Mike Donohue To Put Out Strong Eleven At
 L. s, u,

NKws ORLEANS, La, Sept. 1s.- Louisiana's football teams have taken the field.
 Up in Baton Rouge, La, Mike Donahue is whipping the Louisiana State university into shape. More than 40 men reported to him for practice. Donahue's task Is one of the hardest ever tackled by any southern coach. He will attempt to rebuild his eleven and also meet some CT the strongest teams in the south while doing so.
 Here in New Orleans, Clark D. Shaughnessy has taken hold of the Tulane university eleven, and has 30 men seeking a chance to make the varsity eleven. Tulane this year meets the University of Texas, Van derbilt, Tennessee and Auburn. This IS the heaviest schedule Tulane has tackled since the regime of Shaugh- messy began.
 halfback In 1915, and who startled the country when he led the Cleve- land Naval Reserves into victory against the famous Glen Warner uni- versity of Pittsburg team, will be Mike Donahues first assistant at Louisiana State university. He has been coaching Springhill college of Mobile with great success and will make Donahue an able assistant, Knowing the style of football he teaches as well as any man in the south.
 After two light games, Louisiana State university meets Texas A. & M, at Baton Rouge, October 20. This will be Donahue's first test, as Coach Bible Of the Texas Aggies is al ways able to give a good account of himself. Before the Aggies meet Donahue they will have tackled Se- vance, which will have put them on edge for the game with Mikes team.
 Then Donahue and his squad travel to Shreveport, where they will play the Arkansas Razorbacks at the Louisiana state fair, october 27. Last year the Razorbacks easily defeated the Louisiana eleven and Coach Schmidt, eager to repeat this year, has gotten together formidable and speedy eleven.
 Louisiana State university also plays Southwestern Methodist uni- versity at Baton Rouge, November B. and the boys from near Dallas are said to have very strong eleven, who will make the charges of the former famed coach of Auburn step some to beat them. But Donahue is already counting the game as one won but Is not letting up any in his plans to spring surprises.
 Tulane, under the guidance of Shaughnessy, will meet the University of Texas at Beaumont, Tex, October 13. This is the first time in Il years that these two elevens have locked horns. This will make Tulane hustle as she only has two light games be- fore meeting the giant Texans. Coach Stewart of the Longhorns will have one of the heaviest elevens In the south.
 Tulane then comes back for light game. Then opens the hardest part of her schedule. On October 22 they meet Vanderbilt at Nashville. Me in the Southern Conference last year and gives promise to be one of the greatest elevens In the conference this year.
 Seven days later at Knoxville. Tu- lane will meet University of Tennes- see, November 3. Tennessee, led by Quarterback Campbell, who was con south last season is bound to bother Tulane In November 10, at the Crampton Bowl, Montgomery, Tulane will meet Auburn. Auburn will have the same line that they were sue cessful in stopping all their opponents with last year. Of course, they will have a change Of coaches but Potts who has been assisting Donahue for years, ought to have no trouble in whipping his eleven into shape.
 Coach Clark Shaughnessy of Tu- lane, realizing the heavy schedule he faces, is preparing to build the best line of substitutes that have ever represented the Olive and Blue. He is planning to have a double line, with at least two full sets of backs. This will enable him to make changes and still keep his best team in the field.
 Biernie Bierman, who comes from the University of Minnesota, where Shaughnessy also halls from, and both students of Dr. Williams style of football. Herman will be a great help to Shaughnessy in developing the extra material that is needed. Eddie Reed, former captain of last years varsity squad, will have charge of the freshmen eleven.
 Shirey, former Auburn star half back of last year. has already re- ported to Lake Charles, La, High school to take charge of it's team. He has a great chance to make good Ion his first job. Lake Charles had a very good team last year. and was in line for the state championship, and with most of the men back from last season, they will probably give a good account of themselves.
 ' 'Bo McMlllln, coach ol Cehleiiaiy college, at Shreveport. La, is hard at work rounding out the material that has reported to him to get a better team than last year, his first as coach. when he gave the college 8 great team losing only two games. He plays the Boston college this year. and he has told former admir- CTS in the east that he will show them team that will compare fa- vorably with Centre.
 Loyola university, the big Catholic university here, with new athletic field, has gotten together a formid- able eleven, coached by Jim Flynn, former Holy Cross star, Big things are expected of this Catholic univer- sity in the next few years.
