ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 1.-THE first

strong reserves for next year, but has
weakened the 1922 elevens, in the
opinion of number of representa-

Prospects that the question of
freshmen players will make the con-

and predictions that it might even
cause the dissolution of the associa-
ton were forecast in statements from
several institutions, particularly from
among those with the smaller student
bodies.

Sewanee Favors Rule.
On the other hand, the University
Of the South (Sewanee). which has
one of the smallest student bodies Of
any institution in the association,
voiced the opinion through w. H.

Choose Captains
For Three Senior
Basketball Teams

Three captains for Y. NJ. c. A.
Senior League teams have been chosen
by the "Y'' basketball committee.
They are Stein Sara, Jimmie Braz-
zell and Tobias Herschovitz. These
three men, in addition to being star
players, have shown the ability to
lead a team and this prompted the
committee to appoint them captains.
The fourth team will be selected
from either DeMolay Y. M c. A.
members or High School Y. NJ. c. A.
members. This will complete the
league. Schedule of games will be
arranged soon. Double headers will
be played every Wednesday night at
the ''Y' gym.
The probable refrees for the league
will be H. R. sharpless, Forsyth Caro-
and Huxley Carter. Every member
Of the senior class is now practicing
and all should be in good shape by
January 8.

Said as a result Of men Of this class
trying to make the team.
Mp. Mackellar was joined in this
statement that the rule had resulted
in better training Of reserves for the
varsity team by~d. J. White of Tu-
lane University, and r. L. Sullivan,
director of athletics, University of
Mississippi. Southern varsity foot
bail teams have long labored at a
isadvantage as compared to northern
elevens by the lack of trained mater
| ial, according to gridiron observers,
who have pointed out that only in
comparatively recent years have Dixie
high school teams been well coached.
The practice Of playing high school
footbaf1 on a basis similar to the col
lege game, which has been customary
for years in the north. has poured
quantities of well drilled football ma
terial into the teams above the Ma
son and Dixon line every season.
Alabama Optimistic.
The University of Alabama, which
also approves the one year rule, &C
cording to Charles A. Bernier, athle-
tic director, expects to have no less
THAN a score of men from the fresh
man team to add to the nucleus left
from this years eleven. Sewanee ex-
Epects many substitutes, long need
at the institution, as a result of the
rule, and Mr.. Mackellar expressed
confidence that six men, Barker,
Haynes, Mahoney and McQuiddy,
backs, Gooch, end, and Barclay,
center, would make the regular team.
The University of Florida, whose
freshmen eleven claims the Freshmen
championship of the south, is count
| ing on wealth Of well-trained ma
tterial to make the 1928 Gator team
the best in it's history, especially as
the Florida regulars expect to lose
only four men at most, Gum, Doty
and Duncan, Hnesmen, and possibly
FulIback Dickson.
Washington and Lee University and
the University of Mississippi both be

GAINESVILLE ON
LATTR'S FIELD
Matter Of State Scholastic
HoROrs Will FinaAy Be
Settled Saturday.
(Rv Associated PressN

GAINESVILLE, Dec. 14.-Footb
teams from Miami and Gainesville
high schools will meet on University
field here Saturday to settle the moot
matter of the state scholastic cham
pionship.
Arrangements for the game moved
rapidly today following an acceptance
by Miami of a revised offer from the
local school. Local business men have
guaranteed $1,000 to the visiting team.
Ted Arnold has been agreed upon
as referee. Miami had previously re-
fused to play on the home grounds
OF the Gainesville squad, but had Of
fered to play anywhere else in the
state. Officials Of the two squads
continued their negotiations early to-
day with a resultant agreement annie
able to all sides.
With the game definitely scheduled,
speculation became rife as to it's out
come. There seemed to be little doubt
that regardless Of which team wins,
it will be one of the best games play
ed in the state this season. Both
teams came in championship finals
by virtue of going through the season
without a defeat. Gainesville's sched-
ule embraced the stronger teams, but
Miami on the other hand. had hardly
been pushed to its full strength.
Both teams played Plant City,
Gainesville winning from that squad
IS to 0, and Miami rs to D. The size
Of a score is usually a poor basis for
prediction, however.
MIAMI, Dec. 14.-Bighteen players,
two coaches and the faculty manager
of the Miami high school eleven left
this city this afternoon for Gaines
willie to meet the high school football
team Of that city Saturday for the
Florida inter scholastic gridiron cham

Whole Life Eventful.
When a young man, Griffith went

take part in the 1916 uprising at Dub.

Griffith was twice arrested for his
POLITICAL agitations.
