First Period. Auburn punctured Birmingham-Southern defense in the first quarter to pile up a commanding lead In yardage and score one touchdown. Plugging by Tom Brown, Hatfield and Hitchcock featured the drive.

STEPHENSON This is the story of a noble football experiment fresh from the laboratory at Auburn. The Tigers continued their so-called comeback last night at Cramton Bowl by running and paslsng their way to a 24 to 6 conquest over a veteran but weakened Birmingham-Southern Panther as some 9,000 sweltering fans looked on In amazement and also chagrin. Head Coach Chet Wynne knew before the game started where the weakness lay in his team from tackle to tackle. Hence, the experimenting was done in this vital sector. The results disclosed that his reserve strength is wanting.

The backfield mixture was productive of some excellent formulas as it appeared that a constant stream of threats can be in-' jected back of the line and click on the offensive. On the defensive no. Their flat-footedness enabled O'Neal, one of the finest players on the field, to heave perfectly to Albroow, crack Panther end, for southern's lone score in a wild third period that found Jenks Olllem's team very much aroused. The third period found Southern at its best. The forwards outcharged Auburn and Auburn's plays failed to snap.

The fine spirit of the Methodists threw a scare Into the Tigers and It was this period in which the Plainsmen underwent a noble experiment. With an 18 to 9 lead to start the third period, the Tigers looking decidedly upward, had five reserve men on the field. Two were in the line and three were in the backfield with Co-Captain Davidson resuming his- place as field general after a temporary relieve by Use Parker. The line gave way to the splendid drive of Bull Briner, whose steady smashing and off-tackle dashing was beautiful to behold. He fired his mates when he took Auburn's kick to open the quarter on his own 15-yard and he was not brought down until he reached his own 36-yard mark.

A kicking exchange ensued and O'Neal, another unexpected running threat, placed the leather on Auburn's 17-yard line on a 26-yard mark. He spun through the line for three more and then hurled a perfect pass to All-brook for the touchdown that proved conclusively to the Tigers that they were being outsmarted as well as outplayed. Zip Rogers renewed the Auburn spirit and refused to permit Southern to continue its threatening comeback when he ran 28 yards with the kickoff and planked the ball down on his own 38-yard line. This contest re-awakened in the Auburn backfield kept a fair exhibition in the line from becoming a bit sickening. And a glaring line weakness, except on the flanks where Porter Grant and David Airial figured prominently in checking many Panther plays, was demonstrated.

To take any of Auburn's glory of conquest from her would be silly. The Wynnemen whirled, their way to victory and flashed enough backfield power, despite the paucity of plays attempted, to gain the margin of victory chalked up. Jimmie Hitchcock, truly the "Galloping Ghost" of the Plains annoyed the Panthers for it was his elusiveness and superb drive on two occasions that cost Southern touchdowns. On another occasion it was his pass-receiving ability that registered another six points on the right side of the Plainsmen's ledger. As he stood out there on Southern's goal-line and caught Kenneth Phipps's perfect pass he was symbolic of all that's excellent in the great game of football.

Lindley Hatfield threw the same hooks into Southern last night that Re did two years ago when he sped across the same South goal. Two years ago the flashy little sophomore brought Auburn a victory by a single touchdown. Last night he sprinted across the Panther goal line for the first touchdown that ignited the winning spark. Auburn started off with a lot of dash and the early charge of Co-Captain Bush, Boots Chambless and McCollum, Tiger center, made the Southern back-field unsteady. This unsteadiness in the first period helped the Plainsmen march in the scoring zone by the fumble route and over the goal line by virtue of speed, drive and blocking.

Davey Airial, making his debut as a varsity member of the Wynne warriors, cleaved the way for the first score. He knew Hatfield was speeding behind him in an effort to make four precious yards and he saw Southern's desperate surge to crowd out the play. Airial made sure that he blocked out the defensive left-half and he shared the glory with Hatfield for that score. It wag a superb block, well timed and on the inside as Hatfield darted rapidly across the last chalk mark. Auburn's margin of victory was clean and the three brilliant plays made by Hitchcock were the highlights, though many individual efforts resulted in sensational plays.

Bugs Briner, brilliant back of Southern, and Bullet Doster, substituted late in the game, provided Southern's fireworks time after time. Jefferson County Official Refuses To Divulge What Accused Negro Said George lewis Banes, Jefferson County solicitor, late yesterday questioned Willie Peterson, negro, being held In Kilby Prison on charges of slaying two Birmingham girls Aug. 4. Warden George Walls said Solicitor Balles and deputy solicitors were closet ed with the negro for more than an hour.

Veiga, a Portugese sportsman, was near death from fever when the motorshlp Belmolra picked them Sept. 2r out of the wreckage of the plane "Esa" In which they had flown from Portugal to a point 80 miles off Cape Race. Like the other two, his feet were swollen from dangling for a week in icy water, and his knee was infected from a scrape suffered as a huge wave tossed the wreckage almost over on its side.

HOOVER IS QUOTED IN FREIGHT BATTLE 1922 Statement Is Revived By Opponents Of Increase In Railroad Rate WASHINGTON. Sept 85. (JPy An old statement by President Hoover favoring a reduction In rates on primary commodities was revived today to arguments against the railroad's current plea for a 15 per cent raise in freight charges. Arthur George, attorney for the California Railroad Commission, quoted a statement by Hoover in 1922 when he was secretary of commerce, in asking the Interstate Commerce Commission to deny the proposed increase at this time. An excerpt of Hoover's opinion of the economic influence of railroad rates, given at hearings in 1922 before the Commerce Commission cut rates, was given by George as follows: "If we look at the national economic situation as a whole the greatest Impulse that can be given to recovery from any source whatsoever is a reduction of rates on primary commodities with the immediate resumption of railroad construction and equipment The first depends on reduction of operating costs and the second upon restoration of credit tor our railways." George and H.

E. Ketner. commerce counsel for Virginia, took the railroads to task for failing to reply to shippers' arguments that a rate increase would result in a loss of traffic to the roads. Others opposing the increase today were: Maurice H. Greene, representing Idaho: D.

C. Starr, Massachusetts; Elmer, Westlake and John Ftnerty, representing sugar Interests, and A. M. Oeary, farm rate council. GRAPE DEALER KILLED KEW YORK.

Cotton planters in various sections of the State have complained to officers that they were unable to obtain an adequate number of pickers despite an unusually large number of unemployed perse ns. They attributed this to the prevailing low rate of 30 to 40 cents a hundred pounds being paid the pickers but asserted a higher price could not be paid because of the low price of cotton.

Jack Washburn, Soldier Of Fortune, Has Wide And Varied Experiences A true soldier of fortune, a giant who has strode through an ever -changing series of adventures in quest of new and varied excitement is Jack Washburn, the towering mat man, who appears on the wrestling program at the City Auditorium Wednesday night. Spending 104 days facing the withering fire of German guns on St. Mihiel and the Argonne fronts this wanderer returned to his native America for a carefree life of an adventurer.

Those 104 days, when it was Seret. Washburn, provided him plenty of excitement of that nature. His escapades and narrow escapes are legion but it was sll one great holiday for him. He never calculated the risk. His leisure hours he spent playing on the football team of his company, 314 Engineers, and his team won the A.

E. F. championship. It was by a queer co-incidence that Dr. H.

P. Hanna, Birmingham physician and post No. 1 medico, should be transferred to the 89th Division and go overseas with them. He was official physician for the football team and in that capacity he met Washburn and many other famous characters, including Capt. "Spike- Webb, famous boxing instructor.
