The men are getting into form and many are showing some fine football knowledge. Captain Dobson is hav ing the first and second teams line up against each other every afternoon so as to get a line on- the men who are to fill the vacancies in this year's team. The backs for this year are showing up well; they are very fast, in fact, It is sure to be the fastest backfield that ha,s ever defended the red and black. The Walden Scrubs played a rather ragged game with the Pearl High School Saturday, and by luck won 5-0. There is much enthusiasm over the coming games among the rooters, and each day at practice many are out to see the work-outs. The Freshman Class Team has been out, and will give the 'Varsity some hard work, as it is composed of good, strong fellows who have had some experience in football. The Athletic Association is to give a concert at the Auditorium Friday night to defray some small expenses. Terry, Allison and Carr are the back field so far, and make fast running mates when they get. to going. The Meharry Quartette made its first public appearance at the First Bap list Church Monday evening. They will be on the program Friday night at the Athletic Association's concert, which will be in charge of J. Champ. Diekerson, and is destined to be a suc cess. The best talent of the college will appear, also the Meharry Band. The band, under the direction of C. B. Johnson, plays some very catchy music. The Facts of the Situation. "The season is growing old and as yet we have not had any representa tive game of Jootball among our local schools. The public has grown hungry and if the management of the differ ent teams don't hurry, the public will have lost their appetite." This is the expression of some who have not taken' the matter under due consideration. HILARY E. HOWSE. PHONE. MAIN 1096. HOWSE FURNITURE, STOVES AND CARPETS TERMS TO SUIT EVERYBODY.

The men were very evenly patched, and at the finish it was gen erally agreed that the honors were about even. In the first round the men went at e&ch other cautiously, but in a moment. both had warmed up and from that time on it was give and take all over the ring.

In Los Angeles Burns said he would sign articles of agreement calling for a fight with Jack Johnson before the club offering the biggest purse. He said that if Pro moter Coffroth would hang up the $25r 000 purse originally tendered for such a match he would accept it, the fight to occur within a reasonable length of time. The challenge hurled at him bv Gans on behalf of Jackson is what stirred Burns up to action, and he says in order to convince the public that ne is not afraid of Johnson he will take him on.. Tommy will, however insist upon an 18-foot ring, as he feels that in a 20 or 24-foot ring the Negro champion will resort to runaway tac tics that will not only rob the fight of interest, but will also cause him to get leg-weary and foot-sore chasing him. "A 10-foot ring would suit me better than anything else," said Burns "You couldn't make the ring too smal for me when I fight Johnson." While Tommy claims to have had prosperous theatrical tour, he undoubt edly finds the grass a trifle short i his new pasture, and is anxious to re turn to the field where he can gather in the mazuma with a little more regu Jarity and in larger wads.
