DIXIE GAMES ARE.
 SHADED BY GREAT WIN OF CRIMSONS
Four More Teams Join Ranks of Defeated in Dixie
 Title Race

Atlanta, November 5.-Tulane, Georgia. Washington and Lee and Kentucky are gone rom the ranks of the teams undefeated by Dixie ri- vals, due to the prowess of North Car olina, Auburn. Virginia and Centre, but the brilliant ba etles that preced- ed their downfall were for the mo- ment forgotten tonight by those lovers of football who studied the ac- counts of yesterdays game in Phila- delphia, where Alabama's Crimson Tide swept down Pennsylvania. con querors of the Navy and hitherto un- defeated this year.
 Alabama outplayed Pennsylvania throughout" says an account of the match written some hours after the Red-clad warriors from Tuscaloosa had left the field. Alabama univer- sity, which probably has more base ball stars in the major leagues today than any other institution, has all ways sent forth fighting football team, if not always winning one, and this year it had appeared that fighting might be all that the Grim son could do in it's major battles
 Crimsons Fought
 Defeated by Texas and Georgia Tech, and facing team that had downed Sewanee, 2T to o, few weeks before, Alabama had tied with the Mountain Tigers, the Red-Clad lads forgot they were far from home, refused to admit they were heralded the losers. and fought. IL was not the blind unscientific rush that breaks helpless against skilled coach irg such as the Quakers possess, but generalship, smashing drives and deadly tackling-and 1t won to I.
 The same spirit enabled Virginia to defeat Washington and Lee, and carried North Carolina to victory over Tulane. marking the first time this year the Tulane GreenDacks had ever been scored upon, and showed itself to the desperate rally of Flor idas Gators against the overwhelm- ing Harvard attack, which despite Harvard's 24 to victory, showed the Gators probably the best team the Gainesville institution has turned out.
 The days play left only six major teams throughout the south unde- feated by southern rivals-Auburn, Georgia Tech. Centre, North Carolina, Vanderbilt and Virginia Military in- stitute. with only the last two un- beaten in any game this year.
 Fell Before Foes
 Along with Tulane and Washing ton and Lee, Georgia and Kentucky fell from the foremost pinnacle, for Auburn's powerful eleven smashed through Georgia for a to victory, and Kentucky went down. 27 to g. be- fore the spectacular Colonels from Centre. North Carolina's victory over Tulane was 19 to 12. and Vrgina's, which was regarded as one of the up- sets of the day was by the convinc- ing score of 22 to 6.
 Georgetown's loss to Holy Cross, 10 to O, was another gridiron result that was unexpected. but the remaining games ran more or less true to form, except for higher scores in some cases than expected. V. P. I. ran up decisive total of 21 to over Mary land; Sewanee, though outplaying South Carolina, could only get a '

 Other Casualties
 While I have mentioned the more serious casualties. I have said noth- ing of the rest of the bunch. Bull Wesley has his nose plastered to it's moorings with some adhesive tape; Baty who felt the crash of fists against his countenance in the same manner as if he had been in a box ing match, looks slightly the worse for wear. Clemons: Compton, who got his first hurt in his football ca- reer Saturday. and Shorty Cooper. the noble captain Of team that possesses one of the greatest lines in the country. all bear the marks of promiscuous slugging on the part of the dumfounded Pennsylvanians.
 Hovater played opposite frat brother and told him during the game; If you're the same kind of gentleman off the field as on it, l don't think I care to carry the ae- quaintance further"
 It has been conceded that one uf the main things instrumental in making 1t possible for the Tide to upset the dope and stand the football Wcrld on its ear was the fact that the coaches carried them to the Penn State-Navy game. They saw that af- fair, witnessed some of the most sloppy football ever perpetrated on an innocent public. and went away satisfied they could improve on the eastern quality of gridironing if the Penn-Nayy game was any criterion. Why They Won
 TOO often Dixie team invades the east with the thought that they are to be sent against supermen. They have listened to earnestly imagina tive yarns of the wizardry of the eastern coaches, and the miracles performed by gridiron stars reared fin the east.
 Witnessing rather mediocre per- formance in Washington they pushed on to Philadelphia, confident that
 they could give the Heismanites a battle. The feeling of pessimism
 which had clung to them for a greater part of the trip disappeared and when they appeared on the field saturday they ran out briskly and exhibited a pep and virilty which made hit with the spectators.
 So, they're going back to Here We Rest, happy over the fruitful con quest, overjoyed by the fact that there was nothing flukey or acci 1 dental about their win. No recoverei | fumbles, no gift stuff and they fought for every inch of ground they got. they outplayed the customers at every stage and in every department of the game They made seven first downs to Penn's four; they gained total yardage of 190 yards to Penn's 110; their line was more im- rregnahie than Penn's; their back s more powerful on the offensive. 1t was cleancut, well earned victory that will live in the memories of Alabama supporters as long as they themselves live

Walker County Is
 Winner m Battle
 With Carbon Hill

Jasper November 5.-(Special) - Coach McEane's Vikings of Walker county, overwhelmed the team from Carbon Hill High by the score of 52 to 0. The game was played on Cran- ford field before a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters. The entire scrub team was used during most of the game, and the manner in which they performed was revelation to some of the spectators. The vik- ings' famous pony backfield," con- sisting of Woods, Legg, Smith and Bruce. carried the ball down the field like old-timers.
 The evisitors were able to register only one first down, and that came early in the first quarter. On the other hand, the Vikings were able to gain at will, being forced to kick only once Eight passes were at tempted by the locals, six of which were successful. Two intercepted passes, one by Lo1lar and the other by Plyler resulted in touchdowns for the Vikings.
 Negotiations are on with Fayette for a game with the crack Fayette County High school aggregation of chat place. The wires have been hot with telegrams to and from the two places in 1n effort to arrange d game. Walker offered to play on No- vember IT but the Fayette manager replied that game with Talladega would be played on that date. Later another telegram came from Fayette offering to come on November "A for $40o guarantee above expenses, or to play Walker there at same proposition. Coach McLane wired a final offer to play in Jasper Novem- Der 24. 60-40 basis, expenses guar anteed. This is considered a fair proposition, since Fayette is the chal- longing team and not the Vikings.

He claims to have missed only one pick in all his career as a dope ster. Here's what Connolly says about tonight's fight:

be the first month since the open
ing OF the war in which such a
situation has existed. Those who
are pessimistiCally inclined are dis
posed TO argue, that with our tariff
as II stands we cannot expect the
large import volume to continue,
that being due TO a temporary rush
Of goods designed to anticipate the
new rates of duty, while on the
ether nand the pronounced falling
off in the amount of foreign
financing conducted in this country
shows clearly that the end Of our
large export sales on credit is In
sight.
The effect of this curtailment OF
exports upon certain range OF
industries. especially incl Iding iron
and steel, is obvious. On the other
hand, il is hard to see how Europe
can help obtaining from us about
the same amount of copper. cotton
and foodstuffs as heretofore. Still
she must find some way to repay for
necessary raw materials, and the
restrictions of our trade will
obviously tend to keep her means
OF settlement with us to a mini
mum. Our present policy is certain

| True, we can very well take care
of most of our own needs both for
manufactures and consumption re
quirements of every kind. The

only country in the world which

ly a smaller amount of importa
tions from abroad would mean a
necessarily larger production of our

for argument in this direction, hut

fact that in most of our basis In.

the oustide public since Tuesday

past several weeks has put the
market into very much better
shape, but II does not seem prob
able that anything approaching a

the immediate future. II trade In
its different branches develops as

BUSINESS IS DULL
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Expected Fall Improvement in
English Industries Fails to
MateriaIize.

The expected autumn improve
ment i'm British industries has not
been realized, says Commercial
Attache Tower in a cable to the De-
partment of Commerce, and pros
poets for the remainder of the year
are that only slight further ex-
pansion in certain lines is possible.
The general busln. IS situation has
been dominated largely by the
domestic political developments and
depreciation of Continental ex'
changes. The industry and trade Of
the country during October, how
ever, showed less than expected
the effects of the present political
campaign. Certain lines, such as
iron and steel. were variable on az.
count of renewed competition. These
interests have recommended agita'
ZION for an early reduction of freight
rates TO "a level so per cent above
iyl4 rates. Home demand shows
Improvement. Export business holds
up satisfactorily. The sheet and tin
plate markets were somewhat
strengthened by higher prices. The
tin and spelter lines became some
what unsteady on account of com.
petion, but this condition is regarded
DIS only leIHpoidIy.
The textile market has not shown
the expected reaction to higher
prices. The buying of raw mate
rials, American cotton excepted, has
been on the increase. The wool in
dustries are somewhat doubtful about
the final effect of stiffer prices in
their lines and the continental ten.
dency to demand only finer qualities
has caused uneasiness.
The British long ton output of coal
for the week ended October 81 was
5.355 ,O0O--the largest on record dur.
ing the past three years. Coal prices
remained firm and export demand
good. Anxiety is felt over the failure
of the national coal board to adjust
the differences between the miners
and owners, and the labor situation
at the coal mines is bad.

ber 20 s,ood at l,S21 500, as against

The shipyard workers ballot failed
to give the necessary majority
against a wage cut. The proposals
were that the remaining 10 shillings

ballot it is evident that labor in the
shipyards is not over-anxious to
strike, for the ballot stands 7,14S for
acceptance of the proposed reduction,
24,267 for resistance by strike, and
57,S24 for further negotiations. Ne

will be had.
