MEMPHIS MAY GET
 GOLF TOURNAMENT

Chicago. October 1s.-The western open golf tournament for 1913 proba- bly, will be played at Memphis, accord ing to Secretary Charles E. Willard of the Western Golf association. Mir Will lard announced last night that he had received a letter from Gene Carnes. president of the Memphis club. asking for the meeting and requesting that the tournament take place between Octo- Der 15 and November 1. As there is never any great contest among clubs for staging the tournament the secre- tary believes 1t Is almost certain the southern city will get it. The club in the event 1t gets the tournament will stage a two-day event In advance of the championship, the first four ball match and the second two ball four some for amateurs.

SOUTHERN COLLEGES FACE
 WORTHY OPPONENTS TODAY
Gridiron Struggles Mark Beginning of Souths Big Games Vandy Meets Georgia, Auburn and Clemson Clash.
 Other Games

preparat ton for the Commodore contest Coach Cunningham considers it the most important as well as tine hardest game that his team faces this season, and from the early fall he has been priming his warriors for it. On the other hand, Van derbilt will face harder teams than the one that Georgia will show today, and consequently can't extend herself to the extent that the Georgia boys will to wir. The game should be a good one and will doubtless have an important effect upon the s. I, A. A. standing this season. ..
 Auburn Clemson
 Auburn takes on Clemson at Auburn. From the appearance that Clemson made in Birmingham against Howard some time ago, the Auburn lads shoudl not ex perience any great difficulty in taking their measure. However. Aubdrn's show ing against Florida last Saturday was not quite up to the expectations of the Orange and Blue Supporters. and it may be that an interesting battle will be pulled off at Auburn today.
 Tech Mercer
 The Georgia Tech-Mercer battle, which takes place in Macon today, may prove more interesting than usual The Mercer Baptjsts showed a good football machine in Birmingham last Saturday. despite the fact that they lacked team work and pol fish Techs victory over Alabama Sat urday indicates the fact that Heismans Yellow Jackets are going to make cred itable showing this season. Mercer will probably outweigh Tech and will have the advantage of playing on their home grounds, and while the Yellow Jackets are scheduled to win, no runaway is to be expected.
 Sewanee should experience little trouble with the University of Chattanooga squad as will Tennessee with the Mem phis Medics. Sewanee and Tennessee are both strong this season, although their real strength cannot be determined, as they have not yet tackled any aggrega- tions of average calibre.

With today's contests the so-called "bis games of the south are on. A few oi the colleges who are considered impor' tant factors in the southern gridiror world have already mixed things witt worthy opponents, but for the most pari the season thus far has been a period oi preparation and development. With the games today real tests are to be made of the strength of the various s. I. A. A squads.
 Probably the most important gridiror battle of the south today will be played in Atlanta when the commodores oi Nashville lock horns with the Red and Black of Georgia university. Considering the wonderful showing that the Wander bilt squad has made this season, they are naturally favorites to win. but in the University of Georgia they will probably meet an aggregation second to none which they will encounter in the south this season.

 It Is matter of regret that Mike" Murphy is not able to be with Penn this year, especially at this time, when his experience and assistance would be of such great value to us. Mr. Murphy is again confined to his bed at his home, and it is unlikely that he will be able to get around much with the teams before next spring. His loss to the football squad is the only real cloud which has appeared upon the football horizon this year. and his appearance at Franklin Field for a few days early in the season was a cause of great rejoicing among all Penn fol- lowers.

 Medill Mccormick of Chicago stirred up a sensation before the committe when he read a prepared statement touching upon the attempted assassination of Colonel Roosevelt, declaring it had been melted by falsehoods of character assassins and liars like Charles D. Hilles.
 "It is difficult for an ordinary man in the compass of ordinary language O compete with the testimony ot character assassns and liars like Charles D. Hilles and other men who by falsehoods actuate weak minded men to become assassins,' was the quotation from the witness and which brought out a storm of protest from the investigators and the chairman. The statement was finally expunged from the record. The reference to the attempt upon Colonel Roosevelts~ life was incidental to MT. Mccormick s general statement of campaign ex- penses of the progressive party in Illinois. The witness statement Aowed that he had contributed about S2s,500 for the Illinois campaign.
 During the whole campaign the Taft people assiduously circulated the lie that I am connected with the har- vester trust" Mccormick said. 'I have never owned and do not own share of harvester stock"
 Mccormick testified that Cyrus Me- Cormick contributed to the Wilson campaign fund Harold Mccormick with Cyrus Mccormick and the two Deering brothers represent overwheln- ingly the largest stock interest in the harvester company. Both of these Me Cormicks, one of whom is at the head of the trust are announced for Will son Both the Deerings are opposed to Colonel Roosevelt.
 q believe one of themn' said witness. lis for Mir Taft. Yet MT Hilles and his associates persistently circulate the lie that the harvester trust has spent large sums in the Roosevelt campaign. Besides these holdings of the Deerings and the Mccormicks, Mir. Perkins holdings are so small as to be negligible Counsel for the trust is for MT. Taft. I demand the directors of the harvester trust be called before this committee to testify as to what candidates they are supporting. I demand that Mir Hilles be recalled to appraise the mon etary. value of the North Carolina post masterships held up by President Taft. Governor Wilson has said that the steel trust is back of Colonel Roosevelts candidacy. l demand that the governor give evidence as to the truth of this charge and that this committee sum mon the directors of the Steel corpor ation to inquire as 10 what candidate trey are supporting"
 Witness Mccormick denied that the Steel corporation was supporting Col onel Roosevelt.

Philadelphia, October 1S.-(Special)-The defeat that Swarthmore handed to old Penn last Saturday was a sad blow to the losers. The Red and Blue had been going at a championship gait and the students and alumni are most enthusiastic in their support of the team.
 As things stand now, Pennsylvania is not despairing, and she still expects her team to be victorious in it's remaining games. The game was lost simply be- cause Swarthmore was more fully devel- oped than Penn. It is one of the difflcui- ties which attaches, when big univer- sity meets a strong, we'll coached team with unusually brilliant stars upon it, early in the season.
 / Swarthmore had much greater va- riety of plays than Pennsylvania, and their men were trained to the minute. The absence of "Tacks'' Harrington from his position at right halfback probably had much to do with the loss of the game. Harrington was substituted after Swarthmore had scored her touchdown, but although he greatly strengthened Penn's lineup, he was unable to take his turn at running with the ball.
 Blunders Responsible
 Two unfortunate blunders were also directly responsible for the defeat A muffed forward pass, beautifully deliv- cred by Minds to Juordette, while the latter was crossing the goal line, cost Penn score, while an error in judgment on which the end was tried, when the signal called, for line plunge, robbed Penn of another probable score.
 Submaterial Scarce
 The most glaring weakness which was revealed on Saturday is one which the coaches have realized for some time-the second string men do not compare with the regulars With a substitute who sized up to Harrington to put in right halfback, the result of the game would have been different. Dillon was forced to play during the entire game with an in jured ankle, simply because there was not a competent substitute for him. Grif- filth, who started the game at right guard, failed to show the strength that the coaches had observed in him in prac- tice.
 An urgent call for big men has been issued. Sturdy guards and tackles were never so much irN demand as they are now. One big fellow who will report is Bloom, who played tackle on last years scrub, and substitute center on the bas- ketball team. He weighs about 1S5 pounds and is very fast, and hard, conscientious player.
 Call Upon Alumni
 Robeson Lea Perot, graduate manager. has written to over 100 football stars of old Penn, inviting them to attend the coach's meetings, and to give their as- sistance upon the field in helping to round this years team up into better shape. This letter has brought most gratifying resnonse and many more old varsity men

JOE MANDOT AFTER
 WOLGAST'S SCALP

New Orleans, October 1S.-tSpecial) When Ad wolgast and Joe Mandot meet in the squared circle on Novem- Der 4, the south will have the most slsillful and hardhitting lightweight it ever produced contending for the worlds championship with an excel lent chance of winning the crown.
 Dominick ]. .Tortorich, under whose careful guidance the boxing game has resumed a place at the head of clean and popular sport in the Crescent City, has made possible the Wolgast- -Mandot contest which will be 10 round af- fair held at the $1O0,OoO plant of the local Southern League Baseball club. Mir Tortorich has provided more high class Queensbury battles at the Or leans A. c. and the Westside A. C. than all of his predecessors combined, and realizes that nothing smaller than q ball park would accommodate the fans on November 4, when the biggest bat tie he ever promoted is fought.
 Lightweights Popular
 Lightwelghts are intensely popular here, and in Joe Mandot, New orleans possesses a boxer without a peer un- less 1t be Champion Wolgast, and critics of wide repute agree that he Is Wolgasts most dangerous rival.
 The 21-year-old whirlwind has made good not only at home but In Memphis, St Louis, Indianapolis and Los Angeles. Thousands of dollars will be wagercd
 
 they meet.
 Big Crowd Expected
 A great crowd will see the Wolgast- Mandot fight. one which will put Into the shade the immense crowds that saw the Hall -Fitzsimmons and the Sul- liyan- -Corbett contests here in the old days. New Orleans will be the mecca of sporting men from all over the country. Excursions will be run on all railroads from nearby cities and ested because Mandot was born and raised right here and is undoubtedly the south's best as a coming world s champion boxer.
 People from all parts of Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama and other south ern states willeattend, and delegations are expected ffom New York, Chicago and other points.
 Mandot Has Chance
 That 1t will be a whirlwind go seems certain. The contest will be limited to 10 rounds and the rivals will mix at top speed if their past battles may be taken as a criterion. Mandot will have far more to gain than Wolgast, while the latter will have everything to lose.
 Wolgast turned down some prlncely
