COACH LONGWELL IS
 PREPARING ELEVEN FOR VANDY BATTLE
Baptists Confident of Civ ing Commodores Hard. Battle-Team in Good
 Condition

Out at Howard college, Coach J. B. Longwell is working his men over time in preparation for the battle in bilt Commodores. The Baptists, spurred onward by their victory over the strong team of Marion institute, are confident of giving the Commo- dores battle they will long remem- ber
 And then the followers of the Bap- lists are elated over tAe stories or They are tickled to death with the idea of Howard college securing victory over a mighty Vandy eleven Coach Longwell and his men are work ing with this idea in view and they will be sadly disappointed unless they give the Commodores a battle equal
 to the one furnished the Sewanee Tigers.
 Coach Longwell's team is one of the
 best to represent Howard college in years. The team has an abundance or
 fighting qualities and besides has good amount of ability True. num-
 Der of new men are on the squad, but followers of the Baptists believe this
 will prove to be one of the best years
 in the history of the college football machine
 The lineup which battled a victory from the Marion Cadets last Saturday
 will probably face the Commodores. Walker, youngster from Birmingham college, will run the team at quarter, He is fast, a we'll broken field runner and fair line plunger. Mcdonald and Dorskey at halves are both good men, Gibson is the only veterans in the
 bacxfield. Last year he played guard He is captain.
 Duke and Kinney hold down the wings. Duke is a veteran and line defensive player. Kinney is new conner, who was tried at quarter, but later shifted to end when Walker showed better form. Bunk Strickland, another veteran, holds down the cen ter position. Haynes and Carr, the for mer a veteran, are the tackles, while Price, last seasons fullback, and Pitt tard, a newcomer, are playing the guards.
 The team is about equally divided among new men and veterans. The average weight of the eleven will near the ITO pound mark, which is exceed ingly heavy for the calibre of teams
 Howard generally produces. The back field is composed of fast and shifty men. while both ends are especially good on receiving forward passes. The accomplishment of the team in holding Sewanee to a 6-to-6 tie was considered a victory. Auburn swamped the same Howard team the following Saturday. 53 to O. What Vandy. the third big team to he opposed will do to the Baptists remains to be seen. | Coach Longwell and 20 men will leave here Friday morning for Nash ville and return either Sunday night or Monday morning.

On November 3, the Crimson of Alabama and the Purple of Sewanee will meet in their nineteenth annual battle.
 Indications point to one of the most fiercely contested battles ever witnessed locally when the two teams meet Ala bama has one of the best teams in the history of the school and Sewanee is cer- tainly not weak, especially with a pair Of men in the back field who are slated for an all-southern berth.
 At the present, Alabama is the favor ite over the Tennessee eleven. Football critics who have witnessed both teams in action agree that Alabama has the edge now but the question is whether

To Exhibit British Tank

New York, October 2s.-A British tank, similar to the giant war ma chimes of this character in active serv- ice in France, reached this port to- day on steamship from Europe and will be set up here as companion exhibit to the German submarine, which recently arrived, to stimulate liberty bond purchasing.
 The tank was leashed on the for ward deck of the steamship being too large to be placed in a hold. A British army officer and eight men were in charge of 1t during the voy- age.

 'Sewanee has a powerful team, salo Streit, land many football fans who expect to see Alabama walk away With the honors will be sadly disappointed I do not believe Sewanee will beat Ala bama but I do expect to see one Of the toughest battles in recent years
 "Sewanee has two great men in the back field In Wortham and Crudgington. Wortham is one of the best broken field runners in the south, and he will un- doubtedly give the Crimson some trouble.

THREE LOCAL PRODUCTS

Three Birmingham boys are in the varsity squad this year. They are Capt. Carey Robinson. Burt Stiles and Jimmy Nall.
 Captain Robinson has been moved from his old position of center to quar- ter so that he can direct the play of the team Stiles has been played at tackle and end and played end through the entire Clemson game and it is most likely that he will be seen at end in the game with Mississippi next Sat urday. Jimmy Nall, who is hardly bigger than bar of soap after hard day s washing, is Captain Robnson's under study and runs the team with a lot of ginger and pep. He is a shifty runner and in running back kicks is a hard man to handle in a broken field
 Although exams were on today the cn tire squad was out for practice with the exception of Capt. Carey Robinson and Red" Sizemore. Robinson received a painful injury in the Clemson game last Friday which will likely keep him out of uniform for a few days Size more, the gigantic tackle. who has showed such force and has been tower of strength, is still under the weather from an injury received in a scrimmige with the scrubs several days ago.
 
 Coach Donahue is finding it rather difficult task to replace these two men with good substitutes. However, he las in Jimmie Nall man who is hard worker and has a good head for running team Jimmie has had three years of the most valuable experience with t'le scrubs and is now proving one of the most versatile substitutes on the squad.
 Thomas and Sanford are being used alternately to fill the vacancy left bv Sizemore. It is hard matter to i'll the shoes of this big man, but in these two men are the makings of cracking good linesmen
 Auburn supporters are looking with good deal of favor on the work of big Warren, who put up the game of ais life against Clemson. He weighs about 240. but handles himself like a man of 160 pounds.
 LIGHTS IN USE
 The remainder of this week will be used in getting the squad into shape for the Mississippi Aggies next Satur- dal Tomorrow scrmmage will De held which will be the first of long run of them this week. The big arc lights on Drake Field will be used until long after supper time, as Coach Mike Donahue realizes that in order for iils team to be in the race for the champion ship he must defeat the boys from Starkville.
 great deal of pep is beginning to be seen in the student body and it would not be at all surprising to see a couple of hundred of them at the game next Saturday to cheer the boys on to vic tory.
