Last year SeWanee was spotted II points, but fought the Tide to a z to ' tie. This year they have their entire team, with the eX- ception of two or three men back, while Alabama has lost her big star, Bartlett. Although the Tide will out weigh the Mouataineers the visitors will have a speedy team with Powers and sanders leading the way.

The Bir- mingham Southern College band mas accepted the invitation of Sewanee officials to play for the team as Redwood Saturday. Prof. O. Gordon Erickson, director of the band, ex- plained in chapel at the college FIT ! dav morning that the band playins s for Sewanee was not mark or ols- resnect for Alabama but that they had no band coming with the team and that he had taken the matter up with Alabama officials and they said that it wouldn't De out or the way for the local band to play TOT the visitors, as they had no band, and it would tend to even up the rootlng more and put more enthusiasm into the game.
 The Tigers will have two good ends out of the game Saturaay' Goosn and Kent were both injured In the Texas A S M. game last saturday and will not be able to play on ac- count of bad legs. However, one bright spot in the outlook for the game today for the Tigers is the re- turn of their great fullback, Sanders, who does the kicking for the team This plunging backfield man will De depended upon heavily to buck the bail over when few yards are needed while his educated toe will be counted on to keep the ball out or the danger zone should the Tiger be crowded close to the goal. All ol the other players are in good shape and have been working hard since their return. ,
 Captain Litton and Blood" Miller, great end and guard, respectively, will be counted upon heavily Tn the game. Miller is one of the pest ends in the south and against Alabama fast end plays his position will be one of the most heavily attacked places on the team. His ability to cut down interference and get ms man will stand him in good stead in the battle today. Litton will bear a large part of the brunt of the great "Pooley" Hubert's line plunging.
 Powers To Be Depended On.
 Another Tiger back whose number will be called frequently is Hfene 2 Powers. Powers is a great of1ehslVe : man and will be sent around the ends and off tackle in the Sewanee drives. ~
 The Tiger team will average 165 pounds while Alabama will average about 175.
 Hubert will probaly be the man who will get the call more otseh in the game today than any other Alabama backfield man. Hubert won fame last year in the Pennsylvania game and is expected to star today. ; He will also call signals in the game.
 e make their appearance this year for the first time as varsity men and who have been doing fine work Gliils is one of the best punters on the squad while Brown is fleet broken field runner that is hard to tackie. Barnes also is new man and may get the call for the starting eleven Saturday.
 Capt. Al Clemens, who showed east ern sports writers last Saturday that their section is not the only one that < produces great players, when he was picked as one of the stars of the , game at Syracuse, is bound to start at end Whitaker will probably get the assignment at the other end while Hudson will be ready in case switch "a made. Buckner and Compton will dtart at tackles.
 Four good men are competing for j the start at guards It will be about an even break between Jones, Lang horne, Ennis and Camp.
 shorty Propst, elongated center, will draw the assignment as snapper back Propst is an aggressive player and a great man on defense.
 The Alabama team is hailed as s great fighting eleven and the Sewanee yigers are well known for hard play enS. The game will be great battle And Sewanee may again this year z upset dope as she did last year and < give the Tidesmen a drubbing.
