Florida Game LiHle More
 Than Practice For Auburn
Coach Donahues Men Show Marked Improvement Ofense Defense Was Put Through Gruelling Test Especially
 in Breaking Forward Passes taf.

good defense Nearly every evening the scrubs are sent against the var sity in order that the Donahue ag gregation may become acquainted with all possible enemy formations. Flor ida tried as many as 12 or 15 for ward passes Saturday and not a one of them were completed. This alone shows that the Plainsmen are coming fast in breaking up the aerial attack. When Captain Cary Robinson gets back into the game the Tigers will have two extra good ends to break up the oppositions end runs. Ducote plays defensive end and together with Gibson a man will have to be pretty fast to get by them.
 Captain Robinson came back from the Davidson Furman game with lot of dope on Davidson. All he can say is praise for this plucky bunch of vidsor did not have to open up against Furman so he could not gain an ac- curate knowledge of their plays. At any rate, Auburn knows she will have to go up against a bunch that never knows how to stop. Well. that fits the Auburn machine, too, so the result will be battle we'll worth any football fan going to see. Davidson has made irroads against Tech and that is say ing great deal. Auburn hopes not to let the Preachers do as much to her.

Auburn. November 6.-(Special) While the Florida game was hardly more than a practice tilt for the Au- burn Tigers this year, it showed that the green team that Coach Mike Don- ahue had to deal with at the begin- ming of the year are coming. True, team work might have been better and plays and formations might have been speeded up little, but on the whole the team showed vast amount of improvement
 On the offense Auburn showed strik- ing evidences of the good old Auburn drive that has so characterized former Donahue machines and which gave to Mike Donahue his name in the years of 1913 and 1914. In Revington and Hall, Auburn has two good full- backs Revington is known for his work, as it was clearly demonstrated that he had the bucking qualities in the Vanderbilt game of last year, and while he did not last in the Tech game, yet he is there with the goods this year
 "Bobbie' Hall Sidney Lanier high school man from Montgomery, is fast following in the steps of "Horkie" Revington. He is a good side stopper and a good man on the defense. When- ever the line opens the least sort of a hole this nimble youth will be seen hitting the line low and hard, and seldom fails to gain. The halfbacks are well known to all.
 Little more can be said in praise of Bill Donahue, Greet and Ducote. In the absence of Captain Robinson, Du- cote has been showing good general ship and his toe has constantly been in the limelight, his punts in the Florida game averaging around the 45-yard mark
 The Tigers are fast developing

Crimson Machine Suffered
 Little From Bitter Battle
Followers of Alabama Not Discouraged Seanee Illt-Expecting Easy Victory Over Vandy-Ses-
 sons Awarded Trophy

University, November G. - Special The Alabama football Jeam returned tc the university Sunday, none the worse Tor the strenuous game with Sewanee Saturday. None of the men were injured enough to keep them out of practice Cor any time, but all had sprains and bruises as reminders or the fierceness of the battle. Secret practice was resumed Monday and preparations for the game next Saturday in Birmingham with Val derbilt are being rushed. IL will be the last appearance of the Crimson in Bir- mngham this year and the team is anx- ious to have one clean victory to it's credit there.
 The team was given a banquet at the Tutwiler Saturday night by the Athletic association, and a silver loving cup that was offered to the man who did the best playing for Alabama in the Sewanee same was awarded. The officials of tho game made the decision. and they unan- imously decided that the cup should g6 to Tram Sessions the Birmingham boy who is starring at center this year for the Crimson. The officials declared that the entire Alabama team played a clean, SpOrtSmanlike game and that all of them played excellently, but that Ses- sions had a slight edge over all lis teammates. This is Sessions first year on the Alabama squad. and in another Wear or two, under efficient coaching he is expected to develop into one of the very best eenters in the whole country.
 The declaring of LindbIade ineligible at the last moment was severe blow 10 the Alabama followers. Lindblade played on the Yale freshmen team last year, and. was ruled ineligible for the Ala bama team this year. Although Sid | Johnson got in the game for few min utes, he was not in the best physical condition, because of his recent illness, and was not able to do the star work that he will be able to do the rest of the season.
 Missing the touchdown by one inch was | hard luck, and altogether 1t was a hard | game for Alabama not to win, but no

LARGE ENTRY LIST EXPECTED FOR RACE
 FOR '. M. GA. TITLE
First Annual Road Event Will Be Held November 24-BasketbaIl Prac-
 tice Tonight

The track athletes of the Y. M. c. X. arc getting down to strenuous train ing for the first annual championship road race, which will be staged on Saturday afternoon, November 24 Coach Mitchell has outlined course and the start will be at the corner of the First Methodist church at Nineteenth street, going west to Six teenth, thence north to Eighth ave- nue. east on Eighth avenue to Twenty sixth street, south on Twenty sixth avenue to the finish at Twentieth street. There will be a number of men who will run their first long distance race in this event.
 The members of the association are showing a great deal of interest in the event and started their training Monday. A large number of "Y'' mem bers who are employed at the Amer ican Cast Iron Pipe company will en- ter the race and are expected to be well uptoward the front. Practice is being held at the Y. NJ. c. A. every afternoon at o'clock, and all entries are expected to report at that time. The officials of the race will be se- lected in the next few days and ev- erything will be run off on schedule time on the day of the race.
 The second series of the Y. M. C. A. basketball league will be played next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. The squads are beginning to show up team work and a close fight between the teams is anticipated. Captain Henley of the Submarines has strong squad behind him and is counting leading the league. Captain Hoskins of the Aviators made a bad start but pron- ises to show a better brand of ball in his next appearance. Captain Chisholm and his tornadoes are after the scalps of the Submarines and from present indications the Submarines will be forced to submerge. Captain Newman of the Navy will have a strong team with a little more experience on the big floor. There will he no charge and the public is invited to attend these games.

Gold and Black machine died game at the hands of such a combination.
 All indications point to four days of good football weather this week and these will be taken full advantage of by the coaches who will put in the time cor recting the faults shown in Saturdays game and in drilling the players to meet the attack on Alabama. The same line up will probably be used as was used in the Tech game as it seems about the best arrangements that can be made by Coach McCiugin. Richardson's work wrs source of much qualification and he will probably remain in halfback posi- ton for the remainder of t17e season. Lassater also did good work Saturday and seems to have an end job cinched.
 The result of the Sewanee- Alabama game was very pleasing to Vanderbilt supporters here who had figured that the purple machine would have no trouble in silencing the attack of the Alabama machine. This gives more promise that the Conmodores will be able to wrest the decision from the Tigers here Thanks giving. Little is known here as to the strength of the Alabama eleven, but ac- cording to the dope Vanderbilt is slated to come out victorious.
 The Commodores never figured on de- feating Tech. They trained to hold them as well as possible They will turn loose some rare offensive playing on Alabama Saturday, is the prediction here.

 November 15

Cambridge, Mass, November 6.-The Harvard informal football team today cancelled the game scheduled with the Newport Naval Reserves for No vember 15, so that the eleven of the first naval district of Boston and the Newport team can play here on that date.

 The game between the two teams will virtually decide the football cham pionship of the service elevens of the northeastern department.

HITS THE NEWSPAPERS
(The Milwaukee SentineD


The constitution of the United
States expressly provides that Con-
gross shall make no law abridging the
freedom of the press.
That inhibition to the contrary not
withstanding, bill has been recon-
mended for enactment by the present
congress designed to abridge the free
dom of the newspaper in the matter
Of selling their advertising space.
The bill in substance forbids the
use Of the government mails to all
newspapers containing advertisements
of the products of brewers, distillers
or winters. For using the mails in
violation of the proposed act, the re-
sponsible conductor of the newspaper
is made liable to fine or i'm Imprisonment
or both.
Whatever the intention of the bill,
it is the business OF the newspapers
that is directly hit, not that Of the
brewers.
Practically a newspaper is forbid
den to soil IT'S commodity, namely,
advertising space, to the brewer. It's
freedom 10 40 business and make it's
living is to that extent abridged. In
so far as the principle and intention
is concerned, the bill might as well
strike at the business Of the farmer
by forbidding him to sell hops or bar

eV to brewers.

ley to brewers.
1t must be understood that the in
hibition Of the bill is not limited to-
newspapers published in dry territory
but covers territory where the brew
ing of beer is recognized as lawful
branch of manufacture.
Aside from it's business aspect, the
political motive Of the bill is clear.
1t plainly regards the advertise
ments in question as expressions ad-
verse to the prohibition side of the
nationwide discussion of the question
which has now got prominently into
the field of politics as a political is
sue. -..-
1t aims to stifle at least that contri-
button to the discussion.
From that it is only a few steps\to
suppressing all expressions in news-
pa pers unfavorable to prohibition by
| forbidding the use of the mails to
newspapers unfavorable to prohibit
ton by forbidding the use OF the
mails to newspapers containing az
ticles on that side Of a question which
certainly is an open an debatabIe one,

a foothold in the United States. we
shall be in fair wav toward Rus

Their bill does not hit the brewers,

matter of competition among them
selves and an element of production

1t does not mean preventing the
brewer from selling his product, but
it does mean preventing the news
