Nov. 14.—Confi dence reign* ugaln In J’ale'a football world und the development! of yes terday’* practice form the reason. Tile great Tad Jones returned to his old form -and once more the squad i moved smoothly, but fiercely, with guidance and example of their great football player. By general consent Jones waa left to outline hi* own policy, not a sugges tion being given him about running his play. 1 From the side lines It looked as If he was a young tornado In action. He caught one punt and smashed through a broken field for seventy yards and touchdown.

He made the mistake of feinting j ! the first round away In order to draw j hi* man out. The left lead was weak and he never called on bis thunderbolt right once-during the first round. On the other hand, Memslck was try ing nil the time. He retreated before Neary’* swift advance, but as he re treated he let fly with his right, aiming always for the Jaw. Charlie ducked his fat face a little, hoisted his left shoulder an Inch or two, and kept edging nlong, reaching out wltl^ls left hand. He said afterwards that he was j feeling Memslck out a bit.

Dan Uluke and John Craig, combined with Fullback Manler, form the most remarkable trio of gtpund-galners which the Houth has ever pro duced. Both Blake and Craig are men of no great height, but both are broad as they are long and strong as they are broad. Unlike most big men. both are fast and In the spring do fancy stunts in truck meets. Dloke Is an excellent "quarter mller.” The ability of these men to gain ground will be demonstrated Satur day in the game against Tech. will not soon forget.

For one thing, the New York Ameri cans have no extra litfleldcrs whom they could smuggle out of the League. If thoy tried to secure waivers on any of their surplus men these men would be gobbled up b>- some of the weaker clubs of one big league or the other. Another reason why New York Is not likely to give Atlanta any playing atnra l. that Farrell and Griffith own the Montreal Club of the Eastern I.engue and will naturally drop any of their surplus supply of playing wonders Into that aggregation. It looks ns though the foxy stunt for the Atlanta moguls lo do when they go to NFw York for the meeting of the National League, would be to turn the park over to some club which will In return give Atlanta that third baseman that Billy Smith Is still scouring the woods for.
