Large Crowd Expected.

It is expected that the largest crowd that ever attended a football game will witness this contest. Alumni from all parts of the state have signlf1ed their intention of being present and a large number of college boys will be allowed to come to Birmingham to see the game. There are many old Auburn and Ala lama students in Birmingham and they are pr rapared to give their respective he- roes an ovation when they appear on the gridiron.
 The game will be called at 2:30 o'clock, and 1t is probable that the halves will be thirty-fvo minutes each, as that is the time prescribed in the rules for championship contests.

The feature of the game was the tack ling of Rhineschmitz, Harrington and Bauer and 45-yard run made by w. Collins of the Senior team. The Juniors expect to win the next game, as they are being carefully coached.

ALABAMA TEAMS
 BOTH CONFIDENT
Great Game Between Auburn
 and Alabama Saturday
GROUNDS ARE REARRANGED
The Largest Crowd of the Season Is Expected to Witness This Con- test Between Two Rival
 Colleges of Alabama.

The football eyes of Alabama are now turned on the game to be played here Saturday between Auburn and Alabama. Both teams are now confident of suc- cess and the real football spirit seems to be pervading all quarters where ath- letics are discussed.
 So far few bets have been made on the contest by the sporting fraternity, but 1t is understood that many wagers will be made on Saturday morning.
 Both Auburn and Alabama have been working hard to be in condition for the rattle on Saturday and reports from Au- burn and Tuscaloosa indicate that both teams are in the prime of condition.
 Alabama has improved materially since the game played here several weeks ago and the Auburn sympathizers are pre- pared for a surprise. They gave Georgia an awful drubblng Saturday last and are just now feelin0 worry enrv

Auburn Not Scored Against.

In the exhibitions so far Auburn has Lot been scored against, and in fact. no team has gained more than fifty yards on them. With the exception of Clemson no team has gained the first down.
 Auburn's stronghold is in her defense, no team SO far having been able to blow through the line or skirt the ends. They also have a formation that no team so far has been able to break up. It is worked by pulling the tackles hack.
 Coach Mike Donahue of Yale has worked hard on the Auburn team and expects to see them win by a large score. Coach Blount of Alabama Is also Yale man, and the contest will be in- teresting for this reason if no other.
 Arrangements have been made to have the grounds so changed that there can be no possible kick. The fence around the gridiron will be moved back about ten feet and new checker board laid off according to regulations. This ar- rangement will allow a space of about five feet along the side lines for the use of subs. newspaper reporters and lines men
