 This war has started some new thoughts and has given emphasis to some that may not have been new, but which have not been forced home. One of these is the value of physical efficiency. social scientist said some % years ago that the great est nation of the future would be the one which could send the most men to the top of the Matterhorn. Nations now realize that in such time an this all the men up to 70 may be re- quired for the firing line. and that means that all the men from 70 to 70 must be rendered especially efficient and physically fit in order to support the soldiers financially, with muni- tions, and with the general executive ability that these men represent.
 Germany's general staff, previous to fhis war; was working similar hours to those now practiced by our cabinet and national board of defense name ly, till midnight and over. But the German general staff was taken out into. the Tiergarten in the morning for from one to two hours of exercise as beginning of the day.
 It therefore sits itself down to this: If we had an ordnance officer who fired gun that was tested for but 200 rounds without heating. 500 times and thus cracked 1t. he would probably be discharged If the super intendent in a factory doubled tho number of hours he was running his automatic machinery and instead of doubling the oil actually cut 1t in half and thus ruined the machines. he would be regarded as a fool. Yet we are letting our men, high in exec ntive petitions, heads of departments in the government, and leaders of manufacturing. transportation and commercial interests, who are acting as advisers, do this very thing.
 Now, war or no war, the man of over military age would like to be fit, would like to feel that glow of youth which comes even to the man of 50 when he is physically in condition.
 It was the idea in the develop ment of the senior service corps to take men that are over military age and make them physically fit for whatever strain may come. It has resulted not only in making them

University, October ao.-(Special.)-The University of Alabama decisively de- feated Mississippi college this afternoon by the score of 46 to Q. During the first half the Alabama team had a big edge over their opponents, but In the second half things were much more even with a bevy of Crimson substitutes. The en- tire Alabama team played splendid football throughout the game
 The stars of the game for Alabama were Lenoir, Blair and OConnor The kicking of O'Connor was especially mo- ticeable, as he kicked d. field goal. B drop kick and four goals after touch down. Lenoir, at quarter, played an ex- cellent game running the team well and getting away for severa long runs. Blair played q great game at halfback, hit- ting the line at terrific pace. Captain Lowrey of Mississippi was the best for his team.
 Both teams attempted and completed several forward passes. Alabama con- pleted three passes out of five atternrts and Mississippi completed two The aerial method of attack will be used extensive ly this year by Coach Kelly's men. Dur ing the last quarter many of the sec ond string men of Alabama were put in the game. Enlmet and NoIand played well for this lot.

THE SENIOR SERVICE PLAN

 physically fit but in practically re- newing their youth.
 The senior service system. already noted and carefully tested out. com pines setting-up exercises which open the chest, gently stimulates the heart and start the blood coursing through the system. These are followed by progressive walking, littl hdll climb ing and, later in the development, some weight carrying exercises. The system renews the resistive force of the body, tones up the muscles, opens the chest cavity 50 that the heart and lungs have more room and the breath is deeper and better, gives general exercise to the various muscles which have become more or less atrophied from disuse. and in all cases has re- suited in marked improvement in the spirits of all the men taking the course.
 There has never been any experi- ment of this kind tried before and hence 1t has proven of special inter- est. There are plenty of cases of in- dividuals taking exercise of one form or another and benefiting somewhat by it. but when 25 to 100 men in a group took this senior service work, the result proved remarkable in every
 
 ply this: If you are over military age and wish to renew your youth and are willing to pay the price of devoting some three or four hours week to a scientifically tested system, and can secure a score of other men to do it with you, you can be absolutely : assured of the most marked results.
 The system is combination of set ting-up exercises with outdoor work all carefully and precisely laid out after % years of experience in con ditionirg men. It should be followed absolutely-not partially or occasion {. ally. It is far from severe, It's strength 2 lies in the cumulative effect rather than in any special effort at any one time.
 The question Is simple. Do you wish to be fit7 Will you give up three hours a week to accomplish this? IT 30. the senior service corps work will insure your condition. The work of the men behind the lines is as vital to the country as the labors of the boys on the front.

The fourth quarter opened by Acpco making two forward passes and then losing the ball on downs. Bessemer made a nice pass for 50 yards, Oddo to Harrison, and was with in scoring distance but lost the ball on downs.
 Two nice end runs were then made by Acipco and the game ended with Acipco holding the ball in Bessemer's territory.
 Walker and Bsty were the backfield stars for Acipco, while Barker Deas and Norris starred in the line. Lowery and Baty starred for Bessemer and Baty seems to be a coming star. Ber- ry, McTyiere and Harrison did good work in the line for Bessemer.
 The team is composed of raw ma terial, which is very obvious, but the rough places are being worked out by Coach Harris and it is expected that with a lot of hard practice another good team will represent Bessemer. Noble, at quarter, showed up well on the defensive.
