Their presence Is always q great help to the coaches and players alike
 Scrimmagng Is the chief subject on the programme this week. Tuesday aft ernoon the varsity and scrubs had the hardest fought scrimmage yet seen on the campus. Practically all the men on the squad were used and even after the sun went down they were fighting tooth and nail for every inch of ground, the scrubs putting up the best fight they have shown this season, Taylor Knapp and Noble showing up well.
 The varsity men seem to realize now that they have one of the hardest games of the season Saturday against the Agri- cultural and Mechanical boys, and are plugging away for further development Very little can be heard regarding the

OWENTON TO PLAY
 PREDS ON FRIDAY

On account of the game Saturday be- tween Auburn and Mississippi Agricul- tural and Mechanical, the football game scheduled between Birmingham college and the Anniston Preds has been changed to Friday, October 25. The game will be played on Munger Field Birming ham college campus, and will begin promptly at o'clock
 Despite the fact that Birmingham was slaughtered by Albertville last Saturday, a good game is predicted, inasmuch as the two teams are rivals of long stand ing.
 At Anniston "Chick" Hannon has got ten together a fast team and one that Will keep the Methodists on their mettle to win. It is reported that large num- Der of the Pred supporters will accom- pany the team to Birmingham Friday to be on hand for the contest.
 Coach Henry is putting his team through grilling practice this week in order to have them in the best possible con dition for the game. Already improve ment is shown in their work over that of Saturday last. and the squad Is very optimistic over the outcome of Friday s battle.

AUBURN EXPECTS A HARD
 GAME WITH MISSISSIPPIANS

Mississipians. except that they have an unusually strong team and the game they put up against the University Of Ala bana eleven proves that statement. This hard game coming so early in the sea- son catches Auburn, in a way, unpre- pared. as tho Tigers do not reach tho height of their development until later in the season.
 The Tigers. with the exception of Burns and Lamb, are in good physical eondl- ton. Burns is laid up for a few days with a bad knee but will probably be all right in n few days. Lamb has a sore shoulder that has caused him trouble for about 10 days, but win most likely ac- company the squad to Birmingham. The team is developing their defense more than anything else at present, as in the past two games they were shown to be very weak in that particular. The offense is fairly well developed for this time of year and can be allowed to rest for awhile. Captain Major is playing a good game at the quarterback position, and Newell. who was shifted to half is play
 ing game that gives him q chance to use his speed and headwork to advantage. However, the Tigers are expecting to make a much better showing next Sat urday than they did in the last two games played on the campus.

 As yet the organization is simply in its formative stage The players, accord ing to Pratt, met with full attendance elected officers for the year, arranged membership and initiation fees, and dis cussed the various measures that they contemplate petitioning for. The players wish to work with and not against the magnets for the betterment of baseball conditions. Recently organized, and as yet untried, they do not intend to fight for the petitions which they will put be- fore the commission. They will simply point out these grievances to the mag nets and request as whole that matters be remedied in such a manner as will elevate the national sport as well as be beneficial to the players themselves. In case these petitions axe given no consid- eration, the players have not yet deter mined their course of action but they have arranged for meetings among the various clubs and meetings of their rep resentatives to consider what is the best action to take in case the matter should they fail to gain recognition from the magnets or commission.
