THE COLLEGE TEAMS
AUBURN AND TUSCALOOSA ARE
SHAPING UP.
Reports from Football Enthusiasts
Indicate That Some Good Games
Will Be Played Here
This Season.

Just three weeks from today the Al
burn team of 1901 will line up for tho first
game of this seasons football campaign,
and Montgomery will have two opportu-
mites of sizing up the work of the team
before the Vanderbilt game in Montgom-
cry, which takes place in one month.
There is a probability that after oil Au-
burr and Tuscaloosa will meet on the
gridiron this year and that the game will
be played in Montgomery.
The following letter was received yes
terday from Manager Bragg of Auburn:
I'VE have lost nearly all of last years
regular players and substitutes of the
regular team. Parke, captain, and Sloane
are the only ones who have rsturned.
1t was rather peculiar circumstance
that almost the entire team of last year
were members Of the senior class, and.
Of course were lost by graduation. How
ever, we have some fairly good material
among the new men; but 1t requires two
or three years to make a first class player
out OF green mar.
Notwithstanding the obstacles that
We Will have to overcome, MI Williams,
man, is not discouraged but seems spur
red on by the disadvantages under which
we are laboring. He has good control of
the men, and will put them through
severe course of training. The applicants
are now at the training table, and work
has begun In manner which promises
good results.
THE following men have been on the
McAdory. Allison, Taylor. Lay. Chase.
Landrum, Lipscomb, Jackson. Hazard,
Armstrong, Roche, Frazier. Cawthorn,
Cabiness. Webb. Hill, Paterson. Watson.

October 10, University of Nashville or

October 26, Vanderbilt at Montgomery.

lima.
November 16, Tulane.

Dates with Texas and Alabama are
not definitely settled, but one of them
will be played at Montgomery.
"Auburn's team will be practically
new aggregation, and will contain fewer
old players than any team in the South"
Tuscaloosa Makes Report.
There is an old saw that there is moth

making this aphorism obsolete.
On November II the Auburn team was
IOT LHc ITSL Time I0dI season scored
against. Foreman and Plowman Of the
Tuscaloosa team by repeated PUSHES
showed Foreman over the Auburn line
in the flag end of the first half. The in
dividual work of the Tuscaloosa men in
that game was excellent but it was very
apparent that they were badly in need
of team work.
Mike Harvey has charge of Tuscaloosa
this year yetar and 1t is a very safe prop
osition to say that he will make as fast
an eleven out of the material that he has
begun to whip into shape as can be found
anywhere.
The following letter was received from
Manager Mcqueen Of Tuscaloosa yester-
day:
university of Alabama, Sept. 20, 1901.
Editor The Advertiser.
The University football team began
practice yesterday afternoon. At present
for the team, with good prospects for
that number to be swelled to thirty-f1ve
or forty. Prospects for a good team are
better than ever before. Almost all OF
the old players have returned. and there
Is also plenty of good new material.
Coach Harvey has entered into his
work full of determination and as the
boys are going to do everything in their
power to help him, the university is
bound to have good, snappy team this
season. Some of the old players who
take great interest in the team. are go
ing to help Mr.. Harvey in his work: and
by the time the University meets Geor-
gia in Montgomery on November 9, We
cellent game. Our tactics this year will |
be entirely new. |
THE schedule for this season. as ar
ranged 50 far, is: Mississippi on the cam
