DoNAHUE OF YALE COACH

Anniston, September 3.-(Special)-The Alabama Polytechnic institute seems to be quite f1atterirg. and the alumni and college supporters of the institution are very expectant as to the showing that will be made the approaching season. This years captain Is Randolph Reynolds, son of MT. and Mrs. Mallory Reynolds of An nlston. He has been playing the game tor several years, and is well versed in the fine points as well as having q practical Knowledge of the game. His brilliant work in the Augurn-Georgia contest last Thanksgiving won for him many laurels and words of praise. This year he is heavier than last and will weigh 155 pounds stripped. He is fast on his feet as well as in getting off, and in all prob ability will make a model back for this years team.
 MT. Reynolds will report for his school duties Wednesday, September 2, when the football squad will be formed. The coach this season will be Donahue of Yale, and it goes without saying that the tackle back formation will be used by the Ala bama Tech boys.
 MT. Reynolds says that but two or three of last years team are expected to return this year, but that several of the O2 team will again enter college. and can be expected to take part in the foot ball games. He says that the team last year would be probably twenty pounds lighter to the man than that of this year If his expectations are carried out.
 Considered Valuable Find.
 A. J. Donahue, who will coach this sea- son, has played and explained the Yale scrub team for the past two years, and he is considered a valuable find for the Auburnites Billy" Williams, who coached the team a few years ago, and who Is now practicing law in New York, had much to do with the selection of the coach, and he considers nlm one of the best in the business. The scrub will be coached by the alumni players. Stokes, captain of the fast team of '97, and Micham, of the 01 team have signi- fled their intention of assisting at their Alma Mater, and will probably be on the ground when the squad reports for prac- tice. It will be of interest tc those know ing much of the past history of Auburn that two old Auburn stars Dan Martin and Mike Harv ey. will coach teams in lhlSSlSSlppl lHlS StdSOn. lne lOrneF VIII coach the A. and M. college team, and will have nearly all of last years team to return. This college was little thought of until last season in the laying of the schedule of winners, but a formidable showing was made when the University of Alabama was surprised and downed by the unheard-of team. The team is heavy one and can be expected to be heard from before the season gets far under way. Mike Harvey will coach the University of Mississippi team. He is a player of fine experience and mayl bring out good team this season.
