TANKS HAVE NOT YET CINCHED FLAG . THE AMERICAN
New York Needs Only One More Victory to Cop
 Pennant

Chicago, September 30.-The New York Yankees did not clinch the American league pennant by being idle today, according to William Harridge, secretary to President Ban Johnson of the American, although loss by the Yankees of their two re- maining regularly scheduled con tests would find them still, in first place, even if Cleveland won all of it's games.
 The anomalous situation is cov-2 cred by an American league rule un- der which the Yankees will have 10 play today's postponed contest with Philadelphia tomorrow, transferring the game to New York, where they already are scheduled to play one contest with the Athletics, according to MT. Harridge. 8@
 "The rule is that if the two teams postponing a game meet again in regularly scheduled game before the end of the season. the postponed con- test must be played in that series, said MT Harridge. Since Philadel- phia and New York are scheduled to play in New York tomorrow the game will have to be transferred there and played as part of a double header. If the Yankees and the Ath- letics were not scheduled to play again this season, New York would have won the pennant by being idle. today. F.
 MT. Johnson is out of the city and, could not be reached by wire. s

ALABAMA TO MEET
 SPRINGVILLE TEAM ON CAMPUS TODAY
CrimSonS Expect Hard Game With Hillians From Mobile.
 New KiCkerS Discovered

Tuscaloosa. September 3O.-(Spe. ial)-Tension is at high pitch at Alabama over the game to be played with Springhill college here tomor- row afternoon. The Hillians are newcomers on the Crimson schedule, and it istot known exactly what to expect, but if all reports are true there is going to be fought a very still battle.
 The Crimsons have not let up on their hard training this week, and will be in good shape. Except for few sore ankles and minor bruises the men are all in fine form
 Alabama has been showing up rather poorly at kick off, but Coach Scott has just discovered two men on his squad who can send the pig skin down dangerously close to the opponents goal, and with plenty of height. They are Blackwood and PaRett. Clemens and Wesley are two promising drop kickers.
 Line Strengthened
 Alabamas stone wall line is strengthening every day, as the roughness is being smoothed out by hard work. The line will probably start off with Clemens. Baker. Mont gomery, Hunt, Blackwood, Cooper and Newton. Jack Langhorn and big Ben Compton will also doubtless get into the fray. Davidoff has been shifted to end and will likely be used.
 Kirby, Rosenfeld, Whitaker, Wes> ley, Baty and Little are the huskies from which Scott will pick his back field, and any combination picked from this group will make a formid able aggregation. Ver3 likely they will all be used, as Stott likes to give all the men a tfy-out in the preliminary games.
 Kirby and Rosenfeld did wonder ful work in the Howard game, and have been going good this week in the practices. Of course, Alabama is doped to win tomorrow, but they are not expecting complete walk away The preliminary games this season are all creating more than usual interest, and tomorrow's game will probably be witnessed by rec ord breaking crowd.

Added to the increasing football spirit which has been aroused in Bir- mingham during the past two weeks, comes cooler weather, and the att mosphere is really suggestive of the gridiron sport. Hot weather has pre- vented the football fever from at taining its greatest heights as yet, but with todays game should come the old-tim pep and enthusiasm, as the noisy crowds eagerly await the first kickoff this afternoon.
 Tigers Lack Tonnage
 Local fandom will witness an un- usual sight this afternoon, that of an Auburn team lining up against a Howard aggregation without the usual gross tonnage advantage that has al- ways gone with the Plainsmen in the past. This afternoon the teams will be very nearly evenly matched In the matter of weight. Both will average around 175 pounds.
 In the past, huge, ponderous lines :, men have been backed by weighty, brawny backs on the Tiger eleven. but this year. husky, shifty frwards, without the excess tonnage, now the way for fairly light and very fast backs, who should have enough in them to sweep around the majority of the ends they will go up against this season. Ed Shirling, Bullet" Jackson and one or two others possess all the line plunging ability the Plainsmen will need this year, while Shirey, Gibson, Scott and other lighter backs have speed to burn, and should tote the old pigskin for consistent gains around the Hanks and in off tackle rushes.
 Auburn Here Twice
 Auburn is playing in Birmingham only twice this season. After meet ing the Bulldogs today. they return to Auburn to practice, hurl back op- position as teams invade the campus. and to themselves sally forth in search of new territory to conquer. On November 12 the Plainsmen once more return to Birmingham. to meet the Centre college eleven. in one of the biggest games that both the Praying Colonels" and Tigers will have to play this season. It means much to each team alike.
 Auburn alumni In Birmingham are anxiously awaiting the game this aft ernoon. as 1t will give them g line o> what their favorites can do against team of high calibre. The Bulldogs while they are not expected by any one to win today, are expected to of- fer some real opposition to the Plains men,
 Twenty-three Tigers in Town
 Coach Mike Donahue and his Tiger clan, some 2S strong, arrived in Bir- mingham last night and put up at local hotel. Coach Mike will be with out the services of two of his best players this afternoon, as both Ollin- ger and Caton will be missing when Referee Bill Streit blows his whistle to start the game this afternoon. Ol- finger is out indefinitely with broken shoulder, while Caton is on the sick list with appendicitis. These injuries. while they cripple the Tiger squad have not wrecked Donahue's machine by any means for an Auburn substitute is usually only little less effective than the man he replaces.
 BulldOgx in Shape
 The Bulldogs are in fairly good shape for the game this afternoon. Only one or two men are out of the game with injuries, while hard prac- tice all week has toughened the squad considerably. Faulty tackling. which many Howard boosters think lost the
