PART II.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.


So long as there is football in the United
States-and, judging by the present tenn
per of our young men and old. thai
period will be as Indefinite as the possible
life of baseball--it is assured that grea'
portion of the general public interest WI
be attached to the contests among the
larger Eastern universities, for 1t rs among
them that the American game had Its ear
Tier development.
1t is only within the last decade thai
football obtained it's strong hold on the
West. Twenty years ago 1t was pract,
cally unknown, except as the Western mer
returned from the Eastern universities
and tried to explain it to their companions
and friends.
In view of the surroundings in the East
which add greatly to the popularity OF TINS
sport. the large cities. with their hundreds
of alumni adjacent to the universities
most of them men who are as enthusiastic
over the contests twenty years after grad.
uation as they were when they attended
college. and the masses of population. who
are ever eager to be attached to something
which eXacts large public attention. 1t is
not surprising that the excitement which
rises out of contest between Yale and
Harvard. or between Yale and Princeton
or between Pennsylvania and Harvard,
when these universities meet on the grid
iron, should spread beyond the mountains.
More than that Is the university senti.
ment, which is built up through he West
and Middle West. and in the South by

accurate. Another candidate for centre Is
Clark.
When 1t comes to the position of quar-
ter back Princeton this year must face
the same problem as Yale and Harvard.
Last fall it looked easy for Princeton with
Dillon assured as the general of the team.
This year new man must be chosen.
Very likely that honor will fall upon
Dawson, unless there Is a player more
competent developed by the middle of
October or the first of November. Dawson
has had experience on the varsity squad
and in varsity games, and he seems to
take to football with the natural keenness
which goes a long way toward bringing a
quarter back to the speed which is de-
|mand of him. Cunningham may be tried
as quarter, and there are also Bard and
Bergen, but Dawson seems 10 have the
preference If his game this season Is up to
that which he played against Yale last
fall.
In the back field Princeton has great
deal of tinkering to do before Mccormick
will be satisfied. Eddie" Hart, one OF
freshman class. will surely be one of the
tulty with his examinations Cunningham
will be out for place and White, fair
freshman last year. will try for q position.
| Read. who In 1908 at times played with the
| speed of Tibbott. and at others fell of
| badly in his work, will try again for the
back field and without doubt will be used
lin some of the games.

NOT SURE ABOUT MILLER

Rumor has 1t that the now vacant o61ce of City Veterinarian is playing . most important part in the nxht be- tng made to oust Fire Chief Browder. # is currently reported that the man in the minds of the opposition for MT. Browder,s place has prUmised to re- move Jack Cook. the present incuna- bent of the once of City euperintand- ent of Stock. It is further rumored that the Mayor-elect win then appoint pr. Saul, Alderman from Ward Seven. or pr. Miller. who makes his head quarters at pr. Saui's hospital
 The minutes of the City Council show that the ordinance creating the offce Of City Veterinarian was fsther- cd in the Council by Alderman Saul and it ia stated that after the oface was created. he sought to have Dr. Miller appointed to the place by Mayor Teague. The records of the city services Of . veterinarian cost the city but sss.6o, and the medicines bought In addition did not exceed STo. Du- ring thst year the city had no Super intendent of Stock. nor was there a City Veterinarian. Under the ordin- veterinary work cost s1.2oo for the same period.
 F1emming, who was appointed City Veterinarian when the ofice was cre- atsd. served but few months and Was removed from offfce at his own re. quest. He Is credited with the state pment that there was nct enough for him to do. and. as pr. Flemminr stated the salary of the office was an unnecessary expense on the tax payers oe the city.
 Saul Interviewed.
 Alderman Saul. when asked if he would be appointed City veterinarfan in the event that the office is re-crs- ated, said:
 ''You may say that I do not want the off1cc. am not candidate 'for the place, and I would not have 1t fs offered to me on a silver platter"
 The doctor was asked if Dr. Miller would be appointed. and in reply said; 7 "oh. that is Q very different thing.

ing to ovemcome the sentiment which fs said to exist against the amendment in Madison According to reports. the amendment would lose In Madison by a large vote if the election was held now, but the prohibitionists are more active in that county than any other in the State,
 It is generally said that Senator Spragins is personally stronger than any other man in Madison. and that his leadership in any fight would be certain of large following. It Is characteristic ch of him to get into a fight when opportunity Is offered him and no surprise Is felt in Montgomery that he wants to meet the Governor and thrash out their differences before a Madison County audience.

LLG0VERNOR ACCEPT GAGEp Is Challenged to Amend ment Debate. SPRAGNS ASKS QUESTION State Senator Offers Conner Fine
 Opportunity. Aiabams's Prohisition's Chief Thus Far Has Made No Reply te the sug-
 gestion--The HIeetfnx
 Promises Much.

If Governor B. B. Conner accepts the challenge. State senaaor Robert E. spragins. the leading exponent of local option in the Alabama Legislature, will meet him in joint debate, when the Governor speaks at Huntsville on Monday.
 Senator Spragins has asked Governor Conner for division of time, but up to a late hour last night he had heard nothing from the request. The Gov ernor has been on a tour for the past two days. however, and spoke yester- day in Union Springs. He probably will announce today whether he will or will not give Senator Spragins the division of time asked for.
 The meeting between the Governor and Senator Spragins would be the most notable debate that could be held. inasmuch as Senator Spragins is not only regarded as one of the strong pos- sible candidates for Governor on the local option ticket but because in the Senate he was one of the most uncom- promising opponents of the Governor.
 Senator Spragins occupies a unique place in State politics. He came to the State Senate in a hopeless minor- ity. He was opposed to the greater portion of the Governors railroad pro- gram and harshly criticised it. when the prohibition fight was sprung in the Legislature the strongest fighter against the program was the Senator from Madison. Because of the fear less record he made In the Legislature, Senator Spragins Is looked upon as one of the principal leaders in the fight against the amendment.
 The campaign on the amendment has already started in Madison. and among politicians, it is said that a special fight Is being made in that county for the amendment in order that 1t shall carry Madison. and to that extent af- feet Senator Spragins's chance for the Governorship.

 Dr. Saul asked that it be stated that pr. Miller is not in his employ that there is no connection between them other than the fact that Dr. Mtiier's offices are at pr. Saurs hos. pitai.
 Chief Browder says that as long as he is Chief of the Montgomery Fire Department and Mir. Cook does hls work as we'll as he has in the past he will retain him on the force; that It he can help it, no other man shall have the care of the Fire Department stock The Chief says that he does not care who doct9vs the stock of otner s. ae veterinaf .an, he is certainly satisfied with MT. Cook to care for the stock of his department. k Position ef Council.
 The lineup of the City Council in the fight on Chief Browder Is now said by his friends to be slightly in his ia vor. They say that pledged to him are Aldermen Ruth, Moritz, Thompson and Parrish. They further claim thss an. other Alderman will either vote with these four in support of Chief Brow der. or he will absent himself from the meeting. Alderman 0unter, the Mayor elect, is out of the city, and Is not ex- pected to return until the light Is over, Twelve votes Of the whole Council are required to pass an ordinance over the Mayors veto, and 1t ia certain that Mayor Teague will veto the ordinance seeking to make the onice elective by the Council. The figures given by Mr. Browder's friends would tend to show that the twelve votes cannot be marshalied by hts opponents.
 Chief Browder continues. confident of his re-appointment, and says that there Is not a chance to beat him. He has received a number of letters from citizens and others pledging to him their support.
 The business men of Montgomery do not hesitate to express themselves m favor of Chief Browder.
 George H. Walker, Manager Of the National Cotton oil Company. said:
 "on August 15 we had ct our plant very serious fire, which originated in our seed warehouses The nuiid ing was a frame one and the danger to the other buildings very great. The fire spread rapidly and it was in a fair way to destroy the entire plant. The prompt response of the Fire Depart. ment Is all that saved us, and had 1t not been for their untfrfng and em- ctent work, our plant should certainly have been a total loss"
 B, H. Abrams, of Atlanta. State Agent of a prominent fire insurance company. in letter to Noses Moore of this city. says:
 "Personally. am very much inter- ested in the fight now being made In your city against Fire Chief BrowdAr. So far as I can, you and he may de- pend upon me to render him any aid that is worth while. In my whole ter titory. without disparaging the merits of other Chiefs of Fire Departments in other cities. I believe that MT. Browder has qualities which make him the most efficient man in his position of whom I know. do not believe the City of Montgomery will be so foolish as to dispense with his services"
