By SELL. ROPER Head Coach, Princeton University

By "BILL- ROPER Head Coach, Princeton University There has been a great deal writ ten on the subject of intersectional games. The best football brains in the country seem to be about equally
 divided on the subject. Personally,
 think that intersectional games do
 great deal of good, providing that they are not held too often. In the first place the intersectional game
 creates national interest out Of what has been sectional interest be- fore hand. To my way of thinking any sport that encourages a na- tional interest in athletics, all other things being equal should be en- couraged. This the intersectional game seems to do and as long IS this interest is & healthy one l say by all means let us have the iutersec tional game.
 , Danger of Trips
 However, there is one danger that must not be lost sight of in con nection with this phase of football; i; the danger of some teams degenerat- ing into nothing more than travelling football squads, In view of this fact, l am opposed to the long trip to the Pacific coast. Such a trip from my point of view. proves to be
 more harmful than anything else. It
 takes the students away from the campus for too long a period of
 time and it serves to disorganize the academic regulations of the several 1 faculties.
 Fnvors "Try-For-Point, I believe that the present try-for- 1 point system is much better than the | old play of the goal after the touch l down. From all that I can hear this :, latest is meeting with great ap- | proval from coaches, players. and l football followers in general and l am sure that when the rules com I mittee meets this winter there will be l no changes made in this phase of the game. It has proved success and | it should be allowed to remain. | Many reasons have been advanced for the popularity of this rule and {, probably all of these reasons in some way effect the general attitude, but | to my mind the greatest reason of l all is the fact that the extra point is | no longer the effort of a single man. 1 The entire team is engaged in the l play and as a team effort it is much | fairer than when the result of a game might hinge upon the result of | one individuals effort.
 Game Has Improved
 To my mind there is no comparison | between football of twenty years ago 1 and the game of the present day. | Modern football, which may be dated 1 from the first liberal use of the | forward pass, is so far superior to | the old style of play that judging | the relative merits of the two sys- ] tems is not needed. The benefits or 1 the present game are most obvious l even to those who give football only l very little of their attention. The open has made football clean CT. There is practically no slugging | clipping from behind, kicking and | rough-house tactics in general at the l present time. Once in long while ] a team will be found that still per | sists in following these tactics but l the occasion is rare one and the team in question loses it's standing 1 among the rest of college football l players.
 Those who have the best interest l of the game at heart realize that

Junior Panthers to
 Meet Shades-Cahaba

Simpson High schools Junior Partners are down at another week of drill in preparation for their game with Shades -Cahaba school eleven Friday afternoon on the Shades Cahaba field.
 The Techsters are far from ideal form this week following their hard loss to Jefferson County last Fri day in Munger bowl. to 6. Red Hickman is still on the injured list and will probably see service in only small part of the game Friday.
 Coach Slim Neese sent the Junior Partners through another day Of hard toll yesterday in preparation for the game Friday. which is expected to be no setup by the Cubs.
 With the Purple Tornado facing two other strenuous teams before the season closes on Thanksgiving Day. things are far from favorable at Simpson. Following the game this eek-end, the strong Marbury High school eleven will dock in Munger bowl and take on the Tech outfit on the eve of the Birmingham Southern Howard game.

 Different story This Year
 Centre will find in Auburn this year stronger team than the faction that bowed before her last year. The Praying Colonels will also find team possessing more confidence In 1921 the Tigers did not invade the east. Just wee bit of stage fright marked the first few minutes of play against the Danvilites, who had been heralded as an aggre- gation of super-men. Shirllng and Shirey were ganged in the early part of the game. Minus these two sterling backs Auburn was rather helpless,
 This year the Plainsmcn gained
 
 showing in the east against the Army. They also have a victory over Georgia this year to boost their morale. This was lacking in 1921. With greater team by far. team more full of con fidence, a team possessing a Ford that was not in the back field last year, Auburn's chances of copping are far greater.
 The men who wager will prob ably be giving Auburn seven points, but it's a cinch they won't go beyond that figure in drumming up customers to take the long end of the betting.

Hines, "midfielder" for the Provi- dence baseball club of the old Ma tional league in the '70's, and for the Washington club in the early sos. was arrested tonight on pickpocket charge. He is said to be the first major league player to make triple play unassisted--on May 8, 1878, when with the Providence club-and the record is declared to have been ecualled only once since in major league games. He was released un- der bond of S1,000.

 Too Scared to Fight
 Charlie Burton was over from the metropolis of Walker--Jasper yesterday. According to Charlie the Walker County Vikings have played such powerful football this season that they've played themselves plum out of sched- ule. The rip-snorting Walker Counuans ran over the enemy in such roughshod fashion that some of the clubs on the fag-end of the schedule applied the foot work theory and ran right out of scheduled games.
 As a consequence the Vikings must stage shadow football. or remain idle. They are to take on the Sidney Lanier crew in Montgomery in Turkey Day battle, however, to wind up the campaign, and the present plan is to run special train from Jasper to the scene of battle. They're football mad over in Walker.

1 GRIM SONS MEET KENTUCKY GRID. TEAM SATURDAY
Squad in Good Shape For Battle With Wildcats at
 Lexington

University, November 1t.-(Spe- cial.)-The Crimson Warriors are cnce more hard at work, in prepar- stion for their coming tilt with the Kentucky Wildcats. at Lexington Saturday. The team was given an off day Saturday to allow them one day for much needed rest, and they have set to with determination to get in readiness for the Wildcats.
 Every man on the squad reported to practice, and all seem to ba in good shape from their last battle, with the exception of Oliver. "Coun- try" was the only man taken out of the game last Friday because of injury, and it would have been pos- sible for him to have stayed in, but Coach Scott was not willing to take a chance with his ace. Oliver has rot been able to play a full game since the Georgia Tech battle, when he sustained an injury which has been slow. in healing.
 Racks In shape
 Bartlett, Hubert, Baty and Me Cartee seem to have hit their stride in the backfield, and will cause the
  with their line plunging. Bartletts generalship in the last few games has been one of the. big factors in the teams. success, and his broken field running has been responsible for many of the Crimson's touch downs.
 The line has been held intact since their play against Penn. and it is likely that they will start the same as in the last two games. With Clemens and Newton at ends; Cap tain Cooper and Hovarter, tackles; Wesley and Compton. guards, and Propst at center, Alabama offers a combination of huskies that have held their own against all opposition this year.
 TavOrites Switch
 Until the last two games. when 1t appears that Bama has found her self, the Wildcats were very much favored, but with the last two vic- tories. the dope bucket is taking on few more dents. and the teams are entering the conflict on about even footing. The fact that the Wildcats will be playing on home soil is mak- ing then, the favorites by a very thin margin.
 The Thin Red line will enter the game. keyed up as they were against Pennsylvania. There is no slack or overconfidence on the squad due to their miraculus achievement of de- featiug Pennsylvania, but the victory has instilled new fighting spirit into the men, and they are going to Lexington with the sole purpose of giving ther all in an endeavor to stop the Wildcats.
