HOWard Victorious By

 In Auburn Tomorrow
Auburn Back Saw Wednesdays Game and Age Herald Ques- toned Over Phone Last Night-How Howard Compares With Mississippi A. and M,-The Game in Birming-
 ham Saturday Week Will Be Hot One

Concerning it's game with Howard col- lege team tomorrow Auburn is in the air, although 1t was learned that the result of the local game yesterday eased the situation on the plain" considerably.
 To tell the truth, Auburn gave the impression that 1t feared the Howard aggregation. To witness the game yester- day Halfback Wilkerson of the Auburn team came to Birmingham, and was a close spectator at the park. Fortunately Coach Counselman used few of hls most brilliant plays.
 AS an illustration of the feeling of un- certainty existing at Auburn it might be stated that The AgeHerald was called up over the long distance telephone last night and asked about the results, the mode of Towards attack, and It's de- fenslve strength.
 The game between Auburn and Howard occurs tomorrow afternoon in Auburn. If Howard learns to hold the ball, cutting out fumbles, and to get off rapidly the Baptiss have an excellent chance to

win from the heavier aggregation. How ard will have to keep it's courage up, however, in the face of the older and more experienced gladiators. If spirit of uncertainty exists Auburn will sweep the Howard crew off it's feet within the first 10 minutes of play. Towards line is fine, and will assuredly resist the plunges of the Auburn backs. If Auburn piles up big score then Auburn Will have demonstrated that its team IS worthy, indeed, and Alabama had bet ter look out.
 As a result of yesterdays game in Blr- mingham there is & pretty good line Of dope as to how the game between How ard and the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical school, Saturday week In Birmingham, will terminate. Wednesday the Agricultural and Mechanical school of Mississippi defeated the Southwestern Presbyterian university by d score of | to O. Howard won yesterday, to 0. On account of Towards fumbes yesterday the score was kept down. If the fumbles are cut out the indications are that How ard will defeat the Mississippi crew in Birmingham next Saturday when the two meet

Lunus That Are Starved.

It is a fact that most of us are victims of our own lazy respiration and deprive ourselves of oxygen that is so necessary If we would keep our bodies at that high est point of efficiency, says the DelInea- tor for September.
 Oxygen Is absolutely necessary to the existence of animal life. Man gets oxy. gen from air breathed into his lungs.
 Besides introducing oxygen into the blood, the lungs acts as excretory organs. removing undesirable elements from the system at each expiration.
 In ordinary or unconscious breathing. only ten to thirteen per cent of the air in the lungs is changed at each breath. leaving eighty to ninety per cent of the lung capacity filled with stale air.
 Forced or conscious breathing Of pure air ventilates the lungs, driving out the eighty to ninety per cent of the stationary or stale air.
 All bedroom windows and doors should be wide open during sleep. thus connect ing the lungs directly with the pure air of the outside world.

SALOONS CLOSED
 BY MAYORS ORDER Says They Will Probably Never
 Be Reopened WARNING TO LIQUOR MEN In Ringing Statement Ward Says So Long as the Present Administra- ton Is In Control Saloons Will Be Regulated.

By the orders of Mayor Ward three saloons were closed up yesterday after noon by Officer Fully This is a result of the arrest of ten women in saloons by Policeman Gates. Not only did the Mayor close the saloons, but In a ringing state ment he declares that he does not be- lieve they will ever be reopened.
 He states that, although the whisky men have made up their minds that they cannot be regulated, and talking to them does not good, so long as he is In office actions will tell, and they will be- regu lated.
 Here is the order of the Mayor:
 October 3, 1907. "W. E. wier, Chief of Police:
 Dear Sir-You are hereby instructed to close the following saloons and keep same closed until the next meeting of the Mayor and aldermen:
 Blue Goose saloon, Price & Sanders, Twenty-fifth street and Second avenue.
 Blue Front saloon, McVay, Twenty fourth street and First alley.
 "E. W. Pattons saloon, Twenty-fifth street and Second avenue.
 ''On Tuesday, October 1. many negro women were arrested In the premises of the saloons and 10 were convicted in Judge Feagins court on October for violating section 1061 of the city code. Very truly, GEORGE B. WARD"
 When asked for an expression on his action the Mayor made this strong state ment:
 Section 1Os1 of the city code provides that women shall not enter saloons. Two of the women convicted were caught in the Blue Goose saloon, two in McVay's s and six in Patton's.
 Every saloonkeeper in the city of Bir- mingham knows that it is sufficient cause to close his saloon If women are caught therein Yet these men continue to invite their trade.
 ''It seems the whisky men may have made up their minds that they cannot be regulated. Talking to them accom- plishes nothing.
 q want the people of Birmingham tnd these men to understand that as long as this administration Is in control this regu- lation will proceed.
 Heretofore the Mayor and aldermen have sometimes relented and reinstated saloons that were closed up. do not be- lieve that in the future any saloon which is closed will ever have the privilege Of reonenfnr,

goal. On a signal for forward pass, three of Towards men got under the spheroid and all tried to catch it, in- stead of blocking End Rogers As re- suit, Rogers got the ball, and sped down the field with it under his wing. Had Rogers not looked behind him, he would have scored. As 1t was, he was brought down on the ten-yard me. To go further was impossible.
 The first half ended with no scores.
 In the beginning of the second half Howard attempted a series of trick plays, but fumbles prevented much gain. After five minutes of play, by series of line plunges, and a well executed forward pass, Howard got within striking distance of the Presbyterian's goal. Jones carried the ball over for the first and only touchdown. c. Allen failed on goal.
 After Towards touchdown, both teams appeared heartless. The Presbyterans had no hope of being able to score, and the Baptists had won the game. There was nothing of startling nature pulled off during the remainder of the scrim- mage.
 Three men on the team of the South western Presbyterian university deserve special mention. These are Quarterback Robers and Ends Allen and Daniel.
 The teams lined up as follows:

A Hard Job.

 There is an old Irishman fin Baltimore who for many years was prosperous as a grocer. Not long ago, however, the old fellow lost his all in "a side line" and was compelled to look for job. Through the influence of friend he was offered the position of crossing tender at a small railroad station in Maryland.
 The Celt looked dubious as the duties of the office were explained to him and the meaning of the various flags was stated.

PresbytefiaRs Take Advantage Of BaPtsb' CrudensSS
 and InacCuracy
HOWARD SHOULD HAVE
 MADE A BIG SCORE
Sparks Jones Scored In Second Half. Quarterback Rogers Made Spec tacuIar Run-No Gaining
 Through Howard Line.

There was considerable surprise ard some disappointment yesterday afternoon when Howard college was able, with diff culty, to achieve only narrow victory over the Southwestern Presbyterian uni versity by score of to O.
 The visiting team was at great dis advantage in that it was outweighed by 17 pounds to the man. In addition the Southwestern Presbyterian university had just come from Starkville, where a game was played day before yesterday with the heavy team of the Agricultural and Me chanical college of Mississippi.
 The reason that Howard was able to pile up so few points was on account of it's crudeness of play. it's 1naccuracy in the operation of it's formation, It's ln- tolerable slowness and numerous fum- bles. Everyone who saw the game readily perceived that Howard outclassed the lads from the mountains of Tennessee, in spite of the small score and hard fight that 1t had in making that score Through out the game Towards line was impreg- nable, and it is a fact that the Presby- terians never once made first down on straightforward football.
 In truth the Presbyterians profited chify from the mlseues of Howard, rather than from any efficiency of their own. Early in the game the visitors perceived that 1t had an impossible task in attempt ing to go through Towards s line or around it's ends The visitors, therefore, were of necessity compelled to adopt the bunting tactics-a game wholly on the Jofa

Towards Outlook.

While on yesterday, the offensive oper- ations of Howard were rather weak, 1t took no scholar of the game to note that the Baptist aggregation, as soon as It learns to get off on the jump and to swing to the ball in all crises, gives much promise. It's defense was excellent, there is no controverting that statement. It's men are heavy and strong. They are lm- bued with the proper spirit. They give the impression of youths who desire earnestly to learn. They have number Of eX- celleat plays, and many strong forma- tions When these plays have been mas tered Howard will be a worthy rival for any other team in the state.
 The lads from the mountains are bold in their efforts and full of grit. In the first place the material Is not good, the men. as a whole, being too light, In the second place they need coaching, the teaching of some modern formations and modes of attack. In the offensive de- partment of the game they were as chaff before the wind. They had no more chance of gaining against Howard than in ploughing through a brick wall. They are fast enough and determined. They simply did not know what to do with the ball when they got it.
 On account of the inability to gain on the part of the Southwestern Presbyterian university and the numberous fumbles on the part of Howard the game was list less and uninteresting. There was good crowd out to witnes sthe battle, and this crowd out to witness the battle, and this there was nothing which made a mans blood run cold, or suggested to the strands of his hair to stand separate and distinct. It must be understood, of course, that the season Is very young and yesterday was almost too warm for football.

The Visitors Defense.


 The halves were of the proper length, 20 and 15 minutes, The umpiring was fair and pleased the players. There was a pleasant dearth of wrangling. The men were considerate of the patrons, and failed to lay out more than usual. The teams kept playing, this fact serving to keep the people watching.
 In the beginning. after the visitors had kicked off, 1t looked as if Howard would pile up a big score. The Baptists took the ball under their arms, and for few minutes swept the visitors off their feet Their attack was rapid and to the point piercing the line now with heavy for nation, or a delayed pass, and then skirting the ends rapidly and with deter imitation.
 The Presbyterians rallied. however, when Howard had placed the ball on their 20 yard line. and futilely attempted to crush the opposing human wall. Mcleod was forced to kick. From that point, the ball was see-sawed about the field, all ways in Towards possession until a tumble occurred. Then the Presbyterians put the toe of mountain leg under the pgskin and sailed it toward the opposing goal.
 In the first half, Howard was successful chiefly in sending s. Moon through the line on a delayed pass. The forward passes in-t tho first half were failures. as a rule, although in the second half this form of attack worked to advantage.
