GREAT SCRIMMAGE IS PROMISED
 AS HOWARD MEETS TENNESSEE
GROUNDS AT 3,so o'CLoCK-PRoM- IsEs TO BE FAST AND FURIOUS THROUGHOUT

The University of Tennessee football squad. IS strong. arrived in the city last night at 10 o'clock and is quartered at the Birmingham hotel The team will tie-up with Howard college this after noon at 3:3O o'clock at the Alabama State Fair grounds.
 The game this afternoon promises to be freely fought one. The Baptists have put in three hours of work every day this week and are as fit as fiddles for the fray. The University of Tennessee eleven has also been hard at work, and Coach Stone expects his boys to smother the locals.
 The bracing football weather has but added to the interest of the game this afternoon. Both football players and fans have caught the spirit of conflict and there should be one hour of hard, clean football on the menu for the bugs this afternoon.
 The two teams have been getting bet ter week by week. Tennessee had the misfortune to go up against three of the strongest teams in the south, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Georgia, and in all she has met defeat, but not by any dis graceful scores. The team has been grad ually getting better and the development vile boys slightly the favorites over the locals. Stones boys will weigh in around 155 to 15s pounds, while Howard will tip the beam around the 152-pound figure.
 Tennessee Hopes to Climb
 Howard has spent week of the fiercest work that Donnelly has yet put it through. Starting with green linen, the Dartmouth instructor has "been up against it" from the start and lack of weight has also added to his troubles. In former years Howard had plenty of weight, but the bone and sinew of the student body this year Is not up to past seasons in bulk. Speed and fight will have to take the place of weight.
 Tennessee alumni and supporters in the city are wrought up over the game be- cause Tennessee is making a serious bid this year to regain her place in polite football circles. Fraternity troubles are given the cause for the failure of the past two years and the plucky boys of this season are trying to wipe out the disgrace of the last seasons defeats. It is for this reason that loyal supporters of the team are rallying to the Ten nessee banner
 The Howard college student body will be out in force this afternoon to root for the team. It will be the last appear ance of Howard on the local gridiron this season, the balance of the schedule including A. and M. of Mississippi, Chat tanooga and Mercer, to be played abroad It is for this reason that the Howard men are so anxious to win today's game.
