This week viii see the close of
the 1881 football season in Bir-
mingham, for with Thanksgiving

A. & Nj. and the Central Ensley
clash. Both games will be played

Neither Alabama nor A. & NJ
has had very successful season.
Coach Scott, with a squad of
green an inexperienced men, has
a most promising but ineffective
eleven this season The Crimsons
have lost four games and have a
tie against them. Next season
Alabama will bear watching,
however, for Scott's material is
certainly promising.
Mississippi A. & NJ. has lost
three games. to Tulane, Tonnes
see and Texas. The Aggies have
a fairly strong eleven, however,
and are doped to give Alabama
trouble Thursday.

Coach Wilce May
Protest Western
Conference Game

Columbus, o., November 2O.--
nounced Int tonight that he may
protest yesterdays football vie
tory of Illinois over Ohio State
to game officials, following the
exhibition of motion pictures of
the game at n downtown theatre,
which showed clearly that in the
forward pass which resulted in
the Illinois touchdown the ball
hit the ground before WnIquist
recovered IL, and dashed several
yards to the goal line.
Grounding of "a ball in a forward
pass play makes the play a failure
and the ball returned to its original
position. Game officials yesterday
held that the ball touched Walquist's
hand, struck Captain Meyers of Ohio
State, then bounced off his chest and
was recovered by Walquist.
Coach Wilce said tonight that Ohio
state protested the decision at the
time, claiming that the ball hac
struck the ground before it hit Myers
Wilce said he probably would call
the attention of the game officials
to the motion pictures IL they sup
port Ohio States claim made yester-
day. The Illinois victory probably
would stand and added that the ref
cree and umpire should know the
fact. He did not indicate~>that the
score would be protested before west
ern. conference officials.
I'VE DIT least still have the satisfac-
tion of knowing the TRUTH" Coach
Wilce said.
Motion pictures distinctly showed
10 II ha
hitting Captain Myers. Following Its
public showing the football film was
run seven times before an audience
of newspaper men tonight.
The theatre showing the pictures
announced that it will present the
film to the Ohio State university ath-
letic department.

AIabama's Third Game Here

AIabama's Third Game Here
The Alabama-A ggie struggle
Will mark the third appearance
of the Crimsons at Fleetwood this
season. Local fandom is anxious
to see Alabama win game at
Redwood again, and 1t is likely
that a record crowd will witness
the game. especially since A. &
M. will be Alabama's opponent.
The clean, hard play of the Ag-
giles always finds favor with the
crowd.
One of the biggest prep bat
ties of the state will take place
at Redwood Thursday morning
when Central and Ensley are
meeting. Central has beaten Bes-
semer, which defeated Ensley, so
it would seem that the Crimsons
are favored to defeat the Jackets.
Ensley has developed a powerful
aerial attack since the Bessemer
game. however. and is sure to
give Central lots of trouble.
Birmingham has had an unusu-
ally good football season, and
the two games Thursday come
as a fitting climax.
