 knows the game. He filled the right guard position last year and will probab- | ly fill that position this year Should Allen return he will take care of the left 1 hand position. Allen Is also an exper-
 fenced man and was one of the coach's most valued men last season. l For the central position there will be 8 number Of candidates Should Caton
 return they will all probably give way to him and try for other positions. Ca- ton was unanimously voted by sporting authorities last gear as the logical man l for the all-southern center title. His work in the game between Auburn and Tech pronounced him as a man of un- usual ability. Burn will be strong candidate for a position on the team and is rich in gridiron experience. The work of Burns last year was above the ordi- nary and great things are expected of him for the coming season.
 The majority of the bunting will be done by Major. Major starred in this line last season. Uis punts frequently average 40 yards and he rarely ever lost his head. He played right guard last year during the greater portion of the season and he will probably be found

 Newell will be back to fill the quarter position. Page who starred in the back field will probable return while Man ming, Cruse and Steadham have not been heard from but are expected to put In tfer appearance.
 A number of class men are expected to return and those who fail to make the team will aid in the scrub line Some of the most promising class men are Pitts. Standifer Ressijac, Argo, Kear- ley, Moore, Cogswell Clay. Ellis. Hurt. Woodburn Morris. Garner, Webb and Atkins.
 Tom Bragg will be on the job another year as graduate manager. Robert Ma lone has been elected student manager and Bonner captain. Coach Donahue will have an assistant and he will prob ably be Bill Streit of Birmingham.

The summer stiffness that has been breeding over the gridiron at Auburn for the last thres months will be broken soon by Coach Donahue and his squad of pig skin warriors Already the coach is on the job awaiting the early arrivals and will begin practice immediately after a 1 nucleus has matriculated.
 Looking at the team from an angle talk en in August it bids fair to be a good one. At least four of the veterans will return, good number of class men have announced their intention of returning and there will be the new candidates to pick from.
 Auburn will suffer to some extent this year, however, by the failure of some of the old guard to return One of the greatest losses will be that of Bradley Stret. This man was credited last year with being one of the greatest line plung- CTS in the south. All of the sporting au- thorities picked him for the all-southern fullback position and stated that in their | opinion he was second to none Streit is now in business in Oregon and the chances of his returning are slim
 
 Harmon. This man was one of Auburn's most consistent players last year and to say that he will be missed is putting it mildly. Harmon had the knack of filling practically any position at which he was placed, having played center, guard, and more generally, as right tackle. Since the close of school he has been in the employment of a large electrical concern in New York and he has recently an nounced that he will not return. A third veteran to fail to answer to the roll call to be held in September is Me- Coy Mccoy is a Birmingham boy and has used up the last of the four years allotted to him by the association in which to play the game. He was late in getting in the game last year on account of illness but was valuable man before the season had closed. Davis, the popu- lar ex-captain. has not yet decided to return. Davis will be missed as much or more than any other man. Always cool, quick and sure man on his feet he was one Coach Donahue's most valued men.

 "The league will lose a man it can never replace" said Billy the other day. If it loses Judge kavanaugh. He Is one of the brainest man in the game to- day and to him alone is the Southern league responsible for possessing a Class A standing.
