PLAINSMEN HAVE FIRST WORKOUT OF YEAR SATURDAY
Only Warren and Sizemore Are Missing on.Line-shir-
 ling Is Ready

Auburn, September 10.-(Special) At the call of Coach Donahue, the Au- burn football Tigers of 1921 got to- getber for the first time on Drake field Saturday afternoon. The work out consisted of running, bunting. passing, and catching the ball, pre- naratory to making practice more strenuous from day to day until the regular driving practices and scrim- ma ees will be conducted each after noon.
 As a whole, the team appeared anxious to set started. Capt. N W. Caton, from River Falls, seemed to bs in tip-top condition. After summer spent in, the oil fields of Louisiana he is ready to begin strenuous train ing imm ediateiy.
 Veterans Back
 Ed Shirlfng, John Shirey, Slick" Motion, Baby Pearce, Clay Jackson, H. H. Hill, ''Gibby" Gibson. Charley Scott. Harvey Edge, Ross Ford, and Morton Ray were all on the field and eager to get into practice. Pel Gris- ham of Athens, whose work at tackle last year caused him to be considered for an all-southern berth, has not ar rived. and since it. is known that he has been in poor health this summer considerable anxiety is felt concern ing his condition when he does re- turn. Rodney Ollinger of Mobile. whoes work at end is well known, has not arrived, but is expected every day
 The Line
 .xsf1 |. ! line on the team before a few scrim- mages are staged, but several points already are evident For the line there seems to be a reasonable amount of material, but the back field com mbination is uncertain. Cap tain Caton at center, and in addition Edge, Ray, Ford, Motion, Pearce, Ol- finger and Grisham are ready for whatever position in the line Coach Donahue wants them.
 Along with these, it is hoped that some new material will be found in the large student body. The BackfieId For the backfield Shirling, Scott and Shirey are the only veterans on hand. but along with them are Jack son, Hill Gibson and others to be discovered and worked into form later. S
 Perhaps the most anxiety in Au- burn is over & man for quarter, and no one has any definite idea as to who will finally land the place. Among the student body Gibson and Shirey are frequently mentioned, but all are uncertain. Realizing the pe- culiar ability of Coach Donahue to handle even the most difficult foot ball situations. all are waiting with unusual interest for the developments of the next few days. .rr

changes in midseason, for there is absolutely no telling what a month or so of training will do with the sort of crew that is before him. Some of them will develop faster than oth CTS. but these may be outstripped by the slower men when the latter named ones finally get there."
 It is to be expected that a tenn porary first squad will be pretty well defined before the small games, but the mistake should not be made of thinking that this is Coach Scotts final selection, It may be, and it may not be.
 BaekfieId Men Scarce
 Of the eighty some odd men out for practice. 1t is notable that there is a preponderance of line material as compared with backfield timber. Ala bama has had possibly. the best back field in the south for three years, and this year she loses 1t entirely Having gotten accustomed to such premier grid artists in the backfield as Walter Hovater, Talty OConnor Mully Lenofr. and Riggs Stephenson. Alabama will be exceedingly difficult to please in the matter of back field material. But, even laying this consideration aside, 1t is remarkable how little backfield material of any
 
 rial is good and it is likely that the 1921 line will be the equal if not the superior of that of last season.
 1921 Schedule Following is the 1921 schedule for Ala bama:
 September 24, Howard college, Den ny field.
 October l. Spring Hill college, Den ny field.
 October 8, Marion Institute. Denny field. nah October 15, Brison college, Denny field. (pending). | October 22, Sewanee. Birmingham. October 2s, Louisiana, New. Orleans. November 5, Vanderbilt Birming- ham.
 November II, Florida, Denny field. November 1s, Georgia, Atlanta. November "A, Mississippi A. & NJ. Birmingham.

 At Simpson
 Simpson High is banking on very strong representative to face the hard schedule which has. been pre- pared.

University, September 1O.-(spe- cial.)-Not in long time mas Ala bsma been in such condition with respect tc football as she is today.
 There are really only two first string nNen who saw service through the entire season last year back again this year. These Are Capt. Al Glenn ems, left end. and Ben Hunt, right guard.
 Bill Montgomery. Tom Newton and Ira Nichols are the best of the second string material that returns.
 A Green Squad
 Thus it will be seen that the 1921 Alabama squad will. be a green one in the literal sense of the word. While there are a few more men expected back from last year, notably Baty and Cooper, 1t is likewise doubtful if one of the most promising of last years veterans named above will be eligible to play this year. This is Ira Nichols. He left college asst year for Il oper- ation, and it is not yet known whether he comes under the ineligible classifi- cation or not. He showed up last year as one of the most formidable contenders for a berth on the 1921 varsity squad, as fast backfielder, exceedingly alert and of stocky build.
 over so Candidates
 In all there are over 80 men out for the team. Of course a very large number of these will be eliminated before very long. However, in spite of the fact that there are some good physiques, it Is remarkable that there Is so little outstanding material. It is absolutely impossible to pick out future varsity men, and so uncertain Is the whole business that 1t Is not practicable to attempt to mention any names at all as being promising tim Der.
 Coach Scott will not attempt to pick his regular varsity squad until after the Sewanee game. or certainly not until just prior to it. It would not be surprising, either, if he made

LOCAL COLLEGES MAKING
 READY FOR BIG GRID YEAR
Panthers to Stage First Practice on Wednes- day
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

With the first practice session only a few days away, football prospects at Birmingham Southern college are very unsettled at present. As 1t now looks, Coach Charlie Brown will have his hands full, for he must develop several new linemen and at east two new backfied men before a. winning team can be put out.
 Wednesday afternoon the Partners hold their first practice. By that time it is expected that every gridder or prospective gridder will be on the hill and by the end of the week training for the coming season will be going ahead under uA~steam.
 The Partners play their first game on october 1, when they visit Stark vile, Miss. for whetck at the Mis- sissippi Agricultural and Mechanical AgEies. It can be seen that some thing over two weeks remains before the initial contest. Lots of work is ahead of the Panther mentor during that time, and there will be little time wasted on sunshine Slopes during the last few days of September.
 Panther Coaches Coach Charlie Brown will, of course, again be in charge as head coach. Jenks Gillem, former Panther star, will be assistant coach. Brown ] will supervise the linemen, while Gill em will have charge of the backfied men and the punters.
 Four good inemen must be devel- oped. as N now looks. Only Candy and Hodges. tackles, and Propst, cen ter. are returning from last years team. That leaves two guards and two ends to be secured before the line 1 is rounded into shape The Partners l will sadly feel the loss of such men as Evans, Coop Green. Slim Reese Maynard Baker, Eva Speer, Bob Rowe and Bill Saffarans. None of these veterans of last year will return. 1 Outlook Not Had | With the three veterans returnins l around whom es nucleus Coach Brown must build up his line. tbe out l look is not as bad as it might be Propst, tall, rangy chap, is a terror at center. and is a power on both of l fense and defense. Candy is good hard river, an possesses lots of weight | and muscle to put power in hls l plunge. Hodges, while of the heavy beefy type of player is fairly fast on his feet for such big fellow, and opposing backs never find it anything but hard to gain yard or two ovei l him.
 With two end and two guard posi-. tions untitled, Coach Brown will have his hands full during the next two weeks.
 Backfield Prospects
 The entire varsity backfield of last | year is lost to the Partners this sea son. Burney and Baty. quarter backs; Lewis and Brinskelle. half backs. and Miller full, have all lef, school and Jenks Gillem finds him. self in about the same hole in the backfield as Charlie Brown is on ths line.

Prep Football Prospects
 Seem Brighter Than Euer
Every Local High School Expected to Turn Out Strong Eleven This Season-Old Coaches Are
 Returning This Year

Extremely luminous are the pros poets for surpassing the wonderful season of 1920 in local prep football, and when that is said a whole mouthful has been prognosticated, for last year was by far the most suc- cessful from every standpoint that of interest, class of play and quality of sportsmanship, in the grid sports Magic City history.
 The return of Coaches Hovater and Meyers to Ensley and Central, re- spectively, places those schools again in the fore of the candidates for the state title, while Red Harris will re- sume duties at Bessemer. and the Purple Tiger, despite some awful gaps, is counted as formidable as ever. These three men are known quantities, and however frail may seem the outloog at the beginning of . season. they are all sure to get every ounce of ability and energy out of their men and to have outfits up in the running.

Bulldogs Are Hard at
 Work Getting Ready
 for Alabama
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

With the first game of the season only two weeks off, football practice at Howard college has been rushed up in whirlwind fashion during the past week A squad of about 30 men reported to Coach Marshall last Wednesday. and hard practice has been the order of the day ever since.
 Wednesday the men passed the ball around, went through various lim- bering up exercises, such as diving on the ball, hopping and sprlnging forward, and, in fact. everything along these lines that could be crowded into one afternoon.
 Thursday and Friday simple sig nal drills were held, being followed by short but lively scrimmage each afternoon. It might sem a bit early for scrimmaging, but Howard col ilege is going into football with grim determination this season, and no time is being wasted in whipping the squad into shape.
 Scrinimages Are Held
 Coach Marshall chose up two teams and sent them at eacht other The scrubs were "easy meat" for the first stringers the first das, but Friday they braced and gave their classier teammates a tussle.
 Howard is going into the game with Alabama on September 24 with the dterr4ination of making the Thin I Red Line sit up and take notice. The way the squad is rounding into shape | is filling Howard studeNts who gather to watch practice each afternoon with new born hope, for the team pros poets look better than- they have ir ] several seasons.
 The lack of veteran material is about offset by the plentiful supply of freshman timber. Some real stars are said to be reporting from the freshman class, and Coach Marshall is
 giving lots of attention to the new men in weeding these reputed stars from the others.
 Afford To Return
