CADETS RETURN SIX LETTER MEN
Marion Opens Season Against Howard Bull-
 dogs Here

MARION, Ala, August 30.-Coach Creel, assisted by Captain Morris of Gonaza university, will open the season at Marion with many of last years lineup returning for an even more sucA cessful year than that of last season.
 The following cadets of last years varsity are returning eager to represent the clean athletic spirit of Old M. l.
 Edward Lee Gilbert, Electric Mills, Miss, captain of last years team.
 Evan Lonnie Gilbert, Electric Mills, Miss, left end of last years team.
 Bedford Adams, Maridian, Miss, captain for the coming season.
 Arthur Wilson, Andalusia, Ala, guard of last season.
 Adolph DeLopaz, Meridian, Miss, tackle of last season.
 Charles Vickery, Panama City, Fla, right end of last season.
 In addition to the returning varsity there are many of last years reserves who will contribute much to the foot ball efficiency in the battles of the year. Among new cadets enrolled for the coming session, many have taken very prominent parts in athletics in the various institutions from which they come. With this combination of re- serves and new material prospects for an excellent season are indeed good. These additions will enhance the pres tige and fighting spirit characteristic of the Marion institute eleven.
 During the season the Marion insti- tute team will meet opponents in Ala bama, Georgia, Mississippi and perhaps other states. The schedule completed to date is:
 Howard college at Birmingham, Sep tember 20.
 Spring Hill at Mobile, October 4.
 Alabama freshmen at Tuscaloosa, Oc- tober IT.
 Troy Normal at Marion, October 31.
 Jacksonville State normal at TaIla- dega, November 2.
 Mississippi State Teachers college at Hattiesburg, November 9.
 Among other games pending for the season are Auburn freshmen at Marion, November 15. Games are being sched- uled with other institutions covering dates open.

AUBURN EXPANDING
 ITS ATHLETIC FIELD
Grant Field Being Enlarged To Nearly Double
 Size Of Present Grounds Plans Big Year

AUBURN, Ala, August 28.-( Spe- ciaL )--Auburn's new athletic field will be ready for the colning of the freshman athletes when the i924-'25 collegiate season opens in September, according to announcement made by President Spright Dowell, who has been pushing the new field through to completion for the initial practice in September.
 The additional playing field which will consist of two football fields and one, with provisions for two baseball diamonds, will greatly relieve the con gested condition in. athletic training that has existed on the Plains for many years. For some time, it has been felt by the athletic officials and the college administration, that not only crack varsity outfits be trained at Au- burn, but in addition, ample provisions should be made for large numbers, which for some of the various and sundry req sons had not proved varsity timber, to receive physical training by actual par ticipation in the regular athletic maneu- vers, Another necessity of enlargement of the system, to reach larger numbers is the training for athletic coaches to sapply the urgent needs of the various high schools and preparatory institu- tions through the state and country.
 DowelI Enthusiastic.
 Commenting on the athletic situation at Auburn recently, President Dowell, in enthusiastic language, says:
 The new playing fields, which are m extension of Drake field, more than double the present facilities for foot ball and baseball at Auburn and are in line with various other improvements now in progress at the college. The significance of this expansion in our playing fields is far greater than will appear at a casual glance. The trend in the most progressive American institu- tions of higher learning is to demo- cratize--that is, to provide recreational facilities for the great mass of students in the belief that activities which par take of the nature of play are more spontaneous and, therefore, more bene- ficial than mere routine physical train ing. This policy, it is confidently be- heyed, will insure:
 1. Ear wider participation on the part of students
 2 Amore intelligent attitude toward athletics on the part of the entire stu dent body.
 g. The discovery of much high-class team material which hitherto has been overlooked.
 4. 4 high quality of excellency in each of the major sports.
 5. A suitable opportunity. for more fully utilizing the leadership of our splendid coaching staff.
 Uph0lds Clean Sports.
 Auburn has always stood for clean athletics and good sportsmahship. It proposes to continue on the same high plane its policy of uniform excellency of achievement among the leading insti- utions of the south and at the same time to bring healthful recreational

Football Called
 Roper Buck From
 Practice Of LaIO

A practicing lawyer in Philadel- "A phia, Bill Roper isn't happy
 unlesshe is engaged part of the time incoaching a football team.
 Roper got his gFidiron training first at Penn Charter and then at Princeton, where he played end for the Tigers from 1899 to 1901, in elusive. Princeton sought him for head coach in 1906 and he served three years. In1009 he transferred his activities to the University of Missouri, but the next year he re- turned to Princeton. He stayed until 1911. After that there was was hiatus during which he de- developed his law practice. Then, in 1919, the Orange and Black de- cided he was the man needed to put fighting spirit into the eleven and he returned to his alma mater. He has been there ever since.
 Roper is square shouldered and square jawed. He is brisk in man. ner, quick thinking and nicisive. A team particularly to his liking was that of 1922, which, lacking stars, had the energy, the wit and the de- termination to beat more formidable opponents, win all its games--in- cluding the one described here-and earn the well merited mythical championship of the east.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-31

of the fourth period German had cap tured Chicago punt on his own 21- yard line and started to run it back when a penalty was inflicted which put the ball on Princeton's one-yard line. It was the seVerest penalty of the game.
 You can imagine our fellows as they prepared for the next play. Under the circumstances the manner of it seemed predestined. A punt from be- hind the goal line this was the move which everyone expected. And there was no great hope in that. Only a perfect kick could serve and even with that Chicago might run the ball into q position where it could try for a goal from field, or start another drive over reduced distance. Then, too, there was always the possibility of a blocked ball.
 In every crisis of the 1922 season a Moses appeared from the ranks of the team to lead his comrades out of the wilderness. Regarded at the start of the season as inferior to it's historic rivals it somehow Overcame its admitted shortcomings by qualities which it is not easy to define. It had the knack of rising to the occasion. Ten men might not think of thing that needed to be done but the eleventh would think of 1t. It was a braipy and courageous team and a team with unanimity of spirit. At the right time it always was granted the inspiration it wanted and it rose above itself in answer to the call. In this crisis, with the Maroon waiting menacihgly for it's attack, it did not lack either the man or the inspiration the situation demanded.
 Back in the autumn of 1919 the fresh man squad had included young fellow of unimpressive physique who had at- tfacted but little attention from the coaches. Opinion was unanimous that he was not prospect for the future.
 But He Just Wouldn't Give Up
 In a magazine story or a book this young man inevitably would have been a poor boy working his way to the top against stupendous odds. In real life he was the son of a rich man, accustomed to all the advantages that wealth affords.
 Nevertheless, like the heroes of fife ton, he owned q Spartan spirit; also, he had his odds to overcome. He wanted with all his heart to win a place on the varsity team-and he couldn't even attract the attention of the assistant coaches under whose supervision he came.
 But it wasn't in the makeup of How ard Gray to despair. Despite the fact that he couldn't seem to step out of the distant background of the football picture at Princeton he kept right on trying.
 Then, quite suddenly at the start of the 1922 season, the big break came for him. The assistants brought me word that in Gray we had the material for a varsity end. Transferred from the second team, he soon demonstrated his worth. Three years of ceaseless work, during which he had assimilated every yestige of football lore supplied to more

activities within the reach of it's entire |>student body. This is in line with ideals of the college administration and of our coaching staff who are enthus- iastic about the new facilities which are being provided as well as those in contemplation"
 For many years, Mike Donehoo was head coach, director and trainer for all the various phases of Auburn ath- letics, including football, baseball, bas- ketball and track. In later years ath- letics has grown to be a college depart ment within itself, in which is includ- ed, the regular catalogued physical training courses an dthe actual partici- patton in athletic contests which serves as the laboratory feature in connection with the theoretical phases given by the respective coaches in charge. In keeping with the intra-muraI or mass system the new field has been con structed to provide facilities for carry ing into effect the enlarged system and additional coaches have been hdded to make up a very strong coaching staff to carry out effectively the new poli- cies.
 One Hundred Freshies Out.
 For the past few years more than a hundred freshmen, who were stars from various high schools and preparatory institutions throughout the south have reported for the freshman teams but no adequate space on the campus was available for the use of the freshman coaches for the various freshie aggrega- tions.
 It is thought that the new four-acre field, now practically complete, will be used in the fall almost exclusively by the freshman. During the winter months it can be turned over to company and other organization tean;s, while in the spring it can be used again in taking care of the several squads that report for the spring workouts preparatory to application for varsity berths.
 Equal advantage will be reaped in the baseball season as the clamor for participants in the national pastime is almost as great as in the fall when foot ball claims the limelight. In addition to the football and baseball features contained in the new field, adequate space for a number of tennis courts have been provided for in laying out plans on this particular section of the campus.
 Much New Equipment.
 In addition to the new field the coaches have placed orders for ade- quate equipment to care for all new corners who have a hankering to "get in" line for any of the athletic teams or take part in the daily workouts. An attractive schedule has been ore. pared for the freshman teams the same as for the varsity outfits, and 1t is ex- pected that, judging from the large mum. Der of applicants, for entry to college this fall, received at the registrar's of- flee, that Auburn will again have 4 crack freshman football, team, as well as in baseball and other athletic teams.

OLE MISS WILL
 START MONDAY 
Red And Blue Gridders Take Field Under
 Coach Barnard

UNIVERSITY, Miss, August 30.- tSpecial,) ,)-The lower athletic field at the University of Mississippi will be alive once Ole Miss clan of 1924 takes the field for practice Monday. The thudding of the pigskin will resound again after on absence of almost nine months.
 The campus took on new life today as the vanguard of the student body arrived for the session Several play CTS were here this morning and others were scheduled to arrive. on trains throughout the day. Forty candidates will report for the early season work and most of these were expected to be ready for the first kieloff in the morning.
 SmlthsOn Arrives
 Capt. Claude Smithson and General William Hemingway, faculty chairman of athletics, arrived at the university Friday after an auto trip from Jack son. Smithson was taking a leading part in making preparations for the advent of the gridders.
 Coach Chester Barnard has been busy these past days getting the field in shape for his squad. Preliminary work has, been done on the field and it is ready for the early practice. Athlet- ic Director Sullivan has been busy aiding the new mentor and getting the football togs ready for the Red and Blue players.
 20 Start Immediately
 1t will very probably take day or so to get all things going good, but Coach Barnard expects to have his men on the field immediately The new di- rector plans to. lose no time. Realizing that he must learn, his men and that the Ole Miss team must be developed in order to have a great eleven. Bar nard plans to make the most of the two weeks before the host of students re- turn for the fali term.
 The team that d0ns the pigsIkin tOgs Monday will be practically the same squad that turned in it's equipment at the close of the '23 season. Headed by Capt. Claude Smithson there will be seven gridders who are working for their fourth letter in the great college sport. The men who have already won thrice in their chase for the coveted ".M' are: Shed Davis, tackle; Buster Keeton, guard; Sollie Grain, tackle; wayne SmlLn, centefs boone Akins fullback, and Frank Leftwich, end. Ex- Captain Montgomery, quarter, and John A. Stoyall, guard, are the only letter men of 1923 who will be absent from the lineup this season.
 Veterans Return
 Players who earned their first 'M" last year and who will return this year Sallom, guard; Totten and J. E. Davis, end; Perkins, guard Wood ward, Muslin and Hoff, halves; 0. R. Smith, guard Allen, fullback.

 The problem for Barnard is how, to use his first year material in build ing up the varsity. Win he sacrifice weight for experience in the line or will be risk experience against heavier lines? Many ardent followers are watch ing with interest as the new mentor assumes the job as pilot of the Ole Miss eleyen for the coming season.
