SEWANEE PRACTICE

Royal Purple Prospects Are Best for Several Years.
 Like Coach Abell
Septem Der II.

Sewanee, Tenn, September II. Especial. )-Football practice begins here in earnest on Monday, with pros poets excellent for one of the best teams Sewanee has had in several years. Many of the men of the teams of '16 and IT. and earlier, have sig nified their intention of returning, and almost the whole of last years team will be on hand. A large nur1- their lot with the royal purple this year and Coach Abell is anticipa tin g an unusually large squad of husky son.
 Sewanee faces the usual heavy schedule this year, including the long trip to Texas, where the Tiger takes on the strong Rice institute team an Saturday and Baylor university on the following Monday. The annual game with Alabama will be played on the first of November at Birmingham. The complete schedule is as follows: October 11-HOward at Sewanee. October 1S-6leOrgia at Athens. October 25-kentucky State at Sewanee.
 November 1-AIabama nt Bir- mingham.
 November S-OglethOrpe univer- sity at Sewanec.
 November 15-Rice institute at Houston, Texas.
 November 17-BayIor university at Waco, Texas.
 November 25 (Thanksgiving)-
 Vanderbilt at Nashville. Sewanee considers herself indeed for tunate in having such coach as Eari C.. Abell of Colgate university, All American 1915, who was the main cog in that powerful machine that startled football fandom by winning the cham pionship of the east over Yale and Harvard. He played tackle, end and backfield and did most of the punt ing. Since then he has coached at V. M. l., where he made an excellent rec ord and was universally liked and ad- mired for his all-around ability and splendid personality. Sewanee SUD- porters are confident they have found the man who can put over a winner, and when the curtain is raised on the 1919 season the Royal Purple will not be found wanting.

Pat had chance to put new blood" into the lineup in 1916-but he stood pat on the aged outfit. The result was that the team of old men, even though they had won the year before, couldn't stand the 1916 strain. The fight Of 1915 had taken the steam" out or them
 OLD PLAYERS LOSE OUT
 Wilbert Robinson won in 1916 with such veterans as Marquard, Meyers. Wheat Daubert, Stengel and Olson. But they couldn't come back in 1917. The Giants won that year and McGraw starting out on the 1918 campaign. used almost the same team that had won the year before. The few changes that had been made were not youth for age; it was one oldtimer for anoth- CT. And so the Cubs whipped the Glants. The Cubs stood pat in 1919, placing almost the same veteran club in the field that had triumphed in 191S-and the Cubs fell by the 1919 wayside.
 Experience, 'tis said, is a wise teach CT. But 1t seems to teach slowly in the National league. Not since 1913 has any club repeated in a pennant fight Each winner usually has stood pat on the old lineup. If any changes were made it was veteran for veteran not youth for faded stars. And no club has come back"
 Will Pat Moran, having won the flag with vets in 1919 take a lesson from his experience with the Phillies and get some youngsters for his 1920 team, or will Pat try the seemingly impossible-the winning of pennants two years in row with the same veteran club?

UNIVERSITY TEAM | GETTING IN SHAPE
Tram Sessions, All Southern Center, Is Injured in
 Scrimmage

| University, September 11.--(SpeciaL,
 As the end of the second weeks prac-
 tice approaches, Coach Scott is gradu-
 ally rounding his football warriors into
 shape. As students continue to enter the university new recruits are seen
 on the football field each afternoon. Prac- tice begins promptly at o'clock ill the afternoon, and Coach Scott is mak- | ing the work more furious each day Tram Sessions, all southern center, who is working for the same position this year, injured his leg in a scrimmage with the scrubs Wednesday afternoon, but his injury is thought to be only tenn porary. However, he received the sprain at the same place where his leg was hurt last year.
 At this stage of the game it would be impossible and unwise to undertake to
 pick out the men who have the best chance of making the varsity team. In fact, Coach Scott once stated that he in tended having two teams, either one of which will be as good as the other. Bill Moore. who was tried out in the back field in scrimmages Wednesday and Thursday showed up excellent football sense and ability to get through the holes. He is being closely watched by Coach Scott. All the old varsity men like Rogers, Brown, the two Hovaters Noland, Jones, Lenoir and Emmett are the framework around which Coach Scott
 is building his machine. Men like Wood Counts, Manor, Doster and large num- ber of other players, are fighting every inch of their way.
 Stevenson and Sewell. two former stars, are expected to return to the university by the end of the week. Stevenson. varsity man. is one of the most fearless and powerful fullbacks that the univer- sity has ever possessed. Sewell is good man on the end. but will have to W ork to beat men like Hovater.

Although the Dodgers got five hits after they scored their lone tally, no two came in the same inning, and only one chance was allowed them to score. This came in the ninth, when two were down. After Love and Session had grounded out, Red" Holt came to bat. Red had already gotten two hits and this time he had a do or die expression s on his face. He caught good one on the end of his bat, and tripled to right the ball bouncing off the top of the fence, Cochrane was forced to run back after the ball after the rebound and by the time he recovered, Red" had reached third. Then with chance to make a hit which would tie the score, Norton came up and flew out to right. ending the game.
 Both Ardis and Robinson pitched d good game, each walking but single man. Both had their slants working 2 just right and allowed but seven hits each. Besides pitching well, Robinson fielded perfectly. and had six assists to his credit.

Wal ker got two out of three and Stephen son duplicated. one of the latter's hits being double. Holt performed some of the best fielding seen in semi pro games this season.
