The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-22

By MARVIN MCCARTHY
 The chance of the Mountain Tigers
 has arrived. Since 1914 they have
 failed to dine on Crimson meat and
 the Tiger Is hungry. His growls
 should be fierce this afternoon.
 when Alabama and Sewanee meet in
 their eighteenth annual struggle for
 football supremacy.
 When the Crimsons and Tigers line
 up at o'clock this afternoon, it will
 be the first time in several years that
 the Tennessee Mountaineers are con-
 ceded an even chance to win. And,
 incidentally, 1t will be the first time since 1914 that the Tigers have won.
 In their r games already played, Sewanee has won 10 and Alabama five. two games being ties All 10 of Sewanees victories came before the Crimsons took on gridiron strength, and lately Alabama has be- l gun to catch up on the Tennesseans. This afternoons game is really as
 uncertain as 1t Is possible for a grid iron battle to be. Can an inexpe- i rienced. but very well coached team | coached outfit of experienced play
 CTS? Alabama's lineup is full of names of players who are playing
 their first varsity season with the Crimsons. while Sewanee, with sev- eral of its own veterans back, has l some new men who have had consid-
 erable football experience elsewhere. When Ken c. Scott went to Ala
 bama couple of seasons ago, foot I. ,rfNt
 | had a team waiting to be taken hold of. With Reggie Stevenson and oth- CTS playing their second year or so
 with Alabama at that time, 1t would seem that even a mediocre coach could take charge and put out a sue cessful team. Even at that, the splendid showing of the Crimsons S during his regime as football coach,
 and their decided improvement in every way has led the majority of grid experts to concede without a doubt that Ken c. Scott is one of the south's greatest coaches
 The showing of the Crimsons this
 season will prove Coach Scott's met tie, and from the early season rec ord made by the Crimsons it seems
 as if the little Alabama mentor has convinced even the most pessimis- tic.
 Coach Nicholson is serving his first season as head coach at Sewanee He is an experienced football man him self and should make good in splen- did style at Sewanee.
