AUBURN MEETS STRONG
 CLEMSON ELEVEN TODAY

Auburn, October 16. - (SpeciaL) Coach Donahue. discussing Auburn's chances with Clemson on the Auburn campus tomorrow, predicts an Auburn victory, but only after a hard fight He says: With the exception of Arnold Auburn came through the Florida game in good shape. His knee is mending slowly and Is practically certain to keep him out of the Clemson game. As the team is not any too well supplied with substitutes, the loss just now is very severe one He will be in shape, how ever. for the later games. With fum- bling and the excessive heat Auburn had rather hard time scoring three touchdowns on the plucky Florida ag- gregation. The Alligators have a stronger defensive team than usual and seem to revel in hot weather On the offense they could make no impression n against Auburn's defense, although only the pluck and grit of Arnold prevented them from scoring on an intercepted forward pass.
 Tn the first quarter, by means of end runs and a forward pass, Auburn car ried the ball to the three-yard line. where it was lost by tumble on the nl'st down, this gave the Gators new life. while Auburn kept on fumbline. In the last half the team got together
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-10-17

and scored three touchdowns with Flor
 ida fighting desperately all the way.
 The line, which was slow in getting
 started. is just beginning to show its
 calibre and is acquiring the concerted
 and sustained charging of the best Au-
 burn lines.
 "The best second team possible from
 substitutes and ineligibles was pitted
 against the varsity Wednesday, With
 the varsity on the offense for 50 min
 utes the scrimmaging was of the se-
 verest kind. At first the scrubs gave
 the varsiey a great deal of trouble but
 the varsity gradually hammered into end running worked the ball up and With Coaches Tichenor and Penton be-
 hind the scrubs, they fought stubborn ly and some of them showed promise. The work of Fricke at guard was es- pecially noticeable. The loss of Arnold will be felt in the Clemson game but with the continued. improvement of the team victory is expected after a hard fight.'
 The team will lineup as follows: Center Pitts, Robinson left guard Thigpen, Fricke; right guard, Taylor Sample; right taclSlee, Louisell, Martin; left tackle, Steed, Culpepper; right end Robinson (captain); left end, Kearley | left half, Hart, Hairston; fullback, Har- ris, Eidez; right halfback, Hart, Prem dergast; quarterback, Hairston, Lind- sey.

MAROON AND WHITE |. SQUAD PREPARING l. FOR HARD BATTLES
Three Grueling Games Are Scheduled for Mississippi A. and M.-TO Meet Au-
 burn in Birmingham

Agricultural College, Miss, October 16.-(Special) )-The Maroon and White football team is fast rounding into shape for the three gruelling games to be played the following consecutive Saturdays.
 First comes Kentucky. This is the first time that A. & M. has ever in- vaded Kentucky. and, from all reports. will meet Tartar in the University of Kentucky.
 Next comes Auburn, for whom the Aggies have been working hard and long each afternoon. They are depend ing on that game to wipe all of the past defeats at the hands of the pow erful Auburn elevens. It Is a well known fact that Auburn Is practically as strong this season as they were last, however, the A & M. Bulldogs feel that this is the year they are to turn their opponents back.
 Following the big game with Auburn in Birmingham on October 24, comes the game with Georgia, at Athens Oc- tober 31. There is no need to mention Georgias strength this year. The fact that they beat Sewanee on their own campus Is ample proof of the remark able machine now representing the University of Georgia. A. & M. will no doubt be extended to the limit to with stand Georgia's onslaughts on their own campus.
 A special train will probably be rur from here to the Auburn game in Bir- mingham, carrying a couple of hundred enthusiastic preps as rooters for A. X M. With little fairer weather to prac- tice in A. & M. will be in top form for the Auburn game.

Techs field strategician last night gave out the following official statement:
 The situation continues favorable. De- spite vigorous skirmishes early in the week casualties were few, and the main division of our forces remains intact. Slight advances have been made against the scrubs during the past few days, but weather inclemencies have made active engagements difficult. In expectation of . big battle today, Field Marshal Heis- man has brought up two l9O-pounders tc support his center and believes his line to be impregnabe. Experts agree that the Crimson warriors will be forced to resort to fanking movements for of fensive tactics. It is officially announced that no retirement will be made for strategical purposes.
 A thrill Of excitement permeated the atmosphere of the Morris hotel last night where A stalwart athletes, comprising the rival elevens of Georgia Tech and the University of Alabama, rested from a week of strenuous exertion in prepara- tion for battle today. Fourscore wiry. muscular athletes. they presented a pie ture of tense determination as they walked about the lobby of the hotel ex- cited, restless. yet keeping well within bounds that superabundance of pent-up energy and nervous tension resultant from . day of thankless ease.
 The before the battle spirit was am ply in evidence on every hand. The prob able outcome of todays contest was on every tongue. Ardent admirers talked football as they lolled about the crowded lobby advising and gossiping with play CTS and coaches; old war horses-veterans s,f nf 1aN 6raa mad 1,I watched with open admiration the stolid, drawn faces and lith movements If this assemblage of gridiron warriors. Friend and foe recognized the importance of the impending struggle, and the unconquer- able determination mirrowed in the face of every athlete bespoke a battle of no quarter on the field today.

meal of wholesome viands before he would consent to discuss the situation. No, we didn't come to keep the score down. were the first words of the Grim son coach. "I understand Tech Is doped to win but as rule the people who do the most predicting know the least about 1t. l am not claiming a victory for Ala bama, but 1 do say that we are here to win, and 1 believe We have an excellent chance. My team Is not in as good con dItion as I hope to have it later on, but we are offering no excuses Alabama sup porters may rest assured that the Crim- son will enter the game tomorrow deter mined and confident, and if we are de- feated it will be after bitter struggle from whistle to whistle.
 
 Coach Heisman's stalwart contingent arrived on the scene about two hours later. At first appearance the Georg gia eleven seems considerably heavier than their Alabama rivals. Heisman's athletes are tall and rangy in contrast with the somewhat stockily built Crimson warriors. They appear equally as determined as the Alabamians, and there was a smile of cheer upon Coach Heisman's face when he was asked for statement.
 I've are expecting a hard game" de- clared the Georgia wizard. Alabama is always an uncertain proposition and this year I understand she has both weight and experience. Candidly I think Tech will win. have great confidence in the boys, although seven of them are new men. Of course, we may be beaten, but 1 don't think so."
 The opinions of the two coaches not withstanding. the general idea in Birming- ham is that victory is destined to rest with the Yellow Jackets when the game today shall have passed into history. But many hold that Alabama is going to show a stronger front than has been pre- dicted. Obviously the Crimson machine has been primed to the last notch of eff ficiency in preparation for the battle. Tech, it Is said. is taking her opponents too lightly, while the Alabama warrior is sternly aware of the gigantic task that stands before him.
 If Tech Is overconfdent, however it's eleven fails to show it. Both teams ap- pear determined and ready, expecting a bitter fight, and every indication points to the fact that they will not be disap- pointed.
