YeHow Jackets to Haue Lighter Grid
 Team This Season

Ensley High school opens Monday and since the football bug has bitten every one around the Magic City and adjoining provinces, despite the prev alence of the hottest football weather in years, the first and biggest query is What kind of grid team will the Yellow Jackets send forth to up- hold the Gold and Black standards this season?
 This is not only a big question in the minds of all loyal Ensley rooters, but 1t also draws a lot of interest among prep football fans of Birming- ham and Bessemer. as both localities have teams that meet the Yellow Jackets in feature games od the local season.
 Team is Lighter
 The first news from Ensley is that the team this year will be consider ably lighter than the one the Yellow Jackets had laat season, owing to the loss of several men who carried weight with them when they left. The team last year was light enough, and with loss of weight, 1t seems as though about the first thing the
 
 high speed in unusually large quan- titles.
 When the call for practice is an- swered Tuesday the Gold and Black squad will be minus the services of Whitehead, Rosenfield. Candy. Peck and Gaugh, all of whom played stel- lar roles for the Ensley aggrega ton last year. Those of last years team who are expected to answer the call again this season are Dog" Fayette Polly Scokel Zac Walker, the Tin klepaugh brothers and "scotchy" An derson.
 While this is not as many old men as some of the teams will have back al, of them are good players and form enough of nucleus to build a good team around. Dog Nay cite is the captain of the lsnsley team this year, and Ensley packers are. expecting him to put forth the same brilliant game this year that he put forth on last years line.
 The Tinkiepaug who aATk nown Throughout Ensley as just Fig Tnk' and Little link" are both going to perform in the backfield. while Zac 'd place again. Polly Scokel is elsu lated for an end sor a bsckfield s<rth.
 A'ith this start and a promise of host of~hew material Eusley should be able to put out creditable team that will make both Bessemer and Central, great strong rivals, sit ul and take notice

TECH ELEVEN
 SENT THROUGH
 A SCRIMMAGE

Atlanta, September 17.-(Special) Georgia Techs first scrimmage or the 1921 football season was staged Friday afternoon, with but one cas- ualty, Paul Lyman, one of the leadT ing candidates for bunting honors and a linesman of no mean ability, getting knocked out for lew mn utes. It was stated by Tech OH cials that Paurs injuries are not serious and he is expected to take his place again within the next few days.
 With the opening game with Wake Forest only one week off, Coach Bill Alexander is pushing his squad through the hardest imaginable workouts, and he declared today that he expected the outfit to round into splendid condition in short tune. Alexander Is looking after the pack field men; Assistant Coach Wood Is devoting all his time to the line, and Coach Kid Clay is caring for the freshmen and the reserve backfield candidates.
 Buck Flowers, last lear's captain, is on the field daily in the role of assistant coach for the backfield. and is paying special attention to the kicking candidates.
 Forward Passing System Alexander Is working out system of forward passes that will be Used entirely In surprise attack He seems to be we'll satisfied with the weight of his candidates, but is bit pessimistic over the kicking pros poets. There is no Bill Fincher for goals after touchdown and no Cap tain Flowers for bunting. But the coach isn't discouraged. He believes tliat somewhere in the army of play CTS there is one that can average around 50 yards in punts, and he's locking over every candidate. The way things are now lined up' Coach Alexander can have no kick to make regarding experienced play erans back for the teafh this season In the backfield, Judy Harlan is playing his last year with the Yel- low Jackets as fullback. Red Bar ron will hold down a half, while Ferst and McDonough are expected to look after quarterback duties Scarboro and Brewster, last years substitutes. are expected to come through for regular assignments this season. Amis At Center
 On the line. "Daddy'~ Amis will hold down center, with Dummy" Lebey at one guard. Davis and Johnson will probably fight it out for the other guard. At tackles, Al Staton has cinched his old berth. with Lyman leading at his end, while Mcintyre, J. FincherJ Rather and Wood are scrapping over the other.
 The great majority of the above named players have had previous experience with the Golden Torna- do." and Tech prospects could hardly be locking better f

Coach Brown Works Men Hard for First Week of Practice-NeW Players Do Well

Scarcely four or five days have passed since the Panthers of Bir- mingham- Southern responded to Coach Charlie, Browns clarion call for practice the middle of last week, but they are now in the midst of almost as hard work as if they had been out a couple of weeks or more
 The first game of the Partners IS vet two weeks away, as the sunshine sIopers do not journey to Starkville, Mice to meet the Mississippi Aypies until Saturday week. Still there is no time to lose, and Coach Charlie Brown will keep his charges hard at it until day or so oe1ore the opening game.
 Daily Practice
 Every evening at O'CLOCK ens Panthers trot out on Munger feio to go through the various exerclses SD familiar to those conditioning lor a hard football season. ,,
 finder the tutelage of Jenks GIL liam hackfield coach, the Panther hacks are fast developing into swift moving ground gathers. Mike NOT Ion. a veteran of a couple of seasons, is expected to run the team tHis vear while the other three back field positions are in almost as much doubt now as this time last week Coach Gillian must develop new backfield almost entirely. ana the task is not an easy one.
 On The Line
 On the line. Shorty" Propst cap tain-elect of the 1921 team, is expect ed to tear through the opposition like he-did last year, and the one before that. Candy and Hodges, tackles are the only other veteran linemen to return, and Coach Brown also has his hands full on 'the line.
 New Ones Doing Well
 There are many new men showing great promise for the short length of time the team has held sessions Those outstanding are Hall, man weighing about 1S0 who Is trying for the line; Crews of Goodwater, whc. played with Cain. Pa, High school last year; Big Boy" Call with 2Sc pounds of weight, but who has been laid out of practice for a few days on account of a bum knee. Poncel- CT is showing up good in practice also. Rat" Scott looks very gooo on line work as the first few days pass. Still it's too early to try tc say who will make the regulars or the first line up.

Eastern Grid Teams Haue
 Old Feuds to Fight Ouer
Marion Stars Are Not Returning, But
 Prospects Are Fine
JUDY HARLAN

Marion, September 17.-(Special) ) The Marion Tiger team began to grow last week. After several days of preliminary practice, teams were picked and scrmmage was held Wednesday. The Cadets are showing the effects of the excellent coach ing they are receiving from Coach smith, star center or the famous " M- l., team for the last four years, and his assistant, Coach Hovater, star backfield man at Alabama
 Many Stars Are Lost
 The team lost heavily through graudation The only letter men back this year are Turner, captain and halfback, and Albert, center How ever, these two men are a fine nu- Nleus for new team. Turner $ plunging and end running were the talk of Southern football circles last year, while Albert made several s. l. A. A. centers look mighty foolish.
 Not only are there few letter men, but most of last years scrubs grad uated also. Of those who returned, are Merwin and Samuels in the back field, and Madison, Baker. Edwards, Bredon and Sam Murphree in the line. These men are putting up a great brand of football and are in the fight for regular berths this year.
 New Men
 Of the new men, the following look especially promising, and ap- pear to be able to give the old men tough job for the regular positions: McCormick, Smith, Gouge, Ragsdale, McMulien, Banks, Creswell, Fritot and Ed Murphree. All of these men have had football experience on good high school teams. and appear to be able to do their parts in taking the placesM of the men lost from last years teams.
 Next Friday the Cadets play the Wetumpka Aggies, fast, scrappS team. NOn the next Saturday they tackle Jack sonville Normal, before they buch up against the Alabama Crimson line. From all appearance, and from the work, spirit and en- .thusiasm being shown on and orr '.. field. the Crimsons have a good game in store for them.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune


GREENWICH, Conn, May H.
Shubel X. Siver, treasurer of the First
Reformed Church of New Brunswick,
N. j., who has been missing from his
home since May .; was married here on
the following day to Adele Gouin. the
eighteen-year-old girl who disappeared
at the same time, it was learned to-
day.
The ceremony was performed by JUS
tice of the Peace Albert S. Mead. It
was evident that it was premeditated,
as Mr.. Siver came here on April 20 and
made application for his marriage Ii
cense under the Connecticut tive-day
law. He made arrangements with Mr..
Mead to have the ceremony performed
later.
On May he returned with Miss
Gouin and produced an affidavit signed
with the name of Mrs. Katherine Gouin
and giving her consent to her daugh-
ter's marriage. This was necessary. as
the girl is under age. The affidavit
was made out on the blank form on the
back OF the marriage certificate and
was sworn to before Niels Adolf Mel
son, notary public in New Jersey.
The marriage license is on file in the
Town Clerks Office. In it Mr., siver
swears that, he is single and that this
was his first marriage The case is
similar to that of Herbert Thornton
Andrews. 1t could not be ascertained
here tonight whether Siver would be
prosecuted on charge of perjury and
bigamy,
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., May H.
When informed tonight that her hus-
band had gone through the form of
marriage with Miss Gouin in Green
wich Mrs. Siver, at her home on Red
mond Street, expressed no surprise.
The general theory here has been that
in all probability he had married the
girl.
Certainly shall take no legal ac-
tion," said Mrs. Siver. divorce pro-
ceedings would be absolutely foreign
to my nature. However, hope the
authorities will go ahead and do their
DUTY if they can find the pair
County officials here said late to-
night that it was unlikely any charge
would be laid against Mr. Siver in the
mean time, except that of embezzle-
ment. A warrant for his arrest in con-
nection with the disappearance of six
$1,000 Liberty bonds belonging to the
First Reformed Church was issued last
Saturday. MIR. Siver and Miss Gouin
were last seen in an automobile on the
way to Connecticut. Circulars have
been scattered broadcast throughout
the country with pictures of the miss
ing pair. Detective John r. Ferguson,
who has the case in hand, instantly got
in touch with the county authorities at
Greenwich when word of the marriage
reached him last night. 1t was a mat
ter of surprise tc him that Mr.. Silver
was married under his own name, he
said.
When Mrs Katherine Gouin. mother
of the girl, was first approached on the
subject of her daughters elopement,
she refused to talk.

Mime. Curie Arrives, Confident
That Radium Is Cancer Cure
Frail Figure Shrinks From
Turnultuous Greeting at
Pier; Rests Before She
Receives Public Honors

Nine. Marie Curie. acclaimed IS the
worlds greatest woman scientist, who,
with her husband, discovered radum,
arrived on the Olympic yesterday, ac-
companied by her two daughters, Irene
and Eve. She came to America to re-
ce.ve gram of the precious element
which she found after long years of
research. This gram, the gift of Amer
icsn women, Mme. Curie said she would
use to carry on her study of radium
as cure for cancer.
In her first message to America,
given as the Olympic entered the lower
harbor, Nine. Curie was emphatic in
her assurance that radium could cure
sill types of cancer. The method and
time of treatment, she said, were the
only doubtful elements in the cure of
the disease to-day.
Following her arrival it was an
nounced at the headquarters of the
Marie Curie Radium Fund Committee
that the 100000, with which the gram
is to be purchased had been oversub-
scribed and that the amount in excess
will be presented TO Nine. Curie for
the equipment of 8 new laboratory to
be built on the outskirts of Paris.
The small vial containing the $780,
900 gift will be presented next week
by President Harding. During the six
weeks of her sojourn here the visitor
will receive degrees from many col
leges and will travel, accompanied by
her daughters, as far west as Colo
rado, to inspect the carnotite mines,
from which the ore OF radium is OBJ
Sained.
