28 SPORTS. Most of DIXIE OUTCLASSES OTHER SECTIONS IN EARLY GAMES Thirteen of Southern Conference Téams to Figure| in Important Clashes—Georgetown-Pitt Fray Headlines Card in Northern Sector. BY H. C. BYRD. HE South has learned much in foot ball from the North, but in the arrangement of schedules the Dixie institutions are breaking away entirely from Northern policies, in that they are arranging difficult contests carly in the season. Thirteen of the Southern Conference members are to engage in real battles this week end, the kind of struggles that few Northern teams ever have so early in the year. Not only do the conference members meet big teams of other sections, but also stage bat- tles among themselves that will directly affect championship honors. Take, for instance, the game at Nashville between Alabama and Van- derbilt. Tast season Alabama was not only the strongest team in the South, but one of the strongest in the country. Vanderbilt also is among the leaders. Imagine Cornell playing Dartmouth or Harvard meeting Princeton on the first Saturday in October. Georgia Tech and Virginia Military Instftute hook up at Atlanta in inother championship affair. Last vear the Atlanta eleven won from he Cadets by 3 to 0.

CAPTAIN. MILE BARN one of the stars of the Alabama-\Washington University great intersectional Tournament of Roses battle last Fall, has the honor of being captain of the University of Alabama’s team for this season. Barnes, a dashing halfback, is a home product, having received his early training at the Clark County High School, located in his home town, Grove Hill, Alabama. c " As a defense man Barnes has few equals in the Southern Conference. His allaround work is also very commendable, as he, a_great line plunger. also does the bulk of the punting for the team. Barnes is a wonderful base ball player, being considered one of the-best outfielders in collegiate circles. He lfl_lh!) outstanding fielder in the Southern Conference, and is slated for a big-league tryout as soon as b finishes his scholastic career. Coach. One of the most successful coaches in the Southern Conferenge is Wallace Wade, coach of the Alabama grid- ders for the past three years. In the length of time he has been connected with the foot ball team at that school he has placed his teams in the foremost ranks of the South, his team last Fall being voted by a group of Southern ' critics as the best in the conference. ; ‘Wade is a former All-American guard, having held down that post for the strong Brown University eleven of a few years ago. He was associated with the foot { ball teams of Vanderbilt University prior to his debut j& at the University of Alabama. Among the men that X he has develoned are names of Pooley, Hubert, Propst, i who, by the way, is a league base ball man, Buck-WALLACE WADE ler_and Jon Coach Coach Wade has been turning out the best base ball Alab, teams in the Southern Conference and has developed Ll many men now on big league pay rolls.

WOMEN IN SPORT BY CORINNE FRAZIER RAWINGS have been made for the Central High School singles net tourney and plans made to begin play in the first round tomorrow afternoon en the Sixteenth street Reservoir courts. Fifty-eight racketers are entered in the event, including last vear's double champions, Edith McCuiloch and Mary Virginia Hardesty, s well as the runner-up in the recent District junior net championship, Kathlcen Johnson. Miss Johnson and Miss Hardesty are scheduled to meet tomorrow in what promises to be the closest and most interesting {of the initial encounters. It is unfortunate that the luck (or ill luck) of the draw should bring these two together in the first round, as efther one of them is capable of mak- ing a strong bid for final honors.
