham college aggregation lock horns. This will probably be the hardest game the locals will have this season and much interest Is being manifested over the outcome of the struggle. The game will be played at the Marshall county fair grounds, and thousands of people will witness the game.
 The Albertville team will not be in the best of condition for the fray. Griffith, the star full back, was injured In a scrimmage two weeks ago and will not be able to play in Saturdays game Thomson will be out of the game on ac- count of parental objections. Dandy was injured in Tuesdays scrimmage and it is not likely that he will be able to play.

with the rest of the game. Zimmerman's s hitting was responsible for four of the Cubs tallies. His sacrifice fly scored Mill Ter in the first, his home run brought himself and Tinker home in the fourth and his double came in the eighth after Mllers triple had sent Good home.
 For the Sox wild pitch, followed by Schalk's single sent Borton across the plate in the second. Then in the sixth Collins and Weaver were infected by Zim- merman's habits and each hit home run, Borton having doubled between these ex- potts.

HIGH MEETS U.
 A. RESERVES AT
 WEST END TODAY

This afternoon the Birmingham High school will make it's first appearance on the home gridiron. when they meet the strong squad of the University of Ala bana reserves. The game will be played at West End park beginning at 3:3o.
 In the recent game with Marion, when High went down in defeat, their main weakness seemed to be in tackling. and Coach Courleux has drilled them consist ently in this department this week. Con- siderable attention has also been given to interference.
 The contest this afternoon should give local enthusiasts a good exhibition of football, as both teams are well matched and are about equally experienced. It is probable that the college boys will have the advantage of weight but the Hirh aggregation Is exceedingly fast, and hope to make up for their lack of weight by speed.
 Both teams are in excellent condition and promise a hard fight for the wir- ners.
 Highs probable lineup will be: Morton, left end: Stockmar. left tackle; Tribble or Weir, left guard; bowman, center; sni- der. right guard; Robinson, right tackle; tcaptain); Stephenson. righ half; Bowron. fullback: Barker or Blanchard, left half Wingo and Roach have been showing up well recently and will probably be given a chance during the game.

Too Many Rabbits in Western Texas

 West Texas has never been known to have had so many jackrabbits as now.
