Scientific View Of Universe.

Science" says one of the best

probability that there are regions In
the universe where no organic life ex-
lists, stars which shine on no inhabit-

animal creatures. The astronomical
view OF the universe is that it con-
sists Of matter In every stage OF evo-
luton; some nebulous and chaotic;
some just condensing into stars
(suns) OF every magnitude and order;
shaped into finished solar bodies sur
rounded by dependent planets; some
forming stars that perhaps have no
planets and will have none; some con-
shutting suns that are already aging.
and will soon lose their radiant en-
srgy and disappear; and some aggre-
gated into masses that long ago be-

ID FURNISH LINE 0N M|SS|SS|PP|A. & M. Game With Kentuckians To- day Will Forecast Auburn
 Struggle Saturday

Agricultural College Miss, October 15 Special. the Mississippi Ag- gies lock horns with the Colonels from the University of Kentucky on the local gridiron. On the outcome of this battle the chances of the Agges against the Auburn Plainsmen on the following Sat urday at Birmingham will largely be judged. So far this season the locals hold a clean slate. They easily defeated the Mississippi college eleven early in the sea- son and were held to a scoreless tie by the strong Pennsylvania aggregation only by a bit of hard luck on the part of the locals The Pennsylvania team came her aided as weighing 1SO pounds stripped weight, but this weight was able to make only two first downs in the game last Saturday to the Aggies' nine first downs. With the ball on Transylvania's Award line. with two downs in which to make it in, the end of the first quarter came with the subsequent midfield kickoff. The Az gies barely failed on two field goals in that game.
 The locals emerged from that conflict in much better condition than they were in after the initial game of the season. With the exception of Carpenter, the in- vincible in the line, who is suffering with malaria the team Will meet the colonel in fair shape. The return of Odon, a star quarter of last year. who was unable to play on the varsity because of the one- year rule. the Aggies have three prospec- tive quarter backs that can be depended upon. Both Noble and Bobo are going good in this position. Scott, who played a great game Saturday at end in place of Gaddy, who was in the hospital will likely alternate with Gaddy at this position. Scott placed fourth in the Panama-Pa- cihc Amateur Athletic union meet this season and his speed is serving him we'll at end
 The probable lineup for the Aggies in the game Saturday will be Spurock, cen ter: Brunson, Henson, Patten. and Me Arthur. guards: captain, Raney; Carpen- ter, Martin. and Banks. tackles: Gaddy. Shaw Scott and Hamilton, ends; Noble, Bobo, quarterbacks: Simmons Schwill Jones and Odon, half backs; Jackson and Gaddy, full backs.
 Reports reaching here from the Ken tucliians have it that they are coming in force and expect to duplicate the trick of last season by defeating the Aggies While the locals are expecting a stiff fray. they are vet confident of their ability to annex the Kentucky scalp to their belt.

Auburn Clemson Go Feature of Today
Auburn Is Keyed Up For
 Clemson Battle Today
Team Which Last Week Defeated Tennessee Will Clash With Tigers Today-Bidez May Not Be Able to Get In Game This Afternoon

Auburn, October 5.-(SpeciaL )-That Auburn will have her hands. also her arms full in caring for the Clemson sion. When the Tigers from the Planes meet the Tigers from the Uplands the fur is sure to fly. Clemson sees her first chance to defeat Auburn in the last several years and she means to fight to the utmost to accomplish this feat. Auburn, on the other hand, is striving to maintain the prestige she has earned by two undefeated campaigns against the cream of the southland.
 Auburn will enter the game without the services of any of her frst-year men and cannot depend upon them for reserve strength, for she will meet Clemson under Class "A" rules. Hairston is in much better shape than last Sat urday, when he was forced to stick to the sidelines and witness the Florida Auburn game, and he will most proba- bly be at his old stand in the contest this week -end. An injury to Bidez in the scrimmage Wednesday afternoon when the charging fullback injured his leg, seemed once as if it would seri- ously handicap Auburn by forcing her captain from the lineup, but this morn
 ing the situation is somewhat inn proved IS Bidez is able to limp around a little. He will be kept out of all sig nal practice and will possibly be in fair shape for the coming contest. If Bidez or any other regular is incapacitated for this game then Auburn will be seri- ously handicapped.
 Auburn will have the hardest sled

UNIVERSITY SQUAD IS IN
 DOUBTFUL CONDITION
Barnett and Love Will Not Be Able to Go Up
 Against Mississippi and Others Report Injur- ies--Grif Harsh Put In at Quarter and Hagan
 At Half

University October 15.-(Special) Facing one of the critical games of the season. the Alabama football squad is in a rather doubtful condition. Sew eral of the players have reported minor injuries during the last week, while two of the veterans, Barnett left guard, and Love, right end, have not been on the field for three or four days, and will not possibly be able to
 go up against Mississippi college. Both
 are out with malaria, and if they re-
 turn in time to get back into harness
 for the Sewanee game of October 30,
 Alabama students will not have occa- sion to complain.
 Right end has given Coach Kelly much worry since practice first began.
 Love failed to report for nearly two
 weeks and when he finally did so he
 was not able to attain his true form
 because of weakness from the fever.
 There was then and still is no one to
 run In his place. but Coach Kelly seems
 to have settled on Stephenson as the
 best man to shift from halfback to end.
 Stephenson has had the experience
 needed for a good end and his tack
 ling has been of the stellar variety.
 However. he lacks Loves weight and
 will meet with much trouble in dis
 posing of Mississippi colleges big
 tackles.
 The back field will be changed con
 siderably and will look but little as it did when it lined up against Bir- mingham college. In all probability Griffith Harsh will be run at quarter and Dink Hagan at right half. It is the disposal of these two men that has given Coach Kelly most of his back field worries. Hagan started out as first quarterback and ran the first team for three weeks with but little competi- tion but Griff Harsh has come to the front with such a rush that he seems to have taken the leadership for him self and caused Hagan to be shifted to right half. Here the Mobile boy will do much better than in his former position if the way he has been run ming over everybody from half in prac- tice is a proper indication.
 If the injury that Goree Johnson
 sustained recently can be abated suf- ficiently by Saturday afternoon ther the former scrub player is almost cer- tain of having a chance at alternating with Brannan. Both men have plenty of drive and the one who an show the most in other respects will get the job in the end.
 Coach Kelly has given the men light. CT work this week than since the first ! of the year. Only one real scrimma ge has been held. while two afternoons
 have been devoted to more particular

ding this season she has ever experi- enced not only because of the scarcity Of material for the varsity but also be- cause in this lack of experience and weight every opponent of Auburn sees a chance to humble the Tigers. Even the squad from Florida came with the intention of defeating Auburn and were trained, conditioned and tuned for the fray. In other years Florida probably more sure of being defeated did not try to key up' for this contest. Clemson, as stated above, fully intends to hum ble Auburn, and they claim that two touchdown margin of victory will be theirs. Whether they are able to bear out this claim or not remains to be seen, but anyway they are adding ex- tra touches for the encounter.
 Mississippi A & M has long had vis- ions of throwing the harpoon into Au- burn in her early season contest and has come very near doing so on more than one occasion. This year she says that she intends accomplishing the feat Following this game Auburn meets the University of Georgia and Cunningham is itching for the game and chance to put the championship crimp into Au- burn should she survive that long. Then comes Mercer.
 The following week the seasons classic is staged with Vanderbilt and Dan McGugin, aided and abetted by every a1umnus of that institution, is preparing to give Auburn defeat. Of course Auburn will be there in the pre- pairing stage also, but Auburn has neith- CT the experience nor the material which Vanderbilt has this season.
