GENERALS CRIPPLED

and causing the coaches great deal OF
concern. The climax to the Generals
troubles came Wednesday afternoon, when
Captain "Cy' Young, whose punts av-

POST-SEAS0N GAME
AGITATION STARTS
ABOUT VANDY-TECH.
Commodores Expecting ;
Hard Game Next Sat-
urday--Easy Game
Today
By "Iiop''

Nashville, November 3.--(Special.) 1.-THE
unusual agitation has started again for d
post-season game with Georgia Tech, on
the assumption that the teams from that
institution and from Vanderbilt will COM
plete their schedules without defeat.
1t is probably an empty agitation again.
There is not much likelihood that the au-
thorities will sanction it, for one thing.
And another important consideration is
that each of these teams faces already
a row of games that gives It enough
to think about for the present without
reaching into the future to borrow trouE
BILE
Tennessee meets Vanderbilt at Knox
is what the local coaches are worrying
about now. Tennessee's decisive defeat
of Florida last Saturday shows that team
to be eacfing the form that reports ema-
mating from Knoxville had consistently
predicted for it. Add to that the fact
that the Vanderbilt game is the big game
for Tennessee this year, from all ac-
counts, and offers the Volunteers a
chance to get even for the terrific sur
prise handed them last year, when Van
derbilt won by a score bigger than any
ono had reason to expect and it is ap-
parent that local sportsmen are looking
for trouble ahead.
McGugin is driving his men along mt a
hard clip now, whatever may be in the
back of his mind. Secret practices and
hard scrimmages and new formations fill
up long daily grind ON Dudley field.
His punters are working overtime to be
able to meet the Tennessee crack,
Hatcher, on equal terms. In spite of the
strength shown in nearly all departments
of the game against Virginia, there were
plenty of flaws that have to be eradi-
Gated. The team is weakest in the open
game. Out of many efforts last Satur-9
day, only one forward pass was worked
by the Commodores. The strong line
bucking game that developed against Vir-.
GINA can hardly be expected to work SO
well against the line that Tennessee has
got together.
One thing favors the locals, that for the
first time this season it looks as il the
team will take the field in full strength
Nobody is laid UP with injuries now. and

mic, which is not being looked at withs

The Birmingham college football ma
chine continued its victorious stride yes
terday afternoon by defeating the jack
sonville Normal school by the score OF
81 to 0, the largest score which the Meth
odists have rolled up this year. The
game was strictly a one-sided affair, the
visitors showing practically no opposi-
ton.
The Birmingham eleven looked good
They ran their interference on the end
runs well, but did not appear as good
on line bucks. The forward pass was
used to advantage, two touchdowns be-
ing scored by this means.
Coach Brown used numerous sub sti-
tutes. In fact, every man on his squad
got chance to display his wares All
of the IT visitors also got into the game
but not until the latter part. The ma
jority Of the substitutes showed up as
well as the regulars.
Little interest was manifest in the
game. 1t was only a question of how
large the score would be. The visitors
made but one first down, that in the
first few minutes of play. but thereafter
their offense and defense was feeble
Two touchdowns were scored on the
forward pass, Neill and Norton each
making one Gillian made two touch
downs, one by 60-yaro end run, while
Caps made another by 30-yard run.
Warren ran 90 yards for a touchdown
but was called back. He scored one later,
however.
A safety was scored in the second Pc
Rod when, standing behind his own goal,
Terrell was tackled by Norton.
Livingston and Williams played the
best game for the Normal boys. while
no special player starred for Birming-
ham,

Farmers View of
School Amendment

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
Who are the promoters of this move
ment? Where do they live, in towns and
cities, or in the country? Who foots the
expense of speakers to tour the state
for the amendment? Have the children
of our farmers had an equal chance
with those of towns and cities under
our present laws?
If the amendment is adopted will the
children in the rural districts fare any
better in the future than they have in
the past? Every school district in the
state helps to support our towns, cities
and railroads. Will districts that have
no towns, cities or railroads receive
any benefit from district taxation of
80 cents on the 800 from towns, cities
and railroads? Under our compulsory
law we now have sufficient amount
of money to run our schools four
months in the year, which meets the
demand of the law. If four months of
the year satisfies the law in regard to
children in the rural districts why not
in towns and cities? Where do equal
rights come in? Will not this law inn
pose upon many tax without repre-
sentation?
The claim is made that the railroads
will pay largely the amount of such
tax. Will not the railroads add this tax
in their freight rates? Will not the
merchants add such freight to price of
their goods? viii not the consumer
have to pay both bills? The farmers,
the miners and mill workers have to
foot the bills.
The farmers especially are handi-
capped in various ways. He has to
contend with drouth, mildew. floods,
rust. boil weevi1, scarcity of labor,
gamblers, spectators and taxes of
various kinds IF a -
wealth received a reasonable profit on
the products of their labor there would
be no need of compulsory school laws.
There are very few farmers but what
would educate their children IL they
had fair show in life. The sign Of the
times point straight to Capitalization.
We have now limited monarchy.
What per cent of our graduates from
our towns and cities are going to the
farms? What per cent of our graduates
from the country that are going to our
towns and cities? The farmers are not
against education. not at all. but they
have been burden bearers all these
years and will ever be until the trend
|of modern education takes another
direction. If conditions were normal
and all the people were receiving an
equal benefit from extra taxation they
would be encouraged to take an adj
|vanced step. Our state is in debt
many counties in debt; many Of our
towns and cities are in debt; >thou-
sands of our people are in debt. and
yet the cry is more debt. Our people
are being relegate1 TO the rear that
GENERALIZATION may have full sway.
There is such a thing as being over

Raleigh, N. c., November 3.-Britt Pat
terson, former Washington and Jefferson
football star, who was given a place on
the all-American eleven of 1915. has re-
signed as head coach of the North Caro-
lima A. and NJ eleven after an agree
ment reached with the athletic committee
of the faculty, it became known today.
The committee. at special meeting yes
terday, investigated charges that friction
existed between Patterson and members
of the football squad.
With the exception of saying that his
resignation was best for all concerned IN
the case" Patterson today refused to
discuss the matter. Neither the athletic
committee nor the student body has ques-
toned Patterson's ability as a football
player but his method Of handling the
men, not understanding the southern
characteristics, 1t was asserted, which
tended to discourage them. Patterson
