Auburn Improving

Considerable improvement was not ed in the Auburn team Big Ed" Shirling, after being under the leather since early in the season with malaria, seems to have found himself, and has again put out with his battering drive that has for two seasons found a berth on the all- southern mythical eleven for him. Jim Pearce, the big tackle, Is rounding into condition steadily, and shows considerable improvement over last season, when he was in need of experience. Noisy" Grisham was allowed to go in for one quarter against the Clemsonites for his first workout in a game this season, and from the way he handled his oppo- nents it Is judged he may be regu- lar man soon.
 A real scrap is expected Thursday afternoon when the Auburn rats give battle to the University of Georgia Freshmen at the fairgrounds at Opelika. The Auburn "fresRtes" havo q fighting outfit under the coaching of John Herman Trapp and Herh Homer, Auburn stars of seasons past. Not much is known of the Geor- gia outfit, but it is expected that they will bring a team to Opelika outweighing the Auburnites 10 to 15 pounds to the man.

FEATHERS INVADEI MACON TODAY FOR THE GAME FRIDAY
Team Leaves Minus Mike" Martin, Star Quarterback,
 for the Partners
By HORACE aENEGAR

The Birming gham- Southern college Panthers will leave for Macon, Ga, this afternoon minus their star quar- terback and captain, Mike" Norton. Mike" vii be out of the game from injuries received in scrimmage Tues cay afternoon.
 The announcement that Captain Mike" would be out threw gloom over the Panther camp Wednesday afternoon. Norton will be sorely missed. as he was truly the mainstay of the team. His work as field gen. eral can always be counted on. Nor tons great playing featured the Ma rion game last Saturday.
 The Panther outfit will leave for Macon strongly bent on overcoming Mercer. Nineteen men will accom- pany Coach Charlie Brown on the Macon invasion" Red" Yielding. student manager, will go with the team.
 A hard fight is expected by the Partners judging from the low score Mercer held the University of Flor ida. Florida only won after a hard battle, to 0. However. the Partners are a fighting bunch and are confi- dent of a close battle.
 Coaches Jenks and Charlie have worked the team hard this week, smoothing over the rough spots that showed up so glaringly last Satur- day in the Marion game, and much harder set of tacklers Is expected to face Mercer university than the one which lined up before Marion. The team will open up in good condition with the exception of quarterback. Frog" Miller and Jim Rogers will be able to start at their regular place in the back field.
 The men making the trip to Mer- cer are: Caldwell, Coop Greene. Big In" Hodges. Yielding, Hall, Floss" Candy. Ellis, Greek" Griffin, Jim Rogers. Frog" Miller, Red" Rich ardson, Cox, Baker, Oates. Mitt Greene and Mabry.

Instance of his walloping ability, 1t might be said that he Is the only man who ever really knocked Fred die Boorde out When Freddie was beginning Palmer knocked him so cold that he was unconscious for at least half hour, and did not get over the shock of the punch for a couple of days.
 Meighnn Ready Himself
 Mir. Palmer has good punch and likes to mix 1t we'll enough, but he can hardly like to mix 1t ono bit better than does Meighan. Of course so far Meighan has not exhibited punch that will compare with that of the Rabbits, yet he hasn't been forced to show all he's got yet.
 It was previously announced that there would be two fights on the main bill Monday, but when officials announced this they had John Me- Ginty in mind for one of the fight CTS However, in his fight with Ken nedy he did not show his accustomed stuff. so Tommy Tompkins says he has decided to let him learn little more before putting him on the main card.

PLANS COMPLETE FOR BOXING BILL
 HERE OCTOBER 28
Officials In Charge Invite Ladies to Attend Big
 Entertainment

Plans for the mammoth boxing carnival to be held under the auspices of the American Legion at Redwood on Friday afternoon, october 2S, is rapidly taking form in its final stages. Ten of the best mitt weilders in the south are already signed up and are now in active training for their bouts.
 Word has been received from TSs- caloosa, where Joe White Is in train- ing for his bout with Marty Burke, that he is working like a beaver and Is leaving nothing undone so that he will be in the best possible shape when he enters the ring with Burke. White has been trailing Burke for the last 10 months trying to get him in thering with him and now that he has his chance he is going in with the determination to back up his statement that he can stop Burke be- fore 10 rounds.
 If White can accomplish this feat h, will be doing a great deal more than many ring veterans have been able to do.
 The committee in charge of the carnival wishes it to be known that ladies are especially invited to come out and attend these bouts. Boxing. like football, wrestling, baseball, basketball and every other clean sport, can be enjoyed by ladies as well as men, and this is the chance the ladies have long been wishing for.

don't seem to have championship team in prospect, are certainty stronger than they were, with Bill Coughland. a Birmingham boy. back to take up the burden as ball car Tier, and other veterans returning to the squad.
 Alabama, undeniably weakened by the loss of her entire varsity back field last year, including such stars as Stevenson and Lenoir. also has one or two new men on the line. The line. however, shows every indica- ton of being as strong If not strong CT than that of last season. Tho backfield. having yet 10 meet it's first genuine opposition, is an unknown quantity.
 Seem Evenly Matched
 The game should be a good one. In fact, 1t is as near an even bet between the two as has been the case in several years. At present there doesn't seem to be seven points difference in the strength of the two teams.
 The only basis for comparison be- tween Sewanee and Alabama thls year is their respective showings against Bryson College. Sewanee de- feated Brysou 102 to 0, while Ala bama piled up 95 points on the Bry- sonites. The apparent weakness of Brysou and the larEeness of the two scores makes the seven points diff ference negligible.
 Either team might Break away by getting the jump on the other. and win the game by two or tiree touch downs. Such things are more tho rule than the exception in football. However. the way 1t looks now, the team which is leading at the end of the final quarter will be doing extremely well to do so by moro than a single field goal or touchdown.

which was to have been heard be.
fore Judge Banks this morning.
He was associated with Attorney
Enos Vincent. judge Robinson
had had the case in hand. but was
unable to come over because OF q
trip to the coast, and Olson came
in his stead. He lunched with Vih-
cent yesterday ard told him he
thought he would work on the
case in the Grand Hotel, where
he was stopping Later he must
have decided to co to Lahaina.
DR.. j. n. Raymond and Harvey
Raymond came down from Ulupa-
lakua yesterday and Or. Raymond
offered Olson the use Of his Gun
ningham car, not thinking he
would 90 on long trip. Later
Olson was passed going into La
haina. He spent about half an
hour with DR.. Dodge at the la
haina Hotel, whom he wanted to
return with him for the dinner
dance that was to have been held
at the Grand Hotel last night. The

when the car left the road, so it
may never be known what occa-
stoned the disaster.
