MANDY TEAM STRONG FOR FIERCE BATTLE
 AGAINST HARVARD

it is the magnetism of the man. He haA the remarkable faculty Of realizing Just what string to pull to release all ths mad fighting stuff that is in the men.
 "Of course Vanderbilt will be at dis advantage at Cambridge because they are playing away from home" This is the argument put up by many football fans, all of which is the exact opposite of the real conditions To be sure. Nan- dcrbilt will be at a disadvantage because of tho long trip, but as for the foreign field, the Commodores have never yet failed to play better surrounded by sym nathizers of the enemy fhan at home among friends. The very fact that there are none, or few friends to them in the stands, seems to act as a stimulant. This will be the case Saturday.
 The Harvard eleven is far heavier. moro | experienced and in better shape than Vanderbilt. With all things else equal Vanderbilt wouldn't have one chance in million to win But All things are not equal. for Harvard wifi he overeenfiaene and Vanderbilt will be the reverse.
 The Kicking Department
 Tn the kicking department Harvard will have it all over the Commodores. 1 If Briekey plays. he will be the man
 upon whom the energies of the Wander l bilt team will be benf~to block in li.s
 attempts at field goals. He has been per l
 of 1000 per cent. However, there is due
 to the come break and that break il
 more likely to come in the Vanderbilt 1 game than at any other time. Tn tha 1 first place Briclxley will take his time,s thinking that he has all day with hIs | powerful line in front of him. Right there
 he will soon find that he is mistaken. I He will probably be rushed harder when kicking in the Vanderbilt game than he
 was in the Princeton game. Vanderbilt has been working on q defense for his
 kicking as well as for the regular liar yard attack.
 l As for the bunting, that will be whers 1 tho Commodores get in bad sure enough. I if Felton Is as good man as he is cracked up to be. There is not even l fair punter on the Commodore team. Curlin and Robins do well in practice, sometimes. But not even when they have all day do they get their boots off with anything like the regularity that should
 be attained by the punter of the Van derbilt team of 1912. Felton may gain considerable ground by his kicking and that very thing may be the factor to l change the tide of battle. However. If Curlin stands up as he did against Nir- ginia in the backfield, assister occasion ally by Captain Lewis Hardage, Wander bit may have the edge on Harvard in returning punts and thus make up for somo of the lost distance in the actual bunting.
 Finally there Is this to say: That. though Harvard is mechanically far bet ter than Vanderbilt, the Commodores will give them one of the liveliest young
 scraps they ever had and when 1t Is fn-
 ished the chances are that the Crimson l will not use Vanderbilt again to fill In for a rest game

New York, November S.-President Frank Farrell of the New York American league club. declared tonight that he had made offers to neither Frank Chance nor Harry Davis to manage the Highlandess next year.
 Chance is the property of the Chicago club and the National league, for which reason it would be 1 violation of baseball law to make a proposition of any kind to him." said MT. Farrell.
 Davis has not been here to talk with me about securing the mana cement. haven't seen or heard from him since he was here with the Cievelands last sum mer. He will not be considered. At the present time I have no idea who will be the new manager. I am not in a hurry to make A selection"

HARVARD FAVORED
 IN THE BETTING

Cambridge. Mass, November B. North and South will meet on the grid iron tomorrow when the Vanderbilt university eleven plays Harvard in the stadium, in the first athletic contest of any kind between the two universi- ties.
 Harvard was. the favorite tonight in what little betting took place, prin- cipally because of it's supposed SUI periorty in the game, and also because of the excess of IT pounds in weight per man.
 The southerners reached here today after 1900 mile Journey. Half an hour after their arrival they were in the stadium, running through their sig nals, catching punts and getting ac- customed to the lights of the big am phitheatre. Later the team went to Newton to spend the night.

TIARVARD'S OVER CONFIDENCE
 MAY AID VANDY'S CHANGES
Commodores Will Be Strong for the Fight of Their Lives Against the Crimson Today, While Harvard Team Ex poets an Easy Victory Mechanically Vandy is
 Weaker But May Spring Surprise
By WERNER II. JONES.

Nashville. Tenn. November 7.-(Specia1) When Vanderbilt, the pride of the south, and Harvard. near champions of the east. clash on Soldiers field Saturday afternoon, the Commodores will have this much in their favor if nothing else-they will be tuned up to high fighting pres sure, while the Crimson eleven will go into the game with an idea that they cannot even be worried by their oppon- onts. That is if reports from the east can believed. The difference in this mental attitude Is going to play a big part in the game which is a fact that few followers of football ever stop to realize. Furthermore, in all their real big games. the Commodore eleven always plays way above it's form on account of the wonderful effect which the pre-game talks of Coach MeGugln have on tho players.
 Expect Light Team
 Harvard is expecting in Vanderbilt q light team, which they will admit is fast and may know some football" yet they consider the Commodores a much easier proposition than the big Brown team F or thin reason Coach, Percy Houghton now intends 10 use a team composed for tho most part of substitutes. The Vanderbilt game is followed by clash with Dart mouth. and the Green Mountain boys are more than likely to give Harvard more trouble than the Green team did the Princeton Tiger.
 After that comes the annual scrap with Yale. Houghton is not going to take any chances on having Wendell hurt, and it Is just possible that the wonderful toe of Charlie Brickley may not flash for more than half the game Saturday. should all this really be the case. Vanderbilt is apt to get such a big jump on liar ward that even if the regulars are rushed in to stall off defeat, the change may come too late.
 Over Confidence Hurts
 No one has forgotten the fact that when Mississippi played here recently Vanderbilt to a man was overeonfdent The result was that none of the team played up to form and despite the eff forts of Hardage to drive them against the visitors. they simply refused to wake up and realize that they were up against team that really played football. The hig Harvard Is apt to go into the Wander hilt with the same foolish indifference and if they do, even Brickley's toe may not save them.
 Before every game of importance. Dan McGugin gets his players around him and what he says keys them up to a pitcn no other means could obtain. Right here Is shown the genius of the man. It is not so much the words themselves as

Unless dope goes very much awry some exceedingly fast and hard-fought gridiron struggles will be pulled off in contest which forces the elimination of any one of the three contenders for the S. I. A. A. championship title. two of these contenders will be forced to look well to their laurels to stall off a de- feat that will be fatal to their hopes.
 While the game of paramount inter est in the south today will be played north of the Mason and Dixon line when Vanderbilt takes ons the liar yard Crimson. there are others which will be fought on the southern grid irons which are attracting considera- ble interest from the lovers of foot ball.
 Sewanee and Tech
 Over in Atlanta the Sewanee Tigers tackle the bootball machine of Heis- mans Yellow Jackets. The Tigers are favorites to win, but the game should be good one. Coach Cope and his team reached Atlanta last night in ex- cellent condition for the contest. A shift in the lineup is said to have strengthened the Sewanee team. Captain
 
 lepsi in the backfeld Last season Georgia Tech won it's first football vic- tory from the mountain boys, and the Tennesseans are determined to wipe out the defeat today. Tech will be out weighed by several pounds, but their speed is expected to go far in sur mounting this difficulty. At any an gle the game should be interesting from quarter to quarter.
 Other Games Today Auburn should win from l.. $. U. in Mobile today. Comparative scores, however, predict close contest Au- burn defeated A. and M. to 0. A. and NJ. defeated Louisiana State to o, and their only touchdown came on luke that caused much dissension. l.. s. U. will outweigh the Tigers slightly, but lit is hardly possible that they will be able to snatch victory from the Or
 ange and Black.
 Tennessee should have little trouble in defeating Mercer They will proba- bly not be able to roll up large score against the Baptists, but there is lit- tie doubt but that they will come out | of the contest as victors.
 1 In New Orleans Tulane faces pretty
 much the same situation in playing A. and M that Auburn does in l.. S. U.-
 only the order Is exactly reversed. A.
 and M defated Alabama to O. Ala bama defeated Tulane ' to 0, and there | you are. Tulane has a better team this
 season than common. According to the lAlabamians who played them last sat- urday, Tulane has one of the strongest l lines that they have tackled this sea- son, and Alabama has bucked up against the heavy lines of A. and M and Georgia It seems that Tulane is in | for a beating, but they should give the Mississippians a close fight.
 In no case in the south today is a
 walk away looked for. The teams are exceptionally well matched both as to weight and comparative scores. Of course you can never tell, but the vic- l tors look-just look-at present like Auburn, Sewanee. Tennesseee and Mis- sissippi A. and M.
