.CASHIS RETURNED
SUBSCRIBERS

At the last session of the circuit
court Judge James O'Neill decided that
the $500 held by the town treasurer of
Caledonia should be returned to those
who paid the money to the town. The
sum was raised at the time of the
Merrimack bridge agitation in sorder to
compel the town to raise its share,
Caledonia had refused to assist with
the bridge and by placing $500 with the
treasurer it was necessary for the town
to raise the remaining $500, the $1,000
going toward constructing the bridge
in case it should be built. Since the
project was abandoned it was necee-
sary to pay the money back after Ger
tain expenses had been paid. The at
torney's fees amounted to about thirty
per cent and the remaining seventy per
cent has been paid to those who sub.
scribed. The money was sent out by
Clerk of Court A. H. Clark. The
money that was subscribed to the vii
lage of Merrimack fund was practical
~ all spent.

Elcock Is trying to instill into the gem
is expected to be the greatest asset of the
Washington and Lee eleven, an eleven
that will be much lighter and much less
inexperienced than the aggregation that
bore that name in 1915.
The game in Atlanta on October rs is
considered the hardest that Washington
and Lee will have to play. Elcock Is
saying little. During the two years he
has been the guide of the generals he has
always had little to say when the pros
poets Of winning a certain game were not
bright. His reticence concerning the
struggle with the Yellow Jackets is taken
in Lexington to indicate that special
stress will be laid on that contest. 1t
will be the first game that Washington
and Lee has played with a big southern
team in two years, the last being the
game which the Generals won from
Georgetown, 10 to O.
Elcock has always maintained that the
class Of football played at Washington
and Lee, Virginia, Tennessee Wander
bilt, North Carolina. Georgia and Geor-
gia Tch has been the same, and Wash
ington and Lee men were anxious to take
on either McGugin's, Cunningham's or
Heisman's aggregation. But the appear
ance of this years squad and Elcock' g
silence cause many here to fear that the
Generals this year have bitten off more
than they can chew.
The loss of Ends Harrison and lizard,
Tackle Shultz, Guard Dingwall and Half

ing up well in the early scrimmages they
are all green and it will be an impos-
sibility to whip them into as formidable a
line as last year. The big fellows, War
rem, Rogers, Sloane, Garner and DeBar-
deleben, are learning the rudiments of
the game rapidly, but it will take more
than one seasons hard work before they
will be able to fill the shoes of Taylor,
Campbell, Fricke or the rest of last
years defense.
To meet some of the emergencies Du-
cote has been shifted to end and in the
early scrimmages he Is putting up a great
game. The other end is going to be
fought for by Williamson and Bonner if
the latter reports. Two other end candi-
dates, Gladdish and Winslett, are also
showing up well. Every effort Is being
made to get Sanford, who is at present
working in New York, to return. He had
the reputation of being one of the surest
tacklers of last years squad, and were
he to return he could take care of one
end, releasing Ducote for some other po-
sition where he Is sorely needed
In the backfield, with Prendergast's I'M
expected return, things look somewhat
sbetter, though he is not ready yet to
take part in the serimmaging. he is rap
idly rounding into condition. The latest
arrival is Jones, a quarterback from Riv-
erside who looks to be a conner. He
has shown up we'll in the early practice
and will probably be given chance be-
fore the season is over. Another little
quarter, Hall, from Montgomery, is doing
some good work and will also put up a
hard fight for the place. Captain Hairs
h ton is on the job and if Rivington, Scott,
Crosse, McIsaacs and Rickenbaker can
show the proper form, the backfield will
not be a source of considerable worry
No effort is being spared to turn out
a team that will be up to the Auburn
standard of the past. While the main
part of this years team will be composed
of green men, plenty of hard work will
do wonders toward making them efficient
upholders of Auburn's honor and hard
work is the chief factor in the training
programme.

BY w. r.. HALL

Auburn, September 23-While the bright
preseason prospects for this year have
been given serious setback there is still
plenty of hope in the Auburn camp.
Coach Donahue, realizing the task that
is before him, has organized what will
be one of the most efficient coaching
staffs in the south this year. With the
arrival of Coach Tichnor who gives up
his law practice in Atlanta every fall
long enough to help produce a winner in
Auburn the staff was completed. The
other two members of the staff are
George Penton and Kirk Newell, two old
stars who have played their part in the
making of football history at Auburn.
Each coach has charge of a squad which
he is testing thoroughly for any man
who might prove valuable to Auburn later
in the season, and at present it looks
Slike she will need every man she can
get before the season is over.
At present while everyone is hopeful,
things at best are uncertain. The old
stonewall that held Georgia last year pre-
sents only pitiful shadow of itself this
year Robinson is the only regular who,
so far, has reported in condition and he
has been able to get out in uniform dur
ing the last week. Goodwin, a sub of
last year, is being used at his place at
center and when he returns he will be
used at one of the tackles.
Though Wynne and Sample have both
reported, their summers illness has not
left them in any condition to put up
the fight that made them so formidable
last year. At present they are making
themselves useful in teaching the new
men some of the finer points of the game
Bonner and Steed are the latest arrivals.

am told that he sits in his room until

all. Stallings is good to his players. He
would do anything for them, and has
shown many times that he is their best
friend. That is, why they hustle and
fight on the field, forgetting as soon as
the game is over some of the unprinta-
BILE things he says TO them in the heat
of battle.
STALLINGS LOOKS TO FUTURE
StaIlings believes in forgetting a
game after II has been played, and is
looking forward to the future. He is a
great leader in every way, but some
ball players cannot forget his remarks
in the heat of battle and do not mt in
as well with the Braves, as men with
less natural ability. That is why tho
Braves never look as strong on paper
day.
on the other hand Robinson is of
more deliberate type. The Brooklyn
manager is more of an sy-going dis
position; in fact, too easy-going. Rob-
nson is a great planner and also uses
snap judgment, but he does not seem to
have so much success in getting the
work out of his men as Stallings does.
Robinson Is more of jollier than
driver, and is extremely popular with
his players. He is one of the type who
must be favored with good breaks or
his theories do not work out, and he
also needs material.
Naturally l know more of Moran and
perhaps may be prejudiced, but l think
he is the ideal manager because he
combines driving. jollying and quick
thinking with remarkable composure.
We have watched him make changes
or refuse to make switch that might
save us ball game earlier in the
year. and have marvelled at him when
tough game has been lost.
MORAN'S IDEA
THE pennant race is 154 games and
must look out for the future is Mo-
rams argument. "A game won now
might be responsible for the loss of sew
eral others later in the season, IL take
the necessary chances Let the other
fellows shoot their pitching staff to
pieces. and destroy the confidence OF
the men. I prefer to drop game now
and then to be strong for the finish. As
long as we are close to the leaders
am perfectly satisfied
The impression is general that Moran
is a jollier and hand-shaker, but this IS
entirely wrong. Moran drives and
rides" his men on the field just as
