 Like that of the day before. the game of yesterday was beauty until the seventh inning, when everybody ran wild Everybody hit and nobody was out. The Baron fielders had great time of it in the seventh. trying to put the Vols out. Ellam's men overcame a five run lead in this frame, putting one extra over for good measure. Three Baron pitchers, Gallagher. Morrison and Meeker, faced the Vols in this one in ming.
 The Barons obtained three run lead in the third inning, increasing it to four in the next frame. The Vols gained back one in the sixth but lost two in the Ba- rons' part of this frame. In the sixth the Vols slipped across six, but the Ba- rons came back strong and again went into the lead by scoring three runs, This crushed the spirit of the Vols and the Barons finally landed on top, SCOT ing three more runs in the eighth. Hefty clouting was responsible for most of the runs yesterday, although some

Panthers to HaUe
 Assistant Coach
 for Next Season

Southern will have an assistant
 football coach during the coming
 gridiron season. This announce
 ment was made by the athletic au-
 thorities of the local institution
 following the trustees' authoriza-
 ton n few days nGo.
 It has not been definitely decided who will assist Coach Charlie Brown to whip the Panther machine into form for the heavy schedule the local ag- gregation will face this fall, but the announcement of the assistant coacn is expected within short time
 It is expected that backfield man will probably be named by Gle athletic authoritis. as Coach Brown specializes on the line. Coach Brown was star guard for Vanderbilt University dur ing his playing days. and no small college in the south has better line coach than the Panther mentor
 The athletic authorities of the in stitution. as we'll as the most promi- nent alumni, have been agitating tha employment of an assistant coach for some time and the announcement that one has been authorized shows that Birmingham Southern is expecting great year in athletics during the coming season. One man can hardly handle the large number of gridiron- ists who report to the coaches each fall to make the team. and this con dition will be overcome next season at the Methodist institution.
 The Ranthers are facing the heav'- est schedule of their gridiron history next year and a large amount of ma terial will have to be trained to bat tie the large institutions which are included on the schedule.

IT HAPPENED
 Hairston led ofI with a single to right. Peters sacrificed him down to second. Gallagher grounded to Ballinger who held the ball, waiting to catch Hairston off second. Lucy was off, so Pei threw to Knaupp at second. In the chase that followed Ballinger dropped knaupp' s throw at the critical moment, and Hairs ton went safe at third, Gallagher slipping down to second.
 Croll grounded to Jonnard. who threw to first, pulling Brown off the bag. Cross was safe. Brown hurled to Ellam, to catch either Hairston or Gallagher, who were squabbling over third base. ElIam held the ball minute, finally throwing to Ballinger Pel failed to tag either runner and Hairston lit out for home. Lucy beat Ballinger's last throw a mile and all hands were safe. Steven son slapped hot two bagger down the third base line and both Gallagher and Croll scored. Barnhart flew out to Wick ham, who doubled Stevenson at second.
 Another Baron tally came across in the fourth. when Bernsen tripled down the groove and scored on Ellis single to center.
 The Vols got one back in the sixth, when Ellam walked. went to second on Ballinger's single to left and scored on Jonnard's drive through shortstop, after two preceding men had gone out
 The Barons scored two more in their part of the sixth, when Bernsen singled, was sent to second and third on infield outs and scored on Hairstons drive to left. Hairston stole second and scored when Peters singled to center.
 In the seventh the Vols ran wild, SCOT ing six runs off six hits and a walk. Gal lagher was driven from the box after five straight hits had been made off him. Morrison stayed in long enough for a. two-bagger to be made off him, when he was also yanked Lefty Meeker going in. Meeker retired the side without fur ther scoring.
 , Meeker was yanked in the eighth, after he had walked two men. Lefty got credit for winning the game. because the winning runs were made while he was pitching for the Barons.
 VOLS RUN WILD IN
 SEVENTH INNING
 In the seventh and eighth innings seven hits produced six runs for the barons. One of these hits was two-bagger ny Bernsen with the bases full, all men SCOT ing, and one was long homer to center by Stevenson with Glazner on baze.
 Stevenson, Bernsen and Hairston made three hits each for the Barons. while Ballinger was the only Vol who could collect trio of bingles. Burke and Barn. hart got two each.

Apfopos to the fact that the women
or thirty states in the Union are going
ITO vote for the next President, whether
the thirty-sixth state ratifies the Fed
eral suffrage amendment or not, Mrs.
Charles D. McIver of Greensboro has
this to say ''for the sake of the Demo-
cratic party
why cut down the popular vote in
North Carolina by denying North Car
DINA women the right to vote for Pres
idential electors along with the women
OF other states. True, a states electo-
raj college vote is no bigger no matter
now much the popular vote. is i'm
creased but it's just as true that there
IS psychological factor in the larger
popular vote that has its effect. 1t
doesn't do the Democratic party any
good to seem to be the party of few
people instead of many people. -" 49,
