When the Auburn Tigers come to Birmingham to open their season and to dedicate Birmingham-Souther col lege's fine new stadium on Munger Bowl, they will bring along a constel- lation of stars anu veterans such as no southern team can boast off With seventeen letter men back the Plains men will have a wealth Of varsity can didates which is unparalleled in Dixie. One Birmingham boy, product of Cen tral High school, now Phillips, will be among the regulars. Feenie Crane. former star quarterback at Central, will win a regular berth this season, if pre- season showing goes for much, and he may be seen Tn the picture on the ex- treme left hurling pass to fleeting end. Next to him is sBuckshot" Will Hams, smashing fullback, in char acteristic pose. Williams is a hard hitting line bucker and a valuable Tiger asset. In the center is one of Auburn's brilliant stars and the smile on his face may be witnessed as he sends his men against the opponent, even as it is in the picture. Dean Peterson, stellar performer at quarter, is a great field general and vied with the mighty Gov ington in field generalship in the Au- burn-Centre game last year. An all Southern man is over the ball fixing 10 pass. He is Captain Fats" Lawrence, one of the hest linesmen Auburn has turned out in years. He is expected to have q great season with the Tigers. At the top. right, is Swede Sitz, another lineman who is expected to make the Auburn forward wall staunch and steady defense.

by the Tigers that did not appear on the 1923 campaign card. These include, Vanderbilt University, the Virginia Poly Institute and Louisiana State Uni yersity.

TIGERS FACE
 HARD GRID SCHEDULE
Plainsmen To Open Season In Birmingham
 Against Panthers At Stadium Dedication

AUBURN, Ala, Sept. 13.-(Special.) ) fall calendar, seven of which will neces- sitate maximum preparation, the Au- burn Tigers probably face the hardest schedule in their history.
 The Tigers, however, are booked for no intersectional games but judging from the layout of the autumn docket, plenty of opposition has been found within reasonable proximity of the Tiger fold. A few years back the game sched- uled with the Virginia Polytechnic In- stitIte, might have been termed, in a measure, one of intersectional caliber, but with the formation of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference, which in- cludes the Virginia institution, the game will be strictly sectional as all games preparing of seasons card.
 Panthers Open Season.
 For many years the Plainsmen pro- gram-makers have booked preseason game for the last Saturday in Septem- Der. The first game this year is a September game which has been ar ranged with the Birmingham-Southern Panthers to be played in Birmingham on September 27th-two weeks off. The initial clash will be the main event of big celebration staged in the Meth odist suburb, which will be staged, to christen Mungel Bowl, the new playing field on the Panthers. The game has been widely advertised and it is ex- pected that the event will be widely at tended.
 The following Saturday the Tigers remain on the campus, to be hosts to tbe Clemson Tigers, who are stalking their all to carry back a victory to their mountainous lair. The game is an annual affair and was played at Clemson last year and resulted in a 0 to 0 deadlock. The game this year will be played during the Auburn Homecoming" and hosts of old Auburn men are expected to throng the village to see their favorite Tiger in action.
 While it is known that the Clemson coaches will bring a good team to the Auburn campus, and if the Tigers gets by this point unscathed nothing but an uncharted sea of obstacles looms up in his pathway. The following Saturday comes the Virginia Poly game in Rich Inond, then back home for game with the Howard Bulldogs at Auburn on Oc- tober 18th. Following the Howard game five hard ones with the leading teams of the Conference appear on the Tiger menu. Three teams will be met

work of last season, which was excep- tionally good.
 Turner Looks Good.
 There is another man who is looming up this year as a brilliant broken field runner and a pigskin carrier of merit. This youngster is midget by the name of Turner. Babe is his gridiron cog nomen. Turner, who played on the scrubs last season, has been showing some real stuff as a broken field run ner and a tackler Though he will not weigh over 40 pounds, this candidate is going to have sit in when the var sity team is being figured.
 Among the other backfield men who have been showing up in great form are Eddie Lewis. Greek Griffin and Eddie Pace. Lewis, punter of much ability, is as we'll a good halfback with equal efficiency in smashing a line or running the ball down through a field of tacklers. Griffin, star for two years on the Panther elevens, is get ting back into shape after year of absence and is being used at quarter this year. Griffin shows promise of making star quarterback for the Gold and Black machine though it is new position for him. Pace. who is trying out for his first letter on the eleven from Sunshine Slopes, is look ing good as a punter and ball toter.
 Much Backfield Material.
 There is a wealth of material for the backfield and in addition to the men mentioned there are a number of other candidates who are doing excellent work in striving for berth on the team.
 The line under Coach Runser has had a hard weeks work. The forward wall has been given the toughest sort of work for it contains several men who are overweight and the menu is figured to bring them down to playing weight.
 The center of the line presents a galaxy of stars such as has never been seen before on Hilltop. At the pivot position there is Rip" Rawls. a let ter man from last year. with Cy Echols, a scrub. in the running. while for guards and tackles are Turner Scott. Douglas Pritchett. Ham" Weeks, Cooper Green. Charlie Ash wander, Big Un" Ethridge, "Grits'' Rice. Bishop" Calhoun. and Captain Red" Farr The first five named are letter men, while Captain Farr is also wearer of the "B." The other men played in some games last year and are in line for berths this season. Many Ends.
 At ends there will likely be found Price Howell, a letter man, and Sid Mallory, Joe Whiteside, Shorty Elliott or Jimmy Shelton. Howell made his letter playing tackle and end last year and looks good for a flank position this season. The other four men are showing much promise and so far the position is toss-up between the lot, with few more candidates likely among those in the reckoning.
 The squad has been running plays and signals and is getting q stiff drill ing daily in the style of football which Coach Drew will inaugurate on Sun shine Slopes. The men should be in after taking the prescriptions of the excellen: shape by the opening game Panther coaches for nearly month.

FRESHMEN DEFEAT

Bancroft Stars As Bulldog Gridders Stage First
 Big Scrimmage Of Year

looks like he'll make 'em forget Bo Brindley in his palmiest days.
 Frosh Look Good
 The brightest feature of this early season struggle for Howard was the brilliant work of the Freshmen clan, which certainly made things look bright for another year at the Baptist institution. The whole Rat eleven showed up in fine style, and about four in particular. Sentell and English, Woodlawn stars of yesteryear, handled the end runs of those varsity Jacks like real veterans and made tackles on ev- cry hand. This boy Wright, big plunging back who halls from Roanoke, made Cope and Gillem smile broadest. He has an awful drive for youngster and it was his blowing tactics which gained several first downs for Freshies in that second half and placed the ball within few yards of the last white stripe. And then Billy Ban croft, who booted the field goal and generated the Rats like he had han dled 'em for years.
 It was Towards second varsity eleven which failed to do their duty Saturday, and brought about the pre- diction that the Bulldogs will be rather weak on reserve strength this fall. The first varsity combination. showed that the Bulldogs will be well represented, although they failed to show much of specific nature Saturday afternoon and, by the way, they were not sup posed to, of course. with only a couple of weeks practice behind then and the heat making you think of midsummer
 Six Good Backs
 Cope has six good backs in Stevens, Mccarthy, Scokel, Casey, Tinkle- paugh and Hyde, at least, but the re- serve strength in the line may be far from plentiful. The seven men who compose the first string forward wall be a powerful crew. especially from tackle to tackle. Spicer, Brooks and Claude Brewster are trio who will certainly have to be watched by How ards opponents this fall.
 The line-ups which started off the Bulldog -Bullpup fracas Saturday aft ernoon are as follows:
 Varsity: Left end, Shepherd left tackle, Spocer; left guard, Brooks; cen ter, C. Brewster; right guard, Stubbs : right tackle, Kelly; right end, J. Lol- lar; quarterback, Stevens < left half, Mccarthy; right half, Scokel; fullback, Casey
 Freshmen Left end. English: left tackle, Smith left guard, Holder; cen ter, Cawthorne; right guard, B. Lol- lar; right tackle, Brown; right end, Sentell; quarterback, Bancroft; left half, Webber; right half, Wright full back, Gibson.

 Keep Lead

Spurred on by Atlanta's drive which seemed to threaten the pennant honors almost within it's grasp, the Memphis team has been cutting some swath on its own account in the Southern League the past week. The latest compilation of averages, including games played September II, shows the Memphis team having moved up in batting until it now runs next to Atlanta in that respect, though there still is margin of some width separating the two teams. Nash vile batters were held so well during the week that the team dropped below both Memphis and Chattanooga in hit ting. Atlanta and Memphis are now the two heavy run getting teams of the league, with Nashville running third.

Bill Bancroft prep star of long standing in the Birmingham district, began his athletic career at Howard college Saturday afternoon in brilliant fashion, when the Bullpups defeated their varsity grown-ups, the Bulldogs, in an abbreviated gridiron struggle, 3 to o. It was Billy Bancroft, who when the Rats had made three futile efforts to cross the goal line toward the last of the fourth quarter, dropped back and booted the field goal for the victory.
 The Howard Frosh showed an ex- ceptionally strong eleven, working in good shape for early season football. The varsity was not so good There were several bright features of the Bull dogs play, but it will be another week before Towards varsity eleven will be functioning with a fair degree of smoothness.
 Howard followers who witnessed the struggle with the Freshmen and who know their favorites very well are not worrying about Saturdays perform ance. The eleven has not begun to strike it's stride, and Coaches Cope and Gillem did not care at all about how the Freshies were handling their charges. They jerked out the first eleven and sent in new squad to battle the Rats in the second half, and it was against this combination that the Bullpups acted so uncomfortable
 Rats on Defense
 The first eleven had the Rats on the defense all the time in the first half, although Captain Ham Stevens and company were unable to successfully puncture their forward wall with any consistency. The Bulldogs threatened once or twice, and Ham attempted a drop-kick as the first half ended, but the Frosh kept them away.
 The varsity used about four plays. Stevens gained ground on sweeping end runs. Mccarthy played through the line for several good advances, while Polly Schokel looked good. Casey, heavy fullback fir the Bulldogs, failed to live up to expectations. He may be a jewel in the rough, in fact, probably is. ac ding to the opinion of real crit ics who have watched him in action, but the big fellow certainly failed to show it Saturday.
 The varsity looked mighty good at times, and showed there are wonderful possibilities in the forward wall when they get to working in proper co-or- dination. Bull Spicer displayed con siderable drive on the offense and did good work in the little defensive play directed against the varsity, and showed he was the big tower of strength of the Howard line foN this fall. along with Claude Brewster, center, who

Cleveland maintained its 300 team average and thus continued to lead the American League in hitting.
