TULANE FOOTBALL
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Squad Makes Good Showing
at Training Camp-Team
Light But Fast

New Orleans, September 29.-"Never
in the history of the Tulane university
have the prospects for a successful
team been brighter than the outlook
for the present season"
Such was the opinion expressed by
Coach Hoffman when he returned with
the Tulane gridiron men from their
training camp at Covington.
From all points of view the outlook
is the best, and the showing made by
the men at the training camp far sur
passed my previous expectations, con-
tinued Hoffman.
All the men who returned with the
coach are in high spirits over the show
ing made at the camp.
This years team far surpassed the
teams of any previous year as far as
speed is concerned, while in weight
they are just about the average of the
usual Tulane team.
AS was expected the date of the
scheduled game with Jefferson college
has been changed from October 8 TO
October II, which day falls on Satur-
day and proves more satisfactory on
account of the better financial results
which the Tulane and Jefferson man
ayers hope to attain.

BACK AT GEORGIA
Lineup Contains But One New ManProspec Rosy
the Best Eevens That Has Yet Represented the Red
and Black-Substitutes Not Up to Standard
The Backfield is Intact

Athens, Ga, September 29.-(Special.)
The prospects at the University of Geor-
gia are Frightening daily. Each succeed
Ing day sees the return of some veteran
who was not expected to return and
from an early season gloom, a week in
advance of the first game of the season,
the boys have captured the fort.
Georgia was not very lucky in gather
ing in prep school material this season
and 1t is fortunate that SO many of last
years men or of the scrubs and subs
will be back, or the prospects would be
the worst in years.
To show how really good Georgia S
prospects seem, tentative lineup and the
one used at the start of the season
against the Alabama Preds on october
T., showed but one new man in the lineup.
Can one imagine such a condition.
Here's a southern college that will re-
turn 10 veterans to their 1913 squad To
say the prospects are bright is putting
ii mildly.
The only hitch is in the subs The
calibre of substitutes will not be good
as Georgia subs of former years and If
any of the present regulars are hurt
the man that takes his place will natur-
ally weaken the team AT that particular
point. though some of the subs may de-
velop before the season. progresses very

the latter over 100, will handle those

Backfield Intact
An entire veteran backfeld will be
back. Captain McWhorter, all-southern
half, will have Thompson as his running
mate. Paddock, last years quarter, will
handle the same position and Powell who
played full and did the punting will do
that this year
Sub backfeld men are Howard Nc
Whorter, brother of the captain, Dor
sey, the gritty midget quarter; corley. OF
ba seball fame, and several of the fresh
men crew of last year.
All in all, the prospects of the Red and
Black for the 1913 season are bright. 1t
will be practically an entire veteran line
up that will face all opponents.

LIGHTNING

In the census of fears" taken
a few years ago by Clark Uni
versity, the dread of lightning
stood in the foremost place. A
severe thunder storm is a source
of positive terror to many per-
sons who are afraid of nothing
else.
1t is impossible not to believe
that mnch of this fear is due to
ignorance. During the one hun
dred and sixty years which
have elapsed since Franklin
proved that lightning is mani
festation of electric energy, we
have really learned less about
it than about any other of the
great phenomena of nature.
France and Germany keep re-
cords of every casulty from
lightning. The United States
has statistics that cover a short
ter period of time and are less
inclusive. Nevertheless, even
from these fragmentary records
it is possible to deduce some
facts of Importance.

Anumber of my good friends have been
kind enough to urge me to be candidate
this Fall for the Democratic nomination

al ASSEMBLY. | have refrained from
giving positive answer until the pres
ent, fearing that it would be impossible

TAIL This condition has now arisen
and regretfully am compelled to say
that | cannot this Fall be candidate
for any position at the hands of the
good people of Prince Georges County.
Could it have been my good fortune
to be a member of the next Legisla
ture, should have done my utmost to
obtain the submission of, constitu-
tional amendment, allowing the peo-
pie to vote directly on measures which
the Legislature had failed to enact, or
to correct, at the polls. the errors
which the best legislatures are bound
to commit. This reform, embodied in
the initiative and referendum, is ad-
vancing marvelously in public favor,

nize that the people have right to
