Panthers Start
 Training for the
 Game With Merce,
BY HORACE HENEeAR

The Birmingham Southern squad will begin training today in prepar- ation for the Mercer eleven in Ma con Friday. The Partners, although defeating the Marion Cadets Satur- day in hot battle, 10 to 0, are in an extremely crippled state. Jim Rog- CTS and Frog Miller, two of the Pan ther stars, were unable to staH the game last Saturday because of se- rious injuries. and the Partners will be sorely handicapped when they tackle Mercer.
 Several of the other Panthsrs are suffering injuries, and tho ltns-up probably will be considerably weak ened when the team lines up for the opening kickoff, and will have to scrap hard and strong to stand up to the Mercer outfit,
 The Panthers will go through a two-hour drill this morning and nearly all of the players should be able to report to the opening prae- tice ready for work.
 The Panther backs on the injured list may lose sleep this week worry ing and pondering over the question of whether they will be able to make the trip to Macon Friday or not. The backs used against Ma rion Saturday were practically all sub backs, with the exception of Mike Norton and Greek Griffin. These two should be able to play the route Friday, although Greek suffered a iolting in the third quarter of the Marion game. Mike Norton played in great form Saturday against the Cadets and proved, along side Big Hoss' Candy, as tho shining lights of the game.
 The tackling dummy" Is expected to be very much in evidence on the Panthers' training field all during the early part of the week for the boys to dive at.

HOWARD TO PLAY IN CHATTANOOGA
 NEXT SATURDAY
- By MAXWELL ALLEN

The Howard Bulldogs resume train ] ing today for one of the toughest bat
 ties that they have had so far this
 season. which is with the University of Chattanooga at Chattanooga Sat
 urday In this fracas the Bulldogs will be piitted against. 8 team of their own caliber and the outcome will depend upon who gets the breaks and who fights the hardest Neither team will go in with victory practically assured
 The main thing that the Bulldogs seem to lack now Is endurance. Of course, every man on the team is ca
 pablo of going four hard quarters. but in tho game with the JacksonNl llle team Friday the team as whole showed q big decrease in their amount of punch in the third quarter with the amount that they had in the first quarter.
 In the meeting with Chattanooga tho Howardites will probably be called upon to show as much stuff at the end of the game as in the first part. If they can do, this, they will probably win, but, if they do not have a world of stamina. the laurels for the game arc liable to spend Sat
 urday night in Chattanooga.
 Howard had a. mighty good man out of the backfield Saturday in the person of Cooper who was out with bum shoulder. Cooper is one of the best men that has operated in<tne Howard backfleld in many years. By
 the time of the Chattanooga game he should be in good shape,
 | Roberts, the big guard who haiis from Oklahoma, has also been out of the game for q couple of weeks, but he should be back for this weeks
 tracas. and with his big carcass in the game the Bulldog line should be better than ever.
 Howard may beat the Chattanooga aggregation by respectable score, but they are certainly going to have to play football to do this little trick.

LEGION COMMITTEE
 FAVORS POLICY IF NATIONAL DEFENSE

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct. 30-Red tape in dealing with disabled service men has not been sufficiently done away wwith. despite the governments policy of decentralization of bureaus dealing with compensation of wound ed veterans, the national executive committee of the American Legion made it plain at q meeting today.
 The committee refused to adopt the report of the national hospitaliza- ton committee which some members thought might have been construed as an endorsement of the govern ments decentralization plan and sev- eral committeeman declared they were not satisfied that decentralization had been fully carried out.
 Activities of the bureaus were crit iciZed by some members. the prin- cipal complaint being that the red tape had been completely unwound. The executive committee returned the report to the. disqualification com mittee for revision.
 This report commended especially the efforts of the committee on med ical consultants, appointed by sec retary of the treasury.

Eight Killed And
 Eight Injured In
 Sunday Accidents
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

FORT COLLINS, Colo, Oct. 30.- Miss Fife Lighter of Fort Collins was almost instantly killed here this afternoon when she was crushed beneath an automobile when a Col orado and Southern train backed into the automobile which had stopped on the track to avoid being struck by another train coming in the opposite direction of the parallel tracks of the Union Pacific railway.
 Mrs. David c. Threlkeld, another occupant of the car. suffered a sprained ankle Thomas Threlkeld, her son, driver of the car, was un- injured. According to witnesses of the accident, the automobile stopped on the Colorado and Southern tracks which are parallel with the Union Pacific tracks with about 50 feet intervening. With the approach of a train on the Union Pacific tracks, Threlkeld stopped the car on the Colorado and Southern tracks, not seeing a train approaching from that side. Miss Lighter jumped from the car, shutting the door as she jumped to safety.
 Then apparently afraid that fn shutting the door of the ear she had cut off the escape of Mrs Threlkeld who had been riding in the Dack seat Wlln nefs MISS Lighter ran toward the car and attempted to open the door. As she reached the car, the train backed into it. throwing her to the ground beneath it. Her skull was crushed.
 Miss Lighter was a daughter of the late Judge H. c. Lighter of Fort Col lins.
 The car was pushed thirty feet down the track after the train struck it, Miss Lighters body being ground beneath the overturned automobile Mrs. ThrelBeld and Thomas Threlkelt probably owe their lives to the faci that the automobile was a closed car They were unable to jump from the
 CT before it was struck, but escaped with only slight bruises, although they
 were carried in the wrecked car fol i a distance of thirty feet. It was neees-
 sary to saw away parts of the car tt
 release them, so badly was the cal smashed.
 Miss Lighter was AS years old. Mrs
 Threlkeld was 70 years old, her son 5. | years old.
 An inquest will be held tomorrow | Coroner H. M. Balmer of Fort Collins | said tonight.

Hooper Declares
 Rail Labor Board
 Needs More Power

CHICAGO Oct SO-The transpor tation act needs legislative dentistry to provide against future railroad strikes, Ben W. Hooper. vice chair man of the railroad labor board to- day asserted in an address.
 Tn my judgment congress should not have perperated the irony of pulling the boards teeth and then telling it to go forth and bite those who interrupt traffic and strangle commerce." he said.
 The transportation act says that the carriers and employees shall con- fer and negotiate for the settlement of their disputes, that if they do not agree they shall take the mat ter up to the railroad labor board and thlt the board shall decide the dispute
 Just here the law ceases to be i'm perative It provides that if the board upon inquiry finds that its decision has been violated, i, may make pub lie it's decision in such a manner as il may determine
 "In other words the board may point the finger of scorh at the vio- lator and cal down upon it's head the denunciatiOn of the public"
