Much Football Spirit at Univer sity-Entire Student Body
 Coming to Game
By JACK FREEMAN

University, October 2S.-
 Special. )-The Crimson and White Jerseys made their first appearance on Denny field this afternoon, when the Ala bama team trotted out clad in the inspiring colors. The very presence of the Jerseys seemd to inject enthusiasm into the team, for the practice this aft ternoon was fast and snappy all the way through.
 Cool weather has also had lot to do with putting pep into the team. And this afternoons practice was the most successful one of the year.
 On the eve of the great battle, Ala bama Is all a quiver, and interest heightens as the game approacnes. Tells may be heard resounding rom the squad almost any time of day TOW,
 
 yells may be heard resounding from a general mass meeting is scheduled for tonight, There is more spirit at Alabama than has been seen since be-
 was looked on as the hardest one of the schedule and one that was to e
 won at any cost. The Sewanee game does not now appear to be actually u e hardest one on Alabamas schedule, Lut that makes no difference to Alabam- ians. The Sewanee game, despite the
 fact that it may not be the hardest one of the schedule, is arousing the same old enthusiasm as it did of yore, and just as of old, Alabama is determined to scalp the Tiger at any cost. It is for the purpose of getting the whole gar s I-some 1900 students-together to- night that the pep meeting has teen called. The purpose is to determine how many loyal Alabama supporters will journey to the Smoky City and see the Sewanee scalping well done. It is likely that practically the whole stu dent body will be in Birmingham Sat urday. It has somehow become a pre- cedent at Alabama that the Sewanee game must be attended. Othery things may go. But the Sewanee game IS not i to be missed. That is the spirit that lis prevailing this week.
 ALUMNI COMING
 Not only will there be an abundance l of Alabama undergraduates in Bir- mingham on Saturday, but alumni will pour in from all quarters of the state and the southland. Saturday will probably witness the greatest crowd oi Alabama alumni ever assembled on a southern gridiron. From the stories
 emanating from the Sewanee camp, il | is evident the students and alumni oi
 the Tennessee institution will also De l on hand in great numbers. At about
 o'clock Saturday afternoon Redwood 1 park will be a seething mass of hu-
 manity breathlessly awaiting one oi | the most celebrated classics of the | south.
 The team is all worked up over the Approaching battle. For the first lime this year, the real calibre of the Ieam l is showing up. The Alabama swine can be heard every afternoon drifting from the teams dressing room. and there is general feeling of something dramatic approaching, when one ,sands
 around and listens.
 | In order to get the team away rom lthe hum drum and the whirl and ex. citement of the University, veteran trapper from Tuscaloosa will carry tho whole team out for a fox hunt Friday night. Following this calming experi ence, the team will leave the University
 Louisville and Nashville station about 8:30, arriving in Birmingham at t0:3t O'Clock. From their special Louisville and Nashville coach they will be es- Dtx-sx, la rkS r<xtx trx Club, where they will be quartered uh til the battle is called.
 A parade of students will be staged from the L. & N. station up Twentieth
 street, and thence over a circuitous route of the Birminsham business district. SAME BACKFIELD
 Birmingham will likely see the same backfield in action Saturday that she SC maryeled at in the Sewanee game las year That is, it will be the same per. sonnel, but 1t is doubtful If last year'l backfield could measure up to this years in skill and endurance. Lenoir and fielders were not in the best of con- fielers, were not in the best of con dition last year, but this year they are in perfect shape.
 An opportunity that does not ofter come to southern grid fans will be of fered Saturday, that of witnessing o1 an all-American prospect in. action ir southern game. Stevenson has melted comment all over thu country for his phenomenal playing, and was mentioned by several sporting writers last year fo, all-American With the handicap of his physical incapacity removed this year, he should attain the distinction which he so nearly won last year. Alabama stu. dents are one in demanding that their war hoss'' be given a hearing in the higher football courts of the country.
 Mullie Lenoir will be seen in all his agility. while Talty O'Connor will be on hand to give any exhibitions of fancy toe driving if called upon.
 The quarter position is not certain, but tt Is rumored that Coach Scott will start the game off with Walter Hovater. the weli-known pilot of last year Hovater has not had hand at running the team this year. and the followers of the squad are anxious to see him back at his accustomed postof quarterhack. Luke Sewell if he does not open the game. will more than likely get fh at. quarter as thr ~os~-~ ~-9~-e-cns
 POSITIONS IN DISPUTE
 Some of the line positions are still in dispute. Ben Hunt threatens to usurp Shorty Cooper's authority at right tackle
