Faint Echoes From Many Gridirons

Auburn, September 17.-John Davis, Au- burns football captain of last year, en- tered college late yesterday afternoon, and this morning Auburn men are backing their 1911 football team against the South ern field. Without Davis, backfield pros- poets were slim. Bradley Streit, Auburn $ all southern full back, is not here. and there is no hope for his return. And for l long time it looked as if parental ob- iections would keep Davis out of the game. Mr.. Davis, the elder. succumbed to the heartfelt appeal from a student body that loves his son, and John Davis s back in the game.
 With Davis and Manning in the pack field, Auburn has two big plunging backs who are as good as any whom even the .edoubtable Vanderbilt eleven can offer. Manning played hls first season last year. He is natural athlete. He came out TOT the squad, having never played football before in his life, and before the end of he season he was accounted one of Orange and Blue regulars, with knacls as good as Bradley streit's for tearing holes in the line. This year he is heavier md has the confidence of experience.
 From. half dozen candidates, Coach Mike Donahue will select his other half back. The material for the position is light, all of it, except one man. Kearley a senior. whose football experience is linl- ited to one season of class football at Auburn, is a heavy and fast man who looks good for the position. Other candi- d fap ,,f ,,-l, Frank Hart of Montgomery; Woodburn of Gainesville, Ga. All of these men showed up remarkably we'll in class foot. ball last winter. class football is Auburn training school for varsity.
 Kirk Newell, the little quarterback of last season, is back again on the job, and there seems no one with a possible chance of nosing him out of that position. Tn forward passes and on side kicks, Newell has not superior in southern football. Country Moore, another of last seasons rlass football stars, Is being worked $ a possible all round backfield substitute s is perhaps Coggswell. Both of the men are light. but fastt and as elusive as cells. Moore, especially is picked as counter part of Rabbit Harris, Auburn's famous pony halfback of few seasons ago.
 Bill Streit of Birmingham, an ancient star of Auburn, and one of the best tackles of the south's football history, will be in Auburn some time next week to assist Donahue in coaching the team dur ing the season. C. G. Gaum, an Auburn instructor, will be an assistant coach, too, and will lend his efforts toward the de- Yelopment of the scrub team. Gaum i1as worked with the scrub team for several years, and it is conceded that one of the reasons for the successful varsity teams during that time is Gaum's abl- ity to produce game and gritty scrubs. Dan Martin. one of the legendary heroes of Auburn football is in Auburn for a few days. but he is here for the purpose of coaching, and will leave shortly.
