It is conceded, however, that with 15O0 men in each college to pick from, many of whom have had prep school experi- ence, the coaches haven't suffered from Q complete lack of competent material even though Auburn has but one vet and Vandy three from last years terms. For instance, Donohue has Howard, Scott, Stubbs and Shirling as a backfield and while none of them played regularly last year they were all on the Tiger scrub team and are now seasoned players
 s SAME OLD DEFENSE
 Shirling, who was out of the Camp Cor don game, will return to his old position at fullback and should add consider able power to Dononues s attack. Charlie Scott, one of the halfbacks, will be re- membered for his stellar performances at Bessemer Shigh last season. Little is known of the ability of the Auburn lines men, but the mere fact that they held Camp Gordon's all-star eleven to a 14 to 6 score is enough evidence that the old Tiger defense will be up to it's standard.
 Donohue is expected to use line buck
 ing tactics and smashing off tackle plays as in the past years. The Irishman usually brings along two or three good fullbacks upon whom he counts to ham, mer the opposing line into threads. Short forward, passes over the center of the line are another style of play that has been used successfully by the Orange and Blue backs for the past few seasons
 Vanderbilt will be somewhat crippled by the absence from the lineup of Top Richardson, their speedy halfback and one of their most dangerous men on

 On Great Sport Topics

was nearly a minute before he recov- cred. When he did so he insisted upon resuming his position at the plate He was disappointed because he had pro- pelled the ball only a few feet with his head. He, wanted another chance so he could do better But by that time the American instructors, fearing that one of the Siamese bean balls might prove fatal, stopped the game until such time as they could drill it into the soldiers that bat was not merely an ornament
 But outside of the Siamese in their first attempt, the allied troopers showed remarkable aptitude for baseball.
 No less an authority than Grover Cleveland Alexander, the former Phi1lie pitcher, insists that there are in France today some British, French and Italian soldiers who, with a little more train ing, would become stars of the first mag nitude. And it is a certainty that those boys will take back baseball with them to their home lands. And once the seed of baseball is sown, the crop of dia- mond athletes that will be harvested will be remarkable.
 It would not be surprising if within short time baseball vied with cricket as

Baseball has become a world sport since Americas entry into the war. And in the none too distant future it is quite likely that a real worlds series will be played which will involve. the greatest ball clubs in the universe
 England, France,. Italy and the other countries which heretofore had been apathetc or totally ignorant concerning baseball, now are becoming wildly en- tlusiastic about it. Their soldiers on the battlefields of France and Belgium watched the American boys playing the game and after time began to master it's intricacies Then they started p.ay-
 ing the game themselves under instruc- tions of American soldiers and American physical directors.
 But in learning baseball some of our allies have not been startlingly success ful from the start. The story that comes from the other side and which deals with efforts of the Siamese soldiers, a unit in the French army, to learn baseball must appeal with a certain sense of humor to. sport loving America.
 The dusky youngsters, soon after ar iANAA46 AlOtii tuGH own idHu, spent t0elT leisure hours watching the American game. Soon they wanted chance to play it, too. So willing American in structers schooled them as well as they could in the art of baseDall-and then turned them loose on the diamond.
 The first Siamese batsman who came up stuck his head in the way of the first pitch-and was floored for the count. When he finally got to his feet one of the Americans walked over and tried to explain to him that it was not a vital part of baseball to be hit in the head. Another American went to the Siamese pitcher and explained that hitting a batsman in the head was considered a social error in baseball But the pitcher misunderstood the criticism as meaning that he didn't hit the batter hard enough.
 When the next batter stepped up the pitcher at once threw bean ball, hop ing to hit that batter so hard that no criticism would be made of his pitch ing. And the batter resolved to make a longer hit with his head than had his predecessor. Ball met skull, there was Ia crash-and down went the batter. It

 counted upon to furnish the biggest thrills for the Commodores and Judging from
