IAIARAMA'S MACHINE

 |IN REGENT SEASONS
Hot Battle Expected Redwood Saturday Between Auburn Plansmen and Mississippi Aggies-Watkins Says
 Outlook for Crimson Is Best in Years
nv FRED BopEKEn

'sITnless the University of Alabama football team has a most successful year. the pre- season doping of gridiron pos sibilities of elevens will no longer hold good,'' is the opinion of George Watkins, prominent football authority ana OH cial, who returned to Birmingham SunoaS after officiating in the game at Iusca- loosa Saturday between Alabama anu Mississippi college.
 The outlook for the Crimson to have sweeping year is better than eVer' ac' cording to Watkins. Coach Kelly has an abundance of material and IS WorKins bis men hard for the coming tilts at Redwood with Sewanee and Vanderbilt
 That the Crimson Is only strong on the offense is denied by Watkins "The Ala bama team is one of the best have seen in early season in many years he said "Coach Kelly, it is true, has an extra large amount of material, but he is work ing his men right, and that counts lot.
 DEFENSE IS GREAT
 "A,abama's offense is great. They have four men In the backfield who are nara for any steady man to tackle And the line. although generally reported weak, Is fully as strong as last season The only disadvantage can see in the team IS the lack of experience, but I figure that With in another week, the teamwork Will oft- set any handicap in this respect.
 ..The Mississippi team was WoeIulis weak and Alabama could have registered a 1Oo-to-0 victory as easily as she did <otlv seemed to lay particular stress on goals from field ana no less than 10 were tried. Two were sue cessful. The ball was always worked on end runs, line bucks and fake plays to the 1O-yard line and 10 8 field goal, drop kick or forward pass tried.
 And the ball was given to the MISSES sppi boys frequently, so heliys men could obtain some defensive practice' They found the Crimson line a stone wall.
 "Of course. the great difference in the weight and ability of the teams might have made Alabama look great, but have seen enough football teams in ac- tion to realize good one when see II. Over-confidence and injuries are the only things which can prevent the Crimson from having phenomenal year.
 Birmingham's gridiron fans will nave their first look at a real football battle Saturday afternoon at Redwood, when Auburn clashes with the Mississippi Az gies. It will be the start Of trio or m teresting battles at Redwood, the Se- Alabama and the Vanderbilt-Ala- bama games following.
 The conflict Saturday promises to DC one of unusual bitterness. Those whc witnessed the two teams clash last season saw one of the hardest fought games oi the local season. And the Aggies are coming to Birmingham again this season with the same idea-upset the dope" The Plainsmen are always strong. but the exact strength of the Donahue az. gregation is not known.
