AUBURN PREPARING
 FOR 5. U. SATURDAY
Pitts Sends Charges Into First Game Of Hard
 Series Here This Week

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 20.-(Special.) ) Coach John F. Pitts and his % grid men settled down Monday afternoon on grind of preparation for the fu- ture games on the 1924 schedule that is probably unequaled in past football history on the Plains.
 Five major games appear consecu- lively on the Tiger calendar. Louisiana State university, Vanderbilt, Tulane, University of Georgia and Georgia Tech are five renowned names of our leading universities whose football teams must be reckoned with in the scramble for southern championship honors.
 Georgia Strong
 That the Georgia Bulldog is fortified with the oldtime power and drive was proven beyond doubt in the clash with the Eli eleven a week ago. The Geor- gians came through with a rather easy win over Furman last Saturday.
 Georgia Tech for three Saturdays hand running has stood the gaff of Eeavy fire from three worthy oppon- ents in the personages of V. M. l., Flor ida and Penn State.
 Louisiana State university after bare ly nOsing out 7-to-6 victory over Spring Hill pulled out of Indianapolis crowned with 20-to-14 victory over the strong University of Indiana team who is member of the Big Ten. The strength of Donahue's machine was again exhibited when he took in tow theMIIeisinan eleven from Rice insti- tute out in Texas where he won 12- too count over the Lone Star outfit.
 Then comes up for consideration the Tulane Greenies and the Vanderbilt Commodores, who grappled in great game in New Orleans last Saturday. Tulane whom the Tigers have beaten twice and tied once within the past three years stepped up and toppled the dope can by administering 21-to13 beating to the 1923 southern champs, who have been regarded by many as one of the strongest contenders for the same honors this year. From the in formation at hand Tulane must be rated as one of the best in the southland. While Vanderbilt has been beaten by a southern conference team she must still be regarded as one of Dixie's best and with such men as Bomar, Wake field, Gil Reese, Kelly and the other

BETHLEHEM CLAN
 BEATS RANDOLPH

WADLEY, Ala, Oct. 2O.-( Especial. Bethlehem junior college won their first football game here when they defeated Randolph county high school by the count of 12 to6 in q hard fought strug- gle. It was their fourth game of the seascn.
 Schusseler and Woodall went over the line to score touchdowns for Beth lehem,> and played in fine fashion throughout the game. Randolph came back strong in the latter portion of the game, but were unable to count but single touchdown.
 A large crowd saw the game at the local college campus.

hind Nebraska's goal line for touch down. Cottle of Yale sent the ball 1S yards to Pond and the latter leaped five more for a touchdown against North Carolina.
 Score from blocked kicks likewise are mighty scarce, which means that punt CTS are kicking faster and better and that their protection is rendering bet ter service. B]ankenburg of Hampden- Sydney blocked kick behind Virginia s goal line and fell on the ball for a touchdown. Garbisch of the Army like wise blocked a punt against St. Louis and Baxter of the Army fell on the ball for touchdown.
 Fumbles Frequent
 Fumbles, to the contrary, not only have been unusually frequent in tha opening games of the season, but an un- usually large per centage of them have resulted in scores, and one ill an Ae- tual victory. At Huntington, Pa., lasi Saturday, Juniata college was playing George Washington in a game in which neither side could score. A Washing ton player haplessly dropped the ball In an instant Daily of Juniata had seized it and was off on run of At yards for a touchdown, and victory The notorious fumbles of the season as thus far played have been as follows
 75 yards-Beatty, Maryland vs Washington.
 50 yards-Strouse, Gallaudet vs Bucknell.
 45 yards-Daly, Juniata vs. George Washington.
 35 yards Marshall, Manhattan vs Fordham,
 30 yards-Hartwell, Cornell, (Ia). vs. Grinnell. .-'
 25 ,yards-Greenough, Harvard vs. Virginia.
 25 Wabash vs. Perdue.
 Many Field GOaIs
 The field goal corps of the. country is larger and more brilliant this fall than ever before in the annals of the sport. In 1928 the record for the larg est number of goals from placement by one player in single game was two. In the first Saturdays of 1924 two players have equalled this record John F. McBride of Syracuse in the game with Mercer kicked goals from placement from the 35 and 30-yard lines. E. Williams of Auburn sent two magnificent goals from placement over Clemsans cross-bar from the great dis tance of 49 and 45 yards. Two play CTS also have won two great games by place-kicks. Earl Britten of Illinois the predicted champion of the middle west, saved the reputation of the prophets by defeating Nebraska by a goal from placement from the 25-yard line. Arthur Coglizer of Missouri over came mighty Chicago by a well directed and well diriyed goal from placement from the 20-yard line, the sole score of the day. The principal goals from placement thus far achieved are as fol

 He made no further reference to the Dolan-O'C 'Connell scandal, which was taken to indicate he previously had said everything about it that he cared to say.

 of the season.
 The study of the scoring plays in football as returned from all of the gridirons of the country is indeed n pIeasurable pastime.
 The outstanding feature of the two initial Saturdays of the season is the unusual number of scoring runs from the kick-offensive. The season of 1923 produced only 12. And one of these five runs has come within two yards of the record run of this class in 1925
 Sweeney Holds Record
 The leading run-back of kickoff to a touchdown in 1923 was dash of 100 yards by Havrey F. Sweeney Of Sns- auehanna against Colgate. The five runs of this type in the first two weeks of 1924 are as follows: 9S yards-Boman, Syracuse vs. Mercer.
 96 yards-Koppisch, Columbia vs. HaverfOrd.
 86 -McKenny, Boston College vs. Providence.
 S3 yards--Douglas, Pennsylvania vs. F. and M.
 60 yards-Slane, Fordbam vs. Man haitian.
 Similar to the running back of II | kick-of to touchdown is the running back of a punt to q similar ending of perfect journey. Considering the | large number of punts that have been sent twisting down the football field of the United States in the past two Sat urdays a surprisingly few have been caught and run back to touchdown. Long Returns Of PuntS
 Those which outstand are as fol- lows:
 60 yards-Baker, Penn. State vs. North Carolina State.
 55 yards-Baker. Penn. State 's. 1 North Carolina State.
 50 yards-Brown, Alabama vs. Union.
 43 yards-Pease, Columbia ys. Hay IT, ford.
 Long scoring runs starting from scrimmages are multiplying so rapidly that they do not testify to the prowess of the large number of brilliant backs aboard but they promise to surpass the records for this type of ~uns i'll pre- vious years. The principal long runs from scrimnages thus far reeled off are the following:
 SS yards-Benkert Rutgers vs. Le- banon Valley.
 65 ynrds-Harmon Wisconsin vs. North Dakota.
 71 yards-Reese, Vanderbilt vs. Bir- mingham- Southern.
 65 yards-Reese, Vanderbile vs. Bir- mingham- Southern.
 60 yards-COnnelly, Notre Dame vs. Lombard
 50 yards-Steger, Michigan vs. Miami.
 50 yards-Kilpatrick, Georgia vs. Mercer.
 45. yards-Buckley, Fordham vs. Seventh Regiment.
 40 Michigan vs. Miami.
 Few Scoring Passes Although the accounts of the games in the national terrain reflect the hurl- ing of many forward passes which have been completed few, vrey few, com paratively have scored directly. So much for the skill with which the last bastion nowadays is being defended. Those which have been carried across the line for touchdown are brilliant examples of the forward passing art. Frost of Virginia threw a pass 20 yards | to Amer for the winning score against Hampdcn Sidney. Hunt of Ohio State sent short one to Karow and the lat ter raced 40 yards to Purdue's goal | line, also winning the game in which the pass was thrown.

|EPINARD HAS
 RUN LAST RACE
Owner Refuses $3OO5OOO
 Offer For French Thoroughbred

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.---After dis closing refusal of $3O0,O00 offer for Epinard, price which sets a new rec ord in thoroughbred values, Pierre Wetheimer announced today that his famous French horse had run his last race and would be retired to the stud.
 NJ. Wertheimer did not reveal the name of the, bidder for Epinard, but it was said to be a prominent American turfman who believes the French crack in spite of four straight defeats in this county, is one of the greatest thorough breds of all time.
 Epinard came out of his last race at Laurel, Md, last Saturday with a quarter crack on one of his front feet. The injury, which occurred during the race, resulted in the horse's finishing fifth in a field of seven and prompted the decision of Wertheimer to retire his star from further competition. The injury, he said today, was more serious than was at first believed and would preclude any further racing by Epin- ard. -.
 Epinard will be shipped back to France aboard the Berengaria in No vember, according to M. Wertheimer, who plans to depart Wednesday.
 In acknowledgement of bronze representation of Epinard, given to it by M. Wertheimer, the Jockey club to- day wrote the owner of the French horse paying tribute to his "coutage and sportsmanship" and adding:
 "The great good done by your sue cessful support of the thoroughbred horse both in breeding and racing will be of infinite and lasting importance for years to come to the turf
