lULD CARRY THEIR GUARDS OF HONOR
Kandy Grdiron Prospects
Best in Many Seasons

which, Coach McGugin win build an
ether great machine.
Then, in addition. there wnl he a
number OF men who have already made
their letters at Vandv during the days
OF the great war. There will be such
men as Blunt" Beasley, captain-elect
OF this years team; Berryhin. Frank
Goar. Percy Convers, Charley Richard
son Owens, Jim Early, Tom Greer, Hin,
Morrow Ho'res. Walker M~n'eh a"d
many others from the teams Of the past
three years.
The line prospects are the brightest
that McGugin has known in many sea-
sol There are such ment as Josh
Cody, Tom Lipscomb, Herman Dawes,
Greer, Owen, Reeves, and also Oliycr
Dawes, a brother Of Herman, who is
said to be a promising ~youngster who
comes from Morgan school. A number
of other men who have either subbed on
the team or are new applicants will
also be on hand, among them being
Smith, Reed, Shannon, $. and w Var
Mooney, ,Ernest williams,
Mum, Menich, May, Izor Foster, Lucky
Dantzler and Scott.
At end Coach McGugin finds him
self with such men as All Adams, star
and captain of the 1917 team; Frank
Goar from last years team: Ike Baker,
also from last years team; Percy Con-
yers, Count Blair, Holmes, Jackson and
Charley Richardson, Any two of these
men would make any team look strong
and selecting the regulars will be some
job.
Possibly the back field positions will
give McGugin more worry than any
thing else. However, to begin with he
finds such men as Berryhill, Top Rich
ardson, Tom Herfoss, Bunt' Beasley, Hen
Dirk from Fitzgerald & Clark, and
Berryhlll will probably become the
star Of the back field material, as he
is a half that has shown wonderful
promise. However, Top Richardson and
Bunt Beasley must not be left out OF
the consideration, for they will give him
a run for his money. All three Of these
men have already proven their ability
and will cause fear to any team.
Tommy Zerfoss will probably be
shifted to quarter this year, although it
Is also expected that Berryhill will be
given an opportunity to show what he
can do In that position. Either Of these
two should prove satisfactory in ham
ding the team ,as both know the game
and are quick thinkers.
Hendrix will probably be given a
chance al full and Bunt Beasley will
also be given a trial in that position.
However, the backfield men can be
switched as needed as any of those
mentioned will fit into most any place
In the backfield.
The schedule calls for the season TO
open on Oct. IL, when Tennessee will
come to Dudley field, On Oct. Is Geor-
gia Tech will be tackledIin Atlanta.
Oct. rs Auburn will come to Dudley
field. Nov. l the team will journey
