 Tuscaloosa, December IT, Special. Jon the eve of the university's suspension for the Christmas holidays, Athletic Director Charles A. Bernier breaks his long silence and an- nounces the practically com plete 1921 schedule for the Crimson Tide. This schedule is as follows:

 October 29. Louisiana State University at New Orleans
 November ,, Vanderbilt at Birmingham.
 November Il ksrmistice). Florida at Denny field
 November 19. Georgia t Atlanta.
 November 2i (Thanksgiving), Missls- sippi A. X M. at Birmingham
 The announcement of the above pro gramme will be eagerly received by the many followers of the Crimson Tide throughout the south. Within the space of two years the Alabama eleven has grown into one of the most formidable teams in the entire south, and it's bril- liant playing of the past season won thousands of followers wherever 1t was seen in action.
 It will be noticed that there are two dates yet open on the Crimson schedule. There are several engagements pending for these dates, and it is not certain vet which of them will be selected. The Howard game, just closed, will be the first of the preliminary games and looms up as one of the most interesting to be staged on Denny field next year. The Howard management is passing the at- fair and the city of Tuscaloosa is al- ready backing it strongly. It is likely that the Tuscaloosa merchants will give this game the same support and hearty cooperation which they accorded the l.. $. U. game the past season and. l. so, it is practically certain that the gate receipts will be something enor- nous. This will be advantageous to Howard, as the game will be played on a percentage basis of gate receipts, Howard promises to bring large del egation from her school over to the university to open the season.
 Next year will witness the entrance of Spring Hill upon the Crimson schedule. Moon Ducotes outfit has the name of giv- ing good account of itself wherever 1t goes, and this game bids fair to be fast and interesting.
 October and 15 are still undated and several teams are being considered.
 With the preliminary season over the tide enters upon it's heavy work Of the season Sewanee will be the first shock this classic being slated for one week earlier than last year. The Tigers were strong in Birmingham this year and Alabama and Sewanee have for years been bitter but friendly rivals
 DATE IN NEW ORLEANS
 New Orleans has long wanted to see the Crimson forces from Alabama in ac- tion and next year it will have this wish gratified in the Alabama-L. s. U. game, which will be staged in the me tropolis of the south on october 2s.
 BirminghanEs second game will be that between Alabama and Vanderbilt, and this encounter needs no explana- ton to those who have seen the two teams in action.
 For the big homecoming day (Armis- tice Day), the authorities have secured an engagement with the University of l Florida, the game to be played on the | University of Alabama campus. Atlanta will be the scene of the eel 1 ebrated Alabama Georgia games. This game is fast coming to the front as the banner scrape of the season Turkey Day will see the Crimson tide pitted against the Mississippi Aggies at Redwood in Birmingham. This game is 1 always a stiff fight and draws huge crowds.
 Thus will end the 1921 season for the Crimson Tide, and it's devotees are hop ing that it will be as successful as the season just expired.
