Auburn Coaches Working on the Faults of Defedted EleUen
Followers of Plansmen Crying for Victory Over VandTeam j Takes New Pep Following Crushing Defeat
 From Little Davidson Aggregation

Saturday is past history and as past history the Tiger is willing to let it stay and start anew this week in an- ticipation of the conflict with tho Van derbilt huskies next Saturday in Nash . vile. Coach Donahue and Coach Tich- enor have seen the defects in the Orange and Blue machine and they are going after them heart and soul this week A splendid start was begun this evening. Every man came through the conflict in good shape. Naturally some of the mems muscles should be sore, and they were, but every man was out this evening for practice. The pep was kept up to 9 remarkable extent this afternoon and this has always gone long ways to win games for any school
 When a game was announced sew eral weeks ago with Eandy, all the student body were very much delight ed A friendly rivalry has always ex- isted between these historic institu- tions and when athletic relations were again established it made us all feel good. Auburn men like vandy men, but not so much that we think they are going to beat Us this year. All over town signs are displayed and most of them read like this: "Vandy must be defeated" That is the spirit that has always characterized Auburn and that team that is work every evening until long after dark has it, too. The game next Saturday will be between teams that have both been defeated and are out of the championship race, but as they are they will put up game worth while. and which will attract the at tention of the south, even if Georgia Tech is tackling team from the north.

Moguls Fail 10 Sanction
 Formation of NeW League
Amended Resolution Defeated Il to 2Barow and Tearney Lone Executives to Favor-American Association
 Will Not Open Until May

Louisville, November 14.--There
 will be no new formation of
 league to include the Louisville,
 Indianapolis and Toledo clubs of
 the American association, and cer-
 thin clubs Of the International
 league.
 This was definitely decided today when the National Association of Base ball Leagues voted down an amended resolution offered by Edward Barrow. president of the International league. to redistrict every minor league in the country.
 The vote was Ii to 9.
 The original resolution. drafted by the commission on revision of the constitution, had provided for the re- districting of only the smaller leagues of the country. President Barrow caused surprise, however. by offer ing an amendment to include all leagues.
 There was stormy debate on the pro- posal and only two league executives, Barrow and A. R. Tearney of the Three-I league, voted for if.
 Club owners of the American asso- cided to open the 1918 season not before May 1-nearly three weeks later than in previous years. Allan T. Baum of San Francisco. president of the Pacific Coast league, today was unanimously elected vice president of the National Association of Baseball Leagues, to succeed Timothy II.

CRIPPLED ALABAMA
 SQUAD GETS DOWN
 ID TRAINING AGAIN
Coach Kelly Hopes to Make Season Success After Recent Disappointing
 Showing

University, November 14--(Specia1.) The crippled Alabama team returned to Tuscaloosa Sunday night, considerably the worse for the game with Wander bilt Saturday. The game was one of the toughest seen in Birmingham for many years and every man carried painful reminders of the fracas.
 Three men will be out for the rest of the season as a result, Johnson, the star guard, Blair, the halfback, and Boone. who was expected to make all-southerE end this year. Boone is in a. state Of absolute toothlessness, and will not be able to play again this year. Johnson's s sanlIle was so badly sprained that it had
 to be put in a plaster cast and he will be out at least until Thanksgiving, and probably the remainder of the season. Blairs leg had both bones broken, and his footballing days are over probably for the rest of his life. Altogether the game was most costly one for the Crimson. and exacted a very heavy toll. The next game on the schedule is with Kentucky State in Lexington next saturday. Kentucky State has been giving stiff opposition to all the teams She has met thus far and a hard battle IS expected with her Saturday. Alabama Will have hard time getting ready for this game with three regulars out, but the men will be given unremitting work ali the week, and by Saturday some semblance of the former machine will again be seen.
 A most impressive array or stars Is on the Camp Gordon team that will meet Alabama in Birmingham Thanksgiving. There are several who had their college football training in an Alabama. uni- form, and their work against their alma. mater will be watched with interest. This game will complete one of the most disappointing seasons the Alabama team has ever had.
 At the beginning of the year it seena- ed that an unusually strong team had been collected, but as time went on the expected strength failed to materialize in the last two games. victory was lost because of inability to put the ball over In a crisis, after the Alabama team had displayed it's superiority all through the game.
 For the past two weeks, a great deal of attention will be given to developing this last punch that is needed to win foot ball games and then perhaps, when Ala bama has the ball on her opponents' one-yard line with four downs in which | to put it over, the necessary punch
 1 will be there. Hard work will be dealt l out to the Crimson warriors this week
 l and next by Coach Kelly, and attempts
 1 will be made to yet make the season a 1 success. If hard and honest work can
 make the Alabama football team have
 any form by Thanksgiving the Birming- ! ham fans can rest assured that they will

If Your Blood Happens to Be in Bad Condition, s. S. s.
 Will Correct It Now

The peculiar effect on the blood caused by the rapid changes of winter, the chilly blasts and dampness long con- tinued, will undoubtedly have a disastrous effect upon your system if your hood happens to be in bad condition. You should not allow yourself to run the risk of suffering with boils and carbuncles, you should not will lingly walk into the snare of pain and suffering of rheuma- tism or catarrh when you can put your blood in shape to pre- vent it by the simple method of taking $. s. $. for a short pe- riod during tile fall.
 Boils and carbuncles are evidence of disordered blood. They do not nee essarily mean an inherited taint. but they tell you that your blood is poi soned-that the life-giving stream that should flow through your veins-pure. vigorous and healthy-has become up- set, maybe by overeating and drink ing, possibly by constipation, stomach trouble or uric acid. Whatever the cause. your blood has become poi soned and you are not going to know what 1t is to feel entirely well until the poison and impurities have been washed from your system. The blood,

|UNBEATEN CENTRAL ID BATTLE bL0UNT

Coach Thomas will send his undefeated Central High school team. claimants fo, state championship. against the strong Blount County High school Saturday afternoon at Redwood Field at 2:ss o'clock. The Central squad is in excel lent condition. and the game last week with Ensley failed to work any hard ship on the Central players.
 The Bolunt team Is unusually strong this season and will come to Birming- ham prepared to give Central a tough battle. Central. however. is stronger this season than in recent years, and will be prepared to meet the farmers.
 Central displays some nifty open play. and it would not be surprising if the Blount boys are not swept off their feet Centrals S4 to victory over Ensley last week illustrates the scoring power of the machine.
 Should Blount defeat Central the locals claim for the title will be crushed victory and by a substantial score, would greatly increase their claims

Will Consider Proposition for Clash With South

Pittsburg, November 14.-University of Pittsburg athletic authorities tonight re- fused to comment on the reported pro- posal of officials of the American Red Cross that the Georgia Tech and the Panther eleven, both of which have been unbeaten for three seasons, play a game on Novemb CT 24 for thv benefit of the Red Cross. It was seated it was not the policy of the University of Pittsburg to play post-season games, but that the circumstances might lead the faculty to approve such a game, especially since the games cannot be considered a post season contest. It was said the proposa, would be seriously considered.
 Members of the Pittsburg team were enthusiastic over the plan and said they hoped such 8 game could be arranged to be played here or in New York.

VISITS AMERICAN FALLS
COnfers With Power County Farm
Bureau and School Trustees Rela-
tive to Club Work for Next Year.

Miss u. Fay Fowler, assistant state
boys and girls club leader, visited
American Falls Wednesday and as
sisted in laying the plans for aggres-
sive work with the boys and girls
clubs for next year. As a result of
her visit the work has been put on a
practical basis and an agricultural in
structor engaged whose entire time
will be given to club work during the
summer vacation. The county su-
perintendent and county agent will
cooperate with the county club lead
er by organizing clubs in the country
districts and get them under way
The salary for the county leader
will come from the state extension SER
vice of the University of Idaho, and
is derived from an appropriation by
congress for this specific purpose.
Power countys share in this apprO-
priation is $3.50. The county will pay
$50 a month for three months toward
expenses, Independent School District
No. l will pay 500, and the Farm
Bureau guarantees $50. which makes a
total of $3.50 for this work
Mr.. L. Z. Quick, the agricultural in
structor for Independent District No
1, will be employed as club leader in
the event that he is not called to the
service of his country. If he is called,
his successor will become the leader
Mr.. Quick is splendidly equipped for
this work. He will meet with the
clubs in April, and assist in laying out
the years program, but his active field
work will not begin until the close Of
school, except as to American Falls
and the immediate vicinity. Prior TO
the close of school Mrs. Wilson and
| Mr.. KjOsness will have its supervision.
In the fall the plan is to gather a
county exhibit and have an achieve
ment day. The state club leader, W.
T. Mccall, is planning to supervise
the work very closely. and most of
his time will be devoted to the eleven
counties of the state which have boys

pose to make such a showing in the
eleven counties as will result in the
employment of a club leader for every
county The government realizes that
our boys and girls are our farmers OF
the future, and to stimulate them anC
give instruction along right lines al
increasing appropriation has beer
made for every year up to 1925, anC
thereafter a fixed amount for edcl
year.

WOMEN STUDY WAR REGISTRY.
Learn How to Conduct Next Weeks
Service Enrolment in Ada County

The school for registrars, held
Monday at Carnegie hall. where about
so women from Boise and the county,
who expect to take part in the great
work of registering the women of Ada
county for service, were present, was
a great success, says the Boise States
man. For the early part of the meet
ing, Mrs. Franklin I. Coats, county
chairman, presided. She introduced
Mrs. F.. A. Pittenger, who explained
the work quite in detail, after which
a general discussion followed.
Two questions seemed to be the
greatest stumbling blocks. One was
how to make the women believe that,
while they are asked to register wheth-
er they can work or not. since the
government wants a complete list of
the women Of the state, the service
promised is purely voluntary and will
never be pushed if there is any hesi-
tatiOn later on the part of those reg
istering. If for instance, ones cir
cumstances should change in the
meantime and render the promised
service quite impossible or ineXpedi-
ent, it is only necessary to say so; no
work is compulsory.
OIueTS ledTeu ludl IL lueN regis
tered as trained in some special line
il would interfere in the husbands s
securing an exemption if drafted. This,
the government assures the regis
trants, will in no way interfere.
One of the other stumbling blocks
was how to register the house moth
er, who has only little time TO work
and that in the home. She is to be
registered under No. "a, Industries
by Home Employment" or else. by an
annexation under TX, miscellaneous

Registrars are to ascertain on the
cards what women want special train
ing TO fit them better for some special
service. If there are 10 or more
women who want any one course OF
instruction or training, that special
training will be provided either
through the Y. NJ. c. A. night public
school. or some other agency.
Before the meeting closed Mrs. Ed
ward G. Rosenheim called her city
lieutenants together for special in
struction. George Curtis will have
charge of the registration in the 81

COAL SITUATION CONSIDERED
BY BOARD OF TRADE
Don't Rely Upon Coal. Says Fuel Ad-
ministratOr-Steps Taken to Aid
Congressman Smith in Fort Hall
Canal Extension Project.

At the meeting of the Board of
Trade Tuesday evening consideration
was given to ways and means to as
sist Congressman Addison T. Smith in
pressing the extension of the Fort Hall
canal to the western line of the reser-
vation upon the attention of the In
dian department. Considerable pro-
gress was made about a year ago, but
the ,plunging of the United States into
war temporarily diverted attention
from everything else. Mr.. Smith has
been successful in dealing with irri-
cation problems. When he takes hold
OF a thing he holds on like bull pup.
Last year he induced the reclamation
service, after months of effort, to take
over the Medbury Carey project at
Glenns Ferry. Whether he can ac-
complish anything in the face of war
remains to be seen, but it is an as
sured fact that the Indian department
will be constantly reminded of the
practicability and the desirability of
building the extension.
The coal situation was discussed
from every angle, with a view to per-
fecting an organization to secure an
equitable distribution of coal through
cut the winter. j. T. DOran, fuel ad-
ministrator for the county, Mayor Han
son and w M. Davie told of the steps
that had been taken to secure coal,
and of the very dubious outlook. The
prevailing mild weather is the only
thing that has prevented acute suffer
ing. American Falls needs car of
coal every day Little more than a
fourth of this amount is being re-
ceived. Mr.. Doran said it should be
brought home to every home in the
county to provide wood or sagebrush
for fuel, and not to depend upon coal.
The suggestion was made that Mayor
Hanson take charge of the distribu-
ton of COAL and that the Board of
Trade members make canvass of the
town and report on the supply of each
. family and its monthly needs in order
20 secure an equitable distribution. II
has been found that people out of coal
have put in an order with every dealer
in town. A plan is being considered
to have all orders placed through the
mayor or the fuel administrator, witt
no deliveries to anyone except upon
a written order. Deliveries are now
being limited to 515 pounds per family
An appropriation of 500 was made
to the American Falls Municipal band
and every member urged to get behinC
the band concert to be given Tuesda!
