Nashville, November 4.-(Special l--"Nir- ginia is just about two touchdowns bet ter than Vanderblt."
 There IS the consensus of opinion among supporters of the comnodores who left 20 strong, and accompanied by small but loyal bunch of rooters for Charlottes- vile Thursday morning to grapple in the football classic of the season. Even Virginia supporters in this section are not hopeful of seeing the defenders of their alma mater roll up a larger score on the McGuginites thap difference of two drives across the goal line, in spite that in weight, experience and bunting the Warner machine has a big bulge on the Commodores.
 Taking the official weights, sent out from Charlottesville, as a basis for com parison, with the weights of the Commo- dores, as made public by Coach McGugin, the Virginia clan stacks up around 174 pounds to 169 on an average. which is quite difference. Added to that the Virginia line and back field has worked together longer than McGugin's charges, iol Wtli tilS c&ttpIlOll ol IedDOll 1uAIS the dashing Commodore quarter, the Vandy back field Is practically new.
 Among the array of Vandy punters and there are four who can boost the oval along when an actual danger pre- sents itself, none can compare with the mighty Thurman, nor is there drop kicker in the Commodore outfit who can expect to cope with the marvellous Tip pett, whose nervy shot for the cross bars snatched victory from the jaws of defeat down at Athens, Ga. Curry, Funk Chester, sub end; Tommy Zerfoss and Bill Friel are all average punters, about on par with the ordinary booter.
 In fact, the entire Vandy outfit Is put up in that fashion-no shining lights in any particular place, unless Curry may be eXcepted-but there is no denying that the outfit this season stands head and shoulders over any Vandy machine in the past several years. To certain ex-

of the Baptists will suffer their first check of the season
 It is generally predicted that if the Methodists can stop the onrush of the we'll trained backs, the Pinson charges will probably record a win. Trick plays forward passes and all sorts of puzzling formations are being perfect ed at the Methodist camp and if the Baptists are able to dissolve this form of attack, likewise, the win is expect ed to drift their way.
 Howard vii loutweigh the Method ists only four pounds to the man, all of which the .Methodists expect to off, set by their speed. At any phase oi the game that you compare the two rivals 1t is almost a draw figure to superior team.
 The game will start at 2:3O. Streit, Auburn. will referee and Brumage of B. A. c. will umpire, and will act as head 1inesman.

He doesn't know his own power. don't believe you peo- pie realize your own power, literally The fact that this development hasn't been made before would suggest that your good people don't thoroughly ap- preciate their natural endowment in Cypress creek valley. In all my obser- yations and these have extended over a considerable portion of, the country I never saw quite such obvious possibili- ties as today lie right here in hand7 me- down form. Nature seldom does such thorough preliminary work and to not take advantage of it would be laying aside ones own talents.

ly hoped for There is lacking a unison and smoothness in play and tho pre- cision that marked the former famous Vandy machines has never been exhib- tied to any noticeable extent. Nor is there cohesiveness in the attack, de- spite the fact that in the secret prac- tice which has prevailed for the past two weeks the coaches have driven the squad at grueling rate. There have been but few serimmages since the bulk of the coaching efforts has centered about pounding speed into the eleven and trying to round out the teamw orL, which all season has been rather dis appointing.
 They are probably right-Virginia is Just about two touchdowns better than the Conmodores.

Big Sales of Madison County Farm Lands
 Huntsville November 4.-Special. .)--One thousand water meters have been ordered by the city of Huntsville from a Brooklyn concern and when they reach here they will be placed on the premises of all water consumers. The decision to do away with the flat monthly water rate to consumers was reached at one of the first meetings of the business mems committee and the city commissioners who have been con sidering every possible means of cutting city expenses and increasing its income. It is estimated that the city pumping station has been pumping three simes enough water to supply city of this size, and most of it is wasted. The in- stallatio of meters is expected to save about SS000 in the operation of the water works s

 rnent Attached for $i,50O.

The store of David P Con1tois who has been engaged in the undertaking and furniture business in this city for a number of years. was closed Fri day morning. with eight attachments for a total of S1, 500.
 Deputy Sheriff Greenslit of this citv has had a man in charge of the store room in the rear for 3, week and an opportunity was given Mir Contois to raise the money in that time. but without avail Thursday a keeper was put in the store proper and the days receipts taken by the sheriff. That night MT. Comtois turned the keys over to the sheriff and the chances are he may go into bankruptcy.
 It is said that there is over s2O, 900 on the books of the store, so that unless there is a large amount out in debts or notes, it would seem that the creditors will get their bills paid in full. There may be devc1opments to af dthe situation today.
