METHODISTS READY
 TO MEET SOUTHERN

The Birmingham Panthers are earn estly at work, following their victory over Howard last Saturday, in prep aration for their Turkey Day battle with Southern university at Greens boro.
 They indulged in a light workout Monday and only limbered up, but yes terday there was a hard scrimmage. They will hold their final practice to- day and will depart early tomorrow. Much importance is attached to the game as the Panthers have been suc- cessful sp to date with their vic- tories and are confident of winning their last game. The Southern lads are confident of willing, too, as they fig ure that the Partners have broken training in celebrating their victory over Howard but judging from the amount of enthusiasm displayed in their workout yesterday such is not the case.
 No one is on the hospital list ex- cept a few minor bruises of the an kles and elbows, which speaks for the excellent condition the Methodists were in for their battle.

PLACE DECIDED FOR NEXT GOLF TOURNEY
 FOR NATIONAL TITLE
White Marsh Valley Coun- try Club Selected by the COmmittee-Must Be
 Sanctioned

New York, November 8.-The next na- tional championship of the United States Golf association will, in all probability, be played over the links of the White Marsh Valley Country club near Phil adelphia. This is indicated by the action of the executive committee of the Pro- fessional Golfers association, which yes- terday selected the Pennsylvania course.
 The United States Golf association turned over the selection of the three courses to be submitted at the annual meeting to the professional golfers with no qualification necessary, other than that the courses belong to clubs that are active members of the association
 While the selection is not final until ratified at the annual meeting of the United States Golf association, it is un- derstood that the wishes of the profess sional golfers will be respected, and that the tournament will be awarded accord ing to their choice.
 After the committee had decided upon holding the championship in the east, rather than on western course, the field was narrowed down to White Marsh Val ley, Braeburn Country club, near Boston, and the Sewanee, located a few miles north of Delaware water gap, at Shaw nee-On-the Delaware.
 The final vote stood 4 to 1 in favor of the White Marsh club. with Braeburn second and Shawnee third

CRIMSON FOLLOWERS EXPECTING DEFE A T IN TOMORROW'S s GAME
Victory for Alabama Will Mean Coach Kelley Has Accom- plished the Miracuous-Lack of Interest in Student
 Body-Former Spirit Missing
By c. ". GREER

University, November 2S.-(Special) Hoping against hope that Coach Kel- leys vigorous, but almost pathetic, ef- forts to restore his Crimson machine to something like a shade of its former self for the final battle of the foot ball season, Alabama supporters are waiting in dumb anxiety for the clash with the Red and Black of Georgia. Coach Kelley has overcome many han dicaps this season, but the consensus of opinion here is that if he can send against Georgia anything like the eleven which met Sewanee in Birming- ham some weeks ago he will have ac- complished the miraculous.
 Just what happened in New Orleans two weeks ago probably will never get to the ears of the snorting public gen. orally, but at present it suffices to say that almost in a. twinkling of an eye the conquerers of Sewanee, the ma chine which battled Georgia Tech to standstill, crumbled into demorization. Kelley has worked eagerly to instill the old time vigor and fight into his minions, but his efforts have met with scant success. Lacking the spirit which pervaded the Crimson campus prior to the Sewanee and Tech game, and here tofore at Alabama prior to all big games. The men seem willing enough, some of them, no doubt spurred on by the stinging qualms of conscience, but the old time fighting qualities, the pro- verbial Alabama determination, the ap- parent conscienciousnes of power, IS sadly missing.
 At the University this week there is an apparent lacking of interest. A special train is being planned to make the trip to Birmingham, but compara- lively few students will attend. Most of them will either remain at the Uni- versity for the Thanksgiving holiday or spend the day at home. Thus far 1

 mingham.
 On yesterday the decorations commit- tee, composed of Henry F. Beaumont,
 chairman; c. B. Ballard, w. H. Levie,
 Jelks Cabanss, D. T. Webster, w. S.
 Pritchard, H. M Powell and R. D. Cur rie, devoted the entire morning to systematic canvass of the downtown mer- chants.
 AS a result this city will be decorated for the Alabama Georgia game, beginning with tomorrow like it never has been for a football game. Widespread interest locally in the game and in the effort to
 make it a five-year annual affair, was found to exist and not a single individual was seen who did not cordially and promptly agree to cooperate to the extent of either having exterior decorations or window displays.
 As is now well known Gov. and Mrs Charles Henderson will be a guest of
 honor at the game and Governor Hender- son will sell the first sheet of Red Cross seals to be sold in the 1916 Ahti-Tubercu- | losis campaign to the highest bidder just 1 before the game.
 1 It was announced on yesterday, also, 1 that the Boy Scouts would attend the game 1 in body and the executive committee l in charge of the details of the Turkey l Day. game on which Borden Burr is general Cnalfmdn, declared a SpeCldl Tdle 1 for all Boy Scouts attending the game in ! uniform.
 1 An unique feature, significant of the en- l thusiastic interest being taken in the game, is the numbers of those interested | both in Alabama and Georgia observed l on the streets today wearing their 1 college colors, Crimson and White, | for Alabama, and Red and Black for Georgia. While it is quite the thing to
 wear your "colors' on the afternoon of
 the game, it has never though quite a 1 habit in the east where football is ex- tremely popular, been done some several days ahead of the game as it is now. | Possibly 400 or 500 members of the joint | alumni bodies were among those wearing their respective colors while the number | today will undoubtedly be largely in- | creased.
 l The Georgia team, which will come with | a phalanx of fully 200 supporters from | Athens, and with 300 or 400 Atlanta boos- | ters, will arrive here early this morning,
 and though it is now known that Gov. 1 Nat Harris of Georgia will be unable to | come, yet elaborate preparations have l been made for the reception of the Geor- | gia crowd.
 l The final details for the Georgia recep- ton and for the automobile parade, which is being arranged by a committee of I which Judge Alvin Douglas is chairman,
 will be touched off at the meeting this
 morning.

And in the meanwhile pity and not blame is felt for the supporters of the Crimson who are thus victims of their own folly at the University. Kel- ley this season had worked into shape the greatest machine that has repre- scented the state university in halt dozen years. It had power, ability, and fight, but it lacked one requisite-the indomitable spirit of loyalty and moral courage, proverbial of Alabama elevens in the days of old when the southern welkin rang in praise of the fearless work of the thin red line"

On the eve of their annual strug- gle. Central High and Bessemer High have reported in perfect condition for their annual scrap at Redwood Field tomorrow morning in the game which will decide the championship of the Alabama Interscholastic Athletic con- ference for the 1916 season. Coach Pritchard gave Central their final workout yesterday afternoon with a strenuous signal drill and with a light practice today will be in the best trim of the season to meet the ancient rival.
 Bessemer, likewise, held their final in excellent condition for the fray. odds in their favor, but are expect aggregation.
 Bessemer followers are placing their hope on Charley Scott, the fleet-foot- ed halfback; and Ralph Snyder. the husky center Both are valuable men and will give Central serious trou- ble. Scott is an excellent broken field runner and last year got away for a ,75-yard circle around one of Central S Hanks, scoring the winning touch down. He is in perfect trim.
 The game promises to be the best staged in Birmingham in several years between high school teams Great rivalry exists between the two institutions and the entire schedule previously is played with the Thanks giving clash in view. The game will start promptly at 10 o'clock.
