 Changes i'm Schedules
 Not only will they have an op- portunity to observe these later sec tional clashes of more than ordinary interest, but they will see many changes in schedules. bringing new Toes to face each other for the first time under the Southern Conference rules adopted last year at Gaines Vile, Fla, and those brought about , also by formation of the South At lantic conference.
 More than usual interest attaches to several of the eievens this year some to the stronger squads that have lost particularly bright stars, and some to the weaker aggregations that may have found the much desired "punch' that sometimes comes with the advent of new coaches
 one of the centers of attention will be the 'prayin' colonels" of Centre college, made famous during the past three or four seasons by it's dash and the outstanding exploits of the in imitable f'Bo" McMillin. At the same time McMillins fortunes as .coach will direct wide attention to the Centenary team at Shreveport, La where the former star of Charley Moran's team was attracted by one of the biggest salaries ever offered southern football coach.
 Watching Centre
 The Centre college eleven will command much of the interest in Kentucky teams. the football fans from far and wide watching the ef- fects of McMillin's absence. They will have an opportunity to satisfy their curiosity when the Colonels, In the annual struggle on October 21, meet Harvard.
 Kentucky football teams are get ting almost as numerous, however, as the old-time Kentucky colonels, and Centre will have to keep up fast pace to outstrip the field for the Kentucky university eleven looks strong and has an attractive sched- ule that will see its climax in the annual Turkey Day game with the powerful Tennessee squad at Knox vile. Louisville, Transylvania and fp eln hind. clamoring for their place in the fore. and each promising formid- able opposition to It's opponents.
 Early Games September Pa
 While the preliminary skirmishes begin on September 23, the season does not get under way with fairly complete schedule until Saturday, the T 30th. Then many of the old-time early season rivals will face each other in their warming up clashes, the "big" boys hoping to find their lines impregnable. and with their backfields able to zigxag, twist and jump through the opposing line at will for easy gains. On that date Centre will make its first appear ance at Clemson where a warm re- ception is being prepared Another Palmetto state eleven will meet the Colonels later in the season when the university or oOuLn tdTOllnd BoeS to Danville November 30 to take them on.
 The closing of last season saw the passing of many stars whose loss from the line-ups evidently will be factor in this years struggles, but several of the bigger elevens started practice with enough of last years material to assure them of strong teams.
