L CAIiOl VI AO commissioner

conference between the proponents
and opponents of the measur with
the committee members. The bill

ion, however, that with strict SUI
pervision and vigilance. this ele-
ment of opposition could be eliml-
mated.

Plans Complete For Polo Match
 Slated Saturday

Everything Is in readiness for the big polo game to be staged at Roberts Flying Field. near Ensley next Saturday afternoon at 3;30 sharp. Captain Duncan of the air service has his entire force working on the field, grading, cutting grass and putting up the side boards. Tickets have been placed on sale at Chenoweth's Sporting Goods Store on Twentieth street and many of the choice parking spaces for automo- piles have already been reserved for Birmingham society folk.
 The game will be a fast one from all indications. The Benning team has 24 of the fastest ponies in the good riders and players with big hsndicaps by the National Polo asso- citation.
 Birmingham has team that should be q source of trouble for the Benning team from the throw in" until the last whistle has blown. Captain Hurt of the Birmingham team selected red as the local coll ors and states that the visitors will see red from the start. Benning will wear blue, the colors of the infantry school.
 The army has just lost two of it's star players through accidents-Ma jor Wins Jones and Red" Erwin. The latter was scheduled to play against the British but suffered an accident In practice game that terminated his career as a poloist.
 Polo is one of the most dangerous as well as the most spectacular game played, and only expert horse- men are ever permitted to play in match games. Green horses are as Dangerous as green men both to the players as well as themselves. A tI aimed polo pony knows the game and knows as well as the rider how to avoid being thrown when running into the other fellow at full run to ride the player off the ball.
 Unlike many games, there are not a lot of technical rules that one must learn before he can understand the game. The horsemanship alone is always worth the price of admission and the thrills of beautiful stick work is worth going far to see.
 The public Is invited to visit the Flying Field Friday afternoon to look over the ponies and see warm ing up" practice. No admission will be charged Friday.
 Reservations should be made as early as possible for parking space for your car. The game commences at 3:30 sharp and in order to avoid congestion at the gate the public ls requested to come early. The gates will be opened at 2:3O p. m.
 General admission will be $l for adults and the youngsters under l6 can get in for soc.

PLAINSMEN STAGE FIRST SCRIMNAGE ON DRAKE FIELD
Scrubs Give Varsity Plenty Of Opposition In First
 Encounter

AUBURN, Sept. Especial )-The first Tiger growl was heard Tuesday afternoon when Coa9h Pitts blew the N histle for the first charge of the initial scrimmage of the 1923 season. After the usual l,rtbcrng up pe1od the tenative varsity was unleAsaen fog an attack on the reserve ou4.It. Upwards of 40 mon contendins fer varsity berths go. tnto the fray be- fore darkness cailed halt on 'Le attelnoon's hostilities.
 When the fracas began the varsity lineup consisted of Lawrence, center Contain Ragan and Sitz, guaria; Brice and Harkins, tackles; Howe and Pruitt' ends; Peterson quarter: Williams, Allen and Holmes, halves; ford, full. Judging from the way the hlue- -jerseyed backs hit the scrub line they had received information from the Tiger coaches that the first scrap of the season was to be a full grown affair, and after seven days of condi- tioning all was ready to hop off. To greet the waring Tiger was a squad made up principally of last years freshman aggregation. consisting of Johnson, center Self and Russell, guards; Graham and l. Lambert tackles; Jackson and Evans, ends; ArgO, quarter; Knight and Mims Holmes, halves, and Salter, full. This reserve squad proved very trouble some for the Pitts clan.
 The ball was given to Allen. Will Hams and Ford for nice gains, but to carry tho ball behind the end lines seemed hard. These aggregations battled for more than 20 minutes, when Peterson got loose for a gain of about 80 yards around left end, after which a pair of bucks placed the oval behind the goal line for the first counter of the season. "Flov- yer" Ford carried the ball over
 Harrison, who for three years has worked on the line, was allowed to replace Williams at half as the scrimmage progressed. The former Sidney Lanier star got off for a good day on the opener, His speed and eX- perience will probably go a long ways toward his permanency in the back field. Fox Howe. who has been seen seasons, has been moved up to an end job. Ollinger, who has been used at end on the second stringers of last season, Is expected to make a strong bid for place on the end. The work of Williams. Allen, Ford and Crane, who later substituted Peter son at quarter featured the work of the varsity. While the ability of the scrub line to check the varsity backs was noticeable throughout the scrim- mage. Trick" Tichenor, former Au- burn stag back and later assistant coach here, arrived in Auburn this morning to see the Tigers in their initial skirmish at Drake Field. He commanded the scrub forces with the usual effectiveness in their defensive efforts to stop the varsity backs.

ALABAMA TOHAVEt ONE OF STRONGEST.
 DIXIE GOLF TEAMS.
Baugh, Crisman And Other Links Stars Enroll At
 University

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. 1S.-The University of Alabama should have little trouble in ranking first among the colleges of the south that place a golfing team in the field, for four rolled at the university. This in- cludes the state champion and the southern intercollegiate champion.
 Among the first to register at Ala bama WAS Glenn Crisman, youthful golfer from Selma, Ala, who copped two tournaments this past year in the state. Glenn upset the dope at Montgomery this summer when he won the annual invitation toLrna- ment given by the Country club there, and a few weeks later romp- ed home ahead of the field at Mo- bile in the state meet.
 Bobby Baugh, Jr., sensational youngster from Birmingham, was another that put aside his golfing glory to become a rat" at the Uni versity. With Glenn Crisman as partner, he has been seeking the golfers of Tuscaloosa for games, and the two youngsters have corralled practically all honors around the town.
 The Crenshaw brothers-Files and back. So Is John Levert. With Aurelius Evans, these four men formed the Crimson golf team that entered the intercollegiate meet at Knoxville last spring. The Alabama golfing team had just been formed then, but Jack Crenshaw defeated Fred Lamprecht of Tulane, in the semi- finals for the championship Of the south.
 So, Alabama supporters need not fear that the Alabama golfing team will not be defeated many times this year.

VETERANS PICKED TO START AGAINST
 CADETS SATURDAY
Blrmingham'S First Game Of Season Will Be Played
 On Berry Field

As Saturday hears, the date for the opening football game of the 1923 season for the Bulldogs of East Lake, all Howard college is turning it's attention towards Berry field. It is there that the Bulldogs will meet the Marion Cadets Saturday, and it Is there that Coaches Cope and DobbinS are putting their men through their final paces before the first game of the season.
 Marion, an ancient foe of the Bull- dog has been given the opening date on the Howard schedule because of the extreme rivalry between the two schools, and the keen battles the two schools usually put up. It will be a campus game, and Howard athletic authorities wished to provide an in teresting fracas for their student body. Hence, Howard vs. Marion for Saturday afternoon.
 Monday the Bulldogs scrimmaged, Tuesday they polished off on signals, and today they will scrimmage again, their final actual battling before the spent in a thorough signal drill, while Friday will be polishing off day in the camp of the Bulldogs.
 Close followers of early season practicing at Berry field are already trying to predict the opening team lOI lHe DullQOSS AS IL seems now, there will be seven vet erans on the team, with four new corners to the varsity Saturday. Vet erans are being given preference in the opening lineup, it is thought, but the score or more husky fresh- men are sure to taste of battle be- fore the afternoon is over.
 Here's the way they're picking the starting team for Saturday: shelton (captain), left end; Lasseter, left tackle; Wells, left guard; Brindley, center; Stubbs. right guard; Bains. right tackle; Yarbrough or Williams. right end; Stevens, quarterback; White and Gaylord, halfbacks, Me- Carthy, fullback.
 All Il of the above men are old men, eligible in any contest, and the fact that the Sewanee game follows the Marion battle makes it seem prob able that the above team will be used Saturday. Freshmen will not be eligible against Sewanee, and Coach Cope hopes to find good con- bination for that game in Saturdays struggle with Marion.

ATHLETIC SOLONS. TAKE NOT NOTICE.
 OF FIGHT KICKS.
Complaints Made Against Conduct Of Gallagher In
 Big Bout


 NEW YORK, Sept 1S.-The New York state athletic commission took no cogniaance, officially, of the Dempsey-Firpo heayXWeigh htA chanl- pionship battle today, Edespitos feports that it might act upon the criticism directed at Referee Johnny Galla- gher because of his neglect to com pei Dempsey to follow instruction on several occasions during the fight. <.
 The commission discussed the match at it's regular weekly meeting, but issued no formal statement of it's however, that the boxing solons felt that though there may have been some ground for criticism of Gala gher's conduct. his judgment in the ring, nevertheless, was final and could not be questioned. &.
 The commission received number of communications concerning the title fight, particularly from Firpo partisans who charged that Demp- sey should have been disqualified for several alleged infractions of the rules before he knocked out the Wild Bull of the Pampas."
 The specific accusations in one of the allegations were that Dempsey did not adhere to regulations, agreed upon before the fight, in failing to go to a neutral corner after each knockdown; that he hit Firpo once before the Argentinian's knee had left the floor, and that he struck the South American several times after the bell had rung for the end of the first round.

CRIMSON TEAM IS TAKINGON SHAPE ON FIELD
Coach Wade Putting AIa bama GridderS Through
 Stiff Practices .


 UNIVERSITY. Ala, Sept. 1S.- Lack of ample work will not be ene of the faults of the 1923 football ssa- son at the University of Alabama if there are any faults, for Coach Wal lace Wade and his assistants are giving the Crimsons all the toll they can stand, both in the afternoons and at night. In the afternoon, it is practice at Denny field and at night it is gym practice. 1cig
 Gradually, despite slight bruises and ailments, Alabama's eleven is beginning to take shape, change here and there, but not so mafy changes. Coach Wade asserted one morning that he himself did not know where the men would take po- sition when the Tide starts the first game and from the experimenting going on at Denny field one admits he is right. One day sees Whitaker at line berth, the next day he is in the backfield. 'df
 For scrimmage, Coach Wade has been using two sets of backs-one Of MacCartee, Oliver, Hubert and Baf% the other composed of McClintock, Brown, Emmett and Whitaker. Changes are being made almost eT- cry play and in goes Johnston, Wins lett, Cohen or some other freshman of last year. The two Macs have been used as punters, and it is known that Mack Brown packs 8 mean lunge in his foot. j&
 Al Clemens and Ben Hudson have been catching most of the passes in practice. Opposing them have been DanY, Jones and Murphree. Clefr1- ems looks to be in better form than ever this year. but it IS not known yet whether any of the other men will be able to make the fans forget ri -3fH 0 varsity berth, and so does DaIiy and Jones.
 Crimson students are watching Ben Ennis and Pete Camp with much interest. These two sophomores have been holding down the guard positions, Compton having been shift ed to tackle job. Ennis was one of the most effective linesmen on the rat" team last year and great things are looked for from him. He is fast and small in height, but weighs enough to worry opposite elevens. Camp weighs around 200 pounds, and is rather slow
 Shorty" Propst donned his span gles again after a couple of days ill., ness, and is again showing the Cap stone he intends holding down the middle of the thin red line" again this year. Who will be his subst- tute Is hard to say, for both Bro6hie and Albert, freshmen centers last year, are not in school this yeare
 Coach Wade Is having night ses- sions in the gymnasium for his team This work is not viewed by anyone but members of the football team and they do all the work themselves. What goes on cannot be said, but it is known that this practice goes on at least three times a week. From 1t all is expected to come a team of brainy men as well as brawny. ,,s It rests assured that Alabama's team will be heavy this year. Comp ton, Propst, Camp, Bucl<ler and Hu- | bert all weigh around the 200 mark while Perry, Jones Brak efield, Mac Cartee, Oliver Clemens, Dany ana others hang the scales around the 160 to 1S0 mark. Last years line averaged about 1855 pounds, but itlis doubtful whether the line will be that heavy again this year. ,oI
