Auburn, October 22.-(Special. .)-With Mercer, Florida and Clemson out of the way Auburn is now getting down to strenuous work preparing for the strong team from Mississippi A. X NJ This Is the first doubtful game on Auburr's schedule and Auburn is working with that end in view In the Clemson game the Auburn team showed that it was fair iy we'll advanced in the Fundamentals Of football and is now ready for something more advanced Clemson displayed a strong team with more weight and power than was expected and fought the usual scrappy fight that every Clemson team puts up In the second quarter their offense pushed the Auburn defense hard before the Clemson Mass plays were diagnosed and stopped. With the simple football used Auburn showed up fairly well on the nffense~ being never forced to kick and losing the ball only twice on downs Reports from A. & NJ. indicate a stronger team than last year, when Au- burn won only after close and very ex- citing struggle. The game this year bids fair to be on the same order. With the exception of Burns and Thigpen. guards, the Auburn squad Is in first-class physical condition. Burns twisted his knee against Clemson, while Thigpen is suffering with a bad cold.

 AS CARDINAL MANAGER

 Mrs. Britton and her advisers arc said to be sanguine of success in de- posing Bresnahan should the case reach the courts. but should they fail they rlan to continue the manager on the bench.
 Mrs. Britton pleaded that nothing be made public but when asked if she de- sired to make a direct denial in the n.ein she said:
 No. I don't deny it. But I cant see how 1t leaked out. l thought none of us was to say anything about it.
 The majority owner and Bresnahan were not acting in harmony and the woman refused to approve certain trades which Bresnahan was about to close, it is alleged. It Is reported Mil Ter Huggins has been selected as sue cessor in the event Bresnahan sur- renders his contract
 Although he holds four-year con- tract with the team. one year of which he has already consummated, Bresnn- han was told that his services were no longer desired. Mrs. Helen Hath away Britton. owner of the none ed interest in the club J. c. Jones, pres ident, and Lon 0. Hooker, attorney, were present when Bresnahan was discharged.

Christopher and Bidez are fighting it out for the sub stitute fullback position. As Bidez has missed considerable practice. Christopher is in the lead just now. There are four other backIleld possibilities in Arnold. Hart, Harris and Sparkman. Arnold Is rapidly developing ability to carry the ball either from the line or from the half back position. Hart ras been sick, but is not getting into good physical condi- ton. His hard taclIing will be a big helu in the coming game. Harris is a comer but lacks experience. The same might be said of Sparkman. Wingo knows as much football as any of them. but Is very light. The ends, favored now be- cause of their weight. are Kearley and Robinson. They are constantly improving i'll their ability to carry the ball.
 Defense Not Weak
 Auburn has been very unfortunate on Drake Field this season in being scored against by Florida. which Is something rather unusual for an Auburn team. A wet and slippery ball rather than weak ness in defense, however. has been re- sponsible and Auburn is hoping that oc- currences such as these are over with foI this fall

MANDY" IN GOOD SHAPE
 AFTER GEORGIA STRUGGLE

Nashville, october 22.-(Special)- Coach Dan McGugin has started the Commodore football squad along at a good clip following the Georgia game, which, on account of the unexpectedly easy going, the softness of the field and the use of several subs, allowed his men to come out of the fray in hne shape. only Collins and Sil<es suffered any from the game and these were not badly jarred up as both were allowed to go back into the contest during the latter stages. Captain Hard age was injured to the extent of a bruised finger which will interfere with nothing more than shaking hands for two or three days but in other re- spects the squad is starting toward the Mississippi and subsequent games without any apparent handicap.
 McGugin Pleased
 Coach McGugin is warm in the praise of the work of his men Satur- day He says he knew they were good and he expected them to win, he al- ways attempts to make them believe they can can, this being a part of the McGugin system of play, but he did Lot look for any such one sided re- suit on field of mire Saturdays per fcrmance however, is but a duplica- tion in a way of what happened in the opening game of the season when the squad ran up more than 100 points in shoe deep ooze, the Commodore outfit thus at least showing itself to be the greatest aggregation of mudders' that McGugin has ever had.
 Both Coach McGugin and Captain iardage are outspoken in their grat- iiication over the showing of the suo material in Saturdays game. Every man used for relief work held his own, the work of young Shea at half coming in for special mention. Cap tain Hardage states that Shea is as cool q youngster as he has ever seen and that when in action he Is not at all modest about advancing the ball. He cites as evidence that in his first run after relieving Collins early in the game on a cut in dash off tackle, he refused to dodge McWhorter but in- stead ran rough shod over the famous Georgia halfback.
