mittee for selection of the umpire should be restricted to those members of the S. I. A. A. with which tine Crimson and White had no engage burn as another step forward to abso- lute fairness In so important a mat ter as~an umpire. There had been | suggestion also from the Orange and Blue that a method guaranteeing un- biased selection of the umpire was to leave 1t to the Central Board of the General Rules Committee of the United States. This the University seems to have preferred to the other method.
 It is very apparent now to those who have at all kept track of the nego- tiations that the Crimson and White have sought all along to preserve which Auburn objected It was the cause of continued dispute in the last clash of the rival elevens, It Is evil dent, too. that never will Auburn be sat ssd tha. the s.,Tnssis iSrTasisn' uR, known as ,s passed upon by some one thoroughly competent to judge 1t.
 The formation was used effectively against Auburn last year. If 1t is the style of play again. and If they are sat isfied that 1t Is within the rules. cer tainly they ought to be the first to puf 1t to the real test. that Is. the ruling petent body of men known to the foot bail world. This Is what the Uni. versity committee seems to have finaf ly decided to do. And for this reason 1t ais predicted that Auburn cannot but test.
 The two colleges are to be commend ed for their mutual concessions all through the efforts to come together The relations of the colleges were most strained at times. and even now the letter foregoing smacks of too in tense rivalry. It is to be hoped, how. ever, that the elevens will go in and play good, clean ball. with as little feeling as possible, and may the peS' team win.
 The following taken from The Blrm ingham Ledger, anent the recent game between Alabama and Howard Col. lege will throw some light on the mo- cessfty of a carefully selected umpire.
 "The writer himself saw seven plays put into execution by Alabama, one os which were illegal and violated one of the plainest rules of football. On one occasion. when the Alabama center snapped the ball, there were eight Ala was so apparent that even those who claim to know nothing about football groaned in spirit that referee or an umpire would allow such thing: On several occasions there were from three to five men in motion.
 Auburn is seemingly Justified In standing pat and calling for oficials who will not close their eyes to clear infractions of the plainest rules Coach Donahue, at Auburn, has probably taught his men plays that are executed inside the rules of football and it would be unfair to his team to have the men play In game where their and they themselves forced to play the game according to rules. Auburn Is right in demanding competent officials.
