 one enthusiast, in speaking of Sat- urday.s coming game, said Thursday;
 Perhaps the heaviest football team ever turned out in the South will be seen In action Saturday. when the Louisiana State aggrega tion lines up against the team at A. P. |. To say the least, Auburn Is decidedly nervous over the outcome and realizes that it win take all the football knowledge and skill that can be obtained to over come such a worthy foe.
 Reports from Baton Rouge say that the team will average IS5 pounds to the man, which is about twenty pounds itself, this would be d serious handi- cap, but when it's taken into consid- eration that these heavyweights are not green men, but matured players of several years experience, then the task 9t obtaining victory will indeed be a desperate one.

 Addressing the Hundred Year Club. the leading woman's organization of Los An gels he said:
 "Corsets are good for tho reason that the torso muscles have been weakened for generations until now the average female form will not stand without them.
 'Tn the time of Queen Elizabeth they wore steel corsets tightly buckled in back and front, which were instruments of tor ture. From them are evolved the comfoTt~ able corsets of today.
 T doubt if the torso muscles of women could be supported in their weakened con dition after a generation of corset wearing except for some artificial prop"

ECHO OF STRIKE.
Two Cases Are Not Proven '
 Court

Court.
 Birmingham. Oct. 29.-(SneciaI Two more cases growing out of tba recent coal miners strike were dis. posed of Thursday morning by Judge Samuel L. Weaver, of the criminal Court.
 They were the cases against Eli and Nose Robinson. charged with ssault with a weapon on two officers during the strike. It was claimed the assault was committed about one hour after the house of Eli Robinson was blown up at Pratt City. and Judge Weaver said he felt like congratulating the of- ficers on getting off as light as they did. At the same time he did not cen suro them for making the arrests. not knowing at the time that Robinson was scared to death because his house had been blown up.
 It seems that Robinson and his bro- ther were away from home when the house was blown up. otherwise they may never have been able to have met the oficers At any rate. when they met two officers in the dark about an hour later they are said to have drawn their guns.

 Chicago, Oct. 29.-WiIlie Britt. of san Francisco, manager of Light weight champion ''battling" Nelson, stopped off in Chicago for a few hours Yesterday afternoon enroute from New York to the coast, and set at rest all doubt as to the pugilistic plans of the Dane.
 The rumors of Nelson fighting Mac Farland six rounds in the east or of meeting Johnny Thompson are all wrong. Nelson has only two fights in view, and heather of these is likely to come off soon. One of these battles Is to be with Packy Mcfarland.
 Negotiations for a fight between the Dane and Mcfarland have not even started. but I can say the battle will come off about New Years day As for the other fight. if 1t is arranged, 1t will come at some later date"
