AUBURN. ALA.. Sept. 16,—Though
Speeli
TON, . _ ... __
the team that will represent the Au
burn Tigers on the gridiron the pres
ent season will be the greenest In the
history of Auburn prospects seem to
point to a schedule that will take the
gameness and endurance of a team of
veterans. No official announcement can
be made as yet to the schedule Sev
eral open dates have to be filled, nnd
negotiations are under way with a
couple of big Southern teams ar.d sev
eral good teams from the middle west.
It seems certain that Auburn will play
a couple of big games In Montgomery
this fall, and It Is possible that Se
wanee or Washington and Lee may
meet Auburn In Atlanta while Tech
is playing In New Orleans.
- Among the eastern teams under con*
slderatton by Auburn are: Ohio State,
champions of the middle wost for th«
season of 1916; Case SchoAl, and the
University of Cincinnati. Tha schedule
as arraftgea-eo far Is:
October 9. open.
October IS, Mercer,
October SO, Clemson University.
October S7, Mississippi A. and M.
November S, open.
November 10, University- of Florida.
November 11, open.
November 29, Georlra Tech.
Two of these open dates are caused
by the withdrawal of the universities
of Tennessee and Georgia from the
football arena.
Only Three ’Varsity Men.
After more than a weak of constant
practice the foothall outlook for Au
burn still seems to be very doubtful.
So far only three of last year's squad
have reported. They ere Captain Rob
inson, Ducote and Revlngton, the big
full-back from Chattanooga. It seems
that Coach Donahue will face his most
difficult task In all of his fourteen
years of Auburn football.
Soott, Beard and Pete Bonner, are
all due In, and all Auburn^ Is hoping
for the return of these tried warriors.
If these men return prospects will look
far brighter. They are all big, husky,
fighting men with ginger and Rep. They
will certainly be needed In the green
Auburn rush line.
Montgemerlans on Varsity.
A trial varsity has been selected, and
Is receiving some rather stiff practice
In handling punts, forwarding passing,
and foiling on the ball. This bunoh
lines up as follows for signal- prac
tice: Creel, of last year's scrub, Var
sity quarter; Wallace Hall of Monts
goraery, halfback; Nall of Birmingham,
halfback; Revlngton. Varsity fullback
at full. The Ands are GIbsott. •' scrub,
and Ducote, of last year's Varsity. The
tackles are Warren, scrub,; apd Caton,
scrub: the guards, Samford Of Mont
gomery and Wilson, scrub; and At cen
ter is Carey Robinson, tpe only four
year Varsity man on the squad.
There are eight of last year’s' scrubs
and three of last years Varsity run
ning signals. Several of the scrubs
look good but the new material seems
plentiful, and thert will ’be some hot
battles before positions are really
awarded.

Nashville and Memphis
Are Battling For
Foluth /Place
(Associate* Pmi.)
BIRMINGHAM, ALA., Sept. 15.—The
seventeenth eeaeon of the Southern
Association of baseball clubs comes to
a close today with Atlanta In the lead
as the pennant winner; New Orleans In
second place, followed by Birmingham.
There Is still some doubt as to what
club will occupy the fourth position.
Memphis and Nashville, battling for
this place, are so close together that
the winner will not be deflnltely known
until the Anal official averages are an
nounced. It seems practically certain
that Chattanooga will finish sixth; Lit
tle Rock will finish sevenths and Mo
bile will occupy the cellar.
Fourth Pennant Tor Atlaato.
This will be the fourth pennant for
the Atlanta club since the o4anlza
tton of the league and coincidentally
the fourth championship for teams un
der the leadership of Charles Frank,
according to information available here.
The race this year has been one of
the closest In the history of the league
ln-so-far as the two leaders were con
cerned. Atlanta and New Orleans have
repeatedly over-hauled each other for
the leadership honors and not until the
last few days of the .race was it ap
parent which club would be Victor.
The result was- made practically cer
tain. however, when the Crackers and
Pelicans met In a three-game series on
the New Orleans diamond about ten
days ago, the Georgians taking all
three contests. They followed this by
winning two out of three games In a
series at Atlanta.
Birmingham Threatened.
The Birmingham Barons threatened
several times to become a serious con
tender In the race. Repeated Injuries
to star players of their lineup proved
the undoing of the Molesworth team.
The Nashville Volunteers, pennant
winners tn 1916, got off to a poor start
this season, and It was not until the
schedule was well advanced, that Man
ager El lam's men showed anything like
their championship form of last year.
