 Owenton is stronger than ever before. In Jackson and Lambeth theylhave. two of the swiftest and hardest prep half backs ever seen in Birmingham. Perk : ins at quarter is an old player, having starred for several seasons. Rains at fullback is heavy and consistent ground gainer
 The Owenton line is unusually strong. During the past three weeks Coach Batson has developed a system of play that he feels confident will puzzle

 Captain Island Eagle and Tackle Rob- erts starred for the Indians. Island Eagle is the fastest man seen in Alabama this season. He is possessed of the speed of the winds and his courage is never failing.
 There is great joy in Tuscaloosa tonight. Coach Pollard was carried aloft on the shoulders of the students and Edwards IS the hero of the hour. The victory is es- necially pleasing on account of the fact that Alabama won without the strong aid of Reidy and Gresham and for long while with Pratt out of the game.

NORTHWESTERN MAKES HIT,

Northwestern brillfan return to the
western football arena Saturday was
one of the big features of the day The
green eleven, no man of which had
ever played in an intercollegiate game
before, simply walked away with Be
lott and won as 1t pleased Tied games
throughout the country indicated afresh
that the new style of the gridiron sport
has evened things up.
In past years such state of affairs
as Syracuse holding Princeton to a 10
too score and the Navy trying Har-
ward would have been almost unthought
of. The other big battle which ended
with both sides even was that between
the Indians and Pennsylvania. Open
play has given the weaker squads a
chance against the big fellows that
has certainly made the contests of
greater interest.
Michigan managed to down Ohio
State after getting a scare which the
wolverines will not forget for some
time. At the end of the first half the
buckeyes led, 6 to 4, but Michigan
managed after considerable toll to
shove a touchdown over the line, and
was returned the victor. Outside of
this game and that of the puppies the
West had a day comparative quiet

East Chicago, Ind, Oct 26.-East
Chicago won new laurels on the Saw
mill park gridiron yesterday by defeat
in gthe fast Whiting aggregation of
footballists to the tune of % to 0. The
game was by far the best played this
season on the local diamond, every play
being made with the necessary preci-
sion in throwing and judgment in
choice. Goal after goal was made
through the heavy Whiting buIwark
line and the latest mode of playing, the
forward passes, being used in abund-
ance. was noticeable throughout the
game.
Sternberg Plays Farewell Game.
Sternberg of the Harbor, who has
been playing with the team this sea-
son. played his farewell game yester-
day. Notwithstanding this fact, he was
easily the star of the afternoon, his
goal kicking and passing being one OF
the admirable features of the day. Fin
nerty, the recent eastern discovery
easily won a berth for himself on the
team. With but little signal practice
he was given a position on the line and
managed to distinguish himself
throughout the game Two goals were
attributed to his fast work and had
he been behind the line, there is but
little doubt that he would have shown
to better advantage. An aIl-feld run
led by Captain McShane towards the
end of the second half, resulted in an
other goal by the plucky little captain

A word must be spoken, however, for

tice, and their attempts to use the
more complicated plays usually met
with rebuttal They played a clean
game and to the entire satisfaction OF
some two hundred spectators. A slight
alteration between two of the players
and an outsider, however, resulted in
delay in the games progress and the
striking of several blows

East Chicago, Ind, Oct 26.-An eff

to attend the services at the local NJ.
E. church was made last evening when
DR.. j. H. Palmer announced as his dis
course for next Sunday evening, the
theme. THE Power and Force of the
Ballot Box" For the first time in the
present campaign, and obviously the
last, local pastor will handle the is
sues of the state campaign and show
the advisability of the county local
option question. The character of
Watson will be depicted and the con-
else handling of the economic prob
lens that now confront Indiana tax
payers offered by the Rev. Palmer. Ev-
cry voter is invited to attend this lee
ture which will bring together the
influence of politics and religion more
than any other sermon yet preached in

Has Good Audiences.
Rev. Palmer has been preaching to
splendid audiences for the past four
weeks. His theme last evening was
worthy master The Christian Con-
ception of the Universe" was the sub
ject The ever-present laws of nature
were discussed and the formula for true
religious happiness adduced-"The
Working of All Things Together for
the Good OF ALL" The continuance of
the same thoughts for ages and ages
brought the minds of the audience into
concentration upon the offerings of
Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and Newton
and resulted in a clearer understand
ing of the laws of life. The universe,
according to the pastor. is harmonious
combination of inanimate objects,
working together in transcendent unity
and moving toward one common and
sublime end, or destination. The dis
course was forceful and we'll handled
and would have done credit to a much
more experienced religious leader.

Promoter Lercari Has Had Enough of

Carlo Lercari is breathing easier over
the fact that he has Rudolph Unholz

inclination of bucking the fight trust"
again, however.
Unholz and Thompson are also some
what worried over the belief that they
may be put on the blacklist by the
other promoters for accepting bout
in an arena governed by different poll

a chance of the blacklist, however,
