Southern Grid
 Season Opens With Splendor
University of Alabama Runs
 Up the Highest Score

Atlanta, September 26-An early season that promised much for the hard games to come, was displayed by all of the more important southern football teams that opened their seasons Saturday, or earlier in the week.
 Most of the games in which the larger institutions were represented were in the but all of them played true to form, piling up healthy score against their weaker opponents, and in no case being scored upon.
 While half dozen or more of the teams that ranked high in 1919 got away on the gridiron yesterday or a day or two earlier, there are large number who have not yet opened their 1920 season. Among them are some of the most important southern elevens. Those teams which are yet to play their first game of the year include Vanderbilt, Washington and Lee, Mississippi A. and M, Sewanee, Uni versity of Georgia and a number of others, including Centre College of Ken lucky and Georgetown University of Washington which. being situated along the Mason and Dixon's line, plays both northern and southern eleves regularly.
 An unusually warm, early fall has not been any aid to the padded warriors oi the gridiron, but almost all the big elevens have majority or more of theii regulars of last year back, and there were indications that the old machines were working again.
 Scoring honors for the opening games among the leaders went to the University of Alabama, which defeated the Southern Military Academy, 59 to o. Virginia Mill tary Institute. with a 54 to victory over Roanoke. was close second. The Uni versity of Tennessee came third with 4; to victory oyer Emory and Henry, and Georgia Tech was fourth as a result of its 4 to defeat of Wake Forest.
 On the actual number of points made in an opening game, however, Oglethorpe University of Atlanta took high honors with it's score of S3 to 0 against the North Georgia Agricultural College. The Ogle- thorpe team is newcomer in football the institution only having been re-estab- lished in 1916

observers whether Allen could win if
Wood failed.
There is a natural feeling that the
nominating speech will throw Allen
to the very center of the Wood or

men do not figure that votes which
are denied to Wood could be readily
delivered to the man who placed Wood
in nomination.
Aliens chances for second place
eliminated. Should the nomination go
to Lowden, Knox. Butler. Coolidge,
Harding. Sproul or any of the other
east of the Mississippi possibilities,
Allen might be made the vice presi-
dentiaT nominee. That is particularly
should be one of the old crowd Sc

eliminate Allen almost as effectively
as the nomination of Wood. The

Not a Real Ozark Horse"
Had Allen SHE'D at the invitation to
nominate Wood his chances for first
place might have developed. That

the convention eliminated the present
favorites and sought a dark horse
from the progressive stables But
such a candidate-at least under or

removed from too intimate association
with the avowed candidates.

as a refusal to be listed as a vice pres

without bigotry has been the faithful
champion of prohibition in his own
state and throughout the nation, one
who can be relied on faithfully to
