John B. Kelly. general manager

''No evidence worthy 1t the

men to dabble with, and from them
he'll choose a first string which
should, as he puts it, ''have a
chance against any of our oppo.
nents.''
This peacetime season of 1915 will
be comeback for the Tigers. Last
year the team won only two Of
eight games, losing five and tying
one.
But the hackers of the Purple and
Gold tell you it'll be different this
season-and the facts tend to back
them up.
The Tigers, like just about every.
body else in the southeastern con-
ference, are going to use the ''T''
this year. And they have just the
key man for the system.
He's Y. A. Title, a cagey quar-
terback from Marshall, Tex. Tit
ties swift passes will go mostly to
Ray Coates, of New Orleans, and
Dan Sandifer, of Shreveport, La,
the two halfbacks.
Plunging the line will be Full
back Bill Montgomery, 188-pound-
err from Murphrysboro, Ill. Mont
gomery just returned to the Tigers,
after leaving to enter the Army
in 1912.
And if those four veterans aren't
enough to keep LSU offensive 60
ing, Moore has one Of the hottest
freshman prospects in the confer
ence. He's Harrel (Rip) Collins, a
Baton Rouge boy. Collins was lead
ing prep school scorer in Louisiana
last year, and he has looked so good
in recent workouts that he's even
been running with the first team at
times-ahead of Montgomery.
LSU will field a husky and a vet
eran line this season. with a lone
weak spot at end.
The loss of Terminal Bill McClel-
land has been a tough one for the
Tigers to take. However, Clyde
Lindsey. of Kilgore, Tex. and Ed
Sigrest, of Bogalusa, La, are both
battling ably for the vacancy.
Charlie Webb, of McComb, Miss,
who ran with the first team oppo-
site McClelland last year, will be
back at the other end.
The tackle position is no prob
lem, since there are four return
ing veterans-198 pound Earl Tul-
los, of Bogalusa, La; 202-pound
Fred Land, of North Lit, Rock,
Ark; 215-pound Arthur Porky)
Davis, of Pine Bluff, Ark; and 188-
pound Jim Bernhard, of Baton
