I I I I I SEPTEMBER 24, 1932 THE MONIGOMERY ADVERLISER Constructive Fearless Independent NINS AUBURN ROLLS UP RECORD SCORE OVER SOUTHERN BY 61-0 Hitchcock And Dupree Lead Mighty Scoring Exhibition On Bowl Quad Auburn Team Clicks With Amazing Power To Open Season With Crushing Conquest Over Spirited But Inexperienced Southern Squad By STUART X. STEPHENSON (Advertiser Sporting Editor) Auburn's comeback thrust, which began with telling effect last Thanksgiving afternoon against South Carolina, was penetrated deeply into the hide of a bewildered and outclassed Panther of Birmingham-Southern last night as football made its debut locally for the 1932 season. With a one-sided 61 to 0 verdict, the Plainsmen set record in scoring for to the series and also ran up more points than they have amassed on an opponent in many years. The previous high score was Auburn's 49 to 0 verdict in 1920, the game that inaugurated the series. The flying heels of Sterling Dupree, Capt.

Jimmy Hitchcock, Allen Rogers, Casey Kimbrell and Pirpo Phipps thrilled colorful opening-night throng, which included Gov, and Mrs. Miller who occupied a special box on the west side of the field, and a majority of the legislative body now in session. But their mighty charges, brilliant to behold, were made possible in most instances by flock of linemen, especial- 3, ly the end men- Gump Ariall and Porter Grant- -whose super blocking cut down the Panthers who fell bravely as the boys did behind Pickett. Auburn warmed up to its task after few spasmodic thrills, offered by Hitchcock's hip-twisting return of kicks, and scored once in the first period. Broken fleld sprints and power then began to take hold and three six-pointers were registered in the second period.

It WAS in this section of the sweep that Auburn's 1932 disclosed rather forcibly that she must be reckoned with. The reserves, especially Haygood Paterson and Tiny Holmes at the tackles, continued an even more brilliant pace than had been set earlier in the game. The start of the third period found Paterson still in the game, the only Auburn sophomore in Tiger harness and it was through his side of the line that the Bengals charged and churned up ground which resulted in two more touchdowns. Three more were added in the last period, the climax being a twoman demonstration with Tom Shackleford lugging the leather down trail cut clean by the blocking of Hitchcock, Auburn's triple threat whose punt returning, kicking, running and all-round play stamped him even more indelibly AS one of the most finished football products ever to wear the Orange and Blue. Southern was put to rout after Jenks Gillem's spirited sophomores waged a manly battle for the first period.

Out of the chaos, however, rose as fine youngster as any coach can claim. He 1s Masten O'Neal, half-pint quarterback of Dothan. His spirit fairly blazed as he tore through Auburn's line, skirted the ends and constantly threatened to score on the finest team Birmingham -Southern has ever met from the Plains. Ernest Teel, Huston Cranford, George Briner and Loy Vaughan, whose series of runs also featured Southern's streaks, were almost helpless against the charging Tigers and they managed to ring up only five first downs, three of them coming in the last period. Aubrey Thomas, husky fullback, played 8 mansized game behind Beard at center, but the Southern tackles were outplayed all the way by the flankmen and tackles of Auburn.

Dupree stood out as the ground gaining hero of the combat. He put the ball in scoring position for the first touchdown, aided by Hitchcock, and the fleet Tiger fullback tallied the first sixpointer of the season. Hitchcock booted four of the points after touchdown, Kimbrell added two, another was awarded when Southern was off-sides and two failed. Firpo Phipps rushed into the game when Allen Rogers, starting at left half was knocked breathless by Vaughan, whose terrific tackling saved Southern on several occasions. His presence in the lineup was felt almost immediately.

Teel had kicked out of bounds on Auburn's 25-yard line and on the first play, Phipps began a fancy-stepping act that went uninterrupted until he had crossed down under the shadows of Southern's goal. Phipps, started toward his own right end, charged straight at a cameraman, whose flashlight popped and smoked. Apparently stunned by the unexpected commotion near the sidelines, he cut back, eluded the outstretched hands of several Panthers and then saw his mates rally around to slice a pathway for his Jaunt. It was a marvelous exhibition of teamwork from the time the play started until It finished. Six Auburn substitutes entered the game at this point and the first glimpse of the Tiger deception came to light.

Kimbrell, replacing Fhipps, hurled a pass to his 10-second comrade, Dupree, and the flash of the Plains scored on 8 45-yard dash that seemed to demoralize the Panthers. While Montgomery's boys in the Auburn ranks were determined to make a good showing it WAS not expected of them to shine as they did. Tom Brown, the old reliable, took up the cudgels for Dupree and Auburn and his 15-yard contribution during a drive at Southern's goal preceded the play that found Kimbrell racing five yards over Southern's goal without a Panther touching him. The line opened a gap at this point that was not to be denied. This was the fourth touchdown and more than enough for two periods.

Dupree resumed his mighty role at the start of the third period. He raced 35 yards near the sidelines and finally stepped out, but the yardage put the Plainsmen in scoring position again and Dupree finished what he had started, a slash at tackle that netted him his third touchdown and Auburn's fifth for the evening. began to cut fancy capers after his mates were hopelessly behind, but a 15-yard penalty checked the Panthers and forced a kick which provided Hitchcock with his one great opportunity to step as he is capable of stepping. He clutched Teel's kick on his own 17- yard and then picked his way through a maze of orange-shirted rivals. They dived at him from every angle but failed to check him in his gorgeous gallop of 83 yards and a touchdown.

Again Tigers sprung up like magic and they helped Hitchcock, who had helped himself by wiggling clear shortly after he had begun to pick his way through the dense field. Rogers went over standing up for the next score after Bennie Fenton had made a fine bid for an end by catching one of Kimbrell's heaves to figure in this new march, Rogers scored from the nine-yard line on a pretty play around his own left hand. Late in the game the entire varsity was back on the field and Capt. Hitchcock slipped 25 yards for his second touchdown to add to the rout that had begun long before. And he cleared the final obstruction for Shackleford who had plunged through the line, side-stepped the fullback, and then steamed for the clear.

The safety man rolled toward Shackleford and was poised to head him off yards from the final stripe, but he was cut down by Believe It Or Not -By Ripley King Features Service, W. 18th St. New York City, U. Patent Office) Patrick Henry BOISSEAU of Danville. Var HAS BEEN ELECTED SHERIFF FOR 62 YRS.

THINKING ABOUT (1 To 10) Santa Rosa, RipEnizminger (It 15 still in excellent condition) 9-24 Knight Holds Southern Natural Gas Company Free From Receipts Tax A pipe line company engaged in transmitting natural gas through its pipe lines from a point in Louisiana, through the States of Mississippi and Alabama and on into the State of Georgia, is engaged in interstate commerce, and the State of Alabama is not authorized in law to require of such company the public utility license tax provided for in schedule 89 of the revenue act of 1919.

The office of Atty. Gen. Thomas E. Knight, has so held in an opinion forwarded yesterday to State Tax Commissioner S. R.

Butler. Schedule 89 provides that gas companies or heating companies or other public utilities shall pay to the State license tax equal to two mills on each dollar of the gross receipts of such public utility for the preceding year. The question presented by Commissioner Butler's request for a ruling, is whether this schedule applies to the Southern Natural Gas Company, under facts set out in the Commissioner's letter asking that application of the schedule be construed in this particular case. These facts are to the effect that the Southern Natural Gas Company owns a pipe line through which natural gas flows, the line beginning at point in the State of Louisiana and running through the States of Mississippi, Alabama and on to Atlanta, Ga. Through this line the Southern Natural Gas Company conveys natural gas from the fields of Louisiana to points in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

So far as the State of Alabama is concerned, this gas line has only two outlets, and distributes gas in this State only through two Six-Second Allen Wins First Battle Six Second Allen, former holder of the negro lightheavyweight championship of the South, slashed out a close decision over big George Coleman Thursday night at College Hill Park. The bout was the headliner of twenty rounds of boxing sponsored by the American Legion. Evenly matched in the first two rounds Allen became the aggressor and sprang from his corner at the opening of the third with a rush and carried the fight to his heavy, but slower opponent. Weaving and ducking the thrust of Coleman, Allen pounded the head and mid section of his adversary throughout the next round. Coleman proved his ability to take It on the chin and charged back in with a series of right and left hooks that won him the fifth and six rounds.

Allen again in the seventh staged rally that brought the crowd to its feet but Coleman took it all and gave back as much. The final rounds were about even with Coleman winning the ninth and Allen gaining the edge in the final stanza when he opened a gash on Coleman's upper lip that bled slightly. Both boys put up a good exhibition and the crowd thoroughly enjoyed it. In the semi-final scrap Young Allen and Battling Craig fought to a draw. Allen was 8 bit too cautious in the opening of the bout and allowed Craig to gain a lead over him that he was able to match in the final rounds when Craig's lack of stamina forced him to resort to clinches.

In the opener Buffalo Kid kayoed Jess Harris in the third round of their scheduled four -round tilt. The Kid was easily the better of the two and would have gained the knockout in the second session but Harris was saved by the gong. A battle royal was also on the card. TALLASSEE BEATS HOLTVILLE, 34 TO 0 TALLASSEE, Sept. High School gridders won over Holtville High chool Bulldogs here this afternoon.

Another visitor was Isadore Dockweiler, former Democratic national committeeman for California and a supporter of Alfred E. Smith in the pre-convention campaign. The day also had brought him the reaction of Senator Hiram Johnson, California's outstanding Independent Republican, to Mr. Roosevelt's high praise of the Senator yesterday at Sacramento. Senator Johnson said the attitude of the Democratic nominee was "In sharp contrast with that Mr.

Hoover has maintained toward progressivism and progressives in California." Gov. Roosevelt said today it was the task of government to assitat business in the development of an economic declaration of rights under which the responsible heads of finance and Industry would work together in the public interest. The exposition of the Democratic presIdential nominee's views was given before the Commonwealth Club here in an address which preceded his appearance at Democratic women's reception and at public meeting in the Civic Auditorium tonight. Incidentally the New York Governor's visit developed an exchange of friendly words between him and Senator Hiram Johnson, California Republican, In his Sacramento address yesterday Mr. Roosevelt praised Senator Johnson for his progressivism and referred to him 86 "long warrior in the ranks of true American Commenting on Roosevelt's remark, the California Senator who only the day before had delivered an address critielsing the Government's foreign debt and relief policies, said: "The attitude of Mr.

Roosevelt is in sharp contrast with that Mr. Hoover has maintained toward progressivism and progressives in California. Gov. Roosevelt was very gracious and generous in his address at Sacramento. I personally immensely appreciate what he said, and I am sure it is equally appreciated by the progressive Republicans of this State." Roosevelt's Comment In his luncheon address Gov.

Roosevelt said: "Every man has a right to his own property; which means a right to be assured, to the fullest extent attainable in the safety of his savings. "By no other means can men carry the burdens of those parts of life which, in the nature of things, afford no chance of labor; childhood, sickness, old age. In all thought of property this right is paramount; all other property rights must yield to it, "If in accord with this principle, we must restrict the operations of the speculator, the manipulator, even the financler, I believe we must accept the restriction as needful, not to hamper individualism but to protect it. "This implication is, briefly, that the responsible heads of finance and Industry, instead of acting each for himself, must work together to achieve the common end. "They must where necessary, sacrifice this or that private advantage, and in reciprocal self-deniel must seek eral advantage.

It is here that formal government- political government 11 you choose- -comes in. Whenever in the pursuit of this objective the lone wolf, the unethical competitor, the reckless promoter, the Ishmeal or Insull whose hand Is against every man's, declines to join in achieving an end recognized as being for the public welfare, and threatens to drag the industry back to a state of anarchy, the government may properly be asked to apply restraint. To Protect Public Interest "Likewise should' the group ever use its collective power contrary to the pub11c welfare, the Government must be swift to enter and protect the public interest. "The Government should assume the function of economic regulation only as last resort, to be tried only when private initiative, inspired by high responsibility, with such assistance and balance as government can give, has finally failed. "As yet there has been no final fallure because there has been no attempt; and I decline to assume that this nation is unable to meet the situation." The broad, high-domed room in which the candidate spoke filled with smoke from scores of cigars and cigarets as he outlined his views to the stag, non-political group.

Mr. Roosevelt said the declaration of Independence asserted every man had the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "We know that individual liberty and individual he said, "mean nothing unless both are ordered in the sense that one man's meat is not another's poison. "We must build toward the time when a major depression cannot occur again; and if this means sacrificing the easy profits of inflationist booms, then let them go, and good riddance. "Faith in America, faith in our tradition of personal responsibility, faith in our institutions, faith in ourselves, demands that we recognize the new terms of the old social contract." Rise of Government The nominee traced the rise of the Government and its relations to business.

He said the history of the last half century was largely one of a "group of financial titans whose methods were not scrutinized with too much care and who were honored in proportion as they produced the results, irrespective of what means they used." "Some of my friends tell me that they do not want the government in he said. "With this I agree, but I wonder whether they realize the implications of the past. "For while it has been American doctrine that government must not go into business in competition with private enterprises, still it has been traditional particularly in Republican administrations disposal all kinds of government assistance." He added that the same man who says be does not want to see the Government in business had no hesitancy to demand tariff on his product or to take advantage of the Reconstruction Finance Corportion to ask for a loan. fight that Theodore Roosevelt, the "first The New York Governor spoke of the great Republican progressive," made against trusts and said that he had been forced to work out difference between good and bad trusts. Wilson, he said, saw in the centralized economic system the despot of the Twentieth Century.

In his own analysis of the situation, the New York Governor said: "Put plainly, we are steering course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already. "As I see it, the task of government in its relation to business is to assist in the development of an economic declaration of rights, an economic constitutional order. "This is the common task of statesmen and business man. It is the minimum requirement of a more permanently safe order of things."

Earl McFaden's Auburn plebes will meet the Birmingham-Southern Baby Panthers here on Drake Field Saturday afternoon in the first game of the 1932 football season for the Loveliest Village. The game will start at 2 o'clock. Like all other opening battles for the Tiger Cubs, this year's initial encounter with the Baby Panthers is expected to be a tough contest, with one or two touchdowns probably being the margin of victory.

While little is known concerning the strength of the Methodists they annually give the Orange and Blue rodents interesting and close games and this year is not expected to be an exception to this rule. Auburn's fresh have scrimmaged the varsity frequently and in their last rough work against the more experienced Plainsmen, they performed creditably for the amount of practice that they have had. Coach McFaden has also given his proteges much fundamental work. The starting lineup for Auburn against the Hilltop frosh probably will be Scruggs, left end; Tolve, left tackle; Fenton, left guard; Black, center; Watson, right guard; Huckebee, right tackle; Walden, right end; Paterson, quarterback; Hill, left halfback; O'Rourke, right halfback, and Boteler, fullback. This team looks promising, at least several of the players do, but not as promising as McFaden's: 1931 first-year squad.

Football Crowds And Rules Get Test NEW YORK, Sept. (P) College football embarks on its first major offensive of the 1932 campaign tomorrow with two salient thoughts in mindfirst, that the generally reduced ticket prices will keep the cash customers interested; and second, that the substantially revamped playing rules will effectually check the casualty lists, grown to the critical proportions in 1931. The preliminary maneuvers will be interesting but probably not conclusive, either as to indicating which way the financial winds will blow this Fall or what may be expected in competitive performances. Other features of the current sporting whirl, including the world series, as well as the "set-up" character of most preliminary games combine to defer a real test of football's ability to weather the storms around it. Having fallen off, roughly, from 25 to 30 per cent on the average within the last three years, gate receipts this season, with reduced ticket prices, hardly can be expected to amount on the whole to more than 50 to 60 per cent of the "peaks" reached in 1928-29.

Anticipating this, however, all colleges and schools have slashed their budgets by cutting down training expenses, equipment costs and in many instances, the size of squads.

After looting the bank, the men ran to small maroon sedan and drove away. The men changed automobiles out of town and headed toward Birmingham. BIRMINGHAM, Sept. UP) Police were asked early this afternoon to be on the lookout for two men driving small green sedan who had held up and robbed a bank at Courtland, of 000 in cash. NE companies, the Alabama Natural Gas Company and the Central Public Service Company.

On the basis of the facts involved, after a thorough discussion of the law applying, the opinion holds: "My conclusion is that the Southern Natural Gas. Company in conveying Its natural gas from Louisiana through Mississippi and Alabama and on into Georgia is engaged in interstate commerce; that, 50 far as the collection of license tax for the purpose of revenue is concerned, the State is without authority to collect such license tax from the Southern Natural Gas Company. It is my judgment that the courts would not uphold such an act on the part of the State. "It is my judgment that the collection of such a license tax under the revenue Jaw of 1919 would be sonstrued 88 burden on interstate commerce, and such a burden as is prohibited by the commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States, as construed by various decisions of the Court of the United States." The point is made that there is no Intention to indicate in the opinion, that the license tax in question may not be required of and collected from the two distributing companies, the Alabama Natural Gas Company and the Central Public Service Company. In another opinion addressed to Secretary of State Pete B.

Rivers Of Texas Give Up 3 Bodies KERRVILLE, TEXAS, Sept. 23-(P)- The bodies of three persons drowned in flooded streams of South Central Texas were recovered today and searchers were hunting for that of a woman who apparently perished in the same manner. High water swept an automobile off a bridge crossing Johnson Fork of the Guadalupe River seven miles from Kerrville, plunging Fred Tullos, 36, and his companion, Miss Cleo McCallum, 33, into the raging torrent. Tullos's body was found today about two miles downstream from the low bridge, but Miss McCallum's had not been located.

It was regarded as almost certain that she had lost her life, as she could not swim. The body of Miss Ethel New was recovered today from the Guadalupe River near the town of Hunt, where she had been living with her sister. She had been missing since 3 a.m. Her bathrobe was found on the river bank. An inquest was ordered to determine just how she came to drown.

She was about 40 years old. A report from Taylor told of the body of Steve Merka being found in a submerged automobile in Turkey Creek, near there. He had been missing since last Saturday. The car had plunged through a bridge rail into the rain-swollen stream. CLEMSON DEFEATS PRESBYTERIAN, 13-0 CLEMSON COLLEGE, S.

Sept, 23. -(P)-The Clemson Tigers, displaying typical opening day form, had little difficulty today in defeating Presbyterian College's 1932 football aggregation, 13 to 0. Neither team showed anything like smooth team-work or finished blocking, although the visitors were clearly outclassed. Both of the Clemson touchdowns came in the first half, the first coming when Gene Williams bucked the line for yard after a march down the field from the 42-yard line. In the second period steady pounding put the ball on the P.

C. 40-yard stripe. Captain Bob Miller shot the ball for 8 15-yard pass and Henry Woodward, sophomore, who raced the remaining distance for the touchdown. Miller kicked I the point. Courtland officials, in a telephone call to Montgomery immediately after the bank had been robbed, requested members of the local police department to watch for the two bandits.

Chief of Detectives Paul Rapport was given a description of the two men, both of whom were of moderate height and stout, and of the maroon coupe in which they fled from Courtland. Minister Held In Criminal Assault MADISONVILLE, KY. Sept. (P) The Rev. Herbert Sheets, 29, pastor of church at Boston, near here, was in jail here today without bond on a charge of criminal assault preferred by Madisonville girl.

His preliminary hearing has been set for Monday before County Judge J. D. Skain. The minister denied the charge. The girl charged in a warrant issued this morning that the alleged attack occurred last night while she and Mrs.

Sheets were returning from Madisonville to where he had been holding revival about 12 miles from here. She charged that after the alleged attack the minister drove her to the home of her cousin, where both had been guests. After the minister retired, she said, she told her relatives and authorities were notified. Educator Sees Birth Of 'New' Liberal Party NEW YORK, Sept. (P) -Formation after the election of a new Liberal party, which will include the Socialists and also "men like Franklin D.

Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot" was predieted tonight by Paul Douglas, University of Chicago professor. Douglas, who is not a Socialist, is chairman of the "committee of 100,000" supporting Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for president. Douglas said "If Thomas polls large vote, regardless of who is elected president, Liberals can expect some concessions." "I think we will get more concessions if Hoover is elected and Thomas polls big vote, than if Roosevelt wins and Thomas gets a small vote." "Roosevelt is about two per cent better than Hoover, but Thomas is 50 per cent better than either of Speaking of a "new party," he said: "We must smash the Democratic Party before we can get a Liberal lineup. XXX "The way to force a coalition of the two old parties is to smash the Democratic party and bring about an amalgamation. "When that happens there will be good chance for us to draw such good men as Franklin Roosevelt, Democratic governor of New York, and Gifford Pinchot, Republican governor of Pennsylvania.
