HARRIS HAD RECORD TEAM

Albertyille, November 27.-tSpecial.)-
 The football season of 19lO-n was brought
 to a close on Thanksgiving Day with the
 annual game between the Agricultural
 school and Butler High school of Hunts
 vile, resulting in a victory for the home
 team by the very decisive score of 52 to O.
 It must be said to the credit of Coach
 E. E. Harris, more familiarly known as
 Rabbit" to those who have kept "tab'
 on Auburn elevens for the past four
 years that .Albertville has been repre- sented on the gridiron this season by
 the strongest team in the history of foot
 ball here, and one of the strongest prep. teams in the state. Congratulations are
 being showered on him by the friends Of the sport in this place, for everyone realizes that his knowledge of the game
 end the influence which he exerted over
 his men played no small part in the success of the season.
 | The following record speaks for itself: Albertville b, Gadsden Athletics 0; AL
 bertville 5, Anniston Predestinarians 6;
 Albertville 21, Jacksonville Normal Q; | Albertville s, Blountsville 2; Albertvile 52, | Butler 9. | In former reports much credit has been | given to the teams backs and ends, and justly so. However. Selman at center, Allen and Porter at guards and the two l giant tackles. Parker and Lister, have
 proven Wall of strength, constituting q line not yet moved by an opposing team. Chick lannon's Predestnarians left Albertville on the night of October 10,
 congratIlating themselves that Frank Aliens toe saved them from shutout l at the hands of Harris mountaineers. However, lannon's men have the distinc- tion of being the only team to cross AL bertville's goal line on merit.

Birmingham High school, 151; all opponents, 12.
 These are the unimpeaehable figures that tell the tale of the marvellous sue cess of Coach G. N Messers 155-pound high school team.
 Out of nine games played during the season just closed High school won eight, and the defeat at the hands Of the reserves of Auburn on Thanksgiv- ing day was virtually a victory. No one predicted that the prep team could hold the near-varsities to less than three touchdowns, and it is chronieled that the total number was one.
 The first six games of the season were clean shutouts, followed by a H. to-6 victory over Disque High school a shutout of Bessemer High school and

Marion, November 27.-(Special.)-- When the Marion institute closed it's football season Thanksgiving day by grinding to powder it's old rival, South = ern university, the pride of its coach, Derrell Pratt, to the tune of B to 0. there was then set at rest any doub t of Marion having one of the strongest and fastest teams among the smaller colleges of the state. From a rather gloomy outlook at the beginning of the season. having only two old men back the team at once developed into a machine-lilze organization, which be- came the fear and dread of all oppos-
 ing teams.
 In the first game of the season with the Fifth District Agricultural school of Wetumpka, composed almost entirely of old football stars, and outweighing Marion 20 pounds to the man, Marion showed wonderful work for a raw team by not allowing the big team from We tumpka to score and keeping them con- tinually backed up against their goal line. The next game, played with the University of Alabama, at Tuscaloosa, Lul lDCI SllOWc cu ludl would be heard from in future games, for at one time they withstood the fierce on- slaught of varsity for five consecutive downs on their one-yard line. In the first quarter Alabama could not score and made few gains, and it was only after the hardest fighting that they made a touchdown in the second. In @ third d11a rfa Ma ri nate in having seven men hurt, with only three to substitute, giving Ala bama a great advantage, while they ran in some 10 or 12 fresh men. This gave them a chance to make a score otherwise impossible. It wass before Marion that Anniston first went down in defeat. Flushed with former vic tories, and with all her star players in the best of condition and confident of another scalp, they were sent away beaten II to 6 in game which clearly showed them unable to cope with the Marion aggregation. Besides the Ala bama game, the only game lost during the whole season was to Southern uni versity at Greensboro, October IS, by a single touchdown made on a fumbled ball, with several of Marion's best men out of the game.
 At Birmingham November Marion went against Birmingham college "Owenton"-a team again outweighing them 15 pounds to the man. Never in the history of football had Owenton been able to gain victory over Ma
 rion and this time also they were un- successful. During the first three quarters neither side semed able to make any noticeable gains, Owenton depending for the most part on their

Princeton lost one game to Yale. while the New Haven college lost two and tied two.
 Pennsylvania is the leading scorer of the Big Four with 163 points, eight more than Harvard Brown, which made a great record after the mid-season's games, ;overtops Pennsylvania in scoring and leads all New England colleges with 1a points.

 The trip home caused a rise in Sow ellis temperature and tonight it is 1O3 degrees. Dr. Murphy is authority for the statement that the only possibility of danger lies in the chance of infection, of which there are no indications.
 The return, of the navys victorious team was marked by rousing reception. One battalion of the brigade of mid shipmen met the special train and as the players stepped fYem the cars they were hoisted to willing shoulders and born to waiting hacks, in the shafts of which the horses had been replaced by midshipmen.
 They were met at the academy gates by another battalion and the academy band. Each marcher was furnished with a burn ing broom as the line marched to Ban croft hall, where a big crowd was wait ing with a big bonfire started. Here che players and coaches were cheered and forced to make speeches.
 A big mule, representing the army, was feature of the procession.

CORBIN LINE
SHOWS HAND
Build to This City and Occur
d'Alene Mining District

The filing Of articles OF incorpora-
tiOn by the Occur d'Alene & Pend
Orielle railway at Olympia yesterday
Is the preliminary step toward the
construction this summer OF two inn
portant feeders for the Spokane In
ternational railway.
The announced objects are to build
a railway from the Spokane Interna-
tional near section %, township 81,
range 5 west, southeasterly to Occur
d'Alene lake; also branch from the
Spokane International in section 33,
township So. range west, is miles
to Pend Oreille lake, and other
branches and extensions in Idaho.
Montana and Washington.
The incorporators are Austin Cor
bin. Albert Allen and George H.
Martin. Spokane is headquarters and
the capital is 5000. 900.
1t has been rumored in railroad
circles for weeks that arrangements
for the building of these two lines
had been practically completed and
that the work on both, and more es-
pecially the Occur d'Alene line,
would be rushed as quickly as posi-
BILE in order to capture a share Of
the tourist travel, which is heavy dur
ing the summer season.
To Tap Occur d'Alenes.
Another rumor regarding the plans
of d. c. Corbin, the real promoter of
both enterprises. is to the effect that
the Occur d'Alene line is the firsi
step toward his second invasion of the
Occur d'Alene mining district, he
having built the first railroad in that
section, a narrow-gauge line. from
Kingston to Burke, Idaho. which con-
nected by boat with the standard
gauge line, also built by him. from
Occur d'Alene to Hansen Junction on
the main line of the Northern Paci.
fic. Both these roads. as well as his
steamer line on Occur d'Alene lake
were taken over by the Northern Pa.
cific about 20 years ago.
This gives color to the report that
the proposed Spokane, Wallace & In.
terstate line is a part of. the Corbir
extension and will become a part OIL
the system. Such a line would give
the Spokane & International a bis
advantage over the other lines fol
business in the mining district. Il
/ would divert most of the travel from
the routes by the lake and over the
o. r. & n. between Spokane and
the Occur d'Alenes.
Gasoline Motor Cars Planned.
1t is reported that gasoline motol
cars are to be operated on the new
branches and also on the main lin'
of the Spokane International, be
tween Spokane and BOnners Ferry
Idaho, on certain passenger train
run on the pattern of su' urban troll
ley systems. II Is also stated on goo'
authority that the line between Spo
kane and the Occur d'Alenes vii
later become electric.
