OneYear Rule May Cause Battle to Be Rumor Says Alabama Has Signed FveY
 modores-Wil Play Saturday Before Thanksgiving

The situation, as it really is, was ex- plained in the Nashville Banner as fol- lows.
 Dame Rumor is busy with reports of game to be played next year be- tween Vanderbilt and the University of Alabama. The most interesting phase of these rumors, however, is that part which hath it that the Plainsmen and the Commodores will not face each other on the gridiron next year, and that the game with the Crimson and White eleven has been substituted for the annual af- fair with Auburn.
 For many days it has been heard upon the campus and amid the ranks of those versed in college athletics that Alabama and Vandy are trying to get together for a game. Those prominent in the direction of athletics at Vanderbilt and large number of the alumni have for a long time been desirous of an annual set-to with the Tuscaloosa boys, and this sentiment has grown tremendously in the season just closed. 1t must have found an echo in the thoughts of the Alabam- ians, if the whispers of the knowing be correct

Chattanooga, December 8.--(Special) ) Johnny Spiegel, coach of the Univer- sity of Chattanooga football team, to- day signed to coach the university eleven for two more seasons. It, is understood that the two-year contract was signed in order to remove all un- certainty in the mind of present and prospective members of the local team, the uncertainty being caused by the spirit of hostility to football shown by the faculty last summer

According to reports from Nashville, the last Auburn Vanderbilt game has been played, and that the University of Alabama will be the opponent of the Commodore in future battles. The re- port has been in circulation in Birming- ham for several weeks and with the same rumor coming from Nashville, some crediance is placed on the report.
 The present meeting of the s. I. A. A. holds the game in balance. If the one- year rule is enacted and Vanderbilt, to- Sether With several other southern col- leges, decides not to be a member of the assoica tion, then the Auburn-Vandy game is off indefinitely. Auburn is strong Tor the one-year rule and the authorities Will flight hard to have a rule in effect that will not permit student to par ucipate in athletics in his first year at college.
 No authorities of Alabama could ba reached last night to ascertain whether or not the game would be played, but it IS thought that the Crimson and Com- modores will be foes on the gridiron next season. Both Alabama and vandy have been anxious to oppose each other on the gridiron, but terms could never be agreed upon. With the Crimson team coming forward each year, the game would be one of prominence.

game with Auburn upon any year that tPey faced Alabama. This Vandy is also said to have turned down. The reading of the chapter, however, did not end there.
 True diplomats speak softly and demand much-at first. After the dust of the meeting had cleared away 1t was found. so says the dame, that Vanderbilt and Alabama were hitched up for a game next year upon the date that is ordinarily allotted to Auburn-the second Saturday before Thanksgiving. Further, 1t is averred, it was pretty well understood by the leading spirits of the gathering that the Auburn game would be placed in the discard during 1917.
 POSSIBILITY OF GAME
 "The possibility of game between Vanderbilt and the University of Ala bama is further strengthened by the action taken at the s. I. A. A. meeting of last year, in which it was decided that no Class A teams could play Class B teams after 1916. Class A teams were those that applied the one-year rule as to those on their football teams Auburn and Tennessee insisted on the application of this rule, while other teams in the association asserted their right to have men play on the football eleven in their first year in college.
 Unless some action Is taken at the coming meeting of the $. l. A. A. to change the stand taken last year it is probable that the rule separating the colleges into Classes A and B will hold good, and it is reasonable to suppose that Vanderbilt and Alabama may have taken some definite action in anticipa- tion of such 8 contingency

Germany will meet Sir Edward Grey's

AN INSECT MARVEL.
Curious and Complex Is the Tongue OF
the Butterfly.


Of all the marvels in which the
world of insect life is so rich none is
more curious and remarkable than the
tongue of the butterfly.
This is always of great length.
When not in use it is coiled like a
watch spring in a fat spiral close to
the head. But when the butterfly Wis
its the flower on which it feeds the
tongue is uncoiled, the tip inserted
deep in the heart of the flower and the
juices sucked up.
The butterfy's tongue really consists
of two tubes. Each of these has a
concave inner face, whose edges in
terlock one with the other so as to
form a third or central tube.
In butterflies we have the highest
development of the insect race. so far
as beauty is concerned. In other re-
spects. however, they do not hold so
high a place They are outranEed in
intelligence by ants, bees and Wasps
and in perfection OF. external parts and
mechanical excellence of the joints by
beetles.
The coIors and patterns on the wings
which make butterflies so beautiful are
due TO the arrangements of innnmera-
BILE scales that can be distinguished
only with Il powerful microscope. In
some cases these scales are themselves
colored. but often the effect Of color is
only optical, due to the reflection of
light from the delicate ridges on each
scale.-New York American.
