Five Linemen and Two Great
Backfield Stars of 1912 Will
Be Missing,
By Mike Donahue.
(Coach Auburn Eleven.)
A uburn, ala., sept n.—with
new students coming in and
matriculating in unprecedent-
<-* numbers, Auburn has begun to
turn its eyes and thoughts toward
the gridiron,. The prospects In gen-
orVh a . nd the probable return Of this
"T' b t ?v, articul lr player are the ques-
else Th^ n ,° Ver9hat i ow everything
v, Th w P yers that are already
here have begun light practice, which
consists mainly of forward passing
and punting.
Auburn will have some heavy losses
to make good in the non-return, for
various reasons, of some of her most
famous stars. Any line would be hard
hit by tile loss of such plavers as
b.amb. Meadows, Burns, Pitts and
Lockwood, and any backfield would
feel the loss of Major’s punting and
Ressijac s line plunging.
Of these Lamb and Major are the
only one* that have played their time
out. Ressijac, Burns. Meadows and
Lockwood have graduated. Pitts has
gone to Aruiapolis, where he will
make the Navy , a good man. Lock-
wood may return, and It Is to be de
voutly hoped by all Auburn support
ers that he will return to bolster up
any weak spots that may be in the
Auburn line. His weight, experience
and quickness would be of invaluable
help.
Some New Men Useful.
These losses seem enough to wreck
any team, but there were some good
men on the scrubs last year, who were
ineligible because they lacked the
necessary number of units, and with
some varsity substitutes that will be
ready for regular berths this year
that will make Auburn’s team come
up to the usual standard. There ap
pears to be some new material com
ing in that will be useful the first
year, which is something unusual in
Auburn’s football history. Cleveland
of Mobile; Hairston, of Marion, and
Prendergast. of Texas, are some of
the most prominent mentioned.
The severity of the football sched
ule and the reports coming from tht
different hostile camps are what is j
giving Auburn the most concern jut*
now. Of the eight S. I. A. A. games j
on the schedule, six are hard and they
come on consecutive Saturdays. Th«
first two, with Mercer and Florida,
might be said to be good practice
games, but that can not be said of apy
of the others.
After these two games, which are
on the campus, the team journeys to
Clemson to play the “Tigers'’ on their
native soil. The Carolinians are
claiming a heavy and strong team
this year, which means trouble for
all opponents.
The next game is with Mississippi
A. & M in Birmingham, and everyone
knows, by past experience, what to
expect there They lost* Williams, but
to the average layman it is hard to
see any loss there, otherwise, they
claim that they will be much stronger.
Then a journey will be made to i
Mobile, where Louisiana State Uni
versity will be played. They return
every player of last year’s team, to
gether with the captain, who was in
jured most of last year, and they |
are not at all bashful in their claims. I
Auburn players reported them Iasi
year as having the bpst looking ma
terial in the South. No chance to
ease up there.
Hear Tech Is Strong.
The annual game with the Black
smiths. of Atlanta, comes next, and
in their reports they are already con
testing the Southern championship
with Vanderbilt. They have corralled
a lot of prep stars and they will un
doubtedly have one of the most for
midable aggregations ever turned out
by Tech.
On November 15 come-' the Commo
dores to battle -with Auburn in Bir
mingham. Last year’s game still ran
kles and they are vowing dire things.
No further comment is necessary.
The following Saturday Georgia
will be played in Atlanta. They have
lost a good many players, but they
still have McWhorter. The chances
are, however, that they will not be
quite as formidable as last year, when
they slipped one over on the over-
onfident Auburnites.
On the whole, it appears as if the
teams in the S. I. A. A. would be more
closely matched than usual, and some
sterling sport ought to be the result
with the interest far greater than
ever before.

A BOUT this Bill Smith-for-Coun-
cil business, now.
Bill’s first Idea was that the
promotion of his alleged candidacy
was a big joke. Yesterday he decided
the Joke was being carried too far.
So Bill, who is an open and onward
sort of man, came right out with hit
side of It, and anybody who can un
derstand the United States language
will have no difficulty in finding out
where Bill stands.
"This is all blamed foolishness,"
began William Andrew. "It may be
more than that; I'm not prepared to
say. But it’s blamed foolishness, to say
the least and the best about it.
"Me in politics? Why, here I am
42 years old, and I never even voted
but once in my life. I don’t know
anything about politics, and 1 don't
want to know* anything about politics.
Baseball Is enough of a business for
me, and until I get through with base
ball you can bet I’m not going to mix
un in any other business—particu
larly politics."
Bill admits that he registered as a
voting citizen of Atlanta.
"But that had nothing to do with
that Sixth Ward Councilman thing,”
Bill says. "Atlanta has paid me the
compliment of keeping me to manage
the Atlanta baseball club for a couple
of years. This will be my home for
that length of time, and it seemed to
me only right that I should be a full-
fledged, regular citizen of Atlanta. 1
might even vote, although I don’t
know of anything to vote about very
much now.
"But so far as running for any of
fice, or letting myself be run for any
office, or getting mixed up ip politics
in any way—why, you just say for
Bill Smith that his entire business is
keeping Atlanta supplied with a reg
ular ball club, and that will keep him
out of politics and other mischief, and
you can bet on It.”

I T seems there is no end to football
material at Tech this season. New
men are reporting every day now.
Two cracks from I>ouisville prep
schools will be here In a few days.
They are, Mallory, a fast backfield
man, and Murphree, a big tackle, who
Is also a punter and good baseball
pitcher. They are both corking men
ftnd will give somebody a hard fight
for a place on the team. Gene Hill
and Carl Stone, two old Tech baseball
stars, got busy and dug these men up
down In Louisville.
Two more new men from Chatta
nooga are coming to Tech. Patter
son, one of the men, and all-city cen
ter from Chattanooga High School, Is
said to be a good man, while Kander,
the other man, a speedy halfback
from the University of Chattanooga,
circles the ends almost at will. Kan
der is also a trackman and baseball
player. Both men will report for prac
tice this week.
There are two other men, who, if
secured, are sure to beat somebody
out of a place on the varsity. One
of them Is a big fullback who punts
55 and 60 yards with ease. He stands
6 feet 2 and weighs about 195 pounds.
He is some man. The -other is a
heavy lineman with a lot of expe
rience.
This season bids fair to be one of
the greatest In the history of Tech.
Boy Wins Quarter
Swimming Title
NUW YORK, Sept. 11.—The 440-
yard national swimming champion
ship was captured at Travers Island
by J. C. Wheatley, a New York youth,
who entered the competition unat
tached and who has never figured in
a championship meet before. Wheat-
ley had to beat such stars as Gilbert
Tomlinson, the boy wonder of Phila
delphia, and the veteran L. B. Good
win. ‘Wheatley's time was 6 minutes
4 2-5 seconds.
At the end of the race Goodwin,
who finished fourth, announced his
retirement from swimming.

drome before their trip to
Chattanooga was marked by desper
ate riding by all hands, and it is not
to be charged to prudence that the
squad was able to make the trip all
in one section to the Mountain City,
where the members will race during
the G. A. R. reunion.
Morty Graves and Tex Richards
had it out again, and’Morty and his
Excelsior rather put it over Tex. The
latter, however, took hold of another
leg on Bill Stoddard's cup when he
copped the Southern championship
race for the second time. Tex has
only to win once more in this event
and the cup will be his—unless some
body sneaks In and wins it three
times in a row before he can put It
over.
rfarry Swartz had a rather easy
time in the sweepstakes, run under
the French point system. Lie was
first in all three heats, for a score of
30 points. Lockner was second each
time, and made 18, while Glenn
achieved two third places and Rencl
got the other.

C. Frank Cup Fund
Up to $75 Now
John D. Harrington announces the
growth of the Charley Frank funl
for a loving cup to be 375.
‘T think we can get a suitable token
of our appreciation with a fund of
|100,”’ Mr. Harrington said yesterday,
"and that is the aim I have set for
this collection. The fans certain;,
seem to want to do something for the
Dutchman who had so much to do
with the pennant coming to Atlanta.'
The riders will be back in Atlanta
a week from Sunday, after which
the races will be run Saturday after
noons. Manager Hudson Is persuad
ed that the afternoons will be cool
enough now for racing in the day
time.
When the bunch comes back, there
| will be several new faces, and among
them will be some of the best men
who ever whirled around a saucer
track. Samuelson brothers, from Salt
Lake City. Mike Caflrella, from Rome,
Italy, and Chappelle, from Brighton
Beach, hailed as the champion of all
motorcycle riders, are among th^Be
due to race In Atlanta In additfo'hto
the fast men already here.
