These two teams met in Birmingham last season in fierce struggle on a mud covered field Tie mountain lads won the contest by a drop kick in the last quarter, neither side being able to gain consistently on account of the condition of the field. The Alabama supporters claim that weather eondi- tions alone were responsible for their defeat as they gained nearly twice as much ground in the game as did the Tigers. This year they are determined to wipe out the defeat. on the other hand the Sewanee contingent are de termined to show that they are able to take the measure of the Crimson squad under any conditions.
 There are probably no two teams in the south more, evenly matched In ev- cry way than are Alabama and Se- vance. The advantage is slightly, put very slightly, with the Tigers. They tied the University of Chicago, while the Georgians' defeated the Alanaml squad. However, from all reports the Alabamians completely outplayed the Georgians and lost on miserable flnke. The sowanse-Georaia Tech hat tie will help to determine their rela- tive strength, although the Alabama team has improved wonderfully since their defeat at the hands of the Yel- low Jackets. The difference in weight between the two teams will be very slight, the Tigers being few pounds the heavier.
 Every indication points to an excit- ing contest and 1t Is probable that many friends, students and alumni Of both institutions will be. in Birming- ham to witness the strdggle on No vember IS.

 Too Pendleton, one of Princeton s foot fall and baseball stars, may be mem- Der of the Nationals next season. This is Pendleton's last year at college and the chances are that he will break out as a professional ball player next spring
 If he decides to take this step there Is every reason to believe that he will join Griffith's forces. Griffith has only Pen dletons word by which to hold him. Last spring when the Princeton baseball team played at Georgetown Griffith took trip over there purposely to look Pendleton over. He was very much impressed with the young mans work and made ar engagements to meet him. During this confab Griffith got Pendleton's promise that in the event of his trying his hand at major league baseball he would come here for his first trial Since then Grif-

INTEREST IN WOLGAST- -MANDOT BOUT INSTILLS ENTHUSIASM IN TENNESSEEANS

Chattanooga, November 6.-(Special.) ) From present indications there will be q revival of the boxing game in Chat tanooga at an early date. Although the two established clubs, the Southern A. c. and the Chattanooga A. C., have abandoned the game, several new pro- motors are here looking into the local field. The intense interest exhibited in the Mandot Wolgast fracas showed that this burg is still alive for the right scrt of milling and will support Al bouts. A number of men have been mentioned as preparing to populate the local ring with good lads at an early date, but nothing definite has been agreed upon.
 The present dullness in local boxing circles is undoubtedly due to misman-

filth has taken occasion to remind the young man of his promise and there is no doubt that he will live up to 1t.
 Among a majority of the young men who came into baseball from the col- leges it has been found that their word is as good as contract This was H. hstrated last spring when Eppa Rixey of Virginia was overwhelmed with all Sorts of fiattering offers from major league clubs, yet refused to enter into negotiations with any of them simply be- cause he had given his word to Umpire Rigler to sign only with the club that he might pick for him.
 If Pendleton stands by his word as did Rixey, the chances are that Griffith will add very promising young infielder to his team next spring. There seems to be no doubt as to Pendleton's ability He looks like finished fielder and has all the eartnarks of being a natural hitter. Pendleton was regarded as the best short stop in college baseball last season.

There are, if Vanderbilt may be named four possible championship contenders among these colleges, who have yet to be defeated this season. One of these, Car lisle, has been tied, however, and there fore Is considered by many to be out Of the runnlng. If this is credited, only Vanderbilt Harvard and Yale remain as candidates for championship honors. When the Commodores meet Harvard one of the two will be eliminated from the race. If, by a possible chance-possible, but by no means probable--Vanderbilt should defeat the Crimson Saturday, there may be a considerable miXup, pro viding that eastern critics consider Van dy's possibilities. If Yale should then defeat Harvard, the Blue would he tied with Vandy for first place. If Harvard should defeat Yale, the Commodores could make a big claim for the honor

AUBURN EXPECTS A HARD
 GAME WITH l.. s. U. SQUAD

Much interest is attached to the game Saturday In Mobile when the heavy Louisiana State university team meets the lighter and somewhat faster ag- gregation from Auburn. Auburn has a slight edge on the Planters as the Tigers defeated Mississippi A. and M, only after a hard fought scrap by one touchdown and in turn A. and M. won from L. S. Y. last Saturday by one touchdown which was made after fierce fighting for a score,
 Auburns offense has picked up some since the game with Mississippi and showed splendid drive against Georgia Tech once it got under way, but it did not show the drive that 1t will develop later in the season. The team has been getting stronger on each sue coeding Saturday. Auburn's defense did not show up anywhere near as well

 Auburn's average weight at present is 172 pounds and Saturday they meet a team for the first time this year that outwelghs them. This Is the first time in several years that Mobile has had a game of fotball and from the spirit the Auburn alumni are showing in making preparations for this game they bid fair to make it an annual event. Special student rates have been given to all the schools in the city and to the Spring Hill college boys. Although not many of the students will accom- pany the team to Mobile, the merchants of that city have responded to the re- quests of the alumni, making it pos sIble for the band to accompany the team.

WAS THE FRIEND OF A KING
merchant Told of the Strong Attach
ment of King Edward for
John Bright.

An interesting account is given for
the first time of an incident which
began the friendship that existed be-
tween John Bright and King Edward
VII. The story was told by Mr.. Bright
In the hearing of Mr.. Connah, a mer-
chant in Manchester. Mr.. 81 zht. It
seems, had, at meeting in ST. James
nall, rebuked those people who were
criticising Queen Victoria for her rare
appearances at public functions after
the passing away of the prince con-
sort. On the following morning the
private secretary of King Edward
-(then Prince of Wales) called upon
Mr. Bright with a special request from
the prince to call upon him at MARI
borough house. Mr.. Bright at first
demurred, but yielding to the pleading
of the messenger, he went, and he
was received in the most friendly
manner by the prince and introduced
to the family circle. The prince took
Mr.. Bright aside and as son thanked
him for his kindly words on behalf
OF the mourning queen, and asked to
be granted the privilege of being
counted among the tribune's friends
Whatever may be my personal opin-
lon of kings and princes" Bright said,
concluding his narration, of the Incl
dent, the man before me was son
making an appeal on behalf of his
mother, and l could not resist it. We
shook hands, and have been close
friends ever since. "-Christian Sci

the difference, and we'll murder this

and the bass, in one voice.
'All right" agreed the organist
"Pick out what you please. I've got
to go now. Let me know what you're
going to sing" He jumped into his
overcoat and departed.

Learning the
Anthem.

"Say, will you play this solo part
over for me?" asked the tenor, as he
hastily threw off his hat and overcoat
and placed his music in front of the
organist. ",Just give me my pitch,
please"
I'm sorry, but can't play it now"
replied the organist You're nearly
half an hour late and we've got to get
through all these hymns, besides the
anthem. You should have come ear
lier." He closed the music in front
of him.
"Grouch!" muttered the tenor, as he
took the music and sat down with the
rest of the choir.
"Say," he whispered to the soprano,
"if we don't get a new organist pretty
soon they'll have to get new tenor.
I'm tired of being sat upon by that
fellow"
"Well, but you know, we do have to
practice the anthem" said the So
prano, "and what's the use of our sit
ting here, listening to your solo, when
we might as we'll be getting real prac-
tice done?"
The tenor moved over nearer the
bass and muttered his grievance.
EYES," agreed the bass, che sure is
the limit. Why, called him up the
other night and asked him to come out
and play over some of my songs-just
little social call, you know. Well,
he snapped out that he charged S. an
hour for accompanying people," The
bass relapsed into bitter thoughts.
"Well, what did you expect?" asked
the soprano. did you think he would
go out simply to practice with you, for
the mere pleasure of it? I'd have
charged ten, I assure you"

"Come on, now, If you're going to
practice" ordered the organist, bellig-
erently. "Now, follow your music, and
all come in on the first beat" He
played the opening chords.
"What on earths the matter?" he
exclaimed, disgustedly. why don't
you come in? There are four beats,
and on the fifth every one Of you
come in. Now, try again, and see if
you can count four" Again he played
the chords.
ooh, just a minute" interrupted the
soprano what is my note? 1 never
can get the right pitch. Hit my note
when you play the opening chord
louder than the rest, will your" She
beamed upon the organist.
"Now, see here!" exclaimed the or
ganist. 81 gave every one of you a
copy of this thing to practice at
home. You all ought to know it like
your own names. I can't play one
note louder than another in the first
chord! Do you suppose my playing
doesn't matter at all, just so you peo-
pie do just as little work as you CAM"
and he turned to the organ.
ooh, well, if YOU don't want to be
obliging!" The sopranos voice was
scornfuI.
The bass and the tenor laughed.
SERVES her right" said the tenor, sot-
to voce, ''for siding with him in the
first place.
"Now, one, two, three, four, sing!"
counted the organist at the top of his
lungs, as he played the chords once
more.
An awful crash of voices rent the
air. The organist flung out his hands
in dismay. "Now, what is the mat.
ter?" he Numbered.
Il believe that was my fault" MUIR

the organist, looking at his wtach.
Just fifty minutes of our hour are up.
