Panthers Being Worked Hard for M Mercer Battle

With a game with the strong Mer- cer University team Friday and with the first real football weather of the season this week Coaches Brown and Wingo are working the Panther grid iron machine a full speed during the early part of the week.
 The entire squad is back in uni- form those not being able to make the trip to Mississippi last week are back in shape. John Candy and Price Howell are back in the scrimmage 1t the flank positions, while Pritchett Hoss Candy are Tn seemingly better condition than they were last Thurs day.
 The game with Mercer will prob ably be the hardest on the Gold and Black schedule for the remainder of the season as practically the entire Baptist team is back for this year with some good football records for the early part of the season. Mercer defeated the strong University of Chattanooga team last Saturday, scor- ing definite victory and the Pan- ther will haev hard fight on his hands when lie lines up on Georgia ground Friday.
 Miller, Williams. Farr and Rich ardson, varsity backfield men, are running regularly in the scrimmages during the early part of the week while Yielding, Black, Anderson, kfmbrough and Thompson are com ing in for regular workouts.
 The regulars in the backfield are looking better in the scrimmage than they have been during the past two weeks and the substitute men for those positions are pushing them for places on the starting lineup. A hard scrimmage between the varsity and the scrups featured the practice Tuesday afternoon, the varsity de- fanGa ct hA rushes of the scrub team, reinforced by several members of the varsity.
 Birmingha n- Southern will base much of it's hope for the game Friday in the strong Panther line which has been able to develope a holding abil- ity equal to that made famous in sea sons past. Rawls, Levie, Dad Howell, Scott, Evans, Weeks. Pritchett, Ash wander and Etheridege are having regular workouts at the central DOT tions of the line while the two Gandys. Price Howell and Malloy are showing up well. as usual, at the wing positions. Calhoun and White side are good substitute nnesmen who may see service in the game with Mercer in case the Panther coaches decide to take an extra division of lnesmen.
 Extra attention is being paid to the defense in the Birmingham Southern Workt-outs this week as the game with the lads of Georgia will. quite probably, be a defensive battle on the part of the Gold and Black team. The line is being strengthened with the idea of stopping Mercer rushes as the team remembers that the touch- down made by Millsaps last week was made by the Mississippi team blocking a punt behind the Gold and Black goal posts.
 One more hard practice will be staged in the Panther camp before the team leaves Thursday for Macon.

MAY. REACH NEW MARK

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-New at- tendance records for football are likely to be set this season, If the early season rush for the turnstiles at gridiron battles throughout the country may be taken as criterion.
 The total attendance in five Of the leading gridiron engagements last week approached 100000. The Har- vard-Holy Cross game attracted b0,- 900; the Noter Dame-Princeton game, 45,0oO; the Penn-Columbia game, 3S.- 900; the Notre-DameP Princeton game, 3O,OOO and the Syracuse Pittsburg game 10000. Nearly 200 other col iege football contests played that afternoon, each attracting addition al thousands, indicating the tre- mendous popularity of the sport.
 Never. so early in the season, mas the college pastime gained so great a hold upon the public. At Cam bridge the wooden stands, formerly required only for the Harvard-Dart- mouth Harvard Princeton and liar Vard-Yale games, were almost filled. notwithstanding the fact that both Boston college and Tufts staged con tests nearby.
