LONDON, Aug. 30. England f00.-

Major A. G. Wade, the British arch

portant discoveries in the gravel pits
near Farnham, Doretshire.
Among the relics brought to the
surface were the remains Of NAM
moths. an elephant. woody rhinocer.

of the mammoth and the rhinoceri

warm weather animal, but needed
tropical climate
The flint instruments consist of
great hand axes. oval shaped discu-
lar implements larger than mans
hand which were probably used for
skinning and cutting up large ami
mails. and enormous spears of the Pa
leothic age. According to Major
Wade. the persons who used them
had attained a much higher degree
of civilization than those of the
Neolithic period who followed them.
Major Wade placed the age of his
discoveries at 100000 years. basing
his estimate on the depth at which
they were found under the gravel OF
the old bed of the Wey River.

Most Attractive Schedule In Years Being Made
 Out For Club Quintet

stars who scintillated sensationally on the gridiron, including Flash Covington, Lemon and Thomson, and local fans will be anxious to get glimpse of them on basketball court.
 The "Big Trio"
 The usual home and home games with the Atlanta Athletic club, for a period of long standing the greatest foes of the club contingent, and with Alabama and Auburn have already been closed. Trips to the campuses of the two Alabama colleges and the jaunt to Atlanta are the lone appearances of the B. A. c. quintet on foreign soil each year. On the other hand, the game between this trio of quintets in the Magic City are classics from a basketball standpoint each season, and are the most interest ing performances of the year locally. Climaxing the season will come the an- nual fracas with the Atlantans at the local court.
 The usual games with Howard and Birmingham-So will appear on the schedule, although the dates have not been definitely fixed. In addition, games with Georgia Tech, Georgia and probably Mississippi A. and M. will also be among those the Blues will play. At any rate, a most attractive menu is be- ing made out for the team, staterd Man. ager Leighton.

PAINTERS WILL
 MEET ALABAMA
Cross-Country Team To Run At Tuscaloosa
 Saturday

Birmingham Southern S cross country track squad will run Saturday against the Alabama harriers at Tuscaloosa, ac- cording to announcement Monday by Coach N. Gilbert Riddle.
 Led by their fleet-footed captain, Floyd Wilson, the Panther tracksters have been training all season for the runs in which they expect to participate within the next few weeks. Early hand leaps and misunderstanding concerning meets with other colleges hindered the development of the fall squad some what, but both the coach and runners now declare that they intend to win laurels enough in the coming runs to make up for the hindrances suffered at the beginning of the season.
 Floyd Wilson has been going we'll all season, and in the Cooper road race in October broke all former records at the Hilltop institution for the three mile run. This is his second year on the squad, and if the dope is right, he may lead both Southern and 'Bama runners Saturday. Wilson's popularity on the squad was manifested this year when he was elected captain, a position which he earned through hard training and consistent running. He is now re- garded as one of the best distance run ners in the state.
 Stevenson An,, MachadO
 Paul Stevenson and Oscar Machado are two men on the squad who are sure to make the Alabama trip, with present conditions prevailing Saturday Coach Riddle announced. Both arc veteran tracksters, the former being a two-year man, while the latter has beer going out for this activity since enter ing school four years ago. Machadc is a Brazilian runner, and won thirG place this year in the Cooper race
 Of the six members of the tean who will run Saturday, three will bt selected from the first-year track men

BOXING FANS TO
 SEE BIG SHOW
Another Attraction Added For Wednesday Night
 Event

Instead of seeing thirty-eight rounds of sports at the Birmingham Athletic clubs sport show Wednesday night, as was at first planned, local bugs are go- ing to enjoy forty-six rounds of the most hectic milling Birmingham has ever witnessed. Petey Sarron and Red Burke are to appear on the only ten-round box ing card but there will be four other bouts of four rounds each and also ten round wrestling match
 As an extra added attraction for the show, which the club is staging to raise funds for the Community Chest, it was announced Monday that Stevie Sarron and Young Battling Kelly had been matched for six-round set-to. The former is under the management of Jack Bodine and Jack promises that Stevie will be in the best of shape for the mid-week milling.
 Another change was noted in the line up as given out by Matchmaker Dave Evans Monday night. Spark Plug is to battle Perry Shaw instead of Jack Wehby, it being figured that Wehby was bit too heavy for Sparky. Perry Shaw is also under the management of Bodine.
 Phillips Has Rep
 Jack Phillips, who battles Big Boy Edmunds in a six-rounder, came into Birmingham with quite a reputation he had gained for knocking 'em cold in Illinois, where he halls from, and Bodine is expecting this protege of his to show the fans something when the gong counds tOmorrOw night
 Another bout which is attracting widespread interest is the six-round af- fair between Young Smith and Tony Mareno. These two boys have never met before and are heralded as the two best in their weight in the Birmingham district. Tom Lacey will also take on Young Harrington in a ten-round wrest- ling bout.
 None of the boys who will take part in the Wednesday night show will re- ceive penny, having agreed to donate their services as their bit toward putting the Community Chest drive over.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-12-02

Powell Thompson is runner who has showed up we'll thus far, and stands out in front as a Freshman trackster. Baswell, Deloach, Hicks, Stewart and Stinson compose the eligible list for the Alabama run. These men all rank about the same, and it is up to their achievements in this weeks training as to whether they will be taken on the trip Saturday.
 The Panther runners will participate in the B. A. c. invitation run Decem- Der 13, Coach Riddle stated. This meet will end the season for the Southern harriers, and will close activities in this sport for Hilltop students until next spring, when it takes on more realistic aspect, because of the larger number of candidates coming out the field and track events.
