Tech-Vanderbilt Game Next Sporting Event
JEdited By PERCY H. WHITING.
TECH'S NEXT ADVERSARY HAS ALL STAR CAST
Football fau* of Atlanta nr/* awaiting
ra§*r1jr tho debut of the one all-star foot
1*1! r**t which will rlalt Atlanta this
waaon—Vanderbilt team.
TM* team meets Tech on Tech field
-afunlny In a game of the greatest ini-
i 'rtfluco to the Southern football world.
TUI* Vanderbilt team Is the one which
lias rolled up 180 point# on* their Honth-
<m adversaries In four games, .whldi beat
die husky Rose Folyteobulc team S3 to 0,
nnd which ‘‘morally defeated" the famous
Michigan machine, though the game went
to the Northerners by a score of 10 to 4.
This Is the team likewise which will
nezt week measure strength with the Car*
Ihle Indians, one of the rery . strongest
mams in the Kast this year.
11 will be .worth the price of admis
sion just to see the hunch. It Isn't every
•lay that ft (a possible to see in action
a football team like Vanderbilt has.
Kut don't let any one get away with
the Idea that Vanderbilt Is going to smear
it nil over the Tecb tpam and run up
tiny large aud Juicy score.
Vanderbilt Is going to win. The football
fans may an well harden themselves to
that fact right now. lint It seems almost
(crtsln that tlic local players will hold
the Vanderbilt men down to as close n
score as any {earn In the Sonth—closer, no
doubt, than ereti the Roae Polytechnic did
ft's going ta be n great game all right:
imh< of the best of the year.
There l» only one regrettable feature
alKHit the gaaie, and that la that. Van
derbilt ah hndl? ontwelgbs Tech, When
ii good light team goes against a bum
heavy team, the light team, hat the bet
ter chance, but when the heavy team la h
wonderful football team, likewise, then It
Is tough ou the "llltle 'pns;" *o (bore-
jmi arc.' Both teams know football front
the front end of the rale book to tin
\mil Him unit thou nror (lit* i/nnl
Hint the latter wilt try to make up what
ever difference there may be lu weight
by trick plays and speed.
Ilelsmau's tuon will find, however, that
Vanderbilt is right there "with the pep-
per" when It cAmea to nabblug trick
plays. The Commodores bare been care
fully drilled In handling short kicks nnd
forward passes, and In every game they
have played they have got the ball from
the opposing team most every time any
thing faucy was attempted. As scramblers,
the. Commodores haro proved themselves
wonders.
Tech will find the Vanderbilt men faat os
well* for It has been with comtflued speed
aud strength that Vanderbilt has defeated
so many opponents. The Commodores will
also In* found to in* bard nnd sure tack-
(era. The men go low aud hard after their
msn,\ and It has been next to the Impos
sible to get by them.

Philadelphia. Nov. IB.—The Univer
sity of petin.ylvonin football squad of
about twenty-live left this city yeater-
(lay for Winslow Junction, N. J., to put
on the finishing touches for tho irame
with Michigan on Baturday. Every
man on the squad was In the pink of
condition when the men left the city
and the coaches are confident that the
players will make great progress under
the bracing New Jersey atr. Here the
men will not bo permitted to line up
for any scrimmages, but will devote
tliclr whole time to living out of doors
and running through signals. They are
by no means confident of defeating the
Michigan club, but will enter the game
with tho same spirit which enabled
them to overcome Harvard two years
ago.
FRANK'S HATCHET OUT NOW
FOR MANAGER BILLY SMITH
Special to The Georgian.
Memphis, Tenu., Nor. 15.—After the an
imal meeting of the Southern League di
rectors In Birmingham In December, Billy
Smith will probably have to find a new
method to get around the salary limit, ac-
cord Jug to the dope sprung today by Tom
McCullough, secretary and treasurer of the
Memphis baseball club. Tom mya the
teams which will line up with Charley
Frank are going to vote to amend the
constitution so that no player can Ih» sus
pended In order to avoid tbo "fourteen
men and 82.700, monthly salary'.* rule.
McCullough thinks It altogether probable
that the Atlantti team will make u fight
for a higher limit, but at this writing
every Indication Is that the majority will
vote to keep the present limit.
Here Is nbout the way the teams will
line-up:
For Frank: New Orleans, Memphis,
Hhrereport, Montgomery, Nashville nnd
'Little Bock.
Agilust Frank: Atlanta.
On the fence: Birmingham.
In the "on the fence" class might pov
slbly tbo added the name of Montgomery,
but thla Is hardly probable, lu view of
the stand the directors there took iu the
fracas last summer, when It seemed for
a time that there would bo decided oppo
sition to the re-tioctlou of President Kin-
aimugh. At that time, the Montgomery offi
cials came out strong for the Judge.
Jack Powell and "Red" Donohue were
taken out of the box Just once Inst sen-
son. Jack Cbesliro established a record In
the other direction, being sent to the bem U
sixteen times.
The Now York Giants are having n hard
tune to find a Southern city for spring
