THE PILL HAS CHANGETH

Whew, just listen to our rontempo- rary. Jack Warwick, in the Atlanta Constitution, rave:
 Behold. the winter approaches and again the old pill changeth it's shape!
 "There can be no sport without pill--be that pill oval or precisely round. The pill. forsooth, may be spherical or oblong; 1t may be from the dermis of the sucking pig or yet of the hide of a prancing steed; it may be delicately curved from the nro- turberant tuck of tho elephant; 1t may be bound tight by leathern throassi 1t may be closely held by near-knit bits of waxen thread; 1t may be pneumatic as the football or yet as solid as the billiard ban-but there must be pill.
 Baseball. golf. football, polo. pool and billiards, the marbles of our adolescence, and last but not least, basketball-alI require a pill for their success. The beloved oval pig skin of the football season has sped with the moleskins for their nurlal ten n-months leisure--but another Dill approaches.

Coach HutselI
 Loses TUo or His Best Men

Coach Hutsell's team of cross country runners will enter Saturdays race in a badly crip- pied condition, due to the fact that two of the teams most re- liable runners, John and Wiley McDougall, will most likely be absent from the race.
 The two McDougails who have been showing up exceptionally well this sea- son, were called to Chicago day or so ago due to the serious illness of their father. It is not thought that they will be able to get back by Satur- day afternoon, when the race will be run.
 tack, they will hardly be able to do much in the race, as they will have missed the last ten days training, and ten days training means much in the life of a cross-country runner.
 TWO NEW MEN
 OodSi AioSooA udo DSCA lOOhiu6 around for two men to take the places of the two McDougalls on his team and he believes that he has spotted a pair of runners who will at least make 8 creditable showing. They are Lou Denson and Hollis Arnold, two new corners on the E. A. c. squad. Both are promising youngsters, but, of course lack the experience and ability of their contemporaries.
 .- Six men are required to make up a full team. With the two new ones to take the places made vacant by the ab sence of the two McDougalls, Coach Hutsell, now has six reliable men. His team lines up something like this: Els worth Richter, Glenn Laughlinhouse. Bill Hoskins, Henry Beatty, Lou Den Bon and Hollis Arnold.
 ]! RICHTER A SENSATION
 :, Richter has proven the sensation of the south during his two seasons as a cross country runner. Last year he started out with the B. A. c. abso- lutely new to road work. In the an- fiual road race of the Athletic club he not only finished first but also broke the course record, proving beyond the shadow of doubt that he had the flakings of one of the country's crack runners. This year he has lived up to inc reputation won last season and has been clipping off the miles with pre- cision and speed. Richter is expected to do well in the race of Saturday. :, In Glenn Laughlinhouse the B. A. c.

 DIXIE'S GRID SEASON

New Orleans, November 29.--tSpecial) The last faint echoes of Dixies 1920 gr1d- iron season will be heard Saturday. when the Green Wave of Tulane will attempt to engulf the Detroit University eleven in New Orleans.
 The game with Detroit, next to the Michigan battle the first of the season, will perhaps be the hardest that Tulane has had to play this year. But there will be one thing in favor of the Greenies when they. buck up against De- troit.
 Forrest McGraw, ineligible for s. l. A. A. games will return to the Tulane line- ,up for the game with the University of Detroit team.
 fullback will make it possible for Coach
 Shaugneesy to strengthen his forwards
 by sending Beallieu from the backfietd to his regular line position. The Detroit eleven will not raise any objections to McGraw's presence in tho Tulane lineup The visiting eleven has no regard for eligibility rules, according to all reports.
 Incidentally, the Detroit line includes four players over 9Oo pounds, and the average is something like 10 pounda heavier than the Green Waves weight
 scale.
 Walter Eckersall greatest American quarterback of all time, will referee the Tulane-Detroit game at Heinemann par" Saturday.
 Eckersall, Chicago University captain 19oS- won a berth on Walter Camps all- American eleven. He held place on the annual alI-American squad for three con secutive years.

A. & M. Enters
 39 Runners In B. A. C. EUent

Entries for the tenth annual road race of the Birmingham Athletic club, which will be held Saturday, are coming in in such numbers as to exceed the expectations of the club off cialS.
 The latest entry is by far the larg- est. Coach Bailey of Mississippi X. & M. has entered five full teams tot1I of 30 men. It is doubtful if any college in the south and middle west could duplicate this entry from their own ranks, as the Maroons have had all these men on the training table throughout the fall. and their frequent meets have given them the opportunity to develop the largest cross-country squad ever collected in the history Of the southern inter-collegiates. Coach Bailey Is very enthusiastic over the prospects of his varsity team, as each man is a seasoned veteran. Captain Morrow ran second to Knight of Kentucky State in the S. l. A. A. half-mile last spring, and Spencer. southern 5-mile champion, has enough speed to cover the Smile course in record time, as he and McClasky of Georgia Tech rank as the best milers | in southern college circles. Cochran, | last years freshman star, Is just as speedy as Spencer, losing the 5-mle
 title to him by less than 10 yards.
 Some of the entries already is as fol- lows:
