 Reform

REFORM, Ala, June 21. (SpeciaD IF. S. Ward, principal of Pickens County High, recently announced that Homer A. Jackson has signed con- tract as director of athletics and head coach of Pickens. He is entering his fifth year as coach and second year at the local institution. Coach Jackson at- tended the seventh district agricultural school of Albertville and graduated from Jacksonville State Normal.
 At Marbury in 1919-20 and 1920-21. he turned out teams in all three major sports that won the championship of Fillmore, Autauga, Bibb and Chiffon counties. At Greenville the following year, his basket ball quintette marched through it's schedule to capture the Cen tral and South Alabama championship.
 At Pickens in 1923-24. he put the school on the map by turning out a team that held the Fayette county grid ders to one lone counter for the first three quarters. His basket ball quin- tette also won second place in the dis trict tournament and the base ball team captured II victories and lost only 5. He is looking forward to one of the brightest and greatest years of sport for Pickens when time comes for the sound for foot ball practice in September.

HOY LAKE. England. June 21.-- The annual attempt of American golf CTS to lift the British open champion ship, assumed an exceedingly serious as- pect today when in the course of a practice round Walter Hagen, who car ried the coveted trophy overseas two years ago and missed doing it again last summer by only one stroke, went around the Royal Liverpool club course in 6S, 10 strokes under Pogey.
 Twelve holes of this practice round were played in steady downpour of rain and the last six in timid sunshine which later became warm and dazzling in its brightness.
 Gene Sarazen, American professional champion, went out later in the day after a long practice session by himself of on one end of the course His prac- tice round resulted in card of very nearly even fours, as did also that of Macdonald Smith, the California star.
 These three professionals from Amer ica are considered by British critics to be the strongest Ghallengers for the championship.

Announcement was made Saturday that the Athletic Committee of Birming- ham-Southern College had just let the contract for enclosing Munger Field. The contract was let with the Cyclone Fence company, through Moore X Hand ley, with the understanding that the fence is to be completed by August 15. This means that the college will have an enclosure for the dedication eXer- cises opening the new stadium when the Auburn Tigers will play the Panthers here, Saturday, September ?, in the opening game. It is planned to have a crowd of over six thousand attend the dedication and the game, and the fence means that the college athletic associa- tion is insured against dead heads for the remainder of the life of the college.
 The enclosure will circle a half-mile in circumference and is the latest and most modern design of fencing for stad- iums and athletic fields. It will have four entrances, leading up from four roads which lead to the college grounds, and it is understood will have an ample space for parking automobiles in the enclosure so that spectators who so de- sire will not have to leave their cars in order that they might view the games. The new stands will take care of 5000 and with this added automobile space great crowds can be taken care of at the games.
