COTTON STATES MEET
 HAS BRILLIANT FIELD
Lee Allen Brookes And Ray Lang To Defend Lo-
 cal Honor In Tourney


 Tennis fans are expected to crowd in large numbers to- the Birmingham Country club courts this week for the annual Cotton States tourney. This has developed into one of the biggest sport attractions of the summer, with interest and entries steadily inereas- ing.
 With entries closing today, a big in- crease in the number of competitors is certain. Play will commence at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, continuing until near dark.
 It will be remembered that last year one of the hottest races ever staged in tournament tennis play in the south was that for the doubles crown. Es- mond Phelps and Allen Huggins, the brilliant New Orleans duo finally came through after a terrific battle. They are expected again to be at least finalists. If there is such q thing as a favOrite in this sort of meet, then the , Crescent City stars are it.
 Besides Phelps and Higgins, New Orleans will send several other stars in an effort to cop the city laurels, but both Atlanta and Birmingham have at least even chances with the gulf rep resentatives. The Windy City of the peach district has always been fa- vored by fate in net affairs and it would be no surprise to see them by some turn of destiny come through with top honOrs.
 However, Lee Allen Brookes and Ray Lang, who have fought it out almost between themselves ever since the be- ginning of this tournament, will present Birmingham's claims to fame in a manner that undoubtedly has the odds on it's side. Brookes is very likely the most consistently brilliant netsman ever turned out locally, while Lang made

 HARD SCHEDULE
Greasy Neale Has Twelve Letter Men To Build
 Around

UNIVERSITY, Va, Aug. 2.-When football practice starts at the Uniyer- sity of Virginja on September 1, just month gfrom yeste yada, ,roadufsq { more than 50 men of known ability on the gridiron are expected to report for training to Head Coach Earle Neale and his staff of coaching assistants.
 Of the 20 varsity players who were awarded letters last year 12, or pos sibly more, will be ready to wear the Orange and Blue through the season which includes games with Hampden- Sidney, Harvard, Randolph Macon, Virginia Military institute, Pennsyl- yania, Washington and Lee, Georgia, Virginia Polytechnic institute. and North Carolina.
 Stars Arc Back
 Captain Sam Maphis, Carter Diffey, and Tom Mccoy aro the baakfield men who are sure to be on hand for practice and though Benny Arnold has Snnounced that he will not be able to play on account of the press of his work in the medical school, it is hoped that he will find time to fill his place behind the. line.
 Two former captains who have played together in the line for three seasons will not be among the Vir- ginians this fall. Staige Blackford, tackle and captain of ''23, and Toofie Hall, guard and captain of '22, will be lost to the squad as will Foster, Hubbard and Wilson from the back field, Walker from center and Baldwin from guard.
 As veterans abound whom he can build his line Coach Neale will have Fred Thesmar, center Jim Weaver, guard; Harold Holland, Buck Weaver, and Jim Winston, tackles; Bill Die trick, Don Darby, and Walter Brown, ends.
 Injury Hampers Tteam
 Injury, illness, or some rule of eligi- bility prevented the playing of Thomp- son, center Glauber, guard; Gwynn and Hankins, tackles, Friedburg and Coon, ends and Frost and McNealy, backfield men, But this group is made up of players who have come to Vir- ginia with good records and much is expected of them this year.
 A year ago, when Coach Neale be- gan his gridiron work at the university, the material before him seemed almost unbeatable. But injuries and other causes played havoc with what seemed before the season opened a winning combination, and disaster and defeat overlook Virginia in many of the games played.
 For the coming season the prospects are again excellent, but Virginia faces a hard schedule that will require all the strength that a well balanced team can command. Despite last years record the Virginia supporters are optimistic, and are giving voice to their confidence in Coach Neale's abil- ity to develop a winning gridiron com bination for the season of 1924.

ATTALLA, Ala, Aug. 2.-(Special.) The regular weekly shoot of the Attalla Gun club was especially interesting on last Wednesday due to a return match with the Gadsden Gun club. Each club has selected five man team to rep resent them and have begun series of matches to last through October. So far the Gadsden club has made clean sweep of the matches shot defeating Attalla last Thursday in Gadsden and repeating the stunt Wednesday in At talla, 110 to 102.
 The Attalla Gun club is making preparation to turn the tables in the September matches and the matches promise to develop widespread interest before the season ends.
 The fifty target match was won by J. E. Aderhold, Jr., who only let two clays get away from score of AS ex 30. He was closely followed by Hugh Agricola and Bert Maxie who scored AZ each.
 J. E. Aderhold, Jr., also led the 25- target match with perfect score, Hugh Agricola being runner-up with "A breaks.
 c. W. Shepard, Jr. comparatively new shooter, ran away with the double match breaking 20 ex 24 Charley has been improving rapidly and bids fair to develop into one of the best shots in Alabama in short time. R. E. Wilkinson was runner-up in the doubles breaking 17 targets.

TIDES GRID CHANCES !
 SPLENDID THIS YEAR
Only Four Letter Men Of Last Years Team Will
 Not Return

UNIVERSITY, Ala, July 31.-Rum blings of football, despite the baseball season being at its height, are beginning to cloud the atmosphere.
 Students from the University of Ala .bama are continually answering this question: What kind of a team are you gonna have this year?"
 Close observers of affairs of the Crimson Tide predict a greater machine at Alabama under Coach Wallace Wade this coming season than the team that almost won a southern collegiate cham pionship in 1923.
 The reasons for that are simply this 1: Coach Wade will be serving his second year as tutor of the Capstone's grid ders and all except four members of the 1923 machine are expected back to play a scheduled of nine games, all against foes in Dixie.
 Start September 4
 Practice will start at Denny field on September 4. Coach Wade has spent the greater part of the summer at 'Bama and kept in constant touch with all eligible members for the var sity team next year. He says they are pretty well scattered throughout the state and doing all sorts of things to get in good condition, and thinks all will be back.
 Practically every star of the Ala bama 1924 machine halls from this state. Pooley Hubert, crashing full back and captain. halls from Missis- sippi, and so do McClintock and Sal- mon. Cohen, a fleet sub back of last year, comes from the Lone Star state, and one or two of the freshmen play CTS who are being depended on call Florida home.
 But Propst, Gillis, Barnes, Jones, Camp, Hudson and other regulars call Alabama home, and here they rest. Buckler is from Wisconsin, but is be- ginning to think of Alabama as home, as does Dany.
 Union Opens
 ,Alabama's nine games start with the opening clash against Union univer- sity, defeated 12-0 last year, yn the campus. The longest trip of the year, to Greenville, s. C., to meet Thurman,

his letter in the sport at Oxford, and l is acknowledged just about the equal of anybody in Dixie. The Magic City can well lean back and stick it's thumbs in it's, vest as far as they are con- cerned, for only dire misfortune can keep one of the pair from victory in the singles.
 Of other Alabama cities, Montgom- cry would appear the highest rated be- fore the opening day. Bliss Edgar and R. E. Young from the Capital City, are vets of lengthy and usually victorious experience on the courts They will be hard to beat. Selma, it is under stood, will have some excellent contend CTS, while Anniston anC others are also looked to for entries.
 In Birmingham itself there will be fratricidal strife of a highly fragrant nature, for Alabama Power company and Crane company are both entering teams that have numerous supporters. These two corporal tions' representatives have been practicing for several weeks and they ought to put up real scraps be- fore being eliminated.
 A deal of work has been done on the Country club courts, They have always been rated as the best in the south and now they are in wonderful trim for next weeks grind. Freshly rolled and painted, they form a pleas ant picture against the green of the mountain behind them.
 It is known that number of the stars entered here will go hence to Asheville, N. C., for the southern tour nament to be held next week. It is not improbable that the 1924 tennis cham pion of the land of cotton will be seen in action this week here, for as suredly there has never been a more brilliant racket yielding field in the city.

 FOR BIG YEAR
Birmingham-SOuthe To Have Fine Athletic
 Field

With the best college athletic field in Alabama and one of the best in the south Birmingham-Southern' $ Panthers will start about Septmber 10 with a large delegation of old stars returning and prospects bright for one of the best teams of the colleges his tory uner an entirely new regime in athletics. ..-.5..
 The stadium has been completed and work in Munger Bowl is progressing swiftly. The Cyclone fence has been erected around the larger part of the few days. The work of sodding the field is almost complete and already a greenish hue is bravely setting off the oval surrounded by the recently completed quarter-mile track. The track has all the finishing touches added and is practically ready for use already. By the time of opening of the stadium, September 27, when the Auburn Tigers encounter the Pan thers in big dedication game, the field will be one of the most beauti- full in the south, none excluded.
 Drew In Chicago
 Coach Harold l.. Drew left during the week for Chicago where he win attend the coaching school under the direction of Knute Rockne. He took along with him on the trip Capt Red Farr, Loren Williams, Lorain Curly Black eleven. These stars are ex- outstanding stars in the Howard game last year while the former is alternate captain.
 Several stars of former years, who have been forced to quit school, have signified their intentions of again en- tering and going out for the Gold and Blavk eleven. These stars are ex- pected to offset the loss of several veterans. With the return of many of the reserve team stars and the usual influx of new material the prospects will be frightened considerably.
 Backfield Stars
 The backfield will have two scintil- lating stars in Williams and Black, probably the best prospects from last year. Then there is Captain Farr who has played fullback,, tackle and end. Just where he will play this year will be detremined by the proportionment of material.
 There will be several shifts possibly ot last year s veterans to fill up vacant berths, specially the end positions. The Freshmen will be under the charge of Coach Runser. former Pennslvania State star linesman, and his assist ants. The coaching staff will be one Of the strongest the Panthers have worked under for years.

RANSYLVANIA
 PROSPECTS GOOD
Coach Stewart Believes Team Will Be One Of
 Strongest

LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 2.-(Spe- cial. )-The Pennsylvania college foot ball team will start practice for the opening game of the season wieh Sewanee at Sewanee. Tenn, on Septem- Der 8, according to Coach Willis Stew art. Mir. Stewart is well satisfied with the prospects for one of the best teams the school has had since 1915, when they won the championship of the south.
 Practically all of the letter men will be back in school, including the incom- parable Ryan Thompson, who will lead the Crimsons in their gridir0n campaign for the second year. Thompson is con sidered one of the best quarterbacks in Kentucky and with the team which 1t is hoped to develop around him, will probably be enabled to win the ma jority of their games.
 New Stars Coming
 A number of men have signified their intention of entering school at Transy this fall and since Pennsylvania does not have to abide by freshman rules they will probably help considerably in the development of the eleven. Several of the men are said to have established an enviable reputation in high school circles, both in Kentucky and in neigh boring states.
 The schedule as arranged so far is {:
 September 20, Sewanee at Sewanee.
 September 27, no game.
 October 4, St. Xavier at Cincinnati, Ohio.
 October Il, Kentucky Wesleyan at Lexington.
 October IS. Centre at Danyille, Ky.

side of the line, supported by Jack Perry and Kent's brother, "Foxie,' at end. Perry was the regular end last year, and played a strong game. With his seasoning, he should be even bet ter this year. Wadsworth, also of last years second team, will make a strong big for an end position. Captain Lit tons place at guard will have to be fill ed by Detering of last years scrubs, or some of the freshmen who have come up a notch this year. Alfred Allen, who had hard luck last year with fallen arches, will be out again for a guard position. The Kirby-Smith brothers, from the freshmen team, will give good account of themselves as lines men. The center position is in the same fix as the guard position. If Walker Stansell returns, he will be a strong contender, as he has had a num- Der of years work, and is a hard play CT Freshman Johnson will also have try out. and will give Stansell a stiff fight.
 Barker At Quarter
 The backfieId will be in good hands with George Barker at quarter. This player is steady, reliable, and a hard runner. He takes punts with scarcely
  ris ought to shine at@ half position, as ought Gibbons, if his legs stand up un- der him, which gave him considerable trouble last year. Jack Todd is an other promising quarter, as is Gordon Clark. and either of these men can be alternated at half. Pete Baird will again be on hand, ready to slip through the line or around the end as occasion may demand. Graham Powers and George Mahony will again be on hand, either of whom can fill the fullbaek position. Then there is big Helvey, who is either a tackle or a fullback, and whose two hundred plus pounds hits the line like a battering ram. Frog" Sanders will perhaps have the call on the fullback position as he has been the regular for a year or so. and his bunting ability makes him a valu- able man for any team. Other promis- ing freshmen of last year who ore ex- pected to be on hand for try for the varsity this fall are Small, 4. l.. Clark, Potter Allen. Beaton, Chiasson, Mike Bennett, Anderson, Polk and DuBose.
 The scrap for positions this fall ought to be better than in many seasons.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-03

comes after that, and then will be played another campus attraction against Mississippi college. Sewariee at Birmingham, Georgia Tech at Atlanta, Ole Miss at Birmingham, Kentucky at Tuscaloosa, Centre at Birmingham and Georgia at Birmingham, on Thanksgiv- ing Day, complete the schedule.
 Alabama lost her two ends, both of four years experience, by graduation and has her hardest task ahead of her to fill these positions. Four men stood out in spring practice, and from these two are expected to come the regulars for this season. As it looks now, Hud- son, Dany, Caldwell and Jones are due to fight it out for the wing positions. Jones is the heaviest of the quartet, Hudson broke in most of the games, and is depended on for this season.
 Many Backs
 Alabama's backfield should not worry Coach Wade, as he only lost one reg ular, Baty, and sub, MacCartee. He still has Barnes, Hubert, Gillis, Brown and Whitaker on his string, and other good men in salmon, Cohen, Wall, Rosenfeld and McClintock.
 Buckler, Langhorne and Pickhard, the latter sophomore, loom out as best prospects for the tackle berths. Camp, Holmes, Oliver and Jones are the pick of the guards, with Ennis, reserve, standing a splendid chance. Big Ben Compton can be played at either tackle or guard and is sure to be in at one of the berths. Propst, with Jones and Holmes as reserve strength, will be the pivot man.
 Coach Wade will again have as his assistants 'Hnstling Hank Crisp, Russ Cohen and Bully" vandegraaf. Co., hen is used as scout most of the time, and Vapdegraaf coaches the fresh man team. Crisp and his boss, Wade. do most of the work at the varsity field, with Cohen and Vandegraaf usu- ally around.
 'Tis a bright cloud around the 'aThin Red Line" this year, and Alabama supporters have sneaking idea that better and more successful season than the 1923 season is in prospect for this coming fall.
