75 CANDIDATES FOR FOOTBALL AT AUBURN
Fly B. l.. SHI

Auburn, September 20.-(Special.) )-About 70 candidates for the football team have been reporting. each day to Coach Dom ahue and his assistants, and have been put through light work; catching, punts, forward passes, blocking, dummy tack ling, etc.

BOYS ARE TRYING
 FOR PLACES ON CRIMSON SQUAD

latter part of the week. Nearly 40 candi- dates are out for the new eleven and among them are several worthy of mo- tice.
 But for the one-year rule, the varsity would be augmented by another Birming- ham high school star Morris Lathem, who proved a star at halfback for Gen. tral high during the past several years. He reached the university a few days ago, but will be corraled with the fresh men. He is heavy and fast and would have proved valuable understudy for the varsity.
 The varsity has begun signal practice with tentative lineup and much interest is being centered on the line. The team appears heavier than last fall and is probably faster. The addition of Roman and Barnett increases the effectiveness of the line, if they round into trim. The duo have been out of the game for a couple of seasons and must face heavy work to get back into their old time shape.
 Because of the lack of a veteran quar- ter, Graves may change his plan of bat tie. Hitherto the quarterback has re- ceived the ball from the center most of the time and then relayed it to the backs but this fall the direct pass may be adopted. The plan has been tried with much success by various colleges and so Coach Graves may resort to this method to overcome the handicap caused by the absence of any of last years quarters.

University, September 20.-(Special) ) More than ordinary interest should be taken in the Crimson eleven of Alabama this fall by football adherents of the Birmingham district. This should be prompted through the efforts being made by boys from Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer to gain regular stations on the machine.
 The combination hailing from the Bir- mingham district is a formidable crew, and many of the aspirants will likely be rewarded with success.
 Heading the list are Captain Hubby" Long and Bill Harsh, the former from Bessemer and the other from Birming- ham. Long is the fullback certainty, un- less Coach Graves switches him to halfback position. He is winding up his fourth year of activity on the southern Harsh is commencing on his third year, and it is believed that he will stand out with more prominence than in the past
 Another lettered man from Birming- ham is Lowndes Morton, an old high school star Morton won an end berth his first year out last fall and is back seeking the same position again.

 The fact that the return of Thigpen, an all-southern guard last year, and "3ul'' earley is still in, doubt. adds greatly to the uncertainty of Auburn's ability to clean up' with her opponents this year.
 Promising linesmen from the 1919 scrubs and class teams are: C. C. Ro5in- son. Sample, Thigpen, Howe. Fri lxe, Echols, and Major. very strong 'out law team of ineigibes has been formed and is in charge of Assistant Coach Pen ton. It consists of the the two Boomers, brothers of w. S Bonner, captain of a former Auburn team; Ralph Davis, brother of d captain of a former Georgia team; Burns, brother of F. c. Burns, .or- mer Auburn center; Scott of Tennessee; Guess of Mississippi and Martin. These are all husky fellows, but will not be able to play this year on account Of the one year rule.
 If Thigpen and Kearey decide to re- turn, they will give a decided boost to Auburn's prospects.

BIRMINGHAM BOYS
 ARE TRYING TO LAND ON CRIMSON SQUAD

Two star teams. one composed of the best fielders and the other of the best bat ters, according to the final records, would furnish lively series of games.
 Glancing down the array of the hitting team 1t would appear that they would have the advantage, but the fielders are so little their interiors in hitting and are so much better in fielding and have the better pitching staff that the chances would rest with the fielding team to win the series.
 The batting order of the fielding team would be more ideal than that of the hit ting club, giving them another advantage. Charley Schmidt, the big backstop of the Mobile Gulls. is the only player who ap- pears in both line-ups.

as well as in numbers and wealth, and
on this account We may look for a
small increase in expenditures from
year to year. In the towns and vii
lagos we are calling for and getting
larger schools, and we hope better
ones. We want out streets improved
in grading, macadam, or paving. We
want better water works, sewers and
sanitary conditions. In the rural dis
tricts better schools are required and
little plot of ground for agriculture,
and better grades on the roads and bet
ter roads. We hope that the time will
never come when we. will not want
these things. The wish shows pro
gress; the lack of it stagnation What
we do want is to know about our tax
to know that they are handled
wisely and we'll, and that we receive

lar spent.

for school purposes we are not in {

there has undoubtedly been raised an
