PICKENS GRID
 TEAM STRONG
Only One Man Lost To Coach
 Jackson From '23 Team

REFORM, Ala, Aug. 16.-(Spe- cial. )-When Coach Jackson, athletic director and popular mentor of Pickens county high, sounds the first call for football practice on September 1, around 40 men are expected to report for the initial workout. He will lose only one letter man from the 1923 machine, but there will be plenty of material to fill this vacancy.
 Among the newcomers are Hodge, Mayors, Berry, Wilson and Johnson, forming a Quintette of linesmen worthy of any high school football team, aver aging 190 pounds. This five have had varied experience as foot-ballers and should greatly strengthen the Red and Black Warriors line. Noland, Bing- ham, Smalley and Rogers constitute a quartet of backs in addition to the regular backfield of last year. Three members of this set are three letter men and average 161 pounds. Colley a product of south Alabama, a quarter back of experience, and considered a triple threat man, is expected to wage himself into a regular berth on the backfield list, while there are many others, too numerous to name, will be out trying to land a regular berth.
 The Pickens county high Red and Black Warriors will attack hard schedule this year, the toughest in the history of the local institution. Lamar, Tuscaloosa and Fayette county high schools will meet the Tigers, while the most attractive feature of it being the probability of a trip to Birmingham. Coach Jackson is in touch with several Jefferson county teams in an effort to arrange for a game in the morning pre- ceding the Alabama Centre game in the afternoon.

AMOS TO HELP
 AT WASH-JEFF
Sensational Young Back, Ineli-
 gibIe, Turns To Coaching

WASHINGTON, Pa, Aug. 16.-Bin Amos, sensational freshman fuilback of the Washington and Jefferson col- 'lege team of last fall, will not be eligi- ble for varsity competition next fall, although he will be. in school again and will report on September 2 with the remainder of the presidents for the preliminary training under Head Coach David c. Morrow and Backfield Coach Allie c. Miller.
 Amos is m experienced player, and Morrow plans to use him as an in- structor, particularly in blocking. Bill came to Washington and Jefferson from Kiski, but previous to enrolling at the latter school he was member of the Twenty-eighth division football team tn France, which lost the A. E. F.. championship by a matter of yards. That championship is probably the only one in the history of the gridiron game which was decided by yardage.
 The struggle ended in a scoreless tie. It was impossible for the teams to meet on a future date because of the movement of the divisions, SO it was decided to award the title to the eleven which gained the most yards. The TWenty-eighth division team lost by a narrow margin.
 Amos experie9ce on the rzmy eleven, at Kiski and his one year of collegiate training last year qualities him for a position as an assistant mem tor, especially of backfield candidates. Though he weighs 19O pounds, Amos is very fast, and one of his best assets is his ability to give interference.
 Graduate Manager R. NJ. Murphy has completed arrangements for the ar rival of the. Washington and Jefferson varsity and freshman candidates on September 2. Until the opening of school the gridiron players, who will probably total eighty in number, with q large freshman squad certain fhis year, will be housed in Hays Hall.
 Footballs have been sent to a num- Der of the members of the Washing ton and Jefferson squad. Letters re- ceiyed from them thus far state that every man available for the varsity will be in fine physical condition.

TORNADO LINE
 PROBLEM YET Tiny Hearn, G. M. A. Giant, Enters GeOr-
 gia Tech

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 16.-COach W. 4. Alexander of Georgia Tech has not yet found material to bolster the weak point iri the middle of the 1924 Yellow Jacket line, but he is consider ing changes in the line which he be- lieyes will offset the green men whom he will have to fill the holes, at center and guards, knocked in last years eleven by graduation and dropping of the star center.
 George Gardner, captain of the 1924 squad, who starred last year at the end position, may be shifted to tackle. If this. shift goes through, it is likely that Merkle, star tackle of 1925 team, will go to the flank position. By such switch, Coach Alexander sees an opportunity to give moral support to new men at center and guard and thus strengthen the defense of the squad, at least. -
 Both Gardner and Merkle have played both positions. Last year, with the tackle jobs well taken care of Merkle is better there-Gardner was found best suited for the end position. Alexander last year started his squad each game with an eye to this years exigencies. He never started the same pair of tackles in two games, but Merkle was always in the line. The other best shots at tackle are Usry and Huffines. ..
 The end positions ought to be well cared for this season, even though Merkle is substituted for Gardner, if the. latter is moved in. King, Nabelle and Marshall will be in the running and each has a good service record.
 Indications now, with the planning of first practice September 1, designate Wilton, who comes up from last years Rat squad, as the logical man for quar- ter. He is fast, has weight and showed his good judgment with the Freshmen.
 The outlook for next year was frightened few days ago when it was learned that Tiny Hearn, a Geor- gia Military college giant standing 6 feet 6 inches, will enter Tech in Sep tember. He will go out for the Fresh squad and try to climb the next year to the varsity. He is the best prospect Tech has had for tackle or end in sev- eral years.
