Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-11-18
BY Fuzzy Woodruff.

nuslv sought by the artistic
patriots of this broad land, is
probably lost to the music loving
public, but in that loss fulbaek has
been uncovered that has, in his brief
career made football history and is
likely to pen another chapter before
the dust has settled after the .Geor-
gia- Auburn conflict in Atlanta Sat
urday.
Gentle reader. allow us to intro
duce Mr.. Bidez, of Auburn. His name
sounds sufficiently weird for him to
qualify for artistic duties without any
change in nomenclature save the
Giovanni bats for Bill" so frequent
ly found in grand opera scores.
Signor Bidez is not WITHOUT other
qualifications for the job of filling
the expensive shoes of the sublime
Enrico. Auburn will tell you what
he MARBLES with surprising sweet
ness in the Auburn Glee club, and
that his robust tenor has delighted
the crowned heads of Opelika Head
land, ozark, Troy and the other Ala
bama' centers of culture that the
Glse Club visits each year,
A r odd times he has also done lit
"a tie fullbacking under the tutelage
of that master impresario of the
pigskin, Maestro Michael Donahue.
But up to Saturday his opportunity of
honors and advancement in the full
backing field were as limited as those
usually offered third substitute.
Wherefore. when a week ago the
clarion call to arms was sounded
by the manager of the Auburn Glee
Club for the annual pilgrimage of
that organization through its native
temptation of appearing before a
bucolic populace in an evening suit
and hulbulling for the entirely en-
trancins lassies that frequent glee
club concerts.
He showed the jersey and the mole
skins into dark closet and saw to
il that his squash hat was i'm working
order, and was away to lift up song
for the glory of his Alma Mater
while the regular, the first assistant
and the second assistant fullback
were getting their respective physiog-
Monies mussed up in the same sacred
cause.
Which shows that Signor Ridez is
| a philosopher as well as fullhacller
and golden-voiced tenor.
! l N the meantime, Maestro Mlttdel
was working might and main to
make ii certain that his followers
| dowhed those of Maestro .McGugin
| He seemed perfectly well intrenched
| as to the fullbsCk proposition
| Didn't he have Mr.. Harris who sang
like that beautiful bird they call the
| bear, but who had a proven ability to
| tear through anybody's line for first
! down
| Didn't he have Mr. Hart, who pos
| sessed the musical attainments of a
| one lunged Chinaman on debauch
| but who has undouhted predictions
\ for slipping through for touchdown?
And wasn't there Mr. Christopher
/ who has probably never heard of
! Puccini but has demonstrated tall
ents in the line of. endeavor made ia
| nous by Ted Coy?
Where was there room for q man
with a blonde voice?
But Maestro Michael had another
| think
In all Auburn, Mastro Michael was
! the only soul who realized that the
| Orange and Blue needed every ounce
| of its power to defeat the Gold and
| Black. and Michael also realized that
his chiefest asset ~was in his fullback
| strength.
! He knew that his superior forwards
| in the center of the line could finally
/ batter down the Vandy defense. He
| knew that if he Kept shooting in
| fresh fuNbacks, II was only ques-
| ton of time before the Commodores
| crumbled
| r HEREFORE he sent a hurry up
call for SiSnor Bidez and after
| warhing one sweet swan song ana
| bidding a fond adieu to his evening
| clothes Sisnor Giovanni Bideg
| donned the moleSkins and was once
more plain Bill
No opportunity was given him un-
| I'll the final quarter of the combat
