Auburn, November S.-(Special.)- )-The manner in which football has progressed is shown fin the treatment of the game at Auburn. In former days one coach was sufficient Candidates, however. have be- come so abundant that three are now used.
 Ballet, famous old Princeton center rush of the mass play days, was the pio- peer football instructor at Auburn. The ponderous Princetonian is partly respon- sibe today for the magnificent discipline which has always featured Auburn's sys- tenn and which Coach Donahue recently enforced to discontinue of one of the star players who imagined because he was a star, that he could exercise the prerogative of a prima donna and do as he liked"
 Mike Donahue and John McCrohan were born in Ireland. Not only are they com patriots, but fellow townsmen. It was only recently that the two found tie in their birthpIace Mike did not know it before Mac came, and probably Mac would have come down from Princeton with more alacrity had he known 1t was to help fellow Fenian to teach boys or the south to be men.
 Mike Donahue is an athletic institution at Auburn He has been part of the college since the fall of 1904. And since he came the first time, just out of Yale to turn out an invincible team in his first year of coaching they have loved him here at Auburn. He is versatile and an athletic genius

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 BUSINESS IS FINE

David W. Longstreet, general freight agent for the Illinois Central railroad and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley looking over traffic conditions and to confer with local officers.
 He said he has soldem if ever wit messed such universal satisfaction over conditions as Is now felt. MT. Long street said the companies represented by him were handling an immense gross tonnage of freight which was keeping them extremely busy.
 T believe that freight business now is the best ever enjoyed by southern railroads,'' said MT. Longstreet. We have been hauling an immense tonnage all during the summer and now the freight business Is extremely good. The conditions would seem to be as flat tering as I have ever noted. In Bir- mingham we have been very well taken care of It Is our ambition to give Birmingham service as nearly perfect as we can devise. The business in Bir- mingham which Is annually enjoyed by the railroads entering here is something worth fighting for and we hope to be among those lines who of- fer attractive service for a portion of 1t.
 "The crop situation in Mississippi leads to the belief that no better freight season on that commodity has been enjoyed in years past. The cotton is now being moved to points for ex- portation and concentration which has us very busy mapping out the service. In Birmingham iron tonnage is dull but in other commodities the returns ara more than good"

Central University of Kentucky. Dan vile, November S.-Having bowled over Sewanee, 1s to o. Tennessee and also other southern colleges, the crack eleven from Central sidestepped to Lexington, Ky, and added another scalp by the respectable total of 27 to when Tran sylvania was beaten.
 When this team snow sewanee under it far exeeled even fondest hopes of it showed them that they have a team that bids fair to become the 1910 south ern champions.
 Centrars team is well balanced com prising heavy, fast line, with fleet. hard tackling ends and light, but aggressive backs. At quarterback Central is for tunate in having Clark, who, though weighing but IT pounds, combines good generalship, wonderful speed and neces- sary nerve.
 At tackles are the. famous Seelbach brother, Louis and William, the former captains the eleven this fall. Both are adept at making and receiving forwarc passes and their weight and speed make eachya tower, of strength on defense. The ends are well taken care of by Walker a hard worker and a sure tackler, and by Duffy who is famed as the best end playing in the south His speed combined with open field lodging make him ter TOT in broken field.
 Working alongside Of these stars Cen tral has two half backs who, at theil weight would be hard to equal anywhere in the college world. They are "Tobe' White. freshman from Louisville, Phil Pidgeon. a Memphis boy Both though, light. are fast and almost vicious in their interference. Pidgeon has been known to take out as many as three men at lick while running interference for a teammate.
 To fill out this back field nicely Cen tral has Ramsey. who is called 'The Hu- man Battering Ram here. He is speedy and plays the game every minute.
 Should the cardinal and blue team fn- ish the season with a clean slate, their claim to the title of southern champions will hardly be disputed, and Central fans to man are hoping that, when that hap pens a game can be scheduled with some big eastern or western college, the out come of which would establish more con- clusively the relative merits of southern

 TO BE HELD TODAY
EXECUTIVES BEGAN TO ARRIVE LAST NIGHT FOR CONFERENCE TO SUBMIT NEW PROPOSAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL

The meeting of executives of the rail- roads which have been called upon to erect viaduct on First avenue will be convened in Birmingham this morning at Il o'clock.
 The meeting will be important as it is expected that some final plan will be for mulated upon which the railroads will stand in the attempts to get together with the City Council for the building of q viaduct The meeting will be held in the offices of Tillman, Bradley & Morrow, and will be attended by about 25 men.

 The railroads were the instigators of the recent negotiations to construct viaduet on First avenue. They offered to build one on that thoroughfare with certain provisions. The offer was made to the council on behalf of the execu- lives by the local committee having in hand the Birmingham situation. The of ASi WoS iidbO by tHC SOuHCll lu tIe Id1l- road companies The offer made by the city was evidently unsatisfactory to the roads as it has never been answered, and 1t is presumed that the meeting to- day was called to discuss other plans and to give an answer to the offer made by the city.
 The railroads have given no intimation as to the nature of the new agreement that Is to be outlined. However 1t is re- garded as almost certain that a brand new proposition will be made the Ncity As the negotiations now stand, 1t is doubtful if any actual wark will be begun by January 1, which was the date set by the city In it's offer. Those who will be here will probably include, Henry B. Spencer, vice president of the South ern railway, chairman; Carl G. Gray. senior vice president of the Frisco: c. H.
