ALABAMA MEETS
 OWENTON TODAY Crimson Coaches Expect Team to Show Reversal
 of Form

University October S.-(Special )-Coach expected to show a reversal of form from that which they exhibited against Howard last Saturday, when they meet the fast eleven of Birmingham college on the campus today. During the past week Ala bama coaches have been putting the Crimson and White eleven through grue- ling skirmishes and signal drills. and al- ready the rough edges which loomed up SC omniously last Saturday are beginning to wear off
 Graves has been giving especial atten- tion to his line. The work of this de- rartment of the Crimson machine was a sad disappointment last Saturday. With the loss of Hagan and VandeGraaff this fall the backfeld was admittedly weak. But the line consisted mostly of sea soned veterans. Here Coach Graves had both experience and weight, and his last years material was augmented by the reappearanccNof Hubby Barnett, star of 1912.
 However, the line failed miserably in the game with Howard and local instruc- through hot paces in getting them on cage before the big games.
 Steady improvement has been shown this week and Alabama expects to give a good account of itself today.

SEWANEE EXPECTS
 ID BEAT GEORGIA

Chattanooga, October 9.-tSpecial.) Wearers of the purple expect Harris Cope's Sewanee Tigers to take the meas ure of the McWhorter-less Georgians when they invade the Junglemen's moun- tain lair Saturday afternoon. And what Is more they expect the Bcngals to win by a greater margin than they did when the two elevens casl.a on the noun tain two years ago.
 Sewanee followers believe that the Red and Black is weaker this year than last. The passing of McWhorter and other veterans of Cunningh hams 1913 clan is believed in this rect of the woods to have reduced the efA N1cy of the Red and Black machine.
 Sewanee on the other hand is stronger than last season not only stronger, but possessed of a far better schedule as the Tigers view it.
 The exact lineup which Cope and Gardner will put into the field to open Saturday is more or less probematical. The Tigers have hos: of new recruits this fall that look like real varsity pos abilities. No idea of the first eleven in many instances can be obtained from the array used in the Cumberland game, the only one which the Tigers have played, as practically every member of the squad got into action in this contest.
 The Tigers will enter the Georgia con- test in better condition than a Sewanee team has exhibited at this stage of the season in the past several years. The two weeks spent at Foster Falls cond- tioned the Purple athletes in wonderful fashion for the gridiron season.

First Real Battle of Baptist Schedule Promises to Be Hard Fought-A Large Crowd Is Expected

The first real battle of the season OH the Howard college grounds is scheduled to take place this afternoon at 3:3O o'clock. when the Baptist varsity squad will meet the Alabama Presbyterian college for a battle royal Both teams will be on the grounds in plenty of time to be warmed up and ready to start the game at the scheduled time.
 It is understood that the Presbyterian boys are prepared to make a hard fight against the Baptist squad, but the varsity squad are in fine spirit and are looking forward to the time when they will be placed on the firing line for action. They seem anxious to be in action, and are expecting to retire from the field vic torious.
 The Baptist team defeated the Presby- terians last year in a hard fought battle by score of IS to 13
 Large Crowd Expected
 A large crowd of football fans are ex- pected to be present for the game to- day. and the rooters for both sides will stimulate the interest in the game. The cheering squad for the Crimson and Blue will be we'll organized, and some breezy college yells will be heard.

Big Elevens Face Formida- ble Foes-Several Impor-

New York, October 9-The eastern football schedule for tomorrow carries possibilities for several upsets which. should they eventuate. would make the day on the gridiron even more notable than last Saturday when Carlisle. Pennsylvania and Cornell all were de- feated by the powerful elevens of so- called minor colleges.

 cornell, with two defeats already marked up against her, faces the Car lisie Indians. Last season the red men won from the Ithaca eleven, to 0. but the aborignes have not as yet shown form equal to that of 1913
 Another conqueror of Cornell the University of Pittsburg, will play against the navy, and the result will De awaited with more than usual in terest which attaches to early season games. The Pittsburg team includes d humber of veterans, members of the 1913 eleven which defeated Cornell Carlisle and Lafayette and held the navy to a no-score tie.
 The Yale-Lehigh game at New Haven IS expected to develop a closer contest than year ago when the visitors lost. 37 to 0.
 Much the same conditions prevail at Princeton where Syracuse will oppose the Tigers. Syracuse has shown both speed and power against Hobart and Hamilton, scoring 11S points against these two teams. but Princeton is a proposition of entirely different cali bre.

AUBURN SQUAD
 HAS HARD WEEK
Coaches Drilling Men to Fill Vacancies Left by Drop
 ping Out of Veterans

Auburn, October 9.--(Special )-The football practice this week has been marked by the severest scrimma gins. of the year. In the first games the
 work of the backs was satisfactory, but that of the line as whole was not at all what it might be- It showed that considerable hard work would be necessary before the candidates would be able to fill satisfactorily the holes left by Esslinger, Lockwood and Wynne. This week scrub baokfelds have been put behind the first and sec ond lines and, using open signals and nothing but line plays, they have been at 1t hammer and tongs. The result has been fiercer charging and better all-round play.
 Minor injuries have been keeping some from taking part but with the recovery of these and the return of Thigpen the line is beginning to take shape. Thigpen's two hundred pounds Of aggressiveness and the pulling of Taylor in from end to tackle makes the line look as formidable as almost any line that Auburn has ever had Thigpen reported overweight, but full
 of fight and ginger. Barring injuries

Never before in the history of the game, perhaps, has worlds series battle at tracted such keen interest in Birming- ham, The wonderful spurt of the Braves has won for them the admiration of the country and the probability of their snatching the worlds title from Mack < great machine has keyed enthusiasm 10 a painful pitch.
 Stallings' aggregation has yet a long and gruelling struggle ahead before they can capture the coveted honor. Mack S machine is recognized, even by the SUD- porters of it's rival, to be one of the greatest in the game, and it is not likely to crumble before one setback.
