hundreds of deputies who will at once

Registration offices have been opened
in parks, newspaper offices, women's
clubs, large department stores and
other places visited by women. One
thousand members of the Women's
Protective League have agreed per-
sonally to see ten voters each and urge
them to support Alexander.

day were asking, What will the wo-
men do?" As no majority was given
any candidate, an election must be
held in December, when the women
will vote for the first time.
Mayor George Alexander, good gov

socialist, will compete in a two-men
contest for the offices in December
! The returns show the primary vote
to have been as follows: Hartman.

TIGERS PREPARING FOR
BATTLE WITH sOONERS

Columbia, Mo, Nov. 2.-The Tiger
football team that faces Bennie Owens
Oklahoma Sooners on Rollins Field
next Saturday will be a very different
team from that which was overwhelm-
ed by Nebraska last week. 1t isn't like
ly that there will be many new faces
in the lineup but the difference will
be in the pep" of the Gold and Black.
The squad will be faster and very
likely much greater offensive team
the practices this week have shown
that. And it is the offense on which
Athletic Director Brewer will put all
his efforts this week.
Against Nebraska, the Tiger backs
couldn't carry the ball when they got
it. Since it is by advancing the ball
the touchdowns are made, it is up to
Brewer and Jones to instill some of
that faculty into the squad. Mondays
practice was secret, but yesterday the
practice as fast and furiowus. New
play followed new play in ceaseless
rapidity, and when one coach wasn't
shouting for more speed another coach
was telling the Tigers they were too
slow in getting started.
Brewer promised early in the week
that there might be some material
changes in the lineup before the end
of the week. Dexter is back, and was
playing halfbaek yesterday; Spurgeon
got tryout at fullback, Duvall at an
end and Groves at left tackle Barton,
the 176,pound sophomore who has
played a strong game at right guard,
may be shifted to the other side of
the line, with E. l.. Anderson, Gala
CHER or Bentley holding down the right
side. 1t still is pretty much of a fight
for the center position, with "Chuch'
Wilson having a shade the better OF
the argument. He is lined up against
e. II. Anderson, who is about twenty
pounds heavier but not so aggressive
Wilson played the entire Nebraska
game against Hornberger, the hefty
206-pound Swede, and the reports are
that "Chuck" wasn't particularly muss
ed up. Houston and Hastings will
take the tackle positions, undoubted
ly For they are playing excellent
ball.
Then comes another mix-up at end
Captain Shuck cannot play anything
but that position, with Jack Mills
Thatcher, Pixlee, Duyall, Spurgeor
geon and Virgins at the other end
Pixlee probably will be reserved foi
the back field, giving Mills ant
Thatcher, both fair men on forward
passes, the first calls
Blees seems to have cinched the
quarter back position to start the ok
lahoma game, but he is light and per
haps cannot stand the gaff, havinf
been running the first squad this week
He tosses the ball in good shape fol
forward passes, and the rest of tn,
squad have much confidence in him
The rest of the back field is an
other muddle, with Hall, the unter
DOLBY Knobel. the line plunger;
Pixlee, the all-round player; Wilder
the big fullback; LeMire, whom many
say knows more football than the res
