West After Big Game With East
Gridiron Title Would Be at Stake

among whom was Mr. Camp-des
clined to have any part of this enter
prise. The thing went along FROM
season to season. and the clamor
against mass play caused certain
changes in the rules. Yost was never
able to adapt himself to the new
game, and when he finally arranged a
non championship game with Penn
sylvania his team was beaten.
Michigan and Penn have met a
number of times SINCE, and-relying
again on memory-the Eastern coll
lege has had much the best of it. Now
Wisconsin is very keen for it, and
this leads us to believe that Wiscon-
sin figures she will have whirlwind
eleven this fall. They use nearly as
much judgment as a White Hope in
Issuing challenges out there.
The chief objection among college
men to the proposal is that 1t smells
of commercialism. which is no objec-
ton to a worlds series as q general
thing. On the whole they are likely to
come to it by a different route.
Seems Bound to Come, But
In baseball the Worlds Series open
ed the gates for the player writer's In
football It Is the other way round. We
already have the player writer's with
US in a cloud that makes that biblical
swarm of locusts look like a few
stray notes in a sunbeam. The natu-
raj conclusion Is that worlds series
In football Ia bound to follow.
But not quite. Even now the
coaches and captains of the college
elevens are getting on a crouch at
player writers and there is nearly as
much CONSERVATION as there was
among some of our best athletes when
the National Commission announced
that 1t was about to dam the pure
stream OF literature. The alarm rests
on just as solid a foundation.

VANDY'' OUT To
BEAT MICHIGAN
ELEVEN TODAY
Coach McGugin Says Team Has
Best Chance in History to
Defeat Yost's Squad.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 20
" The Vanderbilt and Michigan
eevens took their final work.
outs yesterday afternoon in prepare
ton for the sixth meeting between
the two teams to- day. All of the pre-
Vious games have been won by Mich
igan
The Wolverines played a 30 minute
basket ball game in the Vanderbilt
gymnasium, engaged in a short signal
drill and finished their workout on
the campus in punting. The Commo-
dores ran signals in the gymnasium
after Michigan had finished, and
worked on forward pass formations
The two days steady rain has made
the field a sea of mud, and luck will
figure prominent part in to- days
game. Both Vanderbilt and Michi-
gan are in good shape, with the ex-
ception of Captain Brown, left end
for Vanderbilt, who is suffering with
a lame shoulder, but Will not be out
of the game.
Coach Yost refused TO predict the
outcome of the game, but stated that
the Wolverines were in much better
shape than when they were defeat ed
by the Michigan Aggies last Satur-
day.
Coach McGugin admitted that the
team which got the breaks Of the
game would win, but declared that he
felt that Vanderbilt had the best
chance OF her history to beat the
Michiganders, and appeared far more
confident than Yost

\" After several years al

u /
wv After several years abb
sence the agitation for a
championship struggle between the
gridiron lords of the East and West IS
on again. This time 1t fittingly comes
from Wisconsin, where. so far as our
well appointed memory goes, the same
movement started some time back.
The idea of these well meaning ag
itators is much the same as that
which stung the followers of the
American and National Leagues and
which finally resulted in the annual
fall nuisance known as the Worlds
Series, one of the most vital impulses
and influences of modern English lit
erature
There are six or seven big univer-
stiles in what is known as the West
ern Conference. They all play each
other, more or less, and the winner
holds the football championship belt
of the Mississippi Valley. In the Eas.
there are four or five that are always
in the hunt 10 a certain extent, and
along about the first of the year Mr..
Walter Camp always manages to IND
time to tell us which Is the cham
pionship team.
Would Be Worlds Champs.
The scheme is that the managers
Of these two clubs shall get together
and pull off a post season riot for the
championship Of the world. other
civilized nations having reached thai
stage in evolution where there is no
chance that any of their universities
would fall for American football, the
winner of this contest would hold the
title without a dissenting vote.
More than ten years ago Mr.. Hurry
Up Yost. the great Michigan coach,
announced in the public prints of Chi
cago and other outlying hamlets that
he thought II would be a great scheme
for tho East and the West to play
for the championship. At this time
Mr.. Yost had an ace in the hole-or,
more properly he had about eleven
aces In the hole. He had put together
one of the most destructive engines
that ever blotted out a rival college
gang
1t was at this time that he had no
halfbacks to speak of excepting Hes
ton and Herrenstein and a few guys
like that. Others Of the same kidney
were artistically strewn along the
rush line. Heston was so far the
greatest h2fback of his day--or prob
ably any day--that even Mr.. Camp
was constrained TO slip ii to him over
about LOO miles Of territory.
This was the team that Mr. Yost
wanted to lead into battle against the
best eleven In the East,

T TIP EAST somewhere. a lugubrious
scribe, who got in wrong on
the late Worlds Series, tries
to take it out in little rap at the
renowned Joseph Leslie Bush, who
wasn't at all renowned before he
came out and held the Giants safely
in the third game of the series.
The dope is that Mr.. Bush was
saved from becoming another Babe
Adams by the untoward fact that the
series didn't go far enough.
1t also appears that Mr.' Bush
looked lot better in the w S. than
he did against about seven other
clubs in his own league during the
run of the season.
TT falls out that Mr. Bush has been
knocked off the rubber at least
once by every club in the American
League except the Athletics, for
whom he was working
In fact, the Worlds Series Wonder
toiled exactly five full games for
Connie Mack, prior to the now his
toric occasion mentioned above.
Mr.. Bush went through without
change three times against the slug
ging Maps, once against the Tigers.
and once against the Browns. He lost
one game, against the Maps. and won
the rest.
T" HE less ausUicious occasions, when
he suffered the ignominy of re-
treat to the doleful creaking of the
derrick are rather in the majority.
The Maps made Mr.. Bush quit three
times So did the Yankees and the
Nationals He was chased twice by
the Red Sox, twice by the White SoX,
once by the Tigers, and once by the
Browns total OF fifteen occasions
when Connie Mack deemed discretion
the better part Of watching his youth
full phenom lodging base hits.
All of which has no active bearing
on the fact that when Mr.. Bush con-
fronted the Giants on a certain Octo-
her afternoon he was considerably
there.
w HIGH might call up this phase of
w the question of Vet VS.. Kid
pitchers in a Worlds Series.
We mentioned 1t. during the last
series. but maybe few additional
words won't hurt.
How long has it been since you
heard of rookie" falling down in
Worlds Series game?
Isn't it getting to he proverbial that
every Worlds Series has its kid
herO?"
Babe Adams made good in 1909
King Cole made good in 1910. No kid
pitcher was started in 1911, as Mar
guard, who was not exactly a hero,
had been with the Giants more than
three years at the time. Hugh Be
dent made wonderfully good in 1912
though Buck O'Brien fell down.
Bush came through in 1913.
w ELL. that's four to one. which is
w pretty fair ratio. If you want to
conccde that Demaree's downfall was
due to his own poor work which
would be a hard way to put 1.-THE
count still would be four to two, and
the percentage .667. which Is sufficient

kSHEVILLE, N. c., Oct. 25.-

Of the institution, has furnished the

and at one time threatened to dis
rupt the S. |. A. A. If the suspension
of the steller Tech player was made
permanent.

an amateur athlete.
Colonel Bingham's statement was
the result of to-day's conference in

Professor LeFevre Tells of Excel

a LBERT LIE F'EVRE, professor Of

be stamped out completely.

with our students during their eXami-

two or three students have been
caught Cheating, and we immediate
ly 'drummed' the guilty ones out Of

I'VE are now working this system
