GUNTERSVILLE IS
 SHORT OF STARS
Only One Letter Man Back For
 Eleven This Year

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala, Sept. 15. Especial. Ut is too early to predict Guntsrsville's chances at this writing due to the fact that the coach, w. H. Burton, has not yet arrived even though school has been open for week. Burton is an Auburn and Ala bama product. In his absence Dexter Hovater, principal and eldest of the famous Hovater tribe has been putting the candidates through a conditioning test. Fourteen men answered the call Wednesday afternoon. There is only one letter man left from last years team, Charles Albert. Five members of the scrubs are out for varsity berth this year Practically all will be sure to land it too.
 Billy Turner and Howard Cornelius should have good year in the back field. Both are light but fast. Woodall, Seigler and Dunn will in all probabil- ity make the line. Among the new men reporting were Coleman, Snow, Jim and George Drake. Morton, Rabbit Cornelius, all light but aggressive.
 Games have been scheduled with Geraldine, Cullman, Blountsville, Scottsboro and Albertville. Other games with Arab, Gurley and Ft. Wayne are pending This will give an attractive and we'll balanced schedule.

WORKING
 ON FORWARD PASS
Bulldogs Have Galaxy Of Material For Strong -t Eleven

ATHENS, Ga, Sept. 15.-Inasmuch as school opens Wednesday, and the football boys, along with the other stu dents, will have to spend most of their time with their scholastic work, the Georgia coaching staff has been driving full steam ahead for the past week in order to have its men in proper condi- tion for the gruelling season which will soon be upon them.
 During the last few days most of the time was spent upon the field, and that doesn't compose half of the work allot- ed to the football candidates. The prac tice has been devoted to the funda- mentals of the game with the idea of conditioning the men thoroughly before giving them any unusually strenuous practices.
 The sight that presented itself all last week to those who wandered down to Sanford field through curiosity or in terest or both was one of 50-odd white shirted candidates who were closely fol- lowing the definite program prescribed for them by Georgias most efficient coaching staff The running of signals has been in order and the different plays have been run over the entire length and breadth of the field by three or more teams at time.
 Passing Stressed
 Besides this work, there has been worlds of kicking, running, lodging, passing, falling on the ball and picking it up while at dead run incidentally, the passing game has been stressed at practically every season with Morton and Thomson both showing up en- couragingly as accurate and adept passers. Heretofore, Georgia has used the forward pass for the purpose of gaining ground only when the team was in a position to safely make such an attempt, but this year it seems as though the pass will be a threat that the opposing teams must watch for whenever likely situation presents itself.
 In line with this plan, Coaches Wood ruff and Thomas have been working out various combinations, both in the back field and at the ends in the hope of making this type of offensive effective during the coming season, for the build and speed of the candidates for these respective positions augur well for the success of the passing game. Captain John Fletcher and Smack Thompson have been on the receiving end of many of these passers as they are both big and fast and have the ability to grab sailing football out of the air. From the present indications these two men are the most likely prospects of the end

GRESHAM WILL BE WITH TIGERS
  Star Tackle Of Two Years Experience Is In
 Camp

AUBURN. Ala, Sept. 15.-(Special) Among the latest arrivals on the Au- burn Plains, who will be candidate for the Tiger varsity football team this fall, is W. P. Noisy" Grisham, star tackle on the 1922 squad. Rumors coming in for the past several days in- innate that the Limestone county lad might show up before the season was underway to enter college, but the re- ports could not be confirmed until to- day, when the Tiger star appeared in full football equipment ready for duty.
 In addition to his being a member of the 1922 team. he was also varsity man on the 1920-21 teams, but was kept on the sidelines the greater part of 1921 on account of illness.
 Grisham's appearance on Drake field Monday afternoon boosted the forward bulwark in both experience and which he is familiarly known on the to the big tackles disposition or charac- teriSticS as he possesses a very quiet and unassuming nature. His de- meanor under fire, on the football line, is vocally, about the same as in every day life, but opposing tackles and in reference men find it hard sledding to escort the ball carriers over his sector of the line. Grisham tips the beams at near the 200 pound mark
 Should the big lineman again be as signed to his old place at tackle along with Red" Harkins, Minnie" Brice, English and others coming over from the freshmen team of last year, the sea- son should start with the tackle posts in good shape. Grisham is resuming his studies in agriculture and educa- tion preparatory to entering an eastern university next 1ail.

positions and they should make Georgia the best pair of flanksmen she has had in many a day.
 There is no possibility this early of positively doping out what might be termed the first string men, and more than likely when the season is entirely ov.r this same question will still be considerably in doubt.
 Day Best Center
 Rose Day, due to his brilliant work of last year, is the most likely candi- date for center, and naturally is being used more regularly than the other can didates. Tippin will not return, but Clay, Wilder and Sage are capable of holding dwon the place, with Day at center, Jose Love and Levie at guard, Jim Taylor and Luckie at tackle, Fletcher and Thompson at end, most formidable line is presented. This com bination has been used a good deal in the practices to date.
 One of the backfields that has been used with this line is made up with Fitzpatrick at quarterback, Morton and Randall at half, and Thomson at full Placing these two groups together on a football field, one would have about as likely looking team as could be asked.
 Other squads have been composed of Clay, Wilder or Sage at center, Car michael and Milt Day at guard, Mapp, Rogers and Bass at tackle, and Forbes, Johnson, Curran, Smith, Cloud or How ard at end. In the backfield Moore and Hollis have been used at quarter, Wiehrs, Nelson, Kain and Sherlock at half, and Butler at full.
 Decision Puzzles
 From this mass of men the coaches will have to take their choice, and at present the making of that choice seems to be one of their hardest tasks. Un- doubtedly they have at last thirty-five men who are better than the ordinary run of football players, and by reason of the fact their jobs of picking out the right men for the right place is not very enviable.
 The football spirit in Athens is high right now for the fans believe that GeOr- gia will have its best team in many a year. A close follower of the local teams has estimated that the squad this season should be at least 9 per cent stronger than the one of last year, and that seems to be a conservative estimate. Beyond all double, with Fletcher and Thompson at the ends, great weakness which was apparent last season will be overcome, and with the reserve strength in the line and the backfield, both the defensive and offensive will be much stronger.

.SEWANEE TIGER
 WILL BE STRONG
Coaches Taking Advan- tage Of Exceptionally
 Cool Weather
By Ripley

SEWANEE, Tenn, Sept. 15.-(Spe- ciaD-After a week of preliminary work, the Tiger squad, about thirty strong, have begun running signals this week. After fifteen more hopefuls are expected to report before the for nal opening of the college on Thurs day, the 18th.
 Coaches Bennett and Moore are talk ing advantage of the coolest weather that ever greeted a Tiger squad, and are sending them at lively clip. Most of the men came back in good shape, and are able to stand the going. Two hard workouts a day is the program, and the men are putting more dash and spirit into the work than ever before.
 Among those reporting are several veterans, including Captain Flop" Willard, Haynes, GoOch, Perry, Kent, Barker, Gibbons, Mahony and San ders. Several freshman stars of last year are on hand, the more prominent among them being Helvey, Young, Bea- ton, Guitar, Clark, Todd, the Aucoin brothers, and the Kirby-Smith broth CTS.
 The line should be strong. On the left side will be three veterans |: Haynes at end, Capt Willard at tackle, and Beaty at guard. This combina- tion last year was strong, and with added experience should be one of the strongest in the South this year. Coach Moore is worrying some over the cen ter position and the right side of the line; but he has several big men of experience to select from, and he will without a doubt build strong right side with them. Right end will be well taken care of by the two veterans Perry and Kent,
 The backfield should be one of the strongest that has ever worn Purple uniform. With Harris and Gibbons at halves, Mahony at full, and Barker at quarterback, the backfield has plunging power, running strength, passing ability, and good kicking. Mahony is a triple threat man of ability; Harris is a great runner and passer, and both Gibbons and Barker are good plungers and runners.
 Coach Bennett is well pleased over the prospects, and believes it is Tiger year.
 The first game will be with Tran sylvania College on Saturday, the 20th, on the Mountain, followed by South western Presbyterian University the following Saturday, also on the Noun tain. Cafson- Newman comes to Sew anee on O@. 4 to again try the Tigers mettle.

FURMAN ELEVEN
 WILL BE LIGHT

GREENvILLE, S. C., Sept. 15,- Belief that adequate weight with fair speed will count as important factors in the game against Alabama and other big teams this season has been ex- pressed here by Coach Laval of Fur man. The Furman football line will average 175 pounds per man, and the backfield will probably be slightly heavier, it is said. -
 Dodson and Lanford, guards, tip the scales around 1855 pounds, while Brown and Smith, the prospective tackles for the Purple Hurricane, weigh around 175 or 1S0 pounds, it is said. Tilgh- man, at the left wing, tips the scales at 176, while Coleman and Robertson, at center, each weigh around 173.
