Great Crowd Expected. Coach Dan McGugin of Vander-hilt will use two full teams against Texas this afternoon, as the Vandy squad is the largest in the history of the school, numbering three crack squads. It is the first time he has ever been able to send 33 able men against Texas in football history. The Exchange club of Nashville is boosting a monster campaign to "fill that stadium" this afternoon, and every indication is that it will be more than successful. Pluto Lusky, the sensational tackle from the freshman squad of last year, is back in the lineup manifesting his old power after having been out with blood poison.

Lusky will not be used, however, except in an emergency. Fred Mc-Kibbon, another stellar tackle, will be shifted to end in case Lusky is used at tackle. Temperature 41. Reports brought back from Austin by backfield coach Lewis Hard-age have caused the squad to- be driven daily, and flood lights installed on the field have been used in night practice. Signal work is caried on with great rapidity, and the squad resembles a "Hurry Up Yost" aggregation.

Nashvile temperature is an even 41. The Nut Cracker BY JOE WILLIAMS The experts say Walter Hagen is the best match player in the world. But it seems so terribly silly for a big grown-up man like him to play with matches. It is reported Bartley Madden was paid $25,000 to lose to Gene Tunney. This is an unjust reflection on Mr.

Madden's character, whose abil- ty to lose to anybody under any circumstances has never been ocen to question. Sweet Youner Thine: Have von "Firecrackers?" Knur Old Thlnir? TVTiortrta hin1r this is, an ammunition plant? You. never can tell. The fair, haired boy who brags his life is an open book may be nothing more than a loose leaf ledger salesman. And getting back to Mr.

Bartley Madden, it has always been his proud boast that he stands ready and anxious to lose to the worst fighters in the game at any time. Five business men of South Bend, Ind, have agreed to underwrite a Dempsey. Wills fight, thus indicating they' never heard of Shelby, Montana. It is supposed to be quite an honor to be identified with the promotion of a heavyweight fight. Another way to acquire notoriety is to touch a match to a million- dollar check and see how fast It will burn.

Knute Rockne says he has no time for players who cannot think for themselves. This explains why he took up college football instead of professional baseball. As we 1 understand the negotiations of the French debt parley. France is perfectly willing to pay, providing it doesn cost her any thing. The current uprising of the Chinese laundry workers is not surprising to Mr.

O'Goofty, who recalls that "them birds are always getting hot under the collar." KDKA is planning a round-the- world tour for every Tuesday night. Ross H. Skinner will broadcast travel talks. Musical settings with musical instruments peculiar to the various countries discussed will give atmosphere. ii "Second Guessers" Have Inning.

By Billy Evans WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Rain, in large juicy quantities, wiped out the third game of the world series. Judge Landls, in the role of of ficial arbitrator, handed down the wet decision that gave the Athletics and fans a chance to get their bearings. Rainy weather is the ideal brand for second guessing.

There was plenty of it being passed around as the result of the second game. The experts picked to pieces some of the so-called strategic moves of the second clash that went to Pittsburg despite every effort on the part of the Pirates to pass it over to Washington. Why did the infield play in? was a favorite topic of conversation at press headquarters. This dates back to the final in ning of the second game at Pittsburg. Managers, in deciding as to whether the infield shall be moved in close or play its regular positions, are guided by the score and inning.

in the much discussed situation. the bases were filled, no one out, the first of the ninth and Pittsburg leading by two runs. Baseball precedent in such a situation Is that the infield, 99 times out of 100. should play back. The reason is obvious.

Inside Play. With the Infield back, there Is always the chance to pull a double play on a sharply hit ground ball. Of course, ono run would score on the two-ply killing, but the tenseness of the situation would be, much relieved. The home team, which enjoyed two-run lead at the start of the inning, would still retain a one-run margin with two out and a runner on third only. If the batsman up in such a crisis is slow of foot, the stage is per- rectiy set to pull the Ditcher out of tne hole on any fast hit ball to the infield provided it is back.

Veach, selected by Manager Har ris to do the pinch hitting, drives the ball hard and, incidentally, isn't a ry Cobb on the bases. No doubt Manager Bill McKech- nie had his reasons for moving the inriem in close. He chose to take a long gamble decidedly contrary to baseball precedent, but he got away with it. It hard to blame a man ager when he wins the ball game. However, had Veach, instead of sending a long fly to center, driven a ground ball through the infield, two runs would have scored, the game would have been tied and two runners would have been on the bases with none out.

When a fellow pulls one and gets away with it, the happening is soon rorgotten. Only the moves that prove fatal are long remembered. For that reason the question as to why the Pittsburg infield played in win soon be forgotten. Reuther Good Hitter. In the same inning.

Manager Stanley Harris was taken to task for sending in Dutch Reuther as pinch hitter in preference to several other players on the bench. True, Dutch did strike out in-gloriously, but I can see no reason why the tecond guessers should take Issue with the judgment of the Washington manager. It was argued because of his long stay in the National league the pitchers were wise to Reuther's weakness. Yet there is no denying that Reuther can hit the pill. All things considered, I doubt if ever an American league club in the history of the world series will get more chances to win a ball game than did Washington in the second battle.

The Pirates did a number of things to smooth the way for a Washington victory, but the Senators failed to take advantage of it. It was a rather soft spot that slipped away. Getting back to the possibilities of the series, I still maintain that never were two teams, on the surface, more evenly matched. Prior to the start of the series there was some doubt as to the Washington pitching. In the first two games it exceeded my fondest expectations.

Pitching Good. It Is doubtful if Walter Johnson and Stanley Coveleskle have pitched two better ball games this year. If there was any particular edge in pitching, it certainly belongs to Washington, because of Johnson's most remarkable exhibition. Cove-leskie's was almost as praiseworthy. Washington looked best after the opening clash, while the Pittsburg aggregation stepped out in front after evening the score.

It looks like a tough battle in every game all the way to the wire. But there Is no denying that Washingtn will have a hard time getting over the mental hazard created by the failure to win the second game after twice filling the bases with none out. Old Mr. Psychology may figure prominently in the 1925 series before It is decided. Ruth Unable To See Series Games NEW YORK, Oct.

10. Babe Ruth arrived in New York last night from Washington, disappointed be cause be will be unable to see the other games of the world's series. He is suffering from an abscess and will undergo a minor operation in a hospital where he was under treatment last spring. Ruth went to Pittsburg against the advice of his physician. BAPTISTS MEET HOGS.

FAYETTEVILLE. Oct. 10. Coach Hurd and 23 Oklahoma Baptist Buffaloes arrived here Friday from Shawneo for battle with the Razorbacks today. A drop in temperature promised ideal football weather for the game.

Captain Clewis was in the game all the time fighting hard while he w-as assisted by the rest of his backs in making the gains. Only once did his line fail to hold and he was thrown for a loss but this was not repeated. As Bill Smith so truthfully put it, "Dutch Ritter has the making of another Buddy Tynes." Now, if you don't know this gentleman then you aren't acquainted with one of the best line plungers the Southwestern conference has ever known and I know of no greater compliment Dutch could receive along these lines. But if I were to attempt to name the individual stars of Thursday's game then I'm sure that I would be half the day on this one job. Whoa! Just a minute.

We are about to leave out the best man that was connected with the Austin High school team. He is Tom Dennis, large blonde coach of the Maroons. He is the boy who called his team from the field at the end ef the first half and talked the fight Into them that caused them to increase their 3 point margin to a point margin over SMBA and he Is the boy who taught his team all of the tricks and playa that enabled them to make the gains after the necessary fight had been instilled. This afternoon all those fans going to the St. Edward's game will have a chance to see the Austin lad known as "Cotton" Muckleroy do his stuff for "Bully" Gilstrap's eleven.

Cotton played what was called "Floating Center" for Austin High school and on the offense he was one of the best halfbacks that ever went through a line. Ossie Bluege isn't going to be in the lineup of the Senators until tomorrow or the next day. He Is the boy who was hit on the head by one of Vic Aldridge's fast ones Thursday. If I were Ossie I would make eure that Aldrldge was going to be on the bench before I went on the field. Hey, you Longhorn backers! Come on up and get the play by play results of the Vandy game.

It is going to be a good one and there is going to be lots of fighting done by the Steers. It ought to be of great assistance to the Longhorns If this little cold spell hits Nashville, for jafter being used to hot weather and then to step into a cool climate that their opponents are used to should give them more fight than usual. TELL 'EM, DOC; TELL 'EM. The Steers have gone, It won't be long, Till Vandy is submerged. The Steers may be green, But they have a machine That can fight real hard when urged.

The postponement of the third game of the world's series certainly dissapointed a lot of fans. They opened the gate at the Washington park for a few minutes and Just a tew thousand fans came in and took seats to wait for the game. Wonder what would have happened if they had have left the, gates open for an hour or so? Yes, sir! There sure is lots of football today. Two games, at the stadium and one to be broadcasted from The Statesman window. Guess those at the St.

Edward's game will have their thoughts divided between the game they will be watching and the results of the Vandy-Longhorn tilt. Clyde Littlefield's freshman are cracked up to have a real good team this season. They have a wealth of material and as we all know, Clyde Littlefield is a competent coach, so I guess that little crack Is true. One man that is going to maks a good little halfback is the freshman captain. He is a Beaumont boy who goes by the name of Bue-lar.

Buelar is going to Beaumont With the freshmen soon and they are planning to give him a warm reception there, Let's Go. Longhorns! YEA TEX!

Cortemeglia and SMU Beat Washington DALLAS, Oct. 10. Southern Methodist university Mustangs galloped over the line of Washington university's eleven Friday after noon to a 20 to 6 victory. The powerful Cortemeglia, Mustang halfback, in a series of brilliant line plunges, was responsible for much of the scoring. The St.

Louisians gained their single touchdown on a beautifully executed pass during the last quarter. Cortemeglia made two of the three touchdowns for SMU. The third one, made by Wade, was on a fumble recovered across the line when Cortemeglia made a drive for a touchdown and failed to reg ister. Much of the game was played In rain. The Pikers were unable to gain on several trick plays at tempted.

They made a few gains through the line but the only real threat was on a forward pass. Levy to Hayes, in the last quarter, which gave mem their only smore. Aggies And Tigers In Light Work DALLAS, Oct. 10. The Texas Aggies arrived here Friday for their big intersectional clash with the Sewanee Tigers at fair park Gat urday.

Both teams had a light workout in the afternoon and then doffed their pigskin regalia to await the starting whistle at three clock. Veteran teams will form both lineups In the fray. Coach Dana X. Bible of the Aggies has at his command a powerful team that showed Its strength early last season, but failed to progress far In the conference race. Coach Ben nctt will put into the field a team that is liberally sprinkled with two and three year Inter men.

meet are as evenly matched as a spectator could ask and it is nrac tically a toss-up when attempting to aetermine we winner. Rice is to play Trinity college and should beat them with an easy margin. Last week's results proved to us that Coach Heisman is hold ing back and no large score should be expected from the Owls. Arkansas has a large edge over the Oklahoma Baptist and will more than likely take advantage of this fact by running up a score. So it is this In short: Two hard fought games and two games that may be listless.

Baylor is scheduled to play TCU on Tuesday of next week. That eliminates them from the schedule of this Saturday but it crowds their games since both have games scheduled for the following Saturday also. This contest for Tuesday is doped to be a good one in whirh the Bears have the slightest edge.

Rain and snow prevented the third game between the White Sox and Cuba in the city series Friday. Hostilities will be resumed today at the National league park, weather permitting.

Pitchers probably will be Sheriff Blake for the Cubs and "Red" Fabcr for the White Sox. The Cubs have a one game advantage, the first contest having been a tie. Although two of the members 'of the Southwestern conference are to be idle this w.eek there are some hard games scheduled for the remaining teams that will be played today. Two Texas entries into the conference will have out of state clashes while one member had its game Friday. SMU defeated Washington University with the score of 20 to 6.

Texas University is to meet the Commodores at Nashville and Texas Is to meet the Sewanee Tigers at Dallas. This out of state contact is one of the best things the members of the conference can do in order to bring more all-American selections to the Southwestern conference, according to Knute Rockne and as a consequence all out of state games are watched with more than ordinary interest.
