Tuscaloosa, Nov 13--CSpecia1. )--Tus- calosa and vicinity has a severe attack of footballitis
 If something is not done for it's ease in the near future, it will be be- vond hope. Indications are that some thing will be done Saturday. For on that day the pride of Tuscaloosa. Alabama's s football squad, will meet AuDurn Tn Birmingham for the championship ot the State. If the team suffers either victory or defeat, the case will be cured If victory comes to the Uni versity, the people of Tuscaloosa will be too elated to suffer. If dark and dismal defeat should darken Alabamas s door, the disease will be cured. From present indications everybody in the town, the University. and the surround ing country; will die,
 The people here have no fear of death. They can't see wherein there is a possibility of defeat. They con / sider their chances of winning are just as sure, as the opening of the Tusca- loosa dispensary every Monday morn ing at o'clock.
 Alabama is still flushed with it's vic tory over Auburn last year. and every member of the student body believes in his heart that the team being as big score against the wearers of the Orange and Blue. as the team did last year, when Auburn drew the short end of S5 to bunch.

The stu dents are far from being alone in being stricken with footbaIIitis. Even the farmers from fifteen miles down in Tuscaloosa County. speak fluently of the condition of Young Burks's knee. and can tell you to foot of how much ground Booze" Jones. half back. has gained in cross bucks, this season.
