IDEFEATTURNED INTO
VICTORY BY MARION
YER HOWARD TEAM
Long Forward Pass Three Minutes of Play Day
for Clarkson's Cadets-Banouet for Teams.
Big Crowd Sees Game

Selma, October 31.-(S pecial.)-After a
tremendous struggle, during which How
ard led the Marion team by a score OF
Z to 6, the latter by long forward
passed scored a touchdown and won the
game here today in the last three minutes
of play the score being 10 to z.
About 1870 of the student body, who
came over from Marion, together with
about 100 other Marion folk, who made
the trip to root for the cadets; these,
together with hundred, of Selmians,
made the air ring WITH cheers for the
Marions, inspiring them to efforts that
made it hard for the Howard team, with
their IS representatives, to combat.
The score was nothing to nothing for
the first half. Marion made the first
touchdown in the third quarter. but failed
to kick goal Howard then made touch
down and kicked goal, making the score
Z to in favor of Howard. 1t looked
like victory for the Birmingham team at
this moment, but with only a few min
utes to spare Marion made a long for
ward pass and touchdown, and Gibson
kicked goal.
Following the game Coach Longwell of
Howard expressed his pleasure at the
treatment accorded his men during the
game and had no complaints to make.
The Marion team outweighed his men
about six pounds to the man.
At o'clock the teams were guests of
Gen. c.. w. Hooper and his staff at
banquet at the Hotel Albert. The Ma
rion bunch, 100 strong, marched into
the dining room headed by their band,
after having paraded the streets for an
hour cracking the air with their yells.

In the backfie1d the greatest revo-

ing ability; the halfbacks were too
light and lacked in speed. Dobbins and
Turner were brought back to buck but
when they left the line the forwards
failed to make "holes" for them. Hence
it was that the Tigers were Il superb

Chattanooga, October Especially
Watch Sewanee That's the tip from
friends of the Tennessee mountaineers.
The Tigers are developing gradually
under Coach Cope and if University of
Alabama supporters are anticipating
an easy triumph next. Saturday they
are vastly mistaken if underground"
reports are to be believed. The
strength of this years Sewanee team
has been carefully concealed. The
Tigers suffered from overconfidence
and poor officiating at Kentucky State,
where they should have won with ease,
while against Louisiana State Cope by
no means Opened up his offense,
while using his very best on defense.
The Tigers are vastly stronger this
year than last. Several sterling re-
eruits from Texas and a few Tonnes
see prep school athletes have been
secured to fill the vacant places in
the line. The loss of Dobbins and Tur-
ner has been more than offset. The
Tigers are perhaps not quite so strong
extensively in the line. but are in
S3nitely stronger in the back1eld,
where the 1915 combination was en-
treIy lacking in scoring power. 1t is
said that so Iar from uepioTllS the
loss OF Turner that the big tackle was
regarded as a breeder of dissension and
that the Tiger tackles really will ac-
complish more in a game this year,
though minus the occasional brilliancy
OF the former Georgia all southern
