Lovers of football are looking for ward with great delight to the meet ing between Georgia and Alabama at the Fair Grounds saturday afternoon. the program on that day. and will att tract thousands of spectators.
 The field in front of the grand stand has been worked over. and will be in splendid shape for the struggle. 1t is as smooth as 8 billiard table and sl- most as hard. The play will be seen from every seat in the grandstand, and at the altitude at which the Erecta- will be plainly discernable.
 The Georgia eleven will arrive in Montgomery Saturday morning. and will be quartered at the Exchange Ho- morrow and will probably nave bead quarters at the same hotel
 The game will be called promptly at s:so o'clYek in order to insure It's be- ty-five minute halves are to be played, which means that the game will 80 about one hour and forty or fifty min- utes. and counting. the intermission 1t finished. The officials have not yet been chosen.
 Will the fearful drubbing which Tus- caloosa received at the hands of the football warriors? This is a question which has been asked frequently this week, and needs no answer except to spirit. spirit No No SetteS ' stimulus % c could IIs nave been applied to the eleven than such an overwhelming defeat as that Mon- day affair.
 Tsnt Oash ahs to de efses wtS gss the concerted plays of the Tigers brought out so vividly will be reme- died, the lesson taught by this de- against which foemen are expected to dash themselves to pieces. and the slowly executed trick plays will be quickened. Backs that ran easily in going. and already there is a raIIying of former stars of the loved old Uni- versity to shape the eleven up.
 Alabama is not as weak as Mondays score would indicate. The eleven is stronger than the comparative scores between Sewanee and Auburn and Se- vance would indicate. Alabama was not not up to bruising game playing as line up. Two of these went in against the wishes of their team mates and one of them, Burks, couldn't raise his left hand as high as his shoulder. There was also missing Dowell. the star of the backfield, and with only one game before tackling the heavy Sewanee bunch, there is little wonder let up. and the injured men saved themselves as much as possible.
 The feeling at Tuscaloosa Is strong that Alabama will triumph over Geor- gia, and no effort will be spared to get the team tuned up to the minute for this contest.
 The Georgians will have about eight of last years Varsity, and will have several pounds advantage in weight They have been playing great ball so far. and their showing in their first game of the season against the strong Tennesse team was highly creditable Coach Whitney has worked hard on this years eleven, and believes he has the strongest lineup since his engage ment as coach. a4
 A When the Alabama boys arrive they will be taken in charge by local alum nj of the college and made to feel that despite their recent overwhelming de- feat. Montgomreans are still with them. A smoker will be rendered the boys, and when they line up Saturday afternoon there will be thousands there to cheer them on to victory.
