Alabama Hunters Can
 Take Field 1his Morning

Beginning this morning, if extreme care is exercised. a person may shoulder his gun. whistle to his dogs and get to the woods after the bob white quail without fear of the arm of the law.
 As far as quail. dove, duck, goose and the like are concerned, the state game laws were suspended at midnight last night. While this is true. if the hunter desires to pursue game without interfer- ence he must be careful of the ground whereon he sets his foot, and most cir cumspect in his manner.
 Before man can hunt beyond his inn mediate voting precinct, a license is nec- essary. He must then carry his license in his pocket while on the hunt. He must not touch his neighbours property With out first having asked for and obtained permission Non-residents of the state may procure a license from a probate judge of this state in return for sl5.
 Then the hunter must be certain not to shoot more than 25 cartridges, two tur- keys or one deer. in any one day. Then he must not ship his game to a friend in the city and must not transport it from one place to another unless he himself accompanies it. Then the railroads of the state must not transport the hunter and he himself Killed the birds and shows his license for doing so. Then he must not sell barter or offer for sale the game that he has killed. This has been interpreted as forbidding hotels, cafes and restau- rants from serving quail, wild turkey,

duck. goose, deer and other wild game to their guests.
 The hunter must exercise care that ne does not kill birds between dark and day. break, nor uses artificial light in his hunting. He must never kill doe or fe- male deer and cannot kill any deer from January 1 to November 1. In addition. other restrictions have been thrown around the hunter. He cannot bait or trap.
 No turkey can be shot until December 1. The limit for turkey is March 1, when the law again assumes protective spirit about quail. dove, duck and the like. Snlpe and blower may he shot until May l. Imported game birds ruffled grouse, Eng fish pheasants and the like. are wholly protected until December 1, 1912. Squ,r- rels may be killed from September to February only.
 To obtain a county permit the applicant must have been resident of this state for period of one year at least.
 Fish are also protected. No explosives must be used in taking fish. No fish may be taken by net or seine,

KIenholz of Auburn. whose stay in Dixie has been for a few months, charges that several institutions in the south are play ing professional men,. He mentions, among many. the Georgia Tech, and the University of Alabama, declaring that there are to his certain knowledge four ringers on the last named institutions team Now if Coach Kenholz knows positively that there are four ringers on Alabamas team, he certainly can prove that fact, and it is his bounden duty to prefer charges to the executive committee of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association. Unless such charges can be proved, it is the height of the ridiculous for man to be spreading them abroad. If such charges are known and no action to bring pressure to bear IS taken, then the man knowing them IS neglecting a moral obligation to the sport out of which he gets livelihood.
 There Is a noticeable readiness nay eagerness on the part of many to pre- fer charges of professionalism against a worthy rival, when to substantlate such charges is a matter impossible. Every man is considered innocent unless proved guilty in this country, and this lenency holds as concerns athletics.
 It so happens in the south that II A new football player is developed into a star. and the fact becomes known that he is a native of New York or Wash ington there are ten thousand who Wlnk their eyes, and imply "ringerism.' It IS ridiculous to hold any college blame worthy because one of it's athletes IS registered from Portland or New or leans or Ishkooda. Let's practice toi- erance in these matters
 Alabama should meet Auburn. here after. on Thanksgiving Day and Georgia and Tech on that day, should come to blows.
 Heretofore, this schedule has been im- possible on account of an agreement be- tween the University of Georgia and Au- burn to meet every year, for long period. on Thanksgiving. This year, how ever the understanding Is, that the agree ment is terminated. Therefore. Alabama and Auburn, and Tech. and Georgia should form an agreement to meet each other on Turkey day. Alabama then could play Tennessee on November 16, and Au- burn could meet Georgia on Novem- Der 16.
 This arrangement is desirable to every alumnus of each of the our institutions and has been advocated by sporting writers for years and years The great est game in Alabama is between the Uni veTsity and Auburn and the greatest game in Georgia is between the Univer- sity of that state and the Tech. There fore, these games should be played on Manufacturing, the last of the football season. On this day. the great rivals or the east meet notably, the Army and the Navy. and the state teams of the south should follow suit The idea is a good one, everybody admits, and should ma terialize.

The entire southland is aghast at the impertinence and presumption of the American association in it's endeavor to uplift itself from the level of the South ern league to the plane of the National and American. While. of course what we say at this time will cut no ice. still we have the right to express our opinion, both for the sake of argument, and because it gives pleasure.
 The American association, even if it is a trihe faster than the Southern league is nearer the speed of the Dixie major than the American or National com panies. That is, the champion of the American association could not have de- feated Atlanta as easily as Detroit could have defeated Columbus. The move, even if. as last season, it is a gigantic bluff is a small piece of impertinenee and a masterpiece of presumption.
 More vitally than either the National or the American leagues would the ele- vation of the American association af- feet the Southern. It would mean an- other company with power to draft from Southern timber. It would give the South ern league such a backset that to re- cover. 1t would require several seasons
 The desire of the American associa- ton is a desire for more power and more money, perfectly natural, as one might see. It is not believed, however, that if the organized baseball world, as 1t intends and as 1t should, sits down on the presumptuous American as sociation, that that crew of upstarts would dare to make of itself an outlaw for the simple return of penetrating Chicago.
 Throughout the south, the notoriety seekers are raising a considerable din anent the charge of professionalism In college athletics. It is not believed that there is a professional bootball player in the south, that is player who draws money. or the equivalent of money. from the institution in which he is enrolled as a student There doubtless are men in southern colleges whose tuition is paid for by alumni. and others who go to col lege for the simple reason that they delight in playing football. If several men in Birmingham. for instance. raised several hundred dollars with which to defray the college expenses of probable football player, the college can do noth- ing but accept him. The football coach can do nothing but invite him to par ticipate in the practice games and to make him a member of the team m case his promise of prowess pans out
 There is no way under the sun to legiti- mately disqualfy such man, or to hold college even morally responsible

BIRMINGHAM MEN
 WILL SEE MICHIGAN
 MEET OLD MANDY

The Vanderbilt Michigan football game tomorrow, which will be the greatest game in the south this season, is att traeting the attention that it deserves all over Dixie.
 Vanderbilt has many alumni in Bir- mingham. and the great majority of these will attend the game. In addition there will be others from Birmingham and elsewhere in Alabama. These football en- thusiasts will go aboard the Louisville and Nashville tonigp, and will land in Nashville tomorrow morning. It is ex- pected that about 150 will be in the party.
 The chances favor Michigan to win. but as Yost properly states, it will all depend on luck Michigan has a good team this year, and Vanderbilt has an excellent organization from a southern calibre viewpoint. Ii is a foregone con clusion that the battle will be hard fought one.
 It is quite concession for Michigan to come south to meet southern college.
