 SeWanee Game

'Wouldn't it be nice if Birmingham were decorated in the colors of se- vance and Alabama football elevens Saturday when those two elevens lay here?
 Many football enthusiasts say it would, and are making efforts to have merchants and others look at it in that light.
 The Chamber of Commerce has writ ten letter to the merchants advocat- ing this official recognition of the event MT. Bum says:
 Birmingham is the logical football center of the south, but, m order to attract the big colleges to our city to play these games and to participate in the trade they bring. we must appeal to their sportsmanship by our tor- dial cooperation. How?
 'By decorating our stores with the colors of Sewanee, (purple and whi.e); and of Alabama, tcrimson and whi.e).
 By special football displays in our shop windows.
 By mentioning the game in our reg. ular advertisements.
 By boosting the game with cur employees and others and letting our employees off to see the game wher- ever possible.
 Let's pull together to make Bir> mingham the best football town in the southern states"
