PANTHER BACKS SHOWING LOTS OF
 PEP THESE DAYS
Morton, Miller, Rogers and Griffin Are Looking Like
 Varsity Men
By HORACE RENEGAR

The prospects for the Birmingham Southern backfield this year are great. The backfield appears speedier than ever and should be able to pen citrate any line they run up against, for they all seem to be line plungers.
 Frog Miller will probably fill in at fulback and Frogs" ability needs no mention. for he is there when it comes to hitting aline. He may also be called on to do large part of the bunting.
 Jim Rogers toe is showing up re- markably well, and he will also get a chance at the bunting job. Jim will either b eused at half or Miller at half and Rogers at full.
 Griffin mt Half
 Greek" Griffin, letter man of last years squad will probably be used at one of the halves, and Greek ap pears to have lots of speed as well as the sidestepping ability about him this fall.
 Mike Norton will direct the team from the quarterback role, and Mix e is capable of handling the field gen. erals duties, as he we'll demonstrated last year.
 Oats, O rat, is showing up good at quarter. and will probably make the squad. Anderson, from Calhoun County High. is also showing up fairly we'll in the backfield delega- ton.
 x Richardson Looks Good l Red" Richardson may be used at one of the halves also instead of on the line Red seems to be able to make an impression on the heaviest line this year, judging from his driv- ing power.
 Maybre is showing up well in the backfield and will make somebody hustle to keep him off one of the halfback positions.
 Golson Is looking good in the punt ing duties, and he seems to be a speedy little half. He may be called on to carry the pigskin from one of the halfb3ck poSitions

 brisk scrimmage was staged Tuesday afternoon as soon as old Sol had descended low enough not to be such serious obstacle. It is plain enough that Alabsmu's backfield is badly lacking in weight. but there are some backs that can hardly be ex- celled for speed. In the scrimmage Leliss Kirby and MaX Rosenfeld dis played some of the speediest carrying cf the ball that has been seen here lnlS seHSon' or uflNlnS lnfOuBn Vne line Charlie Bartlett's performance was somewhat of N reminder of Steve. Bartlett is also showing up well in the bunting department. Lang horn and Blackwood worked well at guard. Tom Newton is continuing to improve at end.
 Before the scrlmmage Scott had the men practlcing kicking. Bartlett and Rosenfeld are still showing up best at bunting. Clemens and Wesley seem to be the coming drop kickers. and Rosenfeld place kicker. Whit taker was worked at kicking off.
