Last year South was rather an easy victor, but usually the contest is nip and tuck « So are Seideman and Thom- : Burke and Holcombe, ends, and Abel and Mills, guards. The entire backfield, made up of Rogers, quarter Wimberly and W field, halfbacks, and Swink. fulll: And these men together comprise sity and one ubstitute k from 1926, and in 1925 these men were successful. The best men from the freshman eleven are Derrick, Fulmer, Guirane, Young, Watson, Carson, Wolf, Keels, Vogul and Windus, all linemen, and Stackhous, Jim Cooper, Bill Cooper, Power Rogers. Jones and Griffin Three men from the scrubs of last Fall are out with the varsity in the persons of Reld, guard; Fair, quarter- back, and Hall, halfback. Both Director of Athletics Jimmy Driver and Head Coach Branch Bo- cock feel gratified over the prospects and confident of one of the strongest elevens South Carolina has had in vears. Both men deserve the success they attained last Fall and all they attain during the coming season, as bhoth are the fine type of men that are a credit to college sports. Clemson Well Fixed. Clemson has all its backs of 1925 out on the field, but lost three of its linemen. Martin and Eskew, half- backs; Hendee, quarterback, and Mc- Connell, fullback, are likely to make the first string quartet again. Har- vey, one of the two guards returning, is captain, and the other returning guard is Austin, while the eighth man back is Hair, center. W. H. Saunders again is handling the team as head coach and has as stants M. P. Gillam of Birm. ingham-Southern, L. K. Richards of Grinnell and Frank Padgett of Wash. ington and Lee. Saunders works under greater dif- ficulties in developing a team at Clemson than do most Southern coaches, but with elght letter men and a fair nucleus from the fresh- man outfit is looking forward to the opening of the schedule with nothing like the worry that he faced the 1925 season.

OREST HILLS, N. Y., September 14—Upon the ability of William T. Tilden’s injured knee to hoid up under the strain of daily com- . petition depend his chances of lifting the national tennis champion- i ship for the seventh successive year. A . _The title holder plainly showed the handicap of his injury yesterday in his opening match, which he won from John Van Ryn, Princeton versity star and former junior champion, only after dropping one set and being extended in another as he refused to take chances of fresh injury. Providing he sustains no further strain to the ligaments he injured when he'fell Saturday in his Davis Cup match with Rene Lacoste, Tilden is optimistic of weathering the early rounds without much difficulty. “Big Bill's” opponent today was one of his proteges, Neil Sullivan of Bethlehem, Pa., while Tsumio Tawara of Japan and Alfred H. Chapin, jr., of Springfleld, Mass., loom on ahead. If he reaches the semifinals Tilden is likely to find his recent conqueror, Lacoste, waliting for him. TWhile Tilden continued the -battle under a handicap, his leading rivals showed every indication of being at their best.
