LOSES TO
 TENNESSEE IN FIRST GAME BY SCORE OF 17 TO '

Knoxville, Tenn, October 24.-(Special In one of the fiercest football games played in this city in many years, Ten nessee defeated Alabama here this aft ernoon, r to z. The second quarter was a gruelling period, time being called out repeatedly for both Tennessee and Ala bama players. Captain Kelly of Tennes- see received a severe blow in the head, which staggered him about the field for several minutes, while Morton, playing right end for the visitors, was taken out of the game with badly bruised shoul- der. It was announced later that his col lar bone had been broken.
 Tennessee scored two touchdowns in the first quarter in rapid succession, follow ing about eight minutes of play. Both touchdowns were made on beautiful for ward passes; the first, May to Cameron for 40 yards. and the second, May to carroll for 30 yards. Both passes were executed in faultless style. Since Ten nessee started off with such a wnirlwind rush it looked for a while as though the score was going to be large but the Ala bama clan came back in the second period and played desperately, the best that Tennessee could do during this quarter being one field goal from the so-yard line drop-xicked by Cameron.
 Alabama Scores
 Alabama's score came just about a minute after play began in the second quarter when Kelly, for Tennessee. fum- bled on his own 50-yard line and Wander Graaff picked up the ball with a clear field ahead of him, he scooted the distance

And we believe that just such trophy as we shall present will add considerable stimulus to the S. l. A. A. race. The winner of the championship well deserves some tangible evidence of Its victory and we are sure that the handsome trophy that we are going to present will be well worth the efforts of any eleven to win it."
 Every effort has been made, according to MT. Dameron, to select logical cham pion.

CRIMSON FRESHMEN DEFEAT HIGH SCHOOL Davis, Blackburn and Harris of Locals Feature
 Game

University, October 24-(Special.) ) The Alabama freshmen met and de- feated the team of the Birmingham High school here today by the score of 14 to o. The junior Crimson varsity met with unexpected resistance from their somewhat lighter opponents, and | though at no time was the game in doubt, still they had to fight fiercely for the two touchdowns which they made. Both teams were weak on de- fense and strong on offense, the game being featured by the ability of the High school backs to pick their holes in the line. The superior weight of the freshmen gave them the advantage in plunging and this tells the tale of the game. For the High school Davis, Blackburn and Harris featured, while Burnett, Brannon. Cullen and Sam Ford did excellent work for Alabama.
 The line-up
 Birmingham High: Roach, right end ; Snyder, right tackle; Craig, right guard; Hall, center; McPhail, left guard; Baker, left tackle; Blackburn left end, Goodall. quarterback; Davis, left halfback; Gillem, right halfback; Harris fullback

| During the first quarter it appeared as if A. and M. were going to make trouble. Captain Robinson of Auburn won the toss i, and elected to defend the west goal. A. and M. kicked and after a few prelimi-
 nary skrimmages elected to try for goal 1 from placement on the 45-yard line, but | failed to make it, Auburn running the l ball back b yards on tine play. A l few moments later 1t was Mississippi $
 ball on downs and forward pass netted
 15 yards. With the ball on Auburn's 15- yard line in front of the goal posts the A. and M. quarter tried to buck it over and lost the ball on downs.
 Threaten Goal Once ] This was the only time Auburns s goal 1 was ever threatened. Throughout the
 remainder of the game A. and NJ. was on the defensive and the greater part of the time the ball was in her territory From
 time to time holes were found in the Auburn line, but little substantial gains were made in this way, and the only of fensive play that was effective was the
 forward pass. Even this was broken up
 ill the second half, leaving the A. and
 M. eleven entirely at sea
 l Mississippi lacked two things-a good ! general at quarter and a heavier back field The eleven is fine on the defensive, but has not the weight to ram home the
 line attacks. Had the offensive yesterday afternoon been as strong as was the de- fense the score might have been even
 smaller.
 1 Captain Kinney, the regular quarter, i, T IL. 1 day, being injured in the first few min l utes of play and not entering the line- l up again until the latter part of the | fourth quarter, only to be again injured. | It is probable the A. and M. eleven suf- l fered from his absence for Noble, who re- placed him, showed poor judgment on | the offensive
 For instance, with the ball on A. and Ms 5-yard line Noble called for forward pass and threw the ball while standing behind his own goal line As it happened he got away with it, not once but twice, but it was violating all football axioms and he was taking desperate chances. Had the play been intercepted it would have meant a touchdown for Auburn. Auburn's Play Consistent Auburn's play was consistent through out During the first quarter the Auburn backs apparently could not hold the ball, tnere pelng luinDle altef rumble. With the ball inside A. and Ms 5-yard line the backs twice funlDled and the ball was kicked out of danger.
 Auburn could do little with A. and Ms line which held stauncniy on the defense In the first half end runs and forward passes netted the greater part of the gains, and it was not until the third and fourth quarters that the Auburn backs began to show real form. In the first half Mississippi made more through Auburn's line than did the Tigers through A. and NJ, but in the second conditions were reversed

president of the Birmingham Newspaper club, and President Riggs of the s. l.. A. A, has been appointed to name the winner. The authority of these men on southern athletics is unquestioned, and their appointment to select a southern champion presupposes that such a selec- ton will be fair, unbiased and after eX- pert consideration of the merits of every clever involved.
 Under the rules governing the selection of a champion it is provided that in case no eleven has a clear title to first honors, each member of the committee cast vote in writing selecting a cham pion. Each vote will be mailed to the sporting editor of The Age--Aerald, who will turn them over to MT. Stanley. Upon the election of a champion the secretary of the Newspaper club will forward the trophy to the athletic director of the uni versity represented. The voting power of the president of the Newspaper club becomes initiative only in case of tie.
 The presentation of this trophy is the outsrowth of preparations now under way at the Newspaper club for the entertain ment of the Auburn and Vanderbilt elevens on the occasion of their annual game here on November IA Arrange ments have been completed for a dance complimentary to the two elevens in the club rooms. Active cooperation already has been promised by both athletic au- thorities of the two colleges and local alumni, and every indication points to a big success. The club rooms will be appropriately decorated with the colors of the opposing eevens and delightful buff fet luncheon will be served to the guests.
 Birmingham as a whole is anxious to make the Auburn Vanderbilt game gala day. Local associat tions and the News paper club is at work with that end in view. Already enthusiasm grows apace. The rah, rah boys will be given the keys of the city. Everything points to a big time for everyone.
