FOURTEEN DEATHS RESULT FROM PAST
 FOOTBALL SEASON
One Alabama Youth Killed. None of Players Members
 of Big" College Teams

Football is becoming more civilized. This statement is strongly supported by the fact that only IA American youths were killed on the gridiron during the past season. This list is a considerable reduction from the one of previous years.
 The majority of the deaths were boys from 15 to F years of age. None of those
 killed were members of any big
 college football team. The direct result
 of this must be because of the coaching
 the boys receive at college Practically
 all were members of some high school team.
 Alabama was represented in the list. David Chambers of Decatur was killed
 early in the football season by having
 his skull fractured. It was the only
 casualty in several years in Alabama.
 Most of the dead players lived in the
 northern states.
 Following is list of those killed in football games during the season just closed: Don Apples, aged 15, Lima (Ohio) High ceived in practice. fIOyu RollnS, aged H. Austin, Tex, burst blood vessel in scrimmage. Chauncey Lyman. aged 21. University

BIC LAND OWNERS
 !. HELPING ID RETARD WORK ON HIGHWAY
Keller Thinks Their Apathy Will Be Responsible if Alabama Loses
 Route
By l.. S. hETsrY

Montgomery, December 1.-(Specfal.) That the inactivity of the big land owners of the state is contributing Alabama's chances of securing the Jackson highway is the opinion of w. S. Kellar, state highway engineer.
 Engineer Keller told The Age Herald correspondent today that he was great Iy disappointed at the lack of interest which the large property owners, living along the proposed route, have so far manifested in the highway, and ex-
 pressed the belief that Alabamas chances of securing the southern end of the road are dependent entirely upon the efforts of such persons. "It is known that the worst roads over which the members of the Jack
 son Highway association travelled in
 Alabama were found in Washington,
 Mobile and Clarke counties" said MT.
 Keller, land if Alabama does not se- cure the Jackson highway it will be be- cause of the roads in those counties. The members of the pathfinding com
 mittee did not hesitate to tell me that Washington and Mobile counties of- fered the greatest drawback to Ala bamas chances, and they further vol unteered the information that they be- | lieved the large land owners of Wash I ington and Mobile counties would alone given to Mississippi.
 1 There are many large and rich land I owners in Washington and Mobile l counties Some of these men own from 1 10000 to 50,O0O acres of land, and al though the proposed Jackson highway leads through their lands they have not 1 yet manifested particle of interest l in the project.
 l "Clarke county also has some bad ] roads, but, through the efforts of one large land owner in that county, we ihaye been assured that every foot o1 1 the road will be constructed in thai county by next fall.
 ] Engineer Keller declared that the people most interested in securing the Jackson highway are those who will De the least benefited He called attention 1 to the efforts of the various civic bod l ies of the state in the matter of ere ating enthusiasm and interest in the project, and declared that they were ac- ! tuated more by state pride than by the hope of any benefits which they might lreceive.
 1. q am anticipating a big meeting 1T Birmingham on December 16,' contfn- ued Engineer Keller. "At that meeting ! plans will be formulated whereby we 1 shall carry on an active campaign IT l the interest of securing the Jackson | highway Indications are that there will be large attendance 3t the meet ing.
 Among those whom should like te see present are the people who will be most benefited by the highway, par ticularly the large land owners. we can get these people interested l d' not think we will have any trouble 1T getting the highway.

JIMMY JOHNSTON JUMPS TO
 FEDS FROM COAST LEAGUI
Former Baron Refuses Have Salary Cu-Signs With New ark-Other Coast League Players Signing With Feds,
 Says Report From San Francisco

Jimmy Johnston, the former Baron and outfielder for the Chicago Americans and Nationals, has jumped to the Federal league. signing a contract for the coming season with Newark. Togethert with Johnston, numerous other Pacific Coast lcague players went into the realm of Federal league baseball.
 Jimmy's cause for quitting organized ball IS that he wasn't treated fairly. Last year Jimmy performed for Oakland at q fancy salary. At the last meeting of the Minor League Baseball association the Coast league suffered reduction ill the salary limit. Likewise, the Oakland management, following out instructions, cut every players salary.
 .'Speedy Jimmy was hit for $500 for the season, entirely too much. according to Jimmy. Others suffered like punish ment and likewise the Feds were able to increase their pay roll.

Equal Suffrage Activities

Fly pATrIE RUFrNER JACOBS

It is highly significant that no 'candi- date for commissioner has publicly de- clared against suffrage.
 While only three of the 13, MT, Shapiro, MT. Hornady and Mr. Ryall had the time and courage to put their favorable opinions in writing for the benefit of the voters, the others are content to express themselves verbally or not at all on the question.
 One interpretation which might be put upon their silence is this: That women, not having the vote and being dependent at the present time on what is commonly called indirect influence" should not be encouraged to exert this so-called in fluence for or against any candidate. . But if .influence'' is not enough for any woman to use, then these candidates are not real anti-sufragists; and, of course, if they are not antis, they must be suffragists.
 c. E. D. as we say in geometry.

sons in the rast half dozen. years. As predicted in The Age-Herald early this fall, AlabaJna for the first time in sew eral years put forward an eleven which could cope on equal footing with the best in the south. Her defeats came at the hands of two of the strongest elevens in the south, and her victories over repre- sentative southern elevens. Much credit for the showing of the Crimson Is due to Coach Nocjin, who assumed the helm following Head Coach Kelley's illness. Noojin well could have hopelessly marred the seascn for the Crimson as a less con- servatiYe pilot probably would have done. but he saw fit to follow the plans as mapped out by Kelley and thus was en-
 abled to keep his eleven in fighting trim
 without changt6g their whole style of play.
 While Alabama has passed through a successful season it is hard to see where the various southern critics are to give her but one position on the mythical "All Southern eleven. One place undoubtedly will go to VandeGraaff, the Crimson tackle, who has already been mentioned by a prominent eastern expert for all- American honors. Captain Bill Harsh de- serves honorable mention and were it not for competitors like Struper, Fielder Bidez and others, he might be given Ah-Southern recognition. Sanford is an- other man who has shown wonderful form this season, but as he has seen
 but one years service he is probably not sufficiently known to gain considerable mention.
 Neither Of these three men will return to Alabama next fall, and in addition to u em, Love, Barnette and WhttIesey will be lost from the varsity squad Coach Kelley, however, will have a wealth of new material to work with next season, in the event of his recov-
 cry, ana an even better season than the
 one just ended is promised.

Alabama's 8 championship asperations vanished in Atlanta some weeks ago when the Crimson suffered defeat at the hands of the Yellow Jackets. but even with this defeat and the one sustained a week later at the hands of the University of Texas aggregation. the Crimson cer- tainly merits a worthy position in the $. l. A. A. standing for the season. Elimi- mating Tech as a contender as that insti- tuition no longer is a member of the as- sociation, Alabama supporters are claim ing equal honors with Auburn and Mis- slssippf A. and M. as sharing berth just under the champion Commodores. Sewanee, Kentucky, Clemson, Mississippi and Georgia and Mercer have failed to show the class of the three colleges utose named. Two of these have been decsvely defeated by the Crimson and the others we're not played. Alabama, like Auburn, suffered but two defeats dur ing the season, one at the hands of the Yellow Jackets, who also conquered Au- burn, and enc at the hands of the Uni that defeat at the hands of the Texans should not impair the standing of Ala bama any more than Vanderbilts defeat at the hands of Virginia should put her title to first honors under a cloud, but even discourting for the western disaster the Crimson has lost but two games this season out of seven played, and thus has record second to none with whom she is claiming equal honors.
 While many are of the opinion that the Crimson would have had much better year but for the inopportune loss of Coach Kelly, Alabama has just passed through one of her most successful sea-
