Alabama In Good Condition
For Tulane Battle Saturday

University. October 23.-(Special.) }
1t took Monday and Tuesday to remove
the general soreness and minor injuries
which the Alabama men received in
their fierce contest with Georgia. Only
one man now remains out, Smith, the
big guard who received a sprained
ankle will hardly be in condition for
q couple of weeks The other men are
in good condition and to prove this
they took on the scrubs yesterday aft
ernoon for a short round.
Coach Graves has made several
changes since the Birmingham game
and they appear to be working with
much promise. w. T. VandeGraaff has
been shifted from tackle to defensive
center and Riddle has gone to the va
cant tackle This VIII lend additional
strength to the line as Riddle weighs
IL pounds more than VandeGraaff. On
the other hand, VandeGraaff's sure and
fierce taclSling, coupled with his quick
diagnosis of play. will muchly help
the defense.
Another change is the shifting of
Hog VandeGraaff from defensive end
to defensive halfback. Long and Love,
the regular ends, who both weigh close
to 40, will be used as smashing ends,
leaving the runner to Hog Vande-
Graaff or Bill Harsh.
VandeGraaff on account of his ex-
perience. is better able to watch out
for forward passes than Love, and
should he intercept one there might be
work for the score keeper.

promising players have been found in

Stewart were the two warriors who were

COLUMBIA WILL
ACT AS TRIAL BOAT

Bristol r. T., October 23.-The old
cup defender Columbia probably will
be requisitioned for the third time as
a trial boat for the Americas cup de-
tenders next year, and there is a pos
sibility that Rear Commodore J. p.
Morgan may be at her wheel.
The syndicate that will build the
boat now being designed here to meet
the fourth Upton invasion is convinced
of the necessity of competitor in the
trial races. even though such a poat
should be considerably larger than the
1914 defender.
u Mr.. Morgan inherited the Columbia
from his father, who headed the syndi-
cate that puilt her, and who purchased
her after the first of the Upton cup
races. The older Morgan turned the Col
umbia over as a trial boat for the Con-
stitution ip 1901 and so ably was she
managed that the cup committee was
forced to reject the Constitution in
favor of the older boat
The Columbia Is in excellent con-
dition and can be placed in commission
with comparatively little expense.

bRESNAHAN RUM|OR
DECLARED FALSE
Murphy of Cubs Denies That
He Has Been Traded to
the Dodgers

Chicago, October 23.-Because Pres
ident Murphy of the local Nationals
could not be found today, report that
Roger Bresnahan would be traded to
Brooklyn to succeed Dahlen as man
aser. could be neither corroborated nor
denied
At the Cub Headquarters it was said
that no trade involving Bresnahan or
anyone else was being considered.
Bresnahan was signed as second
catcher last winter but took part in
relatively few games. His salary. re-
ported to be $4,000, is considered by
the club. it is said, too high for the
service he rendered the club. Reports
last summer of discord ON the team
when 1t was suffering from a losing
streak attendant on number of trades
included Bresnahan as leader of a small
faction opposing Manager Evers but
as the season drew to close relations
between the two seemed amiable.
President Ebbetts of Brooklyn is on
cordial terms with Murphy and the
latter, according to one report, may be
seeking to strengthen his position in
the coming National league meeting by
delivering Bresnahan to Brooklyn in
exchange for Ebbetts' further support
there.
Evers' success as manager did away
with one reason for Bresnahan's re
tention, if reports are to be accented
with credence that the latter was held
in reserve to take the leadership n case
Evers failed.
New York, October ga confirma
tion or denial of the report that Roger
Bresnahan was to succeed William
Dahlen as manager of the BROOKLYN
baseball club could not be obtained at
the club offices today.
President Charles Ebbetts was not in
town. 1t was said at the same time
that Dahlen's contract was only a
yearly bond.
As a 1914 contract has not been
signed this would open the way for a
change in managers should the club

Five Old Men Missing

rive Old Men Missing
While five of last years regulars are
missing, it will be seen from the above
that all except two have had some exper-
ience either regulars or substitutes in
college football. The new men, Taylor
and Wynne, were on the scrubs last
year. On the whole squad there are Just
two first year men, Prendergast and Hair
ston, both promising players With Tay-
Tor at end in this lineup, the line is per-
haps the heaviest Auburn ever had aV-
eraging 1856 pounds from end to end.
The badkfield. however, is one of the
lightest, the quartette averaging only 1b5
pounds, while the average weight of the
whole team is ia pounds. If some of
the surplus weight in the line could only
be passed on to the backs like Newell,
Arnold, Harris apd Christopher It would
indeed be a powerful aggregation. As 1t
is, while it may develop into one of Au-
burns good teams, 1t will lack the power
of the 1910 aggregation, when Streit and
Davis were in the back field. There is,
however, considerable speed in this year 5

The hard game at Clemson was a val
liable experience that was badly needed.
The team was going along a little too

Squad VIII Be Heavy

The squad that leaves Auburn Friday
is probably the heaviest ever sent out by
this institution. OF the 20 players ON the
squad their average weight being nearly
10 pounds. The trouble with the weight
is that it is not evenly distributed, and
while the line from end to end is heavier
than usual, the backfield is lighter even
than it was last year, when Auburn had
much lighter oackfield than its oppo-
nents.
The following players will make the
trip: Newell, Arnold, Harris Christie
pher, Sperkman, Hart, Bidez, Prender-
CAST, Kearley, Taylor, Wynne, Thigpen,
Lockwood, Pitts, Louisell Esslinger, Rob-
inson. Hairston, Culpepper and Steed. All
these are likely to get into the game. It
is not known just who will start the
game, as 1t will depend somewhat on the
physical condition of the players. The
line-up will very likely be as follows

Auburn October 23.-(Special The
hardest work of the year is the pro-

on every game is going to be a doubtful
proposition. The game with Mississippi

strength and preparations are being
made accordingly.
With the exception of Thigpen and nu-
merous bruises on the part of others, the
squad came out of the Clemson game in
good shape The Clemson field Is the
hardest and toughest that Auburn has
ever played on, SO the bruises were looked
for. Thispen may be out of the Mssis-
slppi game as he has a badly bruised
muscle.
The main work this week has been in
attempting to find bachiield man Of
some weight to Lelp out the lighter

spent on Taylor, but he had lost so much
time with a twisted ankle that it is ex-

last year, but who has been out with a
charley horse, is also being worked in
the backfield. He has world of speed
and considerable experience in varsity
football, and he is very apt to make
good in this position. He and Taylor may
be alternated at end and in the baclSiield.
Prendergast, another backteld man Of
weight and promise has been handi-
capped by wrenched arm, which causes
him to tumble considerably. He is also
