LOCAL BOY ATTRACTING GREAT
ATTENTION IN THE NORTH.
BEING HAILED AS THE 1913
SENSATION
by ASA RouNTREE. JR.

| Probably never before has a southern
boy attracted as much attention on the
northern gridirons as has Bradley STREET,
the local boy, who is playing fulIbacIl
on the Princeton eleven. Displaying enor-
nous strength and almost inexhaustible
vitality, besides great plunging ability.
Streit has beyond doubt proved to be
the real gridiron sensation of the season.
From the initial battle he has been the
mainstay of the Princeton team, both on
the defense and the offense and not once
has he fallen down on the tasks which
| have been intrusted to him.
| He leads the entire Tiger team in seor-
Ing, having made eight touchdowns in the
three games in which his team has par
| ticipated, and is also the greatest plunger
on the team.
So remarkable has been his showing
that he is being touted by northern foot
ball experts as a second Percy Wendell,
and is being put in the same class with
Eddie Hart, one of the greatest players
that ever wore a Princeton uniform.
Almost every day articles appear in the
papers. of the large cities about his
prowess on the gridiron. In almost every
one of the metropolitan papers his pic
lures have been run, and he is every
where acclaimed as the sensation of the
1918 season.
| Discussing the recent game with Buck
nell, one of the New York papers says:
But whatever may be the feeling
prevalent about the game as a whole.
there is no question of the fact that
Princeton has a star in Brad STREET. Not
| since the days of Eddie Hart have the
Tigers possessed a plunger of such great
strength and energy. Saturday STREET.
| flashed through the Bucknell lines on re-
peated plunges with the resistless ferocity
of Harvard's famous Wendell.
HE kept his feet remarkably well.
and several times pushed on for a couple
extra yards with the whole of the scrim-
mage on his back. Also he proved that he
! could run. the speed of his 100 pounds
making hini almost impossible to stop
once he is fairly under way"
Another New York paper says:
| I'm STREET the Tigers have an ideal full
back for the demands they put upon a
man playing that position. STREET has like
! wise duueu StTeliSl III anu "SlSnt
the last nine months, and his line break
! ing attacks today had power to them
that would not be denied. On defense
| he was called upon to back up the line,
which means bear the brunt of the oppos-
ing attack, no small job for a man who
bears the brunt of the offense. yet in
| this work he handled the situation with
the same hard, driving tackles that made
Dewitt so strong a factor in Princeton
defense last year."
| And again the New York American
says:
"Streit again proved to be the best
ground gamer. Plunging through the line
and carrying the whole team with him,
he would reel off five, 10 and sometimes
| 10 yards. Blick and Hobey Baker gained
consistently and the combination proved
| to be well balanced. Stewart Baker at
quarter made several bad fumbles during
| the first period, but in the majority OF
instances his Judgment was sound

In Sporting Circles
by ASA RIO UNTREE, JR.

The second big gridiron battle Of the
season, scheduled in Birmingham, will
be staged at Rickwood, with Auburn and
the Mississippi a. and M. elevens as the
eontenders. Both squads are hard at work
preparing for the game, and a hard strug-
gle may be expected as the Missssippians
are anxious to gain a decision over the
a. +. I. boys.
Reports from the Mississippi camp state
that with the exception of Noble; the star
halfback, who was injured in the initial
game of the season several weeks ago,
that the team will enter the game intact,
providing none Of the regulars are injured
in practice between now and the date of
the battle. The squad is in good physical
condition, and will be able 10 put up their
best game of the season.
According to Auburn dispatches, Mike
into fast and scrappy eleven, and that
they are moving with machine like pre-
cision. The team is still shy first class
punter, to fill the vacancy left by Rip
Major, but Loulsell Is showing promising
form, and it is more than likely that he
will be able to take care of the punting
duties in a very acceptable manner. While
the Auburn back field is lighter than that
OF the Mississippians, it will prove no
great advantage. as the Auburn backs
have already demonstrated in a convince
ing manner that they are able to smash
an opposing line in just as good a fashion
Some of the most important battles of
the season will be played Saturday by the
southern collegiate elevens. At NASH
vile Vanderbilt will tackle the husky
eleven of the University of Michigah.
while over in Atlanta, Georgia viii meet
the warriors representing Virginia. Among
the other large games that will be staged

A new set of signals especially for use
against Sewanee were dished out Monday
afternoon. and, working secretly behind
closed gates. the Jackets will practice
faithfully on these all the week and
may give them q trial against the Flori-
da team by way Of a test.
Signal work. tackling and charging will
be the main work of the Jackets this
week. They will scrimmage, of course
but the scrimmages will not be as long
or as fierce this week as they were last
or they will be next week.
Patten and Loeb will work out with
the varsity in the signal drill. but they
are not going to enter any scrimmages
this week, saving themselves for the
Florida game. The scrubs fight the var.
sity as hard as any team they will meet
and 1t Is thought inadvisable to put the
injured men In the scrimmages until they
are absolutely sound.

Texas game at Dallas and the Auburn
Mississippi A. and NJ. game in this city.
From the present indications the 100
mile race. which will be staged at the
fair grounds on october 80 will be one of
the greatest events of its kind ever held
on a southern emile dirt track Thir-
teen cars have already been entered for
the long grind. and it, expected that at
least 20 cars will be in line when the start
ing gun is fired. Interest in the big event
Is Very keen, both locally and in neigh
boring cities. The auto fans of both Men,
phls and Nashville have chartered special
Pulmans for the race, and it Is expected
that other southern cities will fall in line
shortly.
{ The track will be specially prepared for
the race, and calcium of chloride will be
used to prevent dust. Local drivers have
already commenced tunning and stripping
their cars in preparation for the trial
spins which will be started at the fair
grounds in the next few days. The en-
tries will close on October %.
Basketball practice will commence this
evening at the Birmingham Athletic club.
Interest in the sport is running high at
the club, and over 40 members have signed
up for the color series, which opens on
October 20.
Pitcher Beck, who was drafted from the
Vols at the close of the past season by
the Philadelphia Nationals, has been sold
by that club to the Boston Braves. An
nouncement to the effect was made yes
terday by officials of the Quaker club.
The addition of Beck to the Braves
twirling corps swells the number of ex-
Southern leaguers on it to four. The
other moundsmen who have seen service
in Judge Kavanaugh's circuit are Hess.
Perdue and Dickson.
Although the Pennsylvania eleven over
whelmed Brown in the game Saturday,
the Red and Blue coaches are by no
means pleased with the work of the, team,
especially of the linesmen. Every day
the regulars are being strenuously drilled
in defensive work, and are put through
hard scrimmages with the scrubs. In this
way 1t Is hoped that the team will be
brought around into tiptop shape for the
coming hard games on the schedule.

RAIN INTERFERES WITH
PRACTICE AT VANDERBILT
Rain Handicappng Work of Team-Askew Receiving Speca

Nashville. October Especially
The steady downpour of rain for the
past two days, accompanied by the sud
den big drop In temperature, made Dud-
ley field n veritable sea of frozen mud
and Coach McGugin was forced to put
the Commodores through work out
on the campus. The bitterly cold rain
finally drove the men from the turf to
the gymnasium, where an hour was de-
voted to a signal drill and instruction
in new formations.
Particular attention was paid to AS

Thus the line will not be weakened by

Atlanta, October 21.-For the first time
this season the Tech Yellow Jackets will

COACH COPE ELATED OVER
PERFORMANCES OF WARD

Chattanooga, October 21.-(Special)
Coach Harris Cope, of the Sewanee
Tigers, is highly elated over the showing
made by Ward, the dark horse of the
Purple backfield in the game with the
Volunteers here. Time and time again
as Ward ploughed through the Orange
line Cope turned with an appreciative
remark to some of those enjoying side
line privileges. The Tiger pilot plans to
train Ward down to about ITO pounds
and when he reaches this weight believes
he will be wonder. At present Ward
weighs in the neighborhood Of 1s0. This
renders him slightly overweight. Ward
Joined the squad a little late but Cope
is working with him daily and he should
be in fine fettle when the Tech game
rolls around
The Tigers are looking forward to the
Jacket struggle with some apprehension.
In the first place the Copemen realize
that Heisman has cracking good eleven
this year, but this Is not all the Tigers

hausted by the long journey and the hard
battle at Dallas next Saturday.
The Tigers came through the Tennessee
game here In grand shape, but there
Is possibility that some real injuries
might occur in the Texas battle. A seri-
Gus mishap to Tolley or Parker would
sadly cripple the Tigers offense.
Judging from his sideline comments
Saturday Cope is we'll pleased with the
development of the Purple eleven and
the effectiveness of his light back field.
The tackling alone seemed to cause the
Rengals' leader annoyance and the dummy
is playing an active part in the work
outs on the mountain this week.
There was a tendency upon the part
of the Tigers to tackle high and time
and time again Moore and other line
broke through and reached Rainey as
soon as he grabbed the ball only to have
the Tennessee quarter elude their nigh
lunges. Upon several instances Rainey
passed three and four men. It is one
good bet though that this slight imperfec-
ton will be removed by the time Tech
is reached, as the Tigers are going into
the game with the Jackets with no little
vim.

Willamette was considered very
weak at the beginning of the sea-
son, but great advancement has been
made since that time. Coach Sweet
land has been putting the men through
the stiffest kind of workouts, and has
developed a fast, Woodworking quin-
tet but their strength has never yet
been tried on team of the collegiate
class, so that it is impossible to make
any definite statements as to how the
two teams will compare.
Seemingly, the odds are against the
local team, but the boys from the

for their money, and most of the fans
will support the home team.
Nothing definite can ever be OBJ
tanned from Coach Sweetland prior to

FIRE COMMITTEE IN
DEBATE WITH COUNCIL
American LaFrance Agent Posts $500
FOrfelt-He Asks General Test
Of Cars.

Provided all three can come to an
agreement within the next few weeks,
the agents for the American LaFrance,
the Mott and Robinson fire auto COM
panies will hold a competitive test in
Salem, which promises to be interest
ing to taxpayers and others.
A meeting was held by the fire en-
gine representatives and the fire and
water committee of the council yester-
day and 1t was decided that in order
to arrive at some definite conclusion
as to what shall be required in testing
out the different engines, each bidder
shall prepare and submit to the fire
and water committee q typewriter
statement setting forth what he be-
lieves TO be the best features for the
test.
Considerable discussion ensued
when the agents for the Mott and Rob
inson machines declared that their en-
gines could pump more water, and
that this feature was the most salient
in testing fire engines, Mr., Long, the
LaFrance agent, objected to this pro-
posal on the grounds that every fea-
ture of a fire machine should be test
ed thoroughly, and said thm If the
pumping feature was to be the only
one demonstrated he could mount a
car with a fireboat pumper and throw
tons OF water.
Mr.. Long advised the committee that
pumping lot Of water and getting the
pump to the fire were two different
subjects, and that he would suggest
that each machine be required TO dem
onstrate It's transportation facilities
and the durability Of the general
makeup Of the car in addition to the
pumping feature,
The LaFrance representative has
posted $500 with the city recorder as
showing Of good faith In competing
with his machine, and declares that he
will ship one Of his machines to Sa-
lem Immediately upon being shown
the requirements In black and white.
In all probability John Maurer, Geo.
W. shand and two others not yet
named by the committee, or suggested
by the auto agents, will act as Judges
Of the test.
