GRIDIRON ECHOES
BY FRED BODEkER

others GLAZING are not equally as
good if not better
Tech has remaining only Auburn.
Tennessee has but Kentucky State.
Tennessee's chances for an unbroken
record for the season are considerably
better than Techs for in the Dona-
hues She meets a formidable foe, one
capable of rising to great heights
when the occasion demands.
Atlantans will contend that the
Jackets can trim Tennessee should
they meet. Knoxvilians will take the
other side of the argument, and that's
about as far as any one will get with
the argument unless
Tech and Tennessee should meet on
the gridiron.
They both have an open date next
Saturday, so why not arrange the
game? 1t would be a wonder from the
financial standpoint as well as from
the football angle and would decide
to the satisfaction of every one, which
has the better team.
We know not the feeling in the mat
ter. Tech stated sometime ago when
a game with Vanderbilt was preached
that she would be willing to play the
Commodores on November %, an open
date for both
If Tech is of the same opinion now,
how does Tennessee feel in the prem
ises? A game ought to be arranged
and it is possible that it can be. We
hope that it will be possible.
Atlanta would be the logical place
for such a contest, but if Tennessee is
fn n1a hnip
home town, maybe the Jacket authori-
ties would be willing to stage it in
neutral city such as Birmingham.
The time is short. If there is going
to be any action, let's have it quickly.
Tech has certainly played the harder
schedule than Tennessee. Vanderbilt
and Sewanee are the only first-class
elevens that the Volunteers have lick
ed. Clemson, South Carolina, Florida
and Chattanooga hardly come in this
category.
Look at Techs schedule Mercer and
Cumberland were snaps. Then look at
the Tech list, Davidson, North Caro-
lima, Washington and Lee, Tulane,
Alabama and Georgia. Not weak sis
ter in the list.
Yet against such a string of elevens
Tech scored a greater number of
points than Tennessee and had less
points scored against her
But all this kind of argument will
not convince those inclined toward
Tennessee that Tech is any better.
Only an actual engagement would do
that.
Let's have it.
We await word from the two
schools.
There's one thing about Auburn
we must commend and that's the eX-
cellent spirit of the student body. Fol
lowing the defeat of the Plainsmen in
the afternoon, the student body cele-
brated that night as though victory
in place of defeat had rested on their
brow On returning to Auburn, they
framed up to meet the team at the
station. All that speaks well for the
school. A little encouragement like
this to team is enough to instill
a plenty of fight.
No bloody deeds have been reported
as yet happening, although the time
for the Birmingham game is
but a few days Off However, follow
ing the game is when the rough
stuff will most probably be pulled off.
We are only an innocent bystander!

I Marion County High school on her
| record lays claim to state high school
| championship in football and since she
looks to the championship she is in
terested in playing only those teams
that have some claim to championship
honors. Hamilton has failed to score
this season. Should Marion accept chal-
lenge, play and win by any number
OF points our team would be no near
er championship honors than it is to-
day. Consequently, prudence bids me
decline acceptance of the challenge.
Record of the two teams follows:
University second team and Grass
cutters 40, Hamilton 0, Athens Agri-
cultural school Z, Hamilton 0, Howard

other high school teams in the state
with better record than Marion
High I do not know the fact. We play
strictly by the Alabama Interscholastic

RIVAL SQUADS HAVE
HARD WORKOUTSFOR
STRUGGLE IN BOWL
Eli Strengthened by Return
of Quarterback Smith.
Over $4,000 to See
the Game

Cambridge, Mass, November IA
long. hard workout was given the Har-
ward football squad today in preparation
for Saturdays game with Yale. It cuI-
minated in 10 minutes of scrimmage be-
tween the varsity and the second elevens.
Although the varsity held the ball for the
greater part of the time. it was unable
to score. The second team, using Yale
plays, likewise was unable to penetrate
to the goal line.
Gamer, as in yesterdays practice, was
at tackle in place of Sweetser, and
showed up so well that it is thought he
will start
Tomorrow night the students will hold
a mass meeting to cheer the team.
The Harvard football management an
nounced that the Crimson squad which
will go to New Haven for the game with
Yale will leave on Thursday morning.
Immediately after their arrival the play
ers will go to the Yale bowl, where they
will spend the rest of the afternoon in
acquiring themselves with the local con-
ditions.
Late in the day they will go to a hotel
at New London, which will be their
headquarters until the game. They will
practice on the baseball diamond there.
If the weather is favorable the team
may be taken to New Haven on Friday
afternoon for another visit to the bowl.
The last home practice today and to-
morrow probably will demand the final
makeup of the eleven which will be
started against Yale. Several positions
are uncertain.
New Haven, Conn, November 81
Practice of the Yale eleven today in
preparation for Saturdays Harvard con-
test was light. Captain Black was con-
fined to the infirmary with sore throat
and a slight fever. 1t was stated that
he probably would be in tomorrow's drill.

Thorough preparations have been made
for handling the immense crowd of $4,000
that will witness the classic. The extra
seats at the bowl are ready. Thirty-tiye
thousand spectators will come here on
30 special trains. The bulk of the re-
mainder will make the trip in automo-
biles. Ten thousand machines, it is ex-
pected, will be parked near the amphi-

Peter Rabbit Is Most Uncomfortable.
,copyrigh. W.
ev THoRNroN w. BURGESS.

If ever any one was sorry Tor
having PLAYED pranks on other folks
that one was Peter Rabbit. ] am
afraid il wasn't quite the right kind
OF sorrow. You see, he wasn't sorry
because OF what had happened To
Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox. but
because OF what had happened 10
himself. There he was, down IN
the bedroom OF Johnny Chucss Ola
house. smarting and aching all over
from the sharp little lances OF the
Yellow Jackets, who had driven him
down there before he had had
chance 10 see what happened 10
Reddy Fox That was bad enough
but what troubled Peter more WAS
the thought that he couldn't get out
without once again facing those
hot.tempered Yellow-tackets. You
see. their home was right up in the
hall OF Johnny Chuck's old house.
Peter wished with all his might
that he had known about II before
ever he thought OF hiding there.
But wishes OF that kind are about
the most useless things in the world
They wouldn't help him now he
had so many aches and smarts that
he didn't see how he could stand
single one more. and yet he couIdn
see how he was going 20 get out
without receiving several more. All
at once he had comforting
thought. He remembered that
Johnny Chuck usually has back
door. II that were the case here
he would be all right He would
End out. Cautiously he poked his
head ont of the snug bedroom
There was the long hall down which
he had come.
And there-yes, sir, there was an
other hall. II must be the back
hall. Very carefully Peter crept up
Il.
Funny" thought he, that don t
see any light ahead OF me.
And then he bumped his nose.
Yes. sir. Peter bumped his nose
against the end OF that hall. You
see. il was an old house, and. like
most old houses. IT was rather a
tumble-down affair. Anyway, the
back door had been blocked With a
great stone and the walls OF the
back hall had fallen in. There was
no way out there. Sadly Peter
backed out to the little bedroom. He
would wait until night and perhaps
then the Yellow-jackets would be
asleep and he could steal out the
front way without getting any more
stings. Meanwhile he would try 10
get nap and forget his aches and
pains.
Hardly had Peter curled up for
that nap when he heard a voice. II
