All Phillips Regulars Return To Fold With Ex- ception Of Smith And Pilgreen

which helps out the backfield a great deal, but he is missed over at tackle where he plaSed last season. Shipley, though he has been having some trou- ble with his foot, is back on the field and doing we'll at quarter on the sec ond team, which is entirely dependent upon his kicking and head work. John son, playing tackle and guard on the second team, got trial with the regu- lars during the scrimmage, showing a good spirit and good defense ability.
 The weight of Phillips team, though it doesn't look it. is the same as it was last year when Smith is on the line. but when his 200 and some pounds come out. the average takes dip from about 15S down to 150. The two teams will be about evenly matched in weight, experience. ability and all.
 Gut at Wo0dlawn Coach Robin Hood is putting his clan through regular workouts. putting on nothing new or unusual for the coming combat. All the men are in good condition except ing Jones, captain, whose foot and knee have been giving him some trouble. but he will be OK. by Saturday. Hood is shifting Jones to tackle and putting Nunnally in his place at half. Levy. an old head on the Junior Colonels' team, will do some stellar playing for his mates and give Phillips load of trouble. especially if he starts down Il broken field with a pass. Nunnally has entirely recuperated from his illness now and will be able to cooperate in q game attack against their former schoplmates. Pots" himself played one season with Central before it was di yided into Woodlawn High and Phil lips High.

Sanford and Cy An derson are still keeping up the good work on the ends.

TRACK SEASON
 OUTLOOK GOOD
Finnish Stars Will Run In Races In U. $.
 This Fall
tBy Associated Press)

NEW. YORK. Oct. 22.-Although plans for the indoor track and field season still are in the formative stage prospects point to an unusually eril- liant program with international com petition that will bring many Olympic stars into the limelight.
 Outstanding in interest is the ex- pected invasion of PaaYo Nurmi, great Finnish runner and hero of four Olym- pie triumphs. and the probability that he will match strides with hls rival cOuntryman, Willie Ritola, Joie Kay, the former American mile champion. and Ray Bukcr, present national mile title holder
 MiIIrOse After Nurmi .. -.
 Nurmi has informed friends he will come here the latter part of December to prepare for an indoor campaign here but he has not formally entered any meets. The Millrose X. A. is seeking the famous Finn's participation m its two-day carniva! at Madison square Garden January 27 and 2S.
 Ritola who returned several days ago to this country, where he held numer- ous records and titles before going back to his native land ir the Olymplcs, is said to anticipate an active indoor season, although it k understood he plans to go back to Finland later i'll the winter to make his permanent home there. Ritola, however, probably would welcome chance to meet Nurml on the boards. They were keen rivals in the Olympics last summer.
 Ray May Come Back
 Many track followers also are of the opinion that Ray, in sipte of his dis appointing showing outdoors this year, particularly at the Olympics, where he was not in best condition. will stage q comeback indoors. The little Illinois A. c. star has hung up many of his best perfOrmanccs on the boards and would have an additional incentive in the prospect of again facing Nurmi, who has uut-classed the American in the past two Olympic meets.
 Another international feature also sought for the AIillrose meet is q walk ing contest which would bring together Ugo Frigero, Olympic champion, Willie Plant. American star and George II. Goulding, veteran Canadian and Olym- pic title holder in 1912. GOulding, who recently was restored to amateur ranks by Canadian athletic authorities, still holds worlds records. FrigerO proved himself the peer of the worlds best as they were gathered at the Olympics of 1920 and 1924, while Plant, who did not compete in the international games this year at Paris, is recognized as the premier heel and toe expert in the United States now.

ENSLEY WORKS HARD FOR TECH Coach White Works Yel- low Jackets On Pass
 ing Game

Coach Cannonball Whites warriors are doing hard work out at Ensley park, getting in ship-shape condition to meet the Tech high school eleven at Grant Park in Atlanta Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. With this sudden attack 9f old man winter, it will make the charges feel full of pep and they Will be able to put more energy into the plays than they have been in the past.
 Yesterday Coach White had his men working on the passes, which seem to be the weak spots of all three of the local elevens. Country" Iowery did most of the passing and at first the ground did most of the receiving, but AIS time passed along. the linemen and subs got to doing their stuff. However the suburbans will have to improve ln this a great deal if they want to make it effective against Tech. Of all those chasing 'Country's' passes, IelgleE looked best However, McGonagle was in a different part of the field while this was going on.
 Marston Good Kicker
 The Yellow Jackets still have fine booster in MarstOn. The only trouble is that Marston is entirely too expen- siye. keeping the Ensley athletic treas urer putting out to buy him new jer- seys. For instance, in the last game he had two torn off of him.
 Tech high is said to have better team than Chattanooga and so the locals will have to do some hard play ing. In fact, those Georgia boys sue ceeded in scoring against Dayton high of Dayton, Ohio, which is one Of the strongest northern high school teams; But if Ensley is defeated, there will be some weeping and wailing by fans m that city.
 When asked his opinion, Coach White said he didn't know much about the Atlanta team, but from what ne had heard. his men would be doing good to hold them. In regard to the line up, he said he wasn't sure who all he would take with him, yet, but it would be ap- proximotely the same ones he took 'c Chattanooga.

money from foreign communists.
Statements published today claim
positive proof now is available that
money is being collected on the con-

for the purpose of aiding the unoffi-
clal strikers in England. American
funds, it is stated, come largely from
a wealthy group in Los Angeles COM
posed of radicals, who think their
money is being used to support strike

Agents of the communist internale,
it is alleged. are appealing for funds

among revolutionary elements, but
are devoting all the money collected
TO fomenting reyoltS by the workers
against trade union leaders.

BY piecing together isolated state
ments of revolutionary leaders, it is
possible to trace the inspiration for
the present labor disturbance to COM

other leadership than that of their
own committees, but the facts point
squarely to outside interference.
