New Candidates
 Report to Tiger
 Coach at Sewanee


 Special L)-The beginning of a new week finds the Tiger squad rein forced by the arrival of William Bau- man of Shreveport. Bauman played last year on the Augusta Military academy in Virginia, and his speciality Is at the fullback position. He is chunkily built, and tips the beam at 210 pounds when in shape He may be the plunger the Tigers have been looking for, but he will have to go some to win out over Kenneth Coun- cil, Lindamood, Satterlee. and others who also have the weight and have been tried as to their plunging abil- ity. Bauman is well recommended, but hasn't as yet shown the form he is said to be capable Of The coaches are giving him a thorough trial, and his friends believe he will come through.
 Another End Out
 Another end candidate has donned a uniform, one Murray, who is a we'll built young gent and seems to have some of the goods out of which a good find is made He is somewhat new at the position, as he has been a backfield man, but the Tigers seem to have so many backfeld candidates tIld tue COdCHtS dit U illS lO SWlltu some of the men to the line. Miller is back in harness, and Murray will have good way to go to win out
 With the Cumberland game only few days off, hard work is the order of the day. A number of scrimmages have been held. and some strenuous work has been done In tackling on the run. Sixteen backs were lined up op- posite each other and taught to tackle head on. It was pough work while it lasted. The big line men were given hot half hours try out at breaking through. and some neat work ap- peared in spots. There are at least two linemen who run the scales well yer the 200 pound mark, and d num- Der of others who range from ITO to 190 pounds. When the line is finally determined, it ought to rank well in weight with other lines it will con front during the season.
 In the Backfield
 The backfield composition is no nearer settlement than is the line. The usual number of candidates are out, and it is difficult work to weed them out as so many appear to be evenly balanced A young man from Mississippi, by the name of Perry, is a newcomer in the backfield, and he may be a real conner before many weeks if he keeps up the pace he appears to be capable of. The quar- terbacl position Is by no means set tied, and Pete" Baird has a job on his hands if he is to run the Tiger team this year, as Kromar Powers who made the team at Tennessee in 1920, as a backfield man. is running him close race. At least two other promising quarters have appeared and are being given tryout.
 The bunting fraternity at Se- vance has been joined by Shook, whose regular place IS in the iline. He Is making about as good d show ing as "Bo- Peep" Skidmore. But the coaches are still sending out S. O. S.s for the kickers to show their wares. Skidmore has developed some ability in getting distance, but his direction so far is purely matter of chance. His big foot. if he gets properly trained, ought to make some of the punters look again, for big Skid certainly has the power there.
 Passing Practice
 Forward passing is receiving a good deal of attention from Coach Nicholson, and it begins to look as if the Tigers may have a team ca pable of pulling off some good passes. with more or less regularity, some thing that hasn't been altogether true of some of the Sewanee teams in the past.
 From the number of apparently evenly balanced players, to the side line warmer it seems that the Tigers will have more than one respectable team to send Into each game. More hoY, L !. seasons because the Tiger substi- tutes were not IS good as the first string men. and were unable to keen up the lick when they were given the opportunity.~- This year things may be different and will be if hard work on the part or the coaches and captain Conway means anything.
