NO
MATCH FOR
ED HAGEN

II some one had told Frank
Koepkey a few nights ago that he
was a world beater and some day
would be destined to wear the
crown formerly In the possession
of John l.. and a few other satel-
Iites of the prize ring
He would have believed 1t.
Approach the same youngster
this morning and in the role of
the prophet lay before him brill
liant future in ring circles and
you'll probably get what he tried
to give Ed Hagen, Seattle cop,
last night at the Eagles smoker.
Those who were present are IA
miliar with the brief proceedings
in the ring. Koep1ey was touted
as a conner with punch. Hagen
carried a rep a mile long, and a
kick that carried the force of a
"billie."
The two met. No time was
wasted. Koepkey bored in and
bored out. Hagen landed telling
blows. Thirty seconds after the
first round started he whipped out
a vicious right swing that caught
Koepkey in the stomach and an
other that looked Ike right up
percut and Koepkey went down
and stayed down. 1t was very
short encounter and proved that
Koepkey is only novice at the
game, while Hagen, unscientific,
displayed more knowledge with
the mitts.
Charley .Givens and Chett Neff
in the semi-windup essayed to do
little parlor boxing in their four
round session. Their alleged ex-
hibition of boxing should be suf-
ficient reason for banning both
from local smokers.
Roscoe Taylor went four fast
rounds with Harry Bishop and
won the decision. Bishop was I'M
able to land his favorite right hay
maher but nevertheless made a
fine showing against the clever
Taylor.
young" Baker, a substitute in
the Musson match for Pat Hunt,
proved that he could fight some.
He buffeted Musson around the
ring for four rounds and several
times had him near dreamland.
He deserved the decision given
him by Referee Shock.
Art Yordy, former Tacoma boy,
won his match from Augie Chris
tie, the South Tacoma middle
weight, in the first round. Chris
tie was unable to continue.
Joe Henessy and Kid Williams
of San Francisco ami Chicago, re-
spectively, put up slashing bout
for three rounds when Hennessy
won by knockout. This bout was
an added attraction and proved
an interesting one.
The Eagles are planning on
holding another smoker April II
at Eagles hall.

BLOSSOMS

Cy Neighbors is there with the
strong arm again. Kurfuss punk
ed hit into right the other day
and Cyrus Cecil threw him out
at the first bag.
Harris and Fishcher are two
outfield recruits that will bear
watching. Each of them appears
to be fast, good hitter, and with
marxed ability for grabbing long
high ones.
Joe McGinnity is proud of the
fact that he has no boozers on the
team. That's right. Bill Yohe
and Ode Abbott are not playing
here now.
Speaking of Abbott, he seems
to have been showed out of a posi-
tlon in left field for the Oaks,

good to waste.

~ Young, the Atlanta "newsboy,"
got his revenge over Charlie
Lee here last night when he won
over the Knockout route in eight
rounds. The referee stopped the IN
even match when Young fioored Lee
twice in the eighth session.
In the other ten-round bout of the
night Frank Baker of Philadelphia,
outpointed Jack Payne, of Chicago,
in a rafting scrap. The boys fought
every minute of the time. 1t was a
no-decision bout.
Young's great showing was the sur
prise of the night. Lee appeared be-
wildered by the Kids" cleverness and
was an easy target for a straight left
and right cross, Young 1oored Lee
the first time in the eighth session
with a dandy left hook. Charlie got
up at the count of five with Young
on top of him A right cross knocked
Lee against the ropes, where he
tumbled to the canvas, the referee
stopping the fight Young put up a
wonderful battle, leaving the ring
without mark
The Baker Payne scrap was one of
the fastest ever staged here. Bakers
cleverness earned him the shade.
Payne appeared willing at all times,
but was unable to land any effective
wallops. 1t was a dandy bout.

By Heisnnan.

y OMETHING like 3S,451 fans
have asked me during the past
few days whether Tech was
just taking things easy in their game
against Florida and thus trying to
fool Sewanee, or whether the team
was really doing it's best against the
Gators; and If the latter, how l ex-
plain the surprising reversal of play
ing form shown by the Yellow jack
cts.
Yes, frankly, Tech was doing her
best-on that day and under the con-
ditions What the conditions were
that really count in a case of this
sort is something it would be diff
cult for any one not more or less of
a football expert to comprehend.
Suffice ii to say that Conditions" had
radically changed in the one week
that lay between the Florida and the
SeWanee games, insofar, at least, as
they were at all related to the play
ing of the Tech team.
MANY are wondering whether Sc
4N1 vance had not been greatly
overrated team up to last Saturday;
and by the same token they are mar
yelling whether Tech had not been
greatly .unQeTeSlllldLeu LII OliCA
words, they presume that one or the
other of these two answers must be
the explanation of Techs impressive
victory For my part | believe
neither.
It is true enough that Tech played
rather better ball last Saturday than
she has played any previous day this
fall; but then it was time she should
do so. The team has been brought
along more slowly this year than
usual and with so many men new to
the Varsity system it took time to
teach them how to work the stuff to
advantage Besides this the team
has not been keyed up" for any pre-
vious game and it probably did not
know it's own latent power and pos
sibilities. To this extent it has prob
ably been somewhat moderated up to
last Saturday.
On the other hand, Sewanee was
not at her best. The team had just
had a long and demoralizing railroad
Journey to Texas; they had heard lit
tie of the Tech team Of a disquieting
nature they had been told that Tech
was Indifferent to football this fall
and showing no great college spirit
and they came down to Atlanta prob

GRANT FIELD
CLOSED TOALL
VISITORS NOW
Even Scrubs Can't Watch Fina
Signal Practice of Jackets
for Auburn Game.

= STRICTLY secret practice is the
y order of the day at Grant Field
until after the Georgia game,
no one being admitted on the field
but the manager and water boy. The
scrubs are hardly allowed to watch
signal practice for fear some of the
wizards" valuable trick plays will
get out.
Both Heisman land Devore are
working day and night on new for
nations tand passes, and If they make
rs much Improvement in the team
this week as last, the Auburn eleven
mad better get on the job or they are
IN a fair way to be stung by the
hard-flghting Yellow Jackets.
The coach is putting much stress
on new passes, as he seems TO, have
some very accurate passers and good
receivers this year They have met
with great success with passes e.
far; therefore, he deems it wise to
work harder on this feature of the
play.
Nance, the giant tackle, is back in
the game again, and is playing hard,
as usual. Johnson's shoulder is heal
ing slowly and it is doubtful if he will
be in shape for the Georgia game
Saturday week Beard, who is ALL
ing his place, is playing a jam-up
defensive game, but is hardly as val
liable as Johnson on offensive.
The student body is becoming more
enthused since the victory over Sc
vance, and a mass meeting will be
held Friday morning at 11:45 O'CLOCK
for the purpose of putting more spirit
into the students and to let each OF
the players tell the student body how

IMPOSSIBLE To
TURN OUT TITLE
ELEVEN -YOST
Famous Coach BIames Present
Conditions Of Eligibility for
Michigan Teams Poor Work,

a mn ARBOR, MICH, Nov. S.
~ Fielding H. Yost believes that
it is all but impossible to turn
out real championship eleven at
Michigan under the present condi-
tons of eligibility and schedule re-
strictions, The Michigan wizard in
an interview here declared that ma
terial could not be brought out, and
that the short schedule did not allow
man to learn the game before he
left college or was barred from the
team.
They are such that not over 25 per
cent Of the student body is eligible
or has time for practice | have fire.
quently had just eleven available men
on the field, where, If one had been
injured, l couldn't have put forward
the necessary eleven.
Here's another thing. The aver
age experience to the men upon an
eleven Is ten games in the three years
Of play Figure that out. An aver
age of ten games in a college course
and just at the time he is beginning
to learn something he is through col
lege. A football player needs this
experience Of hard games and with
out it can never reach any eXcep
tional worth"
THE football problem that is worry
ing the East, Yale's future on the
gridiron, does not look serious to Yost
The fact that Yale handled punts
badly was the deciding factor in the
1912 games with Harvard, as Yost
views It,
MY idea of nothing to bother or
worry about" he said, lis the future
OF Yale football. Yale has won more
championship games than all the rest
put together, and it's only a question
of a short while before she will be
swinging back to her old stride. If
they all do as well as Yale in the next
ten years, there win be no cause to
complain in any camp
~ n the last year or two the Blue
has come in for a slump-whiCh
was only to be expected No college
eleven can expect to keep up the pace
eternally which Yale set many years
ago and has held most Of the way
since.
LAS for Yale in the last Harvard
game, 1t was merely matter of not
catching punts Beyond this the chart
of the game shows the two teams
fought about evenly Inability to
handle punts is a big weakness
vital one-under the present game
but developing a punt catcher of
ability is not as easy as it looks.
Ninety per cent of the ability to
handle punts is judgment or intui-
ton. The rest is practice. II back
field man hasn't this judgment no
one can teach him The hardest fea-
ture Of catching the bali is judging
it-not holding it when ii is once
properly judged and placed"

Heisman Doesn't Expect to Win
Says Tech Won't Be Outclassed

ably a trifie overconfident. When
Tech hit them that first suddening
blow they went down with the dull,
thickening" for the count and never
did recover enough to ask what it
was all about until it was about"
over.
TOR all that / think no one will be
disposed to give Tech the credit
she justly deserves 70 ra most spirit
ed fight Without Nance and John
ston in the lineup the team started
the game with an average weight of
only 1853 pounds, and finishing 1t with
a lineup averaging only 152 IL
pounds. Last years midget "immor-
tails" weighed 154 pounds, 50 the
reader can judge for himself whether
the Yellow Jackets were playing real
ball for their inches or not against
their much heavier opponents.
AS for the wealth OF new material
that we have read and heard so much
about as being on the Tech team this
fall it is probably worth noting that
of the eleven players who started the
game eight Of them were in college
last year, though only Ave OF these
on the varsity. OF the three new men
--Preas, Patton and Cushman-the
first weighs 1872, the second 1853, and
the last 1853. OF the nine subs put
in the game seven were in college
last year, while two-Hayes and Ri
walls are new men. The former weighs
141 and the latter 157. / give these
details merely to show that the team
is not really getting from the public
the credit that it deserves.
HAVING rounced Sewanee in such
II decisive fashion Tech admirers
are feeling good ove1th game with
Auburn the coming Saturday. But If
l am any judge of things footballic
they will do we'll to take my tip and
"go slow"
How can a rush line averaging 1853
successfully cope for an hour with
one averaging 100 pounds especial
ly when Auburn has nine backs, the
one as good as the other, to send in
behind that line in relays every ten
minutes? And back of this is the
fact that Tech has lost TrawiCk, Lu-
cas- and Johnston. In addition Alex
ander, one of the few dependable line
subs, is on the hospital list now with
very bad shoulder that he took on
in the Sewanee game. Nance, too,
is more or less Indispensable on ac-
count OF an attack Of chills, and it is
doubtful just how long he will last.
He was out of the lineup last Satur-
day for this reason, and as Alexander,
his sub, had to leave the game in the
first half It's wonder the Tech line
was able to hold up on that side.
A ND yet the team is going good.
Coach Devore has done miracles
with the green line men and left the
other coaches free to attend to the
backs, whose improved drive and
lack of fumbling against Sewanee
showed the results of the more con-
centrated attention that had been put
upon them.
The team has found itself in spirit
at last, as has the college, and 1t
knows full well what it is going up
against on Saturday. | have little
fear that 1t will not be able to give a
good account of itself
But to demand that the team as it
stands should WIN from what l re-
gard just at present as the strongest
team in the South, is, to my way OF
looking at 1t, just a little more than
is within the pale of reason and sound
sense.

Herculean Task Faces Tech
Auburn and Georgia Some lob

as varied as the merchandise in a
country emporium and considerably
more valuable.
Quite an assortment Of assets for
Auburn
Then here is an admitted fact:
If Tech is going to take the Orange
away from Auburn and leave just the
Blue, Tech has to show all the spirit
and the drive the Jackets showed
against Sewanee, and then has to
turn loose every bit of football In the
Jacket cosmogony.
In this event the Jackets, already
considerably battered as to Messrs.
Johnson, Nance, Alexander ct ais,
will have to go through considerable
more of the Bat Nelson act of assimi-
lating punishment with just an out
side chance of winning.
GAY Tech does all these things and
~ wins--whats the result?
Tech will have to face their ancient
| and most hated and feared foe, the
Red and Black Of Georgia, with the
| knowledge that Georgia knows every
| formation the Jackets have, and the
! team will have certainly suffered in
| condition after the Auburn ARRAY.
| Now it's no lead-pipe cinch that
! Tech could take Georgia into camp
| under the most favorable conditions.
| 1t is as debatable a question as the
! tariff, votes for women and the regu-
| lation of locker clubs. It's practically
| a certainty that under unfavorable
! conditions Tech will have the same
| chance of defeating Georgia as ser
| pent would of doing harm in dist1l-
| lery.
Tech has two courses to pursue.
The Jackets can play carefully, hold
ing Auburn as closely as possible and
| taking chances on the breaks in foot
| ball fortune coming to them, and
| emerge cooked and primed for Geor-
| gia, or Tech can take desperate
| chances, fight from the gong, and
, come out of the game with consider
able glory, but little chance Of de-
feating the Red and Black.
| COUND the sentiment out at the
~ Flats and among the Tech alumni
and you'll find that Tech would rather
| beat Georgia than trim Harvard, and,
| knowing this sentiment, it is alto
| gether likely that the willy Heisman
will not take any chance in the Or
ange and Blue battle, but conserve
| his resources for the intrastate en-
gagement
| But there Is one consolation for
Tech thus apparently in a Glove
hitch. Mike Donahue, most careful Of
all coaches, is going to be even more
careful than Tech, for he has the
| Vanderbilt game and his chance for a
championship one week in the offing.
| Maybe while Mike is playing the safe,
sane and conservative the Jackets can
put over the knockout.
And maybe Tech will come out I'M
injured.
And maybe Tech will then beat
Georgia.
And maybe
