get a chance 10 show 1t. Should
Reifsnyder be able to get In the game
he will show Atlanta folks that he is
not 80 punk either, though he weighs
but about $50.
Johnson, of Chattanooga looks like
a promising man. but 1t is more likely
he will be given trial at end. He is
tall and rather fast, and plunges well
with the ball. He must weigh fully
100.
IN addition to johnson there are
Lucas. Beard, Cushman and Goree,
for the end positions, and these are
all fairly good men. As a whole they
lack the, class of the backs, but they
should make fully as good men as
Tech has shown at these positions in
the past, and perhaps better.
wv HAT is troubling me is the line.
w Thus far Means is the only
regular who has shown up from last
years line, and l can not see that the
new stuff gives anything like the
promise exhibited by the back field.
Murphree is swapping Just at pres
ent, and he snaps well; but he is not
heavy enough for the place, and as
he is still young he lacks the neces-
sary physical strength 10 hold down
the place on a college team.
Means is putting his usual bang-up
game, but at the other guard there
is much uncertainty. Spence is heavy
enough but green as grass, while
Lang has been i'll with malaria and
will have to pick up whole lot in
both weight and strength before he
can be counted on for much.
At one tackle Nance is pretty sure
to get a good tryout. While plenty
big enough for The position, stripping
as he does at about 1875, he has been
out of the game several years, and 1t
remains TO be seen whether he can
come back or not. The position is
new to him. as he has always played
fullback, and his lack of experience
at the position will be greatly against
him.
For the other tackle absolutely no
one is in sight Rivals, Of the Co
lumbus Industrial School, is a likely
player for his weight. but he is even
lighter than the tackles Tech had
last year. Rainey is a Jim dandy
scrub developed from last year. but
he will hardly tip the scales at 100,
which is away yonder too light for
tackle. And yet it looks a. though
these two would have to hold down
the place.
Thus we see that an analysis Of line
material shows that we are woefully
shy on it, and even if we succeed in
patching up a kind Of line we don't
appear to have any subs whatever for
that line. 1t is true that there are
three or four good big men in college
and out on the field who would help
out tremendously if they could only
be used. But they are ineligible for

this year and so can not even be men
toned.
NOW, it is an axiom in football that
~ no matter how fast your backs
are you can't expect much from them
unless you have line that can hold
opponents in check until your backs
get well started. That, then, is the
problem at Grant Field for this year
to develop q line out Of most I'M
promising material that shall be able
to hold its own with opposing powers
Of the first rank so that our back
field can have a chance to show what
il is good for If we can develop
such a line our backs viii undoubted-
ly be heard from, but it is a stupen-
dous task.
Many who have cast a casual eye
over our squad have come away with
the conviction that we had no end Of
heavy material this year. A casual
glance would impress most everybody
that way; but it is because we have
large number Of men on the field
who are slightly above the average
size OF college squad. and not be-

is not to say that it won't do some
thing this year yet 1t may. and it
may not
NY own conviction Is that it should
be a much better team than we could
boast of last fall, though all will ad-
NIT it will have to go some if it is to
excel the team of 1912 in team work
and fighting spirit.
1T would DE in very bad taste for me
to attempt to compare the team
with other college teams in this con-
nection, and besides ii is too early
for anybody to make much OF pro-
nouncement on their own team, to say
nothing of others. l will only say that
so far as l can see and learn Auburn,
Sewanee, Georgia and Vanderbilt will
be quite as heavy and quite as fast as
and a good deal more experienced
than Tech.
When you come to measure these
teams with your eye when they trot
out on the gridiron in November you
will see that l am now stating the
truth. Because Tech has been for
tunate enough to land more new ma
terial than is usual for her does not
mean that the other colleges have Sc
cured none. Think a moment how
much longer and better they have
been organized for coaxing in good
athletic talent than Tech has been
and. you will no longer be disposed to
demand that Tech catch up with and
pass them in 2 single year.
But, of course, we are hopeful
much more so than we have ever been
before. Despite the handicap Of lack
of college experience we are in better
shape to cope with the other Southern
teams than ever before. and If the
boys will work as hard as did last
years team, If they will obey orders
as implicitly, and keep training regu-
lations as faithfully. and if they will
show the fighting nerve that last
years players displayed Tech will
have a team hard to beat-and that
is about all any coach not a fool
would care to say.
I DO not mind saying quite frankly
l. that Tech should have a good
baclfield, and we should also have
better ends than usual. Behind the
line we have in Captain Cook. Mac
Donald, Preas and Patten. four men
whose combined weight makes up a
reasonably satisfactory average, while
their speed is also not to be sneered
at. In addition we have in Fielder,
Rountree and Tyler and Edgar Mon
tague. halfbacks, who, though light,
know a whole lot of football and may

Appeal to Yale Men
To Aid Eli Players

NEW HAVEN, CONN. Sept. 81
Marking a radical departure from the
policy in vogue at Yale Field a year
ago, Captain Ketcham, of the Yale
eleven, has issued an appeal, through
The Yale Alumni Weekly, for support
from all former players. He especial
ly invites all "Y'' men to come 10
New Haven and assist in coaching the
team.
The policy Of the coaches last year
in inviting only selected former play
ers to assist in the work was the
cause Of much dissatisfaction. Cap
tain Ketcham says:
Every Yale graduate is earnestly
asked to return and lend what as
sistance he can, and both Head Coacn
Jones and = will be very glad to see
you.
Yale needs to win, and the hearty
support and cooperation OF gradu-
ates, as we'll as undergraduates, can
do lot toward achieving this re-
suit

cause there are any number of indi-
viduals of extra size among them,
such as are required to make up a
first-c class line; and those few who are
Of extra size and fit for the purpose
are, as 1 have said, ineligible for this
year.
So it will be easy to believe that the
coaches are very far from feeling as
optimistic as do the college cor
respondents and the faithful FANS"

Use OF Dynamite in
Cultivation of Trees

This place take water readily and
in time plant food Is distributed in all
directions through the soil.
In regard to the danger of handling
explosives, I will say that they are
dangerous if handled carelessly. Care
full, intelligent people handle explos-
ives for years without accidents.
Carelessness," intoxication and ignor
ance are the cause of most of the ac-
cidents. When an explosion occurs.
there is no time, left to run to a
place Of safety.
The various railroads and powder
companies have rules which they re-
quire their employees to follow, and
the users Of dynamite can we'll afford
to use the same amount of caution.
l would advise the farmer who is
about to. use dynamite for the first
time, to-, secure the services of an
expert blaster il possible. The blaster
can instruct him in the uses of dyna-
mite, show him how to store it, and
give himg many pointers that will save
time and dynamite in experimenting.
have yet to hear of farmer who
Is dissatisfied with the results of
dynamiting where 1t Is done properly.
