FOOTBALL OUTLOOK
OF TIGERS BRIGHT
Much Is Expected of the
Sewanee GridirOn Team
in 1914

Chattanooga, January 24.-(Spccial)
Just keep an optic glued on the pur-
pie Sewanee Tigers in 1914. Unless all
present indications fai the Copemen
will have the greatest season on the
grioiron next fall that the Purple has
enjoyed in half a decade.
Three big reasons are advanced for
v henever the 1914 gridiron season is
brought up for discussion. The first is
that the Texas game has been elm
mated and Florida substituted instead.
This change in the schedule, which
viii substitute light team for a really
formidable one and will provide trip
to Jacksonville instead of one to Dali
las, is considered of vital benefit to the
Bengals The Junglemen still attrib-
ute their poor showing of last season
to great extent to the long trip to
Dallas and the Tech struggle follow
ing Immediately upon its heels
The second source of optimism comes
from the announcement that Harris
Cope is to have an assistant coach and
trainer in 1914. Purple alumni com
Cope did not have the time to develop
his material to the utmost efficiency.
The third cause for the roseate grid
iron outlook lies in the fact that Cope
loses but three men-Meyers, Moore and
McCallum. To fill tho breach upon Cap
tain Tolleys outfit a raft of new ma
terial is already assured. If Tech twists
the Tigers tail in 1914 she will be per-
forming some work.

BASEBALL PRACTICE
AT AUBURN SOON
Many Vacancies to Be Filled
This SeasOn-Schedule
Announced

Auburn. January 24.-(Speciall--n
few days the Auburn baseball candidates
will be called out, provided the weather
is suitable AS Auburn has no facilities
for indoor work of any kind, the early
baseball practice is dependent largely
on the weather. The fact that there are
many vacancies TO be filled will result
in good many candidates.
There will be missing from last years
team Davenport, first base: Noble, sec
ond base; Moulton, shortstop; Major,
third base, and possibly Locke, right
fielder and pitcher. 1t will be question
of developing a brand new infied and an
extra pitcher.
Davis will be on hand to do the buls
of the pitching. His injury in the early
part of last season no doubt kept tie
Auburn baseball team from tile cham
pionship. He is expected to be in good
form this year. Driver. who pitched last
year, broke his arm while playing in the
summer, but will probably be in shape.
Basore is promising scrub pitcher rom
last year, and Steed from the football
team has considerable promise as
pitcher and outfielder.
Williams, the heavy hitting catcher,
will be behind the bat in almost all the
games. Perry will probably pc his un-
derstLdy. There are two other good
catchers in Auburn-Hairston of Marion
and Mcneil from Riverside. rs they
are good all-round players, they will be
tried in other infeld positions, where
the supply of available candidates is not
so large. Mcneil will probably he tried
at second and Hairston at third. They
are good hitters.
Lousell is the most available candidate
for first base, while Arnold is a promi-
nent candidate for the short field.
Red Harris will play center field and
will clout them out in the sam eoll way.
Other outfielders of experience are Pom
ner, Graydon, Wynne and Roberts.
Following her custom in football, all
of Auburns baseball games are with
S. |. A. A. teams and it is likely hat
21 L. |. A. A. games will be played.
The following is the schedule:
March 26, 27, 2S-Georgia Tech, in At
