The
\ t 7HEX Lew Hardages all-star
\l football team clashes against
the Soldiers at Ponce De
Leon Saturday afternoon they had
better be prepared for a tough strug
gle. Lieutenant Devore is putting
the Soldiers through a hard work-out
these days, and plans to have them in
tiptop ^hape when the whistle blows
Saturday starting the combat.
The Infantry line is showing much
strength, and Devore think* with a
strong line his boys will have a good
chance to hold the all-stars. Devore
himself will be at one of the tackles,
which should prove a big help to his
players. Devore was one of the
greatest tackles in history, earning a
place on Walter Camp’s all-star
American his last two years with tlie
Army.
The Soldiers also have several play
ers w ho have displayed great individ
ual ability. Swartz showed last Sat
urday against the Eleventh L’avalrx
from Chattanooga that he can be de
pended upon at all times when han
dling the forward pass, as he heaves
the oval with wonderful accuracy.
Time and again he threw the ball
from 25 to 35 yards against the Cav
alry for successful pusses.
* * *
B INGLE,. the Soldiers' end. i« one
of the most dangerous players In
the South in kicking goals from place
ment. Whenever the Soldiers have
the ball within their opponents’ 40-
yard line, Pdngle can be counted on
to attempt a boot at goal. The Sol
diers are relying upon this youngster
f®r a couple of field goals Saturday.
The ali-star line-up tweeds no intro
duction. Kirk Newell. Homer Cook
and Lewie Hardage will be in the
backfield. Ray Morrison, the former
Vandy star, will be at quarter. This
backfield should be able to rip up any
line, and the fans should certainly
witness some dandy line-plunging
Saturday. Also Newell was about the
best player in the South the past sea
son at circling the ends. The back-
field players are all in fairly good
condition, and should be aljle to pull
through a full game.
* * •
| Cx’AL fans a*e showing much in-
terest in the game and a good
crowd is expected at Ponce DeLeon
Saturday. The opportunity to see so
many star players on one team is a
treat football followers do not al
ways have a chance to see. Several
of the players have not been seen in
action for years, and their appear
ance on the gridiron again is bound
to bring back recollections of their
former great plays. Bob McWhorter,
Homer Cook and a couple of others
have finished the r college career, and
this may be the last chance fans will
have to see them in action.

'Big Bill' Gardner-
In Business Here
HKAD TO COM HOME EDITION
"Rig Bill" Gardner, famous end and
backfield star of the Carlisle Indians'
football teams of 1904-1908. is in town,
and likely to be here for some time to
come, seeing lie has joined his equally
celebrated teammate. Charlie M ahoo, in
the employ of the local branch of A. G.
Spalding & Co.
Gardner is a big name in football. He
was a member of the famous Carlisle
team that came South to play Vander
bilt in 1906. and also walloped every
Eastern eleven it met, except Princeton,
whose styel of defense was made over
especially to stop the noble Red Ain's
system of forward passing.
More recently. Gardner has been en
gaged in coaching in Ohio and playing
professional football, which has come to
be quite a branch of sport in that State,
lie is in fine physical • ondition just
now. and there is a good ■ uan.-c lost he
