 AS CRIWSONS GET. READY FOR START.
Ole Miss Arrives With Husky Squad Of Men
 Friday

UNIVERSITY, Ala. Oct. G.-(Spe- ciaL Crimson Tide will face the University or Mississippi eleven on Denny Field Saturday afternoon with big question to be decided for the students-will the Tidesmen fight?
 The clash Saturday will be the last opportunity for Alabama students en masse to see the Crlmsons in action until the Kentucky State game, seve- ral weeks off. Secret practice has not enabled the students to see the Alabama eleven in action, and for that reason the majority of students are rather muddled as to the exact ability of the Tide. And they must be shown something Saturday after noon.
 Hubert's line bucking was a fea-
 ture of last Saturdays game, won by superior brainwork of the Tides men and not so much because they outplayed Union. Saturday, the Ala bama supporters will see Pooley in a new role-that of calling signals from a fullback position. Coach Wade has had the plunging Missis-
 sippian doing this phase of the at tack for the past few days, and he is rot showing any hesitation about calling plays.
 McCarty and McClintock will be the quarterbacks used, and may call signals. Barnes is apt to start the game, for this lad has been rearing through the line a la Hubert, and has given the most creditable work of the week by back. He is speedy, a good open-field runner, and has a terrible drive. Baty, due to his lack of practice because of illness, may not enter the game. Whitaker and Brown are regarded as likely starters
 Alabama has 8 lack of reserve linemen, yet with a little more de- velopment this should be overcome. Captain Clemens and Hudson are re- garded as optional beginners at end, Oliver has been counted on as first reserve end. but the former back has had a few off periods this week which endangers his chances. A re- serve end can be had in Dany, in shifting Jones from guard there, or placing Whitaker on the wing. Divers place on the eleven is. still yet a question, and it is hard to de- eide whether to keep him on the line or return him to the backfield.
 Buckler and Compton will start at tackles. These two men are scrappers, and fight hard. Langhorne and Jones may start the guards, with Ennis and Camp just as apt to. Langhorne can be shifted to tackle at a moments notice, and Martin is another who fills in ably Jn times of need. Propst will play center, Jones counted on as reserve man in case he is forced out. Jones, as can be seen, is rather versa tile. Last year he played end on the freshman team and very little at tention this year would be needed to equip him for battle there. He is counted on as regular guard, and at the same time is understudying Propst.
 Coach Wade is seeing that his Ala bama candidates sat the proper things, for Friday morning he spent more than an hour talking to the one in charge of the food for the varsity men and explained carefully what they should have. Without doubt, the Wade system embraces more than any coach hitherto has employed in the making of creditable football team. Already, the team is said to be brainier than ever before, and this Coacn Wade. Skull practice almost nightly has fitted them to where they do not depend solely on their Drawn.
 Ole Miss squad arrived in Tusca- loosa Friday, husky bunch of Mis- sissiprians, who look primed for battle. Captain Montgomery was one of the first to step off the train and grinned cheerily at mention of the oncoming game. Following him was Akin, their well-rated fullback. and Hoff, their bunting center. Thirty men were brought here for the game, including Muslin, Allen, Mckee Baxter, Stovall, two Smiths, Perkins, MoDougall, Acree and Wood- ward Woodward is one who carries a threat in his plaV
