and gains of five. ten, fifteen and twenty yards were ripped off pretty consistently until three touchdowns had been scored,
 An interesting feature of the last five minutes of play was the shifting of Countess from center to fullback, where he had been worked little In signal practice. The only trouble about 1t was that he did not get a good opportunity to show what he could do as the final whistle blew a few minutes after the change was made. However. he was called upon once to advance the ball and he smashed the center for some several yards. If he could be spared from his position in the line. there is Ill., tie doubt but that he would make a redoubtable fullback, for he has pret. ty good weight, knows the game, and handles himself amazingly well for a man put up stockily as he Is.
 Yesterday afternoon the canvas was put up around the football field and practice was held in secret. There was no scrubbing. but the football machine got a good ofling so that 1t may run somewhat smoother when there is another lineup. There will be hard scrub games and signal drills during the next four or five days in preparation for the Howard game which will be pulled off on the cam. pus next Saturday. From the show. ing made by the Baptists last Satur. day in Montgomery. 1t seems that the varsity may have to let out some of its speed when the two elevens clash.

 At the down town offices of the club, clerks are swamped in the task of returning letters. estimated to con- tain many thousands of dollars for the reason that the reserved seat sup ply became exhausted last Saturday. Veterans of baseball games say they have never witnessed such an amaz- ing demand for seats.

 ABOUT GAME Reason for University's
 Poor Showing. SECRET PRACTICE IS ON Next Encounter Will Be With
 Husky Howard Boys. Showing Made Against Auburn by Baptist Bunch Raises Their Stock
 In General Football Circles

University, Oct. 5--(Special. )--Al- though Alabama won her opening game from Union College last Saturday. the game was not as satisfactory to the Crimson and White following as it
 It is true that the making of three touehdowns in the last half of twenty minutes duration was a pretty good piece of work. for the Union team was fully as heavy as Alabama. If not a little heavier: but then there was that first half with nothing to nothing score when the whistle for time was hlown.
 And duting the first part of the melee the boys from Tennessee had held Alabama for downs time after time and forced Captain Pratt to put his toe into the leather. Moreover, they frequently tore great holes in the Crimson and White line and circles the ends though they were never able to do this with enough consistency to put Alabama's goal line in danger from driving attack.
 It would be difficult and 1t might be unjust to attempt to place the blame first half of the set-to. In fact. the work of the whole team was rather ragged. both on the offense and de- fence. When the Alabainians had the ball, the Union forwards frequently tore through the line and bounced upon the backs before they could get well under way; then, too, the back-f1eld men did not help one another as they should. have done in putting up inter. ference and hiking.
 Almost invariably when 1t came to the matter of pushing, Alabama was thrown back. When Union had the ball, Alabama's line was punctured badly several times when one of the half backs would blow his way through both primary and secondary defense only to be tackled by one of the men in the back field. Once or twice these bucks looked very threatening. These holes were not due to the weak playing of the Varsity forwards, for they all scrapped pretty hard. but seemingly to their over-anxiety to get the man with the ball instead of blocking up all cracks that 1t would have been impos- sible for a whisper to get through.
 The work of the second half, how ever, made some amends for the poor play of the first period. Between the two fits Dr. Pollard held little con versation with bis warriors In which 1t is generally supposed that he did most of the talking as coaches usual ly do at that stage of the game. That his words had impinged was evident as soon as the team trotted out for the kickoff after the rest of ten minutes. Every play was driven home
