The Mountaineers were tempo

down, but generally showed the kind
of playing that figures to get them
rolling again this week. Earlier they
had won four straight by lopsided
scores, and so far, this year have
run up 208 points to the opposition s

is pretty short on material, especially
In the line. According to Forrest B
Crane, his sports publicity director,
Kern must rely in the main on

remainder take on seasoning"
Only newcomer to crash West Vir-
ginias starting lineup is Fred Stuvek

Sewanee Comes Back
On Grid as Unbeaten,
Unscore;d0 Team
By the Asseciofed Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 31.-The
Purple Tigers from sewanee. Tenn,
are back in the front parlor again
after lying on the doormat for 10
these many years.
Along with Montclair, N. j.,
Teachers, Sewanee, is one of the two
unbeaten, unscored-on football
teams in the country.
This years Sewanee team prob
ably Is as near simon pure as any
in the Nation, for the University Of
the South has no athletic scholar
ships and does not subsidize foot
bali players. 1t has played no
name" teams, but with total en-
rollment of only 500, has as formid-
able a football record as can be
found in Dixie.
In 1899, eight years after the Uni
versity of the South had organized
a. grid team under Coach F. G..
Sweat, an alumnus of Bowdoin Col
lege at Brunswick, Me-, the Purple
Tigers rode high. wide and hand
some. They smacked over Louisiana
State, Texas, Tulane, Mississippi
and Texas A. and M. on consecutive
days-scoring 81 points while all five
opponents were held scoreless.
Played to Great Record.
That year also saw them defeat
Tennessee, Auburn. North Carolina,
Georgia, Georgia Tech, Cumberland
and Southwestern, for season total
of 322 points against 10 for all op-
ponents.
In the fall of 1921 the Tigers
massacred Rice, 1920, but then
came a steady decline in the uni
versitys football fortunes as the
game became a big business and, as
present Athletic Director Gordon
Clark puts it, "the other teams got
too good for U.s."
After losing IS games in a row in
1878 and going winless in "a
contests, the university withdrew
from the Southern Conference.
Football at the university now
is on the same financial basis as the
English department, and the uni
versity underwrites its expenses.
Every one at Sewanee who wishes
may play football, and Win White,
the best coach the university can
hire, is provided to train aspiring
gridders. There Is no dearth OF ap-
plicants, with eight States repre-
sented on this years squad OF 56.
School Spirit Still High.
Nine years after withdrawing
from the Southern Conference, Clark
says there are no regrets at Sewanee.
The Purple Tigers take on Mary
vile College (Tenn.) this week. but
according to Clark school spirit Is
running strong and bonflres leap
Just as high as when they smacked
down the mightest machines in the
South.
Their record this year includes
a scoreless tie with Presbyterian
College, a 40 to 0 defeat Of Kenyon
College, "A to o win over Mississippi
College and 8 to 0 defeat of South
western.

Terps Hoping to Catch Potent
West Virginia on an OffDu

carded that power-packed forma-
ton for the T this year.
Maryland's hope of springing an
upset rest on the chance of catch
ing the Mountaineers on an off day
West Virginia had tough game
last week against Penn State and
has more trouble coming up from
Kentucky next week. Maryland
might catch it on an off day be-
tween those two big ones. Coach
Jim Tatum Of the Terrapins has no
worries about getting his players
keyed up for this one. The Terps
seem to play best against the tough
est ones, as they showed in the
Duke game.

O'Connor was the result of a "direct
defiance" of the ruling, which
Chandler said "he will continue tx

On September 10, Chandler said
he was advised that the White Sos

"The action constituted direct
defiance of the commissioner
ruling" Chambers statement said
O'Connor's contention, in which
he was backed up by the White
Sox executive ofiice in a statement
is that the rule involved bars deal

schools which are members Of the
National Federation Of State High
School Athletic Associations.
Chandler, however, said that on
February 2, 1916, the major leagues
at q joint meeting In New York had
passed through the high school rule
and that he issued a bulletin the

ruling to include all high schools. u
In subsequent bulletin, Chandler
