'GR|D|RON PRACTICE
BEGINS At ALABAMA;
SCORE ANSWER CALL
Six Veterans on Hand With
Return of Others Assured.
Optimism Prevails

University, September 5.-(Special)
The preliminary training camp of
Coach Thomas Kelly for the University
day with a score or more players to
answer when the first whistle sounded
across the field. BY the middle of the
week, possibly 35 men will be here. OF
those returned six have already earned
their AS" and dozen more have been
on the squad before or have starred in
class games.
Several new men with good records
on their prep school teams are also here
to get the experience of the preseason
training camp. The six-letter men al
ready here are Captain Morton, Maynor
Taylor, Rogers, johnson and Whittel-
sey. Grif Harsh, Hovater, Hagan, Stew
enson and Saul are expected to return
so it looks that Kelly will not suffer
for lack of experienced material upon
which to build his team. These men
take practically every position, the
only vacancy being at left tackle
where Bully VandeGraff played last
year. The great VandeGraff and his
sturdy running mate, Ike" Rogers
needed no understudies. so varsity
tackles are yet to be made.
Coach Kelly's training system Is a
hard one, as he believes in getting
ready early, but for several days yet
the only training will be passing, fall
ing on the ball, punting and general
exercise with view to limbering UT
the muscles after the summers inactiv-
ltY. Some OF the men are in perfect
condition physically as result OF
working on farms al summer, but 9TH
ers show the effects of the summers
idleness.
An air of optimism prevails around
the university. 1t is recalled what
Coach Kelly was doing with the team
last year when he was stricken down
with typhoid fever, and compelled to
hand the reins over to another. With no
untoward circumstances to interfere
again, 1T is felt that the Crimson war
riors can win again over Sewanee, and
| IL not win over Geogia Tech and Uni
versity of Georgia, the three strongest
or at least hold them to tie or close
score. Coach Kelly himself doesn't say
all this, however. In fact he says little
about his prospects or hopes for this
year. He simply says that he is going
to give his team all he knows about
football, and whether they win or not
depends upon them. But those who sa W
the finished, fighting machine he turned
out last year before his sickness have
large hopes for this year.
This year, with larger knowledge OF
his men and conditions here, he stands
still better chance of bringing back
some of the football renown that used
to be Alabama's in the days of DOC
Pollard, whom the Crimson and White
lost only one game In four years.
