ARMY AND NAVY ARE

Line-Up for Army Still Un- decided-Navy Squad Holds Secret Practice.
 Need Improvement

West Point, N. r., November 23.-The lineup for the Army football clever which will meet the Navy at New York next Saturday, will be determined today Knight, the fast and husky "plebe," is putting up a good fight for left guard against .O'Hare. the veteran. Knight weighs 192 pounds and O'Hare is one pound heavier, but the coaches are look, ing for speed.
 injuries and is almost certain to start at left end. Redfeld, Fully and Britton are having the call. Gerhardt appears to be leading the candidates for quarterback but MurriIl has been used considerably in signal drills.
 Although there appears to be a gen. eral air of confidence among the squad, Coach Daly declined today to make any predictions, saying he preferred that the players ''sit tight and worry"
 Annapolis, November 23.-Navy's foot ball squad again will have secret prac- tice this afternoon. The coaches still are undecided as to whom they will place in four of the positions when the team lines up against the Army next Saturday. In consequence, they have not been able to give as much time as they wished to polishing the rough spots in individual and team work
 The Middies have been particularly slew in developing a good running inter- ference. and doubtless the coaches are endeavoring to bring about a quick change for the better in this respect.

ARDUOUS PRACTICE !
 HELD AT AUBURN TO < PREPARE FOR TECH
AUBURN SCENE OF
 CHILLING WORKOUT
Seventy-Minute Scrimmage Held By Varsity and
 Scrubs

Auburn, November 23=(Special. Auburn gridiron candidates were sub Jeeted to a'strenuous workout yester| day afternoon when 70-minute scrim| mage was held. The scrimmage bel tween the varsity and the scrubs us| ing the Tech formations, which hav| been shown to date, was divided tntl two halves and no time was taken ou1 It was hard drive, drive, drive al a1ternoon, but the coaches though that II was just what the green tearI needed before 1t would be fit for thI Tech fray.
 IL now appears that the team vii s'art the game about the same as Il old against Vanderbilt with the excepI ton of Captain Bidez, who will be re| placed at fullback by RickenbackeI Captain Bidez has been unable to ruI signals since the Vanderbilt game anI since he has an injury similar to thI one which kept Hairston from thI game all season it is hardly probablI that he will get in the game Certain iy he can only be counted on for serv| ice for a short time.
 With this exception the team shoulI be in equally as good shape as if enI tered the Vanderbilt contest, as WrerI who was injured in that game, is round ing to form and will probably stan the Tech game. Adkins, who has bee suffering with an abscess, seems to b' improving also and so the Auburn tea,I should be practically the same one tha fought the major part of the vander bilt game. They should, with the ex perience gained in that contest, appea great deal better
 The varsity appeared in poor forl at first during the scrimmage but i'd ward the end of the encounter the offensive was greatly improved. I'M defense seemed to be fairly effectivI against the plays winch Tech haI shown to date. The line which haI held so remarkably well all seaso should be better than ever agains Tech with the added experience gairleI this year.
 Auburn is hoping for a dry field "a no Auburn team has ever done we'll O a wet field. The soil at Auburn is t such nature that the field never be comes soft and a wet, soggy field sue as that encountered in Birmingham d severe udnulcdp. On a dry nelQ LII ends will appear to better advantae| :n going down under kicks.
 The Tech game is expected to brin out the best football of the seaso and an enormous crowd will attend tn game. The Auburn students headed b the famous Auburn band will go u Thursday on special train, while tn team of 20 strong will probably leav for Atlanta at 2:55 Wednesday afte1 noon.

The Final Practice Is Held
 At "Ole Miss" Squad Is
 Said to Be In Excellent
 Condition

University of Mississippi, November 23 Especial. )-This evening the University oi Mississippi football team practiced it's last time before the Alabama game They only went through light workout, as they leave for, Birmingham early tomorrow morning. Yesterday they went through strenuous scrimmages. Pete Dear, the star right-half and Little Scotchie'' Me Call, the hefty fullback, showed up bril- -liantly.
 At an early hour in the morning they leave from Holly Springs in special car. The squad will arrive in Birning- ham about o'clock in the evening. Coach Robbins will take the following men: Harris, captain, left tackle; Wrenn, cen- ter; Shoemaker, left guard; Funderburg, right guard; Collette, right tackle; Daw- son, left end; East, right end; Finger. quarterback; Dear, right halfback; Mc- Call, fullback; Curtis. left halfback; Lea veil, guard; Patterson, guard Reynolds, guard; Sharman, tackle; Kendall, end; Buntin, quarterback; Nicely, halfback, and W alker, halfback.
 The squad leaves with each of it's indi- VlQudl members Tn the pest or COnQlIlOn. They are in the best of spirits and are confident of victory. Probably the most formidable man on the team from an of- fensive standpoint is Pete Dear, the right-half. He has starred in all the games so far and has made the greater part. of Mississippi touchdowns and long gains this season. Captain Pop liar ris left tackle. is a hard and very ag- gressive player.
 Little Scotchie" Mccall, the fullback. is a hefty man, and his line plunges have featured several games.
 John Curtis, at left half, has shown more notable improvement this season than any of the old men. A member of last year5s scrubs, and always a hard player, he has developed into one of the best men on the squad.
 Dawson at left end is a veteran, and is speedy. Bill Finger and Baby" Buntin, the quarterbacks, are both light, but are fast. The team will enter the game with an average weight of about 160 pounds. The Red and Blue players are determined to give the thin red line" the fight of their lives on Thanksgiving day

RIVERSIDE PLAYS
 LAST GAME TODAY

Gainesville. Ga.. November 23-(Special ! The Riverside academy athletic authori- ties have at last closed arrangements for a game with the Bingham school eleven from Asheville, N C., here on Weekday.
 The day will be a large one of festivi- ties. Following the game a dance and reception to the Bingham boys will be held. The two elevens will go to Atlanta Thursday morning to witness the Auburn Tech game that afternoon
 Riverside came out of her struggle with Gordon in excellent shape. End Reeves had a bruised knee as the result of this encounter. but he is rounding into form and will be in shape for Wednesday, s game. The local eleven will start the same lineup as the one they used against Gordon.
 Quite bit of interest has been man. ifested locally and in neighboring cities in the approaching game. The people of Gainesville appreciate the efforts of the local school to stage a big game at this stage of the season every year. and are rallying to the support of the local insti- tuition.
 This will be Riverside's last game of the season, and if victorious. which every one locally hopes they will be, the season will be successful Taking a green team, the coaches molded it into a winner, and only one game was lost--that to Georgia Military college, but only after gruelling struggle. and in which the local lads were rather taken by surprise.
 When they rallied they played the vic- tors off their feet in the second half. but the lead that they had piled up in the first two periods was too large to over-

it fortunate to get an even break. How ever the situation in the Southern league was very much different We were one of the few representatives who did not complain, although we did not have a remarkable year, we had a good year in comparison with the leagues of our class or above.
 "The fact that the Federal league is fast losing what influence it has left was clearly demonstrated at the meet ing. Numerous players that are barred from organized ball pleaded to be re- instated. Practically none of them were. None of the organized baseball officials would talk about making peace with the Feds, and It is my opinion that the Feds are now in the last lap of their life.

usually from six to 12 dogs, and these race out the finals in the same manner as the first series was conducted, except that the time of each heat Is usually longer than in the first series. When the second series is finished the Judges declare the winners of first second and third places. The purses, which run around $1O00 for each stake, are divided between the win ners as they are placed by the judges. There are two stakes the derby being for dogs under 2 years old, and the all, age, each stake being run off separately and tue purse of $1000 each divided among the winners.
 By comparing field trial with horse race the horses are bound to suffer, as horse race is judged by speed alone, and each heat lasts less than three min utes. A dog race lasts TOT at least 30 minutes and while speed is almost as essential as in a horse race. a dog must show a lot more to win, as the dogs are judged by their speed, range, the intelli- gence with which they work out the country, ability to locate and handle game and their style in action and on

MT. Baugh was elected a national di- rector of the Minor Baseball association to serve for the next five years. New Orleans was selected for the 1916 meeting place, entirely due to the efforts of MT Baugh. He was in the best of health and glad to reach home again.
 "I was surprised to learn that the ma jority of the minor baseball leagues ended in a failure for the 1915 season with the exception of the Southern league" said MT. Baugh ''The salary limit of the Southern league was cut to S22SQQ, and the player limit reduced to 14 men, both at the request of the Southern league officials. The fact that a number of the leagues were failure during the past season Is a surprise to me. Prac- tically every league willingly accepted the cut of their salary limit. None of them protested. The fact lies in the one cause and that is lack of support.

Crimson Eleven in Good Shape
RIVALS PREPARING
 FOR COMING BATTLE
VandeGraaf Will Attempt to Break Worlds Record. Big Tackle Playing Last Game

University, November 23-(SpeciaL) With the avowed intention of enabling Bully VandeGraaff to smash the world 8 record as a placement kicker, the Ala bama football team is getting into shape to meet the University of Mississippi az gregation in Birmingham on Thanksgiv- ing day Following the Texas trip the Crimson have taken things rather easily, Coach Noojin fearing continued hard work might make the men stale but the remaining time will be spent in strenuous parctics bouts.
 Crimson supporters are not anticipating any serious trouble in taking the measure of the Mississippians, but an excessive score is not looked for. AS matter of fact, the drawing card of the day wild be Bully VandeGraaff and many Alabama students and adherents will journey to Redwood Field to watch the giant try for all-American honors. If present plans materialze Bully will end his athletic career by snatching from the east the record both for distances and numbers as a place kicker.
 While Coach Noojin has not given out his plan of offensive, it is generally un- derstood that Alabama's whole offensive will be confined. if possible. to Bully's toe Unless the Mississippi eleven prove far more formidable than is expected, the Crimson backfe,d will be used chiefly in rushing the oval within striking distance of the opposing goal and Vandy will be called upon for place kickments.
 VandeGraaf is out for smashing Char lie Brickleys record of five placement kicks in a single battle. Already the Crimson star has registered four in one contest and Thanksgiving Day he will be given every opportunity to boost this number by several points, Again Bully is extremely likely to smash the dis tance record of 65 yards, but whether he will accomplish this feat depends to a considerable degree on weather condi- tions. Last week in practice he booted the oval between the uprights from distance of 67 yards and many believe that he can repeat the stunt on Thursday. If his line gives him due protection and the weather is favorable 1t would cause little surprise to see the worlds record go g.immering, and big feather placed in the cap of southern football. Such a feat would add much weight to the opinion of Park Davis, the noted eastern football expert, who has picked the Crimson tackle for an all-American position.
