BIG SCHOOLS SCHEDULES

The only clash of much consequence
gridiron this fall will be that between
Yale and Vanderbilt, in New Haven,
October 3D. The Commodores have at
least one big game each season with one
of the larger universities, but the struggle
with Yale this season will be the greatest
the Commodores ever had. Predictions
are that the Commodores will have the
guards on Dudley field, while Yale loses
some valuable men, among whom Is Ted
Coy, the all-American star.
Though the hot weather season is still
here and promises to remain with us for
some time, it seems that even hot weather
days do not interfere with football talk.
The football talk" season has begun,
though it must be admitted that up to
date it lies chiefly with coaches, candi-
dates for different college teams and col
lege boys who think that they are formid-
able material. 1t will be only a few days
now until the "making-the- team con-
versation will be the chief college topic
1t is too early to get much of an idea as
to the outlook at the big colleges for this
year, but most of them are hoping for
good teams and as successful seasons as
heretofore. The seasons schedule at the
leading eastern colleges is as follows:

Atlanta and New Orleans in meeting
at the conclusion of the season could
have no object save the making of money.
President Kavanaugh acted wisely in de-
Ginning to sanction the graft.

of a pennant and a defunct holder of
place in the race battle in half-hearted
fashion for no honor, not even empty
honor?
Great game that in Memphis yesterday
The Turtles on 10 hits could not score, and
Atlanta got one run on balk. Hart has
a penchant for calling balks it seems.
He called that one on Atlanta in Biz

If Memphis can't score one run on 10
hits. the Barons should have easy sail
ing in the series which begins today.

KAYANAUGH WILL
NOT AGREE TO PLAN

Little Rock, August 2s.-(SpeciaI.) Pres
ident Kavanaugh announced today that
he would not sanction the proposed post
season series between New Orleans and
Atlanta. He said that there was no pro-
vision in the league constitution for such
a series, but he believes that 1t would
tend to cheaper baseball and would be
bad as a matter of policy. "Of course, the
members of the two teams can play
series of games as individuals, and I have
no Jurisdiction over them,' said Presi-
dent Kavanaugh. However, the games
will not have the sanction of the Southern
league"
