SCOTT CHESTNUT
 HIGHLY COMMENDED

Scott Chestnut, resident of Bir- mingham and former Southeastern league umpire, made mighty good with the Carolina association. in which league he worked the latter half of the past season. In letter to President Kavanaugh, Secretary T. W. Todd ofthe Carolina association, speaks very favor ably of Chestnutt's work, saying that he is considerably far above the average of that association. He says:
 Early in August President Wearn wired you to recommend to him an um- pire to finish the season. You kindly gave him the address of MT. Scott Chestnut of Birmingham, Ala. who re- ported to us on August 8, and in ad- dition to thanking you for your help, thought you would be interested to know how MT. Chestnutt's work inn pressed us.
 ''It gives us pleasure to say that MT. Chestnut appeared to give splendid satisfaction to both players and spec tators, especially to the latter. who were much pleased with the peppery way in which he kept the game going, without offensiveness to players.
 The writer saw his work in about half dozen games, and considered 1t very good, and considerably above the average of the umpires that this asso- citation has been able to obtain"

Purdue Beaten

Chicago. October 26.-Football players at the University of Chicago made further strides tdward the "big nine' cham pionship today by beating Perdue univer- sity. : to o. on Marshall Field. The score. however. was the smallest regis tered by Chicago against Perdue in Il years.
 Pierce bucked through the visitors line for the only touchdown of the game 10 minutes after the battle started. The rest of the contest consisted of bunting and alternate clashes of brilliant straight football.
 The only time Perdue threatened to score was in the final period when the ball was advanced to within six yards of Chicago's goal. Time was called, end- ing the game before the visitors could score touchdown.

VANDY |SSURPR|SED
 BY MISSISSIPPI IN
 WELL FOUGHT CAME

Nashville, October 26.-(Special.)- J. Mississippi put up by far the best op- position to Vanderbilt so far this sea- son. holding the Commodores to three touchdowns and field goal, the SCOT ing being distributed through the four quarters. Fletcher starred for Missis- sippi, at quarter, while Shea and Har- dage did the best offensive work for the Commodores. Collins sprained his ankle badly in the opening kickoff and had to be led from the field. Morgan and Sikes were also missing from the Com modore lineup.
 Curlin executed drop kick in the first quarter. Vanderbilt's last touch down was the result of a beautiful for ward pass Hardage to Reams. Van- derbilts fumbling was awful, the ball being lost four times on juggles within Mississippi's 10-yard line, twice on T. yard line. Both teams were heavily penalized, Mississippi for 45 yards and Vanderbilt for 120.

MANY OLD STARS PRESENT
 AT A. AND M.-AUBURN CONTEST

On the side lines during yesterdays contest between Auburn and Mississippi were a number of former southern grid iron stars who were interested spectators of the conflict.
 Among these were "Chc' Hannon, for mer University of Alabama star quarter back, and now coach of the Anniston Preds. Hannon had buried the hatchet which he invariably carried for Auburn during his days at college, and was at the game with Auburn colors. Tom Sims. at one time one of the greatest tackles in the south; Wash Moody, great cen ter of former days; Gresham, a well known tackle of recent years, and Der rel Pratt, perhaps the greatest kicker that the south ever produced-all old

University of Alabama men-were spec tators at the game.
 Phil Laey Auburns great ground gain CT of some seasons past; Bin Stret. Dan Martin and Jerry Gwin were among the other former stars of Auburn present whose names have made football history on the southern gridiron.
 Dr. Elgin, formerly a star performer with the Vanderbilt Commodores and Ed Tutwiler, considered the greatest quar- terback that Virginia university ever .had, were both spectators.
 And among the latter day stars whose fame on the gridiron is still sung by enthusiasts, were George Watkins and "Chigger" Brown, two of Sewanee's s greatest performers.
 Hugo Friedman, graduate manager of the Alabama team, was another interested spectator.

Spanier is an "old timer at the race course, having acted in the capa- city of clerk for some thirty years. He Is a well known race horse man in the south, and is especially remembered in Birmingham, where he has had charge as clerk during practically all of the important races held here.
 Spanier. in letter to The Age Herald says that Montgomery people are won cering why Birmingham failed to pro- gramme a list of races during the re- cent fair here. According to Spanier, the races ut Montgomery were excep- tionally good. and were enthusiastical- ly attended.

Georgians Outweighed, But Surprised Opponents With
 Line Smashing

Jacksonville. Fla. october 26.-(Spe cial 1.-The lighter Teeh team defeated the University of FloAda here today by the score of II to 6, surprising every one by using principally old fasNioned foot ball in her attack. Their smashing into the line was vicious for such light team and the Fldn1dians were unable to stop them.
 Florida's lone score. which came in the third quarter, was the result of Q forward pass >over the goal line. Tech varied it's line smashing with a wide shifting end run that was very effective.

Washington. October 2s.-Carlisle h. dians defeated Georgetown at football today. s4 to ao Outplayed in the first two periods during which the Indians scored all their points, Georgetown strengthened in the second half and played an uphill game. During the last two periods Georgetown frequently had the ball dangerously near Carlisles goal only to lose by fumbling.

as that of Major. For that reason, and because the Auburn backs were able to make more successful returns, he was out pointed in bunting by his oposing marks men.
 The Teams Compared
 There was no material difference in the strength of the teams. It would be diff ficult to state which aggregation was tho heavier. Neither fought with fiery spirit, and both seemed glad when the scriu- mage was concluded.
 Mississippi. barring the run of Newell, gained more consistently than Auburn. both through the line and around the ends Neither surpassed the other in trick plays. Auburn had the advantage in bunting.
 Those on the side line judged that but for a fiuke run neither team could nave scored. this due to the fact that Misss sippi could not gain enough ground to cross goal line. and because Auburn's apparent lack of speed made it's greater success impossible.
 If in either department there was diff ference of strength, 1t might be added that Auburn was better on the defensive, better in that it was invariably able to check the Mississsppians when it's goal became endangered, and Mississippi was superior on the offensive.
 eatureS or Game
 The chief feature of the scrimmage was the 75 yard run of Newell It occurred in the first quarter, and probably averted the defeat of Auburn.
 The second most brilliant play was Mis- sissppi's defense on it's eight yard line in the second half when Auburn recovered punt which Williams fumbled and dropped. The Mississippians settled to their task and Auburn did not score.
 In the third quarter, Mississippi threw a scare into the Auburn camp when 1t car ried the ball from the center of the field to Auburn's 15 yard line, there to lose it on a forward pass and a tumble. This loss was followed by a brilliant run of 20 yards on the part of Arnold of Auburn, who carried the oval out of danger
 In the fourth quarter Mississippi again assumed the aggressive and fought the ball to Auburn's 10 yard line. There a tumble gave the ball to Au- burn, and Major drove 1t out of danger Again the Mississippians rushed 1t to Aub urn's inner circle, and there In rapid succession attempted forward passes only one of which was successful-and that for no material gain.
 Surroundings Were Ideal
 The sky was clear and though breeze did blow gently throughout the afternoon, the weather was perhaps too warm to please those who were doing the struggling. Those on the bleachers and sidelines, however. rejoiced in that the blast was off duty and overcoats were unnecessary.
 The attendance was excellent, 1t be- ing estimated that fully 2000 people witnessed the sport. Those who saw the battle were dyed-in- -the-wool foot ball fans, of that peculiar variety which yells continually, calls earnestly on the players of its team to show their prowess, and jeers the players of the opposing aggregation.
 As usual, the people pressed upon the field much to the disgust of those who were unable to press.

 Wise coaches develop their teams grad ually, in other words endeavor to have them in their ripest form for certain special games. In this regard both Au- burn and Sewanee have the advantage of Vanderbilt. The commodores are look ing toward the Harvard game. McGugin is putting his men through the paces with the object in view of having them in their truest condition when he, as representative of the great south, goes east to do battle against the represen- tative of the ''big four" After that game the reaction will set in and the Commo- dores when they meet Auburn and Se- vance will not be in as fit condition as when they encountered Harvard
 Auburn on the other hand, is labor Ing in the development of its team with a single object-the defeat of Vanderbilt. Donahue will be satisfied to defeat all competitors prior to the big game by only small margins. He will not run the risk of a too rapid development or serious injury to either of his star performers by attempting to pile up enormous scores. Obviously this plan is correct and 1t is being followed assidious- ly by Cope in regard to his Sewanee lads.
 Despite these facts the odds certainly favor the Commodores to trim their ev- cry southern opponent. Auburn will probably be beaten by margin of 15 points and Sewanee should be able to hold its bitterest rival to marginal difference no more pronounced. The Commodores furthermore should give Harvard a strenuous struggle before

Ii might be ridiculous to hope for the south erners victory. but there can be no ques- ton to the prediction that Harvard will have one of the keenest tusses of it's career and it would cause little sur prise were the game to end with the score practically balanced. Harvard will hardly defeat Vanderbilt more conclu- sively than Vanderbilt will defeat Au- burn or Sewanee, and certainly will not dispose of the southerners with the ease that the McGugin machine disposed of the Georgians yesterday one week.
 Vanderbilt apparently, has been able to master the new game quicker and more perfectly than any other team of the southern association. For that req son one cannot with any degree of ac- euracy, arrive at conclusion as to which aggregation should be ranked at the present time as runner-up of the association. Auburn Is good. Sewanee is good. And Georgia, despite its horrible defeat al the hands of Vanderbilt, will yet show form. In Birmingham the odds are even, as matter of fact, that Geor- gia holds Auburn to a small score if not to a negative victory.
 The Agricultural and Mechanical col lege of Mississippi is formidable and there are those who still have hope in Alabama, despite the fact that its de- feats to date following roseate reports concerning the passage of the thin red line," have fallen on It's supporters with a chill of disappointment which has sunk to the marrow.

Roosevelt So characterizes Action of
 Ohio Convention.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 4-"Pure po- litical brigandage," said Colonel Roose- welt tonight of the capture of Ohios six delegates at large to the Fepubli- can national convention by supporters of President Taft. He said it was a fresh and conclusive proof that Mr. Taft and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people.
 Colonel Roosevelt spent the day in New York where he conferred with a number of his supporters. Senator Dixon, his campaign manager, stopped to see him on his way to Chicago.
 The colonel prepared his statement with unusual care.
 This is no time for excited utter- ances," he said, as he gave it out. He added that in whatever he had to say he was careful to be on the safe side. and preferred to under estimate facts and conditions in order to be con- servative.
 This is his statement:
 The plain people of the republican party of Ohio have just held a state wide primary in which they repudiated MT, Taft by over 30,000 majority.
 The politicians by adroit manipu- latlons. have succeeded in giving MT. Taft the six delegates -at-large, in frank and cynical defiance of the em- phatic action of the people themselves, This is of course pure political brigan- dage. In this fight l have from be- ginning to end sought to give the peo- pie the right to say whom they wanted to have as president and have not merely by word but action made it evident that l did not wish the nom ination unless the majority of the rank and file of the republican party wished me to have it.
 This action in Ohio is merely a fresh and conclusive proof that MT Tart and his advisers care nothing for the will of the people and are eager to get the nomination without any refer ence to the methods by which it is se- cured, without any reference to Wheth- CT or not delegates represent the people whom they are supposed to represent It is a crowning illustration of MT Tafts theory of government of the people by representative part of the people"
 Colonel Roosevelt has not made TIT his mind whether he will go to tho Chicago convention and he is makins preparations to bring the seat of wal as close as possible if he chooses tC remain at Sagamore Hill. Workmer began today the erection of teleerapF wires from the village of Oyster Bay tt the eeloners home, three miles dis. tant One room of the spacious hous, is to be fitted up with keys and sound CTS, and with the aid of a corps O telegraPhers manning direct wireI from Sagamore Hill to the Reoseyel headauarters in Chicago Colene Roosevelt will be able to fellow tht contest step by step and give his di rections in minute detail. Should tn colonel so to the convention the wire | will be used to bring news from tn, l front 10 the members of the Reosevel l household who remain at home.
