AUBURN SENDS CHALLENGE
 TO VANDERBILT FOR 1911


 Manager Trabue was dispatched No- vember 5, and is:
 q am now arranging our football schedule for next fall, and I hope that we can be able to arrange q game with Vanderbilt university. We shall be glad to meet your team in BIT mingham on November 12. Birming- ham is a great football town and l am sure that we will make big money. We will play there under a split-even con tract or else give you a cash guar antee."
 The reply of Manager Trabue. re- ceived here November [, declares that the matter will be brought to the games committee of the university.
 "I shall be glad to bring your prop osition to the attention of our com mittee I am sure we would like to arrange game with Auburn next year if it Is practicable to do so.'
 Manager Trabue suggests that Nash vile be selected as the site, as Van derbilt does not desire, he said, to dis appoint the strong local following in that city. which was deprived of a big game this year.

TULANE PLANNING TO WIN
 FIRST VICTORY FROM ALABAMA

lane has been outweighed from 12 to . pounds to the man, and with such han- dicap the locals had no show. Saturday Alabama brings down team averaging 151 pounds, and that gives them only one pound over Tulane.
 Facing the real game of the season. Mason is determined to win. Of all games. he said that this Is the only one in which Tulane was going in with an even chance to win, and therefore he wanted to show the fans that Tulane has bunch of lightweights oi which 10 be proud.
 There was heavy practice yesterday afternoon, and the men scrimmaged as though there was something more than a Saturday game in view. If Tulane will ever use a greater variety of plays, then it won't be this season. Mason is school ing the boys in every play that has been run off this year, and Alabama has many original ones left to run in Every block play on the football calendar was called in yesterday afternoon, and the men were kept on the field until dark.
 As both lines are evenly matched, Ma son is looking for open, spectacular work, and therefore he Is putting in much practice on these plays. Every play that the varsity runs off is always in turn given to the seconds, so that the first outfit will learn the defensive role of that play.
 During the game Mason is going to use two sets of back fields, and in that way play the fastest ball possible. There are now two such sets of backs in the squad, and Mason thinks that by keeping one of them comparatively fresh more will be accomplished.
 From now until Friday afternoon the squad will run through the hardest prac- tice of the season, and all with the fond hopes of beating what the Alabama boys think to be the gamest outfit in that part of the country.

Montgomery Gets Busy

Chicago, November IT, Specific census figures were still lacking when the board of arbitration of the National associa- ton resumed it's sittings today.
 While the Three I league is the only organization of clubs whose classifica- ton is known to be in real danger, the hopes of others are being deferred by the absence of population statements from Washington. The Texas league be- lieves its population has so increased as to justify the promotion of the organjza- ton from Class C to Class B.
 C. B. Jones, president of the Mont gomery club. announced that he had se- cured Clarence Brooks, a catcher, from Spokane, and William Elwert. a third baseman, from Toledo. Elwert broke into baseball four yeas ago al Pueblo.
 MT Jones also has secured Joe Bills, utility player. from Wilkesbarre, Pa, and Harry Hammond from Sioux City, Iowa. Bills was formerly a pitcher and speed merchant with the Memphis club. He is hard hitter.

CAPTAIN WADDII.L WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY-TEAM ARRIVES ON sPE- GAL TUESDAY AFTERNOON-TO STOP AT THE HILLMAN

Lexington, Va, November 17.-(Spe- cial. J-Quite a little gloom was dispelled from Coach Pollard's camp today when it was definitely announced that Cap tain Waddill. Washington and Lee star halfback, would be able to play in at least a part of the Thanksgiving game in Birmin gham. Waddill has been out of condition nearly all year, being kept from the Georgetown game with bad shoulder and later receiving an injury to his ankle in the contest against w.. P. I. On this account he was not able to get in the game at all last Satur day against North Carolina, but this weeks practice has finally determined that he will be in shape for at least one quarter and probably more against Alabama. Burk, halfback and end, will act as captain In Waddills place should the latter be removed.
 strenuous signal practice was held Wednesday and Thursday continuing far into the darkness. In addition to

 The men are in excellent physical condition, all the slightly injured hay ing fully recovered. Ted Birmingham, who was detained in Cambridge by a slight illness, reported at the Inn to- night and will take part in the signal practice tomorrow.

not do. Pratt and Yantz come hlghy recommended. and the dope favors HantH'
 The pitching staff Is doubtful quan- tity. Fleharty and Bauer will be back, but neither have ever done exceptional work in the Southern league Robinson might be restored, but even if he does return to the game, 1t is by no means settled that he will be the Robinson or old. Wagner Is coming back, and for utility pitcher and player, Wagner IS ideal. He is not strong enough, how ever, to do strenuous work regularly on the hill. Stockdale is a good man--if he doesn't latch on to some minor league club as manager. Two new fingers will come by draft-Prough and Chenault. Both are said to be excellent men. Ana Hub" Perdue may show up. If he does, and Chenault and Trough prove worthy, then we can sit still in the boat But if he doesn't come, and if neither of the "phenoms'' proves strong. then Bir- mingham will have to go out after an- other Covaleski
 But it looks as if Birmingham will be at least as strong as last season, if just one absolutely reliable pitcher is ob- tained, one on whom dependence can be placed every day throughout the season.
