The game, which will be played at Monroe Park, is exciting no little interest and the largest crowd ever te witness gridiron contest in Mobile is the prediction made by alumni of both institutions.
 Last year, the first time that Thanksgiving games were really thought of as serious matter by Mobilians. a record attendance was recorded, there being over 5000 peo- pie to pass through the turnstiles tt' see Spring Hill attempt to get Goat" HaIe's goat. This year efforts of those in charge of arrangements for the game have been redoubled and it is hoped that with the interest which Mobilians are beginning to dis play in the winter classic the at- tendance will run several thousand above last years mark.
 Mississippi college, from reports being circulated about by their sup porters, are putting up no mean ef- forts in practice themselves and witt, both teams confident of victory and keeping in trim with all necessary care lively scrap will result.

Asxle. Not Strong

Aggies Not Strong
 So, in spite of the fact that the Alabamians are heavy favorites in the Mosiem Day tilt. there is absolutely no telling what will happen when the two factions en- deavor to strut their stuff on Redwood field Thursday after noon.
 The Aggies are not strong this year, but it's well known fact that no matter how weak they may lcok against other opposi- tion there is always a tightening before the Alabama game and they appear at their very best when going against the Crimson Tide. This game takes on all the appearance of a Howard Birming- ham Southern battle in this. re- spect. For instance. no one fig ured that Boward had a chance Saturday--so far as the dope was concerned. Yet the Bulldogs waded in, outfought the Panthers. and hung up a well deserved, we'll fought victory.
 Tho same spirit prevails when the Mississippians come into Bir- mineham for their tilt with the Crimson Tide. They give just little bit more than they have
 Vesurrcct Trick Play
 There were two plays of prom thence brought to light early in the season. Centre dug the lock step out of the moth balls and surprised the football world by using it against Harvard. Ala bama discovered and perfected the tumble in her carly contests. Later, the board of strategy held T conference and decided that the tumble wasn't much Of ground gainer. and it was discarded from the formations of the Crimson Tide.
 Saturday, however, it erept back into the linelight and the trick play gave Georgia her only touchdown, and came mighty near beating Alabama. A tumble in the first minute or so of play. and Fletcher picked the ball up and raced sundry laps for a touchdown.
 It is not thought that Ala bama will use the tumble te dis advantage in Thursdays affair, but at the same time 1t must be remembered that one never can tell. And. while 1t looks like an oods-on bet that Alabama will win, still as Paul Jones said In the "Cat and the Canary" on the other hand it doesn't.
 Mike Fought His Heart Ont

Gives No Real Reason

Auburn, Ala, November z7.-With tears streaming down his faces, Mike Donahue. for 1s years athletic coach at Auburn. this afternoon announced that he had mailed his resignation to President Spright Dower, effective July 1, 1928. Officials at Auburn declined to discuss the resigna ton, declaring it had not been placed be- fore them.
 Donahue declined to give any reasons for the resignation. It is reported, however, that the resigna ton is due toa chain of circumtances running over a period of some three years or more. 1t is known that . small minority of the Auburn alumni had frequently complained that the football methods of Donahue were out of date and that with a coach with modern ideas. Auburn could be more effective as an offen- sive team and. -therefore. capable of winning more. games The criticisms have been answered by friends of ponahue this season by pointing to the unblemished southern record of the team of 1922.
 Players Reinstated
 Matters reached a climax last week when the announcement was made that Captain Shirey, Shirley. Gibson. Pruitt and Glover, niainstays of the Auburn squad. had been put on probation because their studies were a little shy" according to the re- port Donahue, 1t Is known, an- nounced several days ago that he would resign as soon as the Thanks giving day game against Tech was ever. Members of the aImni asso- citation endeavored to prevail on him to change his mind. but without avail. The five players put on proba7 ton were reinstated today and re- turned to football training this aft ernoon.
 At a meeting of the team after practice, the players with tears streaming down their faces, renewed their allegiance to their coach with the words, Coach. we're going to beat h-l out of Tech for you''

After steam boat start. a great display of wiling ness and gsmeness. Willie Fitzgerald last night went through one round of terrific punishment. and started another. but merciful clip on the jaw ended the affair for him.
 In the first round of their bout last night. Fitzgerald and Herring staged some scientific slugging, in which Reds ability to land more of ten and to dodge more cleverly won him shade. The Philadelphia fighter was forcing the battling. and Red put forth his best to take high honors.
 Fitzgerald Sent Down
 Shortly after tho beginning of the second round, Fitzgerald shot across q long right and found it's mark on Red Herring's chin. Red was down only an instant, bt when he rose he seemed to realize that Fitzgerald was not to be taken too lightly. From then on the Philly scrapper was doled out a terrible beating. Before the second session was over, Fitz was down four times, for counts ranging from two to eight. The gong saved him the last ttme, after Ref cree Evans had tolled out three.
 The third had hardly begun before Herring shot across a short left hook which travelled only about foot. Fitz fell like log. and was counted out. II was some time before he was able to leave the ring.
 Herring. as usual. looked like a champion last night, and the unoni- nous opinion of fandom seems to be that Red deserves a matching with a worthier foe. X bout with Herring and some well-known lightweight would probably pack the B. \. c. auditorium. Herring and Fitzgerald fought at catchweights, the Phila-

ever since there has been B school out on Sunshine Slopes. Mike, the last of the Mohicans, playing his last game in his last year at college. suffered serious injuries in that mad tilt.
 It will be recalled that he was seriously injured in the same game last year, and was confined to his room many weeks after the battle. The same old wounds were opened Saturday. and Mike is now at his home in West End under the care of a doctor. He really had no business getting back in football this year. after such a disastrous campaign in 1922, but Mike was a Norton, and he felt like he just had to con. tribute his services as long as he could stand on his two feet. He probably made more gains than any individual on the Panther team Saturday and played bril- liantly throughout. but the hec- ticity of the afternoon told, and the bruises he received were too much to withstand.

 We're pulling for Auburn and for Mike just as strong as any aiumnus, but at the same time we cant refrain from pointing out to the boys that Georgia Tech is awful hard to beat on Grant field. That's home for Tech. and the Jackets seem to be inspired when they trot onto Grant field as the Tech band blares forth with "Ramblin Wreck"
 Get all the points you can, boys, and odds. too, if possible and pull like thunder for Mike to put one over.
