From present appearances Kid
Elberfeld, former manager of the
Lookouts, will be missing from the
Southern circuit next season, as the
Kid is carrying on negotiations
with some eastern club, presumably
in the International. Elberfeld is
now a free agent, neither the New

were very few changes made in
the football rules for 1914. Nu-
n,erous ones were discussed. but no
action taken on them. Even the
proposal of forcing the numbering
of players failed to receive decisive
action, Previous to the meeting it
appeared that this proposal was
sure of adoption as a number of
western and eastern representa-
tiyes had been reported in favor of
it. However, Walter Camp of
Yale, was successful in getting his
pet measure, providing for a fourth

The game in Tuscaloosa was won by a
margin of points.
The collegians are claiming that the
Bessemer team up to this time has had
all the luck, and are determined if pos
sibe to turn the tables Tuesday night.
The lineup of the two teams in Tues
days game will be:
Bessemer-Bailey, Thompson, Donald
son and B. S. Clay, forwards; Houston,
center; Bumgard er, Clay and Joe Lacey,
guards
Alabama-Wells, Hagan and Hood, for
wards; Harsh, center; Love, Holt and
Clark, guards.
From indications the game on Friday
will also be a good one. Although the
Birmingham team achieved an easy VIC
tory in the game staged several weeks
ago on the home floor, the Bessemer boys
are not disheartened and expect to put up
stiff opposition this time.

HILLTOP ELEVEN IS
ROUNDING INTO FORM
Hold the Ball" Has Proven the Max
ing of the Georgetown
Team.

The slogan Of hold the BALI at the
Hilltop has proven its worth. The back
field men are fast rounding into form,
and best of all they are at last learn
ing to hold on to the pigskin. The fum-
bling of the backfield has been the big
drawback of the Georgetown eleven an
season and since this fault has been cor
rected they should be ready to carry the
ball over for a touchdown on more than
one occasion Saturday when they battle
the fast West Virginia Wesleyan team
from Buckhannon.
Another shift has been made in the
backheld. The men behind the line in
the Pittsburgh game were a big disap-
pointment to the Hilltop coachers and the
men who have been tried out this week
have been showing up well and viii be
played in that position Saturday. Nork
will be played at fullback because of his
powers at shooting the forward
pass, while Capt. Freddy Murray and
Landrou will be put in the halfback
positions. Weiser, who has been show
ing up well all season as captain and
and halfback of the scrub team, will be
placed at quarterback. The following is

Western and Eastern are taking the
field in the fourth game Of the scholastic
series today at Vigilant Park.
The comparative weights of the two
elevens show that Western has the ad-
vantage over its opponents by a wide
margin, with Eastern presenting the
lightest team in the history Of scholastic
football Eastern has been forced to
accept another setback. Goebel, one Of
its mainstays in the backfield. has with
drawn from school, while Ledoux. right
tackle on the first team. Is suffering from
water on the knee, and will not be used
In today's contest.
Westerns lineup will be practically
the same as the one started in the Bust
ness game, although several second
string men have shown enough to break
in the regular lineup by taking the
place of certain veterans who have ac-
quired slight bruises.
Western ought to win by a slight mar
gin. The red and white eleven is far
more capable than was shown in its game
with Business and is liable to display
some. hidden strength in this afternoons
engagement.
After today. Western will be consider
ably strengthened by the return of no less
than four of its veterans who have salts
fled the requirements in scholastic work
of the first six weeks Of school. Although
the advisory reports are distributed to-
day, Capt. Gibilin, Peck Peyton, and
Hume are not considered eligible until
Monday. However, with these men avail

can outtalk any gallant captain that
sails the blue seas.
The battle, which everybody hopes will
bring about a shift in the crown, will be
staged at Juarez, Mexico. which is only
step from 81 Paso, but far enough
from Uncle Sam to preserve Mistah
Johnson from doing a little stretch for
our glorious country. In all probability
the scrap will be held either IN January
or February, which is only a minor
point.
The Jess Willard syndicate desire is for
Lii Arthur to sign for the money to
promote the match as already put up.
There is no doubt that this battle will
draw monster house. Willard is the
likeliest looking OF our white hopes and
Is the only one around that can be given

WINGED the experts that saw the fasco

to drop into the discard. So II 10 up to

Wants Standard Merchandise.

MY hope as consumer. speaking for
women consumers general Y. is that
there Will be much more trade ma rked
merchandise. When there is a trade
marked merchandise of standard quail
ity and price l will have more op-
portunity to test the genuineness of So
called bargains"
Mrs Frederick said further:
"One of the arguments against the
set price which has been put up to me
is that it permits the price to be ex-
orhitaIt. But they forget that if the
manufacturer sets too high a price
on an article, even If universally neces-
ss,ry ia modern life, | do not pay that
price. / have yet to ind that rs a
consumer | have TO pay eXorbitant
prices for anything except when the
article is scarce or controlled by a
monopoly.
Il always am able TO find plenty of
other articles made by other rnanufac-
turers which the natural laws of trade
have pu. On the market at lower price;
but usual ly prefer the higher grade at
= higher price
Il am quite sure that il is a most IN
wise thing for any manufacturer to place
an exorbitant price Oh his merchandise.
This affords temptation for people to pi-
rate or initiate what he has got. From
nav observation the wise manufacturer
even with a patent right puts only a fair
profit on his merchandise, because il is
better TO do a large volume of business
at small profit than to do i small busi-
ness at high profit.
