DUVAL TO OPEN
 SATURDAY WEEK

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.s Sept. 25.- A week from Saturday the Duval High school football eleven win line up on the Fairfield park gridiron against the Quincy High team for the initial grid conflict of the season. There is much work to be done in the remaining two weeks oe preparation, despite the fact that Quincy is not expected to make the Tigers extend themselves to their limit
 The Tigers pigskin is steadily improv' ing and should present a smooth. hard working machine in the opening game of the season. True. several of the most promising players have received injuries but there is such wealth of reserve ma. terial that this win not materially hurt It is much better than the jinx appear for the easy games than for the hard ones after the season has become more advance.
 Syeral Changes
 Several changes have been made in what appears to be the lineup which will likely start against Quincy. Louie Bono, who easily had the call at the fullback position, , hurt his leg last week. Captain Joe Bryan, experienced tackle of three |. campaigns, has been brought back, as .at member of, the hack field, running from the fullbaek berth Jim Lasseter and Lomax, McGewans gre daily showing proficiency at the halves although they are getting stiff .compe- tition. Johnnie Donahoo., Jack Hyde and Frank PeEritt are the chief candi- dates for the quarter back berth. al though there is rumor afloat that Willie Mehrteus may get back in har- ness. Mehrtens was the regular field general last season.
 The guards are waging a beautiful fight, Newman, Mccormack, Tom Jones and others competing valiantly for the two center supports.
 HOuser At Center .r
 Mike Houser is caring for all opposi. tion which has scome out for the pivot position and gives every indication of having the ,best season of his gridiron career. g. PVs
 Right now Ed Berry and Lucky kowenstein are playing the end posi- tions good deal of the time. It is hard to see how these classy performers can be improved upon.
 A youngster named Nolan has cap- tured the attention of those who viewed

S1 and Ouimet S2 Ouimet was one up at the afternoon turn and then won three holes in succession, two of them because Guilford took three puts. Not even a close friend can spot Ouimet four holes with six left to play, and Francis regretfully took the hand of Jess on the 32rd green after two par fours. Weakness with a butter was. Cum mings' undoing. His drives were as long as the ehmapioh's,, and> his ap- breaches were in lines with Marston's, s, but with equal regularity he missed butts for wins or halves. Five down at the ninth the Chicago boy shot par golf for seven of the nine holes, going to lunch 3 down.
 The breaks in the afternoon fell to Marston. His second on the twentieth hole sliced out of bounds but hit a tree and returned to the fairway. Then he got thirty. putt for a birdie. A hook to trouble on the short Fist lost him the hole but he won the next when Cummings took three butts. Cummins captured the twenty-fourth hole with a birdie and the 25th with par 4, when the champion mussed up five strokes in succession. Marston made it 3 up again with birdie on the, twenty-sixth.
 They halved three holes, with Cum mings fighting hard Pitching to with in a foot of the pin on the 415-yard thirtieth for another birdie, he become two down and lost the next when bunkered. F 1s
 Over the thirty-second green with his pitch, he holed 40 foot chip shot for a birdie and the hole. The next two were halyed.
 Each took two shots to get on the short Both. Failing to sink long putt, Cummings conceded the hole and the match Later Marston decided that he could not have sunk the hole he re- corded as halves, making the score 2 and 1.
 Won Elm Wins
 George Won Elm, who has become one of the favorites of the gallery be- cause of his good medal scores, did not do quite so we'll today, but did not need to. By shooting 76 in the morning, only one stroke worse than the best medal of the day, made by Marston and Jones, the westerner had Eddie Driggs six down when they went to lunch. Driggs was wild from the tee and through the green. He turned himself in the afternoon and by aSsuc- cession of par fours cut Von Elm's lead to four holes at the turn. Then Won Elm proceeded to win three holes in row, mostly with his butter, for the match. e l.. The cards

TIGERS ENTRAN : <. FOR GAME HERE
Twenty-Two Men Make
 Up Invading Auburn x Squad

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. 25.-(Spe- cial. .)-Coach Boozer Pitts and his Au- burn Tiger football team will leave Au- burn at noon today for Birmingham where they will meet the Birmingham Southern Panthers Saturday afternoon in the first game of the season for both teams. The trip is being made via Montgomery and the Tiger grid party will reach the Magic City early Friday evening.
 Twenty-two members of the varsity squad will make up the combatant forces. Along with jthe party which Twill be under the active charge of Student Manager s"Jack" Jackson will be Coaches Hutsell, Bunker and Cole. With reduced rates prevailing over the weekend quite a contingent of student Central of Georgia railway over the rooters are expected on the sidelines when the Tiger starts the 24th season at Munger bowl. The personnel of the squad to make the Birmingham trip consists of Cap tain Lawrence. and Robinson, centers, Brice, McFadden, Johnson and McCul- ley: guards, Grisham, Harkins, Sitz 1; English and Huckabe; tackles, Pruett L. Spinks and Marget ends, Crane and Peterson quarters, Harrison, Williams and Greene halves, Turner, Salter and Reese, full backs. Most of the final practice period Thursday afternoon was done indoors on account of a down pour of rain that lasted practically through out the practice period. Following the final workout the whole squad were issued new numbers jerseys for the Panther setto Saturday.
 Line-Up Doubtful
 While it could not be learned defini- tely the eleven men that will start with the whistle that opens the 1924 hostili- ties in Birmingham Saturday, Coach Boozer Pitts, indicated that the lineup that would be first to face the Panther eleven would be: Lawrence, center, Self, McFadden or Johnson, guards, Grisham and Sitz or McFadden, tackles, Pruitt and Spinks or Market, ends, Peterson or Crane, quarter, Green, Will Hams and Harrison, halves, Slater or Turner fullback. In addition to these several others perhaps will be handy for relief work after the game gets underway.
 Reports from the Panther campus are all of one nature. They seem to indicate that the Southerners have e!best team in their history and are in determined mood to reverse the decisions of the Tiger-Panther games of many years standing and take little bunch of Tiger pelts in the coming conflict. While the Panther games in past years have not caused any considerable concern on the part of the Tiger coaches it has been noted that a little more prepra- tion has been looked after prior to the '24 game. .

DAVID BROWN
 Veteran. tournament player, former Brit fsh open champion. Noted especially for his short game and accuracy on approaches.
 Naturally. practice Is probably the chief factor In getting accuracy, but there Is a little device which the average golfer can use which ought to save him from two to five butts during a round of golf. Take your putter-supposing it to be the cieek type and file two little parallel lines on the top of 1t as shown in the H. iustration. Paint the inside of the ridges white so they will show up little bet ter. This tafllows the eye to line up the ball in making the putt. Instead of keep "trickS butter. keep the eve on the parallel lines of the butter and see that the ball strikes just as shown in the illustration.

THE IDEAL NEwspAPER-The first conclu-


sion at which arrives in the consideration OF
the ideal newspaper is that there is no such AMI
NAL.
No newspaper can be ideal when 1t features the
salacious scandal, the risque the immoral in our
imperfect life. The portrayal OF crime IN detail,
the obsequious Difference to beauty in the convict
the labored effect to bring out intimate facts that
have no bearing on the crime-none OF these are
ideal and they contribute to that certain psycho-
cgy which leads to moral delinquency and crime.
The country newspaper is sngularly free from
this morbid and unworthy attitude. 1t is, on the
whole admirably clean. 1t rarely invades the prl-
vacy of the individual the sanctlty OF the
home The metropolitan press is growing more
and more away from those high ideals OF newspa-
pering handed down as legacies from the dis
tinguished gentleman of old-school journalism.
That the people are growing restless under this
unremitting breach of ordinary decencies affected
by metropolitan journalism is evident by the
lack of confidence in its leadership and dlsre-
gard for its teachings. 1t has become common
saying that the support of certain newspapers IS
70 longer asset but a liability, and that the
defeat of candidate is rendered almost GER
tanty when certain metropolitan papers that we
Ill know espouse his cause. Sometimes the coun-
try press has been known to save candidate
from defeat when aboring under the handicap of
metropolitan support. Tho the emouments OF
country editors are so meager as to be almost
negligible it is far better than to share in spols
Of metropolitan journalism and write under die
tation insult the prophecies, and in general defy
the ordinary amenities of life, by featuring those
things that contribute nothing to the uphft or
tetterment of the human race. Better thousand
times country editor with ideals, lifting his
community by sheer force of character to bet
ter life, higher moral plane richer experience,
than to exploit divorces, revel in crime details,
color news with propaganda. and in general as
sault those ideals of journalism that make bet
ter individual life and more harmonious COM
,nunity.
