 of Ohio Regiment

University, September 24.-(Special) The football schedule of the Univer- sity of Alabama will begin next Sat- team of the Second company of the ambulance corps of Ohio is met. There are said to be several old college stars on this team and good game is ex- pected. A game with Southern univer- sity was scheduled for this date but the Southern university team has can celled its entire schedule.
 The game for Thanksgiving has not yet been definitely arranged, but in or Ohio Wesleyan. Games with the soldiers at the Anniston camp is still being considered. The regular sched- ule is full, however, and these games would have to be specially arranged.
 ''Tink" Gillian was at the univer sity Saturday and is considering enter ing. Since the Birmingham college team cancelled it's schedule Gillam has left school and is yet undecided what to do. He is thinking of entering the aviation corps. and if he does not do this he will probably be in a Grim son uniform this year. Alabama al ready has number of good halfbacks. but another one of the calibre of Tink would be welcomed.
 The fight for center has been tempo rarily settled by shifting Repitto to tackle. Repitto and Tram Sessions have been waging close contest for this position. Both were such good men that Coach Kelly felt it would hurt the team not to have both men in the game all the time. so he shifted Repitto. This shift is only trial and he may yet be the regular center for the Alabama team.
 Mac Stowers has been showing up unusually we'll in kicking practice, and he may do the bunting instead of OConner. Spangler new candidate for halfback. is also good punter. Just on whom the burden of the kick ing will fall has not yet been decided. but it is known that this department

NEW YORK. Feb 2i.-Better cables

Of the Cotton Exchange this morning ana
the market was only steady, with prices

sold March and purchased May.
Commission houses generally were sellers,
while New orleans purchased Spot in
tcrcsts operated on both sides in the early
dealings. Liquidation from various sources
was noted In the late months, however,
cotton could only be purchased at advanc-
ing bids.
Scattering liquidation for over the holt
day, and the evening up of March con-
tracts in preparation for possible notices
on Friday, caused irregularity in early
prices. 1t seemed, however, that March
was being well taken at discount of
only 20 points. as compared with May,
while the continued wet weather in the
eastern belt appeared to bring in some
fresh buying of new crop positions.
The market steadicd in consequence and
the rally was encouraged by frmncss in
New orleans. There was also some Liver
pool buying on the advance which carried
present crop positions about to points
net higher during the middle of the morn
ing. The new crop was relatively firm,
partly on buying by people who were
selling near months, and worked II to Ia
points above last nights closing figures.
Business tapered off during the middle of
the day. Trading had been only moderately
active at the best, and it seemed around
midday that scattering accounts had been
pretty well adjusted for the holiday. There
was some further switching from March to
| later deliveries. but otherwise there was
virtually no feature and the market was
very quiet in the noon hour. Prices showed
