When she was IN ner early teens,

duced a volume of poems which is
probably the most remarkable ex-
ample of children's writing ever pro-

a very brilliant future. But, as too
often happens with child prodigies,
little Dora, either because she didn't
want to, or because she couldn't,
didn't rise to the occasion and she

TLASS is beginning to tell in the
games between the Southern
college teams, and 1t is becom-
ing more and more clear as the days
go by that the supremacy which most
of the best teams have enjoyed for
the past three or four years is to be
maintained in 1918.
While Mississippi A. & NJ. is hard
ly as strong this year as it has been
for the preceding four or five seasons
yet ! venture to say not even Auburn
Itself was prepared for the splendid
victory OF "a to 0 that It's team rolled
up against A. & NJ The Auburnites
seemed to strike their stride from the
very beginning OF the season, and
have thus far gone along without a
hitch or a skip. Right now l ven
ture to suggest that the Orange and
Blue squad Is the smoothest working
machine in Dixie, and if 1t keeps on at
its present gait 1t is going to be, as
| thought from the first, the team 10
haul down the bunting.
VERY early in the season | hintei
that Auburn might prove an even
more formidable contender for cham
pionship honors than the Commo-
dores which statement was consil-
cred quite extravagant at the time;
but recent events begin to bear me
out. To be sure, we all expected
Michigan would defeat Vanderbilt , 1t
we were hardly prepared for the score
that came over the wires.
McGugin has a wonderful quartet
OF players in the two Browns, Morgan
and Skies but that let's the Vanderbilt
team out for this year, and no eleven
can raise so very much of a fuss with
only four good men out of eleven on
the team.
Tech has already found out tho
same thing-that one or even a cou-
pie of swallows don't make a sum-
mer, and to me II is, and has been, no
secret that the new material at Van
derblt this year has not been on a
par with what they have secured IN
the past. Had Cody been eligible, ii
would have made considerable differ
ence.
However, l still believe that Van
derbilt is going to show a world Of
fight and take a lot OF pummeling be-
fore any team in the South viii make
II knuckle under. ! do not believe
that the score of SO to . against IT
adequately represents the day-in-
and day out strength OF the Com
modores. Michigan was smarting I'M
der the sting Of that defeat one week
before at the hands of the Michigan
Aggies, while that same game gave
Vanderbilt n little too much hope
These things cut wide swath.
EVERYBODY tells how very simple
II was the style of play exhibited py
Virginia against Georgia last Satur
day Had they no other system Of
play than the one they here showed :?
It's hard to say, but 1t does look as
though they would have sprung it IL
they had, for 1t appears that the Red
and Black crowded them to the utter
most not only in the first quarter or
half but almost throughout the entire
contest, It's all well enough to save
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-31

OF course, the Tech game was their
big game of the season, and they
made the most of it. But if anybody
thinks the Floridians are hopelessly
outclassed in football they had best go
down and take a side glance at that
bunch OF wildcats.
VET for all these explanations Tech
played Disappointment Their
work was not up TO standard True,
the men regarded the trip more or less
in the light of a holiday excursion,
but they came to their senses quickly
enough before the first quarter was
over; and yet they had about as much
difficulty putting the Florida boys
away in the last quarter as they had
in the first.
It all goes to show once more what
has so often been said before-that
no matter how PROMISING mate
rial may be, 1t takes a year or two
for football promise to develop into
something like a performance. The
Florida game was a good thing for
Tech, as 1t was stiff enoufih to teach
IT, a lot of football, yet resulted in no
bad injuries. Referee Penton and UNI
pire Woodruff, both of whom had seen
the Florida team in their game
against Auburn, declared that never
had they seen a. team improve so
much in three weeks as had the lads

Boehling Is Best Of Youngsters
Great Future for Griff's Find
BY j. W. M'Conaughv.

n TRAVELLING salesman, some
n what Of a kidder in a quiet
way, had business in Richmond
this past summer. Leaving the sta
lion, he asked several persons where
the Confederate Capitol was located.
and where was the house In which
Joe Boehling lived. Nine OF the ten
persons questioned knew all about the
home Of Boehling, and but one knew
where the site OF the one-t time Can
itol was-and to make things even ex-
planned that he did not know Boeh-
ing, that the town was getting too
full of strangers
The Boehling asked about was the
young man who made baseball his
tory with the Washington American
League team the past season. He is
a pitcher, a very sensational one for
a veritable kid, and his fame has
spread all over the country In one
year. OF course, at his home town,
Richmond. he had gained little
fame before he got out of the semi
pro ranks, but II was with the SEN
ators in 1913 that he really achieved
fame.
Came Close to Record.
In the last season Boehling won
i
at one time just missed making n
record for the year, when he fell down
after capturing eleven straight games.
Husky Gus Williams, of the St LOUIS
Browns, put the kibosh on the rec
ord when he lifted one OF Boehling's
fast straight ones into deep right in
the first inning of the st. Louis
Washington game, July 2S, for a
home run, which chased Shotten and
Pratt in ahead. This killed all
chance of getting a mark for the sea
son, for the Senators were never able
to overcome the lead that homer gave
the lowly st. Louis team.
Boehling Is but 21 years Of age.
He weighs $50 pounds and losses EN-
from the port side.
He began playing ball on the lots
in Richmond and was discovered" by
Bill Peet. a Washington scribe, when
he pitched for a Richmond team
called the Rattle Axes against a
Washington nine.
Peet told Clark Griffith OF his find
and the manager of the Senators
looked him over. This was two years
ago.
Was Sent to Lookouts.
The following spring Griffith signed
the youngster, but he didn't show
very much at the start and was sent
10 Chattanooga for seasoning. With
Chattanooga he won two games and
lost four, and was then chased back
to Washington, Then Griffith loan

Better Arrangement
For Seats Hereafter
At Jacket Battles

The Tech authorities have arranged
a reserved seat proposition for the
Tech SeWanee game at Grant Field
tomorrow afternoon, and will follow
1t up for the other games this season
as they are confident that the foot
ball fans will find the arrangement
satisfactory.
One dollar general admission will
entltle the purchaser to a seat in the
wooden stands on the east side of the
field or standing room along any of
the outside side lines.
The reserved seats will be rs cents
and 90 cents extra, the first few rows
in the concrete stands being 80 cents
and those back % cents. Each seat
will have coupon and there will be
ushers to seat the people
Every person buying a reserved seat
at the Tech game for the remainder
this season will be assured of his seat.
He can purchase his reserved seat and
SHOW up at the game at any time that
he is mind to, just as he would at
a theater, and he will be certain of
getting the seat that he purchased.
The grandstand has been rearranged
and blocked off and all the seats num-
bered. The general admission and re-
served seat tickets can be purchased
at Tumlin Bros

up for another and later foe, but when
you're about to be licked right now
you generally attend to the thing at
hand and let the later affair take care
of itself.
Any way you look at It. though,
Georgia did exceptionally we'll, and It
looks now as though it were going
to give Auburn about as stiff a fight
as will Vanderbilt. 1t Is pity Geor-
gia plays neither Sewanee nor Van
derbilt this year, and a pity that Au-
burn does not meet Sewanee These
would all make Jim dandy games
That McWhorter's long runs in the
past have not been mere accidents
as some would have US believe-that
young man amply demonstrated
against the Virginians. When he's
feeling right and his team is playing
ball, he can and does get away from
the very best of them. In the past
we may have thought there must
have been something decidedly off
color in the tackling of the South
ern teams of this section that they
have been quite unable to put Boz
down for keeps, but when as big and
fine and experienced a team as that
OF virginia also comes down here and
fails to flop this remarkable young
man we are forced to the belief that
the fault is not in ourselves dear
Brutus. but in the stoclly Athenian.
Asst year Tech went down to Jack
sonville the last Saturday in
october, and had a hard game
with Florida. This year they
went down again on the same
relative Saturday, and they had an
other hard fight and won again by
none too safe a margin. Some seven
teen players were carried on the trip.
and of these an even twelve did not
make the trip one year ago. What
does that show? 1t merely shows how
many OF the men are new to the Tech
varsity; In fact, ii is a new team.
| WANT to say here for Florida that
1 they played about as fast, fierce
and real football as a team of it's
weight can play. They will weigh a
shade over 160, they are fast on their
feet, they have real good interior
ence, their backs plunge and run ends
with equal confidence and power. and
they bore in on their tackling in
way that is not easily to be surpassed.
