Booker Smiser Talks About Next
Years Team. Funny Charge
Against "Red" Smith
Being Profess
sional.

Booker Smiser, who has been here
spending the holidays with his rela-
tives and friends. left Friday for Leba-
non, to re-enter Cumberland Uni
versity.
Booker is well known as the star
quarter rack Of this seasons famous
foot ball team Of Cumberland. He
says the team next year will be
stronger than the one Of this year. and
that they are going out after the
championship of the South next year.
All the old players will be back, be-
sides several new ones, whose records
on smaller teams the past season were
such that some Of them may make 1t
on the big team the coming year. In
this connection, Smiser stated that
RED Smith. the great center. was
still at school ana had never left IL.
The publication IN the Herald some
weeks ago that Smith had gone to his
home In Hickman county 20 remain
until next fall was therefore mistake.
He passed through Columbia on his
way home, hut stayed there only three
or four days, visiting mis- parents. He
returned within that week to Lebanon
and has been there ever since. and will
remain there until school closes In the
summer. The statement that Smith had
gone to hin home to remain until the
next foot ball season opened, WAS copied
from the Herald into the Nashville, Mem

they saw In 1t an excuse for the charge
that Smith was q professional; as,
according to the report. he left school
immediately after the foot bail season
closed.
OF course, every body N this section
VINO knows RED Smith knows
that the charge of professionalism
against him would be silly. for this

and. ~ we understand 1t, his first
year at college.
The Heral3 reporter understood
Smith to say when he WAS seen at the

would remain at nome this winter.
but 1T seems that Smith was misunder-
