UNDERWOOD, CITY AND STATE DOOMED Alden M. Wallace Is Very
 Optimistic UNDERWOOD WINNER Says Progress in Alabama Outranks Any Other Southern State-Is
 Greatly Surprised at Bir-
 mingham's Growth
UNDERWOOD WINNER

Alden M. Wallace, a former resident of Birmingham, is in the city for a few days He resides now in Montgomery, from which point he is the general sales agent for 2 well known commercial house. He was accompanied to Birmlng- ham yesterday by Mrs. Wallace, formerly Miss Reta Evens of this city. Mrs. Wallace will remain here until the we'd ding of her sister, Miss Sallie Evens, on December 20.
 MT Wallace said yesterday that after travelirg through a large part of this state and many others he was now more than ever convinced that Alabama held out more possibilities from a commercial viewpoint than most any state in the whole south.
 - "Although Alabama has only recently awakened to the fact that her natural re- Dources are greater than any other state here progress has been greater than many other states in the south," said MT. Wallace yesterday.
 ! "The southern part of Alabama Is more Widely diversified than any state in the south, and the people are finding it out. 2The state is decidedly on the upIft and there cannot be any question about 1t, the whole future can be safely dis couIted so far as progress is concerned. !" A Commenting upon the sentiment of MT. Underwood's friends in south Alabama as to his chances for the presidential Examination, Mr. Wallace said:
 ( MT. Underwood is the talk of the state The recently inaugurated boom for his Examination for the presidency has excited the finest kind of interest and it is the opinion that he will be nominated sure at the next convention, provided the boom is handled rightly. The general opinion 10 that Uncle Jud" Harmon of Ohio end Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jer- pey will get to fighting in the conven- sfion. deadlock will result and that Os- car w. Underwood will be presented to tile convention ss the dark horse" No doubt remains in the minds of the astute Politicians down in the south country but what such will result. If that be fle' case there cannot be any question of . democratic victory. Mr. Underwood has more friends all over the country, 1t is said, than either of the other two. He has made them quickly and only Through his courageous action in giving William J. Bryan and the Steel corpor- ktfon reminder that he was the chair 6nan of the committee on ways and heans MT. Underwood is winner if lis friends will only carry the matter xhrougli correctly
 As to Birmingham MT. Wallace said: -rs;The progress that has been made here since I was here last is surpris inG No one can appreciate like those who come here lnfrequently how n,arvslous are the strides being taken.

can see al a glance that the city is bounding forward And l take it that the new building being erected by the American Trust will help consider ably.
 Birmingham is held in all sections to be the city of progress in Alabama and is looked upon as the leading me- tropolis of the state. There is only one trouble here that is unforgivabe arc that is the disregard for proper hotel accommodations. No talk about Bir- mingham ever ends without some prop osition coming up as to the regretta ble hotel situation. The fact that the Chant

Princeton Offensive
Work Noticeably Weak

PRINCETON. n. J., Oct. 2.-The past
weeks football practice at Princeton
has seen the start of the training table
which began on Wednesday with the
following fifteen men: Captain Hart,
Sawyer, Mccormick, Mclean, Winants
and White. seniors; Bluethenthal. Dun
lap, Penfeld, Pendleton, Wight and
Wilson, juniors; and Baker, De Witt,
and Vaughn, sopohmores.
The past week has been the first full
week of scrimmage, but the work as a
whole has been far from encouraging
The offensive work in particular has
been noticeably week, due in great part
to the inability of the line to afford
the backs any sort of interference. The
forwards are slow in getting started
and fail to get into the plays with the
proper spirit. This defect Is even more
noticeable when the varsity has the
ball near the scrubs goal line, and
when direct plunging would be most
profitable the line men are unable to
do their share Of the work.
This unexpected weakness may prove
especially costly for the Orange and
Black this year, as the backs are light
even for the Tigers, and without a
make headway against the heavier elev-
ems, such as Harvard and Yale.
Princeton has not had a line plunging
back Of first-rate caliber since the days
of Jim Mccormick. back In 1907. and
the efficiency of an eleven this year Is
largely dependent upon the possession
Of a heavy backfield man who not only
can hit the line hard, but can throw
off tacklers and keep going.

Good Track Prospects
At Charlottesville

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct. .
Trainer IanniGan, of the varsity track
team, after having had the material for
this years team out for one week, ex-
pressed himself as being encouraged
with the outlook. a large squad has
been out every day during the past
week and much new material is in evi-
dence. The greatest scarcity exists in
material for hurdle races and the relay
team.
Recent additions to the squad are
Phillips, who ran last year In the relay
for the Episcopal High: Kline. from
the McCauley High School, at Chatta-
nooga, and McKeand, from Oklahoma
City. These men are showing up well
in the short distances. Those who are
jumping we'll are Leonard, from Swarth-
more prep; Walters, from the Denver
High School. and Rixey, from Jeffer-
son School.
Tomorrow the cross-country men will
dig their spikes into the turf for the
first time this year, and thereafter will
make the circuit three times a week
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at
) o'clock. All of the distance men, num-
bering ten or more, who for the past
week have been working out sore calves
on the cinder path. will be placed on the
squad. The marathoners will number
some thirty or forty if expectations are
fulfilled.

In fact, not for several years has
there been the splendid cooperation OF

Captain Howe, himself one Of the

closest assistants, Kistler who devel-

Morris, who was one of the best CEN
ters of the year in 1910.

much adverse criticism. Also, Mr. Camp
was not on the job as usual. and the
season for awhile was at skies and
