Golden Panther Starts Training Season On Grid

The call for candidates will be sounded on Sunshine Slopes today and all men who aspire to wear the moleskin brooches and gold and black jerseys of Birmingham South year will assemble this afternoon at street on the Underwater car line for the first football practice.
 Manager Thomas R. Walker will be busy all morning passing out the unies to some hundred-odd candidates and they will be donned for after noon work. Over 100 prospectiyes are expected to report, for first days practice.
 The practice field. just off the campus, has been put into shape and the finfsing work was done on 1t Tuesday. 1t was necessary to clear the field of weeds and grass and scrape it. However, the lot now pre- sents a fairly good field for practice and the first workout will not be held up on account of lack of a playing field. The work on the new quarter-mile track around Munger Bowl put the Panthers' home lot out Of shape for practice and 1t will be lost to them fer the season. This forced the college officials to get the temporary field on Green street.
 With the first practice slated for this afternoon the outlook is still rather hay, although optimistic There will be an abundance of line graduation last year, and several old stars and large amount of new material are coming in. Reports on the Hill are to the effect that Dave Evans, ore of the best guards to ever play on a Panther team, will be fGb A. pound yolngster who was on the 1921 squad, also unexpectedly turned up Tuesday morning.
 The backield is where the trouble lies. Little. can be said as to the backfield prospects until the men is the only veteran returning. John Mabry, of the 1921 team, Is also ex- pected in. The remainder of the backfeld will have to be built from scrubs and new material.
 Here Coach Douglas R. wingo's work comes in. Coach Wingo will assist Head Coach Charlie Brown with the molding of the Golden Pan ther this season. Coach Wingo will have the backfield men. He was star at Washington and Lee, where he played quarter His prep school playing was at Central high and he later went to Marion institute. Coach Wingo is an efficient man to ham de the training of a backfield but he will have plenty of work on the Pan ther eleven, although he sholld have large amount of new material to built from.
 Coach Brown will have the line and general supervision over the Panther's training. He was one of the best linesmen that ever. played on Vanderbilt university team and has had lot of experience at coach ing, having had the Birmingham Southern teams seven or eight years.
 Aubrey Miller, three years star in the Panther backfield and originator of several good plays used success7 fully by the Birmingham Southern eleven, will have qehargei of thel freshman team. Coach Miller is a competent man to mould the new material into shape for the hands of CoaceS Brown and WingO.

LONDON. October 4.-Resignation Of

pected in British political and financial
circles and consequently caused little
comment in the morning papers. It did,
however, bring forth a crop Of specula-
ton as to the probable effect on the
fate of the Ruhr district.
Franco-British cooperation was widely
discussed, with the idea that both coun-
tries should take an equal share with
the German industrialists In the re-
building Of the Ruhr industries. Ac-
,cording to one report, British capital
lists are willing to advance funds for
the reconditioninr OF Ruhr mines. fac

industrialists retaining sufficient for
working purposes 1t Is declared by
its supporters that such plan would
meet with favor among the indus

headed financiers across the channel
to make eventual evacuation proceed

French and Belgian control. Beriin's
turmoil is generally expected to have
