The Southern intercollegiate Ath- setic association, in perpetuation or It's absurd policy of straining for gnats and swallowing camels, has certain rule governing the playing of baseball auring summer vacations on the part ef college athletes.
 Under this rule, any athlete who plays baseball during summer vaea- hens on any club other than one of his home county, that athlete becomes simultaneously disqualified to partici- bate in intercollegiate competition.
 This rule Is perhaps the most ridie- plous of all the rules of the feeble and inefficient association which has juris- fiction over southern college athletics. As has been shown in previous articles n The Age Herald, it is, generally speaking. unobserved.
 As result, it Is probable that ma Icrity of the colleges having member ship in the association have player pr players on their football teams at tEe present moment, who, were the truth known, are absolutely disqual- lied.
 This is not necessarily an adverse triticism of the colleges. for 1t may happen that in some cases those in narge are ignorant. It is not at all h criticism of the player who, under | strict interpretation of the afore mentioned rule, Is ineligible-for no s,ne planes him for playing baseball h. the summer, and it must be ad- nitted that the ease with which the association is duped is powerful emptat ton for him to continue in guilt.
 Charges to the above eseet have leen repeatedly blazoned forth. They Ire not denied because they cannot be tefuted. The writer has been south bGn college athlete.
 He knows the names.
 If the association will undertake an Investigation and will admit it's ina kiiity to find a vioItiAn of the rule. ind if. the association will then call

SEWANEE DEFEATS TENNESSEE B ID 3
 IN RAGGED CONTEST
Tigers Show Strong Line. All Points Scored in
 First Half

Chattanooga, October 26.-(Special)- Dutplaying their opponents at every stage md in every department of the game. lhe Sewanee Tigers humbled the Ten hessee Vols here this afternoon by the score of 39 to 6.
 Both teams, however, played ragged and rratic ball. Tennessee's only marker ,ame as the result of a tumble by Toley. while three of Sewanees counters were tlso scored after similar pebbles. The irowd was the largest in the history of 11e local grldiron.
 The one feature of the fray was the ane. Although weakened by the loss of Dalton, the Virginia Military Institute Har, the Purple forwards literally tore the Orange and White line into shreds. Haywood especially smashed the Tennes- tee plays in practically every instance, while the ball was still behind the line tf scrimmage.
 The weather was too warm for foot ball and visbly affected the players. Time was called repeatedly, Gillem and gonde being slightly groggy at several pSrlouS. MdsWpodt 1llleiil anu oileiuuH proved the most formidable individuals bf the Tiger machine. Cameron Carroll And Fonde bore the brlnt for Tennes- pee. Gilem's bunting was up to the hsual high standard.
 All of the scores were made in the nrst half, neither team exerting itself in the last two quarters, Sewanee appar- bntly as matter of precaution and Ten hessee through despair.
 The first Tiger touchdown came in six minutes. A forward pass, Gillem to Shel- aon. placed the ball on Tennessees two yard lire, after two first downs had been made on consistent gains. Parker car Tied the ball oyer on the first try, but funbled. Ham, however. recovered for the marker Tolley kicked goal.
 In the second quarter came the four additional markers In rapid succession. The first came when Moore recovered Eonde's tumble on an attempted forward pass and ran 57 yards. The second was the result of Gillespie's blocking an at tempted kick by Fonde. McCallum re- covered the ball and raced 30 yards.
 The third was again the result of blocked punt On the kickoff McClan- nahan drove the ball clear over the goal line. Tennessee put the ball in play by scrimmage. Gillespie blocked another punt and Dobbins fell on the ball on Tennesee's two yard line Parker took it over on the first try. Tolley missed goal. The final marker came in two minutes after. Sheldon went around left end for 5s yards Tennessee's only marker oc eurred when Geisley recovered a fumbled punt of Tolley's and ran B yards

G[|DDEN ARRIVES IN NEW ORLEANS,
 COMPLETING TOUR
Takes His Car From Lakes to Gulf in Scheduled
 Time

New Orleans October 26.--fSpeclal)-
 Charles J. Gldden arrived in New Or leans at } o'clock this afternoon, com pleting his TOO mile tour from De- troit to New Orleans over the route of the Glidden tour to be held next time. Mr Glidden took his Maxwell from the lakes to the gulf on the same schedule of running time as prescribed for the contestant and reached New Orleans in 3 days. He was accompanied over the entire route by A. B. Davis of Detroit, driving one of the Maxwell cars, which won last years Glidden tour By suc- well becomes the only automobile to complete two Glid1en tour routes on schedule When Ifr. Glidden reached the outskirts of the city he was greeted by q line of motor cars a mile long. The escort formed into parade and drove through the principal streets be- fore large crowds lined up on each curb. Later in the evening MT Gid den and his party were guests at n dinner given by the New Orleans Auto mobile Dealers association. More than 50 entries for the contest next June were promised by clubs and munici- palities on the route, Heating q big field, when the contest takes place. All along the route there is q keen desire to retain the Glidden tour as the Ma tional Touring championship event Mir, Glidden, however, advocates reversing the route so that the cars will start from New Orleans and finish in Detroit, and on the buckshot and red clay roags he will demand a speed schedule not faster than he was able to make safe ly in his Maxwell "40" It is not known how the route reversed will be re- garded by the officials and those in- tending to participate but the ques- tion will be submitted to them at once

rot sure she has not the best all round Ilayer in the game.
 The Navy on the other hand seems way below par. Not only has she been scored against. but has been beaten in a way to make the sailors sauirm. Unless she takes brace before she meets West Point 1t looks very much as though the admirals will have to take a back seat this year
 There are some rumors from Tiger town. One Is to the effect that the Orange and Black team has a brand new formation with a lot Of good plays attached to it. So far it has only been worked In secret practice, but will be brought out in tine open in time 10 let the public see how 1t works on Harvard Another rumor has 1t that Naler Is developing much of n les drive and is kelly 10 show some fine work in the bunting department 5e- fore long.
 One of Penn's hig troubles this year is a weak substitute team The coaches have sent out an urgent call for more material, and the campus is being combed for new men. one new man nas been discovered already. Bloom Is his name. He played on last years scrub team. but did not want to get into the game this fall. He weighs 1S5 and Is said to be unusually fast. Rodgers, who pla.ed on the 1910 team. has also donned football togs since his SNarthmore game There were II coaches working on the Red and Blue team last week and Robinson Perot. the graduate manager, has sent ont over 100 letters 10 old players asking them to return to help out with the coaching. It looks as though the Penn eleven would have plenty of instruction nt least.

SUMMER BASEBALL RULE IS
 HANDICAP TO ATHLETE WHO
 WOULD DEAL WITH HONESTY
Ease With Which Association Is Duped-Temptaton Too Great For ReanceBelief Expressed That Association Gan Prevent Professionalism In Colleges and At Some Time Display Certain Mental Breadth-Some
 Pertinent Questions
BY CHARLES ". GREER

Tor proof, proof will be forthcoming
 masmueh as thete is no question but that the summer aselall rule is mak- Ing the association ridiculous and fur- nshing stumbling block for athletes in their attempts to deal in honesty with all concerned, il Is peculiarly strange that the association doesn't amend or abolish it's disagreeable con stitution of fab, ic rotten and odorif- ereus
 Professionalism in college sport is greatly to be deplored. Adopt strin- gent restriction against a professional entering college, but do not endeaVor to prevent a youth from playing base bal in the summer. When the associa- tion does make such an attempt to attain the impossible. It advertises It. self as inefficient, puritanical, rabid1y reaetionary and narrow to a degree most deplorable.
 The president of the Southern Inter collegiate Athletic association Is the official head of Vanderbilt university. Because he is so situated Is insuf- ficsent proof that all members of Van derbilt's football team are eligible un- der the interpretation of the rule gov erning summer baseball. They all may be. But are they, pr. Dudley?
 Has Alabama a clean slate? Has Auburn?
 Can either of the Mississippi mem bers cast stone?
 Is every man on the Georgia squad free of stain?
 Has any member of the team Of Georgia Tech ever played game of baseball for any team which was not located in his home county?
 There may be exceptions. But were the violators of the summer baseball rule known, the majority of southern colleges would lose a fhani
 Abolish the rule. Let's have clean athletics. But let's be of certain mental breadth at the same time.
 We do not confess ourselves as among those who believe that such course on the part of Inc Southern In- tercollegiate Athletic association is impossible.

HOWARD DEFEATED
 BY TULANE SQUAD

New Orleans, October 26.-tSpecial)- Howard was defeated here 35 to thls afternoon in a game in which all the honor went to the vanquished squad. The Birmingham boys showed plenty of fight ing spirit after a most disheartening start and instead of being knocked down and walked on and defeated by some such score as 100 10 Q they gave the Olive and Blue warriors about all they coud handle. In the first quarter Tulane marched down the field to touchdowns three times, every goal being kicked. It looked easy and this confidence among the locals was added to immediately at the start, Of the second quarter. Las. play of the first quarter had brought q touchdown for Tulane, so that in the sec ond quarter the locals kicked off to How ard, Howard fumbled the kick and Baker Smith recovered the ball and carried fl b within 10 feet of goal Then q mass play brought five more. after which forward pass to Baker Smith scored the fourth touchdown, all within one minute of the start of the second period. From and il was not until the fourth quarter that Tulane could score the fifth tolch- down. The Howard team began fighting and making good use of varied forward pass formation and was marching the ball down the field when the final whistle blew Lineup and summary follow:
