of the playing season by starting it on
April H. and ending it on October Z. The
dates, however, depend on the National
leagues agreeing to them. The date for
the schedule meeting was not an
nounced.
Not a dissenting voice was heard when
president Johnston proposed that the
league go on record as fayoring the
worlds series between the two big league
pennant winners. The plan to have a
general campaign was brought recently
by August hermann, chairman of the
national commission, and would have pro-
vided that every team in one circuit
play every team in the other.
Talk Informal
1t was specified that the talk on the
players demands was strictly informal"
The league received no official list of
demands from President Fultz, of the
Players Federation, but a series of re-
forms the players had drawn up had
been sent to every club owner by the
national commission and these gone over
in an open discussion. The proposed
abandonment of the reserve rule" which
defenders of organized ball say is vital
to its existence, naturally found no cham
pions at the meeting. but indications were
that the players will be granted some
of their demands.

- BIRMINGHAM enthusiasts prob
ably will witness one of the
~ hardest fought football battles
of the season tomorrow when the Grim
son warriors of Alabama clash with
the Mountain Tigers of Sewanee on
Rickwood Field.
Early in the season when these two
elevens first answered to the call of
the coaches Sewanee easily had the
call upon her Alabama rivals. Re
ports from the Tiger stronghold glowed
with enthusiasm and the mountain
team was generally considered
championship contender.
Alabama, on the other hand. ap-
peared weak. Vandegraff, Moody and
other stars were missing from the
Crimson lineup and the new material
appeared sadly lacking. However,
as the season advanced conditions
changed. The Tigers, after defeat
ing Tennessee, lost to Texas university
and followed this loss with a crushing
defeat at the hands of the followers
of Hesman of Georgia Tech
Alabama came strong after the first
two games, and followed her defeat
at the hands of Georgia with two
sweeping victories over Tulane and
Mississippi college.
Coaches Graves and Harmon have
whipped their ragged material into a
winning aggregation, and they will en-
ter the game against Sewanee with
almost even chances to win.
Both Sewanee and Alabama are
noted for their superb fighting quail
ties, and it is safe to predict that both
aggregations will have reason to call
into play every ounce of determine
tion to carry away the scalp of the
other in tomorrow's battle Alabama
will be slightly outweighed, and de-
spite the fact that the Crimson is
considered favorites by many suppor-
ters, chances are slightly against

Auburn, November 6.-(Special.) Though

last Saturday. the team is working hard
with the hope of removing on Saturday
another strong contender for the s. 1. a.

1t will be one of the fiercest fought battles
of the fall, but the team is undaunted
and is going about it's preparations for

this year. mike" Donahue is holding Sc

With the exception of Lockwood and

Great Interest Shown
Great interest is shown throughout the
state in the Vandy-Auburn battle which
will be waged in Birmingham. Inquiries
from alumni and friends who are boost
ing Auburn to win the championship are
received daily. 1t seems that the exact
date of the great game with the Commo-
dores is not known, as this has been the
subject of numerous letters. Saturday,
November 15 is the date, and all indica-
tions point to a record breaking attend
ance. Popular Joe Virgins, the assistant
passenger agent of the Western Railway
of Alabama, was in Auburn today to
talk with Manager Bragg about the spe-
cial train which will be run to Birming-
ham for the Auburn students. The train
will be run as last year, and almost the
entire student body will go up. This
game, provided Tech doesn't defeat Au-

contenders for the southern title. All

them. 1t is almost a toss up for the
winner, but from the present angle
the Tigers have an advantage of one
touchdown as the two teams enter the
conflict. This is the handicap which
Alabama must overcome to capture
the battle.
When the dust has cleared away
from the Georgia Tech-Auburn fiasco
in Atlanta tomorrow there will be but
three contenders for the south's foot
ball supremacy, unless the battle re-
suits in a tie. Either way the contest
goes, the victor will rank high favor
ite to cope the Southern intercollegiate
Athletic association title. II Auburn
continues It's onward march and takes
the number of the Heisman warriors,
the Alabama tigers should easily be
able to repeat the dose when Wander
bilt is met here the week following.
On .--e other hand, should Tech de-
feat her rivals, her chances for tho
coveted honor are bright and lGs-
trous.
Auburn will enter the affray high
favorites to win, but those who are
contemplating backing their favor
ties with the long green had best be-
think themselves of the high cost of
living before Offering odds. Tech un-
doubtedly will be the most formidable
opponent which has yet confronted the
Orange and Blue. 1t would not be
saying too much to state that Tech
has the strongest eleven which has
ever been placed upon the gridiron by
the wizard, Heisman. Auburn has one
of the strongest elevens in her history,
but hardly the strongest,
1t has been whispered about among
the select that the Georgia school
went out into the highways and by
ways last summer and garnered into
its fold prep stars of lustrous calibre
and that more than mere persuasion
was used In inveigling several of
these to cast their lot with Tech. This
rumor has spread as far as Auburn.
Whether 1t is true or not is a matater
of speculation, but it does not alter
the fact that the Tech aggregation
represents one OF the south's best.
and that Captain Newell's cohorts will
find themselves up against a Wander
bilt proposition before the struggle is
won.

EASTERN ELEVENS
FOR HARD

Harvard FavOrite Over
PrincetOn-DartmOuth-
Penn Battle in the
Limelight

New York, November 6.--With the
near approach of dates for "The Big"
football games reports come from all
eastern camps that the teams are shap-
ing up strong.
Among outside observers Harvard is
a pronounced favorite for the Prince
ton game, because the team has de-
veloped a system of offense that few
experts dispute to be the strongest now
In evidence.
Defenceively the team is not so strong
and for this reason hopes of Princeton
followers that the Tigers will break
through for score may not be unwar-
rantable.
Princeton coaches appear to have
given up the hunt for any one punter
to carry the game and it is probable
that Law and Hobey Baker and Borden
will be called upon during the remain
der of the season to share the kicking
work.
Will Try Innovation
Princeton will try the innovation of
numbering it's players in the Harvard
sport festival. Each of the Tigers play
ers will have big numeral on his back
and the key to the system will be found
in the official programme.
Harvard men will not be numbered.
Yale has rounded out what will prob
ably prove its regular line up. The,
shake up has given the Eli team a new
canter trio in Wry, Cooney and Hart
ing. 1t places Captain Ketcham at right
end, moves F'ullback Wilson to quarter
and installs at fullback Dave Dunn, who
had the aromatic position two years
ago. Ainsworth will succeed Cornell
at left half.
Brown plays Yale Saturday. The
Dartmouth team will leave New Hamp-
shire today for the game with Pen
sylvania at Philadelphia on Saturday.
Anticipate Close Game
close game is anticipated with the
Pennsylvania team eXcelling in strength
but with the Dartmouth men keen for
victory, because of the high seasons
rating it will, that is credited with
more football startegic.
In the Cornell camp with an invasion
by Michigan impending there is dis
appointment because O'Hearn, the nor
mally strong right end, has suffered a
relapse from injuries received in the
Harvard game. Ross has put in at left
end and as a whole the team is said To
be rounding into better shape than
was expected.
The Army and Navy teams will meet
Albright and Buckne1 respectively
this week. West Point coaches declare
that they are not worrying about any
of the early games, every effort being
made to point the team for the big
game with the Navy in New York No
