Switches Tackle
To Guard.

The difficulty is rounded by selecting
one of the numerous exceptionally good
tackles and putting him in the posi-
ton. This may not seem quite fair to
strictly guard candidates, nor would l
do It in years when ! considered the
regular guards of the year able to hold
their own and maintain a standard OF
play reasonably up to that of the rest
of our team
1t Is particularly advisable that we
this year switch a tackle into the
guards place, or account of the fact
that this all-S. |. A. A, represents, in
general, the best rounded out eleven
players of the year, and to exclude any
one Of at least three tackles that can be
named wouldn ct only work a great
hardship on that one man, but would
make our team look like Il chain with
one weak link when we had plenty OF
good strong links lying around idle
that we could insert at the weak spot
with the greatest ease.
Now. ! do not say that this substi-
tuition would be possible or advisable
at every or any old position. Thus it
would be a wild guess to say that
good guard would make an equally good
fullbacS, or that fine halfbacN would
do equally well at snapper. But guard
and tackle are ntirely alike In their
work, the only difference being that
tackle Is a harder place to play sue
cessfully than guard, requires more ex-
perience and agility and, generally
speaking. takes better man to play it,
But, this admitted, it follows clearly
that if a man can play tackle success
fully he can certainly play an entirely
satisfactory guard,
Barker at Left Guard.
For these reasons I have decided to
put Barker. of Mississippi at left
guard. This man weighs 1870 pounds
has played exceptionally well at tackle
for three years. and is able to run 100
yards in 10 10 seconds. He is one Of
the fercest tacklers to be found any
where, and backs up a line in faultless
fashion. Now, how can such a player
be kept off my team merely because
there are two other men who play the
tackle position about as well as he
does? And when there is no salts
factory regular guard to nominate for
our second guard position?
And the reason | want the other two
men to whom refer for regular tackles
on both offense and defense is that they
do their best work in the line, while
Barker is a star of the first magnitude
when It comes to backing up the line
in secondary defense Playing the
guards position on ottense, he could
be drawn back when 1t came to de-
Tense and play in that secondary de-
fensive line. He and Reulle, OF Mis-
sissippi \. < NJ. would make the best
backers-up of any men OF the year.
This would leave Morgan and Thigpen
to hold things steady in the middle OF
the line and would be a capital ar
rangement. I let IL go at that.

Center Again Goes
To Vanderbilt.

F~HE first class centers of the year
L have not been as numerous as here
tofore, and | am going to seriously
consider but four Of them These are
Adams, Of Mississippi: Dutton of L. =.
u; Loeb, of Tech, and Morgan, Of
Vanderbilt
Adams and Dutton are much alike in
size, general ability and style of play.
They are excellent snappers. know the
possibilities of their position, and are
grand football players. Either Of them
would prove entirely acceptable in the
position on any team in the South
land. They are experienced linesmen'
and play with great Vigor. It would be
a hard task to decide which is the bet
ter of the two.
Loeb, of Tech, is all this--lacking one
thing. and that is weight At first
thought II would seem absurd to dis
euss for this position man who weighs
but l55 pounds Yet Loeb is possessed
If such tremendous energy, such abso-
lutely indomitable lighting spirit and
such splendid vitality that he COM
pels consideration; he overcomes a han
dicap of from ten to twenty pounds in
an opponent by these factors with ease.
Thus. while differing from the other
two in general style, he ranks on par
with them and q selection from one of
the three would be just as difficult
(and just as easy) to make as one from
the first two. | will say for Loeb that
when it comes to pure grit he merits
the highest possible ranking.

Women and Children First.

Women and children first This
order from the deck of the Titanic
has suddenly set the world afire rs
if with new ideal. Artists have
illustrated it with striking cartoons,
ministers have thundered it from tie
pulpits and newspaper and magazine
writer's have drawn its obvious NOR
al and new ideal. Building and loan
officers have preached and persuaded
it in the United States for eighty
one years until millions OF beautiful
American homes have been erected
worth billions of dollars to the re
public, and still over one billion do.
lars is deposited with the associa-
tions to build other homes-all done
and being done by the fathers, hus-
bands and sons to the one vital and
revivifying ideal Of the great repub-
/ lie.
Procrastination is the Titanic Of
the great social seas wherein danger
and death lrk and wait for all, and
every dollar saved through a build
ing and loan association is a life
boat in which women and children
first are to be rescued and sheltered
when the captain Of the family takes
his last plunge from the bridge OF
his domestic ship.
Is it any wonder that the race
of men who have learned to sacrl-
flee day by day for the safety of
these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building
and Loan Associations have had more
to do with intoxicating this practical
ideal and making all men alike in the
presence of the threatened family
than any other social business move
ment.
The Building and Loan Associations
have for eighty-one years, on this
continent been and will continue to
be the practical lifeboat for wo-
men and children endangered in the
mid ocean of life.

From the orchard, too, on an autumn

The old Peruna contained no cathsrtic ingredient and was therefore very useful medi- cine to me.

 To this letter I made the following reply: Yes, the new Peruna does contain a laxative element You should therefore take the old Peruna (Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative quality. While prescribing the old Peruna I found it quite necessary ire quently to prescribe the laxative Man. alin i1 connection with it.

 "Why does it take him so long?" the other asked.
 Because the barn Is so far away from the house.
 Well, that may be a pretty big farm, but compared to my fathers farm in Pennsylvania your fathers farm ain't no bigger than a city lott"
 Why, how big Is your fathers farm?"
 Well, it's so big that my father sends young married couples out to the barn to milk the COWS, and the milk is brought back by their grand children"

A PENALTY OF AGE

The tendency of advancing years to restrict activity and exercise is re- sponsible for the constipated condition of most elderly people. The wear of years impairs the action of the bow els and the digestive organs are more sensitive to tAe demands upon them and rebel mora quickly Cathartics and purgatives are violent and dras- tic in their acticn and should not be used to correct constipation. A mild, yet positively effective remedy, and enc that Is recon -mended by physt- cians as well as by thousands who have used 1t, is the compound of sim pie laxative herbs with pepsin pre- scrnbed by pr. w. B. Caldwell over thirty years ago and now sold by drug gists everywhere under the name of Dr. CaldweIl's Syrup Pepsin. pr. Caldwell wants everyone troubled with constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and will send a trial bottle, free of charge, to all who write for it. Address Dr. w. B.
