SEWANEE TIGERS PLAY OGLETHROPE AT HOME TODAY
Both Tiger Quarters Will Be Missing From
 Game

Sewanee, Tenn. October 14--(Spe- cial.)-With the oglethorpe univer- slty game today the Tigers are be- ginning to wonder just what the prospects of victory are. The overwhelming defeat of Bryson natn- rally sent the Purple stock soaring. But just there is where our old friend overconfidenee gets Into the game. The 102 score against Bryson does not mean that Sewanee has a powerful scoring machine: 1t rather means that Bryson Is below her normal standard
 Oglethorpe's defeat of the heavier Camp Benning team has brought home to the Tigers that. if nothing else, Oglethorpe has team capable of taking advantage of every error of its opponents. It must also be re- membered that Capt. Johnnie Knox is back in harness. and he Is hard man to stop. There Is no overconfi- dence on the part of the Tiger coaches. but Ii Is hard to keep the players in the same frame of mind
 Best Game Yet
 The Oglethorpe game will be the last and the best game to be played on the mountain this season. This , III SOIn6 llSdobA nay S1~Npt AAto = gers to do their best, for by their showing In this game will they be Judged capable of making the many trips that confront the Purple clan. There are many on the ragged edge md what they do Saturday will de- termine their standing in the Tiger football world.
 It seems to be habit of the sport writers to recount the disabilities first, and in accordance with the uni- versal custom the Purple warriors have many injured stars to adverttse' If nobody else was on the sick list. the name of "Heinie" Powers. the little quarterback, who has been showing such stellar form this sea son, would bring down the Tiger stock several notches. Not satisfied with giving his all in the regular games, In 2 practice game he went forward to take a pass. and he and Captain Conway. who also went after the same pass. mixed 1t up in the mid dle of the field, with the result that lowers came out second best with bad injury to his leg. He Is limping around and hopes td get in the ogle- thorpe game, but the coach says the dances are slim.
 Two. Generals Out
 Il In addition, Pete" Baird, the other quarter. Is still out with bad knee. With these two men out of the game, the coaches will be forced to call In the services of the third string guar ter Gene Harris. a recruit from the Sewanee Military academy team of last wear. Harris Is light In weight and lacks experience. and the loss Of the two regulars will mean great 1aaI tn fha Tfper machine.
 The injuries to Powers and Baird are by no means all that have beset the Tigers. Big Skidmore is still all ing and may not get In the game ''Blood" Miller is suffering from Charley horse, and his chances of ap- bearing on the gridiron Saturday are small. Hamer. the Castle Heights star, who has been displaying good form this year, has bad leg, and will probably not be called on to do much duty There are others who have minor injuries, but they will have to be set aside. for the Tigers will have to presnt a strong lineup against Oglethorpe, otherwise the game will go on the wrong side of the ledger.
 Probable Lineup.
 TO guess what Coach Nicholson is going to do in any given case is hard job. but q guess as to the prop able lineup against oglethorpe would be somewhat as follows Lit- ton and Stivers at center. There IS little to chose so far between these fellows. Stoney and Prude or Mur- ray at guards. stoney Is an old standby, playing his last year, and Prude is showing that he can use his 205 pounds to good advantage. He Is closely pressed by Murray, fresh- man, and Shook, a sophomore, and all may get a chance.
 If Skidmore Is able to play he will take one tackle, and Murray the other. If Skid can't play. Kent will probably be called upon to perform. He is a sophomore, red-headed and rangy, and gives his best. Sanders, the new 210-pounder. is also tackle, and he may be called upon to. nelp out. He was away with the reserves last Saturday, and the reports are that he did stellar work in going through the line and breking up plays. The Chattanooga freshman ought to be heard from before the season Is over.
 Captain Conway will hold down one end and the other will be a toss-up between Miller Guerry and Moore and Oakes. All of these men may get In the game.
 Ex- Ca ptain Coushlan will start at one halt. and probably Lindamood may go in at the other as he did good work in the Bryson game. Sat terlee. on his showing as punter. ought to start at fullback, although Freshman Bauman Is running him clese race when it comes to hitting the line. Kenneth Council and Ha- mer and Ben Payne are reserve backs, ready to be run in at moments no- .tice. The quarterback position will have to be determined on the field. There is little chance of selecting one
