whatever they have undertaken has been
successful. Their names alone will prob
ably insure the success of this undertake
ing.
This will be good news to Knoxville.
While this city has been treated to some
good baseball in past years, it has never
been favored with a Southern, or Glass A
league.
Back in the early '90s the old Independ-
ent organization, composed of semi-pro-
fessional players, played a series of S0-odd
games with semi-professionals of Mays
vile, Ky. Later Knoxville had member
ship in Tri-State league composed of
teams representing cities in Tennessee
Georgia and North Carolina. Still later
Knoxville was represented in another Tri-
State league composed of clubs of cities
in Tennessee and Alabama.
Subsequent to that organization Knox
vile was a member of the celebrated
minor league known as the Appalachian
league
Knoxville has sent many successful
players and pitchers to the major leagues.
The Appalachian league, as minor
league, bears the reputation of having
sent more timber to the big leagues than
any other minor league in the history
of baseball.
About seven years ago Knoxville tool,
over the franchise of a club from q
South Carolina city and participated for
a part of one season in the South Atlantic
league. Knoxville that season finished
well up in the race. The following year
however, the franchise reverted to the
original owner.

ARMY GIVEN GREAT
SENDOFF TO GOTHAM

| West Point, N. Y, November 24.-The
Army football squad comprising Sc
| players, IL coaches, and half dozen
trainers and rubbers, left today for
New York, where the cadet team will
meet that of the Navy on the Polo
grounds tomorrow afternoon.
The West Pointers are in splendid
condition and high spirits, and while
voiceing no claim to victory, they APP
peared confident of giving good &C
count of themselves. They were sure
they had one of the best elevens ever
to represent the Army, but the coaches
have endeavored to guard against
over-confdence.
The cadets are going into the Navy
struggle with the best record of any
West Point team in years, as they have
passed through the season without
a defeat.
A rousing send-off was given the
squad. A demonstration in the mess hall
| by the whole battalion was followed
! by wild scenes on the parade grounds
| The West Pointers will take their final
| drill on the Polo grounds this after
noon. The post here will be deserted
tomorrow when the battalion of ca
| diets depart for the game. The team
| will remain in New York until Sunday
noon. The players will attend a thea

brilliant in advancing the ball. And
the whole team played individually
and collectively well. There could have
been no victory possible under the con-
ditions without that.
Only Floyd was consistently able to
pierce the stubborn Auburn defense,
which was not overrated in the slight
est by the Commodores in laying their
plans for the game. Auburn lived up
to reputation in the way her players
spilled the Vanderbilt plays, and IN
her offensive she was even stronger
than had been anticipated. Her back
field is said by the local players TO
be the heaviest they have ever met in
the south.
1t was the red-haired and crippled
Floyd that had the trick which the
Plainsmen could not solve, and which
carried the ball twice over the goal il
the last quarter and brought victory
to Vanderbilt. Right through the line
he made his gains, beating the Au-
burn men at their own game. His
linesnnen would open hole for him
but the barest fraction of a second,
and he was always there to plunge
into 1T and to wriggle and fall for d
gain of three to five yards. Wander
bilt men are wondering today wheth-
er Curry ever gave a grander exhl-
bition of individual play.

Nashville, November 24.-Until last
Saturdays games were heard from,
Vanderbilt men still had hopes of a
claim on the southern championship
for this season. But when Sewanee
failed to stop Tennessee, these hopes
went a glimmering. 1t is not believed
that Kentucky State will possibly be
able to beat Tennessee on Thanksgiv-
ing day, and the latter team is now
conceded an unbroken season of vic
tories The Commodores, who played
Auburn last Saturday, think highly of
that teams chances against Georgia
Tech on Thanksgiving, but even If
Tech were eliminated, there remains
as before said the undefeated team of
Tennessee.
In the game at Birmingham last
Saturday the Commodores proved that
they are not a one-man team, as has
been sometimes charged against them,
and that there is no cause to do any
excessive worrying about the future
of the team after this year when the
wonderful rabbit" Curry can no
longer be depended on for the need
ed gain. The work of his understudy,
Price, last Saturday. was at all times
heady and sure, and at times he was

Chance to Get Franchise

Knoxville, Tenn, November 24-If the
present plans of Knoxville sportsmen and
financiers carry this city will have South
ern league baseball next season.
When the above special was received
Tuesday night, II. M. Johnston, who had
been in Chattanooga in conference with
officials of the Lookout club, was called
over the telephone and confirmed the re-
port According to Mr.. Johnston the
prospects are very bright for Glass A
ball in Knoxville.
1--WE have made President Andrews and
other officials of the club a proposition, =
said Mr.. Johnston. 1.-THE proposition we
made them, we believe, is a very attrac-
tive one and if the club is on the market
for sale I can see no reason why they
should not accept it,
Continuing, Mr.. Johnston said that ten
tative plans locally had already been ar
ranged and that in event the Lookout
franchise comes to Knoxville this city
will be given a club the equal of any
in the Southern league. The conference
between Mr.. Johnston and the Chatta-
nooga officials was held last Saturday
the day on which Tennessee met Sewanee
but announcement of the pending dea
was not made until last night. Accord
ing to Mr.. Johnston, the proposition will
stand for is days. 1t is said, however
in the Chattanooga special that an an
swer to the Knoxville offer will be made
not later than Monday.
Arrangements have been made, it is I'm.

weeks with the sole purpose of having
the Methodists in excellent trim for the
big game, that with Howard college.
Coach j. B. Longwell has likewise worked
very diligently and announced yesterday
afternoon that his team would be in the
best shape of the season for the crucial
battle.
METHODISTS HAVE EDGE
Birmingham has the edge on Howard
throughout. The Methodists outweigh
Howard, are more experienced and have
better record for the season. In Frank
Neill, Birmingham has also the better
punter, giving the Methodists the edge
in all departments. But at that the
Howard followers are confident, and
point to the games of former years
when the best team failed to win.
For the past two years, Howard has
been the favorite. Last year odds were
greatly in favor of the Baptists, but
the Methodists held their rivals to a
90 tie, which was the score the previous
year with Howard on the big end of the
betting.
The result of the game today decides
the tie games of the two previous years,
according to followers of both institu-
tons.
Interest in the game excels anything in
recent years. Although a large crowd
Is expected out not as many as should
will attend the game. The battle is
strictly local affair and the public
should support the game. Good football
is played and simply because big elev-
ems are not playing is no reason why the
attendance should be small
E1oward's average weight is 1853 pounds,
while Birmingham will average 165
pounds. The Methodist line averages Il
pounds, while the backfield will average
about 165 pounds. The Howard line will
be outweighed about 10 pounds to the
man with the same proportion in the
backfield.

Yale and Harvard Legions

New Haven, Conn, November 24.-Yale
and Harvard legions began pouring into
this town for the annual football battle
tomorrow between the Crimson and the
Blue. Hotels are crowded and many who
failed to make reservations found them
selves without prospect of quarters for
the night But the rush will begin tomor-
row morning. when many special trains
will arrive from New York, Boston and
other points, with additional thousands
that will go to make up the 1900 spec
tators expected at the game

Coaches applied the finishing touches
to their elevens yesterday afternoon,
giving their squads only very light
signal drill. Mass meetings were held
at each college and the spirit of the
students is perhaps the best in several
years.
The game today is regarded of the
most Importance by both institutions.
The entire schedule is played with the
one view to win the game today. Both
elevens are in the best of condition, and
one of the scrappiest battles witnessed
in recent years between the two ancient
rivals is anticipated.
Birmingham college has one of the best
small college teams ever seen in this sec
ton of the country. The Methodists
have lost but one game this season, and
that to the University of Alabama by a
margin of two touchdowns. The Meth
odists have won all other games on their
schedule and are consequently big favor
ties in their annual clash with the eleven
from East Lake this afternoon.
BAPTISTS LIGHT
Howard college has had fairly sue
cessful season. They have lost two bat
ties, one to Auburn and one to Marion
institute, a team which Birmingham de-
feated by the scant margin of one point.
Coach Longwelrs eleven is very light
and inexperienced, but at the same time
is most deadly on the open play.
This part of the game is expected to
be the ruling feature of todays battle.
The Methodists are strong on end runs
and forward passes in addition to having
two men who can be counted upon to de-
liver a field goal if necessary. Howard,
likewise, plays the forward pass fire.

CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE
IN "BIG NINE" TODAY

Chicago, November 24.-Western confer
epce or big nine" football will end for
1916 tomorrow, and only a tied score
can prevent a clear decision as to the
championship. The title will be settled
at Columbus, O., where Ohio State and
Northwestern, the only indicated elev-
ems in the organization, meet. The game
will serve as a climax to a season re-
markable alike for it's reversals of form
and development of latent talent in the
several schools.

More than 1900 seats have been
distributed for the Harvard-Yale strug-
gle in the Yale bowl in New Haven,
while close to $4,000 spectators will
witness the clash between the United
States Military and Naval academy
teams at the Polo grounds in this city.
The demand for reservations far out
stripped the supply.
Had it been possible to accommodate
all applicants for tickets the attendance
at these two games would have ap-
preached close to 100000. The total gate
receipts will exceed $2l5,000,
INTEREST KEEN
Interest in both games is exceptionally
keen as it is expected each struggle will
be closer and more spectacular than
similar games in the past few years
This is particularly true of the contest
at New Haven. Yale will send against
the Crimson the best combination that
has represented the Blue in recent sea-
sons and the outcome is considerably in
doubt
Yale has a squad of football players
of more than average strength and alert
ness, coupled with a fighting spirit which
is fully up to the old Eli gridiron ira
dtions.
If the Harvard eleven was composed
of the veteran material of last year the
Crimson would be an overwhelming IA
vorite, but coach Haughton has been OBJ
lged to rebuild the Cambridge machine
and some of the parts are not of the
same strength as last season. Conse-
quently it is doubtful if the elevent will
have the same power of the offense and
defense.
ELI CHANCES GOOD
1t may develop that under fierce, but
more or less Individual opposition Har-
wards machine-like play will break down.
due to new material. If such proves the
case Yale's chances of winning will be
greatly increased as there is little diff
ference in the individual power and abil-
ity of the two squads.
IIarvards advantage seems to lie in
playing to the limit the system built up
at Cambridge by Haughton. If there is
a departure from this perfected football
form, Yale and Harvard will meet upon
