 Tuscaloosa News.

Tuscaloosa, September 25.-(Special)- The enrolment at the university continues to grow with each succeeding day. It has now reached the highest mark for the last twenty-five years for this time of the season.
 Much interest is being manifested in football this year, and the boys are go- Ing to attempt to make up in determina- ton what they may otherwise lack. Some false rumors have gotten abroad as to the size of the team this year. While 1t is true that there are two or three large men who have gotten out for practice, 1t seems, from an interview with one of the coaches, that the team will not go above the average. Only three of last years players are here this season, Sar- tain, Burks and Truman Smith. These are good, however, and will help the new ones. There are a number out for practice every afternoon but these are green as to the game and will require hard work to be developed properly. In fact, the material Is not what it was hoped 1t would prove to be before the opening; however, nobody is disheartened, and If determination and work can ac- complsh anything, the varsity will not be altogether Ito the bad7 this year.
 State Examiner Judge w. F. Wilkinson has just finished his examination of the county, university and asylum books here, and he makes a flattering report on all three sets. He speaks in the highest terms of all the county officials and the manner in which their books are kept.

 It is reported that Tuscaloosa was vis- ited by slight frost last Friday morn Ing. One of the workmen down on the river, who gets out early, reports that the woodwork of a barge which he is constructing. had a distinct coating of frost on It when he started to work that morning.
