LANNON'S TEAM WILL MEET PRATT'S
 NEXT TUESDAY

Anniston' October s.-(Special.)- Coach Hannon of the Alabama Presby- terian college put the Predestinarians through their final scrimmage Friday afternoon before they meet the South . ern university squad which will ue brought to Anniston on next Tuesday by Derrill Pratt. This will be the first time that two pupils of pr. Pollard, the wizard of the gridiron, have placed opposing teams on the diamond, and this fact lends additional interest to the meet
 The Tuesday game will be the first that the Predestinarians have played this season, and it will, in measure, indicate the quality of work done by the two young coaches, Pratt and Han- non, both of whom are realizing on the lessons they learned while at the top of the ladder with the crimson and white aggregation. Following the game with the Greensboro squad Hannon will send his men against Lonnie Noojin's boys of the Blountsville Agricultural college, when another fast battle is promised.
 In the initial game Hannon is count ing strong on his back field. Wilson at full supported by Underwood; Al len and Archibald at half, and Captain Klein at quarter, making formida ble appearance on the practice field against the scrubs. They have all seen service on college class teams, scrub elevens and prep. school teams, Klein and AL len having played with the team last year, while Archibald, then with the Selma Military academy, was the strongest man that came against the Predestinarian last year.
 lannon's ends are light, Bump AL len being a comparative midget al- though he has the genuine fire and gln- ger, with speed to burn. Larry Brown is not very experienced, having only played class ball at Auburn, although he Is getting in good condition. Haynes and Ford, who are also trying for this position, will undoubtedly be worked at times.
 In the line Archibald is sure man

Todays race was one of the greatest ever run in this vicinity, approximately 50O.0O persons being massed along both sides of the eight miles of roads through picturesque Fairmont park. Not a seri- ous accident was reported due to the rac- ing machines, but there were numerous mishaps incident to such a big gather ing. The most serious accident befell al Simplex car on the dangerous curve at Sweetbriar. Ralph Beardsley, driver, turning at a terrific speed, ran into al railroad bridge. The car was upset He mechanician, Glen Etheridge, sustained fractures of the arm and legs, but is not otherwise badly hurt. Beardsley escaped with severe bruises.
 The race for first place between Zenglel and Mulford was thrilling and enthusias- tically cheered. Mulford led the first four laps when Erwin R. Bergdoll, al wealthy Philadelphia amateur driver, passed him. Bergdoll drove a Benz car, which developed engine trouble whilel holding the lead in the sixteenth lap. It gave out in trying to climb hill on| Neill drive, and Bergdoll had to de- clare himself out.
 Then Mulford and Zengle raced. The. former led on the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth laps but had to stop forI supplies and Zengle commanded the next three by bare margins. The twenty third lap found Mulford in the lead byI one second, and he finished the twenty fourth nine seconds in front of Zengle.. Finally, at the finish of the race, Mulford. passed the stand 3.29:13:30 amid tremen- donus cheers. and 1t was thought the victory was Mulfords. Zengle started In the race 80 seconds behind Mulford, and it was thought he would not be able to beat Mulfords time. Suddenly, how ever, the daring Zengle shot past and the timers announced 3.29:07:sS, the victory going to Zengle.

AUBURN'S NARROW ESCAPE

 The contest was marked by exceptional excellence of kicking, both Majors for Auburn and Jennings for Mississippi star ring in this particular There was noth- ing to choose between them. Once Mis- sissippi tried for goal from placement and Auburn for a drop kick, but neither availed
 The game was tensely fought but was devoid of long runs, the only spectacular dash being that of Stret in returning a punt for 40 yards. Newell got away once, too, in the first period, but only for about 20 yards.
 Captain Pollard of Mississippi was the star of the visitors and Hadley and Will Hams were brilliant, the one on defense and the other on offense. Cogdell's game and Shirlng's at end were examples in defense and Allen at tackle and Captain Davis were good at all stages. Caton and Bonner were in the Auburn lineup with out a day of practice in two weeks or more.
 The display of student spirit was re- markable, practically every man taking part in processions about the field.

RAGING ON COAST
 PROMISES WELL

New York, October S.-(Special) )-Ton H. Williams, president of the California Jockey club, will leave for San Francisco Sunday night. He is greatly pleased with the success that has met his efforts to procure horses for the coast tracks, and said tonight:
 ''The coming racing season on the coast will be the most prosperous one in the history of coast racing. Many famous race horses will be seen there this year even though we are racing under a new set of rules and laws that will in d measure take away a good bit of sport in horse racing.
 'To me the racing situation in New York is sad sight, and what used tc be the greatest racing center in the world is a mere shadow of its former self } think that eventually the laws prohibit ing betting will be abolished and old con ditions will prevail Betting on horst racing is what fosters breeding of th6rI oughbred horses and the thoroughbred horse is an absolute necessity to thd country.
 II don't wish to be understood as say| ing that I favor betting. It Is immateria to me, but I think man should bd allowed to place wagers on horse racd if he wants to. The whole game of lf4 is nothing but a chance, not whit dlfl ferent from betting on horse race. I'd those who can afford it, 1t is simply q pleasure and adds zest and life to thd race. It is no different than a man whd takes chance in opening a businesi where there is strong competition. Of course, excessive betting by people wht cannot afford 1t is a menace to publid morality, but that could be fixed by, proper legislation. This will be done and soon, for as soon as the people real ize that the future of the American thor oughbred horse is in danger they vii demand that betting laws, modified, II necessary, to protect the families of men who cannot afford to bet, be enacted and in my opinion it won't be long be fore such laws are passed.'

off ran it rapidly to the 25-yard line, only to lose it on downs. Noone then planted his mountain leg under the oval, and it skinned down the field to Clem- sons 25-yard line. And neither team thereafter was able to accomplish much. The quarter ended without a score.
 In the beginning of the second quar- ter, however, Clemson opened its rapid fire of forward passes. many of them go- ing from two and three hands before hurtling through the air. Howard was nonplussed. AS a result, within two minutes Clemson found itself on How ards 10-yard line. and on buck over Taylor and Dunsmore, Bissell took the oval across the line. He then Kicked ms own goal.
 A few minutes later, with Clemson within striking distance of Towards goal. Ouarterbacn Connelley directed his fire to the weak side of Towards line again and over Taylor Bates went for the second touchdown. Bissell, in spite of high wind and a dangerous angle kicked a beautiful goal.
 Without Interference Millikan Fails Both teams fought doggedly in the third section of play, but Clemson was lucky enough to receive forward pass from Quarterback Millikan of Howard and got
 across the line for the third touchdown. Bissell kicked an easy goal. The third quarter ended with Howard on Clemson's 20-yard line and play began at that point when the fourth was opened.
 l Luck broke for Howard in the begin | ming and tumble was recovered on 1 Clemson's 10-yard line. But the distance could not be made Then Howard was fortunate enough to recover one of it's l forward passes on Clemson's 11-yard line.
