There may be other teams with as

Now of course 1t would be folly to
attempt to say which enc of these four
teams will have the best record when
the season ends. To begin with there
isn't a weak team In the conference.
In the old days there were plenty OF
set-upS. Now you stick your head up

get 1t knocked of, and the best teams
usually have it knocked of once or pos
sibly twice during season.

Now, about my own eleven, Wander

at the beginning Of my article told me:
you seem to have faded cut of
the picture this season. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that with the loss
Of SO many veterans, Vanderbilt can
not have very good team. Even your

Well. Vanderbilt has lost both tackles

This ordinarily would convince
coach that he couldn't hope for

have hope and faith; If the first is lost
the game IS up.
Upon successive Saturdays in Novem-
Der, Vanderbilt plays Alabama, Georgia
Tech and Tennessee, strong teams. We
are planning to move Abernathy in from

sophomore tackle prospect in Morehead,
one of the best guards in Southern his
tory in John N. Brown, good reserve
guards and center, and a sophomore
center prospect in a. brother of the
Sharp boys, each of whom in the last
eight years has played three years as
varsity center.
We have some good sophomore backs
and number of men working faithfully
for the end positions. If We can de-
velop good ends, the right type of sig
nal caller and skillful passer or two,
all of which, though not probable, is
possible, then Vanderbilt will excite
the interest of her Southern Conference
adversaries.

The University of Tennessee, with a
fine crowd of sophomores and many
veterans, including the brilliant .Dodd,
Hickman and McIver, Is impatiently
waiting for the battles to begin.
Many experts expect the University
of Alabama will have the best team in

believe that it will rank with the great
teams brought out by Wallace Wade,
which tied one game and won another

Now we come down to the inStitu-
ton which many consider had the
finest team In the United States last
year. In one of my articles along IN
midseason last Fall. made some
reference TO what great game would
be provided II West Point and Georgia
Tech were to engage. And this. no
doubt. at the time brought many q
doubling chuckle.
But shortly after Stanford had given
the Army miserable day, Georgia
Tech was decidedly outplaying a team
which had tied Stanford. Such things
are soon forgotten, but let me therefore
call attention to the fact that Tech
had a wonderful foot ball team and
that there are a number of teams in
the Southeastern States which would
give a good account of themselves
against the strongest teams in the
country.
Gratifying to South.

Carolina state, thu Gamecocks are
likely to have anything but easy
assignments.
South Carolina has working out at
present a squad that is furnishing bet
ter material for a varsity than any
other South Carolina squad has ever
furnished. Capt. Beall at center Is In
great shape. and seems to be playing
the game Of his gridiron career. He is
expected to hold his own with any
other center in the South. Eughey,
williams and Smith are back from the
1928 varsity squad for guard positions.
but Moore. 200-pounder, who was
with the freshmen eleven last season,
is expected to come very near winning
a regular berth. One tackle position IS
causing a lot of worry. Monk" Shand,
a regular from last year. is holding
down the right side of the line salts
factorily, but the other side Is wide
open with several battling for the job.
In Gresette, Laval, who, by the way, Is
a son OF the coach; Powell and De
Vaughn. are holding forth capably as
flankers and are wag'ng warm battle
for the regular jobs.
Rhame Is Versatile.
Rhame. who played quarterback on
the freshman team last Fall and who
is regarded as star of first rank, Is
expected to do the same job regularly
for the varsity He is fine passer. a
great ball carrier. and has played lot
of foot ball. Boineau, star back of last
season, is expected to be one Of the reg
ularS behind the line. with Correll,
Edens. Culp and Hicks and Zobel doing
the battling for the other two berthS.
It is stated that Zobel. who has been
the broken field star of the team for
two years. will not be used regularly
this Fall. but will be sent in against
teams when they are tried.
No doubt, Laval lost two mighty good
men from his regular quartet behind
the line last year in the persons OF
Wimberly and Cooper. Both were big
strong fast ball carriers and both good
in about everything that pertained to
backfield play. Also Wolfe at tackle
and Rogers at end are likely to be
missed. To replace these, though, and
to Offset their loss. Laval got a wealth
Of material from his freshman team,
and also had seven weeks of strenuous
Spring practice. which ought to be very
valuable in his first two or three games.
Laval says his men are likely to make
mistakes at the beginning of the sea

the season progresses.

MAY FIGHT LAST
BATTLE IN SONORA

NOGALES, Ariz., April 10.-(P-
Indications that the Mexican revo-
lutionary forces were preparing for
a last stand against the federal
armies at the Nagales, Sonora, rebel
stronghold, appeared today.
Rebel troops were laying concrete
foundations for artillery pieces
hard by the American border. Two
emplacements were located on high
hills east and west of the town
close to the international line. Two
others were being set up on hilltops
+ tut a mile south of the border.
-Four rs millimetre (3-inch) guns
were said to be in the vicinity of
the emplacements. Whether these
were the four guns which were re-
ported to have passed through Mex
lean NogaleS yesterday was not
known. Federal leaders at that time
said the four pieces were being
moved toward Naco, Sonora, %
miles east of here. Naco is in the
hands of the federals.
The preparations at Nogales, So
nora; the arrival of Cen. j. Con
zalo Escobar, rebel commander in
chief, at Aqua Prieta, 80 miles east
of here, last night, and the retreat
of rebel armies into Sonora from
two directions convinced border OBJ
servers the revolutionaries we're ex-
pecting to line up along the border
for what may be the final phase of
the uprising.

reported they had had no word Of

not been seen ten minutes after he
left the flying field at Mexico City
added to the feeling of anxiety.
Optimism which persisted
throughout the night was fast shad-
ing into anxiety as hour after hour
passed without his having been
heard from. At his departure he
had gasoline for only twelve hours
of flying to cover a distance of
about 1000 miles.
Despite the lack Of news from
the aviator. the American embassy
at Mexico City refused to admit the
possibility of a miShap.
He is doing his usual stuff" it
was said there.
Officials called attention to the
aviator's habit of ~reticence as to his
destination when flying and ex-
pressed a belief he had alighted
somewhere, refuled without attract
ing particular attention, and con-
tinued on to New York, where he
expected to participate in the flu
neral obsequies for Ambassador
Herrick.
Embassy officials were led to be-

6 points to an advance of one point.
There was considerable bullish
comment on standard cloth statis-
tics which showed sales 2o.2 per
cent over production with an in
crease OF SO per cent in untitled
orders for March.
After some irregularity, prices
eased off to 1895 for July and
1886 for October. Active months
showed net declines of about 10 to
IA points by the end of the first
hall hour. Selling was attributed
largely to realizing or liquidation.
Fart of the early selling was sup
posed to be on a better weather map
than expected. , The forecast for
additional showers, however, caused
some uneasiness over the outlook
and offerings were well enough alb
sorbed on the early decline to steady
the market later. At midday, prices
showed rallies of several points
from the lowest, with artive months
showing net losses of about 4 to 6
points.
