Tiger Football
 Prospects Very
 Much Up in Air
Term Does Not Begin Until September q, When
 Practice Starts

Sewanee, Tenn, September 1.-The Tiger football prospects for this fall are very much in the air at this time. The term does not open until September 2l, | and it is Very unlikely that any prac- tice will be held before that date. Coach Abell, last year mentor has been en- gagged for this fall also, and will be on hand about the 21st to give the aspirants for football honors the once over
 Assistant Coach Nicholson spent the summer at Sewanee, and from the fact that he has been keeping very quiet about prospects, one would be led to believe that he has something up his sleeve.
 Fifteen men were awarded the letter 'S'' at the end Of last season. and of these fifteen, the prospects are very good for eight of them to return. as follows; "Bnl" Coughlan, captajn-elect, who was a hafback par excellence; TommieH
 Harper, another halfbacS who captaines last years team and whose running and lodging scared the Vandy coaches blue last fall: Fletcher Skidmore, the big boy from Winchester, who holds. down either tackle or guard; LeGrand ~Guerry. an- other guard; "Bill'' Stoney, one or ene hard -headest guards around this part of the country; Capers Satterlee, equally at home at guard or tackle; Charlie Con- way,sa superb end, good at getting down under the ball. at tackling and at grab bing passes out of the air Kenneth Council, another end, somewhat light, buc hard as nails, and who also can play fullback in which position he charges fiercely and low
 HARD JOB AHEAD
 With the above men for nucleus, the coaches will still have hard job to build ar effective machine. Center,s quarter ! ... a .h<Nln n be filled. ''Snide' Bettle of Memphis was one of the best centers that the Tigers have had in years, and his shoes will be hard to fill. Harry Clark at quarter back had a head as well as body, ana {, he will be sadly missed, especially as It seems unlikely that last years suo-quar- ter will return.
 Leslie Wright was last years regular 1 fullback, and while Council may be Aoe 1 to fill his shoes, he has not the avolr- dupois that Wright carried around, ana in addition it is by no means certain that Council will return. One end position also will have to be filled, probably py new man, as last year S sups were ihainiS for other positions. +sss 5.g
 Harold Council a brother of Kenneth | Council, is a good end and he may return , this Tall. Last year he had his wrist 1 broken early in the season. when lnca- pacitated him for the balance of the year. tle is another one hard AS nails, and the l coaches would hail with joy his return Lexie Elam, varsity regular or few years back, will be on hand. He Is a line man, tall and wiry, and has taken l or some weight during his summer at Sewanee. He will very likely be reg ular again this year. > a, SILL EARLY
 Little is known as yet what new mate rial will enter the University. As the term does not open until the 2lst,.i the l new men are not breaking their necks to get their entrance credits in How ever. indications are that some men from Mississippi will enter the Universi- ty. who have good prep-school records, and one or more from Chattanooga who made regulations last fall. Memphis is expected to furnish two or three likely looking candidates for the team. and Bir- mingha,n may be represented on the squad also. r.
 There has been some talk of "Cooney' Brown returning this fall s."Cooney'' weighs we'll over two hundred pounds, and is a real football player Last year he had his arm injured. and blood pois- oning set in. keeping him out of the 1 game for the season. If he returns the l line will be In good shape except for Sthc center and one end positions.
