Buddy Morgan, the giant center,

he will be worked more than half

a tendon in his back in the Rose

HARVARD
ATTACK WILL
WIN CAME
BY Paul Wilmington.
Former Harvard Football Starr
CAMBRIDGE. MASS. Nov. l.

n NAMDNlDIES, NIADS., INON. L.
With the Princeton Harvard
game but day off, the un-
dergraduates at Harvard have
caught the Tiger fever and are
eager for the great battle between
these fast teams Of the big four.
Crawling in between the arches
of the Stadium, the Tiger will
strike new places, see new things
and, above all, will be called upon
to meet a new attack. the onrush
of the Crimson eleven that has torn
every team up the back that has
faced It so far and bids fair, If the
predictions Of many coaches of big
elevens may be believed, to smash
the Orange and Black interference.
Those knowing ones who sat in
the Stadium or on the side lines at
the Brown Harvard game were
thrilled with the great feature of
the team play of the Crimson-its
interference.
Coach Roper's boys beat Dart
ker's around the end and through
the whole Green squad after Dart
mouth was beaten, was the only
real touchdown. Penalties and
olher misfortunes were principally
responsible. according to the Dart
mouth coach, for the three other
scores of the Tigers Princeton.
therefore, can not be judged by the
score of Dartmouths defeat
Harvards win over Brown was
directly the reverse. The Crimson
lost 1877 yards and was the offender
far oftener than Brown. Notwith-
standing the Providence boys were
trounced 80 to 10. a bigger score
than Princeton could roll up on
Dartmouth. 1t then remains for
Harvard to show up this typical
tiuke OF providential football of the
Orange and Black and finally dis
pei the idea that there is any great
Tiger team this year Take away
Baker, say Harvard men, and it
would have much the same effect
that the loss of Crowther would
make In the Brown team.
Remove Brickley from the Har-
ward backfield and what would
happen? Innumerable good men to
fill his place and a few with a right
foot TO rival even Brickley. The
Tigers are usually overestimated,
and this is another occasion, is the
feeling at Harvard
Coaches at Harvard say nothing
but the leading experts who have
seen Havard's attack. her drop
kicker. her interference and her
machine on the defensive are al
ready predicting a Harvard victory.

NASHVILLE. TENN. Nov

NASHVILLE. TENN, Nov. l.
v Vanderbilt went through it's
last scrinmage yesterday
afternoon. before the Virginia game
tomorrow. Circumstances sur
rounding the work were gloomy in
the extreme. In the mix-up with
the second team, McGugin was
afraid to sead in any of his regular
backs, on account of their injuries
although all of them are sorely in
need of some very hard work. Of
the four back field men, three are
in no shape for such a game as
tomorTow's promises to be. The in
valids are Collins, Hardage and
Skies.
During the scrimmage yesterday
afternoon, Shea, Turner and Nor
rison, three substitutes, were occu-
plying places in the back field
against the scrubs. Under the very
discouraging circumstances, the
showing of the varsity was good,
but McGugin is downcast over the
prospects for tomorrow. 1t is an
assured fact that Collins, Hardage
and Skies will not last the entire
game.
OF the % men on the varsity
squad. ten are on the sick or In
jured list, and DR.. Manner has been
so busy nursing the ailing that he
has had little time to assist Nc
Gugin in drilling the men. Cap
tain Hardage received such a Sc
we're jolt in the Mississippi game
last Saturday that he has been
hors du combat ever since. On the

Die BOOST FOR

By Louis Mann.
Greatest Actor Fan, Who Is Playing
at The Atlanta Thesterl


MET Billy Smith, the Crackers
new manager, at the worlds Sc
ries. and, believe me, he sure
looks like a real baseball leader.
He attended the games with Clark
Griffith, and the Washington man
ager. who is one Of my best friends,
told me that Smith knows more
baseball than many of the big
league managers.
Smith was pulling for the Red
SoX to beat the Giants, but [ made
him admit after that last game that
the New York team was the strong
er aggregation
Yes, the Giants should never
have lost a game. Man for man,
the McGraw outfit outclassed the
Bostonese, with the exception of
Speaker. Iris is grand player.
and he was the only one on the
Hub team who wasn't scared to
death all through the series
l hope the same teams play again
next year and if they do I'll bet
my entire bank account on the
Giants-and l guess Billy Smith
will, too.

leoted somewhat 1t was impossi-
Bile to have any practice of any
kind until yesterday. But today
the work will be as long and siren
uous as the falling shades Of night
will allow.
With the exception OF some
bruises, the team came through the
hard Mississippi battle In good
shape. | expect all the men will
be in shape for the game against
Tech. The offense against Missis-
sippi was not as good as against
Clemson, but the defense, though
loose at times, became very tight
when Auburn's goal was in danger,
and it was equally tight against
open and close football
With a little more practice and
when a few individuals will come
mp to the tackling standard of the
team, scoring on Auburn will be no
easy proposition. There is room for
considerable Improvement on the
offense, however, before Auburn
can hope to put up first class ex-
hibition against November teams.

and II is doubtful whether they will

it is likely that all of these men,
with one or two exceptions, win
take the field against Sewanee. they
can not be expected TO show at
their best
As regards the Sewanee team.
Georgia men are at a loss to UNI
derstand where the Tigers unearth-
ed her two new tackles. Moore and
Dobbins. The fact that both of these
first year men have been showing
so brilliantly has caused Georgia
supporters to look on these play
ers In an attitude Of suspicion.
While Georgia students and sup
porters do not for a minute intend
to reflect on the eligibility of any
Sewanee player. yet 1t must be adj
United that prep school players of
this Caiber are rarely ever seen in
this section. Then, too the COM
ing of such prep school stars is
usually heralded with much clam
or and the fact that there has been
nothing said in regard to the for
mer career of these players has led
Georgia men to inquire from whence
they came.
In the past two days Sewanee
stock has taken d boom here, and
most of the bets are being made at
even money, instead of odds on
Georgia as was the case at first.

Georgia and Sewanee thinks she
can put them under also, even if
she does not make as big score.
Sewanee's team is made up of
men who have come to college to
study. Every man can prove his
eligibility and has done so already.
Without a question, Sewanee is
composed Of men who are eligible.
They have eight $" men from last
years team. five last years Sc
vance Military academy men, two
last years subs and four new prep
men.
