BULLDOGS GIVEN HARD WORKOUTS
 FOR NEXT BATTLE
Injuries Cause Shifts in Bull
 dog Line -Up-Frank Norris at End

Coach Cope finds himself with the biggest asaortment of cripples at this time of the year than he has come out of a game with before. For this reason. workouts of tho week have been confined to efforts of se- curing q combination that will serve the purpose.
 Bob Shelton, the fiashy litle hard. Hitting end, is the main casualty In sll probability, and wil1 be out of the game for couple of weeks. His Flace at end Is being clogged by Frank Norris, heretofore halfbacl;. who early In the season proved to be one of the Bulldogs defensive stars. This is the second time that Coaches Cope and Dobbins have been com pelled to fix the Hanks with half- backs as Dan Gaylord has just had two weeks experience at an end. .Jess Lackey is the only other mar to be out, but his place at half will be capably filled in Saturdays game by Mccarthy, good little ground grainer.
 Ham Stevens work at directing the team when he was sent In in the last few minutes of play in the Union game last Saturday, has caused Coach Cope to give another candidate try out at quarterback. Ham will start as the signal caller in Saturdays game with the Mobilians
 Forwards Called Back
 The team that started in last Sat urday's melee with Union university had only been playing together for two days previous to the game. Boiler Afford and Toby Stubbs having been jerked back from the line to put weight and drive into the back field. The move seems to be for the better. as this weeks practice ad- yances along, a Coach Cope has had more opportunity of teaching the two boys to adjust themselves to the backfield. Previous to Saturdays game, Afford had spent three years in the Bulldog line. and Toby Stubbs had served four years in a high school line and one year in the Bull- 9dcg line.
 shift For the Best
 This shift of these two heavies has rot injured the defense of the team any. and surely has helped the of Fense. Previous to the change, Boiler Afford had been backing up the line on the defense, so that no change has been noted in his position. while Fat Thomas has taken Toby Stubbs' place at guard. Fat is a man of two years experience on the Bulldog team, and this being his last year he has given some of his best work this year. some work that is on par with that of Stubbs, so that in every way 1t can be seen that the shift of these two linesmen to the backfield will be very advantageous as soon as the two can accustom sthemselves to the change. and in this weeks practices, they have rapidly done so.
 The Bulldogs have two more after moons to prepare for the tilt with Spring Hill Saturday. as they entrain sfor the gulf city Friday morning. The Hillians this year have put out a very strong team, giving some of the larger schools which they have been up against fits.
 On account of the injuries suffered by the Bulldog squad, only IT players will be taken to Mobile, as Coach nCope is not taking any chances with his team two weeks before the big flight of the year.

Hurry Up" Yost, for 22 years
 the coach of the University of
 Michigan football team and now
 also director of Intercollegiate
 Athletics at the college, is known
 wherever football Is played. as
 lover of clean sport. He is also
 a prominent business man of
 Nashville, Tenn, whero he is
 director of many banks and in-
 dustrial corporations.
 While do not wish to be quoted as critlzlng the colleges that still have four year playing rules, l do believe that 1t would be better for the game In general if the men were allowed to play varsity football for three seasons. And believe that the time is very nearly at hand when all colleges will require one years residence before they will al- low men to play on their teams.
 The day of the tramp athlete is about over. There was time when the only requirements needed to make a man eligible for some of the teams was that he live on the camp us. Often times men played three or four years on one college team and then went to another college for the same period of time Money was spent freely In trying to get players In one college to switch to another.
 They tell good story on one we'll known coach, of 20 years ago whose name for obvious reasons I shall keep to myself. Ills team was be- ing trimmed. Several of his best men were hurt and had to retire. and the substitutes were getting scarce Finally, the captain yelled to him that the right half had been hurt and would have to leave the game. The coach looked up and down the bench His men were either on the field or injured beyond repair. With a groan of despair he muttered:
 Oh. H--l. I guess I'll have to use one of the students'
 No Freshman on Varsity
 But to return to the question of intercollegiate football. l do be- lieve that there should be more equality of competition. It is unfair soi two colleges to meet who have different rules for their eligibility committee to work with. It is also unfair for one college to play their freshmen on the varsity team while the other does not It is likewise unfair for one college to allow it's men to have more time for practice than do others.
 Then too, take the case of opposing teams varying in the number or games played during a season. A football team with an eleven game schedule has an advantage over 50 per cent in experience over teams with seven game schedule, and, if on the same team freshmen are permitted to play, the advantage is ever 100 per cent, since the total number of games engaged in by one player would be Al. while on the other only 21 No anniversary should be permitted or should want any of these advantages. ' Uniform rules and equality of competition are essential to the future standing of college athletics and they should exist between all contestants.
 Against Long Trips
 One of the greatest meances to the development of the sport is the tendency on the part of some instiu- tions to have too many games and to take too much time away from home. Long trips require the stu dents to be absent from classes for too long a period and 1t is unfair to rass one man for attending two classes a week while his classmates have to be present at three.

Atlanta Official to
 Referee Bout at the
 B. A. ( on Nou. "

Birmingham A. C. officials state the decision at the end of the Claude Wilson, Tim Opowd boxing match to take place at the local athletic club on the night of November IT, the eve of the Auburn Centre foot ball game.
 Bill Kaliska of Atlanta. known as one of the most impartial referees in the south. will be brought over to officiate at the Wilson O dowd fight, and B. A. c. officials state that, in case Wilson wins, there can be no hue and cry of nome town" referee giving him the fight. Says Roy Cohen, chairman of the boxing com mittee at the B A. c.
 We have just as capable and just as fair minded referees in Birming- ham as Kaliska In fact, we have always been given 100 per cent ser vice at all our fights lately. How ever, { to prevent the possibility of any one crying home town referee, we are bringing Kalisla over.
 Claude Wilson, despite the fact that he will have to give away around six or eight pounds in his bout with O'Dowd, is out to avenge the beating the Atlantian gave him some time ago. O'Dowd, as southern bamtamweight champion, will be de- lending his title, and O'Dowd will weigh in several pounds above the flyweight limit.
 B. A. c. officials are expecting the greatest crowd of all at this bout, as the football crowds. here to wit ness the AuburnCentre game are expected to swell attendance at the bout

By T. N. PRIvETTE. JR.

November 7.-The next two weeks will be the hardest on the fCentre schedule. as they face Wash Eington and Lee in Louisville on Sat iurday, and the following week they twill meet the mighty Auburn aggre- igation, which triumphed over Georgia Hast Saturday, in Birmingham.
 \ Last year the Colonels triumphed lover the Auburn team by the score of i21-0, but this does not tell the tale for several times Auburn held them flor downs when they were in strik- ling. distance of the goal. Auburn is jrated as having one of the fastest and fbest teams in Dixie this year. and itheH are getting the respect of the jColonels from every angle. They are ireturning practically all of their last Iyear's stars, and this year 1t will |lbe a~battle royal when the two un- Eldefeated teams clash, probably for 1.-the southern championship.
 x The Centre team is in excellent scondition, and unless they are in
 jured pretty bad by the Washington land Lee Generals, they will present ifhe same lineup that faced Harvard iaeainst Auburn.

PLATNSNEN MEET TULANE GREENIES IN NEXT BATTLE
Ford and Gibson Unable to Re- port For Limbering Up

BY EMMETT sIzEMoRB

Auburn November 7.-tSpecial)- scrimmaging was again the order of the day yesterday afternoon on Drake field when the Tiger coaches lined up their varsity crew that did not have chance to participate in the fracas with the Georgia Bulldog saturday. against the scrub aggresa- ton.
 Fer more than an hour the second string line, on which was hinged the pony backs, carried the fight into the territory defended by the gray Jerseyed Pitts men. With Ed Allen filling the quarterback posi- tfon. Harrison and Peterson ct halves, and Knapp at full, the second stringers, who kept possession of the ball throughout the scrimmage pe- rie d. found little trouble in making substantial gains over their less. experienced opponents.
 Over in another corner of the rect angular field were the regulars doing light signal work in an effort to get rid of the kinked muscles and bruises received in the Bulldog scrap last week end.
 Two Regulars Out
 nat GeoTSla game. ildiu pub lohs Two familiar faces cf stellar backs did not appear among the battle- scared of last Saturdays conflict.

am also absolutely opposed to post season games. I think that the football season should close on the last Saturday In November, Games on the Pacific coast and in the Orient, for Eastern teams after the regular season, will gradually de- velop into a competitive race across the continent. As soon as one univer- sity goes, another wants to follow. Where will 1t stop7 Heaven only knows. But one thing Is certain, unless some active force starts to check this tendency to go to the schools will be wanting to make the trip.
 Against Pro. Games
 Of course, I do not favor pro- fessional football. 1t has a very bad influence upon the college play CT. It tends to make him dissatisfied to play the game for it's own sake. Professional football robs the great American game of many of It's greatest character building qualities. The ideas of generous service. loy- atty, sacrifice and whole hearted de- votion to a cause are taken away and tho game Is robbed of the ex- hiliarating inspiration of achieve ment, merely for achievement
 I have been asked what I think of the changes in the rules for the current season. Well. I'll tell you. In the first place I am not wild about thls "try for a point" business. l will admit that 1t is an improve ment over the old goal after touch- down, but I think that 1t would have been better to have had the extra point eliminated entirely. No one hates tie games more than l do but 1 don't like to see them decided by one play either.
 As far as new rules for substitu- tion go, I think that the new rules gives the coach much more leeway than did the old one. According to the old rules man had to wait until the start of a new period before go- ing back into the game. Under pre- sent conditions, after the first half is over man can go into the game at any time and it does not have to be at the start of quarter.
 I suppose it is true that most of the old timers really liked the old fashioned game much better than the new one, but as far as real worth IS concerned 1 think the open game is better for the sport in general. It makes it much easier for those who watch the game and then, too, it puts an element or uncertainty Into the contest that was not present in the old style of play.
 Game Has Changed
 For examples: In former days Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Pennsyl- vania, Chicago, Michigan and several other teams always out-classed their early season rivals. The smaller col leges did not have a chance and they only served as punching bags to box CTS who are trying to get into shape for the big contest. However, with the development of the open play, the forward pass, and the lateral pass. a team with a clever passer and good pair of ends is always dangerous and may at any time run through the opposition for a touchdown. In the old days Centre would never have been able to come to Cambridge and defeat, Harvard as she did last sea son. but under the present condi- tions 1t is a thing likely to happen to any big college.

ALBERTVILLE AGGIES

WEIGHT BEATSLOUISIANA
 SKATERS, 25 TOO

New York, November 7.-Rutger's heavyweight eleven ran through the Louisiana State university team here this afternoon in the final periods, winning 25 to 0.
 The New Brunswick college was represented by substitutes in the first period, and Louisiana outplayed the notherners. When Coach Hanford be- gan to send in the varsity regulars in relays of from three to six at a time, the situation changed quickly.
 Louisiana, despite it's plueky and hard line defense, was unable to hold Rutgers. which ploughed through steadily, with an occasional forward pass injected to keep Louisiana's sec- ondary defense from coming In to brace the. line. Although outplayed, the visitors showed some excellent. tackling and end-running, especially by Ha1fbaek Helm, who was an out standing figure. both on offense and defense. Maloney was the star for Rutgers, his forward passing and S0 yard run for a touchdown after catching a punt being the thrilling
 
 features of an otherwise drab game, played in mist and rain. Numerous penalties were imposed on both teams, the total on both teams regating over 200 yards. The Lineup:

LAUREL GROWING
Population of Mississippi Town Esti-
 mated at 16,000

Laurel, Miss. November 7.-tSpe- cial )-The present population of Laurel is estimated conservatively at 16.oo0. This is gain of nearly 5000 since the federal census of 1920. Laurers ratio of growth between the last two federal censuses was 54 per cent. Jackson had an increase of IA per cent and vicksburg .O2 per cent Meridian barely held its own.
 The same census showed that Laurel had twice as much money in- vested in manufacturing as either Meridian, Jackson aor Vicksburg. and nearly twice as many men on its in- dustrial pay rolls. In the matter of agricultural resources, Laurel com pares favorably with either of the three cities.

 Goodbye, Scotty
 Ken Scott is leaving Alabama. We hate to see Scotty going. Hes fourth estater, is Scotty, and he was our one best bet to point to with pride, as real proof that newspaper men had football brains. Then, too, there's a per- sonal regret that Scotty is pull ing stakes. We never knew what fine fellow personally he was until We came in contact with him on the trip to Pennsylvania. Alabama had a wealth of foot fall material this year. Scotty came down with an abundance of enthusiasm and took charge. The team got away to rotten start. So did Scotty from a health standpoint. His system collapsed. and apparently the university football machine collapsed with 1t. A loss to Tech. @ loss to Texas and a tie with Sewanee started the anvil chorus off on a meddle- some medley Many were yelling for Scotty's scalp.
 Under the wave of criticism Ken grinned and bore it. He marched on Philadelphia with his forces. He put to rout the enemy. Tho world a 1rf1 chorus was drowned out by re- yerberant cheers. Scotty had be- come a hero overnight.
 And, then he resignedi
 That is, his resignation had been in effect since October 6, and he stuck by his original de- eision.
 On the strength of that victory at Philadelphia, Scotty has re- ceived three offers. He will re- ceive many more. His earning power has been increased by that one great victory. and it would really be bad business judgment if he failed to take advantage of it.

 The Panther scrubs remain yet un- defeated having won three games and tied one. and the game Friday will probably prove the biggest test of their season.

 Heisman May Get Can
 1rs VAA q few paragraphs above, it might have been brought out that rumor is current in Philadelphia that he may lose his job as coach of Pennsylvania, by virtue of Sat urday's defeat at the hands of Alabama. Life has by no means been a bed of roses, since Heis- man pulled stakes at Atlanta and cast his lot with the Quakers.
 A man, pretty well yersed in athletics around the Pennsylvania metropolis. told me that Heisman had many enemies there. They had just about got his head when the Navy game happened along and Pennsylvania beat the Navy. That shot his stock upward, and it looked like a new contract.
 Then came the Alabamians, un- heralded, but by no means un- stung. The Crimson Tide had been tied by Sewanee. team that had been beaten by Pennsylvania 20 to 0. The Tide had also been stung by the Yellow Jackets at Tech, and gored by the Long, horns down in Texas. It looked like Penn would come in under blankets. When Alabama sprung her big surprise hammers were pulled from the walls in Phila- delphia, the guillotine was re- roned, and Heisman's enemies started out after his head once more.
