 able-Crimson Must Use Open Play to Keep Down Score-Much Interest in Game

not appear against Tech Saturday. It IS hardly thought that his injuries are serious enough to keep him from the game. but his work may be seriously handicapped. Alabama has too much at stake to risk the loss of valuable men if it can possibly be avoided, and Graves has not substitute who can supplant the Birmingham boy in the backfield. If he is unable to play the Crimson will be seriously crippled.
 
 According to critics who have viewed the work of Alabama this fall the only chance of the Crimson s.es in open play. The thin red line." it is said. is heavy but lacks the aggressiveness and team work necessary for line gains. Again the baclxfield is not necessarily fast. Alabama's chance seem to lie in an abundance of wierd formation and frequent use of the forward pass. If the Crimson is forced to rely upon straight football. only the footwork of Bully yandeGraaff can keep down the score. It is hinted that Graves has divus and sundry tricks up his sleeve which he is waiting to spring upon Heisman's crew. Evidently the Grim son coach sees in this attack his only chance for victory.
 
 Birmingham is keenly alive to the football situation and hundreds are expected to be on hand tomorrow aft ernoon to witness the initial collegiate contest. The Magic City to sustain its reputation as tlIe best sporting city in the south must show the wise ones who are at work in an endeavor to pull the Auburn-V Vanderbilt battle from Birmingham next year must hasten to the support of collegiate football.

COMMODORES AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY { CLASH SATURDAY

N CARNAGE work Is over and the
 Alabama and Tech elevens are A> resting on their arms awaiting the call of the referees whistle which will send them together for the first big battle of the current season. Since Monday both aggregations have been put through strenuous practices and 9ruelling scrub work in preparation for Saturdays contest. At Tech bad weather has Handicapped scrimmage work, but Heismans warriors are re- ported in fine fettle for the opening battle. This afternoon Alabama win be put through short signal drill before leaving Tuscaloosa for Birming- ham. Tech will spend the day in com plete rest. The Alabama eleven fs scheduled to reach Birmingham at 6:10 this afternoon and will be quartered will arrive few hours later from At lanta and will, likewise. be stationed at the Morris.
 Speculation as to the result of the battle is rife in Birmingham. Every indication points to victory for Tech. In all probability the size of the score will depend upon whether Heisman is forced to call his football strategy into play to conquor the Crimson eleven. It is known that the Georgia wizard is planning big things this year and that he believes that he has corraled at Atlanta one of the best squads which has ever Haunted the colors of Yellowjackets. It Is known, too, that he is making notable preparations to shake the eternal Au- burn jinks. With big things ahead Techs veratile instructor is unlikely to uncork his whole offensive roper toire before the eager eyes of future opponents unless forced to do so. It is even believed that he will be pleased with a small score if such a victory can be achieved without disclosing valuable strategy. Alabama has one chance in 10 to win, but such an event is highly improbable.
 
 Reports from Tuscaloosa indicate that Bill Harsh, the Birmingham boy who is taking care of halfback posi- tion at Alabama is injured and may

 Though Auburn has seldom rolled up a big score on the campus even with a light opponent, the fact that the student body is behind the team should help pull them to victory Auhurn's de- fense in the Florida game was the best part about the teams work and this should make 1t very difficult for C1em- son to score and unless they show an unexpected offense and Auburn's defense Is below par Clemson will hardly score a touchdown.

Auburn. October 5.-(Speoial.) )--Next Saturday. for the first time this season. Auburn goes against heavier team than its own, and as the date Of the game draws closer the result of the game is more and more of an enigma. Auburn's showing against University of Florida did not send any of its supporters into ecstacy and neither did Clemson make the expected showing against Tennessee.
 However any team that has a line that averages 2o2 pounds from tackle to tackle inclusive. as does the Clemson bunch should furnish considerable opposition once 1t gets going. and it is seldom. in- deed, that Clemson does not put up a stiff fight against Auburn. no matter

Bonds More Readily Absorbed

Action by Alabama alone involves. of course, the purchase of greater propor- tion of It's own crop than would have been necessary had joint action been taken by nine or ten of the cotton pro- ducing states. but it should be remem- bered that bond issue of Alabama alone would be much smaller than the aggre- gate of bonds issued by several states would have been, and the smaller issue would be, therefore, the more readily ab- sorbed.
 The execution of this or any other plan to relieve the situation will require the adoption of constitutic-Rl amendment. which must first be submitted by the leg islature of the state and adopted by a majority vote of the people Under the law, about two months must elapse be- tween the date of submission and the election. 1t is clear that action at the regular session in January next would be too late. and that if any relief is to be had, it is imperative that the governor call an extra session of the legislature at once.
 Tt must be understood that this letter Is not written in any official capacity, nor must it be construed as an expression of the views of anyone but myself: it is solely an expression of my individual opinion and is just what I would have written had I remained in Birmingham As citizen of Alabama, for many years engaged in the banking business fin the state, feel that am familiar with the local situation, and that [ am entitled to an opinion.
 Governor O'Neal has now a tremen- dous responsibility and a great oppor- tunity: an extraordinary occasion cer- tainly exists, and strongly urge that he call the legislature together at once to consider this cotton problem Each days delay means additional loss to the farmers and business men of Alabama

 "The suggestion that the consul and other Americans should wear distinguish ing emblems was urged by prominent cit- iEens at Chemnitz. who called personally at the consulate; but though this would have secured perfect protection to MT. and Mrs. Deedmeyer, they refused to adopt it. In MT. Deedmeyer's opinion, it would have let loose the mob of Chemnits upon the hundred or more defenseless English subjects in and about the city. Many of the persons who insulted the consul and his wife were known to the authorities. but none was punished or even repri- manded.
 Tn spite of the mayors cautionary no- tice, the threats and indignities continued, and the consul was at last obliged to give warning that he would close the consu- late. Upon this a guard was provided for him and hls wife, and they never ap- peared again in public without that guard. After bearing this for some time Mir.

altogether a surmise. for I have taken oc- casion to ask jobbers and bankers in va rious sections of the country for their views, and do not believe that any cred itor of an Alabama farmer or merchant would hesitate to take these Alabama cot ton bonds in liquidation of obligations for in most cases the only security they now have is the equity in the cotton in the hands of thousands of individual holders, for which there is practically no cash market. This apparent purchase of cotton by the state would be really a mobilization of debts, a concentration of assets, and the state would be merely lending it's credit on this cotton security to the thousands of it's own citizens who have produced its great cotton crop, thereby facilitating liquidation in an or derly manner.
