 Col. Moves was abruptly interrupt. ed from proceeding further when Capt. ThlerfeIdt said: My men arc military rase Let ,Iike yourself and we will give you no pledges"
 With wave of his hand, Col. Moves turned to his own officers and said:
 "Take them away place them un- der guard and shoot, and shoot to Kill if any attempt is made to escape or to leave the confines that have been designated for them to be kept in."

Crimson and Vandy Billed for Bloody Struggle
Consistent Play. WiH Land
 Victory For Kelly's Squad
Commodores Slated for Defeat Although Heated Battle Ex pected-Both Teams in Pink of Condition
 Open Play Will Feature
By FRED BopEkrR

The Vanderbilt football squad will arrive in Birmingham early this morn- ing as the forerunner of the big tilt tomorrow afternoon at Redwood with the University of Alabama eleven in what promises to be close repeti- tion of last Saturdays classic between Alabama and Sewanee. The Crimson outfit will not journey to Birmingham until Saturday morning.
 The coming of the Commodores will mark the final big gridiron clash of the season for the Magic City. The Crimson will go into the fracas with an rnstained record--nothing but a tie contest with Sewanee preventing the claim of an undisputed season of success.
 Open play promises to be the real thriller. Both Coach Kelly and Coach McGugin are strong believers of the forward pass, the trick play, and the sweeping end runs, and the strife to- morrow is expected to be replete with these.
 And as to the probable victor Ala bama, it is generally believed, has a stronger team than the Commodores The two elevens will battle practi- cally on the same terms as far as weight and experience is concerned, but strong offense of the Crimson, coupled with reasonably strong de- fense, is expected to prove the down. fall of the Commodores.
 The battle will not be an easy win for either aggregation. The Commo- dores are much stronger than the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-09

majority of fans believe, while the Crimson is terribly overrated. Ala bama has a strong team, but not the invincible juggernaut that many of her followers rave of.
 Should Alabama play the brand of ball offered against Sewanee last Sat urday, then Kelly's men will be lucky to get away with a tie. Alabama, with 2 powerful backfield, should be able to register at least one touchdown and possibly two or three, the success of the spread formation holding the fate of the Crimson scoring power a secret.
 Vandy Is good for one touchdown at the forward passing game in almost any contest. If Alabama can check the weird offense of the Commodores, the victory should be moderately easy. The Vandy offense has shown nothing thus far to cause it to be reckoned as dangerous
 Then Alabama has an advantage Tn having OConnor, a reliable drop kicker, in case the score is close.
 The Crimson should have walloped the Sewanee Tigers last Saturday, but they failed nliserably Poor playing in the 'pinches'' was chiefly the cause. Now they are slated to ronlp on the Commodores' aggregation, which has never been defeated by the Crimson team.
 Will the trick be turned or will the Conmodores slip out of Birmingham Saturday night with the scalp of an- other Crimson machine dangling to their belt?
 The game is scheduled to start at 2:30 o'clock. Reserved seats are on sale at Parker's drug store.
