Conditions everywhere throughout
the south indicate a big year on the
gridiron. From Maryland to Florida

Mississippi come reports of prepafa-

Sanford Likes Outlook.
Prof s. " Sanford of the University
Of Georgia, president of the southern
conference and proba bly, in closer
touch with athletic affairs in all the
southern colleges than any other one
man. and during the past week a
visitor to Washington. thinks that
foot ball has never held out so much
of promise as this fall. 1t is his
opinion that there will be better
teams in the south than ever and
that the knitting of closer relation
ships between the several universities
and colleges should do much to build
up splendid spirit at the games and
finer and more sportsmanlike rival
rieS.
Especially does Prof. Sanford think
that some of the schools which prev
iously have not shown exceptionally
strong teams will spring some real
surprises before the end of the year.
Florida and Vanderbilt are specially
referred to as having fine prospects.
Florida is going to show Harvard
more than Harvard expects. accord
ing to the Georgia man. Also
Georgia is going to turn out another
powerful combination and should give
Chicago a real battle in the game
scheduled in the Windy City early in
October.
North Carolina schools loom up
stronger than usual II statement of
man connected with athletics in one
of the bigger institutions in that
state may be accepted at face value.
n nj hv
this coach. North Carolina University
will have one of the greatest teams
in its history. If not the strongest
by far. And North Carolina State, de-
spite the loss of several stars. will
bring out an even better eleven than
wore it's colors year ago. because
of the brilliance of several backfield
men who are to come from the fresh
man squad of 1921. and who will con-
trast greatly with the rather mediocre
year ago. Davidson and Wake Forest
also will have teams not to be de-
spised and both should offer strong
opposition to everybody they play.
Virginia Squads strong.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute. los
Ing only one man from its really fine
team of last fall. looks forward to
an exceptionally successful schedule.

ally good material. is expecting great
things. Virginia last fall had fine
lot of foot ball men,, but never got
the most out of them. coach Of
one of the universities played by
Virginia said to the writer. Virginia
has seven backs. any one of whom

having a stronger combination than
1t turned out year ago.
Alabama Poly and University OF
Alabama Clemson and University of
South Carolina, all should be stronger
than last year. and the statement Is
based on reports from those in close
touch with affairs at these schools.
And Coach Alexander himself. is au
thority for the assertion that Georgia
Tech will not be any less formidabl
| than in 1921. notwithstanding 1t will
be somewhat lighter. University of
Tennessee, University of Kentucky.
Tulane, Louisiana State, and Missis-
sippi A. and NJ. are not so well known
to local foot ball people as other
schools in the southern conference,
but all have been putting out strong
clean teams and are worthy opponents
at any time or place. orSin any sport.
No more capable aggregation, nor
cleaner set of men personally, have
appeared in Washington than the
basket ball teams Tennessee and
Kentucky have brought here within
| the last two years.
Local Schools Well Fixed.
Between now and the opening of
| the season much will be written of
| to say that better foot ball is likely
! to be played by them than was shown
\ in 1921 games. And that is saying a
good deal, especially in consideration

they have ever put out. University
of Maryland is figuring that light
ming is not likely to strike twice in
,, the same spot and that consequently
| it should keep more of its regulars
in trim straight through the season
instead of having them laid out for
half a year.
George Washington and Galludet
are expecting some good men in their
freshmen classes and with practically
all their last years players in line
SHOULD start with better material than
usual. George Washington will lose

ported and enters Georgetown, while
Catholic University is to be without

In the past fifteen years there has
not been a time when such a rosy"

South Is concerned. Better play. more
