much comment. Il. e. Harris is playing
left guard. Ills playing this year Is wen
up to his work in the past Benet IS pay
ing . remarkable game, and VIII douDl-
less ba the all-southcrn tackle for the
present year. Williams, st. Alban's
man. is playing right end and is one or
the most certain men on the team.
Moore, at right guard, takes good care
OF that position. Bradley Walker,
thought by many people to be as great a
tackle as can be foundSin the South, has
played his usual brilliant game curing
the season. Virginia feels greatly the
loss of lIobson, the All-Southern right
end Of last year, who is not playing at
this time His position will be filed by
Nalle, who has for years been one OF the
best athletes in Virginia The backs Will
probably be Tutwiler, quarter; +. H2F-

Church, ST. John, Cook, Bachman, Car
roll, NicGill, Johnson and Mason.

THE SEWANEE TEAM.
SEWANEE, TENN. November %
During the past ten days the Sewanee
football team has improved greatly,
and by Tharksgiving-Day. when the
game with thc University of Virginia
will be played in Richmond, the team
will he as good. and perhaps better, than
that Of last season. Sewanee was great
~ handicapped at the beginning of the
foot ball season, by the reason that the
ma jority Of last years team failed to
return 20 college. However, the mate
rial on hand was good, and only needed
experience and training to make good
players. AS the season has progressed
the new men have developed, until now
that meets the University Of Virginia
will be tirst-cla<ss enc.
The most disastrous defeat that SeWa-
nee has sustained in years was the game
with the University of Nashville the early
part Of this month. The defeat was due
to Nashville's greatly superior weight,
and the fact that SO many of the regular
Sewanee players were forced to retire
from injuries during the game. The Nash
$50 pounds. or nearly 33 pounds to the
! man. At the end of the first half the
score was eleven to six in Nashvlle's IA
vor, but shortly after the second half
opened Simkins. Colmore and Phillips of
last years team had to be taken out and
substitutes put IL their places. and the
team finished the game with only one of
last years team still playing.
GREATLY IMPROVED.
The next game Sewanee played was
with Vanderbilt University. Vanderbilt
has strong team this year. eight of the
men being of last years team, and one
Of the best coaches in the South. The
team was heavier than Sewanee and
Vanderbilt expected ID wiz by large
score. The game resulted in a tie.
| though Sewanee once got the ball within
fourteen inches OF Vanderbilt's goal. she
was unable to score. I2nt the game
showed that Sewanee had improved
wonderfully since the Nashville game.
Now that only the Virginia: game re-
mains. the team is hard at work now pre-
! pairing for it. The team will so into the
game Thanksgiving-Dsy in frst-class
| condition, and 1irst-class game can be
| eNpected. Sewaneo is contemplating Q
few changes i'll the makeup CT her team,
/ which will strengthen her greatly,
Ihose who so to see the Thanksgiving
| game can EXPECT a Dattle -ro..aJ
