To the careful observer he looks
woefully lacking in experience to be

he was nevertheless a wonderful

an open field runner, punter and
deadly tackler, he has the edge on
all Georgia quarterbacks. Had this
grand little player been with Van
derollt or some other champion
team his name would have gone
down in history as the greatest of
all Southern quarterbacks. Singu-
larly enough, his next closest rival
for all-star honors is his brother,
George, who played his last year
at Georgia in 1911. BY reason of
his field running, the palm goes to

as Georgia's greatest -fullback. The
old football rules gave this player
his opportunity, for 1t was his ir-
resistible line bucking which gives
him this place. He was also one
of the best punters Georgia has
had. He was used to back up the
line on defense and was far above
the average in this respect. The

There are at least a half dozen

youngster will surprise the fans by
making good one of these seasons.
He was bear in the minors. Two
years ago when he first Joined the

Richmond club and led the Virginia
league in batting at the end of the
season. Last year Albany secured
him and Priest again qualified for
the top place in the batting list. His
base running has also improved
during his stay in the minors and
the opinion seems to be that he is
fast enough to stick under the big

COPE DENIES

ANY RINGERS
TJARRIS COPE, famous Sc
IT vance athlete and now head

TJARRIS COPE, famous Sc
vance athlete and now head
coach of the Sewanee foot
ball team, was in Atlanta yester-
day on his way to Athens. where
Sewanee meets Georgia today.
Coach Cope was decidedly wroth
over the articles. emanatipg from
Athens charging, indirectly. that
the Sewanee team harbored sew
eral ringers
Any intention that we are play
ing ringers is in error" said Mr..
: Cope. They hint that there is
something suspicious in the cases
of Dobbins, Moore and Sheldon.
Take Dobbins. They say he
comes from Murfreesboro, Penn. AS
matter of fact, his home is in
Gallatin, Tenn, and he came to
Sewanee from the Murfreesboro,
Tenn, training school Very sus-
picious circumstances that!
Moore comes from Martin, Tenn.
He is trying to get a B.A. degree
in two years and is doubtless do
Ing more studying than any man in
college. His status is above ques-
ton.
AS for Sheldon, he comes from
Texas, 1t is true, but go do 40 or
90 other Sewanee boys every year.
Next to Tennessee, Sewanee gets
more boys from Texas than from
any other state in the Union. Shell
don went last year to West Texas
Military academy, where Frank
Julian, a former Sewanee player is
coaching and naturally Frank in
huenced him to come to Sewanee.
I'VE only have one other man on
the team this year who was not
on the mountain last year. He is
Hammond, sub. He comes from
the Griffin, Ga, High school.

ed Mr.. Cope, "ls that Georgia is
preparing an alibi"

ATEW YORK, Nov. at is gem
orally conceded that Mana
ger Wolverton made a ten
strike when he secured Claude Der
rick, the infielder Connie Mack dis
carded the past season, and one
who will do much to solve the prob
lem of the Yankee infleld next sea-
son
The mere fact that the shrewd
leader of the Athletics cut him
adrift is no reelection on the young
ster's ability. Mack comedies Der
rick looks to have a bright future
in the big league and tried vainly to
regain possession of him after he
was traded to the Orioles. He Is
thoroughly familiar with what the
player can do, having had him I'M
der his swing two seasons. There
was a slim chance of Derrick get
ting regular berth with the ex-
champs, though competing against
such men as Baker, Barry, Collins
and McInnis
This was one of the reasons Der
rick failed to shine in an Athletic
uniform. He had little chance to
play. 1t was rather discouraging
for a youngster to break in among
such a classy collection OF stars.
But next season Derrick will get
every chance to. display his wares.
for he appears to be just the player
Wolverton has been searching for
all year. There is plenty room for
classy youngster in the Yankee
infield.
OF the new material on hand the
former Athletic utility man appears
to be the best. At present he is
slated for the keystone sack, but If
Tommy Mcmillan fails to make
good at short, that is the position
which will probably fall to his lot.
There is no assurance either that
Mcmillan will be cast for the short
stop role. He will have to show
better form than he did during the
flag end of the season. While his
fielding was good enough to carry
him through a big league cam
paign, the batting of the Rochester
star fell off after he quit Cancels
outfit
Many who have seen him play
and are familiar with his style be-
lieve he is cut out for a short field
er, for he has a mighty good arm
and can shoot the ball across the
diamond with the best of them. He
is also speedy and good ground
coverer If it were left to his
choice. he would doubtless select
that position.
THE infield seems to be the only
concern of Wolverton in the
matter of reconstructing the team
that will make or break him as

institution. Hamilton was of the
short, stocky type and was unus-
ually fast for a man of his weight.
In giving him this place it must
also be said that he was the best
lineman and probably the best foot
ball player Georgia ever had. After
the Georgia North Carolina game
in 1899, Captain Pot" Graves, of
the Tarheels, and present coach at
West Point. said: 81 have never
known of but two things that could
stop me-a wire fence and Hamil-
ton, of Georgia" It was his ter
rife charging on defense, smashing
all interference aimed at his side of
the line, that gives him the honor of
being the greatest of all time.

other tackle position. Kent at

he was above the average as a de-
fensive~ player. Kent was con-;
sistent player and could always be

sion in cases Of emergency.
RIDLEY-LaGrange, Ga, weight
1870, stands pre- eminent among the
ends who have played football at
the University OF Georgia; he has
the distinction of being the only
Georgia player who held the cap
taincy of the team for two years.
His offensive work in carrying the
ball and his sensational hurdling

this position he was never charged
with a bad pass something that can
be said of few centers. Remark

with the ends on punts. However,
it is not due to Ketrons offensive
work that he is given place on the
