Frank w. Brooks and Mr.. Harry Bull

BALENT| SAYS HE W|LLF|ND PUNTER MOccasin Coach Will Not Be Satisfied Without
 Kicker

Chattanooga, September 22.--(Speeial.) Mike Balenti, who is coaching the Uni versity of Chattanooga football eleven this fall in preference to returning to Alaska during the off season this winter, mas annVlnced that he will not be satisfied if he does not develop a star kicker for the Moccasin eleven. At Carlisle, it will be remembered, Balenti won undying fame as kicker and is ranged with Mount Pleasant as the greatest oval booter that Glen Warner ever turned out.
 Just at present Balent is working npon Dexheimer, Spencer. Woodworth. and Hampton as his possible regular punter. All show promise. Balenti has been hin- dered to some extent in giving instruc- tions because of the fact that he has heen able to do but little kicking himself to date to the ankle he broke in the first series of the season here with New Or leans.

 FOR CRIMSON SQUAD
Ny ASA RouNTREE, JR.

University, September 22-(specialA After two weeks of preliminary work the Crimson varsity men will be sub- jeeted to their first trial of the season Saturday afternoon when they will be called upon to tackle the freshman eleven. Light scrimmages were started Monday by Coach Graves and from now on the work will gradually grow heavier Warm weather is working a hardship upon the Crimson candidates, but there Is no time to waste waiting for the fall climate. and Coach Graves is pushing his men forward at no easy pace
 Tackling the freshman squad will not be as soft for the varsity as is generally the case. On the new eleven are a num- Der of prep school stars, ranging from 16o to 1So pounds and the team possesses power and drive. They will be able to give the varsity a stiff scrimmage and will prove of great use to Coach Graves in conditioning the first eleven.
 Hoping to obtain more effective com bination. Graves has shifted his lineup considerably during the past few days, and several linesmen have been used in the backfield. Morton. a varsity end of last year, is being tried at fullback
 The quarterback situation has begun to assume a brighter hue. Joplin, one Of last years trio, has decided to re-enter the game this fall Up until Monday

EMERY BALL BARRED

Chicago, September 22.-Use of ''the emery ball'' or "sandpaper ball' in the American league. is prohibited in ruling today by President B. B. Johnson. Man. agers of clubs were notified that the first offenders will be suspended for 30 days and fined $100. In addition. the game in which the ball is used will be cast out of the records, providing it is won by the team violating the rule.
 Certain pitchers in the league, 1t was charged, rubbed a small bit of emery pa per on the ball. thus disfiguring the cover The trick made the pitching more effec- tive, it was said, as it gave the user a firmer grip.
