my impressions of the team as it
looked to me at Grant Field
To sum up, Auburn looks pretty
good. and should make it interest
ing to every team they meet. They
should wind up with splendid
average, and be found somewhere
among the first four, but do not
look for them to win the champion
ship.
Tech looked so bad on Friday that
that night they looked to me no bet
ter than last place among some two
dozen colleges. Still, knew well
enough they could play better ball
than that. Evidently they thought
likewise, and started in Saturdays
game with the idea of demonstrating
to everybody concerned.
So for the first time this year they
looked on Saturday. like a ball team
yes, ball team, but still far from
champion ball team. They still
made several messes of easy
chances, and their team play and
understanding of inside points of
individual play was far from smooth,
but they showed no such rottenness
as can not be eliminated with hard.
conscientious work They still are
not hitting as well as am convinced
they can; nor for that matter are
they playing in any respect quite up
10 my measure of their capacities.
Perhaps they never will. But if
they can get it in their heads that
it is not how a team can play ball
but how it does play ball that counts
in games they should soon begin to
come out Of the kinks.

n INCE the Auburn-Tech baseball
series of last week have been
- asked a number of times for
my opinion of the championship pos
sibilities of both teams,
After having seen them in action
in real games an estimate Of their
abilities and promise is more read
lily made than was possible before;
still. neither one nor two swallows
make a summer, and to make a
hard and fast prediction of the out
come of the season for either team
would be to go off less than half
cooked. However, an opinion of how
they looked on last Friday and Sat
urday can do no great harm.
On Friday the Auburn team hit
we'll and it is an axiom in baseball
that any team looks good when lin
ing the bail out Yet It must not be
overlooked that they were facing
novice pitchers, that the ball was
slippery and hard to handle, and
that they would not have amassed
the total number of hits that finally
went down to their credit had not
several Tech players made unfor-
givable errors of easy chances
after two were out, after these er-
rors more hits were registered by
the Auburn batters than they other
wise would have had the oppor-
unity to corral.
