 In the meantime the management of the Alabama team has been keeping very quiet, and Is evidently preparing to spring a surprise. Coach Blount has been using his foxy talents during the past few days and has put the Alabamians in a position to do some excellent defensive work. If Alabama can withstay the onslaught of their opponents they can come near beat ing anybody. Their offensive play Is superb and with a good defense there is no reason to expect a defeat at the hands of Tennessee. In few days the foot ball scribe at the University of Alabama Is expected to inform the public as to the actual strength of the team, which is expected to preserve the states athle- tic honor at West End
 The local management has made ex- cellent arrangements for handling the crowds, and the field will be absolutely protected from the crowd by strong wire screens. Every spectator will have a clear view of the field.
