 Mrs. Octavius Cohen of Charleston, S. C., who is the guest of her son and daughter, MT. and Mrs. Octavus Roy Cohen, at the home of Mrs. F. H. Lo- peg, was entertained with an elaborate luncheon today at the Tutwiler hotel by the Council of Jewish Women of Birmingham. Mrs. Cohen is a member of the national board and chairman of the board for establishment of re- 1igious schools. This distinguished vis- itor made an excellent talk today on the work being done by the organi- zation which was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by those present. Several members of the Birmingham organiza- ton also made short talks.

tackle and guard after serving at cen ter his first year. This year Robinson and Kearley were lost from the end positions and Donahue at once sent Steed to left end where he showed earmarks of becoming a star.
 Auburn soon suffered the loss of Hairston, however, and there was no one on the squad who could fill the position as capably as Steed. Hairston returned for game and Steed was used at fullback. He starred here until his services were needed again at left half and so he returned to that po- sition and assumed the duties of do- ing the forward passing and did well in that respect. But all the while Au- burn had Caughlan there to direct the teams attack
 Now there Is little hope of Caugh- man entering the game so Donahue has been forced to make his. latest switch and moved Steed to quarterback, where he is directing the teams play. Shorty Wren, alias the human shoestring,' will step into the position at left halfback This will considerably light en the weight of the team and will be a great handicap to Auburn, this fre- quent switching of the backfeld men.
 Auburn had high hopes of victory until it became known that the team will be without the services of Hair ston and most probably without the services of Caughman, but with all the loss Auburn still believes she has chance for victory and will fight as she never fought before to humble the Commodores.

aside from admitting that the team would not be able to present its strongest lineup on account of the numerous injuries and the disbarment of Fullback Wiggs.
 It is barely possible that Captain Cohen will start at end, but the chances for his playing more than a small DOT tion of the early period are extreme ly remote.
 This afternoon the squad went through the last workout. Signal drills and a session of defensive work against the Auburn plays made up the finishing touches which kept the can didates out until long after the city lights were lit. The players who will make the trip are as follows: Reyer, center; Williams, center or guard; Hamilton, guard or tackle; Putnam. guard; Haynes. sub guard Cody, tackle; Lipscomb, tackle; Blair, sub end; Cohen (captain), end; Adams, end; Chester, end; Richardson, end; Hayes, end; Curry, quarter; Northcutt, quar- ter; Jarrett, full; Roach, quarter Ger foss, half; Morrison, half; Ridley, quarter; Floyd, half; Turner. half Ray, full; Teague, center; F'riel, half.

 fullback, could hardly be said to off set the loss uburn sustains in the fact that Hairston will not be able to enter the game. While Wiggs was Vanderbilt dependence on the offense and defense, still he was not the star that was Hairston, who has been re- garded as Auburn's greatest backfield performer His value lay not alone in his ability to carry the ball nor yet in his strength in backing up the line for he was besides this a great field general and one of the best interfer- ence runners on the squad. His loss is a great blow to Auburn and the an nouncement that there is absolutely not a chance of his entering the con- test has cut down any edge which Au- burn may have been supposed to have
 In addition to the loss of Hairston, Auburn will most probably be with out the services of Caughman, as his injured knee cap has not rounded to form as rapidly as it had been hoped. With the loss of these two field gen erals, Coach Donahue is placed in a ouadary as to who shall direct the teams attack.
 However. it is another case of Steed to the rescue. The rangy. unassuming lad Is the most versatile performer Auburn ever had and in Auburns foot ball "hall of fame" there will be few who will deserve more prominent place. Last season he was played at

Dear Young Men and Boys:-As
few are left among you who remem-
Der my father. the late James Max
well. man whom you all would have
loved and admired. I have made Tor
you bas-relief of him and OF his only
son, James II. Maxwell. whose death
by drowning at the Lexington, Nir-

passing with credit his entrance ex-
aminations, broke my fathers heart.
The boy was born in the house next
door to you, where the Public Library
now stands and buried from there on
his sixteenth birthday.
1T is very appropriate that the
Library stands there. as my fathers
last act was TO attend a meeting or

make sure OF the reelection of the
Librarian. II was an oppressive even
ing. he had not felt well all day, ana
after the meeting visited his physi-
clan and passed away while waiting
for street car TO take him home.

ated the idea OF building a memorial

mortal bronzes.-which being made
