Tuscaloosa. October 7.-CSpecial)-The University of Alabama has had numerous football teams, good, bad and indinerent' but never before one more problematlc than that of the preso season.
 It is true that the overwhelming victory over MaryVille came as surprise 10 the student body, to the friends of the university all over the state, and to the players themselves. But in spite of this fact, even though the team last season was able to score but one touchdown against MaryVlle, no student of the game would state that the present Alabama organization is as excellent as its pred ecessor In the first place, there Is no Auxford Burkes who could gain even though brick wall was before him, and of whom Auburn stood in mortal terror. In the second place. there is no Tom Sims. the big linesman from Birmingham, who has on more than one occasion wad- ed through Auburn's line with half d dozen men hanging to him. Furthermore. the team this season is made up of green material there being few men who be- fore this season knew a football from pomegranite.
 However, Alabama's team is far from weak, and will develop fast. The ma terial is there The present team will average 170 pounds In the majority Of cases, the players are young, full of en- thusiam and college spirit. and many a football game has been won on ac- count of the superabundance of ginger in an inferior organization. Alabama will win the majority of the games on its schedule. There is no doubt of that fact Coach Pollard is an excellent trainer of men. The team appears per fectly willing to learn. The material, as a whole, is good The esprit de corps Is excellent. This is combination hard to beat.
 At this stage of the game, however, Alabama is slow. The boys got off too slowly in the game against Maryville Saturday afternoon This may have been due to the consuming heat, and the fact that the season is just blooming. But 1t

It has been a matter of general and favorable comment. that, as whole the prohibition campaign up to now, has been conducted on a high plane. It has been realized by people on both sides of thls question that thoughtful, respectable and moral men and women were both for and against prohibition
 It is therefore, to be deeply regretted that on Sunday afternoon, at the Je1er- son theatre, the Rev. George stuart, the Methodist evangelist from Georgia, speak ing for prohibition under the auspices oi the central campaign committee, saw ht to make statements and express opinions. wfich every self-respeeting and honorable man and woman, regardless of their posi- tion on this question, should earnestly resent.
 Thousands of the best men and women of Jefferson county do not believe in pro hibiton as remedy for the whisky evil. They realize that 1t does not stop the sale or the use of whisky, simply trans ferring it from the open and licensed saloon to the blind tigers, the express offices and walking and the bedding bar room.
 The only question involved, either from a moral or a business standpoint, is not whether one is for or against whisky. but is he for the legal sale or the illegal sale of whisky.
 Some days ago there was published list of over hundred names of men in this community who oppose prohibition. These men were representative men in every walk of life Some of them were Identified with church work, and in all things religious and moral. tending to the uplifting and bettering of our moral status they have always been found.
 Is 1t fair. honest or truthful to place them as a part of a devilish procession

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC

which heated imagination and biased reason have created to damn and debauen our city and county?
 Are the pure, sweet women of our coun- ty who follow their own and their nus bands and fathers Judgment on this question: to be made To march under the banner of "Our Virtue for Money?' Does the campaign committee of the prohibition party and the good women who are fight ing with them stand for Billingsgate like this?
 Do vou give your consent and indorse- ment to charges like these which are meant to damage the good name and character of some of our best women who do not agree with yon2
 Do you indorse, either by silence or otherwise, these words from your speak CT which are aimed at the character ot the men who had the courage of their convictions and signed their names to the campaign committee opposing prohl- bition?
 The Rev George Stuart's words at the Jefferson theatre Sunday were as fol- lows:
 Now what can l find to put at the tall of this procession? What can l find 10 equal these others? Shall 1t be skunk? The buns would outstlnk II. No am going to put there the so-eallea respectable business men who stand iot the saloons solely on business princlpIes, See the procession as it moves on. smell it and choose for yourself.
 These were the words or the heN, George Stuart, minister of God, uttered last Sunday afternoon in the Jenersoh theatre. while speaking under the auspices of the central committee for prohibitions of which MT w. l.. Sessions is chairman. PROPERTY OWNERS AND GOOD

Bad Tactics Al Auburn

Howard returned yesterday from it's trip to Auburn on which the local boys were badly beaten, 23 to O.
 The locals make no excuses for the de- feat, save that Sparks Jones, fullback, was out of the game on account of an in- jury received in the Howard-S. w. P. L.. game in Birmingham two days previous. In spite of that fact however, when ques- tioned, they do state that Auburn resorted to dirty tactics in more than one instance. Coach Counselman would make no state ment relative to this matter.

M'CAFFERTY TO BE
 RESTORED TO HONOR

New York. October T.--Announcement Is made that J J. Mccafferty. well-knowu horse owner and trainer and one of the picturesque figures of the turf today. will be restored to good standing in racing affairs through the clemency of Thomas II. Williams, president of the California Jockey club. in withdrawing a decision ruling McCafferty off the turf.
 The action under which McCafferty was ruled off In San Francisco two years ago followed official investigation of charges made against each other by McCafferty and c. F.. Durnel. which caused the San Francisco turf officials to impose fines on both. Later more charges caused both men to be ruled off, but Durnell was recently reinstated
