Aggies Hope to Redeem Poor Season by Beat
 ing 'Bama

Starkville, Mss, november 2s.-l Special. )-The Mississippi Aggies ran through their final workout of the season this afternoon and to- morrow morning they will entrain for Birmingham, for their annual game with the University of Ala bama. Despite several reverses this season, hopeful feeling pervades the Maroons camp that they will be able to upset the dope and wind up the season with victory over the Crimson Tide. Such a result would make the season a success for A.. and M, regardless of the outcome of the other games on the schedule. and it is with this in mind that the Aggie squad is going to Birmingham.
 Coach Noble and Assistant Coaches Oftie and Hayes kept the squad busy Monday and Tuesday drilling them in the plays that will be used against Alabama and in giving them detailed instructions as to the best methods to be used in checking the Crimson offense. All of the men came out of the Drake game in good shape except Luckett, who received a severe leg bruise, but this is not expected to keep him out of Thursdays game. Lane, who played brilliantly at end early in the season. has fully re- covered from his injuries and Coach Noble is planning to use him and Pete" Noble at the wing positions. With these two players to guard the Hanks, the Maroons will have the best defense against end running that they have had this season. Both Lane and Noble are heavy enough 10 handle defensive tackles effectively. Lane is especially good at this and is strong defensive player as well.
 In the last two games the Ma- rooms have shown Ds. aerial attack. built around Mc- Conan, the giant halfback whom Noble has put back at his old job of calling signals. In McGowan, the offensive players in the game. Big Mas weighs 1s0 pounds. He bucks the line, runs the ends does the bunting and plays kicking for his team, and those who have seen him play declare that he is the best for ward passer in the south.
 Against the champion Drake uni versity eleven last Saturday, MeC Gowan completed pass after pass. outclassed, and unable to get a gain against the strong Drake defense by straight football. the Maroons re- sorted to an aerial attack and. by ulItfEiAi6 NhtoOWdliS uHCdHHV dDlllIy to hurl perfect forward passes into the arms of his teammates, went down the field. They scored one touchdown and three other times marched almost the length of the field by means of forward passes. It was their success at this method of attack which gives life to hopes of pulling out victory over the Crimson Tide Thursday at Redwood park. Any team which can handle the forward passing successfully is a dangerous. opponent, and the Ma rooms are determined to overlook nothing that will help in wrestling victory from their greatest rivals.
 Six Veterans Finish
 Six members of the Mississippi X. and NJ. squad will bring their foot ball careers to a close in the Ala bama game-Captain Steve Blair, center; Jones, guard: Mott. tackle. and McGowan, Clark and Saunders, backs. in Captain Blair, the Ma rooms have 8 great leader, a de- pendable and hard working center, who knows the game thoroughly, and who is a veteran in experience, this being his third season on the varsity besides year of S. A. T. c. football
 Clark is playing his fourth year. Although one of the lightest backs in the south, his speed and fighting spirit won him a place on the var sity his freshman year. and, although he has been handicapped frequently by injuries, he has been valuable player on the Maroon squad for the past three seasons, alternating with Luckett and Cameron, two other flashy broken field runners. This trio has been responsible for many long runs in every game the Ma rooms played this season.
 Last year it will be remembered that Cameron's 55-yard return of a punt through the whole Alabama team gave the Maroons a touchdown that caused the game to result in tie. '-'tss
 Cameron has been slow in rounding into form this year on account of attacks of malaria but his two bril- liant 4o-yard dashes against Drake last Saturday indicates that he has hit his stride and that he is likely to prove a dangerous runner when ever he takes the ball.
