Captain Patterson of the local Athletic Football Club team is getting his aggre- gation in fine condition and they will be able to put up good fight with any of them.
 Thanksgiving football games are always the biggest things of the year in Mont gomery, and the indications are that this year there will he no exception to the general rule. On Thanksgiving Day there will be a game at the ball park here between the locals and the fast Athletic Club team of Jacksonville. Fla.
 Good, hard practice is going on with the locals every night and if the Florida team Is in as good shape as Captain Pat terson Is getting his men the Thanksgiv- ing Day game will be a battle royal.
 On the Monday before Thanksgiving November 21st-the locals will have a game at the ball park here with the Athletic Club team from Greenville. Most of the members of the Greenville team are ex-college men and are said to be very fast, making the team a dangerous quantity.
 Next Saturday Vanderbilt will have probably the hardest game of this season so far. Manager Marshall will take them to St. Louis where they meet the Washington University, and the Mont gomery friends of Vanderbilt trust that the Old Gold and Black will be victori- ous.
 While Auburn hasn't game scheduled for Saturday yet they have a hard prop osition themselves next Monday when they play the University of North Caro- lima in Auburn. Even the most enthu- siastic friends of the plucky Auburn team cannot hope for Auburn to beat the Tar heels, but the grit that Auburn displayed in the Vanderbilt game here last Satur- day makes the question of their scoring
 
 One week from next Saturday-on November 9th-there will be a game in Montgomery that promises to be one of tJhe warmest contests that has been held here since the Auburn -Sewanee game. Tuscaloosa and the University of Georgia will meet here on that day, and local interst is growing fast. Tuscaloosa has shown that she has an exceedingly fast team this year and the Georgia people are said to have their team in 10 per cent better shape than a week ago.
