PROBABLE LINE-uPs

Today Birmingham streets will flow with streamers of gold and black and crimson and white, as students, | players and adherents of the Wander bile and Alabama grid elevens take possession of the town. This after noon at 2:30 o'clock the football en- thusiasm of these throngs of pastim- CTS will reach It's climax. when the pigskin is booted far back into the l territory of one eleven by it's oppo- nent. The game will then be official | ly on, and local fandom will settle more comfortably in it's seat to wit ness this struggle between the old rivals.
 Dan McGugin, grand old man ot Vanderbilt football. arrived with two Pullman loads of huskies yesterday, and the Commodores have become well accustomed to the scene of their battle by now. A very large squad accompanied the Commodore coach to Birmingham, and there Is no lack ot first-class material to send Tn at any critical moment this afternoon.
 Wade and Kuhn Out
 Two injured ones, and, by the way, two of the most valuable men to the whole squad. will not be able to start the game this afternoon. They are Capt Pink Wade, guard, and Doc Kuhn, quarterback, who developed an injury at the last moment. Kuhn will probably get into the game later. however
 After the game tomorrow the Com modores will be entertained by local Vanderbilt alumni in banquet at the Southern club.
 The Crimsons arrive here this morning. The squad Is in excellent shape. with the exception of Baty. quarterback who will be unable to start tho game.
 Coach Ken c. Scott is said to havo been working his team hard this week. and Is expected to uncork a bunch of new plays against the Com mcdores this afternoon.
 Students Coming
 Both institutions will be well rep resented by their student bodies. Ala bama will bring some 1000 packers and students along. while about 200 representatives of Vanderbilt will ar rive on an early train this morning.
 Alabama and Vanderbilt have met five times in the past, the Commo- dores coming off yictors in four of the clashes while the Crimsons have won one.
 FOT the past Coupic Oi ythi AAo- bama has been favorite to defeat Vanderbilt. In 1919, Josh Cody. all- American tackle, defeated the Grim sons almost single handed, but last year, in 1920. the Crimsons came into their own and trounced the Commo- dores for the first time since the two schools have been meeting on the gridiron.
 Commodores Favorites
 This year the dope seems to be pointing to Commodore victory. with the Crimsons expected to put up hard fight
 Coach Scott has one of the most inexperienced outfits to ever repre- sent the state institution, and his eleven thus far has lacked that all important quality so needed in big game. boise The Crimsons are i'm proving as the season progresses. and may do something unexpected this afternoon.
 Locals on Team
 There are several local boys on the squad at Alabama Tom Newton, at end, and Max Rosenfeld at halfback, are sure to start this afternoon, while W. c. Baty, varsity quarterback. may get in the game. but is not expected to start. on account of injuries. Poco Little and Speedy Keith of Jefferson County High school d couple of years ago, stand d good chance of either starting or getting in the fracas later on.
 Advance sale of tickets for this game have been entirely up to expec- tations, and prospects are for rec ord-breaking crowd this afternoon. Good football weather has been the order of the day the latter part of the week, and football pep should abound this afternoon.
