To begin the season.

Coach M. M. Green. University of Alabama roan, and last year coach of the Franklin County High School, had but four letter men with which to start the season. Around these four men, one tack-fleld player and three linesmen.

Coach Green began the work of building another winning team under the standard of tha Black and Gold of the Albertville Agricultural School. And all fall efforts have been rewarded. Out of what looked like green and Inexperienced material, a machine, looking like a real football team bas emerged. Jesser Aldridge, quarter back, la the only backfleld man of last year who reported. H.

Strickland, G. Casey and Floyd are the lineman, around whom the forward defense is being rebuilt. Among the new men who are showing up well are: Barnes, IJooser Orr and Ogle at guards; Casey and Mosley at tackles; Oscar Aldridge, Garnett, Vortan and Statt at the wing positions. In the backfleld Baker, Strickland, Rains, Parish and Essllnger are fighting It out for the halves and full, Jesse Aldridge seeming to have quarter back cinched. A new feature of the Aggie schedule this seaSon, will be the playing under the new Alabama High School Association rules, of'whlch Jhe Aggies are a member.

Coach Green has to say of the association; I would like to encourage the membership in Alabama High School Association, and hope that every high school In the Northeastern division will join, and urge the enforcement of the rules to the letter, then, while wa are developing football wa are also developing character and scholarship. The town of Albertville, always noted for Its sportsmanship snd backing of Its teams. Is fairly s-hum with encouragement over tha prospects of the Aggie eleven, snd every afternoon a large group of spectators can bs seen hovering about the field watching the men go through practice. On account of tbs Aggies being members of the new association the schedule 'hasnt yet been completed, but games have been scheduled with the following: September 25 Oneonta at Albertville; September 30, Bluntsvllle at Albertville; October 6, Gurley at Albertville; October 14.
