DERRILL PRATT
WILL COACH THE
S. .. ELEVEN

Greensboro, August 13.-(Special)-
The Southern university at Greensboro
has brilliant prospects for a success
full football team this season.
Southern university has make mas
ter stroke in securing the services OF
Derrill Pratt late of the University
of Alabama, as coach for 1910, and
under his masterful training the south
ern University boys Will make big
showing on the gridiren this fall.
Mr.. Pratt was for three years star
heffback on the University of Alabama
eleven and the eminent success of that
team, especially in the past year. was
due in a large measure to his great
ability as player. Among the famous
backs of the south Pratt stands in a
class all to himself. In 1903 he was
unanimously selected "all southern half
back" and those who have seen him
in his football toys know that he well
deserves the honor. He is a thorough
master of the game in every detail
and unlike most great players is weak
in no point of the game. Ills extra
ordinary ability as player, both on
the defensive and offensive; his marvel
Gus ability in drop kicking and punt
ing, aided the University of Alabama
wonderfully in her victories of the past
three years.
For three years Mr.. Pratt has worked
under Coach Pollard. the recognized
greatest football coach in the south.
In 1sOs-1910 he coached freshman and
sophomore class teams of the Uniyer-
sity of Alabama and each year turned
out winning teams. That his ability
a. a coach Is recognized throughout the
south is evidenced by the fact that Mis-
eissippi college and University or Ala :
bama have been seeking diligently TO
secure his services.
The Southern university made her
debut in the football world in 1903
and from her scanty resources of prac-
ttcally new men turned out a remark
ably fast team, That her team prom
ises to be unusually strong this sea-
son is evidenced by the fact that al
most the entire 1909 team will return
and occupy their old positions. The
Greensboro men are of the light and
fast order, such as will prove advan-
tageous under the new rules. Forward
passing and runs, on-side punts will
form the major part of the plays, and
in this style of playing -the Southern
university boys will work we'll. l..
Thompson will return to take charge of
the quarter field, while Ray will re-
sumo his old position at center and II.
w. Thompson, who starred at ,efi end,
will defend the left wing. u. c. AL
len, Bell, j. T. Allen, d. Y. Register
and Bullock will return and throw
their weight into the line and help
their team to victory.
good schedule has been arranged,
in which are included games with the
foremost colleges in the state, among
which are Howard college, Marion in
stitute, Birmingham college, S. p. u,
University of Mississippi, Mississippi
college, Springhill college, Mobile Med
teal college and in all probability Uni
varsity Of Alabama. With seven of
the old men on hand to start things
OF and large number to draw from,
and with Pratt as coach, everything
bids fair for successful season for
the Greensboro eleven.

The state grain inpsection law Of
the state of Washington is in dam
ger of becoming entirely obliterat-
ed, and a great many farmers and
grain dealers who have found it an
unnecessary nuisance are highly
pleased at the decision of the SUI
preme court last week, sustaining a
Tacoma case in which the court held
that when the shipper of grain is
also the consignee, there is no need
of any state inspection. The
Northern Pacific railway defended
the case in the lower court, being
responsible for the inspection ac-
cording to the state law. Then the
state railway commission took it up
to the higher court, but with the
same result. The law was found UNI
necessary when any firm or indivi-
dual was shipping its own grain.
The amount of grain inspection will
be reduced to quarter of what it
is now, the most of the grain in the
state being handled by big concerns
having their own warehouses and
doing their own shipping.
