To Report Until
April 10.

Bloomington, Ill.,, March 3d.
Bloomington's peerless shortstop,
Bobby Coltrin, yesterday affixed his
John Hancock to a contract for
1921. He has been dallying with
the subject for some time and the
fans have been on the anxious seat
for fear that he might not dabble
in the exact amount of lexico-
graphy. President Cocker got busy
yesterday, however, and had the
satisfaction Of seeing the signature
hit the dotted line just where it
would do the most good, and the
Bloomer infield is now strengthen
ed until it rangs with the best of
the league. Chances for another
flag are now brighter than ever.
Bobby has been holding out for
more coin. There has, been a gap
between what he wanted and what
the club thought could be afforded.
By making concessions from both
ends. the happy medium was reach
ed and all hands are now satisfied.
Bobby promises to give the club
the best that he has had and looks
forward to his most successful sea-
son. :
Coming to Stay.
In addition to signing the con-
tract yesterday, 1Coltrin closed "a
deal by which he acquires, q half
interest in the Peoples bowling al
leys in the Odd Fellows building.
He now expects to make Blooming
ton his home permanently and will
have II months job aside from
baseball. He takes possession of
his new business at once.
Transportation was sent yester-
day to Earl Sykes at Tarpon
Springs, Fla. and the Bloomer
slugging first sacker will be here
some time next week. He has been
playing ball all winter and Is in
the pink and ready for the going
here. The return of Sykes and Col
trim insures two old heads for the
infield. The fans would have been
worried IL there were two new
faces around the keystone sack,
but with Coltrin at short and . fast
youngster' at second, and Sykes on
first, there is NO further cause for
worriment.

 Clemson Held Centre
 And the feat of Clemson in holding Centre college which has one of the country's strongest eievens, 10 a IA to scon two Saturdays ago would warrant the confidence of the Tig CTS in their ability to trounce Auburn.
 The Ffainslhen are favorites to win tomorrow afternoon, but there .s rot one in ten of every grid fan who knows the situation who is predict ing an easy time for Auburn.
 Clemson has it's best team in years, while the Plainsmen are none too strong, and the game Friday after noon IS sure to be a close one.
 Auburn's Lineup
 The Plainsmen will lineup Friday afternoon Just about like they did against Spring Hill last Saturday. At ends will be found Moulton and Ford. Reagen and Garter will prob ably occupy the tackles, while Law renee and Ray will probably be at the guards. Captain Caton will more than likely be at center.
 At quarterback will be "Gibby'' Gibson, Mike Donahue's sensational little quarterback. Shirey and Scott will probably be at the halves, while "Rig Ed" Shirling will be at fullbs ek

By JACK FREEMAN

University, October 13.-(Special.) The Crimson squad Is belng drilled to the limit in view of the coming game with Sewanee. The game this Sat urday with Bryson will probably be an Interesting one, but is overshad- owed now by the approaching game with the purple Tiger.
 This afternoon while Coach Crisp ,was practicing the line-in both de- fensiye and offensive work. tackung, the receiving of passes, etc, Scott was giving the backfield long !ec- ture. Then the squad was thrown against the scrubs in a hot scrlm- mage. The Crimsons probably have the strongest scrub team in the south and they are able to give the varsity mighty good scrap. They are oi- vided into offensive and defensive crews so that whether Scott wants .. work the varsity on the defense or the offense he has, just the team he needs to throw them against
 Line Shows Up We'll
 In the scrimmage the line showed the effects of Crisp's workout. Shotts at center is going strong and the way Captain Al Clemens has started the season indicates that he is not satisfied with the brilliant record he made last year and is set ting out to eclipse it. Shorty Cooper, Bill Montgomery, and George Baker are going to be some of the strong holds when the line holds against the Tiger. Blackwood. Pagett. and Langhorn, all first year men have come 10 thA front long since and are steadily developing into first ciass linesmen.
 Two Good Baekfields
 There are two complete backfields out Of which one man can hardly be picked that iS@ any better than the others They are Kirby. Bartlett, Little. Whitaker. Rosenfeld, flaw kins, Baty. and Otis Kirby Tn the three games of the season Rosenfeld has been the most sensational ground gainer. and he, Bartlett and Whitta- ker are all good at throwing passes. Hawkins Is vieing with Clemens for the honors in receiving passes. Le- lias Kirby had had hard luck with Q crippled leg, but is about over 1t now and will probably be in fine trim for the Sewanee tilt

 Nick Cullop. the star feft-hander of the Louisville squad. who won the opening contest of the series in handy fashion, was rather easy for the Orioles, and they drove him from the mound in the fourth, San ders, who relieved him, pitched only part of an inning and then gave way to pinch hitter. Ernie Koob. another southpaw, took up the twirling burden then and after short while he went the same route as his fellow left handler. Wright finished in fair style.
 Ogden's victory this afternoon was his third of the series, he being the only Oriole pitcher who has shown any real form against the Coloneis. Score
