Some Inside Information

at that position. This year he is rapidly
developing into first class center. Pick
EFT, CAN'T and Thaggard the guards. have
all had experience in class and varsity
football. They are steady men, but not
very aggressive. Penton and Holly are
the most aggressive men in the line.
Penton played at guard last year. His
years experience has helped him con-
siderably, so that he is now one of the
strongest men in the line. At the ends,
| Hughes and Batson are showing up well
| Hughes played center last year and did
| good work, although he is a light man.
| He is strong defensive end Batson
| played at guard last year. He was ag-
| gressive, but light for that position He
is more in his element at end. Lacey is
| hitting the line as hard as ever from
the fullbaclS position. At left half is Whit
ner. He was declared ineligible last year
under the one year rule, although he
played nearly half the season in the line.
| Sparkman at right half, Is a new man
whose development has been very fast.
The average weight of the squad is about
1874 pounds There Is a second string of
backs and ends, which, though lighter,
are very little inferior to the first Wood
ruff and Reynolds at right end, Ware,
left end. Watkins, formerly of Clemson,
left half; Hill. fullback and Harris, right
half. These are faster and better at the
| open game than those in the first set.
Auburn is counting on her strong defense
to hold sewanee's heavy backs. In the
line the teams appear to be evenly
matched. The game will be hard fought

Using Kicking Game.

In the main, however, the Cambridge
athletes have been using the kicking
game in order to get used to the new
tactics; but whenever the quarterback
has called on the backfield for a gain
around the end or through the line it has
answered by sweeping everything before
it. Out at the Stadium the ''23'' tag has
been put on beef, and Reid has a husky
team of 1.-THE six-footers averaging about
ITS or 1870 pounds. In Burr and Kersburg he
has as good pair of guards as are to
be found in the east, and Lockwood, who
stands about six feet, weighs $50, and does

r. A. Wright manager of the Auburn
football team, who has been in the city
for several days. gives out the following
concerning the gridiron representatives of
his college:
.tThe Auburn football squad is hard at
work, busily preparing for the Sewanee
game The work this week consists mainly
of developing the offense and bringing
II IN a par with the defense. Straight
hard fottban has been the rule for the
past day or two. Auburn, however, is
using the forward pass to larger eX-
tent than the majority of the teams play
ing the new game. In this branch OF the
sport the men are rapidly becoming proi1-
cient Some of the men are skilled bas-
ketball players which helps them con
siderahly in handling and passing the
ball
"As the lineup becomes more settled
the team work keeps improving every
day Another fortunate feature is the
fact that none OF the players have re-
ceived any serious injuries as was the
case last year, when the team was broken
up and jemoralized.
The Auburn team this year will be of
fair weight. but not fast as is de-
sired. Indications point to a good defense
and a steady. but somewhat slow offense.
THE present lineup includes Davis
center. Picket, CAN'T and Thaggard

ter; Whitner, (captain), left half; Lacy

Poor old Pennsylvania. who went down

when she meets Brown at Philadelphia.
The Providence team is undoubtedly
strong this year, as is shown by glance
at comparative scores, and the Red and

dose. Yale beat Wesleyan q to 0, while
Brown held up the big end of the score
In a II to engagement with the same
team. Harvard defeated Amherst Agricul-
tural q to 0, and Brown trimmed the
same aggregation by score only four
points smaller.
Princeton and Yale are the only two
teams of what used to be called the big
four that have not had their goals crossed
this season. Brown, Dartmouth and West
Point also have this distinction. Harvard
let Bates get over hers last week on a
beautifully executed trick. Down at Phil
adelphia it has been the exception for the
Quakers to keep their opponents off the
forbidden ground for out of five teams
met North Carolina has been the only
one that has failed to score. One of these
five games was a tie and another was a
defeat From past records Pennsylvania
seems to be about the weakest of the
big teams, while Yale and Harvard are
looming up strong. But as yet it is too
early to begin picking winners. After
