HORTONMEN TO START SEASON HERE SATURDAY Team Has Final Workout And Pronounced Ready For Tilt 'Coach Tiny Horton’s Decatur high school Yellow Jackets football team is readv for the opening of the 1931 football season. The boys went through a final light workout this afternoon and tomorrow al 3 o’clock Zeke Young's Auburn high school gridmen will come to Decatur for the opening tilt. One or two injuries already have ■hMallen the Horton camp, hut the Usuries are not serious and the rest nt the squad is in good condition fo.r the first game. The playing field, just east of the Monroe street bridge has been levelled down and it is in tine condition. Bleachers twtve been erected on one side of tile field, and a fence has been built around the playing area. .Coach Horton has been busy this week deciding just who his starting lineup will be. He has a host of material to chose from, but most of the players are green. ■ There are eight candidates for (Jie two end posts. Marion Feasel. JRernon Hill and Pat Coffee are probably the outstanding ends at this time but Eady. Cloud. Blythe, M Parrish and Doyle Smith are causing plenty of competition. Z At tackle there are five aspirants including Roop, Dick Parrish. Ogg, Macklin and Hammond. All five of the tackle candidates are likely material and a lively contest is on for the two starting places Saturday. At the guard positions there are Hurst. Bosse. Schetiman, Biker. Conrad and Dickerson. . The squad has three good centers, Musser, Saunders and Tom ■Burk. It is highly probable that all t,hree will be given an opportunity to prove their ability in the opener Saturday. In the hackfield list there are 14 outstanding aspirants. Dick Odle and Louie Litterer are the two veterans and probably will see action Saturday. Allwein. Buffenbarger, Ehinger. Dick Townsend. George Helm. Schultz, P. Strickler, Gerald Strickler. Dick Schug, Elzey. Fugate and Moyer all probably will get into the game at some time or other. Coach Horton said that outside of lack of experience, his team was as good this year as it has ever been and he believes that after a few minutes of play Saturday the boys will come through with a real game of football. The Auburn team has several

Who Says That Men are Not Interested in Styles? • The fact rests in the wise knowing that the successful man who forges ahead is Vitally interested | in his personad appearance and he I who succeeds in making the other fellow look to him for style in Suits, Top Coats, Shirts, Hats and Shoes is the man who is getting ahead of all others. The American I public is greatly interested in out- | doing the other fellow and that | leads to our wonderful success in leading the world. The Fall seasI on is here and ini full blast now and John T. Myers Co. has jusf received the most wonderful stock of suits in the latest new styles, of tailoring and fabrics and at showings in price much lower than before the war. John T. says that to be correctly dressed and at the ; same time to save money this store was never better equipped to serve the public.
