now. Also. he has some tendency to
drop the ball which he will doubtless
overcome.
Coming back to those first mentioned:
Fletcher is beyond all cavii the very
best quarterback OF the year His play
deserves half column. But right ct
the tail end OF the season Fletcher was
disqualified; SO what's the use in say
ing d word about it? If he is ineligi-
bic to play on his own varsity team
he is equally ineligible for my ais.
A. A.
OF the remainder who have figured in
the various coaches Iine-ups as quar-
terbacks the next best man is probably
Majors. of Auburn, and he IL tip-tOp
player But is he really any more of a
quarterback in his teams system Of
play than any other man in the back
field? He Is not called upon to relay
The snap and he does not play rear
guard in receiving opponents puntS.
IN only one usual respect is he quar-
.terback for his team, and that is IN
calling the signals But I can not give
Majors much when it comes TO his Sig
mailing ability and so l can not select
him for an all Southern quarter on the
strength OF this point
Skies Is Heismans Quarter.
But after eliminating Fletcher and
Majors there are no quarters left that
consider quite worthy to uphold the
standard of the rest OF the team, so
what are we to do? 1t happens that
there is playing this year one man Of
superlative backfeId excellence who
would make an ideal quarterback-one
almost as good as Ray Morrison. That
man is Skies, Of Vanderbilt. He has
been playing fullback and halfback all
season, and he plays one of these as
well as the other It is idle to say he
could not play as good a quarter as
Majors for, as | have pointed out Ma
iors, in fact, plays no more quarter
back under Auburns system of play
than does Skies in Vanderbits system.
What can Skies do? He is one of
the very fastest runners Of the year
He is the best blocker I have ever seen
in the South. His tackIing is the
! tiercest, keenest and surest of any man
south TINS season. Next to ReuIle and
along with Ressiiac. he is the best
bucker down here. He can run the ends
almost as well as Hardage, and GER
tainly quite as well as any other man
OF the year His weight OF 1862 pounds
would be Just the thing for q quarter
back. while his spirlt would keep any
team in the world going at top speed
! an the time. His general play reminds
me more of Morrison's than any man ]
have seen this year and he is certainly
the best rounded football player that
has shown this campaign.
Aud that's why l put Skies at qua
/ terbach. And il he couldn't call signals
satisfactorily Though I believe h,
could, have no doubt that Hardage
could, so what's the difference?

Morgan Good
Heavy Man.

Morgan, Of the Commodores, is the
man who helps rue ont Of my diff
culties FOR he puts 81 & shade on the
others. This is In large part due 20
the fact that he Is many pounds heav-
Ter than any Of the other three, weigh
ing. as he does. about 22o pounds. A
good big man ts surely better than "a
good little man, and that's all there is
20 g. # Morgan couldn't DO any Of
the things that the other trio DO, it
would be q different case. But YOU can
certainly find no fault with Morgan's
swapping nor his charging and block
ing, nor yet his raciyling and generally
fine spirit IN the game. And when you
add his high grade experience to the
list Of his other good points there Is
left nothing to discuss. Morgan would,

his iIustrious predecessors. Ressijae
is a very fine plunger, indeed. He gets
started quickly and with great snap;
he plungos in as though sure the op-
posing line is nothing but a feather bcC,
and he keeps on ramming till something
gives every time. ReSsijaC's defense is
also excellent. Really. though. he ought
to weigh q little more for an au-SOuth-
ern funback.
Webb, of Clemson is q splendid full
back. He weighs only 1855, but Is tai.
and raugy, and slashes in with great
abandon. He is undoubtedly one Of this
best players Clemson has ever devel-
oped. As yet I would not say that ha
had had sufficient experience to be put
on the ais. I. A. A
Probably the best man for the place
is Reulle. of Mississippi A. q NJ. This
man weighs 1872 and is very fast, in
deed. for his weight he has the ideal
build for fullback. In addition to
these natural advantages, he is tip
top forward passeT, and as good kick
er as either Gillem, Majors OF Melon
aid And If it's bucktng you demand OF
fullback, why, here's the man eau
give it to you. There is little doubt
that with his weight and speed com
bined he gets up more momentum than
any other man playing the game down
here this fall
So l give the place to Reulle, with d
regret that ] haven't another one for
Ressijac as well.
Norman. of Mercer, deserves very
honorable mention.

JARBIDGE IS SAID
TO HAVE THE DUMPS

Reports from Jarbidge have It that q
few days ago when the payment was
due on the Success property, George
Wingfield failed TO "jlngle on the ma
hog which, If true indicates that bis
extensive work on this property has not
brought forth the results that he had
anticipated IT is understood that Mr..
Wingfleld made an initial payment OF
more than $4,000 when the option was
taken and the payment just reported as
passed called for about $4,000.
He also is operating the Bluster, prop
erty at Jarbdge. and the second pay
ment is not due until May. II this is
not made II signifies the withdrawal OF
the big Goldfield operator from the dis
trict, and It will be very serious
handicap to the future financing OF the
camp.
1t is reported that the Pavlak -Jarbidge
is heavily involved for wages due the

While the stockholders OF the Federal

strategic position their company occupies
In the Ely copper situation, they are
pardonable for feeling secure in the pos
session of very large and never failing
supply OF pure water these days OF ru-
mored dry spells to come. Papers lately
have been telling Of the light snowfall IN
the hills OF White Pine county, upon
which the big mill at Steptoe depends for
the water to concentrate ores. and wa

ing summer unless nature loosens its
floodgates and spreads more OF the beau
tiful upon the peaks.
Old-umers Of the Ely section recall that
the Heuser ranch seldom Is without water
at all seasons OF the year, and the Heuser
ranch Is one of the valued assets Of the
Federal Ely Copper company, This water
supply, therefore, is likely to prove OF
considerable importance TO the company
as a revenue producer during the coming
summer months, and 1t may prove the
salvation OF some Of the big companies
operating in the Ely district. Water IN

IT is not unlikely that the action OF

the principal mining camps. The ex-
change Is on the verge right now OF a

and the public is coming back cautiously
but surely, basing their action on the
better mine conditions at Tintic, Park
City and Alta
The local exchange draws It's support
from each and every county in the state,
