Alabama Will Not Enter An nuaI Classic With SeWanee OVerconfident Of Victory


 UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 1S.-(Spe- cial0 2,OOo odd students at the University of Alabama are pre- pairing to sweep Birmingham and Sewanee in their wake Saturday for they're coming with a firm in- tcntion of having Birmingham re- member them and having the Se- vance Tigers remember Saturday, october 20.
 A special train will leave here at o'clock Saturday morning carry ing hundreds of students and the Tide, while a great number of stu dents will travel through the coun- try b'rom the moment that the Capstone students reach Blrming- 8labama" and will continue until the fiaal student has left Sunday or Monday.
 slim Carter, cheer leader, plans to ,have d. downtown parade as soon as the sl ecial train reaches the Magic Citr, while a parade Of vic tory-if such happens-is planned that night Assisting Carter will be Herbert Stt ed and Hamilton Per linr and from these thHee men are expected to come all the inspiration necessary for a Crimson victory.
 Rain at the Capstone has some what deaayed the progress of the Crimson Tide. but Coach Wade spread his men out on Denny Field in a slight drizzbe early in the week, and if rain continues It Is not believed that it will hamper the work of the TidesmenA It will be a much different eleven from the cratic one that faced Sewanee last year when f,he Tigers were fortunate and received a TT tie.
 Alabama Not Confident.
 Alabama is not going into the game confident of success for every one realizes that Sewaneee always plays her best game against the Tide The fact that Powers, San ders, Miller and number of stars are still wearing the Sewanee. jer- seys in another indication that Se- vance is not as weak as many people think.
 The exact eleven that will face the Sewanee Tigers at Rickwood field i is hard to say. Coach Wade is still undecided as to his Crimson candi- dates. The squad was picked last week for the Syracuse trip, but whether the same men will wear the Crimson jerseys is hard to say. And it is also certain that more than 22 will make the trip to Birmingham.
 Gillis, Barnes and Brown are three backs who will make their first appearance as varsity men at Rick wood. All three are apt to start the game. Gillis is one of the best ltunters on Denny Field, and Is also aA speed artist. Barnes is one of the best line plungers and open field Runners on the team. Brown a Freshman of last year from Dothan, . is without peer when it comes to ; moving along fast.
 s Hubert Is sure to call signals and VI do his line plunging from fullback. and he is a wonder. MacCartee is a~triple threat artist, who Is a great Ea ka one of the first to start. McClintock and Oliver are two other e-look- ing backs.
 Newton May Play.
 Tom Newton may play in the se- vance game but it is very doubtful The return of this stellar end from ! last year would add a great deal to the strength of the Tidesmen, but IL is almost certain that Whitaker Whitaker is given the preference. captain Al Clemens, of course, will match the left flank. The tackles Will go to Buckler and Compton, with Lapghorne held in reserve. . Jones, Langhorne, Ennis and Camp E thing for the guard positions. And I at center will be Shorty Propst. one Of the best men in Dixie that 2 ever tossed ball to back | Alabama will present one of the greatest fighting elevens In Dixie [ lots Of punch and power in every phase of the defense Or offense. a ; team with backs of experience but z line composed mostly of fresh men of last year. At the same time, < 1t must be remembered that as a 4 whole the men are sinexperienced I and this is Wallace Wade's first 2 year at Alabama.
