all. We all try TO keep our eyes on

better organized than the most OF US,

up to par.
Sewanee Even Stronger.
Now you'd think that it would
have to go hard with team that had
lost such men as Gillem. Sheldon,
Stoney and Gillespie, but Sewanee
doesn't think 50 at all Last year
the team averaged l69 pounds. but
this years team at Tigertown should
strip at 175, which is fine weight
for Southern team. In Parker and
Palmer they have again a pair OF
fine backs, and as Tolley is back at
quarter they certainly have no wor-

back nearly all the veterans of last
year, and with the giant Barnwell,
product Of the Porter Military
Academy, to step into Stoneys shoes.

they were in 1912 And Harris Cone
is still at the helm on the Mountain
so you see my reasons for surmis-

good a team as the best previous in
her career
Auburn Probably Stronger Than Ever.

Yes they, too. lost a smattering of
good men, but they expected II and
planned for II long ago. Last year
they had quite a bouquet of "ineH-

on their chests, and then Wen see
them playing some real football.

Tech7 WelI-Ahem!
Tech did well enough in the second
game; but Citadel while heavier
than last year, did not look to me as
good as the Citadel team of 1912.
Whether they lack pepper all the
time, or whether they were lust swept
off their feet at the outset by Techs
determined onslaught. l have no
means OF determining.
