A. C. BY HAROLD I. FISHER If you are one of the thousands of fishermen who looked with longing eyes at those two big bass at the state fair last week longing to have mm of them fast to the end of your MACON Sophomores rush in where veterans fear to tread, so it remained for little Allen Bloodworth, a substitute quarterback, to give Mercer its only score Saturday and supply the thrill of the game with a 75-yard run for a touchdown as the Bears lost to Presbyterian College, 7 to 6, in the season's opener here. It was the same Tiny Bloodworth.

140 pounds of man, whose attempt for the extra point from placement went wild, and ultimately cost Mercer a tie. Where Mercer couldn't produce. Presbyterian did as Shorty Home line you needn't give up all hope. Maybe you'll get a chance to catch one of them after all. For ail of the fith in the display at the fair are to be planted in East Lake, where the city is attempting to build up the supply to a point where Birmingham anglers can have some real fishing right at their doorstep.

Boy, what a scrap that big fellow would put up! And did you see those pug-nosed, oversized bream? nounces all plans completed. The "Stop Smith" motif is induced by the fact that Miss Margaret Smith, the Country Club star, will be gunning for her third consecutive crown in this event opening Tuesday morning. She copped in 1932 and 1933 and unless some exoert niblickina is TORNADO DEFEATS pi menu in aid Mlijjl ULLIIIUUli in nm produced by her rivals the prophecy that she will repeat should be made I Probably few of the many persons gooa. booted the ball squarely through the nnriffhts frr the pvtra nnint aftpr aftpr wno saw me iwo oig Dass realized But aside from Miss Smith there Bobby' Hie'suchdm the last how bigthey were.

That, gents, most likely will be two other meet winners in the field which should add some spice to the battling. Then there is some word of a former Western champ coming from Montgomery from Uncle Sam's military colony, and if this probability materializes then the field will get much warmer indeed. Mrs. Henry S.

Geismer, who won the first tournament staged under Ci Alabama Association back in 1929. exoects to extract hir chnirp Marshall Grosso, the Wylam buster, who holds the state light-heavyweight amateur boxing championship, and Ed Kaiser, former king of both the light-heavies and heavyweights of Alabama, will collide in the head-liner of Matchmaker Bill Cather's weekly amateur fight production at the Birmingham Athletic Club Thursday night. Both Kaiser, who now calls Columbiana home, and George Vallas, the local Greek assassin, who is unbeaten this year, were clamoring for a shot at Grosso. The matchmaker decided to let Kaiser have the champion and to throw Vallas in against the winner. Grosso, a great favorite in this district, has appeared only once this season, knocking out Thunderbolt Bryant in the second round.

He is stationed at a CCC camp near Fort Payne and has become a big card in that section with his clever boxing. Kaiser, a 175-pounder who can hit with either hand, has not displayed his wares in a Birmingham ring this season. Several times Kaiser was billed for action, but his opponents didn't show up and two weeks ago when Ed was billed for a tilt with Skeeter Bozo, he suffered an injury prior to the fight that caused cancellation. However, Kaiser's appearance this time seems a certainty as both he and Grosso are eager to get at one another. Outstanding on last week's show was the James Smith-Waites Cameron tussle which ended all even.

Cather hopes to rematch these stars either for Thursday night or the following Thursday. Smith's claims that he was the victim of rough handling by Referee Herbert Montebaro in the tilt last Thursday night was upheld by ringsiders and if they meet again, Joe Calamuso, the Turk, will probably be third man in the ring. No definite bouts concerning other matches for Thursday are forthcoming, but Cather expects to offer his usual 30-round card and will pre the Blue Stockings did not detract from their victory.

With Mercer leading 6 to 0 as a result of Bloodworth's sensational sprint, the Blues' offensive began clicking in the final minutes of the third period. They smashed from their own 34-yard stripe to Mercer's 19 before Henry Allen broke up the driver on No. 1 tee and open fire in quest of a second title and Mrs. Carl Hess, who scored in 1930, has is what is known as an old lunker in any man's lake.

Another Interesting feature of the fair to persons addicted to hunting and fishing was the little brown, "hand-painted" duck in the wild fowl exhibit. Nearly everyone who walked up to the exhibit exclaimed when they noticed this little Mandarin drake. Those little wood ducks, also appearing "hand-painted," came In for their share of attention, but the Mandarin was easily the star of the show.

Game played at Philadelphia in The Phillies spotted the Dodgers nine runs in the first inning and beat them to the wire 10 to 9 in the great uphill contest. Rixey started against Brooklyn and after pitching to five batters, two of whom scored and three were dancing on the base paths. Manager Dooin called in Chalmers to stem the tide. Four Dodgers faced him, resulting in six more runs. With a runner on third, eight runs in and no one out, Marshall relieved Chalmers.

One more Dodger crossed the pan, the ninth of the inning, before the side was finally retired. Philadelphia held Bill Dahlen's tribe after this scoring spree and plodding along, they gradually whittled this lead until the eighth found them tied 9-9. Knabe drove in the winning run in the ninth.

The new hunting season begins to get really interesting Monday when the season on squirrels opens In Jefferson and most other counties of the state.

However, if you hunt in the western part of the county you must watch the county line because the season does not open in Tuscaloosa County until Nov. 1. All other counties bordering Jefferson open the squirrel season Monday. As the season on bushytalls comes in the season on doves closes until Nov. 20.

Due possibly to the unusually warm weather, the first month of the dove season has produced little good shooting. About the only person to report a really good hunt during the month was Ted Cottrell, who found lome fine sport in Shelby County. 4 St Mr. and Mrs. B.

Kan (US-INS) Playing on a rain softened field the Universities of Kansas and Colorado Shades-Cahaba Is Loser To Bibb, 27-6 Shades-Cahaba, playing its first game of the 1934 season, met defeat at the hands of the fast Bibb County High team from Centerville. 27-6. In copping the battle, Bibb displayed a fast charging line and a speedy and alert backfield force. They were led by Capt. Oakley, who did most of the ground gaining, aided by two fullbacks, McCowan and Burnett.

Cottingham, fleet Bibb backfield star, made the first touchdown when he took a pass from Carnett and raced 25 yards across the goal line. Shades-Cahaba 's lone tally came as a result of a long pass over the goal line. The aerial route was the only medium through which the home team could gain consistently.

Phillips, making its second start of the campaign, will meet an intercity adversary in Coach Les Waller's West End Lions at Legion Field Saturday night. The outcome of this battle will be followed closely for the effect it may have in the struggle for the city title. Jones Valley and Shades-Cahaba will meet to settle their grid differences Saturday afternoon in a game which will be preliminary to the Howard-Presbyterian engagement. The Brownies, undefeated last season, barely nosed out a surprisingly strong Hanceville eleven in their first battle last week-end.

The shadows get things all crossed up and about three balls are coming at you instead of one." Though players and coaches are widely divided on the question of night football, it is generally agreed that the evening games will be continued by the smaller colleges and universities until money becomes easier. (Until when!) The larger universities are not as a rule in need of a larger gate, and besides they can draw the crowd regardless of when they play: there is small chance, therefore, of the big universities going in for night football. High schools, however, are taking interested in the gate receipts," I said, "and pleasant enough for the spectators; hut what about the players? I imagine they must hate playing under those tricky lights." Chat With Players "I believe ju're mistaken," Yeilding said, "but suppose you talk to thc players and find out for your After the Loyola game Floyd Clink, captain of the Birmingham-Southern team, was nursing a slightly twisted knee which he injured in the Friday night affair. 'But it would Invc happened just the same had we been playing in the morning or the afternoon," he said. "I've played in six night games and I much prefer them to afternoon games in the early Fall.

That September and October sun saps a man's strength and by the middle of the second half you're wilted." Other players on the Birmingham-Southern team do not agree with their captain. From the lineman's point of view, night games seemed to be preferred. But backfield men art divided in their opinions. Some nights the dew is so heavy on the grass, they argue, that the ball becomes too slippery to handle. The center's passes become inaccurate and the backs fumble the ball Further more on dewy nights forward passing is an almost worthless attack.

Ernest Teel, all-Dixie halfback who has played in half a dozen night is keenly opposed to them. "The passer can't judge the distance because of the glaring lights, and the receiver is unable to locate the ball when he turns his head quickly and prepares to receive it. The ball seems to nit you before you expect it. That perfect timing that is necessary in all sports is lost in the hazy and uncertain light. I admit with Clark that night football is more comfortable, but I think that the surety of fast play is lost." Tricky Punting Lex Fullbright.

assistant coach at Birminghpm-Southern, believes that kicking and passing are hindered by a dew-slicked ball. "Playing some night games is like playing in thc rain on a dreary, gloomy afternoon. And something else, the players may think they are feelins better, but we coaches who know them and watch them all the time know that they do not have the ginger and snap at night that they have in the afternoon, even a hot afternoon. There's something in thc night air that takes the life out of them and they become slouchy and lax." Night football was inaugurated in the South in 1928 when Birmingham- Southern played Auburn in Montgomery. "But that doesn't mean we like night games," Coach Jenks Gil-lem said.

"The coaching staff at the college has always opposed it; we don't think it brings out the best football in the individual men and in the team." Billy Johnson. Southern's new fullback who played such a splendid game as safety-man and fullback against Auburn and Loyola, is one of the few backs who favor night football. "I didn't have a bit of trouble catching the punts in either the Auburn or the Loyola games." he said. No Shadows Capt. Clark was asked if shadows bothered him.

"I've never seen any on the playing field," he declared. "The lights are arranged so that on the field itself the shadows are all blocked out. Of course you can't see the stands distinctly, and when your best girl waves at you you miss it; but I suppose that's just as well, it keeps your mind on football." During the Loyola game Billy Bancroft, now assistant coach at Howard College and once the greatest football player for his size that ever played on a Birmingham gridiron, was good enough to sit with me for a time. It is his opinion that night football will go just as soon as colleges have money enough to pay Medical Science IS RAPIDLY IMPROVING DR. M.

D. KELLEY formally opened their football sea BY JAMES SAXON CHILDERS Night football was started six years ago in an effort to beat the depression. Attendance was falling and athletic authorities at many of the smaller colleges and universities decided to follow the lead of the professional baseball clubs; they installed floodlights and made a bid for the evening "And it's paying off," said Newman Yeilding, treasurer of the athletic association at Birmingham-Southern College. "We figure that the night crowds arc about one-third larger than we could draw in the afternoon. The evening crowd at Montgomery for the Birmingham-Southern-Auburn game this year was 10,000.

We could never have drawn that attendance had we played in the afternoon: it wculd have been too hot and people would have stayed away, even those who weren't busy at their offices."

Tarns I Veee since 1929, when the floodlights were installed at Legion Field, there has been a prep school game at the Field virtually every Friday night during the football season. "It gets the parents out," one of the Birmingham high school coaches said, "and we couldn't do that in the afternoon.

High school football has benefited, both in attendance and spirit, from night play. I think it will be a very long time before the prep schools give it up." end iiresssa i vruoad I aaiaiiiao Men and w.men. If III. daMpnndent a tsdugted, coax and gest ma. No than lor onguifjitlon Blood dteeaaea.

Dean Nesmlth made the Colorado 28-yard line on a fumble by Quarterback Counter, but was stopped at that position. The punting of Fred Harris, of Kansas and of Counter and Bill Lam of Colorado, aided both teams in holding off threats. Auto Loans Quick Confidential Service Vou Keep Car Repay Monthly GUY L.
