ATHLETIC FIELD IS BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING PANTHER DIRECTORS THIS SEASON
Birmingham-Southem To Have Large Nucleus Of Veterans And Much New Material For Football
 Team This Year

ing backfeld men that the Panthers have had in several seasons. Tout ed as the fleetest man on the Hill, excepting Otis Kirby, the track flash, Williams will make a good ground gainer for the Sunshine Slopes out fit during the coming season.
 Jonah" Stead played a good half back on the scrub team last year and although small in statue is a fairly speedy back.
 Anderson At Quarter.
 June" Anderson played sub quar- terback on the varsity eleven last year and with the passing of Miller and Norton this duty may fall to him as a regular job this season. An derson is a dimunitive but steady little backfield general and his only handicap is his size, as he is fleet youngstar.
 Sid" Godbee was one of the fast est men on the squad last year. He got only one or two chances with the varsity in action last season but may hold down 6 regular berth this season.
 verman Kimbrough played a good end on the freshman team and Is a good passer and punter. He shows promise of developing into good man and may get his chance this year.
 Bob Manar played the other end on the scrub team and Is also good booter. He will be one of the fore most in line for a regular berth on the 1923 eleven.
 With this nucleus of veterans re- turning and indications of a large number of good men out of freshmen class, which will number around 400 this year. the outlook is not so dull on Hilltop IT. addition to the new men who will come in is John Mabry, one of the fastest men on the 1921 team, who will make the Partners good man this year. He is a heady player and a good broken field run ner. From this team, also will come George Oates. star twirler on the baseball nine, and a good man on the football team.
 Practice will get under way dur inf the coming week despite the fact that Eo field has as yet been ob- tained. Some means will be provided for the starting of the training grind and candidates will probably receive their call to get uniforms about Wednesday.

.GREDIRONOUTLOOK F o R MISSISSIPPI COLLEGES BRIGHT
MillSaps, "0Ie Miss" And Mississippi All Have Much
 Material On Hand

JACKSON. Miss, Sept. s.-fSpe- cial)-Colleges of Mississippi will likely write football history during the season of 1923, if optimistic re- ports received from three institu- tlons regarding gridiron activities now being undertaken, are to be counted for anything
 At the University of Mississippi, although Coach Cowell is destined to reel keenly the loss through gradua- tfon of Calvin Barbour, captain of last years squad, and generally looked upon as one of the greatest broken line runers this side of the Mason and Dixon line. He is said to be depending upon the return of practically all of last years varsity team and the cream of one of the best 1922 freshman elevens in the state to place in the field for Ole Miss an exceedingly creditable rep resentation. Johnny Montgomery will captain the Red and Blue this year.
 George Boehler, newly appointed coach of Mississippi college, was scheduled to arrive at Clinton from the northwest this week, and first workouts will probably be held by the Choctaws within the next few days. Thirty men are to report to Boehler, among whom will be J. F. \ ANoS DNCHall, WHO WILL captain the eleven, and Lambright. Parks long, Hudson, Austin. Sheffield. Bailey and Wroten, all letter men of 1922. In addition to the eight vet erans he will have, Boehler will probably dip generously into Missis- sippi colleges flashy freshman elev- en of last season, which ranked among the strongest in the common wealth.
 Although Millsaps college lost two of its best backfield men through graduation last year, Coach Zlmoski will press the redoubtable Chick Nell son into service in the rear division and, with several other huskies to pick from, he does not believe that he will have any cause for worry this season. Jimmy Campbell, who played end in 1922. will captain the majors. Zimoskis excellent leader ship tactics last year has imbued the Purple and White with confidence that promises to be unbeatable eX- cepting the two losses through grad uation. practically every other letter man will be back on the local eleven.

We'll Balanced Schedule Faces The MoccasinS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenna Sept B. Special .)-Return of seven veteran backfield men is the basis of Uni versity of Chattanooga's hopes of a successful football season this fall The team will be coached by Will McAllester, University of Tennessee star of a dozen years ago, with Howard Parker Talman; Rutgers vet teran, as assistant coach and athletic director.
 The schedule Is one of the best the Moccasions have ever attempted and will feature, as last year, games with four rivals of similar speed and rivalry in the central south namely; Howard, Birmingham Southern, Ogle- thorpe and Mercer. A trip to Shreve- port a game with Bo McMillans Gen. tenary college team will be taken as a diversion. Bryson, Cumberland and Pennsylvania have been booked as buffer games. The schedule:

 November 20, oglethorpe at Chat tanu0s9.
 In the backfield Connie Givens and Skinny" Daniel will return for quar- terback service. Pete Anderson, Harry Cate, Norman, and Will Sans and Sam Tuano are practically cer- tain to return. Then Yarneyy Barnes, who was kept out of 1t last year with a broken jaw, will be back and 1t Is hard to figure how he can be kept from being a first string man, per laps even arguing for quarterba k assignments.
 Hard Hit On Line.
 in the line, the Moccasins were hard hit, losing Owen, Goldstein, kcho, Redd and Sussdorf, but con- siderable talent was left over, inciud- fng veirs. the Iowan. who was a ripsnorter on defense at center; Ansel, regular guard for two years, and a good, steady man; "BilP' Dyer. who sit 'em lively at times, at tackle Roach, subguard last year; Jeff Set life, who ought to be a headliner on end this year; Big" Anthony, whose weight ought to carry him to a reg ular position with the experience he received year ago; Bob" White, promising member of the second string squad of last year; Wallace, the Chattanooga Medicine company heavy weight

They've stolen a march on the weather gods, have the football pas timers of Howard college. It's been the privilege of those gods ever since the pigsgin game came into being to exact it's toll of human dis cOmfiture once a year. to smile and chortle in glee over the agony of the toiling, sweating. pastimers be- low, who wander aimlessly over their green, grassy Gridiron.
 But they stole a march on the Gods, did the pastimers of Howard They caught their torturers asleep, the entire troupe completely off it's guard. And, while clouds hid the sun from view and weather Gods slept, the Bulldogs began their foot ball work on Berry Field. So the Gods will have nothing to gloat over this fall, so far as the Bulldogs of Howard are concerned.
 While their immortal foes slept, the Bulldogs went through three days
 of practice. and emerged through their period of early physical dis comfiture with the least discomfort possible. Clouded skies, lack of sun and continual threat of rain has made the first three days of prac- tice on Berry Field at least bearable, where tradition says they shall be unbearable.
 Saturday, the gods awoke with a start, and their flaming temper was typified by a broiling sun that beat
 down upon the field in a manner that would have satisfied imperial Faust himself. But the march had been stolen, the Bulldogs had under gone the hardest days of all-the first two days of practice-and the sunshine of Saturday merely fur nished fabrication to Timber the ex- ercise stiffened muscles of the pas timers.
 O O o
 Call Issued Thursday.
 Coach Cope issued his initial grid iron call on Thursday. and a squad of approximately half hundred candidates answered. All the old uniforms and most of the new ones were pressed into service, while fur
 nishing shoes for that gang was a bit worse than it would be if one forced to install footgear in a wan dering herd of wild elephants Hur- ry orders were placed with the sup ply store for extra tousers, shoes etc.
 Guess I'll have to order scrim- mage Monday, if I expect to keep
 my gang in uniforms" Of course,
