 Football fans all over the south know Dad Gum" Hovater. Talty O. Conor. and Mullie LeNoir by name, if they have not had the opportunity of seeing them in action.
 It was interesting to observe these old timers look longingly on as the conflict progressed, and it was like wise interesting to speculate as to what was going on in their minds. For three years these veterans, to- gether with Riggs Stevenson, wore the Crimson jerseys and three times they carried Alabama perilously close to the s. I. A.

 The reason Joe Sewell and Riggs Stevenson were not on Denny Field Saturday afternoon requires no ex- planation

Chicks Ship for Cuba
 As the Giants and Yankees are chalking their cues for the post-season eye-opener, the Memphis Chicks, Southern league pennant winners and southern championship losers, are speeding to that dear Cuba, where they will put in a month or so in ball playing. The Chicks spent some time in Birmingham Tuesday. and two Alabama boys joined 'em here. One is Howard Camp, the heavy hitting right fielder of the Chick squad this year. The other is an outsider. Johnny Suggs. Johnny has left-handed his way through three seasons for the Atlanta Crackers. and still belongs to the Frankfurter out fit. However, he's a good buddy of Camps. and when Howard asked him to accompany the Chicks on the Cuban trip, Johnny up and packed his duds and got ready to ship. The Chicks are
