FANS THIS WEEK
Alabama Meets Tech, While
Auburn Invades East in
Army Game
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Gridiron struggling is, now begin
ming to reach it's climax with the
playing of the more important games
on their schedules by various teams
over the country. Although the
games which tradition has made or
is making annual classics do not come
until later on in the season, the stage
Of practice battling has passed, and
the season is now we'll under way.
There are several games of unusu-
al interest this week. Probably the
game that will cause greatest local
interest this week Is the Auburn
Army affair, which will take place at
West Point Saturday. 1t will mark
the first invasion of the East by the
Tigers, and alumni and friends will
watch anxiously the outcome of this
big struggle Saturday.
Another game, which may develop
into as much of an annual feature as
the Auburn-Tech battles. will be the
Tech Saturday in Atlanta, Alabama
has branched out with one of the
most ambitious schedules of any
school in the south this year, and
the game with Tech is only the
beginning of a string of as hard
games as any team will have to play
this year.
Alabama seems to have an unusual
/ ly strong team this year, and Tech
is not being made the strong ia
vorite to win it was at first predict
ed. In fact, Jacket followers are
not claiming over II points SUI
lperfority, and actual battling will
probably show less difference in the
two teams ability than that. The
Crimsons are going to Atlanta with
one idea. to Get Tech" and Ala
hama probably stands not bit less
| than an even chance to do that little
thing.
Vandy Opens Stadium
A game which means much to Van
derbilt and its alumni will take place
Saturday, when the Commodores ded-
icate their new s2bo,0o0 athletic
stadium in an intersectIonal game
with Michigan. The Wolverines,
under the coaching of Fielding
Curry up) Yost, will invade the
south in ono of the feature inter-
sectional games of the year, ana
Vanderbilts big stadium will proba-
lily be filled to OVERLOOKING WITH
football and enthusiasts Saturday.
sewanee meets Oglethorpe in a
game which will give fandom
chance to see how Alabama ana
Sewanee will probably stack up TINS

Saturday, winning. Al to 0. Crimsons

- Gre en- s.

When we investigate most breaks
in the game we find that while they
are undoubtedly factor in matches
they have nothing like the import
ance which Is usually ascribed to
them, Breaks" are pretty nearly
equalized in So holes of golf. Most
of the breaks of the game will be
eliminated for the player who will
learn just what the possibilities of
each club in his bag are, play them
within his power and, above all, play
his own game uninfluenced by what
his competitor may dc.
Recently 1 heard the defeated play
er in a two-ba11 match 1amenting that
the breaks were against him when,
as q matter of fact he was simply
outmaneuvered by a very simple de-
vice of which possibly his opponent
wasn't even conscious. Tho style of
play of these two players was dis
tinctly different. The winner was a
quick-playing, fast-walking player.
The loser was Of a more phlegmatio
type, but apparently influenced by
the quick, decisive manner of his OPP
ponent. unconseiously dropped his
own style of play and took up that
of his competitor. The result was
he was thrown off his game and did
not make at all the score of which
ne was capable. Inc QUICK, Snappy
style of the winner was quite I'M
suited to the temperament of the
loser. Had the loser stuck to his
own method he would probably have
won the match. There is little golf
ing moral here which is well for all
players to remember. 1t Is: Play your
own game.
Mental Hazards
There Is another factor entering
into golf matches which players are
apt to interpret as break In the
game" which. as a matter of fact, is
nothing of the kind. have in mind
the purely mental effect which be-
ing consistently outdriven has on
many players. Most players assert
and believe that they do not object
to being outdriven, but many of them,
as I have observed, do not have the
temperament to take this form of
disadvantage gracefully and either
are actually depressed by 1t, or, by
striving too hard to overcome short
age of distance. their ball finds the
rough and they are in a worse posi-
tIon than If they had gracefully &C
cepted the superior driving power
of their opponent.
Obviously either result seriously
handicaps you In playing your best
gamM 1t is apparent that chance is
not nnected with the situation at
all. although you would hear many
players attribute such results to the
break OF the game" The question is
rather one of golf temperament.
