RAIN PREDICTED IN
SOUTHERN STATES

Washington, September 2S.-Generally
fair weather west of the Rockies, but
rain and unsettled weather in the west,
south and central west and somewhat
cooler weather as rule, were forecasts
today for the coming week by the weather
bureau. The predictions are:
East of the Rocky mountains condi-
tions will be unsettled early in the week,
states, the great central valleys, the
southern portion of the upper lake region
and in the south, and quite generally on
Tuesday or Wednesday over the eastern
and southern portions of the country sex-
cept over the extreme northern districts
In the central west and in the northwest
fair weather should prevail after Tues
day until late in the week. when unset
tied conditions again are indicated.
indications point to a week of gen.
orally fair weather west of the Rocky
mountains except over the far northwest
where rains are expected early in the
week and again after the middle of the
week.
Temperatures will rise early In the
week over the central and southern dis
tricts and probably will fall in a day or
two over the northern districts, but no ex-
tremes in either direction are expected
'It will be warmer Monday in the CEN
trail valleys, the lake region and the east
and probably cooler about the middle of
the week In the northwest. There are no
present indications of any unreasonable
cold weather during the week"

PUNTER IS BADLY
NEEDED AT A. & N.
Star Kicker Is Ineligible.
Plenty Good Material
on Hand

Agricultural College, Miss, Septem-
ber 2S.-T Special. )-Footban practice
started at Mississippi A. & NJ on the
18th with nine old men back in har-
ness, all showing willingness to work
hard in order to be in condition for the
hard schedule that is before them this
season. Rain has interferred greatly
with the practice to date, but even with
this handicap the team has made re-
marl<able progress. The time has been
spent in drilling the new men in the
finer points of the game; in kicking,
running signals, falling on the ball,
and running up the field under punts.
Macarthur, Rainey, Wells, Potter, Nc
Ghee, Noble, Ruffin, Gilleland, Kinney
and Baker are fast rounding into form,
and with these reliable men on hand
from last years squad the coaches
should have no trouble in turning out
one of the best teams that has ever
represented A. & NJ on the gridiron.
However, the absence of McGhee, the
star end and captain of the team, will
be sorely missed from the lineup. A
ruling in the S. T. A. A. with reference
to summer baseball was the cause of
his being ruled ineligible the coming
season. Nevertheless his presence on
the field will be of great assistance to
Coaches Chadwick and Hayes in their

Macarthur should make very fair one

schedule roll round The coaches are
optimistic concerning A. & MS
chances this year, and both of them
think that with fair punter the school
should experience one of its best sea-
sons on the football field that it has
ever had.
Even at this early date there is con-
siderable talk of what is going to hap
pen TO Auburn and the University of
Alabama when A. & NJ locks horns
with these colleges at Birmingham.
Especially is this true in the case of
Auburn. for there is longing for re-

man that nothing can appease except
the teams victory over Auburn at Bir-
mingham on October 25. And. unless
early season injuries ruin the chances
of one of the two teams, this years
contest should prove the most stub
bornly and fiercest fought battle ever
staged between the two rival schools.

THREE CLUBS PUT IN BIDS
FOR SPEEDY BOB MESSENGER
Browns Put In Draft First and Secure HmOaland and Mil
waukee Other Clubs That Were After Him-Knise
ly and Mcdonald Are Also Called

When Messenger reports next spring
to Branch Hickey. the boss OF the
Browns, it will be his third trial In
fast company. The speed merchant en-
tered the majors with the White Sox
in the fall of 1909, coming from the
New England league, where his speed
had attracted the attention of Charlie
Comiskey's sleuths. The following year
he was sold to the Barons and during
the 1910 season put up a great game.
The Chicago club recalled him at the
conclusion of the race and kept him
throughout the season of 1911. In 1912
Bob was returned to the Barons.
1t is very probable that Messenger
will be carried as a regular by the
Browns for at least a part Of the
season. AS an evidence of this Mes
senger is among the il which the
Browns have reserved from among u
large number of players drafted and
purchased.
Bill Prough, who goes to the White
SoN in company with Walter Mayer
has also had trial in the majors. He
was called by the Cincinnati Reds in
1910, but after a brief trial was re-
turned to the local club

Another football season has dawneo

ingly formidable Georgia Tech threat
ems to regain the prestige lost last
season. The wizard Heisman claims to
have the most promising material on
hand that has appeared on the Atlanta
gridion in several seasons and Tech
supporters are iubilant. The unfathom-
able Tigers of Sewanee are reported to
have an excellent quota from which to
select winning eleven. Auburn has
lost several veterans. but Coach Dona-
hue in newspaper articles, seems confi-
dent that the orange and Blue Will
again be found fighting among the
leaders when Thanksgiving Day rings
down the curtain on the last act of the
current season. However, the follow.
ers of the "thin red line" of the Uni
versity of Alabama seem destined again
to see their favorites light, inexperi-
enced. but game fighters under heavy
handicaps through another long and
grueling season.

LEADERS IN MAJORS
CAPTURE REMNANTS
DURING PAST WEEK

the Crimson machine seems sadly lack
ing.
1t would be unfair to judge the
strength Of the Crimson by Saturdays
game with Howard. The constant shift
ing of men was largely responsible for
their erratic play. Coach Graves was
evidently more DESTROYS of getting a
line on his new men than of running
up a score against the Baptists. And
yet student of the game could scarce
ly have viewed Saturdays conflict
without feeling deep apprehension for
the chances of Alabama during the
present season. Inexperience of the
men as az whole and lack of weight
which will materially handicap Ala
bama was apparent throughout despite
the many changes. With the exception
of Vahdegraffe The backfield is sadly
lacking. 1t has neither weight nor
drive; i. Hacks the speed which marked
the Crimson backs of last season, and
it can scarcely be expected to plough
through the heavy lines of southern
opponents or skirt their ends with con-
siderable proficiency during the coming
conflicts. In the line is to be found
more strength than in the baclxfield,
but here the lack of weight and ex-
perience will have telling effect upon
the efforts of the Crimson eleven.
The football question at the univer-
sity Is rapidly becoming a complicated
problem. With some 500 students to
draw from 1t is remarkable how few
heavy or experienced gridiron candi-
dates answer to the cali of the coaches.
Nevertheless the fact remains that
very, very few of such men are avail
able In whipping into shape u Grim
son machine Coach Graves faces
proposition which would bring sweat
into the brows of many of the more
fortunate gridiron instructors of the
south. Efficient coaching is essential
to the success of every eleven Men
must be properly trained to form a win
ming machine. But first of al there
must be material to work with and 1t
is here that the Alabapla coach is ma
terially handicapped Graves may up
set the grewsome dope and lead his
warriors through victorious season.
Chances are greatly against him, and u
