NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 20,
CUP).-There's an extra wrinkle
and one more gray hair adjoining
Genial Lowell P. (RedD Dawson
as he prepares 10 start the flnal
week of practice before his lu-
lane Green Wave collides with
Clemson in the seasons opener. !,
Dawson has been reading ana
hearing so much about Clemson
powerful Tigers that he has
hard time sleeping at night. irSi
he recalled that Clemson hcKed
Georgia Tech last season ana
then he learned the Tigers WiP-
ped Duke in a spring practice
game. ,,, pros
" When Clemson ran over fres,
bvterian is to 0 Saturday ana
kent the third string IN to keep
the score down, another halr
turned gray. ,...
The Greenies will have more
than a waYmup tilt on their hands
when they engage the Tigers in
next Saturdays matinee. They
are favored to win but Quarter
back Ralph Bond may have to
null out few mid-season tricks
to down the boys from South
Carolina.
1t will be out of the frying pan
into the fire, so to speak. After
the Clemson game. Auburn IS
next on the schedule and two
weeks after that the Green Wave
travels east to take on Andy
Kerr's Red raiders of Colgate.
Kerr's team rates as one of the
best in that part of the country.
The remainder of the schedule
calls for North Carolina, Ole
Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Sewanee
and Louisiana State.
Tulane has a pretty fair foot
ball aggregation but rumorS that
Dawson has a gang of Minnesota
boys on the squad are not true.
In fact, not one Greene calls
Minnesota home. He has a cou-
pie from Wisconsin, and one from
Indiana, but none Of the trio is
on the first string.
Tulane's attack will be directed
by Bond, a junior who played
quite a bit last year. Dub Mat
It's has the potentialities Of star
and showed ability as sophomore
in the backfield last year. Billy
Payne is fast as a flash and one
of the best Quarter-milerS any
where around. Bill Flowers prob
ably will fit in at one of the
halves.
Dawson's ace in the hole for
the backfield may be a sophomore
named Leonard Sauer. Some OF
his more ardent admirers claim
he has all the better qualities of
Ted Coy, Red Grange and Don
Huston and will be the surprise
sensation of the year at fullback.
He is a big fellow, weighs 100,
and his brother was an all-Amerl-
can at Nebraska not so many
years ago.
The Tulane line, from tackle to
tackle, Will be a last, nafd-chaIS-
ing unit. Bernie Smith is the
center with Normal Hall and Nor
man Buckner playing alongside
him at the guards. Bill Kirchem
and Ray Miller are the tackles.
Hall proved a star in the Geor-
gia game last season and great
things are predicted for him this
season. Kirchem is the best of
the sophmore linemen and should
fit in with the veterans. :,
Tulane probable will be rated
the underdog in a number OF
games but they have a chance to
upset any of the teams on the
schedule. Louisiana State and
Alabama appear to have too much
manpower for the New Orleans
school but the Greenies will have
a real chance to upset any or all
of the others.
