me SFeae day IS heE9.
Tens of thousands of red blooded
American men and women awoke this
morning with the Jingle of anticipa-
ton, the thrill of expectancy, and the
hope that their favorite team would
win.
The biggest games in the greatest
American sport are being played in
and northern sections of America. The
most remote hooks of the continent
are cheering their teams.
Thanksgiving Days because of its
meaning TO the citizens of America, is
the logical day for the greatest of all
celebrations.
Competition and rivalry of the keen
est kind was seen on countless grid
irons and athletic fields today.
Lawrence was holding a capacity
crowd at noon today. The cold weather
seemingly did not daunt the thousands
of fans who waited expectantly in
sorority and fraternity houses for the
opening of the great contest in the new
stadium.
1t was estimated by officials at Law
renee today that the crowd would ex-
coed the 10000 mark, undoubtedly the
largest crowd ever assembled in the
state for an athletic contest.
The erection of temporary bleachers
at the last minute attests mutely to the
record-breaking attendance.
At 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon the
two teams will take the field, and the
cheering thousands will begin their
joyous roofing.
oh, it will be a great day.
The Kansas conference. not satisfied
with good games all season, IS offering
to fans over the state some OF the best
bills of the season on the gridiron.
The contest which the fans would
agree was the best, the College OF

 $1,O0O FOR SEM|-
 CENTENNIAL FUND
Officials State Majority of Stock Now Owned in the U. S., Principally in
 Alabama

Only the absence of the president, Thomas w. Martin, in New York, prevented the Alabama Power com pany from being one of the first to subscribe $1 900 to the fund for the semi-centennial, judging by the promptness with which the request of Chairman Erskine Ramsay was answered as soon as the letter reached MT. Martin, say members of the committee.
 Contrary to the belief of many, the Alabama Power Co, is an Ala bama corporation, formed and pro- noted by Alabama men, It's power comes from Alabamas rivers, it's customers are all located in this state and most of it's stockholders are Alabama citizens. It's president and most os it's officers as well as practically all its 500 employees are natives of this state.
 Stock Owned Here
 Colonel W. r. Lay, of Gadsden and a group of his associates organized the Alabama Power company in 1906. Efforts to raise the necessary capi- tai for the development of the power failed in Alabama, the south, New York, and finally, Colonel James Mitchell became interested and fi- nanced the development in England. However. during the war. these se- curities came back to the United States and are now held by people all over the country, many of them Alabamaians. Recently several thousand Alabama people have be- come stockholders, giving to this state large na jority of the stock holders.
 Work on Lock 12, the chief source of power at present, was begun in 1912 and was finished in 1914 creat- ing 109,000 horse power. This de- velopment with the extensions all over Alabama and the properties ac- quired and operated represent an ,eX- penditure of approximately s45.000,- 900, The chief reserve steam plant is located at Gorgas on the Warrior river and supplies the bulk of the power during low water. Another reserve plant IS at GauSQcn,
 $S,OOO,0OO Improvement
 Work has already been started on a new development at Duncan's riff file on the Coosa known as Mitchell Dam which will cost about sS,000,0o0.
 The president of the company is Thomas W. Martin, native of Ala bama and the son of the late W. l.. Martin, former speaker of the House of Representatives and for many years prominent in law and politics. Mr. Martin is also general counsel. He went with the company in 1912 as general counsel ana was elected vice president in 1916. He became president and general counsel fol- lowing the death of Colonel James Mitchell in 1920.
 w. N Walmsley is vice president and general manager and has been with the organization for number of years. Colonel R. A. Mitchell, Of Gadsden, is the other vice president and MT. Martin, MT. Walmsley and Colonel Mitchell are all members Of the board of directors.
