 ATTRACT A MONSTER CROWD
Teams Training Carefully For Big Game At Redwood Field Saturday Afternoon

Last year, despite the rain, another record crowd wit messed the two teams play and the re- suits were reversed. Auburn won 6 to 0. This year 1t is the rubber game and with prospects good for a fine day for football the record for all attendance at a football game here is likely to be shattered.

The Tigers realize fully what a tremendous task is before them and are preparing to give their best. On the other hand Uncle" Charlie Moran, t Centre, is carefully grooming his men for the battle. Last year a bad slip gave the Tigers victory over the Colonels. The punt that failed to get away when. booted from the toe of Red" Roberts, was the factor that turned the tide for the Tigers. This year there will be no such slips, if Coach ic coaching his punters to get their kicks off quick and is giving his backfield men training in running with the interference.
