Of q poet. Even In those shabby fra-

beauty Of Gods world, not meant for
himself, and had looked to his little
boy for answer.
Often after that Lexington glanced

ask for the Torch Of Light and there

Tigers Easily Howard Opens Beat Marion Grid Season
 Team, s to o Here Today

Auburn, September 25.- Especially - Auburn Tigers, football heroes of the plains, this afternoon started off on their 1920 season by defeating the Marion Cadets, 35 to 0. The game, merely workout for both teams, had only one significance at tached to it, and that was that it pointed out the world of strength stored up in the Tiger machine.
 The Auburn backs scored at will, while the line had little trouble in turning back the attack of the light but hard hitting backs of Marion.
 Ollinger. Stubbs, Howard and Shirling starred for Auburn. The Tiger backs tore through the opposing line for good gains and played a poppy game on the defense. ,-.
 Warrens unfailing success at goal kicking was one of the pleasing features of the game.
 For Marion, Argo and Turner played the best game. Wilcox at tackle made several pretty stops of Tiger backs. The game, although rather one-sided, was interesting throughout.
