pTODdDIy got the most tun out
of yesterdays inquest.
Seldom any man lives to be
present at his own autopsy.
When located at the ball park
and asked if he was willing to
be quoted, Harris only COM
ment was, Dead men tell no
tales"
Being reported dead is an
adventure which comes at least
once to most every great maj
; who ever lived-and Harris is
no lost motion.
No, indeed; Harris is no ex-
cess baggage, neither is he any
flotsam nor jetsam. Nonenti-
ties like him don't come in every
package. He sticks out all over.
And he was somewhat chagrined
himself this morning when he
hoped out of bed, looked in the
mirror and discovered what
liars people really are.
Mark Twain was the first
literati to tell obituary writer's
that they were making a noun
tain out of a molehill.
Asked if he was dead, he
stroked his whiskers and replied
that the rumor was very much
The interviewers
had to find another corpse.
That's the way it is with
Bucky Harris. He was the
livest looking cockroach you
ever saw this morning when he
ordered his pancakes and coffee.

Griffith, president of the Washington

None of the National veterans will
be permitted to play Winter base ball, +"
Griffith said this morning. They
may manage all the teams they care

Defensive linemen always should
be in their charging positions. They
should hurry to these positions as
, soon as the opponent has the ball or
as soon as an opposing player has
been thrown when carrying it. The
defensive position of the linemen is
shown in the illustration on the left.
lineman on defense should never
stand up or be out of position, no mat
ter what positions the attacking team
occupies. The reason for this is that
there is no rule in foot ball compel
ling the team with the ball to wait
until all its men are set in charging
positions before putting the ball in
play. Frequently, teams with the
ball will run a series of plays from
one signal. The reason is they know
the defensive linemen will not be in
their positions on the second play of
this series. They will be standing
around in erect positions and can
easily be blocked Warner. when

plays to a high point of efficiency,

McKibbon Of Vanderbilt and Hol-
land of Virginia stand out clearly from
a fine field at tackle. RiveS of Wander
bilt is a great tackle. Tharpe of Geor
gia Tech has played great ball all
year. Luckie of Georgia lacks only
quickness on the charge to be the best
tackle in the South McKeever and
Robinson of North Carolina, who have
been alternating at center and tackle,
are both fine players.
Holland who has the edge on all
these, is one of the fastest chargers
and the best knifer through the inter
ference the writer has seen this year.
He is steady and cool and keen di-
agnostician of plays. Mckibbon has
all the requisites of good tackle and
has been outstanding for his team in
it's good defense.
Guards Are Powerful.
Buckler of Alabama and Goodwin of
Georgia Tech are great guards. Both
love the game and both are men of
great endurance. Goodwin is seldom
found out of his position and offensive
ly is great charger. Buckler is a
consistent guard, a fine field goal
kicker, a good interferer and fast
down the field. Both of these men are
heavy and well built for the work of
guards. Rogers and Smith of Georgia
and Levy of Tulane deserve com
| mendation for good work
The choice of a center was a difficult
one, as few centers have been sensa-
tional and the entire crop very good.
Poole of Georgia Tech. Mckeever of
North Carolina, Sarro of Florida
Hawkins Of Washington and Lee and
Holmes of Alabama are equally good
Forbes of Georgia is easily the best
| ball passer the writer has seen. He
| has held his own against and has out
played many heavier men.
Hubert has been playing quarter
| for Alabama for two years and under
his direction the team has not lost a

having a coach on the field. He is
