Game Will Be Played Satur- day Afternoon In Champion Bowl, Montgomery

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. Especially Wednesday afternoon the Tiger var sity were busy entertaining, in com bat. the hard-hitting freshmen on Drake field in one of the best scrlm- images seen in the practices this sea- son.
 Judging from the hard driving of the varsity charges by the coaches Tulane stock must be on an upward trend in the Tiger camp. Those about the rectangular arena, where the stuo- born varsity y-freshman scrap was talk ing place were commenting freely on the straight football being injected into the play by the coaches in pre- paratlon for the game with the Green backs in their annual tilt Saturday. Judging from the maneuverS on Drake field this afternoon the coaches, after the team received a red letter record at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs last Saturday, is putting in cold storage a lot of the formations used in the game at Columbus last weekend.
 The freshies on their second in- Vasion of the varsity stronghold this week were waging hot fight against their more experienced opponents. Time and time again the varsity threw their whole power into efforts to penetrate the freshman territory and a touchdown only to lose the ball for the lack of sufficient yardage. The Newell clan displayed fine de- fensive game and when varsity back attempted at going through for gains three or four green-jerseyed freshies were smothering the play and tackling the runner. Coach Pitts staid on the heels of the varsity eleven until finally Fox Howe crossed the end lines for the counter of the day. At this point. the days work was concluded and the weary grid ders put out for the gymnasium.
 Tigers Use New Plays.
 Coach Pitts Used number of play CTS that have not appeared in the initial line-ups in the contests of late. The lineup to start was: Lawrence, center; Captain Reagan and McFad- den, guards; Brice and Majors, tackles; Spinks and Sheridan, ends; Crane, quarterback; Argo and Ford, halves, and Green fullback. The coaches are priming these fellows for the struggle with Tulane Saturday. McFadden, who has frequently been called on for duty on the flank was moved in to guard and the former Sidney Lanier lad gave good ac- count of himself tallying with Cap tain Reagan in the center of the line. Sheridan, who is familiarly known on the diamond as well as in the fall pastime, looked good at end. He had been on the injured list for several days with a sprained foot. Argo, who scored touchdown in the Fort Ben- ming game figured conspicuously in the ground gaining throughout the afternoon scrimmage. Spinks, who has been an understudy for Pruitt at end and has been delivered In fine fashion when called on this season, was going good at the terminal post. Huckabe, who halls from Carrollton, Ga, and who was a star lineman on the freshman team of last season, is proving his worth on the line this season. The big Georgian played a greater part of Wednesdays prac. tice. Ed Allen, half back, got into the fracas during it's later stages and got away for several nice gains. Be- fore the final whistle practically ev- cry man on the squad got shot at the fighting freshmen.
 The transfer of Ford from fullback to half seems to be permanent change as the big black is lining up regularly at the half position in the workouts this week. Howe. who has played on the line and at fullback seems to be permanent fixture at full. Howe is playing his best sea son and is expected to be a power in the remaining big games on the schedule. The return of Sitz to his job as guard, after being out prac- tically all season with injuries, Is a source of joy to Tiger followers and the big guard is calculated to bolster up the division by his presence n fbn line
