Manager W11ght Expects
 Exciting Game Friday

defensive Maryville played good game, but could not withstand the plunges of the Auburn backs Twice in the first half the Auburn backs placed the ball in- side of Maryville's fve-yard line, and on one of these occasions only six inches sep arated the ball from the goal line. lost ly fumbles at those critical moments saved the day for Maryville. In the second half Auburn again gained considerable ground, and the backs were going down the field ten yards at a buck, when the timeieeper's whistle broke up the fun
 Since the Maryville game Auburn has improved greatly, and it's work against Gordon Institute showed a marked ini- provement. Tn this game Auburn scored three touchdowns, and broke up Gordon's formations with ease. The boys from Gainesville were well coached. and they would give several of the S. I. A. A. teams a hard game.
 "The game Friday will give the sport lovers of Birmingham an opportunity of seeing all the stunts of football under the new rules. Sewanee will probably use the old plays for several years: while Au- burn will probably take advantage of the new rules in their formations and plays"

HOWARD DEFEATS
 OWENTON COLLEGE
EAST LAKE SQUAD HAS A COM PLETE WALk-OVER-TH FINAL SCORE IS 51 TO o-DEFEATED TEAM oUTcLASSED.

At Seventy-second street, East Lake, Howard college defeated Owenton yes terday afternoon in a football game, the winners landing a walkover by a score of 51 to O. Howard was on the aggressive throughout and encountered little trouble in skrting the ends for long gains, or buclIing through the line. The Howard goal was seldom in danger
 Many spectators gathered to witness the game, and there was a. considerable dis play of college spirit. Owenton rooters, while the team was being defeated, main tained their nerve. and wlxed enthusi- astic until the end. The visiting team was simply outclassed, and considering the odds against, it made a plueky fight.
 Howard college is represented by the best team in it's history. The University of Alabama team was recently encoun- tered and while the Howard boys were defeated. their game fight against the heavier aggregation won the commenda- tion of critics throughout the south. Owen tons first game was played yesterday The team showed lack of slxllful training. However, 1t is expected that a good record will be made before the season is done.

Manager E. A. Wright of the Auburn football team expects a close and excit- ing game Friday. when the men from the Alabama college meet the strong moun- tain boys wearing the purple of sewanee Asked for formal opinion, Manager Wright furnished the following:
 ''The coming Sewanee-A Auburn game will be, from the present indications. very close and exciting contest. There is no direct way of comparing the strength of Sewanee and Auburn. Maryville played Georgia Tech a to 6 game and a week later tied up with Auburn in a 0 to game. Sewanee defeated Tech 16 to 0, and from comparative scores, it seems as If Se- vance has the better of the argument. However, if a few inside points are con sidered, it will tend to even up the strength of Sewanee and Auburn.
 Against Tech Maryville played an of fense, and with the score 6 to 0 in Mary villes favor things looked disastrous for Tech. 'Heisman's pets finally worked the ball down the field for touchdown, and saved the day for Tech. In the Ma1yvillc- Auburn game, the Tennessee boys offen- sive machine was practically out of com mission, and only once were they able to make the required ten yards. On the

Washington, October 23.-The text of the Presidents Thanksgiving proclama- ton issued today, is as follows:
 proclamation: "The time of year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it be- comes my duty to set aside special day of thanksgiving and prayer to the AL mighty because of the blessings we have received. and of prayers that these bless ings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material pros perty in ours; prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride and least of all a spirit of needless disregard of our responsibili- ties; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings and a resolute purpose, under providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own.
 Material well being. indispensable though 1t is. can never be anything but the foundation of true national great ness, then our national life will be as meanin gless and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. On our material well being must be built a superstructure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality. or else our pros perlty itself will in the long run turn out curse instead of q blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received and earnestly bent on turning it into means of grace and not of destruction.
 Accordingly, l hereby set apart Thurs day, the 29th day of November next as R day of thanksgiving and application. on which the people shall meet in their

He said he refused to stand on that portion of the demo- cratic platform which mentioned a presidential candidate for 1908, as he had his own views as to who that can didate should be-
