signal for a fast ball on the outside

Amid the breathless silence, F1ehar-
~, with a preliminary wind-up that
seemed to take him an age to make,
put all his strength behind the ball
and shot it like a streak toward the
plate. Gordon Kelly made one step
forward, his bat crashed against the
sphere and drove 1t on a line ten
feet over the second haseman's head.
At the same instant a mighty roar
went up from the crowd. the three
base runners dug their spikes in the
dirt and tore for the plate, and Cor

AUBURN WORKS
HARDFOR CAME
WITH JACKETS
Mike Donahue Expects to Have
His Full Strength on Field
in Saturdays Battle.
By Mike Donahue.
Coach Auburn Football Team.)

"A UBURN, Nov. auburn is
~ wasting no time in preparing
for the Yellow Jackets. With
the execution of Lockwood and
Sparkman, the team came through
the hard L. S. u. game in good shape.
l.. S. L. was by far the strongest
team that Auburn has met this year.
They are heavy and experienced, and
they put their whole season on the
Auburn game.
One of the hardest things about the
Auburn schedule Is the fact that Au-
burn has had and will have to play
so many undefeated teams. Clemson
so far was the onl ydefeated team
that Auburn has played. Tech and
Vanderbilt are two undefeated teams
and the outcome of the Tech Geor-
gia game will decide whether Georgia
will be in the same category or not.
Clemson will give Georgia very hard
game though there does not seem TO
be much chance for their beating
Georgia
Electric lights have been installed
on Drake Field so practice will con-
tinue from now on till after dark.
New signals and new formations have
been given the team for the three re-
naming games. If Auburn expects
to have any chance to take three in
row from such strong opponents 1t
will have to get up and hustle.
Everyone realizes this and the team
is going after the work with zest
and snap not visible so far this year.
If no injuries occur this week the
Auburn team ought to enter the game
in good physical condition.
The Auburn line will outweigh all
others from end to end, but a great
deal of this weight is a hindrance
rather than help. Auburn will
probably have six of the last year
regulars in the game, provided Lock
wood is in shape, while Tech will
have five, so it will be a question OF
prep stars against substitutes and
scrubs.
