BADLY MED California System Under Andy Smith Is As Varied As Any In Country. BY WALTER CAMP, Leased Wise te Tie Birmingham Beer. Cepynght, 1923, iy The Birmingham Hews. a EW HAVEN. Nov.

25. Th 1922 football season so far baa been like nothing so much as an old-fashioned spelling bee one mistake and out you go. Moreover, many teems, after overcoming a number of hard obstacles have tripped over little. Insignificant bumps. Just see what happened to tne "Big Fellows." The Navy was floored by a then despised Pennsylvania team.

Centre, although not discouraged by a Harvard defeat, was put down and out by Auburn. Penn State, sailing alone serene-ly, tripled over the Navy and then had a real fa'I over th in and out Penn team. Yale stumbled over Iowa and fell headlong before Princeton. Harvard, given a bitter blow by th Tigers, succumbed to Brown. Washington snd Jefferson, having won a hard game over La Fayette, and presumably headed for premier honors was overwhelmed and beaten by Pitts- burgh.

LaFayette now looks back with emotion on that terrible second half against Washington and Jefferson. which smeared her clean slate and left her a defeated team Pittsburgh, with th triumph over Washington and Jeffer-son clearly In mind. Is demanding to know "Why did we not come clean over LaFayette and West Virginia?" Dartmouth made a first stumble over Vermont. Boston College found a solid obstacle in Detroit. Sjracuse, as usual, found Pitt her bete noir.

The little giant killer Illinois tumbled Wis- conxin. Franklin and Marshall threw 1 down Swarthmore, but later felt defeat at the hands and legs of Ldckinson Dickinson In turn was humbled by a Gettysburg and Gettysburg got hers -when she went against Pena State. Illinois fell before Butler early in th season, and Georgetown succumbed to i Holy Cross. Princeton Cam To Top. Princeton came to the top of her class the big three secure in a championship.

Cornell has only th Penn gam to fear. And unless John Helsmans "Wizards" come through with the deermlnatlon that they showed In th lost half of th Navy 9 game, Doblea men should win. West Virginia should come through by beating f.ashlngton and Jefferson oa -Thanksgiving Day. but can they do It 7 Notre Iame has only the tie with the Army against her, et Rockne team baa not show- th class that it ha shown In other years. The Thanksgiving games, post -season series to most of th big teams.

wlU show both class and staying powers. Reversals of form are not expected. Confirmation of the greatest defensive improvement can be counted upon, but who ran count on the various of- i fensea which may be offered in those last four quarters of play. Perhaps those last few games will show an offense which will serve to take the minds of the rule makers off th predominant development of the season. which is that neither a running gam nor a forward passing stuck is a acor- ing asset unless it ts combined and co- ordinated and backed with a punter capable of covering 69 yards.

Andy Smith, In development of the California team, has shown that he has more than one method of offense. He has a wonderful attack and hi opponents on the coast have no similar development of defense. Yet while he. has no opponents on the coast, opposition on the Atlantic seaboard might leave that offenee dependent only on its timing with a rough, hard. Chang- Ing of the time -elm k.

WHOM the dope favor, the pod destroy. Favorites simply cannot win In the Bulldog-Panther grid clash. For seven years the dope has gone wrong on this battle, and Saturday when Ham Stevens, standing on nfie 40-yard line, booted over a free alek from placement, following a fair latch and a 15-yard penalty. It won for Howard over the dopesters' choice, Birmingham-Southern, 9 to 7. There has rever been a more soul stirring contest played In the 14 battles between the -Panthers and Bulldogs than the one Saturday that kept shivering spectators on their toes throughout an afternoon of nerve wrecking breaks, tweaks that first favored one side and then the other.

Howard was able to take advantage of the breaks that came her way, Birmingham-Southern couldnt realize on her breaks, heavy penalties cutting short her dangerous threats into Redtnd Blue territory. Howard was the first to score, getting possession of the ball late in the first period, following an exchange of punts, a Bulldog falling on a fumbled punt on the Panthers Zu-yard line. Ham Stevens rammed 12 yards through the line, the period ending with the ball or seven-yard line. On the first play In the second petiod Ham Stevens went over right tackle for a touchdown. He kicked goal, liut holding was detected In the Howard I ne and the point was ruled out.

The Ianthers came back in the third period and took the lead, Gandy recovering a fumbled punt on Howard's 35-yard line. A fofward pass from Norton to Klchardson netted 12 yards. Norton swung around left end behind beautiful Interference for 15 yards, placing the ball on the Bulldogs eight-yard line. Miller hit the center of the line for seven yards and on the thlnl crack at the line Mike Norton went over right tackle for a touchdown. Miller kicked goal.

The climax of the thriller came in the middle of the fourth period when Ham Stevens signaled for a fair catch on his own 45-yard line. He started as if to run, taking two steps to balance himself. A l'anther back snagged him as he went by, the Panthers drawing a 16-yard penalty. Standing on the Pan-, thers' 40-yard line Stevens placed the free trial for a kick between the center of the goal posts. The thriller close 1 with the Panthers on the Bulldog's five-yard line, following three successful forward passes that netted 45 yards.

Victory looked to be within the Panthers grasp as the shrill, piercing echo of the timers whistle ended the raging buttle before the Howard fortifications. One more play and the Panthers might have won, as Captain Miller was dropping back to prepare for a drop kick from the seven-yard Riie as the boiling turmoil ended. The losers' dazzling overhead attack had come too late to stave off defeat. What would have happened had the Panthers opened up with their brilliant assortment of trick plays and forward passes earlier in the period is something that the dopesters can fall back on in self-defenso and try to figure out. The valiant sons of Howard fought as no Howard team has ever fought before a foe from Sunshine Slopes.

It was a desperate, crying team that went on the field for the Bulldogs. A team that wouldn't give up hopes. Howard fl'-Played little football this season front a standpoint of winning, but Saturday saw a new Howard team in spirit. In action, a team that believed in Itself and one that absolutely refused to surrender to Old Man Dope. The Bulldogs outplayed the Panthers after the first few minutes in the first half of the game.

Two 15-yard penal ties for holding in the first five min ut, 4 of play took the dash and sure ness out of the Panthers. The turning point In the game came early In the first period. Following the recovery of a fumbled punt. Birmingham-South ern opened up In full blast rushing the Mpr.ll to Howards 27 -yard line, a beau S( ful triple pass for 16 yards, being offset by one of the linemen holding. A.

few minutes later Horton got away for a 20-yard run and again holding was detected In the Birmingham-Southern line. After this it was all Howard up until the Bulldogs scored in the second period. The half ended with the Panthers coming stronjr and showing riore team work on the line. In the last half the Panthers had the edge, although they found the going hhrd and tedious. The Panthers desperation turned to the aerial route, the route they should have taken earlier in the game after finding the Howard dine almost immovable.

Howard did most of her gaining over the guards and Inside of tackles. The Panthers gained most of their ground through the air, none of the Panther backs being consistent in hitting the forward wall. It was a hard, clean fought game as all Panther-Bulldog games have been il the past. Both teams showed the results of excellent coaching, some of the best tackling of the season being seen. For a thriller there has noth efn a better one at Rlckwood this year.

Toby Stubbs, Alford, Hurst, Stevens and Tlnklepaugh made gridiron history for Howard. Stubbs was through the Birmingham-Southern line on practically every play, there was no stopping him. If he smeared one play, he smeared fifty. He played by far the greatest game any guard has shown st Rlckwood in many a blue moon, Alford, as great a lineman for his weight as ever walked on a gridiron, was just as effective as Stubbs, his tackling standing out. Hursts knifing through was spectacular, ar.

teaming 1th Stubbs made the Panthers off -tickle gains few and far between. Stevens was the most reliable back 'cn the Howard team. He followed hie Interference well and drove hard off tackles. It was his line smashing and toe work that enabled the Bulldogs to come through by the skin of their teeth. He ran his team well.

Tlnklepaugh, a substitute, saved the Bull dogs hide twice In the last few minutes of play by dragging down Panther Stacks headed for Howards goal line fwith a clear field ahead. Hoss Gandy, the Panthers 180-pound end, put up the greatest game of any 'Individual on the field. Pe made at least a third of the Birmingham-Southern tackles. It was Gandy who was stopping the Howard backs after they had gotten past the line of scrimmage. Toung Levie by far the best game in the line for Birmingham-Southern.

He missed few plays and Howard respected his ability by not trying her ks over him. Norton, playing his last game. 32-eellbre. Aatomalio Piatel; tegwlatiaa Military Model, kins Steel rif.ed barrel.

IT IS announced by C. Wilbur Streit. chairman of the B. A. C.

road race committee, that the annual road race of the local club will be held Dec. 16, instead of Dec. 9. as originally intended Eight teams have already signified their Intention of entering this meet, which has bee me the South's classic of its sort. The club Itself will put forth one of Us strongest teams in several seasons and, though not doped to win.

are sure to be real contenders foe the victory. Ellsworth Richter, Clem Laughinhouse. Sam Chesnutt. th McDougall brothers, I Bill Hoskins and others are expected to form adequate material for a splendid team. In particular has the return of Doc Laughinhouse proven a source for much rejoicing, as the little athlete in other days was one of the B.

A. C. aces. As usual, Mississippi A. M.

is counted on to have a highly dangerous contender. Spencer, the wonderful distance man of the Maroons, wtu again compete and this boys running is certain to make his team a contender again. He Is, of course, supported by a customary string of stars and the 1 men from our neighboring state to the West are sure to cause trouble In box car lots. I The seven other teams that have en- tered up to date are Alabama, Auburn, Birmingham-Southern. Mississippi A.

Atlanta Athletic Club. Georgia Tech, Clem son and Sewanee. Vanderbilt is another contender that is likely to fall In line, while Mercer, Howard. Oglethorpe and Louisiana State are more than mere possibilities. With the teams already entered the meet would be representative of most of the best talent In the South.

Emory University, of Atlanta, Is another strong llklihood In the entry list and It would be no surprise to see the Methodists enter, especially as Birmingham-Southern. a notable rival, will have a team competing. If the Emuryltes do entgr, it Is likely that, Stokes, their fine distance man. will represent his college, rather than the Atlanta A. C.

He runs for both and is fairly sure to be in attendance for either one or the other. Work of Otis Kirby at Birmingham-Southern, Wilburn Hutsell at Auburn, and Hank Crisp at Alabama has made the three Alabama schools forge rapidly to the front in track of late and It would be no surprise to see them push the leaders this season. If their improvement Is proportionate to that of last year. The race will be, as usual, for a three-mile distance over a track through the streets of the Magic City. This has been found a highly satisfactory and desirable method heretofore and there seems no reason for deviation.

the opening of its new Exhibit Rooms No. 2 South Twentieth Street BY W. K. (HAPPY) ASKEW. AS the pfesent football season approached there was some dissatisfaction among the Auburn alumni, principally among those who were non-participants In athletics during their college career.

And they almost started something. 'Why can't we get a backfleld coach?" Mikp Is 10 years behind time and we ought to do something to keep Auburn on top In athletics," and a thousand other such remarks were passed around. What did the real fellows say: those who worked and fought tjrider "The King of Auburn;" those who had personal contact with him. not only on the athletic field, but In class rooms, on the campus. In times of trouble and finally those who knew something about football.

"The best coach In the country, Auburn's greatest asset, the students' friend, no matter whether he Is an All-Southern man or a lounge llzzard, a Jew or Gentile, a Protestant or Catholic, or what not. Mike will help him. and ten thousand such remarks. What greater tribute could be paid to a man than the one paid Donahue preceding the untimely death of his great center. Winston Caton.

a man who had fought four years with all his heart, respected and loved his coach, believed In him and felt that his presence would lend great happiness and composure In those moments when such could be gained only through those he loved? Was Mike behind time? He caught the first train without changing clothes and rushed to Birmingham. Sincerity by both could not have been more truly displayed. When one of his men was dying In Montgomery, whom did he think of besides those around his death bed? "Tell coach I can't make It were the last words that fell from his lips. How many are there of us who worked under that great little man who would not fight and keep on fighting for him? Devotional Service. Through Donahue's years of devotional service to Auburn he has gained a national reputation as a leader in clean and straight athletics I dare say he has stressed upon that point In every talk or lecture given publicly or to his teAms.

"Fight and fight hard, hit and hit hard, give all you've got. but give it cleanly. has been drilled Into thousands who have been so fortunate as to hear It In a tone of unmistakable meaning. Auburn teams are expected to play cleanly and they have gained such a high record that It Is more oi less of a handicap. If such a thing Is possible.

On such rare occasions as when a member does lose his temper momentarily. It stands out more brilliantly than a perfect record for four years. Can there he a better field for character building? I defy the man who has ever heard one of Donahue's orders resented, scorned or treated with contempt. How many of us have seen one of his fullbacks plow down the field, play after play and yard after yard to get the bali within scoring distance and then be relieved by a fresher man? Did he come out scorning? Nine times out of ten he came out crying; overjoyed that he gave his best and sorry that he had no more to give. And then he saw that lasting smile and those Immortal words, good healed it all and bound them closer does the ruler of Auburn command such everlasting respect, admiration and love? He plays no favorites.

Each man gets an equal chance-and his success depends entirely upon his ability. He is firm, exact and a non-flatterer. He has that enviable gift of telling a man of his faults In both a humorous and humiliating way. He shames Instead of scorns and criticizes wittingly. How few of us can be humorous yet firm.

A few simple words of praise from Mike Donahue Is worth more to an Auburn man than a full page write-up In the strongest newspapers. As the 1922 season progressed Auburn gained national fame for having one of the greatest scoring machines in the country, and her schedule has not been a bed of roses leading to opponents goals with paper thorns resisting. Has Auburn needed more offensive football? Donahue la ahead of the times. What would Auburn have done last Saturday without that famous Donahue defense and drive? "Prepare for sunshine but always he prepared for rain, Is a fitting slogan. "Punch that line.

waa the order sent In after the first quarter and never has an order been more thoroughly carried out. Had not they been prepared for such occasion. that game would have been lost. Inspired by the most touching talk ever given an Auburn team and knowing that victory meant a personal favor to the man who asked it. those eleven super-men came back after the second half and, between sobs, swore that they would bring Joy Into the heart of their coach.

Their touchdown came as a direct result of the surest tactics in football. They punched and punched and battered that line Into submission, and when one of the greatest players in history felt back to kick out and stave off the Inevitable a few minutes longer, four heroes closed In upon him and crowned their coach with tie most valuable victory of his career. Great Combination. A survey of the records to date will show that the combination, Donahue. Wilson and HstseL will become the strongest coaching and training staff la the country.

It would be a menace to football, a calamity to Auburn and a detriment to Alabama's manhood to lose either of the above named.
