STAUFFER KICKS HARD

gia he has offered games without sue cess to Sewanee, Louisiana State, Tulane, Georgia Tech and Alabama, and has in fact made propositions to these teams to play games either at home or else where, only to get the icy init. He de- clares in addition that the squad he will bring here to play Vanderbilt expects to win, and will certainly be much stronger than last season. A glance at the Uni- versity of Mississippi schedule will show that only two real contests in the S. l. A. A. appear, those with Vanderbilt and Mis- sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical, the only other game with team of any strength whatever being Texas Agricui- tural and Mechanical, now being coached by Charlie Moran, well known profes- sional baseball player of this city, who caught for Montgomery the latter part of the past season. This game is to be played at the end of long jaunt to the Lone Star state.

THE HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN WILL
 PLAY THEIR FIRST GAME TODAY
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

| Wood to make the team. On the team | last year Wood was one of the mos' consistent ground gathers and was very swift player. Tribble is new man, but has tried out for the team before. Botn | of the candidates weigh about 145 pounds and if Tribble fails to make quarter he will try for another position. | For the ends six men are candidates 1 Stephenson, McNei. Beatty, Lathem, | Bowron and Street-are all contesting for these positions, and no definite decision has been made, the honors lie with | Stephenson, Beatty and McNei1. | Victorine and bowman are working for | center. Victorine, a new man, will, in all probability win out. Victorine is six footer, weighing about 150 pounds, and is exceedingly fast. Although Low man is swift he is not as heavy or as large as victorine
 Weir and Tribble are the only two con testants for the tackles, but several new men will be tried out for the position. It is not thought that the two men toned above will be the two tackles, as several others are expected to try out for the place. About five of the new men are also contesting for the position.
 Probably the most hotly contested fight is that of Antwine Foster, Brown and Tate for the two guards. The men seem to be evenly matched and the coach will have some dlfflculty In picking the Win ners. All of the men are evenly matched in size, weight, and swiftness. and a choice of the winners would be, In all probability, decided by the toss lp of c coin
 No lineup has been announced for the game with the Owenton reserves, but the lineup will be decided before tomor- row.
 Yesterday afternoon the Highs scrir- aged with the Howard college team On Friday week the Highs will play the Howard reserves. It is not definitely known where the games wil be played as negotiations are on to play the game at the State Fair It is thought that the game would be very appropriate as the day on which they are scheduled to play is the school children's day at the fair. It is thought that some effort will be made to arrange the game to be played at the State. Fair.
 The game, which is to be played Friday. will begin at 3:30 o'clock at the old ball grounds at West End. The Highs are confident of victory as they feel they are better trained and swifter than the Min isters.

The prospects for good team and season of football at the central high school are exceedingly rosy. About % have been practieing daily the tryout for the team and Coach Courleaux states that the men have shown up splendidly.
 The team will play its first game of the season at West End park today, when the high school will contest with the Owenton reserves. It is thought that the Reserves will outweigh the Highs by at least 10 pounds. Coach Courle aIx states that the team will weigh about 14O pounds, while the reserves are expected to weight about 150 in avoirdupos.
 At the beginning of the school year but three of the old men reported for the tryouts. When Coach Courleaux started his practices he found all the material except these three men to be new and inexperienced. About 25 new men start ed out to make the team. However since the beginning of school on September the men have been trained hard as to the rudiments of the game. The coach is we'll pleased with the development of the new material.
 The tryouts for the positions on the team are being contested for by two and three men to each position. For fullback, Robinson and Barker are the most likely candidates, although other men are trying for that position. Robinson outweighs Barker by about 10 pounds and is much larger, but Barker Is good line plunSer and the fight for full will be hotly con tested.
 For right half Strange and Wingo are the most promising of the candidates. Strange out weighs Wingo and is an old man on the team, and he will probably win out in the fight. For left half Bar ker, Morton and Lathem are the most likely candidates, but 1t is thought that Morton will win out in that position. He was on the team last year. and his ex perience and weight will give him the place.
 Tor quarterback, Wood and Trible are working hard, with the odds favoring

Stauffer of the University of Mississippi football team. complained strongly of the inability of his squad to get games with other strong teams in this section, and declares that he has been compelled with regrets to go outside the s. l. A. A. to procure contests. The intimation is plain that there is d reason for the alleged gen. eral sidestepping of his squad, and that is that Mississippi has developed an ag- gregation to be feared. Coach Stauffer is particularly positive in his charges against the University of Georgia. which he de- clares went back on early season assur- ances after he had taken a date which would allow that team to meet Wander bit, a later engagement being promised him.

Brooklyn, October 5-Even with the pennant safe, New York did not let up in the second game of the series with Brooklyn today. The Giants went right to work and piled up a lead of six runs in the first inning. This was enough to win for Maxwell held the locals well in hand throughout the contest, especially when men were on bases. Barger, who started for Broos- lyn, was greeted so warmly right at the start that Steele was rushed to the rescue. The former Pittsburger held New York scoreless Score: RH.E.

 The Duches de Chaulnes, daughter of Theodore P. Shonts, has been passing the summer with her baby and her mother in Cap May. She is a devoted mother, and gives her time largely to the young duke. "I learned among the French women." said she recently, that in France mothers are mothers indeed. While American women may leave their children to nurses and servants, French no wonder that American children at times grow up a disgrace to their parents"
 The duches adheres to her rigid princi- pie of giving her time to the training of her son, now 21a years old. She means to remain here throughout the summer, and return to France for the winter. Her father was anxious to see the grandson, and so the duchess brought him to this country. The duchess, who is only . years old, looks exceedingly grlish.
