TED ARNOLD RETURNS
 TOCAMP OF TIGERS

Auburn's famous fullback quartet are rounding into form; still the loss of Christopher, the other full will be greatly felt. Newells place at half will be quite a proposition to overcome Hairston and Prendergast, two halfs of last season are on hand, and what with new men such as Blanchard and Howell and later possibilities of changes, the halfs will be taken care of. As to quarter, Arnold will, in all probability steer the eleven again this year. Hair ston, previous to Arnolds return, was worked at quarter. Stratford one of last years class developments, has shown signs of becoming quarterback material. Monk, Young, Thigpen and Major are possibilities for varsity ma terial.
 Signal practice has been started pre- liminary to scrimmage work which will be had this week, preparatory for the first game of the season. The Marion institute and Auburn will stage a game on Drake Field next Saturday, Septem- Der 26. It Is understood that Wander graft, the former Alabama star, has a husky bunch of youngsters represent ing the gridiron phase of the school. These Marionites should put up a pretty good game, and the struggle should be an interesting affair for both football followers and a first blood test for the Orange and Blue outfit.

We devoted last season to demonstrating we knew how to play bah in Boston, and now we want to demonstrate we arc capable of carry
 ing off the highest honors of the league. feel sure the team is of championship calibre. Others may not think so, but we'll do our best to prove they are wrong"
 Whereupon the Braves sallied forth on tllis mission, and soon landed in last place For three months they were anchored there, showing not the least sign of get ting out of the rut until July. when, for the first time since the season started they began winning games consecutively. On July IS they left last place and never again dropped back. One club after an other was passed until the team reached the heels of the Giants and few weeks ago they passed the New York club as we'll
 Those who recalled Stallings prediction laughed when Boston was in last place. The case seemed hopeless. Now the laugh is on the other side. The goal has almost been reached.
