Definite arrangements will be made today toward bringing the Alabanna-Se- vance lootbali game to Montgomery
 The game win be played in Montgom- not the game will be here depends on the decision of the manager or the mountain men.

Auburn. the Tuscaloosa men are alumni sample of their prowess and are confident that they will be able to punish the Purple.
 The reason tor transferring the game to Montgomery from Birmingham is both practical and sentimental The management does not believe that a football game in Birmingham in less match and just a week from the big Thanksgiving Day game with Tennes- see, would pay expenses. Then, too: the the cgihW cpimsonrWh:te % iiberaiiy. % % and the the Tuscaloosa team Is anxious to pay their respects to their supporters.
 The game should be one of the very best mate hes of the season. Compara- tive scores show that they are about even and although 1t is supposed that the mountaineers are faster than the Alabamians, the home team will be heavier and their condition cannot be

 The defeat of sewanee by Texas was rather surprise after Texass bad showing against Vanderbilt, but they had the disadvantage of a long, hard trip and probably other minor things
 Auburn seems crushed beyond hope of recovery. The Davidson game was a surprise but the Poiytechnics thought the defeat was luke and kept up heartening and the Clemson score an unpleasant foreboding.

Mike Donahue tried as hard as a man car to impress on the minds of his players that they. had not rounded easy victory over the Marion prepara- tory school and the defeats of the Mont gomery Athletic Club gave them still more confidence and the Davidson game was regarded by them as luke Af- ter all these defeats Auburn still be- 1ieved that she had been playing in hard luck and had really strong team until she saw Alabama.

Then the fine score against Georgia and the good showing against Central of Kentucky boomed Alabama stock and when they went on the field in Birmingham there was a team drilled to fight for everything they got and to be discouraged by nothing.
 No better team work has ever been seen in Alabama. Every man tried to aid his fellow players and the men work with such unison that it is ire sistible. The individuals are good, but the team work SD slled Auburn's defeat. Auburn was outweighed a little per- haps. but Alabama could have given Auburn weight for age and won easily They had the spirit and Auburn didn't And that's the thing that makes and unmakes football teams.
