JACKSONVILLE TO
 MEET HOWARD

Anniston November 11.-(Speeial. )-Thc football game between the Jacksonville Normal college and Howard college. which will be pulled off here next Sat urday. will by all means be the biggest sporting event of the year in Anniston. The two teams are about evenly matched and playing under very similar conditions the game promises to be a close one.
 Coach Wells of the Jacksonville team has excellent material with which to work and he is holding it into first class form The men are working much faster than at the first of the season, their plays are executed faster and their defensive work is decidedly more effect i've. Paul Stevenson, Clarke, Watkins and Sargent have been doing the feature work for the school up to the present. Stevenson received his Initial training at the university; Watkins played at Se- vance, being a member of the famous football family of that name. and Sar- gent and Clarke each played one sea- son at Auburn. It is probable that other new men will be in the game Satur- day as Kyle Elliott and Snyder of Giads- den and Arthur Slattery of Anniston are promising additions

and other new plays which have rendered the new style football so popular with the spectators.
 Georgia's Great Punter's.
 And in Hodgson and Derrick they have two kickers of rare ability. Hodgsons goals from placement were the feature of the Clemson game and every day he is improving. Field goals from the 40-yard line can be looked for Saturday. And Derricks bunting is another feature of the Georgia offense. His long, soaring spirals rarely fail to cover 50 yards of the chalk marked gridiron. and often he gets away with good ones for 50 yards or more.
 If hard preparation counts for anything Coach Pollard's bunch from Tuscaloosa will meet the hardest proposition they have struck this season when they tackle Georgia Saturday. And unless the Ala bamians show decided improvement the Georgians will capture the battle. Any way 1t looks to be of the best mix ups of the day in Dixie and some good football is looked for.

FRENCH LOOKING
 VERY FAR AHEAD

Paris, Monday. November 2-An in- stance of the aeroplane enthusiasm in France, ana of at least one mans con- viction that it will not be long before aer- oplanes will be hourly circling over Paris, is found in the erection of an elevated aeroplane station as commercial venture in the heart of the metropolis. An inter- estin8 point about this departure is that 1t is to be located on the roof of a large building. The roof of this structure, which is now building at the corner of the Rue de la Lune and the Boulevard Ponne Nou- velle, will be transformed into a great terrace, artistically bordered with shrub bery. Here will be found all the neces- sary paraphernalia of service in connec- ton with the arrival and departure of aeroplanes.
