FAST BACKFIELD
 TECH OUTLOOK Golden Tornado Seeks Speed In Offensive
 In Practice

ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 17.-Wycoff, Nonamacher, Bob Reeves, Wilton that's the backfield combination that smashed through two opposing teams for sensational gains in the slithery mud of Grant field in the, opening of the third week of practice for the Golden Tornado of 1924.
 That cobination may be the one Georgia Tech will depend on for its hardest games on this falls schedule, The work it did yesterday after two weeks of practice was the best this year at Tech.
 Twice Doug Wycoff, playing full back, smashed through the opposing line and once he got away for 75- yard run. Reeves, at half, pushed through for half dozen gains of from 20 to 30 yards.
 Changes In Line
 Changes that may indicate the forma- tion of Techs lint this fall also were evident yesterday in practice. Gus Merkle, one of the greatest tackles ever to wear Tech uniform, was at end yesterday on the offensive line in front of Wycoff, Nonamacher. Wilton and Reeves. Joe Usry officiated in Mer- kle's tackle position.
 George Gardner, captain of this years Tornado, was in the line at right tackle, instead of the end position, wbere he played last year. Johnny Marshall was the other end. At the guard positions were Little Six Car penter and Walt Goodwin.
 Owen Poole was at center for the first offensive team that took the field, but while he showed well, he was not as steady as Johnny Glenn, who was snapping the ball on the second offensive team that later took the field.
 Use Line Plays
 Line plays constituted the greater part of the practice yesterday, with passing running second in frequency; The first offensive team was brilliant in its passing, with ends handling the slippery pigskin well on receiving.
 The second offensive team to go into action had a backfield composed of Irwin, quarter; Frank Harris and HOl land, halves, and Carter Barron, full back. This squad worked longer than the first because of a noticeable lack of familiarity with signals. Plays were run over and over again under the eyes of Coaches Alexander and Hanson however, until the squad got them down.

view that Wimborne is to blame for the British defeat.
 ':He has been the dictator of British polo for the last year and a half," Wodehouse says. ''Never having been an international, or even a first-class player himself, he was not able to pick the right type of players for the inter national contests"
 Lord Wodehouse said that Lord Wimborne took to America only one player of international class, namely, Luis Lacey, and left five of England's g best players at home.

PANTHER SQUAD
 DRILLSDEFENSE
Coach Drew Gives Candi. dates Pointers On
 Smashing Up Plays

Munger Bowl, with tender green tufts of grass scattered over it's sur face, felt the unaccustomed thud 0. falling bodies Wednesday afternoon as the Birmingham-Southern Varsity squad went through its daily practice session under the driving of Coaches Drew and Runser.
 The squad Wednesday was put through stiff defensive drill, playing against Auburn's line shift and break. ing up forward passes. For the past two days Coach Drew has changed his tactics to include much of defensive rralning and the squads were working prettily in unison on shifts.
 After the drilling on defensive work three squads were put to running signals. The team is rounding into shape faster now as the players get better acquainted with the Drew sys- tenn. The style of football being taught them is largely new to Birmingham Southern and the new mentor is work ing from the ground floor up in build ing his team. He has been stressing fundermentals during the first two weeks of practice but is now ready to give his squad more advanced work.
 Team GeperalIy Strong
 The strength of the team seems to be pretty regular throughout with a slight thlnness in one or two places, The search for new end or the devel- oplng ot one, is still in progress while Coach Drew is trying to line up one more man for the pivot position. With Rip Rawls and "Cy" Echols as the only candidates out the Panther mentor is making Charles Ashwander. tackle CT last year, over into a center. Ash. wander has the size and should be hle to pick up the art of the playing the pivot position with little trouble. At ends Price Howell, Sid Malloy. Shorty Elliott, Jimmie Shelton, Joe hlteslde and one or two others are trying out. Howell played end in sey. cral games last year and he starred. Malloy IS fast and heav and gets down the field well. These two men are the leading candidates for the posi. tions.
 Must Box Tackle
 Tn thls connection Coach Drew nut forth a few qualifications as to what an to what an end should do and Ehdt ne should not do on his eleven. In the first place a man cannot make his team unless he can box the tackle. Coach Drew stated, so the candidates are being put through work which should get them degree in tackle boxing.
 In all other positions as time goos by and practices become more severe the Panthers seem to stand up well The tackles and guards are well taken care of while there are many stars out for the backfield.
 To Use Freshman
 Coch Drew will also bolster his leam with reserve strength drawn from the Freshmen squad in several games he stated Wednesday afternoon. The \. l. A. A. ruling which allows n team to play Freshmen with the opponents consent will be used to put Freshman into several of the games and with n wealth of fine prospects on the Rat squad this will decidedly strengthen the varsity eleven. The Rats and Var slty will likely play a practice game Friday afternoon, Coach Drew stated At present he wants to drill his squad a little more thoroughly on defensive play.

 he spoke again. They were iE. a secluded corner and nobody paid any attention to them. People were en gagged in confidential conversation a; other tables. Evidently this was 1 place where one might finger and talk as long as one wished. The walters did not stand about in ill-concealed im- patience for the patrons departure. +'
 As if reading her thought Parker broke his silence.
 II suggested coming here today be-i cause it is one of the few restaurants where one may spend hours if one likes. And 1 wanted to discuss undry matters. In the first place, where are you eating your Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow?"
 Nowhere she said quickly. She wished he had not asked that.
 II am the bearer of an invitation to you from my cousin, Mrs. Crosby, with whom I usually dine on feast days" he explained. II mentioned you to her and she wished me to urge you to come to dinner there tomorrow night.2y
 The hot blood rushed to Marian's cheeks. Thank youw she stammered. but I-I-while l am grateful, I really cannot come"
 My cousin will, of course, write you a note this evening, and send it by messenger to you," the man said gravely. But I am mentioning it be- forehand so you will understand" :
 Tt is very good of you" Marian tried to speak naturally. "I appreciate Mrs. Crosby's kind thought of me. Yet I cannot impose upon her goodness" v
 "Impose!" her companion echoed. Ut would be no imposition. I have told her of your coming down here and she would like to know you"
 Yes, Marian thought swiftly, he had told her that a poor lonely girl was in Ne wYork seeking a job, and Mrs. in New York seeking a job, and Mrs. let her come to Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, Marian knew how it was donei She and her father had taken pity on strangers in Fairtown in the same way. And sometimes it had been a bore-al- though hospitable duty.

Home Nursing
Bed Comfort
Dbu CDMlIOFG FNHE tall boy in the big bedroom at T

NHE tall boy in the big bedroom at
 the front of the big white house
 made an impatient gesture and thrust his feet through the rails of the big white bed.
 The sheets were too short, he was too long to be comfortable in bed and he was tired of saying, peevishly, Cant you fix his darn top sheet so it will stay over my feet? In the hospital my feet were not sticking through the foot of the bed half the time."
 'In the hospital they have the proper in bed," his sister joined out, trifle grossly. She was tired of being told how comfortable Roy had been in the hospital. She was not used to having her sleep broken, and every night for q week she had been called to help her mother turn Roy in bed, or arrange his pillows, or bring him cool drink.
 Both she and her mother were on the verge of mysteries.
 Roy, with a plaster cast on one leg and some cracked ribs mending, was in peculiarly unhappy state of mind.
 He had never been i'll in his sixteen years and he had started the summer by crashing from the bOathouse roof and cruelty injuring himself.
 Time in the hospital had hung heav- fly. He had been wearied by the eter- nal system of the place and worried by the silence and whiteness and peaceful calm. He had thought he wanted to go home, and he had leased the doctor into allowing him to do it. Now, after restless, uncomfortable week at home, with the prospect of another month in bed, or at least playing the role of invalid. Roy wished he were back in the hospital, because the nurses knew how to make him comfortable.
 When he slumped down in bed and ached all over they would come and raise him gently and without effort on pillows that were placed just right and fitted into the aching crooks and cram nies of his back. They left cold water beside his bed where he could reach it, instead of on the window-sill-Out of reach.
 They knew just how to?,do things. That was the explanation of hospital comfort, of course.
 But there were many things that might have been done at home to make Roy feel more comfortable in bed.
 He had a cast on his leg and the slightest depression of the springs or mattress caused him intense pain. This might have been remedied by placing two extension table boards across the bed, between the springs and the mat tress, to make stationary support for the painful limb.
 A patient is generally more com fortable raised fairly high on pillows. Two people can accomplish this with ease by standing on opposite sides of the bed and lifting the patient gently and simultaneously. Never try to drag patient up when standing on one side of the bed.
 When sheets are too short they may be heightened by stitching a width of cotton across the end. It can be re- moved when its usefulness is over.
 A pillow placed underneath the knees rests a patient unbelievably, be- cause it relieves the tension of abdomi- l nal muscles and supports the knees. Even if one leg is in a cast, the other one may be rested this wayi

Do You Consider Marriage As
 Refuge2

A YOUNG woman asks me to write "A about the "crime" of girls taking
 to marriage as a refuge. She tells how various friends of hers have mar ried just to get away from work in the office, factory and department store and have not found the new life as they had expected.
 Some of them have gone back to work, while others are tied down to children and drudgery," When any young woman marries as a means to bettering her material e 'stence-in common parlance meal tieket"-that girl gets just that and no more.
 She is the clinging vine who usually finds that her sturdy oak husband has sought cooperation and that he has not only expected to marry a playmate but a helpmate. She has gone on the theory that she has given up work and has to be supported.
 What she really finds is that she has to work in different way-perhaps way that is not very much to hel liking. Many young women who spend most of their time in the business world are not much given to that of house keeping.
 And the refuge that they have looked forward to becomes a place of restraint restraint Cf going it alone, as they have been accustomed to-and then as general thing this kind of marriage ends up in the Domestic Relations Court and the woman goes back tc work ts-s
 Both are disappointed. There is only one reason for anybody marrying ir the twentieth century, and that is fol love. And don't marry for love unless you are fairly sure it is the real thing
 You have only to look around you to see the importance of this. If noth. ing more, if people are poor they have fighting chance to go through life to- gether.
 If people marry for any other req. son than love they have a chance fol fighting, and they usually do. Much better to remain in your job, feel the pleasure of your own latchkey and nc one to say you nay when you want tC do anything or go anywhere. You have no one to lean on but yourself and therefore you have full opportuni ty to please yourself.
 In this day and age it is never toe late to marry. As I have said before the term, "old maid" has lost its sting There is no such thing. It is much better to be self-respecting, making youl own way and having peace than to give up all your freedom just for the sake of getting someone to provide for you
 Any woman who marries for this prime purpose has the wrong attitude anyway. She is an unequal partner and demanding too much. On the other hand, she who has some consideration and love for the man she marries will rather regret that she is giving hin the burden of herself and want to hell to alleviate it in order to help him.
 When girl takes to marriage as , means of getting away from work b, putting it on someone else she is no made of the right stuff for marriag and proves it; but she pays, pays, pays In plain language, she gets what ii coming to her-trials and tribulations
 Marry for love. Even if you hay, to work there is something to whicl to cling. Any meal ticket" get, worn out because it is material. Loy, is spiritual and will bear anything il it is real.
