Andalusia Expecting Snappy Grid Team
 This Season
nx oscAR nuGGER, Jr.

AnQaluSla, SeptenHper Nop0 cial. )-"What Andalusia's squad Of pigskin warriors will lack in experi- ence when they do battle for the first time this season, they will more than mako up in spirit" was the key note of Coach Mayo's remarks In an interview regarding the coming foot ball season this morning.
 Yesterday afternoon was the first real workout to be held on the local gridiron, and 30 husky lads were out, full of the old spirit. and ready to work Most of the time was taken up with bucllng, line tackling and blocking, and Coach Mayo seemed altogether pleased over the results after the first afternoons work.
 No well-rounded schedule was ar ranged last year, as basis for mak- Ing the schedule easy to work out this season, 1t was pointed out. AL though no dates have been closed as yet. 1t is expected that the opening game will be played at Troy on Oc tober with the Troy Normal school of that city.
 Games are being tentatively ar ranged and dates are to be fixed In the next two weeks with such aggre- gations as Dothan, F1orals, De Flu niak Springs, Greenville, Troy Nor mal, Bay Minette, and Enterprise.
 We expect to have about nine grid engagements this season, and am firm in the belief that Andalusia will claim at least five Of tho nine," asserted Coach Mayo.
 Coach Mayo halls from the voiun- teer state, more especially the oity of Jackson, a town of about s0.090 people. and he stated that he liked the spirit of Andalusia and her en- farnrinipO haf his native city of several times this size.
 As regards the personnel of the team now in the making. eight men are out grappling for the end posi- tions. Kent Taylor is the last years product for this position to report this year.
 For the line positions, tho Turner brothers, Wilson, Carroll and Gantt are showing up well, as are several or the new men reporting each after noon.
 Other than Capt. Hal Jernigan, the fast quarterback who generated the team last season. such men as Mo- Artin and Benson, of last years ag- gregation, are out and delivering right along. Coach Mayo stated that too little work had been done with the backs to estimate the ability of thu new material.
 0Neal and Adams arc both show ing up well at center.
 Coach Mayo was pleased to an- nounce that he had the promise of some assistance in coaching in the person of Rev. Bob Woodson and Dr. R. l. Kearley. and asks that any football veterans of former years make themselves known. as he IS anxious to give the men the very best and greatest amount of per- sonal attention possible during the short few weeks ahead before the opening game.

Yellow Jackets Will Probably Be Light
 This Season
nv ALnERr sTAToN

Georgia Tech, Atlanta, September 2.-(Special.) )-Georgia Tech began the 1922 season with a scrimmage on Grant field all Saturday afternoon. Four freshmen teams battered and hammered at one another during the early part of the afternoon, while later in the day. the second varsity scrimmaged last years freshmen team.
 The first varsity, with the ex- ception of A. Staton, was not allowed to scrimmage, although they have been working out for two weeks Coach Alex is always careful with his men, and he believes that not enough work is better than too much, hence the first varsity had to spend the afternoon running down punts. for ward passing and In signal drill.
 From last years team, LeBey, guard; Amis, center; Mckee, left tackle Ferst, halfback, and Harlan, fullback, will be missing. Of these men LeBey and Harlan were mem bers of the composite All-Southern team of last year. During signal practice, Frye, 160 pounds, has been holding down the center position: Mcconnell, ITO, and Mcintyre, 1S4. are alternating at guard, while Ly man and Johnson, both 190 poundess, are contesting for the vacant tackle position. Hunt, at fullback, and Brewster, a fine punter, at halfbacK. seem assured of starting the season. These men only weigh 155 pounds apiece, however, and will need con siderable relief.
 Of the freshmen, John Marshall, at end; Wycoff, at tackle, and Bob Reeves at halfback, show promise of developing into good men. Reeves is a brother of Henry Reeves. now on the varsity squad. In addition there are Carter Barron. brother of Capt. Red Barron; Joe Bell, brother of Cy Bell; Little Six Carpenter. brother of Big Six, captain of the 1917 team, and Al and John Staton, making quite string of brothers playing at Tech.
 September 30, Tech opens the varsity season against Oglethorpe fin Atlanta. Following this game David son and Alabama come to Grant field. Then the team Journeys to Annapolis to take on the Navy. returning to meet Notre Dame, Clemson, George town, North Carolina and Auburn in row.
 The freshman team, coached by Amis, last years center, and Bill Fincher, All-American end of 1920, has over 50 candidates with the opening of the school yet week off Their schedule is as follows: October 21, wofford college in Atlanta; Oc- tober 23, Clemson Freshmen, in Att lanta; November 4, University of Florida Freshmen in Jacksonville.

Not only will it be Towards open ing game. but 1t will be the first football clash of the season for Bir- mingham. In not so many days, the big games of the year will be played, but this afternoons clash is expected to be an excellent appetizer for the menu to come later.
 Birmingham grid fans are curious ly watching the development of this years Bulldog outfit. Coach Harris Cope, former Sewanee star and head coach, now has charge of athletics at Howard, assisted by Joe Dobbins, for four years an all-Southern lines man. Random is interested in seeing what this pair of Mountain Tigers can do when given a kennel of Bull dogs to look after. and this after noon's game will be closely watched by thousands, perhaps not literally, but. at any rate, the game is an im- portant one for Howard.
 About Freshmen
 Freshmen will probably be used in this afternoons game at Berry Field Jacksonville State Normal is not in the s. I. A. A., and no unusual eligibility rules are in force. Says Coach Cope:'
 'Tn event of there being some
 misunderstanding in the matter,
 let me say right now, Howard
 will not use freshmen fin confer
 ence games this fall, unless given
 special permission to do so by
 the school billed to oppose the Bulldogs. In non-conference games I may use my freshmen,
 also.
 
 "However, Howard will ob- serve strictly all eligibility rules
 in force in the s. I. A. A. and, if freshmen are tabooed in all our conference games. we will not use
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-09-23

single one. Any reports out to
 the effect that Howard intends to
 use freshmen this year, are un-
 founded, and must be taken with
 grain of salt"
 This is the team which ran signals yesterday afternoon, and which start the game for Howard this afternoon:
 Shelton, left end.
 Afford, left tackde.
 Hurst, left guard.
 Captain Brindiey, center.
 Thomas, right guard.
 Stubbs, right tackle.
 Shores, right end.
 Laci<ey, quarterback.
 Mcintosh and White, halves.
 Clarke, fulIback.
 Of this team of eleven men. nine are letter men from other seasons, SO 1t can be seen that the freshman rule might not hit Howard so hard after all this year. Of course, there are several freshmen who are playing Good ball these days, but the above team will more than likely start to- Gay.
 Sure To Play
 Among the linesmen, Coach Cope has several huskies he can depend upon. The Bulldog mentor states that he will probably send in as many men as possible this afternoon. in order to get a line on what his men can do in action.
 In the backfield, Ham Stevens. splendid punter and ball tCter; Dan Gaylord, veteran back of two years experience, Hare, rejuvenated scrub of last year, and two or three others will probably be sent in during part of this afternoons game.
 The Bulldogs are light this year. averaging some few pounds less than 165 pounds to the man. The line is a scrapping wall however, and ought to be fairly strong on defense.
 Jacksonvilles lineup Is, as usual, only a matter of speculation. The Staters are said, however, to have a strong forward line with a speedy set of backs behind. The Normal hoys are expected to put up g stiff fight this afternoon.
 c. w. (Bil1) Streit of Auburn and Washington and Lee will referee the game this afternoon. L. Erwin of Drake university will umpire and pr. Randolph of Virginia will officiate as head linesman.
