TAKES
 FRONT OF STAGE
Alabama Colleges Plan Big Year On GridirOn
 This Season
(By Associated Press.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 30.- Baseball must evacuate the center of the stage of public interest during the next month in favor of football. The in exorable terms of the international conference of public opinion and desire will retire Babe Ruth for the husky punters, and the crack of the willow connecting with the horsehide will be replaced by the dull "plunk" of leather covered toe crashing into the pigskin. Preseason prospects admit each col- lege to the right as championship contender, and the old grads and young hopefuls already have started their an- nual athem of hope.
 What 'Bama and Auburn will do this year is the topic uppermost in the col- lective collegiate mind of the state this year. Tide Reports September The Crimson Tide has been called to report for practice September 4. Four l teen letter men return to fold this year, and hopes run high on the Cap | stone campus. Auburn is a few days ahead of its | sister school. The tigers will gather l for their annual rally Monday, with 17 familiar stocky figures back in the lineup.
 Spring Hill college, Mobile, Howard and Birmingham-southe-n colleges, Birmingham, also are starting the an- nual broadcasting of hopes and predic- l tions. Schedules for three of these five schools, University of Alabama, Au- burn and Spring Hill, follow:

 The Crimson Tide is mapping out a hard battle for the season, as also has Auburn. 'Bama will meet the Praying Colonels" at Birmingham, and Georgia at Birmingham, in the last two days of the season. Birming- ham also draws one other Crimson Tide fracas, and one is to be played at Cramton Bowl, in Montgomery.
