ERSKINE HAS BIG
OPINION OF TEAM
Out For Blood of Tech Freshmen
Guarantee Action When They
. Meet Tech at Anderson To-
day.

Some folks may believe that the
Tech Freshmen, said to be an awfully
strong and aggressive team, is going
to have easy sailing when they hit
the Erskine Seceders on Friday at
Anderson, but no one in Due West
believes the tale.
Communication was established
this morning between the Daily Mail
and Holy City and the dope from Frs
kline is quite to the contrary. Here
is what Erskine folks think of their
chances, so Andersonians can judge
for themselves:
During the last two weeks Erskine
has injected into her blood the old
Seeeder fighting spirit. She has tast-
ed her first college victory of the
season by defeating Newberry "a to
o, and it tasted sweet. The Newberry
coach is the authority for the state
ment that his best men were in their
regular positions at the beginning OF
the game. In this game the Erskine
eleven showed just what it had, and
it will continue to demonstrate this
same thing the remainder of the sea-
son. For Erskine has strong team
as the following facts will show:
Phillips is playing full-back. He
is perhaps the best known player in
South Carolina, and well-known prac-
tically everywhere. His playing is so
far above the average that he eclipses
the rest of the eleven, but he would
do that in any college. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the stars cannot be
seen when the sun is shining, so it
must be remembered that Erskine has
ten players on her team besides Pril-
Eps. He certainly is the outstanding
star, but the rest are there. His
offensive playing is invincible, and
his defensive is impregnable, but he
has the cooperation of ten other
strong men. For instance, there is
~Rube' Agnew. For three years he
has played varsity ball at center. But
en- account of his superior tackling
ability he has been shifted to tackle.
With his long, rangy build and his
driving power he constitutes an i'm
portant hole for Phillips to drive thru
On the other tackle is.Blakely. This
Is another well-travelled highway for
Erskines backfeld. They never fail
to gain when going by the Blakely
route. On the other hand he puts
up the "Road Closed sign when on
the defensive. Of the ends, Thomp-
son and Brice, only one significant
fact may be mentioned. Newberry
failed to make a single appreciable
gain on end runs. This speaks for it.
self we may pass on. The Hood trium-
pharte constitutes the guards. 'Si"
@Seepy" and "Erk,' alternate in play
ing these positions. These husky
ATar-Heel" lads have the true fight
ing spirit, and their opponents come
eut of the contest sadder but wiser in
thinking Erskine has no line. Scog-
gins is at center and of his playing
SO far this season nothing better
should be hoped for.
An old football veteran is at quar-
ter. Henry has been playing high
school and college football for eight
years now and he knows the game
from Alpha to Omega. He has the ex-
perience to know how to use the wide
variety of Erskine plays to discon-
aerr the opposing team, and to de-
aide the psychological moment to

Awkwardness on the part of a
Jimmy" thief who broke into the jew

Ninth street, some time Saturday
night or early Sunday morning prob
ably prevented the thief from COM
pletely looting the store of all stock
which had not been placed in the large
safe.
After the thief had boldly helped
himself to practically all the watches
and silver mesh bags on display in
the show window, he apparently
stumbled against counter and
knocked down a large box in which
pencils were kept.

him so that he hurriedly left the store.
The thief entered the store through
a rear window. which he opened with

WAYNE DEMOCRATS
Want jim COX TO
LEAD PARTY'S RACE

According to Michael w. Kelly OF
this city, one of Wayne county's lead
ing Democrats, Governor James Cox
of Ohio is the choice of the big ma
jority of Wayne county Democrats as
the presidential candidate of their
party.
Mr.. Kelly makes this assertion not
withstanding the fact that Indiana will
offer to the Democratic national con-
vention in San Francisco the latter
part Of this month, Thomas R. Mar
SHALL vice president Of the United
States, as it's 'favorite son" candidate.
In the opinion of Mr.. Kelly, and his
views are shared by other leading
Democrats in Wayne county, Governor
Cox will be the Democratic presi-
dental nominee, and Indiana will have
an active part in his selection.
THE Indiana delegation may give
Mr.. Marshall a complimentary vote.

swing to the support of Governor
Cox" Mr.. Kelly said "He has been
elected governor of Ohio three times
Ohio is normally Republican state,
and he is the strongest candidate we
have to offer"
Ohio May Be Pivot
1t is the generally expressed opin.
ion that Ohio will be one Of the pivotal
states in this years elections.
With Senator Harding of Ohio head
ing the Republican ticket Wayne
county Democratic leaders are frank

saved to their party another Ohio
man, Governor Cox, must be chosen
to head the Democratic ticket.
1t is generally understood that the
Cox presidential candidacy meets the
favor of the majority of Democratic
voters throughout the sixth Indiana
congressional district, but up to this
time the two district delegates to the
Democratic national conv o n

Democrats Also Are Pleased
Democratic leaders profess to be
greatly pleased with the nomination
of Harding to head the Republican
ticket. for. they assert, his candidacy
will not be acceptable to those Re-

driven with the cut-Out open, that the
noise made by the car may have
drowned out the sound Of the ap'
"roaching locomotive.

had at the crossing, and it is not
known how the young people missed
seeing the speeding mail train. 1t was
said Monday that the two couples were

struck suuarely in the back. 1t was
completely wrecked.
