From Veterans Bureau Post
y! to Direct Work.

If President Coolidge AMI his cabinet
yesterday gave consideration to the
proposal that memorial be erected
In honor of the late President Hard

a proposition will have the backing
of the Chief Executive and the cab
met members who served under the
late President.
or interest in this connection was
the announcement later of the re-
trement of Brig. Gen. Sawyer from
the acting community managership of
the large Veterans Bureau Hospital

ed by 5000 school children. is to be
built In Allen county, Ohio.
The Harding highway from Lima
Will be planted for twenty-siX miles,

of a number of Ohioans.
The form of the memorial still is
indefinite as well as the method to

KAMA WILLING, AUBURN NOT; TEl
ATHLETIC COMMITTEE AT UNIVERSITY DECIDES THAT IT WILL ENDORSE AFFAIR
Letter From Committee Head To pr. Denny Expresses De- sire For Feeling Of Good Will Between Institutions

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 15.- The athletic committee of the Uni versity of Alabama is in favor of post season football game between the teams of the university and the Alabama Polytechnic institute. The one reservation by the committee is that all matters relating to the erection of an athletic stadium, the location and management shall De left to the athletic committees ot the two institutions.
 This decision was conveyed to Governor Brandon late today In a letter written by Dr. Eugene A. Smith chairman of the athletic com mittee, to Dr. George H. Denny, president of the university. The resolution adopted by the legisla- ture calling for a post season game provided that the net proceeds or the game should be rsed in the con structfon of an athletic stadium and the decision of the athletic commit tee of the university, if adopted, would retain the management Of the stadium in the athletic committees of the institutions.
 Dr Gorge H. Denny, presiden Of the university, was in Montgomery during the day but declined to make any comment on the request for the game, other than to say that the matter had been left in the hands of the athletic committee and 1t had defined it's attitude in the letter to Governor Brandon.
 Dr. Smiths letter follows:
 ''The joint resolution of the legis- lature having reference to post season football game between the University of Alabama and Auburn teams was duly referred to our ath- letic committee for action.
 T am reporting to you that this committee has voted in favor of sending an affirmative reply, with the reservation that the deter ma ton of all matters regardip the erection of a stadium, its location and it's management, shall be left to the athletic committees of the two institutions.
 Tn taking this action, the com nittee has attempted to conform to what it conceives to represent the uniform attitude of the athletic au- thorities of the university through all these years. At the same time if has put on record an expression of respect for the viewpoint of those who oppose the game. It recognizes the fact that there are able and con scientious alumni of both institu- tions who regard the liabilities st- tached to a resumption of athletic relations as more than counter balancing any good results that may reasonably be expected to Is sue therefrom Finally, the commit tee expresses the hope that what ever is done may contribute 10 genuine feeling of goodwill between the alumni of the two INSTITUTIONS

Auburn Official Fears Ani- mostly Would Be Restored By Game.

AUBURN, Ala. August 15-In a statement to Governor Brandon, President spright DoweI of Auburn has expressed opposition to the pro posed post-season football game be- tween Auburn and the University of Alabama. The proposal was made in a resolution by the state legfsla- ture.
 Dr. Dowel1's reply points out that the proposed stadium to be erected from the proceeds of the game as a memorial to the alumni who died in the recent war does not meet with his approval as an appropriate way to raise such 8 memorial; that stadium is not the paramount need of Auburn. and that animosity might be again brought about between the two institutions as the result of the game.

PEGLER'S PEGS

Americas two great tennis cham pions must withstand or fall before strong converging attacks this sum mer. Of the two, Bill Tilden seems more likely to survive. Mrs. Mallory's case IS far more serious for she never was the money player" that Tilden
 is. When Mrs. Mallory was playing behind her opponents score or hay ing bad day she does not often come up with q rush. Tilden did this in his greatest victory, the one at Forest Hills in 1921, in which he was within two strokes of defeat. Bill yanked himself together and by play Ing with what Coach A. A. Stagg called divine courage, saved the Da- wis cup from the Japs.
 Helen Wills. 17 years old now, larger, stronger, and an even better player than she was when she went to the final round of the women's championship year ago, will be no little girl" in the women's cham pionship of 1923. She has ben within two strokes of a victory over Mrs. Mallory ere this Then also, there will be Kitty McKane, the London tea shop girl, and Ms. Beamish, the other English star, to recokon scores with the American champion In this years tournament.
 Mrs. Mallory has been playing much better of late than she did in the Riviera tournaments of the win ter in which she became well ac- quainted with defeat. But those set backs probably indicate that her game won't answer her racket as rapidly as 1t used to.
 Little Bill Johnston is California's hope of a second national champion ship, if Helen Wills should win the first. Johnston, twice champion of America. now the Wimbledon world knows what it is to beat Tilden. He did it in the east-west tournament year ago and when the margin is so slight as it was in last years national championship, there is certainly a chance for Little Bill. Then there will be R. L c. Norton, the South African, who ran Tilden to five sets in the Wimbledon final three years ago and Manuel Alono. late of the Spanish Davis cup team who won from Tilden recently.
