Tba S. I. A. A. baa dona mora to develop foot-ball to this high, standard than all other force combined.

Wall tba association ia onlr a few years old. Its Influence baa bean phenomenal. By rigi-i rule and right-minded committee It baa pursed athletics of professionalism, ruffianism and Instilled the fairest sports rnanah'p. The Executive Committee ts exmpeeed of the following officers and member: Dr. W.

University of Nashville, JL'nivexslty of the South, University of Tennessee and University of Texas. Tba game In tba Booth that best eotn-psj-es with th games among the big tour jla tba East will be played ax Louisville Bn November 11 between the University of Virginia: and Vanderbllt University. Both of these schools claim the cham-'plooihlp aj both have some reasons back up their respective clalma. They have only met on the gridiron twice.

Van repeatedly challenged Virginia, but would not get a game till when one was played at Atlanta. Each aide made a. UKichciown. but VaaderbUt failed to kick goal, making a score of to 4. though was some exception taken by Yaii-Iderblit, which was decided In her favor.

Again In Kl they suet at Nashville and I before thousands of people the flnest game jof foot-ball ever played below the Ohio I river waa witnessed. Neither side was to score, although Vanderbllt revived the favor beoauca she kept the ball in Vlre-inla territory. It Is expected that game here will decide the champion-tahtp definitely, and betting will even, for In the game with North Carolina last year VanuVrbilt won by a much larger score than Virginia did play-ens aa-alnst the same team. As Louisville 'Is neutral ground both teams will have the same advantage, and the result will be a battle royal. Vanderbllt's next gam Importance will be with Bewaqee.

These 'two teams sieet every Thanksgiving day, and It la rot an unusual thing for COM or t.guw people to witness this game. Vanderbllt met sevsa of the strongest teams la the Sooth last ysar and was not Scored Che scored 141 points against her opponents. Virfftnia To Play Hera, Charlottesvllls. Oct. BpectaLp-lAt present the season Is not far enough advanced to forecast Vlrglnla'a history, though It Is possible to declare that ah will bar a winning team.

Whether this university shall continue to te champion of the South, as she claims, November will decide when Vanderbllt. 1a met on' the gridiron In Louisville, Ky. TVs candidates for the 'varsity have been1 In constant practice under efficient coaches aver since the university opened, and are already evidencing quickness and surenees la chair plityir.g. The raw material la abundant nioutth to afford ample opportunity to a-ood men for every position left vacant In the new team's make-up. Quite a number of the new men have had exjterteiice either in preparatory schools or college teems, snd they ars already adopting the "Vh-rlnta way and give excellent promise.

Ten old 'varsity players are again In college Collier, captain and left guard, tips the beam at pounds, which Is a little above- his. last year's weight, lie holds a loV-second record In the l-yard dash, snd a most enviable 1 xt-ball record. 11k comes of a prominent Memphis family.

lALLOWftwJ It Is too early to form deflnlt conclusions regarding the auooesa of the MM foot-bail team of th University of the South. Sewanee has suSered more this year than for several years In losing so many men from tba team of the former season. While only six men of the 'varsity have signified thslr Intention to bold up their alma mater's reputation by donning tha moleskin and appearing dally on th gridiron, ths enthusiasm and ability of the "candidates" have not allowed Se-wanee'a proverbial collect spirit to wan at all. For several days little waa don savs to learn signals, fall on the ball and develop "wind, but now Coach Jayn la working the boys up to the limit, running, kicking and learning new plays. Five old men are terribly missed en th team especially Wilder, the plucky Louisville boy.

who played at quarter-back last year, and who Is absent in Porto Klce with tne First Kentucky But regiment. It will be impossible to make god th loss of Col mo re, who for several seasons has been Invincible at left guard. Parrot familiarly known as "Poll." will be no longer seen at end. much to tne regret of Us wearers and admirers of the purple. Likewise the placts of Farrar, at center, snd Boiling, at tackK will have to be filled.

Luckily for Sewanee, the university develops much of its material In Its own grammar school, where the younger boys are tra'ned and prepared for places on the 'varsity. Thus Pearce comes with experience to the position of quarter, a flcj WUiod, who wan a aubaO v-v A tute on the end last year and who will also play this year at quarter. One of the best of the new players Is Crandall, who was trained at the Bellevue High School, Va, Ilia playing already demonstrate that be will secure a portion behind the line. Waters, who ts playing a good game at end. played last year with the team of the Texas Agricultural and.

Mechanical College. Cannon, of the Med. leal Department, will probably make a guard, where his welsht will tell In bucking the Una, In training he usually weighs about US pounds. Harrison and Klrkpat. rlcg, two other new men, will either make positions In the Una or bo substitutes.

Other men who will again be on the team are: Davis, of Louisville: BelMea. Claiborne. Simklns. Ktlpatrick, Gray, Capt. Smith Pool and Nlsbit.

gewanaVg schedule Is not complete. Sh will play Kentucky State College at Lexington, October a. and the University of Nashville Pesbody Normal) on October J5. Gamea will be played also with the University of Georgia, Tnlane, Washington and Lea, Texas and Louisiana, Stat college. The regular Thanksgiving gam will be played with Vanderbllt University, at Nashville, on November U.

This is always a closely contested game, and th University of the Bouth has almost as many admirers In Nashville as the Van. -I I a- 1 a capt. arrar cocpbc't. A LoulsvUl boy on th Vanderbllt eleven. derbllt.

Snffice It to ssy. however, that ho was Princeton's star pitcher in VT, and. though not a member of tb 'Varsity foot-ball team, he assisted In coach-Ins; before coming South. He spent six weeks this summer la the East consulting numerous foot-ball authorities and se curing plays for use In coaching, allies la i in -tarmty eleven.

Th enthusiasm engendered by several years of unprecedented success on tb gridiron shows no sign of abatement In view of the prospects this season. Tb Vanderbllt rooters ars wild over prospects and tb croakers see no opportunity of Indulging their passion. While rivals ars rejoicing over th absence of CormeU, Boo-ghor and Hassst.t, It Is a pleasur to know that their place are being filled by worthy successors.

Altogether, six familiar faces will be missed from tb team, all of whom were peerless. Th old men who ars again trying for places are Brown, at center; Langhorst and Btrtngfleld, 'at tackle: Whitman, at guard; Crutch Held, at guard: Miles O'Connor, at quarter, and Dye and Good son, at half-back, la addition to nearly all of last year's substitutes are on th field. Among th most promising new players ars Curtis, of tn Webb nobool. who eeema sure of a plac In th line: also Kdgerton, who ooutea from Cumberland University. Bnipe, who played guard on tb team of the University of North Carolina, baa donned the moleakua, and will la all probability get a place.

Powers, from Tuscaloosa, la very promising for a position behind th Un. There ar three two-bundrsd-pound-ers trying tor lino positions, whoso other SuelMcaUon are a good aa their avoir-upota. The team la already doinsr hard work against the scrubs, and under the instruction of tha coaches a getting Into winning shape. Lester Pant, who so successfully mansged the teem fast year, la again the "genial manager." Jo Goodseo. a well-known Louisville boy, Is captain.

He Is well fitted for the position both by virus of bis knowledge of the manly cam as well a by his popularity and Influence among ths team snd ia the university. This is Goodson's third, year on the 'varsity. He will be remembered as one of the flnest players on the Louisville Athletic Club team In 'Wand 'S4. Ill team la being coached by Dr. Robert Acton, wbo waa a stroke oarsman at Harvard, and who played guard and behind the (Joe on Harvard's famous eleven for three or four yeara.

He also holds a record In one or two running events. He has coached tb team fur two years, tn which time they were not scored sgalpst by an opponent en th bom grounds and only defeated In two games. Dr Acton ia probably th best known athlete and coach ever secured by a Southern team.

Th High School eleven has got down to the regular hard work. Dally, at the noon recess, signal practice la gone through on th large lot la the back of the school.

Scott Bullitt, who baa lust returned from Princeton, where he waa a substitute on the 'varsity eleven, will coach the team, assisted by Prof. Burke. On Thursday he allowed the team to line up against the scrub for the first time. The Interference was very good, but th boys were weak on the defensive. Th new men showed up very well.

FEATURES OF THE IT is too early yet to speculate on tb Chances of the different college foot-ban teams, but th UtU practice that they hav bad has shown ons Importable fact tb large dearth of linemen, Balf-backs or full-back are plentiful, bat th heavy fast men to occupy positions la th center of th line ars sadly lacking: This, simply proves tb statement often mad that a rusher Is th hardest position In tb line to make, says Harry Beech er, th noted foot-ball authority, lie does not com naturally to his duties, but must be trained and educated up to th standard of whatever college he may be at. There la a certain glory to th position of half-back, or a man back of ths Una. which causes youngsters to try for guch a position. Their dreams of running a hundred yard to a touchdown, of waving flags and vociferous cheers especially catch a boy who intends to enter Into this sport. This is perhaps tbs reason that the colleges receive every year a decided influx of runners and like players wbo bop to reach fame through the bero-Da c2 long runs and pretty dodges.

Tba bard work and nnapparent ffectlveness of a rusher do not appeal to their hungry consideration. What la the use of being a tack) and being mentioned only one In a newspaper while a half-back with bis wonderful course Is followed In flaming letters? It is a truism amonlr the coaches and xperta in foot-ball that half-backs often appear ready made, while tb linemen must be dressed up and bruised to gain a position with the standard. The question of team play rises Into such Importance la tb rush tin that It necessarily takes more time to effect perfect play In that position than that of back of tha Una. It is really a question of sev lng together against fotir, and mathematics requires a decided exactness in lis results. Th first few weeks of foot-baQ practle is th most Important of th year notwithstanding that ths public thinks differently.

It Is then that th captains and ceacher most so direct th material at their disposal that the right man is found tn the right position, that tb right gam Is played for the right success. How often Is It seen that a team composed of experts almost Is ruined or rendered nn-euocessful by the wrong arrangement of Its players. It Is not a happy captain who finds that he has been playing; a man at guard who should hav occupied the position of full-back, or an end rusher wbo should hav played quarter-back. The wssks now are the time to bring out forcibly wbo are generate and wbo ar noc Th material, good or bad. is at hand.

It needs simply direction and guidance. A team which might appear the weakest could be made the etrongest at the end of systematic, energetic and persistent management. A mistake In the governing of a foot-bail team mean the loss of a championship frequently, and this period tn th practle of a team is not ordinarily considered important. There Is a general tendency of those who' follow foot-ball to figure out their favorite and pets by th scores that ar mad. This Is a dangerous method, and one entirely opposed to the facta and workings of th gam.

It la amusing to as expert to listen to a compart on of th scores of th different teams during th season. Enthusiasts will mason that because so-and-so beats so-and-so so much, and th other team was below this average on the same gam th result between the two is a cinch. Ah. no, my friend; this ts wrong. A college team is run deeper than the aver, re idea.

For example, Yale does not ear whether ah beats West Point by a large score. It may be that she desire to work out a eertalB line of play and knowe that thsre ar men In th West Point team wbo will give ber the best practice on that Un of play: therefore. Instead of trying to defeat this team by a large score, she Is working out a scheme that will perhaps brlnr victory to her standard In the Princeton gam. And so It is with all big college. They know their weakness and their good points, and th good generals will use each practice gam to develop a line of Play or bolster up a point of weak, ness.

It Is not a question of bow many Sint they can score, but of how much ey can learn during this gam that will benefit them In that hard gam they bav got with Harvard or Princeton. It le her that tb public, are fooled, and they figure that because Princetosf defeats West Point by to and Tale win by to there is only on outcom between Yals and Princeton. In aa Interview with Frank Butter-worth la regard to tb prospects of the) Tal foot-bail team said: ar not worrying much about th nien back of tb line. There ar enough good candidate to select a 'varsity trio from, and still bav substitute who can fill their place satisfactorily if It Is nee asary. But th unusual scarcity of heavy hue material Is most discouraging.

How. ever, we bop soon to find, a few big men la th freshman class." In regard to th system of coaching to be need this year. Mr. Butterworth said that thus tar It had been impossible for Capt. Chamberlain to nnd any on who oouid devote all bis time to coaching th team this season.

He baa been trying bard to get th famous Frank lilnkey oosn and stay with th tssua all through cessful. Th regular training labia will be started oa Thursday at lira Belch's. Ths men wbo played In the big; games will be taitea nrst and tnen others who show up well In practice will gradually loin them. Th aspect of negotiation with roster Benrora in regara to nia taking WHftT FOOT BALL SITUATION. Keen Fltxpatrlck's place as trainer bn rain changed, sr.d It looks now as tf Yalo was not to havs Sanford, ths track and foot-ball managers not being able to come to a satisfactory understanding with him.

A special from Cambridge says of tb Harvard tram: Harvard team lined up against the scrubs for the first time to-day. Two halves of ten minutes each were stayed. Dibble wss tb bright, particular star of the afternoon, and started th applaus by a sixty-yard run from a catch and a thirty-five-yard end-circling run, for a touchdown. aMgard Wrightington and Jo Upton were out for the first time, and aided in the coaching. Hallowell is still suffering from his bruised leer, and will In all probability be replaced by Oray in Satur.

uay's game with Williams. Lawrence, the young oarsman and tackle on last year's freshm-xu eleven, and who has been doing the best work of any man on the squad, did fine work thia afternoon. The old men will have their hands full to keep him out of a regular place. Hetd's work at full-back continue to give great promise. His punting is ahead of anything seen on a Crimson gridiron for years, and his great weight make him a formidable man on defense and offense as well.

Just now he has a sor thigh, and Is being given easy work. Eilis proves himself strong as an interfere but. all around, tbe big fallow can not com up to some of the more experienced men. He has an even chance for a regular place, which will be lessened or Increased according to th form be displays during th com ins; week. "blaster" Burnett's US pounds and th dogged determination which be puts Into bis work make a man of ordinary capabilities ons that training will mak Into a "varsity player.

A week of Harvard toot-ball practle baa gone by, and It has become evident that, though Coach Forbes will have to fill practically all of tb line positions, the fight among th candidates hi gains' to be the fiercest that has occurred at old Harvard for some years. Swalm. who can Cftli'HB INTEREST THE FOOT-BALL PLATER INTENDS TO THE SAME AS IF THERE not bop to do any playing this year on account of the leg that be broke last spring, and Bool, the rushing guard, ar now practicing. Donald wil be Va his togs soon, but the chances of him keeping bis crippled leg In toot-ball condition are very slight. Possibly Mills will be mastered out with his regiment.

Among Boal's rivals ar Burden, wbo was center substitute last season, and who now weighs iOt pounds, sad Is strong aa an ox. and Sargent, who tried for the team at guard before. Hesidea, there are two freshmen who will cause Boat some uneasiness. Rainsford comes from Oroton. where be relayed guard and was the star of th earn, and HoUingsworth from th Hop-kinsoa School.

Only two men ar out for center and both are freshmen. Sargent ts only eighteen years old, and weighs 230 pounls. Th other candidate Is Eaton, wbo balls from the English High School, and there played tackle. There are tackle galore hi th field. Of these J.

Lawrence has thns tar been th most prominent. He I about a aggressive a player as appears Soldiers' Field, th only difficulty being that bo baa a tendency to become too frisky with his bands. played on th freshman team last year. Richardson seem to be certain of being end this year. He came very near It last season, and can not help making th 'varsity now.

Flncke. a little quarter back, with 1S pounds to hi cred't. Is being considered for the other end. Cochrane has been alternating at end and quarter, hot shows up at bis best at end. He has been practicing the kick-off during th summer, and ran give points to any man on ths team In this regard.

Daly Is now the favorite for quarter, on account of the quick. snspy way In which ha handled th freshmen last year. He can also play a good gam at half. A special from Princeton says: Th ra tf vival of hopefulness aroused by to-daya fins practle of th Tigers was sent down again tha afternoon when it was announced that Eert last year's fuuVback, will be unable to play this season, owing to a 'paralysed arm. caused by Mood poisoning.

It had been hoped that Wheeler would recover th free us bht arc. but it has proven otherwise. This, added to the tact that Crit Ayres Is la bad shape from a strained shoulder caused great anxiety In reference to the position of full-back. Pell, ths big freshman from Bt, Paul's Hehool, mads aa excellent showing in to-day's practice game, hitting the lino with force and puoung strongly. He greatly resembles McBrids.

of Ysie, In his tyls of play, but has lots to learn. Mat-tla was also used, and allowed fair form. Craig, last year's crack end. appeared for the first time this year, but did not play. He la reasonably sure of left-end he keep up his last year's form.

Tbe practle against the scrub waa fast and nappy. Th signals wers tn good working order, and every man was in every play. Hettcr. Suter and Palmer made the touchdowns, all On beautiful runs, akied by excellent Interference. Two halves of twelve minutes each war played.

A special from Philadelphia says: For the first time this season the University of Pennsylvania foot-ball team lined up are tost the scrubs at Franklin Field, and after fifteen minutes of hard play scored on touchdown. This was mad by Capt. Outland aftsr a pretty oavanty-fl vo-yard run around tha end. He was ably assist, sd tn Interference by Full-back Walker. Preparatory to the line-up Coach Woodruff gave tbe 'varsity a good drilling In signs! plays, practicing principally end runs and guards' back plays through left and right tackles.

Hare and Foiwoil are both kept oil the field; the former Is suffering from a sprained thigh and the latter from a bad knew. Neither will be allowed to play to-merrow against Gettysburg, but are expected to play on Saturday. Fourteen candidates wers taken to the training table to-day for the first time. Others will soon follow, but at present th training boas will only be sbl to accommodate these. see Gossip of ths Gridiron.

'Harvard's team, as now mad up, averages box 16S pounds. Wheeler, of last year's Tigers, is unable to play this year on account of a broken arm. Putnam, a tackle of "Dartmouth Cotlec team, has entered Cornell. He weighs SO pounds and has a reputation of being a -kably quick man. Harvard plays only two games from bom this fall.
