I. IN FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON BT SPICK HALL Just as tho clock In College Hill was booming 3:31 and a fraction o'clock, "Blg'un" Freeland lifted the oval from the fifty-yard lino into Birmingham College's territory, thereby beginning tho first big football game of tho season. Vanderbllt, after drilling twenty players during the four quarters came off Dudley field victorious by a clean-cut forty to nothing scoro. On account of the slippery condition of tho field, tho work of neither sets of backs was as fast as It would otherwise havo been, yet thero were very few fumbles when the gumminess of the ball Is taken Into consideration. For a day which began with so much promise and sunshine the afternoon presented a gloomy appearance.

The rain fell In tlie early part of tho afternoon, but later on it cleared sufficiently for a crowd of five or six hundred to drift out to see tho Commodores get their first real 1 workout of tho season. The boxes as usual presented the aspect of a thea-tre rather than a football game, for they were filled with members of Nashville society. Many automobiles wcro also In their places along the west Bide lines. FAST ATTACK. Just as predicted the Vanderbllt proved 1 to be a marvel of Apeed, the muddy field seemingly having little effect on tho work of i the offense.

So well had D. McGugln put the men through She signal drill that not a burst on signals occurred and all of the plays were ripped off In Gatlin gun style. Another feature which should not bo overlooked the fact that at no time during tihe game wore the regulars in the game all together, except at the beginning of the game. As soon as play had proceeded a few minutes McGugln began snatching out his stars and putting In subB and second eleven men Several of the positions on the 'varsity are by no means cinched yet. so all of tho candidates' were given a thorough tryout vln the backf leld at opening of tho game were left half; Collins, right half; Doherty, full back; Hay Morrison; quarter; B.

Brown, right end (and- Kent left end. That quintet worked wonders before the play had proceeded two minutes. In fact within a minute and fortyrfive seconds after Freeland had pasted the hostile ground, Hardage had' around the right Bide for the first touchdown following that up by kicking nil easy goal. Those men In the hack field worked, together, like so many, wheels In a watch. There wasn't 'a.

bobblo. They were off 'like wind at the snap of tlie 'ball, the interference was exceptionally good for such an early in the season and the' runner, invariably gained yards -by means of the straight arm and side step with disconcerting ease. SiilM -OHANCE. Coach Duck Henhad a team rep- By MO NTT. NEW YORK, Sept.

80. The football season of 1911 is fairly under way, and the time Is ripo for "dopestera" of this, that and the other kind get busy with masses of prognostications, idvice nti.l retrospect. Knowing the uncertainty of the game, wo fear to venture Into tho field of prophecy. Not yet having had time to make a twenty-four-nour study of tho new rules and conditions, we steer clear of the "long-whiskered So all tnnt Ib left Is tho retrospect, and "We accord-" Ingly nominate our unworthy self a "ret-rospecticlan" whatever that Is. Lot's got egotistic and essay to pick an nil-American all-time team.

A bold aily this, to bo aura, but we jump at tho chance engerJy-'aa a pleasure Instead of a task. Any effort to add, even In feeble measure, one whit of glory to those brave warriors of the eleated shoo who "fought, bled and died" on tho gory and glorious gridiron Is never amiss. In picking an all-American all-tlmo team our efforts will be to select men who, given amplo practice together, would prove the strongest possible combination under the present regime of fast and open play. Each man Is considered according to his ability when in his prime. Hero is our selection: Ends-Ki I patrick, YaJe; ShevJIn, Tale.

Tackles McKay, Harvard; Hogan, inla. Guards GlaHH, Yale; DeWitt. Princeton. CenterHeff el linger, Yale. Quartorback Ecltersall.

Chicago. Halfbacks Wcekes, Columbia; Heston, Michigan. Fullback Coy, Yale. For a Bccond team we hand It to these: Ends Poo, Princeton; Wauseuka, Carlisle Indians. Tackl os Kinney, Yale; Cooney, Princeton.

Guards Fisher, Harvard; Pickarski, Pennsylvania. Center Holt, Yale. Quarter Sprack ling. Brown. Half backs Pendleton, Princeton Rob-lnsori, St.

Louis. Fullback Dibbles, Harvard. Thus the llrst team Is made up of a majority of Yale men six of them. Tho other five are divided ono apiece between Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, Columbia and Michigan. The second team contains three Princeton, two Harvard, two and ono each from Pennsylvania, Carlisle Indians, Brown and St.

Louis. On tho first team there are two men from lifiO elevens Kllpatrlck and McKay. The second team has three last year men, Sprack-llng, Pendleton and Fisher, As to the Individual merits of eauh man. Klljmtrlck and SiievJIn of Yalo were two ends as alike in style as could be found. Both were ten-second men ou the track and both tipped tho scnle at over 200 pounds.

They were culldoga or the highest type. Poe of Princeton was a marvel, but was so much smitllcr than these two that he could hardly bo selected before them. Wauseuka, the Indian, Is given a place on tho second team bo-. cause of his remarkable work in running down under kicks. In the tuckle position McKay and Hogan seem supreme.

Both are built near the ground, powerful in holding safe their spot in tho line against the- defensive tackle, fast runners on a tackle-around play, and bulwarks of defense. Both at- i tained note in breaking through tho opponent line and spoiling piays boforo they were started. Kinney, who was Hogan' 8 side partner at Yale, was much the same kind of a man but a trifle slower. Cooney, who captained Princeton In one of her greatest years, was of the steady, dependable- sort that was always ready in a tight situation to deliver the goods, but was not as spectacular as the other three mentioned. The guard position Is about the hardest to get a line on.

It Is hard to obsorvo the work of these hard-working men in the mlddlo of the pile. But, nevertheless, two men stand out above the rest evftn here. They aro Glass, ono of the florctttt, biggest and strongest men that ever wore tho blue of Eli, and DeWitt, tho Princeton wonder. Do Witt would hardly get the placo wer it not for his celebrated toe, with which he punted and placed-klcked farther consistently than any other man who ever lived. For this reason alone he was just a little above the average in tho mujor colleges.

Fisher, Harvard's present captain, and tho Pennsylvania whirlwind of 1904, both excelled DeWitt In strict line play, but must give way before his kicking prowess; At center there are two men who tower head and shoulders above nil others. These aro Heffeltlngcr of the early nineties, who was the strongest point In "What was ono of the greatest lines Yale ever had, and Holt of Yalo, 3902. Old-timers will say: "Heffelfinger was a So he was, but records also tell us that on a few occasions iio played tho pivotal position. Hcrfeltlngcr, giant that he was, and with his almost miraculous speed for a man of his size, would probably make mincemeat of the average line of nowadays. Quarterback Is probably the easiest position of all to fill.

There has been a wealth of good men for tho generalship job, but Walter Eckersull of Chicago Is admitted supreme among them all. In addition to being one of the greatest open-fleld runners In history he was a fierce and certain tackier, and his drop-kicking won him such undying fame that no moro need bo said about him. Sprackllng of Brown, who flashed across tho football firmament like a comet last year, has earned his right to socond choice. Before this season is over ho may loom up as greater than "Ecklc." Two halfbacks that are cracks can be named by any followers of the gamc.and supremacy In this position Is probably more disputed than In any other. After considering a dozen who looked good enough wo name Harold Wcekes, the wonder of tho last team that ever flew the colors of Columbia, where the game Is no more, and Willlo Heston of Michl-gun.

Weekos would lose some of his value because of tho rule barring hurdling but his dazzling end runs alone would entitle him to a place, Heston was jfce best all-around halfback that has trod a gridiron In recent years and would be equally as valuable under tho new rplos as he has under the old. Pendleton of Princeton, last year's star, is a little too light to displace either Heston or Wcekes. Many will wonder, who Is this Robinson of St. Louis. In his time the first and i second years of tho forward pass he ex-oxecutcd' long line throws of the elusive oval, the llko of which probably will never again be seen on the gridiron.

He was a remarkable punter, good for. an average of forty-flve yards, and a dash- 1 Ing halfback. Under the old rules Rob- Inson was little more than a reliable old war-horse, but when tho new regime came "I in he was a wonder and earned rame ior his coach, Eddie Cochams, ail over country. Had he played on one of the big eastern teams his name would" go down In history as among the greatest of gridiron heroes. Half a dozen grandplayers could be used In the fullback position, but all of them seem Just about 25 per cent below Ted Coy, Yale'H plunging back of-JOOS.

Coy nan oeen canea ttte greatest iooioa.ii player in history. We neither admit, nor deny that, but we do concede that he wac the Keateat fullback. Next to htm wo placo )bbie, Harvard I SHWANEB, Sept. 30. (Special.) The Sewanee 'varsity handled the Military Academy here today in the first game of the season.

The field was very heavy and the quarters averaged seven minutes, so the game was not a good criterion for tho ability of either team. Gillcm, Noe and Myers made the touchdowns for the 'varsity, McClanuahan kicking one goal out of three trials. Both teams put up a good article of ball. S. M.

Collins ripped off ten more and Ray Morrison followed with a brilliant spurt for forty. Hardage shot around tackle again for twelve yards and a touchdown, then kicked tho goal. Vanderbllt kicked oft 45 yards to Waro, who was downed In his tracks by Nuck Brown. Birmingham made a successful forward pass for ton yards and Vanderbllt was penalized five yards for off sldo play. After two tries at tho lino, Birmingham punted and the Commodores again took up the attack.

Hardage went 15 yards, then Bobbins. whr placed Hay Morrison at quarter went oigin. jjoneriy nacied eight more then Collins went forty-five yards for a touchdown. Hardago kicked goal. At this Juncture, Sykes relieved Doherty at fullback." Birmingham kicked off 30 yards to Frcclflnd who returned fifteen.

Sykes opened up ii 30-yard sprint and time was callod for tho first quarter. Tho second half opened with Vanderbllt In possession of tho ball. Collins mado two yards, then tho ball went to Birmingham on a forward pass. On a couplo of line plays Birmingham mado eight yards, then a forward pass netted the ball going to Vundorbllt on downs. Sykes mude four yards and Itoblns soven.

A forward pass fnllod and Vanderbllt was penalized. Hardugo mada twelve yards, ijykcs three and Hnrdngo went the last ilvo for a touchdown, falling to kick goal. Vanderbllt klokcdorf over tho goal and Birmingham put the ball in play by scrimmage at tho 25-yard line. After ono attempt at tho lino, the ball was fumbled but Birmingham recovered, punting to Robins who returned soven. Collins ripped oft four, Sykes three and Ward-ago went 25 for a touchdown, then kicked goal, making tho scoro 29 to 0.

Vanderbllt kicked 35 yards and there was no return. War tried tho lino for a yard, then Beard, who had replaced E. Brown at end, caught him before he could rid himself of a forward pasn. Birmingham punted 35 yards and Robins returned seven. Sykes went three, Robins lost three then punted 30 yards to tlio 10-yard line.

Vanderbllt was penntlzed ten yards, aftor which Birmingham punted and Freeland returned the bail three yards. After a llttlo soc-sawlug time was called for the ond of the first half.

were working just as. hard yesterday as -they would have been doing against Tale. It Is a little habit that Dan McGugln has to get the ginger Into the men, no matter whom they are playing, whether the game bis easy or hard. Nuck Brown and Kent Morrison held down the end positions. As per tho new defense which McGugln has arranged, the ends play close in- and on the line of scrimmage.

Hence both Morrison and Brown were In tho thick of the fight most of the time, getting the runners often before they could, reach the llnu, nipping forward pusses In- the bud and hurrying the kicks off. Ray Morrison played his usual brlUlnnt game, but there Is no need to dwell upon what he did. Everybody knows what he is accostomcd to so it ia enough to say that he performed In the manner In which he Is wont, running tho line and. receiving punts faultlessly.1 For Birmingham, Capt. Cook at quarterback and halfbacks Ware and Blackwood did the best work.

Taylor hit tho line hard, but found no openings, so his efforts were futile. CLOSE VIEW. Vanderbilt's attack, though smooth, did not consist of a great variety of plays. In fact, straight football with a few, forward pusses mixed In, formed tho sum total. McGugln has drilled the team In many plays, but nothing out of the ordinary routine was used.

No splljt-plays or peculiar formations used against the Birmingham boys, simply bucks and end runs doing the work. At the beginning, VanderblH was the s6uth goal. Freoland kicked off 25 yards and after Waro and Taylor had tried the lino threo times unsuccessfully, Vanderbllt took tho ball on downs. Hardage skimmed, tackle for eight yards around the right side, then Ray Morrison ran fifteen around left end. Hardage was called again and went the remaining five VlHOT 15 HOfAE vus.g HAOUNtirJCr TO Ai-i- PL.OORS OF1WE BOOMKO BuiUDiMfj- Ano rr s.N,i cewfcii-i twm-t-owfr Serous tub.

At4he other half, Collins played consistently, advancing the ball each time that he was called On one occasion after there hud been a fumble right at the goal lino and the ball had cased across, -Collins shot over the line and -was on It like' a "streak. Sykes, who played at halt and fullback, looks Just as he did In practice He Is fast, runs with murderous speed and the men that get-in front of him tho harder he goes Into them, unless ho canget around. Sykes Is also a power, on the defense. He plays Just back of the lino, that Is he Is In tho secondary line of defense. He diagnoses plays well, gets the runners around tackle or in the line.

Yesterday ho had little to do except to dive under the smashes at -tho line, which he did with exceptional skill for a man of his weight. Doherty, who worked at fullback, proved to be a steady, speedy man. Ho had a number of neat gains In tho lino and around tho tackles. His work on the defense was also noticeable. Beard took Nuck Brown's place at end for a' few minutes and did well.

On onu occasion he dew Into the thick of the fight, downing Ware, tho opposing halfback far behind the line when tho Birmingham man was about to try forward pass. Huffman, Darwin, Shrygley. and Covington nil played their parts well in tho line. They opened up -holes whenever called upon to do so and seldom did they fall to plle'up every attempt at them by the Birmingham backs. OLD All members of the -old guard showed up lngood form.

The only thing noticeable ahout thorn was that they appeared In much better condition for' Btandlng tho grind than was expected. In tho line, Freoland, Chas.

In a name that grew scrappier and more livelier as It progressed, tho eleven ot the University of Alabama today 'defeated Howard College, 24 to 0. The namo. under mid-summer heat and real naming, was not shown till late In tho battle, 'Alabama getting stronger each quarter, scoring: once In tho first quarter, and three times in tho last.

Alabama had tho ball In her opponent's territory nearly all tho tlrms and would have oiled up a heavy scoro but for a costly penalty. At tho end of the sec ond quarter A. Vandegraff for Alabama, received a forwnril nnnji. meed down tho Held and tallied, only to have ink Louujiuowii (iisquutiueu uecausa ot time being declared out. To break down the aggressive playing of the and white Hownrd fought hard and exhibited at times some clever deronso work.

On the other hand. Alabama was dazzling with trick passes and fake nlavs. Fln- nell. captain; Baumgardener, Moody and A. Vandegraff being reliable ground gainers, i no icaiuro ot too game was resenting Birmingham College which outweighed the Vanderhilt contingent several pounds from tackle to tackle, and by the way, don't forget that Buddy Morgan is in the Commodore line.

Tho trouble was that tho material from Baronville was just too slow for tho speedier men of the Vanderbllt crew. Though outweighing Vanderbllt in the line, Birmingham did not gain more than fifteen yards in the whole game through the line, although the attack was directed there on every occasion except when a forward pass was tried. If an end run been tried occasionally instead of repeated plunges at. the line, Birmingham might have been able to slip a good gain across occasionally. But Cnpfc Cook didn't seem to fathom that method at all, lor whenever his team had possession of the ball ho began hammering at Vacderbllt's line which held like a reinforced concrete Just why the Birmingham boys did not try the ends was not apparent; and the glaring lack of generalship became so evident In the course of tho game that the Vanderbllt rooters began yelling for them to try an end run.

Birmingham pulled off three successful forward' passes while Vanderbllt got away with only two. and the Commodores tried the play a greater number times at that. The gains by Birmingham on tho forward passes, however, were small, not one of them netting more than ton yards. During the' whole game, Birmingham made first down but three times and each the forward passes was the medium used to accomplish the desired ond. Uust what' would, have' happened if they 'had tried the Commodore ends will never bo known, but If is a sure thing that they could not have farod worse than they did in the attempt at the line.

According to (tho way wellffuro- were twenty men used by sent them in threes and largor clusters so that '-the players could bb kept of at any -timer Men'-wore going on and oft tho.field -all the i' time, the backs' wore changing '--positions and alio rooters' crying: 'or more scores.

30. Whole- families have been knocked out and toppled off the pugilistic map by far less, punishment than, Johnny Kit bane administered to gamb little Frankle Conley in their twenty-round battlo before the Pacific Athletic Club at Vernon this afternoon. Tho bout went tho.llmlt and KII-banc won the decision. Had an' expert accountant llgured the blows struck, Kilban's majority would probably have been returned on a basis of 100 to 1, but not onco was Johnny able to tip the bravo Italian boy over. Without ii knock-down feature, the battlo wan but a succession of one-sided rounds.

KUbano was never threatened. From the moment the boys sprang fresh from their corners at the opening bolt until, totally blind In his left eye, Conley struggled lamely through the twentieth and last, there nevor was a second when Kllbano's mastery could be questioned or doubted. Time after time ho caught Conley Hush on the jaw with punches that he swung from his waist and with every ounce of his strength, but Conley only came back for moro. Near the close of the twelfth KUbane drove. In five stagjrorlng punches to the chin, spinning Conley around, but when tho bell rang, Conley was all, right and laughing.

KUbane will probably bo mitched with Abe Attell for the featherweight championship. GET SEASON TICKETS TJ. S. Marine Band and nine other superb attractions for one dollar at Rice Bureau. FLOOR THAT TURNS OVER One Side for Dancing, the Other an Auditorium.
