Mcintyre and Tobln, with. the conni-

surprise on the team and the hun
dreds of fans that see the daily work
out when the first varsity formed for
action q recent afternoon. Captain
Curry, whose entire football career
has been in the back-fleld, was at a
tackle position in the line, and King,
who has been used at end this season,
was on the back field, In Curry's po-
sition as forward half The coaches
and the fans believe that the strong
est combination possible has been
worked out, and that the season will
be finished with the men playing In
these positions.
Curry has always filled the posi-
ton OF forward half. He has been n
consistent and successful player In
that assignment, smashing interior
ence and opening the way for long
runs by other backs. Furthermore,
he has been counted upon to smash
through the line for few yards when
only a few yards were needed. He
has seldom failed. When the coaches
suggested to him that he could be Of
service, in the tackle position, with
the loyalty and devotion varsity
captain should display, he answered
that he would try. Curry knows so
much football that he will be first

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 9.-Grand cir
cult races to be run here beginning
October 16 will mark the revival OF
trotting races in the South. 1t has
been several years since the last south
ern meeting was held in Memphis.
The track which has been construct
ed for the meeting is said to be unique.
-Four projecting arms OF a lake have
been filled and cut down to complete
the mile oval. The constructors have
it so arranged that spectators sitting
in natural amphitheater can see
every hoof every time it hits tho
ground. About 100000 has been spent
on the track by the Southeastern Fair
Association.
Several years ago an artificial lake
was left when waterworks plant was
removed from the site at Lakewood.
1t is around this lake the race track
has been constructed. 1t was neces-
sary to cut away part OF steep hill
