COLONIES GOING AFTER SOUTHERN
 TITLE SATURDAY
Coach Moran Sends Team Through Stiff Workout
 at DanvilIe

Danville, Ky, November l4.-(Spe- any promisory note in Louisville Saturday night. when he told his squad that there would be work and nothing but work at Cheek field this week. and that it would be plenty heavy. But the 'Unk" does not need any signature attached to his promise, for his memory is about as keen as a biting January wind blowing at a terrific speed around a lonely corner.
 Three o'clock this afternoon found all of the squad in their uniforms and in a hurry to get out for prae- tice. It was drizsling rain that kept the Colonels company this after noon. However, they went through a two-hours- and a-half seige prepar- ing for their great battle with Au- burn They did not seem to dread the weather, and little goed would it have done them if they had cared. But then all of the men arN
 to win and are willing to sacrifice and put the best that is in them for the last big game of the Centre schedule.
 Even Hudgins. who was injured in the Washington and Lee game. was not permitted to rest long, for he was out in uniform and stayed at his po- sition for half of the matinee, and then was relieved by Green. the featherweight half.
 The No Admittance" sign was hung out at Cheek field this after noon. and secret practice will be held for the remainder of the week and no spectators will be allowed on the field at any time. The coaches real ize that it is the last big drive of the season and they want the men to get the best out of every drill.
 After Dixie Title
 Beat Auburn and the southern title is ours" is the cry that is com ing from the mouths of the players and the supporters. and it is tho spirit that is bubbling over in the Centre fort and the Gold and White machine has bucked down to their work with grim determination.
 Yesterday afternoon the scrubs were taught the plays that have been used by Auburn, and this aft ernoon they tried them out on the varsity. and found that the first stringers were able to check all of them. But this is not in any way a sign of being perfect. Many of these plays were bewildering and peculiar. and they would go well against any team that had not been prepared to stop them. Centre made its best showing against eAuburn last No- vember, and every play that was tried was good for a gain.
 Tigers on Defense
 The Tigers were kept on the defense .ourfifths of the game. and when they got possession of the ball it was a hard assignment to break through the Centre defense. The Colonels held them to three first downs, while they heaped up the amount to 21.
 There is being more enthusiasm aroused over this game than there has been over any previous game ot the season, and it will not be sur prise to see the Colonels rise to the height of their strength when they enter the fracas which carries with k the southern lsurels.
 Line off Form
 A large number of supporters will leave here with the team and wish them well in their assignment. With in the past month the Centre line has been coming in for lot of criticism. with practically the. same line as of last season, with the exception of Bill James, the Colonels have shown little of their last seasons ability. Last autumn 1t was disgrace to let any team make over five first downs in T single game, but this fall it has been decidedly different and every team the Colonels have faced have col lected a lot of yardage and five teams have crossed the coveted Centre chalk markers.
 There has not been any changes made in the line this week and the same eleven that started the game against Washington and Lee will start against the Plainsmen. Hud- gins will be able to start the game and will help the Colonels as usual.
 The Centre players, alumni and students are expecting hard game. and they all have much respect for John Barleycorn' Shirey. leader of the Tigers and also the rest of the band and the bunch is training hard CT for this contest than they trained for Harvard.
 Favor End Runs
 The Colonels in last Saturdays game got away with several pretty end runs which have characterized the Centre teams for the past four years, and they are Slated to pull off more of these runs with five men leading the interference and with Covington and Hudgins. the Jack Rabbits" carrying the pigskin. This will be one of the plays that Centre will depend upon to win the game. Covington, the super McMillin, will .lx~ sA ry-~e his toe can do and he Is expected to put over at least one drop in the game. The team will only have two more days of practive before they leave for the south and the land of sunshine and "on the Victory" is the
