was low and hard Their charge was
aggressive and their Interference was
perfect. Courleux's machine showed the
effects OF excellent coaching.

considerable knowledge OF the game
However, the perfect team work. and the
consistent work of the local boys was
too much for their opponents and while
they fought from quarter to quarter, the
superiority of the local aggregation grail
ually told.

gregation, showed excellent form, rs lid

BUTTERM|LK MEEK
LEADSALL BATTERS
IN NORTHWESTERN

All hail "Butternilk" Meek, The erst-
while Baron swat artist continues TO ter
rorize opposing hurlers. Official figures
from the Northwestern league show that
the consumer OF buttermilk leads the cir
cult with the stick this season with an
average of .S46.
The baseball heavyweight was in 152
games this season and clouted safely 10
times. During the season he pilfered
seven bases.
There are few fans in Birmingham who
do not remember the former ponderous
Baron. He stuck with the club and
was dear to the hearts of the fans be-
cause of his one redeeming quality-he
could hit en-. And he had to hit 'em hard
to reach the initial corner safely but
Meek hit EN- hard Evidently he is doing
1t again. When batter has an average
of .246 and steals but seven bases it's
evident that his bingles are not annexed
through speed. They must be on the
nose for Meek to count safely
Birmingham fans are glad to hear OF
the big fellow success

ALABAMA COACH
EXPECTS HARD GAME
WITH TENNESSEE

Coach Graves of the University of Ala
bama was In Birmingham yesterday
where he refereed the Howard-owenton
contest.
The Alabama coach looks for a hard
contest with Tennessee in Birmingham
Thanksgiving.
Tennessee started out strong stated
the Crimson instructor, and was go
ing with the best until the setback sus-
tanned at the hands of Sewanee. They
are recovering again now, and l expect
that they will give us quite hard bat
tie on Thanksgiving.
Graves stated that the Tennesseans out
weighed Sewanee few pounds, and that
that would put them considerably heavier
than Alabama.
The Alabama aggregation is in excel
lent condition and win be in fine shape
for the final go round" here Thanks
giving Today will be devoted to a con-
test with the scrubs.

to 10 to 9. Some wagers were at even
money.
The Yale team spent the night on the
outer edge of the city, removed from the
tumult and the shouting. The Harvard
SQUAD which separated yesterday was re-
united at New London and this evening
ran through its formations indoors in a
last workout.
Both elevens were reported to be in
good playing condition.. Even those play
ers who suffered injuries during the pre-
linlinary season, We're all said TO be fit
and ready to play the game of their lives.
Until last Saturday, Harvard was re-
gsrded by many followers of football as
decidedly. superior to Yale in kicking be-
cause of Brickley's success at drop and
place goals and Fetons high and well
directed punts, but in the Princeton game
Yale uncovered possible equals in Lefty
Finn and Pumpelly, whose remarkable
90 yard drop kick enables the Bulldog
to escape defeat.
Comparatively little Is known of the
relative strength of the two teams in
rushing. Yale, however, has the advan-
tege in weight. averaging per man nearly
10 pounds more than Harvard. Trick
plays may figure in the result, and it is
believed each has several undisclosed
plays which have been held in reserve for
some crucial stage. of tomorrow's game.
Yale's goal line this season has been
held inviolate, while the Crimson goal has
been crossed twice by opponents, once by
Brown and again by Princeton but the
Crimson's defense is considered strong.
The probable line up:
Harvard-O Brien, left end; Storer, left
tackle; Pennock, left guard; Parmenter,
center: Trumbull. right guard Hitchcock.
