| DANVILLE ELEVEN
NOW ON WAY FOR
TILT WITH AUBURN

Danville, Ky, November 16.-(Spe
cial)-The Centre College Colonies
left here ar 1880 tonight for Bir-
mingham, Ala, where they will take
on the Auburn Tigers for the south
ern honors in that city on Saturday
and it is going to be a battle royal.
This is the second time that these
two elevens have battled and this
year the game will mean the south
ern championship. The Auburn line
is considered to be their biggest asset
and then their forward passing game
ranks next. The Colonies have taken
on considerable brace this week and
Auburn will now have to depend on
something more than their line to
carry them to victory.
Team Stronger
It has looked for the whole season
like the Centre team could not
strengthen, even IL IL had to do so.
but this week, after three afternoons
of serimmage work and signal prac-
tice, the line has now gotten to &
point where they are charging fast
and low, which means a great deal to
any team.
+ All OF the Centre players are in the
best condition and viii all give ae-
count Of themselves at Birmingham
Herbert Covington the Mayfield, Ky,
! flash, had the misfortune to injure
his finger in this afternoons practice.
but it is not serious and VIII not
handicap "Covy" In making the end
runs for which he is becoming ia
nous.
Depends ON Roberts and COvington
Last year at Birmingham it was
Roberts and Covington and this year
it will be the same two men that will
DO most OF the ground gaining for
the Colonies. while at the same time
Hudgins, one of the fleetest backs
that ever wore the gold and white
uniform, will at no time be found
| loafing and he will carry the mail
| just as often as he is called upon to
| do so, and this will be numerous
| times if he can hit the stride like he
| did against Washington and Lee, he
| is bound to get away for several nice
gains. Centre will be able to send
forth the full array of regulars to
face Auburn's team at the Kickoff
Saturday; 1t is the strongest team
that has taken the field since the
Harvard game. The Colonies viii
endeavor TO make most of their gains
on end runs
The famous lock step shift. which
has been talked of so much this
season, will be used against the
Plainsmen and "Unk" believes that
1t will be used to advantage. 1t has
been talked of by all the grid lovers
in Dixie and all of them are very
anxious to see it perfected.
it has never been used but twice
in the state of Kentucky and several
Of the fans are making the trip es-
pecially to see this feat accomplished.
