 Won Elm Cots Lead q" |. Won Elm. got his morning lead of seven holes over Mckenzie by shooting 1T, the best that any competitor did before lunch. McKenzie's afternoon 6S was the best round of the day. The school boy started cratic in his first big tournament match, but he quickly began to shot like a champion in the afternoon. Driving nearly as far as the heavy hitting Won Elm and often inside the westerner on his ap- breaches, Mckenzie was four, down at the 27th hole and two down with two holes left to play. He won the short 35th when Won Elm sliced his tee shot. It looked all over for the lad when he topped his drive on the 455 yard S6th, with quarry to carry from the tee. Out of the rough in the quarry to the. green, 260 yards away, went the boys remarkable brassie shot. Won Elm, after a great drive, was far out side Mckenzie with his second shot. It took Won Elm three butts to sink from forty feet and Mckenzie took two from twenty feet and squared the match. Series Even Their drives on the 37th were about even and both pitched well, MsKenzie seven and Won Elm nine paces away from the pin. The boy, made nervous by the big gallery, hit his first putt too hard and missed his second, eight feet long, while Won Elm got par four.
 One down after his morning round with Hezlet, and two down at the 27th hole, Marston squared the match at the 30th hole and went into the lead at the 32nd when the major missed a short putt. Marston won the 34th with birdie and the match ended at the next hole, a 215 yard affair when Mar major was in trouble from the tee. Each did the morning round in 80. Marston went to the turn in the afternoon in forty, one worse than Hez- let. ,
 Chick Evans was away off from in his match with Knepper. He visited trap after trap and often took more than one shot to get out. He won only three holes all day.
 Jones. Wins Match Bobby Jones, after his customary i'm different start, which left him only even with Thompson when they went to lunch, shot one better than par to the turn, in the afternoon, with the result that the match ended on the 31st green.
 The cards:
 Afternoon round: Jones, out 443 544 434-35;- r Thompson, out 553 545 553-40; Jones, in 444 8; Thompson, in 567 3.
 D. Clarke Corkran, of Philadelphia, winner of the qualifying medal, was two down after hiHnorning round with W. H. Gardner 6f Buffalo, but after the first few holes of the afternoon, the result did not seem to be much in doubt. ,

 BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 2S.-L. S. U.'ss football squad including the freshmen has. increased to fifty-nine men by the arrival of, several players and Mike Donahue has been driving them without cessation through the first part of the week. Workouts in the morning and evening continue to he the daily portion of the Donahuemen.
 Willie Hack" Strange, formerly of the normal team and tackle on the Au- burn freshman team of 1921, has re- ported for practice and will enter the university this fall. "Ox" Todd, one of the Bengal reserves of last year, has returned also. Todd plays guard. Godfrey, a promising fullback from the New Mexico Military academy, was out in uniform for a few days, but report has it that he may decide to enter Lo- yola instead of Louisiana State.
 Wilson Busy
 Assistant Coach Wilson has been in constant attention over a small divi- sion of the Tiger squad that seems in all likelihood to form the bulk of the Bengal line. Hubby" Weaver and Sam Morgan, tackles, Red" Swanson and J. E. Steele, guards, and Benton Vernon. center, are the men in ques- tion. This combination averages 195 pounds and bids fair to be the nucleus of Donahue's forward wall.
 The Tiger mentor has been using Ben Miller for quarterback, but Ben may fit in well at one of the ends with Cap tain Campbell. Weber or Otto Weaver at the other. Little Weaver has been played at halfback, but in Wednesday scrimmage the coach. shifted him to end on the defense. Billy Pitcher showed up we'll at halfback doing con sistent work in carrying the oval in both scrimmages.

 FRESHMEN TEAM
Varsity Works Hard For Big Auburn Game
 Here Saturday

There was no let-up in work on Munger Bowl Tuesday afternoon as the Panthers prepared for their games here Saturday with Auburn but rather in increase severity of the driving of the coaches. The Freshmen were turned into the Panthers' cage through the big gates of the Cyclone fence around the Bowl and they 'battled the varsity for over two hours Tuesday afternoon in a terrific practice game. The re- suit of the encounter was about three touchdowns and a field goal for the varsity and one touchdown and a safety for the Rats through they later scored touchdown when the entire scrub team was put into the fray.
 A forward pass to Fullbright and a 10-yard run put the ball over the goal for the Freshman touchdown while missed punt by Stevenson and his recovery netted them their safety.
 Varsity Scores .~
 The varsity scored when Price Howell scooped up a tumble and ran for counter, when Curly Black ran through the entire team for touch down, when Bulb Williams intercepted forward pass and raced 50 yards over the goal line and Kimbrough booted the ball through the new goal posts from the 35-yard line for a field goal.
 The running of Lbw,ery and Beck, stellar pair of midget halves, was the feature of the Rat offensive. Lowery was a hard man to stop at all times and ran through the varsity team for good gains. On one occasion five men tackled at the elusive half before he stumbled and fell after nearly clearing himself of all tacklers. Beck also made pretty runs. Lex Fullbright smashed the Varsity line on several occasions.
 Good Offense
 The Varsity displayed good offense with efficient interference on ma jority of occasions. Black, Williams and Pace were carrying the ball well.
 Coach Drew will send his charges through another tough scrimmage Wednesday afternoon to finish up the heavy work of the training period. The remainder of the week twill be taken up in signal drill and running plays.
 Plans are being perfected for d great day Saturday at the dedication of the Panthers' new stadium and cir GUS seats will be erected to handle the overflow crowd which is expected to

HUDSON NOT TO PLAY SATURDAY Injuries Will Hold 'Bama End Out Of Union
 Game

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Sept. 23.-- Especial. )-Ben Hudson, flankman in jured in Saturdays scrap against the freshmen, will be unable to play against the Union university eleven in the open ing clash of the season here Saturday afternoon.
 Hudson's knee is badly swollen, caus- ing the youngster to limp rather badly. It is believed that he will be out for several days longer than the Union game, but hoped he will be able to play an end position against Furman, if he is desired by the Crimson mentors.
 Stands were completely erected for the opening clash late Tuesday after noon. The seating capacity at Denney field will be more than 5000, with parking space inside the field for auto mobiles.
 Everything Ready
 All will be ready for the opening clash. The million dollar band has been practicing for the past two weeks, and with Jess Long at their head, will again strut down the field to the tunes of '"The Swing" Cheer leaders will be elated at pep meeting to be held in Morgan hall Saturday night, with sev- eral candidates. including "Slim" Car ter and Ham Perkins, cheer leader and assistant last year, out again. It is understood that a cheer leader and three assistants will be elected this year.
 Outside of Hudson all Crimsons will be able to play Saturday. Bruce Jones and Jack Langhorne were out at prac- tice Tuesday afternoon and seemed to be none weakened because of their few days illness. Johnston and Salmon, of course, won't be able to play because of their injuries. Barnes will be able to take a berth at a back position if needed.
 McClintock At End
 With Hudson laid up, Coach Wade tried Pig McClintock at flank, hop ing to be able to use the fast back on an end. Barnes was nsed some at wing position, as was Propst. The Hanks seem to be the only position that are uncertain on the Crimson machine.
 Practice Tuesday again consisted of signal-running, bunting, passes and light work, with some heavy work on tackling and blocking. Much attention is being paid to the passing of the pigskin, show ing that Alabama intends boosting of an offense that should rank with the of fense of other teams this year.
 Alabama should be a few pounds lighter, as an average, this year in the line, while the backs will again run
 around the 172 mark average. Spec
