PROSPECTS GROW
 BRIGHT AT AUBURN

With the return of Ressijac and Lamb and the possible return of Meadows, An burn football stock has taken a con- siderable jump in the last few days. These players All the very important po- sitions of tackles and fullback Lamb and Meadows at tackles ought to put up the best games of their college careers Res siiac was handicapped last year because of fever. but nevertheless showed flashes of form that stamped him as a first class fullback. He has shown up this year in flrstclass physical condition and is going to be a hard man to stop There have been two hard scrimmages so far in which the varsity has been able by strenuous work to score against a strong scrub team in which "Babe" Taylor of Birmingham is conspicuous. The work Is severe, while it lasts, but hard scrim maging is only indulged in every other day
 Newell who was cut down by fever last year, is being tried out at halfback and with the worry of running the team eff his shoulders his running game ought to be greatly improved. Rip" Major, cap tain, has been shifted to quarter. Two other promising backfield candidates from last years freshmen team are Hains and Bidez. Christopher, a scrub of last year, is also doing well. Othcr baclSfield men who have had some experience are: Hart, Coggswell and Wingo. The center is be- ing looked after by Pitts with Esslinser running a close race for the position. A left guard is Thigpen. who has had some experience in that position. At right guard is Lockwood. who in soine ways is tower of strength, but is hand icapped because of his heavy weight. The ends are about as they were last year, with Kearly, Robinson, Arnold, Maxim and Faucet on hand The best all around player on the squad is Louisell, who is now playing tackle. but who is equai- ly at home in the backheld. He is also a good punter Other promising new mea are Culpepper, Elicit and Elliott.

NEW YORK PAPER
 PRAISES DEMAREE

The New York Evening Post comments very favorably on the debut of Al Dem aree, the ex-Southern leaguer, who re- gently won his first game with the Giants by shutting out Boston. It says:
 Demaree's debut in the closing game yesterday was sensational. If ever young twirler showed promise in his first big league assignment, 'Shutout AP' did just that. He held the Braves to seven hits, the only two punched being those Of Titus and Houser after two were out In the ninth inning. Demaree scored
 strikeouts. and, for a new twirler, that is quite a stunt even against the Braves. Arthur Devlin received Demaree's lone free ticket. KiEke tripled to open the tiArd inning of this Sfracas, yet Denaree kept him from scoring. The promising debu- tant has peculiar motin in pitching. but seems to have plenty of speed. He used a fast incurve and deep drop most effec- lively yesterday.

Nashville, September 2e.-tSpecial)- That Vanderbilt football talent and tile McGugin and Yost system of football playing and instruction is accorded a high valuation, Is evidenced by the fact that this season approximately 20 for mer members of Commodore squads arc located in various parts of the south, par ticularly in Tennessee institutions, teach ing the coming generation the gentle art of gridiron proficiency. The list includes many stars of former days
 It would appear rather unusual. but the two coaches turned out by McGugn who saw the longest service in coaching college teams were both subs. These were Alex Cunningham and Frank Blake. The former is now coaching the University O: Georgia and the latter, now retired. head ed Mercers gridiron forces for several seasons. Cunningham this season stands the best chance of any former pupil of the McGugin school to put it over h;s alma mater and teacher of past days,

Stahl Confident of Beating Giants

Washington. September 2s.-((special)- If confidence counts for anything, then the Red Sox will not find the Giants troublesome in the worlds series. On his arrival in this city today. Jake Stahi, manager of the Boston Red Sox, had the following to say about his pennant win ming team:
 T don't expect to have any trouble winning from the Giants" said Stahl q believe We have the better team and should win. Of course, luck frequently cuts a figure in a. series of seven games, but we are willing to take our chances with that. I can't see where the Giants have anything on us. We have been a consistent team all season, and when the two teams are compared I think we stand out. Our pitchers. I am sure. will show up to an advantage. Wood Collins, oBrien, Bedent and Hall have

Humidity

From the Kansas City Star
 Humidity is q term which is coming into general use. and is often spoken of with out a definite understanding of what 1t means. It refers always, of course. to the moisture in the atmosphere. but does not always mean the same proportion.
 There is at all times some moisture in the air, and the amount. expressed in the number of grains to the cubic foot of air, is the al solute humidity term sell dom used When we speak of it we us- ually mean the relative humidity. which is the difference between the amount of moisture in the air and the amount it could hold at the present temperature if it were saturated.

VALUE OF NEW RULES MADE
 EVIDENT IN EARLY GAMES
By J. s. CoUNsELMAN

The great advantage of the new rules over those of 1911 was clearly shown by football results of Saturdays contests.
 glance at the scores makes evident the fact that scoring touchdowns is no such difficult feat as in past seasons. The most notable example of the effect of the new rules was the defeat of Cor nell university by Colgate college on two slillfully executed forward passes
 It is possible that neither of these passes would have been attempted last season, and one of them would have been illegal under the 1911 rules, which did not allow the forward pass to cross the goal line. One of the passes made by Colgate against Cornell was caught
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-30

beyond the goal line and resulted in a touchdown. The other was caught with in three yards of this line and would probably not have been tried under last years rules so near the goal line for fear it would cross this line.
 There can be no doubt that football has been given great boon by the intro- duction of four plays or downs to gain the required 10 yards. and the unrestrict- ed use of the forward pass
 The former of these innovations will continue to prove highly beneficial to slow, heavy teams while the latter makes possible, as has already been dem onstrated, for a light, fast and skillful eleven to defeat a more powerful op- ponent

Window Panes Upon Which Henry of

Window Panes Upon Which Henry oS
 Navarro Had Not Written.
 Mrs. Andrew Lang. writing In Black woods, tells of Frenchman in whose chateau was window on which Henry w. had once scratched the inscription: .'Dicu garde de mal ma mic; Ce 22 de Septembre, 1889. Henry" The inscTip- tion when M EudeI first saw it was in two lines of big. clumsy letters. Two years later, being again in the neigh borhood. he revisited the chateau. when he was astonished to find that the inscription was now in three lines, with the letters much more nearly uni form. After some effort he got hold of the secret. For forty years the inscrip ton on the window had been the guides pride and pleasure till. in one fatal moment of inattentiOn on his part, an Englishman had cut the pane of glass out of it's setting and walked away with it in his pocket
 The poor guide hurried to tell his master what had befallen him. The owner of the chateau assured him that the accident was of no consequence and could soon be put right And so 1t was! A piece of glass of the same tone as the other panes was procured and fastened lightly in its place. The guide received orders to turn his back so as to allow visitors to read the inscrip tion-or, if they wished, to steal 1t.
 But it was necessary for the man to perceive in the nick of time what was going on and only consent to shut his eyes on the receipt of handsome tip (the amount fixed befOrehandI. two thirds of which was to go to his mas
