without a manager, as Jack Hendricks,
the gray-haired leader of the Mound
City team, is now in Knights of Column
bus work for the army, and has an
nounced that he will not be back to
lead the Cards.
Hendricks was a great minor league
manager. and had won a flock of flags
in the bushes, but as pilot Of the Car
dinals he proved q flivver and the st.
Louis bleacher wolves soon made the
genial Jack swish he had never heard
Of the Cards. Jack suffered all kinds
of hard luck, and finally managed to
pull through the abbreviated season,
and now he Is glad of the chance ia step
down and give some other unfortunate
a chance TO try to please the commu-
nifty owned Cards.
No manager has been named to sue
coed Hendricks as yet, but It has been
rumored that Branch Hickey, when he
back from the army, will lead
the club. Hickey was president of the
Cards before going to war, and it is I'M
derstood that Branch prefers an active
part In the playing end of the game,
so 1t wouldn't be surprising if Hickey
pulls off his army clothes and digs in
to bring the Cardinals into their own,
which is long overdue.

Owing to Mitchell's success with the

also hard to see how Mitchell is going
to act as president. and manager of
the team. Both offices require a lot

In both capacities.
In case Mitchell acts as president,

Introduction Of Military Tao

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The uuss.
ton Of the future Of collegiate sports
has been answered by the introduction
of the system Of army athletics into
the colleges. Collegiate sports are to
be standardized and not abolished a.
the result of the mobilization of mora
than 500 colleges as military centers.
The new plan will insure the exist
ence Of intercollegiate sports after the
war BY developing q greater number

oomplished by the establishment at

direction of the wal department com.

ing with the cooperation Of the Rth-

DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft.
On Nov. II four or more men from

course will in turn establish smaller
schools in each district to which in
structors will be appointed for train
ing from all S. A. T. c. units.
Under this plan a permanent force
OF competent physical training and ath-
letie instructors will be formed. This
will be equipped to conduct a uniform
system Of training in the schools Of
the country. This sports program has
a definite purpose. 1t will not only
develop the desired camp spirit in the
college by, including every man in the
sports n by the promotion of CONF
petitive games for the largest numb
Der of men but 1t will benefit the in
dividuals by creating an aggressiveness

the consciousness of bodily control. The
soldiers in the colleges will be pre-
pared for the program of physical train

be better candidates for officer ma

T HAS ENOUGH.

Christy Mathewson, former Giant
pitcher, who has been making a stab
at managing the Cincinnati Reds, has
announced that he will not be in charge
of the team when baseball is resumed.
Matty is now in the service Of his coun
try, and Is planning to enter another
line of endeavor when discharged from
the army, being inclined to allow the
mantle Of Red manager fall Of other
shoulders.
Matty was a big favorite when he first
assumed charge of the Reds, but when
the team started skidding and bad luck
bobbed up, Redland scribes and fans
Immediately launched an attack on
Matty which soon made the Old Master
sick at heart and disguised with the
whole proposition, Matty did his best
and landed the Reds higher than any
other manager has been able to do in
recent years, but the fans Of Cincin-
natl demanded his scalp, and Matty has
announced that he is forever through
as manager of the Reds.
Heinie Groh, the peppery little infield-
or OF the Reds, has been nominated for
the job and is likely to succeed Matty.

GEORGIA Tech
ALL READY FOR
PITTSBURGH
Great Grid Game on Schedule
for Tomorrow in Smoke
town.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 22-Two Of
the most remarkable football machines
IN the history Of the modern gTidiron
game, will meet here tomorrow, when
the eleveus Of Georgia Institute OF
Technology and the University Of Pitts
burgh play for the benefit Of the united
war work fund. Not since the season
of 1914 has either team lowered its col
ors to n rival combination, and during
this period Of close TO four football
years, both combinations have amassed
point totals running into the hundreds.
It is not the number of points, how
ever, which has attracted the attention
Of the gridiTon fans, in all parts OF
the country, to the play Of these teams,
but rather the wonderful offense and
s~tonewall defense of the elevens which
each season rave been built up to per-
petuate football fame OF the institutions.
Neither has had a student body Of sew
eral thousands from which TO select a
few players Of exceptional skin or
Drawn. On the contrary the registration
at both Pittsburgh and Georgia
Tech is exceeded at many colleges and
universities.
Under the circumstances such credit
as is not the rightful property Of the
actual members Of the teams must go
20 the respective coaches and Georgia
and Pittsburgh are fortunate in pos
seSsing two really remarkable football
mentors in John Heisman and Glenn
Warner, Players Of sterling ability in
their day, when they wore the molcskin
armor OF the game, they have never
lost their enthusiasm for the sport, and
have in addition kept fully abreast Of
the rapid changes in the sport during
the years since they figured in the
scoring Of ~touchdowns.
AS strategists and inventors Of start
ling scoring plays they are in the select
coaching class with Fielding Yost. Gil
mour Dobie and one or two others.
Combined with this exceptional gift Is
the power to inspire and control their
pupils and a foundation Of footbalI fun
damentals which caves nothing to be
desired.
The meeting OF two teams coached
by mentors OF this type and with such
four years records at their backs Is
therefore a gridiron epic. Unless all
signs fail the contest should result in
a football history making game, Neither
team has hesitatcd to meet the strong
est elevens available, and In view Of
this fact the records made since 1915
are all the more impressive.
Georgia Tech has played 30 games,
winning Is and being tied IN two, More
than 800 points have been scored by
the aptly termed Golden Tornado
Less than 100 points have been scored
in the four years by opponents, while
the Georgia average per game Is about
90. Pittsburgh has played q games,
winning all with Il total point score
Of about 500. Like Tech, their oppon-
ents have been held within the 1907
point mark, and Pittsburgh's average
per game approXimates about 80 points,
