CRIMSON EXPECTS
HARD BATTLE FROM
MISSISSIPPI TEAM

University, October Especial lin the
Mississippi college eleven which journeys
to Tuscaloosa for battle next Saturday.
Coach Kelley's Crimson machine will
probably find it's first really powerful OPP
ponent of the season. The two games
thus far have served but little to fore
cast the probable strength of the Ala
bama crew. The real test comes Satur
day, and by the outcome of that ARRAY
the south will be able to get line on
what may be expected of the Crimson
in the big struggles which are to follow.
The Mississippi eleven is a stronger
machine than was anticipated when the
Alabama management placed 1t SO early
on schedule Last fall the Crimson won
a 40 to 0 victory over the same bunch,
and was not expecting anything IN the
nature of real opposition this season.
But the Mississipians have upset the
dope. BY their 80 to victory over the
Marion institute, and followed by 10 to
win over A. and M, they have thrown a
monlzey-w into the Crimson manipu-
lations. For the first time this season
Coach Kelley Is forced to prepare his
! machine against a defeat.
Saturday will find the Crimson in better
shape, unless further injuries occur, than
they have been at any prior time this
season. Ike Rogers, it is true. Is still
unable to get into harness and will be
missed from the lineup, but Hook Bur-
nette, Gage and Goree johnson should be
in shape to give good account OF them
selves Walter Hovater Is another Grip
pie who is again in uniform and is ex-
pected to be in the lineup that faces
the Mississippians.
And in addition to having his men In
better condition Coach Kelley gradually
is rounding his team into more finished
fighting machine. The ragged edges are
Slipping off, there is more team work,
more drive, and more power in the
elevens which are at daily work on the
Crimson campus. Many of the glazing
defects which appeared in the Owenton
and Southern games have been remedied.
Kelley is working hard and faithfully
with his green material. He has still
lot of work to do, but the result OF
his work is beginning to show. And If
Mississippi college defeats the Crimson
a better machine will have met defeat
| than that which faced Owenton and
Southern university.
The most noted change that Coach KEEL
ley has made this week has been the
shifting of Jake Taylor. erstwhile the
heaviest backfield man on the squad, to
guard. Whether this change is to be
permanent Kelley refuses to state but
Jake is thoroughly qualified to fill his
new position. He has the weight and
speed necessary. he has the initiative, and
more than all he has what Kelley wants
most on each side of Maynor just now
"a thorough knowledge of the old game
and experience in playing it.
While Taylor, to all appearances, had
cinched backfield berth. there are plenty
others to take his place. Kelley at pres
ent has the two Hovater brothers. Gage,
johnson, Burnette Pope. Carlyle Conner,
Cream and Hagan to award places to.

Alabama horses had another big day at
the State Fair yesterday, taking the first
honors in both events before the largest
crowd to witness the races to date. Both
races were very closely contested, and
the Alabama horses won out only after
showing unexpected speed on the home
stretch.
Peter Greenwade, owned and driven by
c. d. Carter of Birmingham, won the 2:15
pace in three straight heats, nosing out
Toney B. by only very narrow margin.
The Whip and Oxomis fought it out for
third and fourth places in each heat
Peter Greenwade's best time was made
in the second heat, the local horse ne
got;ating the mile in 2;10A.
The ESQ trot was also very close, going
into four heats. Duty Bound won the
first two heats, but lost the third, the
most exciting of the day. l.. t. F. won
second place in the first and second heats
and was forced to third place in the final
heat.
Verbet, who draws third money, inn
proved with each heat, giving Duty
Bound a hard run in the final heat.

A. Not much. All they could do was
TO recommend. The rules remain as be-
fore. Perhaps during. the year new leg

tangles. Some OF the suggestions were
good enough, but absolutely nothing

Among other things the conference

Q. Why isn't an amateur who capt.

edge of athletics by writing for news
papers and magazines as much a pro-
fessional as the man who competes for

A. This is an example Of loose think

A. There should be an intercollegiate
