MAY RACE AT CHICAGO
By Briggs

New York, Dec. 6.-An effort to re- establish racing in the Middle West. in the neighborhood of Chicago and St. Louis. is now under way, accord ing to reports. It is said that. the movements at both places will take definite shape when the proper time comes. While it is not intended to open track within the City of Chica- go. it is said to be the plan to conduct racing within reach of the city and in the meantime efforts will be made to get legal sanction to operate under the parimutuel system. An organiza- ' ton is already formed in St. Louis. but there it is likely that all betting will be restricted to members of the

 Although the weather was very un- favorable. a good sized crowd was on hand to watch these bitter rivals of yesterday, clash. The Nutmegs were strengthened by Parsons, the lanky backfield player. who scored the touchdown after receiving a forward pass from Joe Neville. The locals did not get the breaks, several penalties in the second period after Parsons had twice crossed the goal line. brought the ball back into play. How ever.

 pions-Machinists Surprise.A

The Stanley Works basketball quin- tet continued its victorious march to- ward the Industrial league champion ship Saturday night at the State Ar mory, when Chief Larson and his Corbin team, champions last season were beaten. 22 to 16. It was one of the fastest and most exciting games of the season. and the result was in doubt up to the end. Two pretty field goals by Grobstein, toward the close of the fray, decided the issue. Cap tain Pelletier again demonstrated that as a guard he is the peer of the league Captain Larson, played a wonderful game for the losers. In the opening game of the evening, the New Britain Machine company five sprung a surprise by downing the Stanley Rule and Level company tenn, g to 24. Reynolds and Miller starred for the victors.

DARTMOUTH WILL NOT PLAY UNIVERSITY OF
 PlTTSBURG IN 1921

Boston. November -tSpeciaL)- Dartmouth will not play Pittsburg or the football gridiron next fall, all re- ports from Pittsburg to the contrary notwithstanding. And the reason or one of them anyway, according to Hor- ace G. Fender. graduate manager at the big green college in Hanover, is that when the 1921 football season rolls around, the new Eastern College Conference will be in session.
 This organization is made up of Dartmouth, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Co- lunbia and Colgate. New York and Philadelphia will undoubtedly be the scenes of two of Dartmouth's "Big Five games" while Boston and Han- over will see two more of the games This new Abig five" promises to fur nish eastern football fans with some thing little more than worth while, with the new coaching systems fully established and, in most cases, sea- soned veterans returning to college.

 Preparing for Vandy Battle
By JACK FIREMAN

Tuscaloosa, November D. Special. )-"Fair and colder spells ideal football weather and that is the verdict of the soothsaying weatherman fol Saturday. This in order to alla{ any apprehensions that may nave been aroused by the rather damp advent of the present week.
 But to the point Alabama disposed of the Sewanee Tiger in just about the 1ashion she was doped out to, but it was not without considerable exertion on the part of the Crimson-cla warriors that the feat was accomplished. Alabama learned some lessons in last Saturday affair which will be of advantage to her in the ail-important engagement with Vandy, which is scheduled for this com ing Saturday at Redwood park.
 SOME GOOD LESSONS
 Likewise, the Sewanee affair sent home some good lessons to the disinterested football dopesters who looked on com placently from the grandstand and the oieachers. Among these lessons was the one that southern athlete can really ex- ceed the most flattering description of a seemingly overzealous press agent. When the mighty Stevenson plowed through the Tiger line, carrying the Crimson tide on to victory and pIunging through twice himself for touchdowns, the entire mass of spectators knew nothing but admira- tion. They saw and they believed They realized that even the most extravagan, praise that had been registered in favor of this giant fullback fell short of the mark. They realized that they were wit messing a human dynamo wrecking de- struction on helpless opposing eleven in manner really sensational AlI-Ameri- can, we repeat, is not employed lightly when used to describe the phenomenal work of the mighty Stevenson.
 Another member of the Crimson wave who showed good "bringing up' in mat ters pertaining to football was one Sid Johnston, from Athens, Ala Johnston at left guard was one of the best reasons why the continued onslaught of the ven- geance-seeking Tiger failed to dint the impenetrable surface of the Crimson line.

SPORTS = NEW PLAN FOR SOUTHERN LEAGUE -- SP(

practically all of Birmingham had the foresight to purchase tickets during the week, displaying thereby good common horse sense and saving considerable in- convenience for themselves and others by not being forced to stand in line for an indefinite length of time.
 The same inscrutability should be ex- ercised this week by the Birmingham fans, and thereby cause themselves to be looked upon as people of unusual intelli- gence Tickets for the Alabama-van game will be on sale at the following Birmingham establishments: Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Saks, Martha Washington Candy Shop. Parker's Drug Company, Patterson's Drug Store.
 It is needless to say, that the Alabama Vandy game will be exciting Smarting over her close defeat of last year, Ala bama will enter the arena Saturday with recoubled strength and grim determina- tion to make the Commodores fight and fight hard if they intend to duplicate their achievement of last year.
 Dope has been upset before this year. You will say that a record of four de- cisive defeats at the hands of the Ten nessee Commodores will not be broken by the aggressive Crimson. Far be it from us.

 To Meet Auburn
Locals In Fine Shape After Game With Spring Hill.
 Ends Improve
By JOHN l.. HOLMES

Very much elated over their victory over the bunch from Spring Hill, the Birmingham-Southern Partners set out again Monday to get themselves in the best possible shape for the fracas with Auburn Saturday. The game is to be played at Montgomery, and from the Plansmen's standpoint, 1t will be a very good midseason practice affair. But for the Partners it might mean the crip- bling of some of their men and in this way lower the possibilities of Birming- ham-Southern winning their other two games with the University of Chatta- nooga and Howard s
 The game with Spring Hill showed a very marked improvement throughout the whole eleven, but more noticeable was that of the wingmen. The ends, which up to this time have shown a big deficiency, semed to have rounded into A-No. 1 fashion all at once, for their playing was of the very best sort. The line gave way at times but for most of the game it held splendidly.
 The argument with the Hillians was

 kind would be a whooping success" said President Henemann. Tt not only would be the salvation of the weaker clubs, but would eventually work to the interest of the clubs en- toying the large profits. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and if we are not to care for the weak clubs of the organization, then soon we'll have to be looking for other clubs to take their franchises.
 Tt may seem like I want to be the godfather of these smaller clubs, and perhaps l am. But aside from this seeming philanthrophy on my part positively believe every club in the league will benefit The salary limit has been the biggest trouble. It has been a joke. All the clubs that could possibly afford to evade the limit did so. The clubs with small revenue had to scuffle along with players below the southern League standard. If I can get the support of the weaker clubs on this proposition, I intend making it the one big issue at the league meeting in December. It's not my scheme, but, believe me it comes from a man who knows baseball. and in addition to this finances even better than he does baseball"

TWO BEST OFFERINGS

Stevenson and Johnston will be two of Alabama's best offerings against the Commodores when these two teams meet at Redwood next Saturday,.
 In passing it is interesting to note that at last Saturdays game there was not serious congestion at the gates. Crowding and consequent pushing and discontinue was noticeably absent in this game This is due to the fact that

WE'LL OILED MACHINE

When my teams go onto a football | field, they constitute a we'll drilled well oiled machine-instructed to be infinitely careful in execution. Every man in every play, every man making every play cor rectly, every man with out two thoughts in mind: Qp to hold an enemy advance, l2) to be irresistible when on the ad- vance. If my Panthers do that--if they are careful of every detail, never over look the slightest opportunity, they gain ground. When they fail to take infinite pains, they don't
 I'm not much of believer in trick plays, Rarely do they win football games. Too many trick plays are de- trimental to an eleven. I've seen teams go onto a field drilled in dozen different trick plays of intricate nature. In the excitement of battle one or another of the men who was involved in one of the plays got confused--and the whole play was smashed.
 "The team that tries too many trick plays is one which negects sound foot ball And it's sound football that triumphs.
 Maybe some of the folks will think I'm bit old fashioned in clinging to simple and logically developed for1na- tions. But I've seen a thousand different trick formations come and go--and not one of them ever got the same. consis- tent results as simple formation
 INTERFERENCE COUNTS
 Interference-that the thing Foot ball games are won and lost through the strength or the weakness of interference 1 want every man on my team to get into every possible interference Some are assigned to do blocking, some knif- ing, some spilling. But all are schooled fundamentals in one idea. And that is: Protect the Pittsburg ball carrier.
 Mind you, I'm not saying that all trick plays are failures. Lots of them make good. But the trouble is that when one trick makes good coach is tempted to try another-and another. Pretty soon the players brains are all cluttered up with tricks. In the heat of battle they are likely to become bewildered. And bewildered eleven-or an eleven with merely one or two bewildered players in it's lineup is like boxer dazed and groggy.
 Trick formations, therefore. create the grave possibility of hungling, time and again. And bungling sometimes is fatal Simple plays are best. Anyone can do the simple things. Only genius scan do all the intricate things. But I've never, ir all my career, seen eleven geniuses on football field. So.s what chance is there of successfully executing legion of trick plays?

The Thin Red Line warriors were simply too strong for the Purple hosts The Tigers supporters are rejoicing in the fighting spirit shown by the Purple players, who gave all they had and never stopped playing for moment
 This first defeat this season has made the Tigers all the more determined to stage a comeback and show Chatta- nooga and Vanderbilt that the mountain best still has claws

perhaps one of the most sensational ever witnessed on local gridiron A big thrill was furnished when Miller, star fullback for the Partners, caught the pigskin from midair and passed off sixty yards for the winning touchdown. All this was done in the last nine seconds Of play when the score stood 1918.
 No serious injuries resulted from the ordeal. In fact, the only man who had to be taken out on account of an injury was ''Tanlac' Burney, who received a very painful blow on the nose.
 Therefore the whole crew turned out for practice Monday afternoon, fresh and with big determination to give Auburn a fight that she will not so easily for get. It is not expected that Auburn will endeavor to pile up as large a score as she did against Howard, whom she de- feated by a score of 88 to 0, for the Plainsmen have no special grievance against the Ranthers.
