.MOUNTAINEERS
 LOOKING GOOD Aubrey Miller Will Coach At Shades -Cahaba
 High

With Aubrey Miller, Panther foot ball luminary, as coach, and with eight letter men of last years eleven back in harness, the Mountaineers of Shades Cahaba will have a strong gridiron com bination in the field this fall.
 Coach Miller has a football, and in fact general athletic record back of him which stamps his as having thor ough knowledge of his new position, and the Mountaineers are lucky to &C., quire his services. Miller played five years at Birmingham-Southe gaining considerable glory on Panther elevens, and in addition won the Porter loving cup for all-around athletic ability for two years. He is slated to make good as a coach.
 With eight letter men returning, Mill Ter will have good nucleus around which to build his eleven. The eight men are: Ormond Acton, center, cap- tain-elect and a 195-pounder; Wills Davidson, 1S5-pound fullback of two years experience; Acton Hunter, quar- terback with three years experience, and five others who made their first gridiron monograms last year. They are two tackles, Wallace Davidson and John Bumgartner; two guards, Roy Acton and Thompson, and halfback, Tom McRae.
 The Mountaineers' line from tackle to tackle is intact, with three backs returning. Their chief worry will like ly be on the wings, while another back must be developed.
 Shades Cahaba made a good record on the gridiron last fall, eliminating a fairly good season by tieing Jones Val ley, which had made an excellent rec ord at Redwood field.
 Coach Miller started practice at the Mountaineers' camp Thursday after noon, with only portion of his squad starting off the workouts. However, with the opening of school this week, a fairly large squad is expected to be on hand, and the real work of getting ready for their schedule will be started.
 The schedule to be undertaken by Shades-C -Cahaba this season contains sev- eral of the strongest outfits of the dis trict, in addition to playing Anniston high at Anniston. The grid elevens of the district which will tangle with the Mountaineers are Mortimer-J Jordan, Bessemer, Alliance, Simpson, Univer- sity High and, to climax the season, Jones Valley at Redwood fields on Jones Valley at Redwood field on still on the schedule, and another strong team or two may be added to an al. ready tough menu.

FAYETTE LACKS
 VETERAN TEAM

FAYETTE, Ala, Sept 13.-(Spe- cial. al.)-Charles Scott, coach, says that Fayette faces one of the hardest sched- ules of any high school in north Ala bama. There are only four letter men from last year to build around this season and it will be a difficult task to get his eleven men in shape to meet the opposing teams. The new material is light and is green. The entire backfield of last year is lost to the eleven, and it will be necessary to shape a new backfield entirely. Material is very scarce, but he is determined to make a showing with what he has. Bill Branyan, Eli Sims, Charlie Savage. Andrew Wright, Aaron Branyan, K Brown, Jimmie Guyton and Levert Will son will be expected to hold up the reputation of the Fayette Tigers Sul- ligent is slated to open the schedule on the 26th, then comes the Hamilton Az gies, Guin, Hueytown, Vernon, Pickens county, Parish and the Walker County Vikings coming for the annaual Thanks giving game.

AGGIES TO HAVE
 FINE GRID TEAM

ALBERTvILLE, Ala. Sept. 13.- The prospects of great year at AL bertville are exceedingly bright, with forty candidates working out daily un- der the direction of Coaches Keith and Medlock. Medlock,, an addition to the coaching staff at Albertville, is devot- ing his time to the line. He is a prod uct of Aupburn, and his work should be of great help in developing fine team.
 Although three weeks have elapsed since the first practice was held, work on fundamentals is still the order, and will continue to be stressed until the end of the season, according to Head Coach Keith. -.
 The fine team of last year has re- turned almost intact and with the new material available should be better than ever before. The letter men to return are Floyd, Strickland, Barnes, Garrett, Hudgins Ogle, Shirey, Captain Baker, Mathews, and Curry.
 Among the new men are some who seem determined to win a place on the varsity regardless of experience. The w. Garrett, Decker, Portwood, Lang [ Campbell and Hill.
 Albertville showed the strongest of fense in North Alabama last year, SCOT ing two hundred and forty-two points to the opponents forty-two. The same versatile attack is expected to feature their play this year. The eastern style fotoball will predominate.
 Captain Baker, quarterback, will di- rect the team play. He is conceded to be one of the best backs in this sec- tion. He is hard plunger, accurate passer, dependable punter, and can also be relied upon as a drop kicker. He kicks and throws from the left side.
 Garrett and Ogle, ends, will be on the receiving end of most of the passes. Ogle Is young husky, towering six feet four inches, and handles the ball with great dexterity. Garrett, red topped chap, weighing hundred and seventy pounds, is declared by old timers to be the best end ever to don and "Aggie jersey"
 Shirey, a letter man of last year, has not yet been convinced that he is not the logical man for one of the wing positions, and will probably be seen in several games.
 There is a keen competition for all the positions, and no differentiation has been made this early.
 The team faces one of the hardest schedules that has been attempted in many seasons.
 The schedule follows:
 September 26, open.
 October 3, Phillips High, (pending,)
 nnf0hap oho, 01.,klo... Freshmen, Birmingham.
 October IF, Gadsden High, Albert vile.
 October "A, Morgan scholo, Peters burg, Tenn.
 October S1, Scottsboro, Albertville.
 November z, Blountsville, Albertville.
 November If, Cullman High, Gull man.
 November 21, open.
 November 27, Guntersville. Gunters- vile.

 The new men showing up extra well are Birchfield, Wilson, H. Saxon, B. Saxon, Clark, Willingham, Tumalin, and others who are light and inexper- fenced may come into form before the season is well under way.
 Has Good Schedule
 Lineville has an attractive schedule this season, opening with the Bethle- hem Junior college here on September 26. This will be the first game to be played on the new athletic field which was built last year after football sea- son. The new field has been named "McDaniel field" in honor of the prin- cipal of the school, Prof. W. H. Me- Daniel, who was instrumental in put ting the project. The field affords the agricultural school one of the best playgrounds of any school in this sec tion.
 New equipment has been purchased for the team and present indications point to a good season for the Line vile boys.
 The complete schedule to date is as follows:
 September 26, Bethlehem Junior col lege at Lineville.
 October 3, Tallapoosa County High at Dadeville.

scheduled here for Oct. IS, the day of the Alabama-Sewanee game. Phillips will play the Armistice Day game in Jacksonville against Duval while Ensley will encounter Sidney Lanier at Mont gomery. Woodlawn will remain idle but may battle Bessemer on the Satur- day following.
 Ensley Has Much Material.
 The Yellow Jackets have Captain Scott, guard, McG0nagle, Zeigler and Walker, ends, Hardy, center, Red Whorton, tackle, Barnett, guard, and Twitch, Morrison and Jackson, backs, as letter men who are already practic- ing. The list is expected to be swelled Monday with the return of Fayette tackle, and Country Lawry, fullback.
 With this squad as a nucleus the Ensley eleven should be one of the strongest combinations in the state However, Coach White will have to put in many training strokes as he will have to teach his new pupils the en- tirety of his system. This is Coach Whites first year at Ensley, having coached last year at Anniston high.
 Eight COlOnels Back.
 At Woodlawn Coach Hood will have Captain Tom Jones, tackle, Chandler end, Knight, center, James, tackle Burns, fullback, Griffin, halfback, Poe quarter and Allen, guard and center. Allen, however, will not be able to prac- tice at least for month as he injured his head while diving in the swimming pool at Winnetaska and will be unable to get out for the early drilling. It is likely that Clark, another letter man, will also return. In addition to letter men Coach Hood will have Nunnally, halfback. Howard and Cecil Chapel, linemen and Wilson, all promising men from last years squad, back in the fold this year.
 The four letter men who will again get into action at Phillips are Captain Sanford, end, Motion Smith, guard, Gartlett, tackle and Cy Anderson, end. From last years scrubs there will be Jaffe, Guin and Ralph Gravlee, back field men, and Cranford, a lineman, who will return.

CHOCTAWS END
 SECOND WEEK
Cy Parks, Brilliant Quarterback,
 Down At Hard Work

PROVINCE FIELD, CLINTON, Miss, Sept. 13.-(Special. )-The Choc- Jaws of Mississippi College have fin ished the second week of practice. For the past few days they have been drilled and worked very hard, having gone through three genuine workouts For the first five days of two daily practices, Coach Bohler had his men engaging ill physical exercises of differ ent kinds which were preparatory for hard work and football efficiency.
 Practice such as is characteristic of the regular season has really begun. The men are cutting the dummy, and recovering the ball, line scrimmaging, kicking goals, bunting and running up punts, and tackling.
 The spirit of the teammates is such as has never been seen on Provine Field before. Every man out for foot ball is eagerly contending for his place on the squad, and feels confident that his name will be read out by coach for the Tulane trip and battle to be staged in Tulane Stadium on Oct. 4. Cy Parks has begun his work with his comrades, having appeared out for prdctlce since the Monuay morning workout. With "Cy" carrying the pigskin for Mississippi College, confi- dence is everywhere prevalent among the Choctaws for one of the most sue cessful seasons ever looked forward to in the annals of collegiate sports in Mississippi.
 The old list of men was practically completed yesterday when Murphey, utility end of last season, came into camp. Also there came in five new candidates for the freshman squad. They were: Chain, D. B. halfback, and Chain, B. J.; end, both of Mount Olive, Mississippi; Branch, R. M, end, and Branch, A. E., guard? both members of the championship high school team in Mississippi last season i; and Adams from McAdams, Mississippi. Coney, fullback of the Magnolia high school team last season, also came in for practice yesterday.
 The appearance of the seven new men raised the total number of candi- dates now appearing for practice up to more than fifty. It is believed that about so men will report regularly by the beginning of school.

LOTHIAN ALREADY

Hard Schedule Arranged For Williams Charges This Season

LOTHIAN, Ala, Sept. 13.-(Special.) ] Dothan High gridders have been hard at work for the past week. The team will be light but fast. Coach Williams called practice last Monday and has had about forty candidates reporting morn ing and evening. The players reported in the best of condition and have been put through a hard week. T. Brown, Linen, Grant, Carswell, Pilcherr and Owens of last years varsity are lost to the team through graduation and their places will be hard to fill. How ever, more letter men are back this season than last and prospects are bright for a winning team. B. Brown. Byrd, Ivey and Bennett of last years line, Saliba, Captain Lee and Dempsey of last years backfield are all back. Besides the letter men back. Harris. Crawford, Middlebrooks and Doster are new backs of no little ability. A San ders, Rushing, Whiddon, Woodald. Me Quagge, Spann, Cherry, Melton, Smith and Smyth are linemen who should mould into a forward wall that should pc or trouble to any team in southeast Alabama. Dothan has hard schedule tnls season, but expects to turn in more wins than losses. The schedule follows: September 26, Blakely, Ga, at Do- than.
 October 3, Midland City, at Dothan.

|GAMECOCKS GET
 SLOW BEGINNING
McNally, Burt And Gra- bin Show We'll In
 Practice

The University High Gamecocks have been slow getting started, although they have ended their first week of practice. Only small portion of the squad were out for the first weeks workouts, but, for the school already started, the squad is expected to be augmented to large extent Monday afternoon.
 Three letter men have reported for the fall grind to Coaches Reynolds ard Caldwell, with two others expected to start work Monday. Two or three newcomers and last years scrubs have shown fairly well in the workouts, and bid fair to bolster the team.
 Of the three letter men in harness, Vincent Arnold, guard; is not in good shape, while B. c. Mccoy, back; has had trouble getting started. Mike Grabin seems set for another good year on the gridiron, and has been showing flashes of his last years form already in the early sessions.
 Berry McNally has been showing good form as a back n tile early prnc- tices, and looks like a coming football player. Earl Stewart has been rum ming in the backfield, while among the line candidates Bowne looks like good bet for an end position. J. D. Miller, Joe Burt and Cecil Matthews are strong candidates for tackle posi- tions, with the probability that one of the trio at least will play a guard po- sition.
 Strenuous work will take place daily on Avondale field during the coming week, in an attempt to round the squad into the best shape possible by Friday. The Gamecocks and John Thompson's Minor High aggregation will stage a scrimmage session the latter part of the week, making it necessary for them to round into shape fast.
 The first date of the schedule, Sep tember 26, is open at present, with the possibility of several teams filling it, and then Jones Valley, one of the very strongest combinations in the entire district, will be the foes of the Univer- sity High clan, the game being sched- uled for October 2.

PARRISH LOSES
 OPENING GAME

PARRISH, Ala, Sept. 13.-(Spe- cial. )-Parrish High lost the opening game of the football season here to Winfield, score 13-9.
 A bad play on the part of Parrish man gave the visitors a lead in the second quarter when a local player missed a good chance to cover the ball after drop kick by Winfield on the fifteen yard line, Winfield regaining the ball and making for a touch down. The second touchdown was scored in the fourth quarter when a Winfield man intercepted a forward pass exc cuted by a Parrish man.
 Douglas, and G. Jones showed good form at end positions, while G. Barton and C. Bruce and Christian held down the back field well and made some nice end runs.

DALE COUNTY HAS

OZARK, Ala. Sept. 13.-(Special.) With ten players of last years varsity outfit and about 30 new players out every afternoon hard at work, Coach Allison, has bright prospects for a good season at Dale county. Buddy Bowling, Andrews, Parwer and "Shine" Howell, are the backfield men of one or more years experience. Sessions, Adams, H. Bowling, Marley, Stubbs and Morgan are the inesmen who are expected to show up with great strength this fall. Buck Barnes is back this year and will be at tackle in most of the games.

WILL
 COACH MINOR HI

John Thompson, halfback and drop kicker for the Panthers of Birming- ham-Southern, will handle the athletic activities of Minor High school this year, and boom in athletics will likely result with the dimunitice Panther back in charge at the school.
 Thompson has already taken charge, and football practice at Minor started during the past week. A fairly large number of huskies have reported for duty, and things are shaping up well for this new entry in the local football field. Although rather green, Minor has a wealth of material, most of the would-be football stars having consid. erable avoirdupois, and a heavy eleven will likely be put in the field.
