SEWANEE TIGERS POINT TOW ARDS s. CAROLINA TILT
Willard Returns to Line, But Lindamood Is Still Missing
 From BaCkfield

Sewanee, November 1.-(Special. )-- The Tigers are not discouraged by the defeat handed them by the Wild cats of Kentucky, but are working away with vim this week, and ex- pect to take South Carolina into camp in Columbia on Saturday.
 The Kentucky game was & hard one to lose. for reports are that the Tigers ought to have had at least a tie, If not a victory. The luck was against the purple in that game; but 1t is scores and not luck that counts. The team returned to the mountain Sunday, and Monday was a light day on the gridiron. No serious injuries were received in Lexington, and, bar ring accidents this week, the team ought to go into the game against South Carolina in tip-top form, with the exception of Halfback Linda mood, who is still on crutches, and who will likely remain on them for the balance of the season. There is a bare chance that he may round into form in time for the annual af- fair with Vanderbilt on Thanksgiv- ing Day, but little chance of his being able to play against Tennes- see on November IS.
 Big Hole Left
 has made quite a hole in the back has made quite a holte Tn the back field of the Tigers; for in addition to having to replace him, the coach had to find fullback to take the place made vacant by the candidates. The shifting isn't over yet. and will probably continue until the end of the season.
 No dope is available as to the rel ative merits Of Sewanee and South Carolina. Neither team has played another team whereby a line can be gained on the other. Also neither team has played each other for many years. Clemson's defeat Of South Car oiina by the margin or one Held goal argues well for South Carolina's defense. and the Tiger backs will probably have difficulty In penetrat- ing the line of the Columbia players. Whether the South Carolina backs can get through the purple line is a matter of conjecture. Alabama had little difficulty in gaining through the line until near the goal; then the Tigers stood like a stone wall. Aerial Play Expected. It is probable that the game will bc played largely In the air. pro- vided the day is a good one. The Tigers have little to offer In the way of aerial play as yet but this week Is expected to show considerable improvement in that department of play. as the Tiger backs are too light to be rammed into the line time and again when there is little pres pect of making the needed dis tance. It is probable also that fuil- back Sanders will be called upon to do a good deal of bunting, as In the Alabama game. The big boy is ex~ pected to keep up his good record in that department which was a great factcr in tho Alabama game, and without doubt enabled the Tigers to tie the much heavier Thin Red Line.'
 Willard Returns. The return of Mlllard to the line, while causing q few shifts, gives the coaches the opportunity of plug ging up the hclc found by Alabama, and ought to mako the Tiger defense well up to what 1t was last year. If such turns out to be the case, South Care lima will have difficulty in going through the Purple for wards. and will have to resort to an open game, so much loved by the spectator.
 Miller, on end has shown in the
 
 little avail to attempt to make dis tance around his wing, for he has been consistent in turning back the opposing players. The other end Is perhaps causing the coaches some It, tie anxiety, but with Sanders and Perry, and Willard If necessary, to hold 1t down. there will be little dis tance gained by that route. Bidding For Honors Sewanee's three candidates for all- southern: Thug" Murray, at tackle; "Blood'' Miller, at end, and "Bill" Coughlan at ha1fback, are expected to continue the good work that has put them in the headlines in every game this season. These three fell lows are certainly playing the game of their lives. It is the last year Murray and coughlan will be with the Tigers. and they are out to make e a record for themselves and for the | Purple.
 A small contingent of Tiger sup porters will accompany the team to Columbia, leaving Sewanee Thursday night and reaching Columbia Friday night, with short stopover Friday morning In Atlanta, where they will be joined by several alumni.
