SEWANEE STARS
 CRIPPLED IN WIN {
 FROM KENTUCKY
Cooper, Crudgington, Ham, mond, Payne and Wood son May Not Play
 Against Crimson

sewanee October s0-(speciaL)-s wanee's victory over Kentucky state Sat- urday was not without It's price. Cooper, star right end, was probably put out for the season, when he sustained a heavy lick in the kidney, which has pro- duced a temporary paralysis of the lower limbs. He is resting comfortably in tho hospital here and hope is held out that he may recover in time to play in the Thanksgiving game.
 Three other men sustained injuries Of a more or less serious nature. Crudging ton had his knee badly wrenched and 1T is not thought probable that he will Do able to go in the Alabama game. Payne, the big center, has a bad Charley horse. while Hammond and woodson both have bad knees. However. Coach Best is not worrying and Alabama may expect 2 hard battle.
 Practice this afternoon was inter- rupted about o'clock by the rain, tomor- row will see the beginning of hard prac- tice in scrimmage work. Saturday Coach Best will come out for the first time with plays in which he has been drilling
 the men since the first of the year, but up to the present time has not had occa sion to use.
 ] Coach Kelly endeavored to slip one over i on the Tigers Saturday by playing the
 game with Mississippi on Friday, in or I der that he and part of the Alabama l team might scout the Sewanee and Ken- lucky state game He did not learn a straight football of the most rudimentary ! nature.

JOHNSON REWVES BASEBALL ISSUES IN MAJOR CIRCLES Possibility of Third Major League With Shorter Schedules Topics of
 Discussion
STEVENSON

Chicago, October 30.-The question Of q shorter playing schedule for the major leagues, and the possibility of third major league as war measure. was re- vived today with the return of B. $. Johnson, president of the American league. There will, however, be opposi- ton to the proposed 14o-game schedule, as Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the White Sox. has already expressed his dis approval of any shorter schedule subject than 152 games It is said that two club owners in the American league, also will oppose any other short schedule.
 "A new league might benefit the game during the war and it should be con- sidered war measure exclusively" said MT. Johnson. .'It is a certainty the minor leagues will have to make some adjustments next season in order to get ty. They cannot go on as they have in the past"
 He did. not indicate what cities might be grouped into new league.

REMAINING BATTLES |OF JACKETS COUNTED
 |AS SURE VICTORIES
Heisman Preparing Eleven for Battle Against Vandy Saturday-Team Is in
 Fine Form

Atlanta, October S0.--(speclall l--Arter est, Pennsylvania, Davidson and Wash ington and Lee, the Tech eleven will start to getting itself in shape for the November contests with Vanderbilt, Tu- lane in New Orleans, Carlisle and Au- burn. These last four games were booked, as in the custom, with the idea of reserving the best brand of football until the various teams were at the top of their stride, but the Yellow Jackets have developed such amazing strength that the only thing uncertain about the outcome is the size of the score the To- calls will run up.
 Vanderbilt. Techs opponent Saturday, has engaged in four games this season, having defeated Battle Ground academy, 51 to O; Kentucky, to 0; Howard. 6s to 10, and having lost to Chicago, 4s to O.
 None of the Commodore victories are impressive. McGugin's men failed to score touchdown against Kentucky, who was beaten by Sewanee last Satur- day, 2 to 0. Sewanee was only able to get a 6-6 tie game with the light Howard team last Saturday by 8 69 to 0 count. Kentuckys showing against the Com modores and Sewanee gives better com parison of the strength of the two Ten nessee teams than their games against Howard.
 While it is expected that the vandy eleven will not lower their colors to the Yellow Jacket banner without a hard fight it is hard to see where they should trouble the locals to any great extent. The form displayed by Vandy against Howard cannot be taken too seriously. One week previous to the game between Washington and Lee and Tech the Gem erals overwhelme Randolph Macon 66 to o, and it was thought that Tech would be given a hard run, but the opposite was true, the Jackets winning easily.
 vandy may not follow in the footsteps of Washington and Lee, but to success fully cope against the Golden Tornado when it is out for business requires some thing that no opponent has possessed this season, and whether the McGugin ma chine has the power to withstand the on- slaughts remains to be seen.
 Vanderbilt elevens have always proved drawing cards over the country and there should be one of the best crowds of the season out to witness the melee at Grant field Saturday. After the vandy game, Tech had but two more games here, with Carlisle and Auburn, and the chance should not be overlooked of wit messing one of the greatest football ma chimes produced in this country.
 Tech has outweighed their opponents in every game this season and will also have the edge in poundage Saturday. !, vandys average has been given out as 1 162 pounds. This is very probably un- I der the actual figures, but as Tech has | a very heavy team, the locals will likely | outweigh the Commodores, even though 1 their weight is considerably above the
 162 given out.

VANDERBILT HOPES
 ID KEEP MINIMUM
 SCORE SATURDAY
Commodore Followers Ex- pecting Crushing Defeat From Great Georgia
 Tech Eleven

Nashville, Tenn, October 3O-(Specia1) Beginning today the Commodores will be put through four days of hard and fierce workouts in preparation for the game with Georgia Tech Saturday. The McGugin machine must bend every eff fort toward rounding into proper shape for the game. The affair with Howard ] college Saturday on Dudley field failed to give any line on the strength of the Commodores for the reason that the Bir- mingham eleven was far weaker than they had been represented and did not put up any obstacle whatever to the charge of the Vanderbilt backfield men.
 Straight football only was used by the Commodores for the reason that the field was in sea of mud and for the added reason that they were care full not to let the scouts from Atlanta secure any information as to the strength of their attack The result of the game has been a source of gratifi- cation here, however, because it seems like old times to have such large score rolled up against an invading squad.
 Although the overwhelming victory in the game with the Baptists demon SIrateQ the Iact that great improve ment has been made by the Vanderbilt eleven over the work displayed at Lex ington, yet there must be still more im- provement in the play of the Commodores before they can hope to give the Yellow Jackets any serious opposition. There are no sIackers to be found in the Gold and Black squad and all have buckled down with eagerness and determination to the task of fitting themselves to face the most formidable football aggregation in the south or in the entire country.
 The hope of the Gold and Black ma chine is to hold down the score against them to minimum and if possible to cross the goal line of the Yellow Jack cts. Whether they will be able to realize these hopes Is matter that remains to be seen, but if hard work and plucky determination count for anything, they will.

Villas Chief of Artillery Now is .
Student Officer.

Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-Dis-
covery was made today by Col
James A. Ryan that there is a stu
dent officer in the training camp here
who prefers to become even lieu
tenant in the United States army
rather than be general in the leg
ions OF Pancho Villa of Mexico. He
was the Mexican chiefs commander
of artillery in 1913 and 1914 and par
ticipated in many engagements,
where his bravery won him the title
of "El Diablo." Colonel Ryan, in
compliance with an order concerning
the publication Of candidates names,
refuses to divulge the, mans right
name.
"El Diablo" is graduate OF Wash
ington University, St. Louis. and is
81 years old He was in the automo-
bile business in Ell Paso in 1879
when Villa ordered him to build an
armored car Villa was so pleased
that he asked "El Diablo" to take
charge of his motor transports. The
latter agreed and later took COM
mand of Villas artillery, engaging
in battles at Ojinaga and Juarez, the
latter battle in 1913. He was with
Villa until 1914, when he removed
to Colorado, from which state he was
