yANDY PLAYERS WILL
WITNESS GAME OF THE
PAINTERS AND AGGIES

Coach Brown of Birmingham college
has not let up one minute with his
strenuous work this week, for he
worked his men earnestly between the
halves of the Scrub Central game Tues
day He also made them run signals
after the game Coach Brown is de-
termined to be prepared for the Albert
VILE Aggies, who defeated the Method
lists in their initial campus game last
season by the decisive score OF 10 to q
The Aggies will arrive early FRIDAY
morning and the game will be played
an Munger Field at o'clock.
The farmers are reported as having
another strong eleven this season, as
they have practically the same players
as of last season. statistics prove that
the Methodists will be out-weighed
about 10 pounds to the man, but Coach
Brown has developed several trick plays
where much speed is required to ex-
ecute them.
All the substitutes will be used in
this game, as Coach Brown is daily
developing more men to be used in the
Howard game, November 20.
AS an added feature Coach Brown,
who is a graduate of Vanderbilt, has
invited Coach McGugin and the entire
Vanderbilt team to be guests of the
game. They will appear in uniform and
practice signals Immediately after the
game.
Following this battle the stage will
be set and carefully prepared in prepar-
alton for the presentation of the next
bill 1.-THE Annual War" which will
play at lockwood Field Saturday, No
vember 25.

SUBJECT
COMES UP AGAIN
Lumber Dealers Find That New Ordi-
nance Is Too Restrictive in
Requirements

The old single ordinance is due to be
discussed again this morning at the city
hall.
After five months agitation on the
part of various citizens and lumber con-
Germs in behalf of the wooden shingle,
the commission passed an ordinance al
lowing the use of wooden shingles on
roofs month ago. The insurance peo-
pie bitterly fought the repeating of the
old ordinance, which required compost
ton roofs, and after due discussion,
several fiery meetings, and much COM
ment, the commission decided in favor of
the advocates of the wooden shingle and
repealed the old ordinance.
Everyone thought this would settle the
matter.
Now come the lumber people who claim
that the present ordinance requires a
specially manufactured shingle, and that

Jefferson to Entertain
Governors and PLAYERS

The impression that members of the
two elevens would attend any other
theatrical performance in Birmingham
is wholly in error, as the invitation of
the Jefferson has been definitely &C
cepted. Miss May Irwin, who is the star
in "33 Washington Square" has writ
ten ahead that she is planning to put
in some special numbers for the foot
ball men and will sing number of
Vanderbilt and Auburn songs.
With members of both elevens at
tending the Jefferson exclusively and
the governors of both Alabama and
Tennessee present it is an assured fact
that as many of the students as can
pack into the Jefferson will be present
to cheer their idols and incidently en-
joy the diversion offered by Miss Irwin.
Football players, in common with
actors. only family resemble in human
clothes their appearance in the arena
and those who wish to glimpse the
warriors in everyday guise will be able
to do it only at the Jefferson.

AUBURN'S VICTORY

By Sam Harrisf
Vandy is heavy, and her strength j
great,
But when they face Auburn
They're going to meet their fate.
They boast of great swiftness;
Ills true they're rough,
But why should we worry
When Auburn's so tough?
The Auburn boys will greet them
With a whoop and Murray,
And when the game has started
With Vandy they'll run away.
So. on next Saturday
When they meet face to face
Old Vandy is a goner,
Auburn's going to win the race.

Tech authorities are directing their
athletics, and thus it is thought that
relations will be severed. Georgia, it
is thought, will not be the only team
to drop the Yellow Jackets from their
schedule for 1917.
The battle Saturday will be the
twentieth game between the two old
rivals. So close has been the contest
ing that there is a margin of but one
game
Georgia has been victorious in nine
games, Tech in eight and two games
have been scoreless ties. In 1895, 1897,
1901 and 1908 the teams did not play.
In the 10 previous contests Georgia
has scored 1856 points and Tech 1863.
In eight of Georgia's victories over
Tech she held the Jackets scoreless,
while Tech blanked Georgia in four
of her eight contests.

Hovater suffered a slightly fractured

Sewanee-Tennessee have met nine
