Sept. gins to.loojt a IE Tigers win go Into the big gamo with-the University of Pennsylvania on October 7 without tho benefit of any( practice gttmee.

The schedule makers last year failed to obtain any definite promises of games with Bryson College and Middle Tennessee Noripal, and when this season rollod around. It was too Into to uiako tbe engagements. The Tiger management has been scouring tbe nearby towns nud cities to book a gnma, and has fulled. At one time it seemed that a game with tho University of Chattanooga was probable for yesterday, but Charto noogn bad a gaino Bryson scheduled for Friday, nnd did not feel that the gome could be cancelled. The Tigers ogreed to take on both Chattanooga and Bryson In a double header on the Mountain on Saturday, but tho arrangement fell through.

Good Team In Sbupe. Despite the of competition with tennis other towns, tho Tigej coaches are plugging awny nud. bringing the, team Into some sort- of shnpe. All of tho first string men, except MnjfL Moore, seem eligible to piny. Mooro Is having trouble with the faculty, and It 1b.

hardly possible he will get In tliu early, games. In fact, ho may not be able to piny until the Tonne8seo git mo on November 18. Ills loss la going to bp 'felt nt end, as he was. counted on to take the berth made vacant "Papa" Conway's graduation. "Sonny" Perry and Lnugston Nelson seem to have the best chance to hold down the end, while MLpore Is browsing through his books.

Perry has considerable weight and Is tost. He Is showing well on the wlhg. Ho and Miller, on tho other end, ought to make a good pnlr before tho 'sea son Is out. Cooper Litton, lost year's regnlnr center, is on tho job. having satisfac torily arranged his troubles witb tbe powers that bo.

This hard playing center Is going to make trouble for lots of opposing linemcu between now and Thanksgiving. Hurd at Work, Hani Bprlmmaces are held every day, nnd much forward passing is being practiced. The second string men making tbo varsity work for everything It gets. The work is no child's play. Tommio Tomllnson, who holds down nu end on the second string fellows, got his arm severely twisted tp a practice game tho other' day.

For while It was thought broken. Tomllnson gamely plnyoo throughout tho game, hut has heeu adorulng the side lines for several' days. Gibbons of Memphis nnd Simpson ot Birmingham are two of last year's reserves who have been showing inuen form. of lake in tho biickfleld. liofnre the season Is out, both of these boys nuirliE to make their letters.

They are flint and hard, and. some lack of weight- does not seem to iutorfero with tneir playing. Football Results Anliurn 72; Howard 0. Ifnlveralty Georgia 41; Mercer 0. Mercer 0.
