DUSTING 'EM OFF BY ZIPP NEWMAN COACHES RATE VANDY AND GEORGIA AS BEST Commodore And Bulldog Schedules Too Tough; Fiercest Campaign In Years Seen BT DILLON L. GRAHAM Associated Press Sports Writer ATLANTA, Sept. 19 (Ah Tulane, Alabama and Tennessee, three of the strongest teams last Fall, are selected by Southern Conference coavhes as the most likely contenders for the 1931 championship. In answering an Associated Press questionnaire, most of the coaches i said Georgia and Vanderbilt would rank as the strongest teams in Dixie, 1 tut lew gave the Bulldogs or Commodores a- chance to come through their hard schedules without defeat More strong teams, harder and better arranged games and more variety in styles of play will con-1 tribute towards the fiercest fought; campaign years.

ver before have so many inter- cen'erenee games been scheduled. I livery team has at least five con-1 lerence contests, while Alabama, Kentucky. North Carolina. Florida end Tulane have eight, and Georgia Tech South Carolina. Tennessee and Vanderbilt have seven engagements, "Tulane has Tile best chance of any Cl the so-called good teams to come through its schedule.

It has possi-Mv tile best balanced slate, said Couch Russ Cohen, of Louisiana. rlatP "Alabama should be good and if they got by Tennessee, should be hard to beat." Tulane's schedule is so arranged that it ill have rest time in between the hardest games with Georgia and Vanderbilt. Alabamas schedule, is well built. The Crimsons should be able to point for the tough with Tennessee and Vanderbilt. although Kentucky may give trouble.

North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Auburn arid Georgia Tech. Vanderbilt, the coaches said, had an even harder conference lineup, meeting Tulane and Georgia on successive Saturday's and also playing Alabama, Tennessee, Maryland. North Carolina, Georgia Tech and an lntersectlonal encounter with Ohio State. Tennessee's main trouble will come In mid-season when it faces Alabama. North Carolina and Duke in a row.

Vanderbilt and Kentucky ere to be met later, but the Volunteers will have some rest between these skirmishes. AUBURN, Sept. 19 Showing Improvement in blocking against a freshman team that looked much bet-, ter than last Saturday, Coach Chet Wynne's Auburn Tigers defeated Coach Earl McFaddens Plebes In a regulation game here Saturday afternoon on Drake Field, 26 to 0. At times the varsity looked like a strong football team, but the starting eleven showed most of the flashes of brilliance. The reserves or second team failed to impress the coaches with their playing.

Coach Wynne summed the game up In the following words: Some of the players showed a knowledge of football and sparks of intelligence, while others were hopeless. Only a few over a dozen of the players did what they had been coached to do. The starting eleven was composed of Grant and Ariail. ends; co-Cup-tain Bush and Ariail, ends; co-Cap-pus and Chanibless, guards: McCollum, center; co-Captaln Davidson, quarterback; Phipps and Hitchcock, halfbacks, and Brown, fullback. With one exception this will probably be the starting lineup against Birmingham-Southern In Montgomery Friday night at 8 o'clock.

Auburn and Southern will open their 1931 campaigns in the Capital City classic. Hatfield At Half Hatfield took over the left halfback post at the start of the third period and If his sprained toe Improves will probably open against the Panthers. He looked the best Saturday that he has ever looked in the first practice game of the year. He failed to make any lengthy runs, but looked good blocking for his mates. Hatfield Is a Montgomery boy who Is expected to be at his best against the home-folks Friday evening.

Hitchcock scored three of the four touchdowns and Kimbrell, a sophomore, the other on a run of 50 yards. Davidson and Kimbrell place-kicked for two of the extra points. Klm-brell's mates brought a scythe In action in mowing down freshmen when he made his lengthy Jaunt. An improved brand of blocking also was of considerable help to Hitchcock in crossing the goal line. Coach Wynnes second team was Mason and Senn, ends; Holmes and 1ST mm law Holding Swift Driving To Bn Cause Of Traffic Toll, Police Code Recited LOS ANGELES, Sept.

19 (JP) Ellsworth Vines, national singles tennis champion, submitted to his third defeat after his return to Southern California Saturday when ho teamed with Josephine Crulck-shank, of Santa Ana, and lost a mixed doubles exhibition match In the fifth annual Pacific Southwest tournament to George Lott, Phila-delphia, and Edith Cross, San Francisco, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Led by Vines, possessors of 23 National, British, French and Canadian titles, will participate In first round play In the Pacific tournament here Monday. Only the name of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, National womens singles champion, Is lacking. Vines, the owner of three of these championships National men's singles.

National mens clay court singles, and National mens clay court doubles, Is defending champion. A year ago, still a comparative unknown, he defeated Gregory Mangln, of Newark, N. for the title. The mens singles seedlngs read similar to a list of National rankings. Second to Vines Is George Lott, of Philadelphia, whose game is particularly adapted to concrete courts.

Lott Is a member of the National mixed doubles championship team. Third stands John Van Ryn, a new Los Angeles resident, 5vho owns half a share in the National, British and French doubles title with Lott. Sidney Wood, of New York, winner of the British singles championship, is seeded fourth, with Berkeley Bell, veteran Austin, Texas, player, fifth. Heading the list of women stars Is Mrs. L.

William and Mary scored In the first period by that method and Langley Field In the third period.

The game was a matter of two good lines which smeared the opposing offense. V. M. Barely Licks Hampden-Sydney LEXINGTON. Sept.

19 (JP) A determined little Hampden-Sydney eleven Saturday held the flying squadron of V.

Ray Caldwell was the first Baron in the dressing room. There were fans scattered on the outer fringes of the bleachers and at the extreme corners of the left and right wings of the steel saucer. There weren't more than 3,000 early birds present for the Buffs batting practice but they made enough noise for 10,000. Tex Carleton pitched to the Buffs and it didnt appear there was anything wrong with his right index finger. Homer Peel drove out the long hit, a 370-foot drive over the left field wall.

And there were cheers aplenty for him. Joe Medwick shot two fast balls into the temporary bleachers in left center. Guy Sturdy, in two attempts, didn't get the ball out of the infield. Carey Selph was hitting every ball on line. Buffalo Stadium is said to be the best lighted park in Class A baseball.

The equipment cost $21,000. The infield and outfield looks like green island below the brilliant arc lights. The setting looked appropriate for a lawn party. Over second and short there were high shadows, making high popups difficult to handle. Shadows passed over center where there were no lights at all.

F'rom the press box you look into a dark green back ground. Del Pratt, the Galveston manager and former Alabama football star, claims the lighting system in Bufialo Stadium is the most treacherous in the Texas League. ic Clay Touchstone started pitching to the Barons in batting practice at 7 o'clock. Milan wanted to give the Barons some practice in hitting a cross-fire and screw balls. Pete Susko drove the second ball pitched to him into the right stands and there were no cheers as the Birmingham delegation had not arrived.

And the Birmingham musical coppers failed to notice the drive. They were busy lining up chairs to the left of the Baron dugout along the third-base line. Art Weis fouled a half dozen and then pumped up two high ones. Touchstone appeared to be burning the ball across the plate. The sky was pitched in darkness and there was a threat of rain.

Occasional flashes of lightning swept beneath the ebony dome. Light rain fell during most of the day, rendering relief to the heat- stricken Texans. There were no spectators in the left field bleachers. Houston sports writers feared a poor attendance because a local broadcasting station bad been given permission to broadcast the game from the field. Millard Campbell relieved Clay Touchstone.

Bill Eisemann hit the second ball Campbell threw into deep center. Hack Wilson is the only batter who. has ever hit a ball over the 25-foot high screen in center field. All of the 13000 grandstand seats were sold before gametime but most of the purchasers were late in arriving. It may still be an old Houston custom to bathe on Saturday evening, although a bath could be had by stirring about on the streets Friday evening and Saturday morning before the intense heat wave was broken.

Cecil Washburn, the old Birmingham-Southern supporter and former Baron supporter, blew into the press box in time to see warming-up preliminaries. He drove in from Galveston. Cecil was still of the opinion that the Buffs had too much pitching for the Barons. jj; )jc ijf Industrious photographers filled the park with flash light explosions, making crowd pictures. The Birmingham Police Band opened its third concert of the day beg pardon it's now eve-, ning.

The grandstand wasnt more than half filled 30-minutes be-for game time. And participants in the Dixie series were casting an excuse at the empty seats in the field bleachers and thinking unkind things about the man in front of the mike. "He's cramping our act" was the theme song of the players. 9 Clyde Milan took his Barons olf the field at 7:35, drawing a mild applause. The Buffs came on the diamond at 7:36 for fielding practice and the balls they were throwing around looked as large as grapefruits.

Night baseball loses the atmosphere of its own-daylight setting and takes on a circus atmosphere. You could throw the Buffs scoreboard in one corner of the scoreboard at Rickwood Field. But match the green carpet you couldn't this side of Emerald Isle. George Kircber and the Birmingham Police Band started hooping up the crowds in a big way 20 minutes before game time. And the circus setting was more pronounced than ever.

The Birmingham clown went over great especially with his shadow boxing aot. George Patrick Kelly, don't let the name deceive you George is a Greek took a fancy to the Birmingham police. He fed 42 of them and the best in his restaurant was none too good for the red-headed mans coppers. And Kellys place is where the swank Texans eat. Come what may, Thomas Bowron, the keeper of the Baronial moneys, is the life of the Birmingham party.

He is wedded to the patio'nal pastime. Larry Gilbert and Jake Atz came over to pull for the Barons and Buffs respectively. Gilbert was unable to convince Atz and old Jakie was unable t3 convince Gilbert. They were still arguing the merits of the two clubs when the men in blue appeared on the field. Belief that excessive violations of the city's speed laws are responsible for the large Increase In automobile accident fatalities In Birmingham this year was expressed by the executive committee of the Alabama Motorists Association, which met at the Redmont Hotel Friday to discuss safety methods.

The directors, called into session by Frank E. Spain, president, were of the opinion that while many pedest rlans were careless and thoughtless about crossing the street, that the major portion of automobile accidents and crashes were due to excess of the citys speed law. Believing that many persons are not familiar with the various regulations of the city's traffic code, the committee Instructed LeRoy F. Hill, secretary-manager, to make public the city speed limits. Speed Regulations Subject to the general restriction that no speed Is permissible greater than Is reasonable and proper, having due regard to the traffic, surface and width of and to any other conditions then existing, the speed limits fixed by the new Birmingham Traffic Code are as follows: Four Miles An Hour While emerging from an alley, filling station or private driveway Into or upon any public highVay.

Fifteen Miles An Hour When going around curves or traversing a grade upon a highway when the drivers view Is obstructed within a distance of 100 feet; when approaching within 50 feet of a grade crossing when the drivers view 13 obstructed; while approaching and passing a public school. Twenty Miles An Hour While approaching within 50 feet of, and passing through a business district occupied by business buildings; while approaching within 50 feet of an intersection of highways when the driver's view Is obstructed during the last 50 feet of the approach and when the driver does not have a clear vie5v of the approach of all other highways entering that Intersection, by a distance of 200 feet; when passing through any subway, tunnel or underpass. 25 Miles An Hour Thirty Five Miles An Hour While approaching within 50 feet of and while passing through a residence district; when passing over any viaduct. Thirty -Five ties An Hour Under all other conditions subject to careful and prudent driving. This speed Is permissible on boulevards, but In no ease when such speed would be unsafe under existing conditions, and would, therefore, endanger the life or property of any person.

It Is prima facie unlawful for any person to exceed the rate of 35 miles an hour upon a boulevard, or upon any street or highway In Birmingham. eshmaOiqnored Student Group At West End Church Plans Dinner For Pastor The Eshman student group at the West End Cumberland Presbyterian Church is planning a farewell dinner to the Rev. A. N. Eshmdn, pastor, next Saturday night, on the eve of his departure for Columbia, where he has accepted the pastorate of a church.

KNOXVILLE, Sept. 19 coach Bob Neyland, of the University of Tennessee, said Saturday he was attempting to get a definite ruling on a center play which Tennessee used against Florida last year and which was questioned at a recent meeting of Southern Conference football officials. In my opinion there is no question concerning the legality of the play. ho said. The play fits nicely into our scheme of attack and I am determined to get a definite ruling on it.

He said he had written to football officials throughout the country for an opinion on the play. Neyland explained the play as follows; Tennessee form. cion, balanced linp, quarterback up under center reaching as near the ball as possible. Center passes the ball to quarterback who takes the ball as far forward as he can reach it, and draws to rear slowly, the center completely releasing possession and control of the ball. As quarterback withdraws ball to rear slowly, the center reaches backward and takes the ball from quarterback during its progress to rear.

The quarterback then whirls away from under center, pretends to hand the ball another back as on an off tackle smash, and then, still pretending to have the ball, runs toward his own goal, faking to get in position to throw a forward pass. The center drops over the ball and runs with It when, and if the coast is clear. According to the rules, Neyland said, any man on the offensive may take pass from the quarterback, provided the ball is not thrown or handed forward. Neyland claimed that if an opposing linesman should charge the Tennessee center hard enough 'every -time the Tennessee quarterback was In position to make the play he 'Mihl undoubtedly break the play up and probably cause a disastrous fumble more than half the time.
