University, November 1O.- Especial. )-There being nc conflicting athletic events in Alabama tomorrow and that day having been designated the first annual alumni home com- ing day by the Alumni associa- tion of the university, there should be a mammoth attend ance at the Alabama-L. s. U, game on Armistice Day.
 Again dragging out the old measur- ing stick, if comparative scores are to be relied upon, the two teams are as equally matched as could be imagined. Alabama has a clean slate and she WilL fight desperately to maintain its stainlessness, while Louisiana State university has the reputation at stake ot being about the most powerful eleven in the southwestern conference. One must lose its prestige, but both will fight doggedly to preserve it, and thereon hangs a gridiron battle worthy os witnessing.
 Alabama is fast recuperating-or probably it should be said that she had already recupeNsted from--the ef- focts of the tilt wNk the vanderbilt Commodores. The first scrimmago since the gigantic battle of Rickwoo will occur tomorrow afternoon, whea Coach Scott will trot his warriors out and warm them up for their grapple with Louisiana States University Ti- gers. which Is to follow on the suc- ceeding day.
 All of Alabama will have the oppor- tuntty of seeing the giant stephen son, Alabsma's bid for Ali-American, in action Thursday. It will be worth travelling miles to see this human pile- driver try his hands against one of the strongest line-ups in the south. Steph- enson has seldom failed to go through when called for run, and it will be Interesting to observe his actions when hemmed in by such a powerful lineup.
 Lenoir, the blonde jack rabbit, who has piled up such a phenomenal score, will also be seen, and one cannot well overestimate the thrills he occasions when he plunges over the line, some times without interference, or gets away stealthily around ends for sen sational runs.
 Tram Sessions, the stalwart center from Birmingham, and Albert Clemens. the youth who so covered himself with glory in the Sewanee and Vanderbilt engagements, will be at their posts of pivot and left end. respectively.
 Tally O'Connor will be present and many who have heard of him will on Thursday have the chance of seeing this halfback do some real football playing.
 Among the new men who will be observed are Batty Kirby and Nichols, in the backfield, and Fioretti, Cooper, Montgomery and Hunt in the line. All of these men are excellent ma- teriai.
 Special coaches will be run on the Louisville and Nashville and schedules are so arranged that one can come down from Birmingham in the morn ing and leave that night. The Louis- vile and Nashville that leaves Birning- ham at o'clock reaches Tuscaloosa at s:25 and the train leaving Tuscaloosa at $50 in the afternoon arrives at Birmingham at 7:45.
 The roads from Birmingham to Tus- caloosa are in excellent condition. Leaving Birmingham via Ensley over the dirt road. one comes by Vivian, Bessener. Adger, Johns. Yolande. Rockcastle, Rrookwood. Tidewater, Holt, and thence to Tuscaloosa It Is a nice drive and there will doubtless be many who will make the trip through in their cars
