University. October 1.-(SpeciaD Prospects for winning football team at the University of Alabama are much brighter than they were week ago. The men have gained midseason spirit and are working hard every afternoon at dark The scrimmages are trimming off the rough corners and giving 6 smooth, efficient form to the men.
 The captain will be elected the first of the week to take the place of Ike Rogers, who is at Camp Pike. There are five men eligible for the place, Boone, Rowe, Johnson, Jack Hovater. There are six "A' men back at the university who will have vote on the matter.
 The first game was postponed from Saturday until Wednesday because or wet grounds, and will be with team representing the Second Ohio Ambu- lance company that is stationed at Montgomery. If the members of the team are allowed to leave their en- campment there will be return game on the campus of the university on next Saturday. There are said to be over 20 football teams organized at the camp and the best men from each team will be selected to go against Alabama. There are several old col lege stars at the camp who will give the Crimson team a stiff battle.
 The Hovater brothers are going good this year. Dexter is coaching the team of the Tuscaloosa high school and will not play for Alabama, but Jack and Walter are out in their old positions. Walter is the same terrific line plum ger that was so valuable last year and Jack is still as strong as stone wall in the line.
 The departure of Mendelsohn left a gap at fullback that is being capably filled by Stevenson and Linblade. Both the men are giants and hit the line fercely. The whole backfield is un usually strong on line plungers, and
