that they are really worth more than

At AUBURN, AND
MIKE IS HAPPY
By Mike DOnahue,
Coach Auburn Eleven.)

a UBURN, ALA, Sept. 2O.-The
~ second week of practice finds
the members of the squad in
creased to over 60. Another member
of the varsity squad has showed up
in the person of Red" Harris. a
backfeld man last fall. Red" lacks
weight, but makes up in speed and
grit for lot of it. He is valuable
addition to the squad. He brought a
younger brother along. too. who will
make one of Auburn's future athletes.
Pitts has sent word that he will he
in the first of next week and as
there is a good chance of Lockwood
returning Auburn's football stock has
risen considerably over what it was
a couple of weeks ago. The only pos
sibility unaccounted for is Christie
pher, and he is expected some time
next week.
With the help of Coaches Penton
and Bragg the candidates are divided
into three squads and are given more
work and more individual attention.
The tackling dummy was installed
this week and the way the players
went after it made it appear that
Auburn Would have a team of good
tacklers if nothing else. In fact, they
went after it so hard that the first
injury of the season happened to
Hart, who has a bruised shoulder
that will keep him from working for

Are "Freezing" to Ball.
There are long drills for the can
didates in catching punts and for
ward passes. falling on the ball and,
above all freezing to it when once
it touches their fingers As the abili-
ties of most of the candidates are
well known. there won't have to be
many experiments and the work
ought to go on smoothly from the
start
The backfeld, that is composed of
Captain Newell at half; Arnold, quar-
ter; Taylor, fullback, and Prender-
CAST right half is going very well
and has more speed and weight than
is usual in Auburn backfieldS
Only scrimmaging will tell, how
ever what the combination will
really do. If it pans out all right,
and with such good light men as
Hart Christopher and Sparkman to
shoulder some of the work, the back
field ought to be well taken care of.
