TENNESSEE IS , ID 3 FAVOR|TE OVER THE SEWANEE BATTLERS

Chattanooga, November 13.-(Spe- cial. rules to favor ite over Sewanee in their annual-bat- tie tomorrow here tonight. Hackers of the Purple were generally asking 2 to l.
 Both teams are in Chattanooga to- night. Tennessee arrived shortly before noon and took a workout this after noon at Andrews field. Sewanee ar rived from the mountain shortly be- fore o'clock.
 Indications are that the crowd to- morrow will be the largest in the his- tory of football in Chattanooga. The Knoxville delegation is coming l5o0 strong in the morning on three special trains, while fourth special will bring the entire population of tho mountain down from Sewanee.
 | Hundreds of supporters of the two teams had arrived tonight from near | by towns. The fact that Sewanee de- feated Alabama eight points worse than did Tennessee has failed to affect the | odds in the least.
 1 Both elevens are reported in tho pink 1 of condition and will use their regular l line-ups with the exception that Rainey
 may not start for Tennessee.

ENTHUSIASM AT AUBURN REACHES
 HIGHEST PITCH Big Mass Meeting Held Thursday Night-Mem- bers of Team Make
 Speeches

Auburn, November 1S.-- Especial. )--Au-
 burn is on it's way to meet Vanderbilt
 The Tiger eleven comprising % men and
 coaches left here today and will arrive
 in Birmingham at an early hour tonight The Auburn special train will reach Bir-
 minglam Saturday morning.
 Enthusiasm is at a high pitch and right
 now the spirit in evidence is the best
 ever seen on the Auburn campus. The
 Auburn student body. who will accom-
 pany the team to the game on spe-
 cial train, have been practicing several
 formations and learning yells and songs
 with the intention of showing Birmng-
 ham some real college spirit
 At a mass meeting last night several
 old stars were back for speeches. some
 of the notable being Daddy Locke, Ho-
 mer Cogdell and Tick Tichenor. who spoke in highest praise of the Auburn team of 1914. but told the students that
 they would have the fight of their lives next Saturday. Coach Donahue made a
 short talk in which he spoke of the hard luck that seemed to be following the team this year in the way of injuries He said that while we would probably enter the game without the services of one or two stars, that would not deter them from entering the game with the intention of playing the best possible game. and that the team would be fighting to the end Several of the players made speeches, Arnold and Thigpen, both of whom could hardly get to the stage. stating that If their legs stayed on them they would
 get into the game for short while any way.
 Vanderbilt's goat, which has feasted on
 green pastures since last year. returned
 to the camp of the Tigers yesterday and
 was on hand at the mass meeting last
 night. Commodore Billy said he was still with Auburn and would do all in his power to help Auburn to a decisive vic- tory.
 Hard scrimmages continue to be the order of the day and in an effort to give the varsity lineup the hardest possible work several of the veterans of former years have assumed duties on the scrubs. John Davis, one of the greatest fullbacks ever produced at Auburn, is subjectine the line to some severe charges and every effort is being made to get the team on the greatest possible edge.

 Honors were even yesterday afternoon In the annual football struggle between Howard and Birmingham college. Time was called with the score to and the ball practically in the middle of the field.
 Both teams missed victory by the mar rowest possible margin. Twice Howard had the ball inside Birmingham's five yard line, and both times the Methodists held, and the ball was kicked out of danger. Birmingham was cheated of vic tory by failure to kick goal. The de- cision was so close that many of the Birmingham college students thought that it was a goal, but the referee saw 1t the other way.
 The game was hard fought and savage with frequent penalties. That the play was not swifter was not the fault of the play CTS, but of the field, which was muddy on the infield and slippery as ice on the grass Considering the wet weather the play was remarkable.
 Birmingham went through the game without substitution, something seldom seen. Noojin shifted his attack several times and sent in subs frequently.
 Both teams used mass play almost ex- clusively But two forward passes were attempted, one by each quarter. Birming- ham got away with theirs but the Howard attempt struck the ground. In line plung- ing both teams had good men. Roach for Howard and K Capps for Birmingham played finely. Another star on the How ard team was Robinson. the quarter De spite the fact that he was injured in the first few minutes of play, he stuck 1t out and ran the team with good judgment
 Use Mass Play
 Both teams had a particularly good back field, but that of Howard was used to better advantage. Substantial gains were made around both ends of the Bir- mingham line. although the runner was frequently thrown behind his own me stronger, while Howard had the stronger attack.
 The game started off with a rush. How ard won the toss and elected to defend the west goal. In the first 10 minutes of play Birmingham rushed the ball over through the line, K. Capps carrying the ball the greater part of the time and scoring the touchdown. Then came the play which cost Birmingham victory. It was a per feet kick-out and the ball was almost ir front of the goal post. F. Capps at- tempted to kick and made & pretty at. tempt, but the referee said it did not SC over.
 There was no additional scoring in the quarter. Howard came back strong ir the second quarter. After few prelimi-

to no-score tie by Lafayette, the Red and Blue came back strong against the Navy, winning 1S to 6. Carlisle and Swarthmore were defeated in turn and then Michigan swamped the Quakers 3l to 3.
 Dartmouth, were it not for the defeat at the hands of Princeton. today would be ranked as one of the invincible teams of the east. Not an eleven, except the Tigers, has crossed the Hanoverians' goal line. If Pennsylvania wins tomorrow 1t will be another of the seasons startling upsets.
 Both the Army and the Navy have selected Maine college combinations as opponents and should win. Harvard faces Brown in the final game before tackling Yale.
 The leading eastern games tomorrow, with the scores of last season, are:

The lone score came in the third quarter and caused an abrupt halt in the tilt. as the visitors were willing to call the game at the end of the period.
 The winning tally was a direct result of Leach's 6o-yard run. The Freshmen quarter caught a kick in his own ter ritory and would have scored but for a Blount player grabbing his sweater. After two ineffective line bucks for ward pass to Burnett produced a touchdown.

MANDY HAS LAST
 WORKOUT; TEAM
 STOPS IN DECATUR
Another Sudden Shift Made in the Line-Up-Sam Chester Goes to
 Left End

Decatur November 13.-(Special) Another shift has been made in the Vandy lineup. This time it is Glenn Reams to half and sam Chester, "Yunk's" younger brother to left end. The change is the result of the injuries to Bob Turner and Kent Morrison which will prohibit them from starting the contest against Auburn Both these men were exceptionally strong in the bacl1feld and their loss was no slight blow However Reams is quite some backfield man himself and is touted to fill the gap with q superabundance of class.
 Sam Chester is an era of some ex- perience, having served for two years on the left flank of the reserves and his work Saturday is expected to be of the best McGugin style. The squad was put through a fairly hard workout Thursday afternoon on Dudley weld and the majority of the players are in the best possible condition. They have not lost confidence in themselves and their determination to exterminate the Au- burnites has featured all their work since the Tennessee game

HOWARD AND OWENTON
 MAY PLAY SECOND BATTLE

It is quite probable that an other game will be arranged be- tween Howard and Birmingham college. It was said yesterday afternoon that a formal chal- 1enge would be issued during the next two or three days.
 The rivalry between the two colleges is somewhat akin to that which prevailed between Alabama and Auburn in the old days. Neither team was satisfied yesterday to let the to 6 score stand and it is understood that there is considerable sentiment for another game. A second bat tie would prevent wrangling as to which was the better team.
 Another point in favor of the second battle is the condition of the field yesterday. Neither team could do itself justice on the heavy gridiron. Then, too, with better weather a larger crowd would attend.
 Neither team has a game for next Saturday and there is, no game scheduled for Birming- ham, so that there are no ob- stacles to the return engage ment.

The Auburn eleven reached Birmingham early last night. With the exception of Arnold and Thigpen, every man appeared to he in line shape. Twenty-Five men. in cluding managers and coaches, made the trip. The special train bearing Auburn students will arrive this morning.
 Coach Donahue when visited last night was in a serious frame of mind, The Tiger chieftain appears confident, but it is evident that he is taking the Commo- dores with great seriousness.
 We are ready he said shortly when pressed for a statement That Is about all I wish to say. We are not underesti- mating Vanderbilts strength. 1 look for even harder game than last year, but we have prepared carefully and cautiously for the game today and we will enter 1t to win or to lose without alibi or excuse of any kind.

Never perhaps in it's history has Birmingham been so keenly aroused to football situation as it is today.
 On every tongue is word of the i'm pending struggle, and on every corner the Orange and Blue of Auburn and the Gold and Black of the Vanderbilt COmmodores flaunts proudly in the breeze.
 Hundreds already have reached the city to witness the battle this afternoon and hundreds more are yet to arrive before the referees whistle calls the souths pre- miere grldiron machines to combat.
 The champions of the south this morn ing are resting in their quarters at the Hillman hotel, chafing under restraint and awaiting impatiently the battle this aft ernoon The long, gaunt Tiger of the planes, fresh from an endless series of victories and with Dixie's title lashed to is crest. is ready. No one after visiting Auburn's quarters can gainsay this. Throughout the season he has been held in check. Today he will be unleashed and sent amid the plaudits of thousands of spectators into battle where every ounce of latent prowess and every minute of preparation will be called into play. For months has Auburn been prepared to meet the emergency today. Today this prepa- ration is complete. Auburn has reached it's maximum of efficiency. The old power and drive is there; the superb Auburn spirit, the dogrnatic determination is there, and Auburn will enter the game this afternoon determined and confident of bringing again to Alabama the title of which she is so justly proud.

Tobacco is Injurious to Boys.

Smoking is certainly harmful to boys
and young men. Athletic sports are the
best means of finding this out. An ath.
'1ete who uses tobacco is very apt to
injure his heart and usually the blame
is labeled athletics"
A tobacco user lacks energy, his
training is hard work rather than a
pleasure. his digestion is not what it
should be, he is unreliable in COMPETE
ton or in a pinch, he can not recuper-
ate rapidly after hard struggle, and
he does not repeat as readily as one
who does not use tobacco. Invariably
a smoker thinks he can run l00-yard
dash, a mile run or any other distance
and do as well as a non-smoker. He will
perhaps for a number of times, but the
double strain of the use of tobacco and
strenuous exercise is likely to perms-
nently injure the heart action.
It is rather a difficult proposition to
explain these things to young fellow;
but if we could tell him the same thing
ten years later or after he has learned
from experience he would undoubtedly
agree with us.-Harry L. Hilman in The
Medical Times.

for FALL SEEDING and
TOP DRESSING.

Many farmers are finding il to their
advantage to seed down in the fall
claiming that by so doing they are apt
to get a much better catch than they
do when they follow the usual prac'
tiee and seed down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top dress
ing grass land. Some of the most pro-
gressiye farmers put on top-dressing inn
mediately after haying, with perhaps a
small application of nitrate of soda the
following spring.

ents, full directions for mixing, etc.
These formulas have been approved by
