Tt has been many years since the West has seen *i.\ halfback that equalled Craig, the ight\ Michigan backfield man. His errifii line smashing and his won derful ability in circling tlie ends was largely responsible for Michigan’s i 'lories. Norgren, of Chicago, an- • 1 er marvelous player, is a worthy partner to Craig in the backfield.

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. “Chick” Declares That Day on the Links Restores Tired Busi ness Man’s Nerves.

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 will gel into the game at Fort McPher son fLu t urda' i member "I the Ml- p:*. i C am is ; i- Ijf kb the Sol • tier* By “Chic" Evans.

He may have gone to bed very tired the night before, but the fresh air and happy memories of a good game insure a good night's rest and he comes back to his, work with new vigor. He is in high spirits and feels ready to meet anything that comes his way. Tfe may have left the • office early on Saturday, tired and discouraged, with no interest in life, ! but he returns t.o it on Monday morn ing, exhilarated and happy, fully real- | izipg how good it is to he alive in a j world where there is so much to en joy an interesting sport with pleas- j aril companionship. aTW tlie fine appe- I tite of the outdoor man. * • * ('T'lir^RE something very restful in * a mental picture ot a golf course the arching sky, the sweeping wind.

Dec 3 An nouncement was made to-day of ihe release of Doc Newton, veteran left hander of the Memphis club, to the Gal veston club of the Texas league The deal was for a. cash consideration. How ever. the amount received was not made public. According to Manager Finn, the re lease of Newton is merely the begin ning of a. series »f releases which In the end will practically exterminate the present pitching corps. On excellent au thority it is learned that Billy Parsons and others of the 1913 staff are to fol low in the wake of the veteran New ton. Apparently the Galveston club is to he made a farm of the Memphis club, inasmuch as Manager Sentell has been granted every favor asked of Manager Finn, of the locals. ALBERTS STOPS PHIL CROSS.
