 gomery

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 15.-(Spe- cial. )-The Capstone is deserted in regard to football players--the var sity is on the verge of their clash Friday afternoon with Mike Dona- hres Louisiana Tigers at Montgom- cry and the freshman squad sallied 1 forth at noon today to battle the freshman eleven of Mississippi AN & M. at Starkville, Miss.
 1 Alabama's lineup to face l.. s. U. Friday afternoon will be as follows: Captain Clemens. left end; Buckler. left tackle; Jones, left guard; Propst, center; Camp, right guard; Comp l ton, right tackle; Newton, right guard; Hubert, fullback; Gillis, quarterback; Baty, right leftback Barnes, left halfback.
 l The 'Bama team left here in the best of condition on an early train this morning and were scheduled to work out this afternoon at Cramton Bowl Twenty-four players made the trip, for Coach Wade wants am- 1 pie substitutes along with him if the Tigers show greater strength than | is expected.
 | Alabama is expected to trounce L.. s. U. by three or four touchdowns, but no one is so confident as to ex- pect it to be a walk-away for the l Crimson eleven. The team Is going down expecting a hard fight and Is sure to get 1t. Everything points to l a heavy battle. Last Saturday, the Tigers postponed their game until a later date and that may be an indi- cation that L. s. U. has been pointed | for the Alabama game in the same manner that Alabama was prepped for the Tech affair.
 The final day of practice at the | Capstone was one of much eXertlon for the varsity members of the team. | All were out and took an equal snare of the work. It was work all the afternoon, for Coach Wade IS not ies- ting the men rest any before the sea- son Is over.
 Wade Introduced To Capital.
 This will be Coach Wade's and the 1923 Crimson Tides initial introduce ton to Montgomery. The game has been widely advertised down there and the Crimsons should play be- | fore a large audience. Coach Wade lis sure to make many friends down in the Capital City for everyone thinks the world and all of him at hit there, for they have been guilty | of some mighty good football ex- hibitions this year. And good toot- l ball is what the fans like.
 Grant Gillis and Shorty" Propst will be watched very closely in this exhibition. captain ClSliCii'f W. For last Saturdays performance by these three men will warrant them berth on the mythical all-southern eleven-if such good work continues. Gillis was a shining star last Satur- day and everyone is predicting con ! tinration of such work in future games.
 As the end of the season draws near, Alabama is beginning to think more and more of that Dixie title Alabama realizes she has no better chance at it than Georgia and Flor ida-disregarding Georgia Tech ana Vanderbilt, for the present-but she feels that she has as good chance as they have. The Georgia game IS to be donbly hard for Alabama be- cause of the feeling at the Capstone I that Georgia usually gets the breaks against Alabama. And the breaks Tn | that game will about decide it.
 Florida is undergoing rather easy schedule at the present moment
 but is withort doubt the strong CT of the two teams. Her tie wlth Tech showed more for her than Ala l bama's did. However, that Is no worrying the Capstone any-the game must be played and Alabama IS out to win just as Florida is.
 The freshmen are hoping to con
