The Auburn-Georgia clash on neutral
grounds at Columbus, Ca, and the Sc
wanee-Alabama battle at Birmingham are
the major contests and are expected to
result in narrowing the list of undefeated
teams in the south. Georgia Tech meets
Tulane at Atlanta, Vanderbilt plays Rose
Polytechnic at Nashville. and Tennessee
tackles Chattanooga at Chattanooga.
Two southern aggregations journey out
side their own territory for competition
tomorrow. Virginia goes to Cambridge

Football games supposed to be OF
} vital Importance have been played III
Birmingham for the past years. The
games have been thrillers, together
with fine exhibitions as to how the
popular sport should be played, but
the struggle today is expected, and
probably will. surpass any game staged
in Birmingham this season.
Enthusiasm in the game is wonderful.
Not since 1912, when Auburn played a
brilliant game and held the mighty VAN
derbilt eleven to a 7-to-7 tie, has its equal
been witnessed. Everywhere the prob
able outcome of the game is being dis
cussed. The great rivalry between the
two institutions on the gridion which
reaches back IS years has involved the
entire south in the game as well as the
close followers of both elevens.
RIVALRY INTENSE
No two institutions can boast of the
rivalry equal to that which exists be-
tween the Crimson and the Purple For
years and years, football teams have
been produced at the two institutions
with the sole purpose of being prepared
and able to meet the ancient foe, Ala
bama or Sewanee, as the case should be.
No two teams so evenly matched have
been scheduled to battle on the gridiron
in recent years, Critics have investi.
gated, but there's nothing to it but two
teams evenly matched.
Coaches have drilled the eleNens for
weeks and weeks for the game, and now
they report in the best of condition for
the big struggle. Not a single injured
man in the member of the varsity squad
from Alabama, while Sewanee boasts of
the same record. Greatest pains have
been taken to prevent the players from
being injured and during the past week
but very light practice has been held at
either camp. Running signals and polish
ing the machine has been the chief oc-
cupation of both Coaches Kelley and
Cope and when the two teams walk out
on the field today both elevens will be
in the best shape possible.
TEAMS ARRIVE LATE
The Tigers reach Birmingham at $3.50
this morning and will remain in their
Pullman until breakfast time, when they
will go to the Tutwiler hotel The squad
will be composed of % players, Coach
Cope and Manager Harding Woodall.
The Alabama team will reach Birming-
ham at 1890 o'clock this morning. The
800 Crimson students will come on the
same train. Nappis band will meet the
train and an enormous parade will fol-
low over the downtown streets of the
city in which the entire delegation will
participate.

two colleges have had athletic relations

Athens. November 3.-(Special.)- 1.-The
Athens Aggies defeated the Hamilton Az
gies here this afternoon in one of the
closest and hardest fought games ever
witnessed on the local field. The final
score was to 0, a touchdown being
scored in the last few minutes of play.
The local eleven played fine ball, espe-
cially on the defense. Three times the
Hamilton boys advanced within 10 yards
of the goal line but each occasions the
locals held. A forward pass, Griggsby
to Thomas. netted 40 yards and four sue
cessive line plunges put the ball over

! some critics believe it may be decided
by a margin as close as a single field
goal. Donnely, who scored via the aerial
route in the Navy game last week, will
be in the Georgia lineup, and it was
believed that the Crackers would call
upon him to try as often as possible
to avenge the Il to trouncing they re-
ceived at the hands of Auburn last year.
BOTH TEAMS STRONG
Both Georgia and Auburn appeared
strong in their early contests, but last
week did not come up to expectations.
Auburns weak showing against Mssis-
sppi A. and NJ, however, was taken by
the majority of critics as merely a slump
from which the Plainsmen will emerge
by tomorrow, while Georgias defeat at
the hands of the Navy was secuted as a
real indication of the Crackers strength.
IL has been said that the Georgia coaches
were more anxious to keep their players
in shape for the big struggle for the
southern championship than to beat any
team outside this section.
Several of Georgias first strong men
who had been on the injured list and
who were reported about recovered, did
not play against the Navy. Mcconnell
ana j. Reynolds, VINO nave Deen out OF
the game recently. were included in the
tentative lineup given out at Athens to-
day. Center Germany, who has been out
with an injured knee, was not included.
Reports from Auburn have been that all
of the Plainsmen's players are in good
condition.
Sewanee and Alabama are expected to
furnish another close contest with the
Alabama Crimson a slight favorite. Sc
vance has shown an excellent defense,
but the Tennessee Tigers offense has
appeared to be lacking. They looked good
early in the season. but two weeks ago
were unable to score on Kentucky State,
which Vanderbilt beat by heavy score,
and were held to q scoreless tie. Last
week they beat Louisiana State by
single touchdown, scored on fluke play.
Alabama, on the other hand. has been
improving consistently as the weeks
rolled by and have defeated Mississippi
college, Florida and Mississippi. Reports
from Tuscaloosa yesterday said Coach
Kelley would take &c men to Birmingham
for this battle.

BIG FEATURES

In connection with the Kleine-Edl-

and are being run. the Edison stars
have been lately appearing with much
success at .theaters in New York City
and vicinity. They are introduced
from the stage and the manager in
question makes much Of the box office
attractions of the event by getting out
special posters announcing the per-
sonal appearance Of the players. Marc
MacDermott appeared at the Majestic
theater, New York, in conjunction with
the showing Of the Kleinc-Edison
1.-THE Destroying Angel" in which he
and Mabel Trunnelle are featured. He
was greeted so vociferously that Man
ager F1eishcmen had to ask for an
opportunity for Mr.. MacDermott to
speak. The patrons seemed to think
that Mr.. MacDermott was in good
voice despite the fact he had been at
work at o'clock that morning and at
It all day-the early rising being nee
essary to get an actual prison scene
in New York, before the prisons life
began, for the Kleine-Edison feature,

lam Nesbitt are featured.

nection with the Kleine-Edison fea-

AIDES Of theatergoers as Sis Hopkins
has been lured to the motion picture

the best known comedy character ere

signed a long term contract with the
Kalem company which practically in
sures her being screen fixture for
many months to come. She will be
presented to photoplay audiences in
both multiple reel and short pictures,
which will be written especially for

famous character OF Sis"
National Character.
isis Hopkins" became national
character overnight, when Miss Mel
Vile introduced her creation to New
York audiences in the extravaganza
"By the Sad Sea Waves" in 1894.
Since that time the actress has never
been allowed to be other than Sis
Hopkins, and for few years 1t was
the custom to write n isis Hopkins"
role into the pieces in which she mp
peared no matter what the original
story was. Then in 1898 the play.
isis Hopkins" was produced, and it
is the only vehicle In which the COM
edienne has been seen since that day.
AT the time OF the production Of
the play the isis Hopkins" fad swept
the country, and the pig tailed, ging-
ham aproned girl Of the farm reached
asfame to be compared only with the
present day Chaplin craze. Sis Hop
kins dolls, Sis Hopkins aprons, Sis
Hopkins hair ribbons, in fact a half
dozen different articles named after
the lovable rural character were
placed on the market.
Distinctive Style.
Her acquisition to the screen should
give rhotoplay fans a new type Of
comedy, since the Sis Hopkins work
was always Of distinctive style that
has never been successfully initiated.
OF particular interest as. indicating a
trend in the film field is the statement
that this star will be presented in a
series Of one reel pictures in addi-
ton to the multiple reel length.
