anything improper in this-not at
all. We all try 20 keep our eyes on
them and get after them, but Van
derbllt has her system just a bit
better organized than the most OF us,
and by that means keeps her stuff
up to par
Sewanee Even Stronger.
Now you'd think that 1t would
have to go hard with a team that had
lost such men as Gillem, Sheldon.
Stoney and Gillespie; ~but Sewanee
doesn't think so at all. Last year
the team averaged 169 pounds, but
this years team at Tigertown should
strip at 175, which is a fine weight
for a Southern team. In Parker and
Palmer they have again a pair of
fine backs, and as Tolley Is back at
quarter they certainly have no wor-

year. and with the giant Barnwell,

Academy, to step into StOney's shoes.

they were in 1912. And Harris Cope

Auburn Probably Stronger Than Ever.
hope ! am not giving away any
thing on the quiet little colony down
on the West Point route. / know
they have not Jeen very communica-

a newspaper correspondent now, and
your correspondent doesn't care a
hang, you know. for any mans Sc

all to herself long enough now, so
I'm just coming out with it and tell
the rest of the sporting world to
look out for Auburn
Yes, they too, lost a smatteriug Of
good men, but they expected 1t and
planned for IL long ago, Last year
they had quite bouquet of "ineli-
gibles" in college. but this year we
shall see them cavorting over the
gridirons Of the South with a big "A"
on their chests and then Wen see
them playing some real football
And Georgia?
Aye. aye, sirl Georgia will be
Herewith bells on. II looked at
first as though the Red and Black
would lose a heap OF veterans. but
somehow they wouldn't stay '1osed"
Here they are, with a whole host OF
men who have extended experience
on previous Red and Black teams
and. by links, they weigh more than

And Georgia is going at the thing
very carefully. They suffered a Sc

Tech7 Well-Ahem!
Tech did well enough in the second
game: but Citadel, while heavier
than last year did not look to me as
good as the Citadel team OF 1912
Whether they lack pepper all the
time. or whether they were just swept
off their feet at the outset by Techs
determined onslaught, l have no

\ whole lot has been said and writ
