Sunday morning will mark the departure
of President O. B. Andrews of the Look
outs for New York to attend the opening
of the worlds series and to secure a
pilot for the 1914 Noogans Even upon the
eve of departure, however, the chief ex-
ecutive of the local club refuses to give
even an intimation of the identity of the
manager to be. 'Is have two men in
view," is all that Andrews will state, lone
is third baseman and the other is a
two"
Johnny Dobbs, who leaves Thursday
night for Cleveland to take actual charge
of the Mud Hens, admits that he knows
the identity of the two men with whom
Andrews is dickering.s Johnny states that
both are AL players, but naturally he
win not mention any names. In regard to
| his Toledo berth. Dobbs has even less
to say. 1t is known, however, that he has
a number of deals pending which he Will
close within the next few days. The draft
ing of Mudnall Is practically the, deal
which. has already gone through. The
I~oolSouts had prepared to put in a draft
for the Rome player also.

adage that, lit Is an i'll wind that blows

the frantic efforts of the regulars to
batter down the strong defense of the
scrubs and to watd off defeat in the first
hard workout of the gridiron warriors
of Central High school held yesterday
afternoon at West End. proved futile as
the lowly scrubs made themselves mas
ters of the situation by ami mlssing IA points
to an even dozen garnered by the regu-
lars. The failure of the losers to kick
goals after the touchdowns prevented
them from at least tieing the score.
The scrimmage was very satisfactory
to Coach Courleux and as result he
has gained pretty good line on the
various candidates.

Nashville. October LA good idea of
the lineup to be used by Coach McGugin
next Saturday in the opening game with
Maryville was had yesterday. when the
varsity was sent against the reserves in
brief but fierce practice battle. with
few exceptions it was the first time that
the first team men had taken part in
scrimmage this year.
Unless Maryville puts up a stronger
defense than the reserves can show, the
score in Saturdays game is apt to be
quite large one, as the varsity gained
almost at will yesterday. All of the back
field men showed up well, and pulled
off long gains repeatedly Skies and Floyd

Saturday. Annie showed his old dashing

thai he is liable to be injured at any
time, aud McGugin hopes to be we'll

such an emergency.
| Never before has Coach McGugin
started hard scrimmages so soon in

his new men and of teaching them the

have been reported yet among tho can
didates, and DR.. Manner is ready a. any
time to bring his medical skill into play
when ii shall be needed.
Backfield Speedy
Despite the loss of such fast men as
Hardage and Collins from the back
field. there will be plenty of speed in
! this department. according to the pres-
ent outlook. as practically all of the
candidates are far above the average
| in fleetness.
The loss of Tom Shea from last sea-
sons team was one of the hardest
blows to Coach McGugin, as this youth
showed all the signs of budding star,
one who might develop into a Hdrdage
or a Morrison before his football ca
reer was out He was undoubtedly one
of the most promising backfield men
that ever came to the university. and
ut Is a pity that he failed to continue
his college course. A man of this order
to work with Skies at half would have
added much strength to the haeKficid.
In the Maryvlle game the varsity
men will probably start the fray, but
some of the more promising new ma
terial will be sent in before the game
is far advanced, unless the east Ten
nessee boys prove a harder proposition
than they have ever done before.
