SEWANEE STRONGER
FOR ALABAMA GAME
Three Stars Will Be Back In Lineup No
Players Injured In Texas Battle

SEWANEE, Tenn, Oct. 14.--(Spe-
cial. IA squad Of Sewanee Tigers, dis
appointed yet realizing their prowess,
returned to their mountain lair here to-
day from Dallas. There they met Tex
as A. & NJ, most powerful of Texan
teams, in battle. The Aggies scored in
the first five minutes of play. There
after it was Sewanee's game. From
then on the Tigers outfought and out
played the Texans. Three times were
they within the shadow of the oppon-
ents' goal post and three, times they
failed to put the ball over, all because
of the sweltering heat, SO unusual to
the Mountaineers. The lightning-like
Tigers completed some 20-odd passes for
over twice as many first downs as the
Aggies made. Authorities state that this
display of aerial work was the most
brilliant ever seen In Dallas.
Alabama Next
And now comes Alabama, the Pur-
pies ancient foe! Without a doubt
the Crimson Tide is one of the most
powerful Of southern football teams.
They have the odds against Sewanee and
they are doped to win but with team

The backfield, averaging only 162%
pounds, will be the same as in all pre-
ceeding games this year. Barker, ever
dependable and star against Alabama
last year, will be at quarter, while Har-
ris and Gibbons, both veterans of three
years, will play the halves. Mahony,
triple threat man, will be at fullback.
His play is improving with every game
ing ability against Alabama.
The most brilliant exhibition of the
year is in the flankman, Del Gooch. He
was a star with the freshmen team two
years ago but was out all last season
with bad ankle. His spectacular re-
turn this year will fill the shoes of

youth of 10. His defensive play is
smashing but his greatest asset in his
ability to pick passes from crowd.

the best linesmen Of the south.

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 14.-(Special.)
Monday was busy day for the Auburn
Plainsmen when they started the week 8
grind for the coming OF the Howard
Bulldogs to the Tiger campus next
Saturday, October IL. The squad was
divided into two teams who were hustling
up and own the greenward on Drake
Field working on new formations and
smoothing up others that have been on
the calender for some time.
The Tigers came back from Richmond,
arriving Sunday night, where. they took
an even break with the v. p. L gobblers
in a O to 0 tie Saturday afternoon.
Judging for the pace established by the
coaches Monday afternoon the Orange
and Blue squad apparently did not fare
badly at the hands of the Virginia
Techmen as every member or the squad
was in the drill and every one was

Auburn Looked Good.
From reports from the Tiger-Gobbler
affair Saturday the Auburnites showed
considerable strength on the defensive
but showed lack of consistent ability on
the offensive to threaten the Virginia
stronghold. The extreme hot weather
prevailing on the River James, where
the game was played and wet field that
furnished a bad footing for the backs,
are two reasons advanced for, the abb
sence of sufficient drive to count the
winning pointers for the Alabamaians.
Judging by the program laid out for the
Tigers this week by Coach Pitts these
reasons don't count and every effort will
be Unbiased to develop the old time drive
for use in the remainder of the games.
According to Tiger Chieftain heavy
scrimaging with emphasis on offensive
and punch will be on tap for the after
moons during this week.
The scrub team is being rounded into
shape by Ed Sherling, Tiger star back
of two seasons ago and with the weight

BULLDOGS WORK
FOR TIGER TILT
Scrimmage- Session With
Freshmen Team Held :
Tuesday

Coach jerks Gillem sent the Howard
Bulldogs through hard and final
scrimmage Tuesday afternono before
the battle with the Auburn Tigers next
Saturday in the Village of the Plains.
The Bulldog squad will finish their
weeks work for the battle with the
Plainsmen with two strenuous signal
drills Wednesday and Thursday before
embarking Friday afternoon for Ope-
lika, where they will spend the night
before the game.
The Howard athletes will be in fairly
good shape for the struggle with Au-
burn. Captain Ham Stevens, however,
may grace the sidelines when the locals
battle Pitts combine, due to a infected
foot which refuses to respond to treat
ment, and q bad side, sustained in the
Chattanooga game. Captain Ham is
unfortunate in his injuries, most of
them coming before big games on the
Howard schedule. Howard followers
are hoping the star punter will be back
in harness, although it does seem
doubtful.
Tink May Work
In case Stevens is out of the game
Saturday, the dimunitive Tinklepaugh,
one of Towards best backs although he
CARRIES very little avoirdupois, will gen.
eF{1 the eleven, while Slick Lollar, big
end, is in practice sessions, although
his punting was rather weak when he
was called upon in the Chattanooga
game. jerks Gillem, however, will
teach the big fellow to punt, if the
ability is there, and there it seems to
be- Tink will handle the team in fine
fashion should he get the chance Satur-
day, although he, too, is still suffering
from bad knee.
Brooks is still on the injury list, al
though he will probably start the Au-
burn fracas. Mccarthy has a bad ell
bow which has been worrying him since
the 'NoOga conflict. Both of these, as
well as majority of the regulars, were
held out of the scrimmage Tuesday
afternoon by Coach Gillem.
Freshmen Face Varsity
The freshmen, in the scrimmage work
out, faced the varsity with Auburn
plays, and, with the second-stringers
chiefly to face, were fairly successful.
The passes of the freshies, using the
Auburn plays, were especially success
full. However, Gillem is confident that
the Bulldogs will be able to hold Dean
Peterson and company in check should
they essay the aerial attack.
Gillen will send his eleven into the
game Saturday to play offensive foot
ball, and to put over win on the
Tigers if possible. Should the cripples
in camp get into shape, the Bulldogs
feel they have at least an outside chance
to defeat the Plainsmen.
Howard, following the Auburn tilt,
will melt another of the stronger elevens
of the Southland in Mercer University,
the game to be played at Macon. Fol
lowing the Mercer game will come two
engagements on home soil, Spring Hill
and Ogelthorpe being played in success
ion at Redwood. The Ogelthorpe game
is being doped as the best of the home
schedule for Howard, with the exception
of the Birmingham-Southern battle.

take these tips to heart" if he wishes
to improve his work with the wooden
clubs. Some of the pointers also hold
for the irons.
As the right elbow and left knee
bend for the upward swing, pivot slight
ly on the left ball of the left foot and a
little at the waist. However, in doing
this, do not exaggerate it so that the
left foot feels ''shaky." The left foot
should always hold firmly to the ground,
and at the end of the swing this foot
should not have moved appreciably from
its original position. AS a last point
er, practice until you can bring your
club down in the same arc which you
use to complete the upswing. If you
master this last point you will notice a
decided tendency for hooks and slices to
die out of your game.

Twelve Opportunities Remain.

Four full days remain after today
for Washington to take all of the
Fourteen Opportunities for practical
charity which are offered through the
Associated Charities. Two OF these op-
portunities have been closed. OF the
full amount needed to care for all Of
the individuals during the coming
year, $13,3SS, the sum Of sS,762.50 was
still to be subscribed this morning. To-
days responses will doubtless bring
this amount down to d lower figure.
A full subscription by small amounts
by Christmas day is desirable. The
more givers to this fund the better for

ing that large amounts are subscribed
by individuals and by organizat tions,
but this is a matter that appeals to
every person, and a far better result
is effected for community welfare If
the full sum were given in small dona-
tions by the greatest number of
people.

all Of these cases are worthy, and that
every dollar given will be applied di-
rectly to their needs. There is no
overhead" in this budget. The
amounts allotted to the fourteen
groups will all be spent directly upon
them. No organization expense comes
