UNIVERSITY, Ala. Nov. 6.-(spe- c1aLl-say what one may. teams from Georgia Tech certainly suffered in their two games against the elewens from Alabama this past week. For the freshmen defeated a baby Tornado Friday afternoon and Ala ,bama's varsity rose to supreme heights Saturday In the art of de- fense and held the battering varsity of Tech to 8 60 score at Atlanta
 That's why Alabama reJoices, the re5oicing started the minute the Tech Alabama game was over Saturday and continued long after the teams and the two special trains returned from the lair of the Techmen. For, ,Bama's right from now. The su- prerne fest was met by both elevens, and both elevens rose to the form and class expected and came out vic- Dor in tho contest, For the tie against Tech is regarded as & victory at the Capstone. s Almost 1000 students packed into Morgan hall Saturday afternoon to bear the returns of the game, play by play. As they came over the wire, knowing the valiant defense the Crimsons were making and how Gill Bis sent the ball out of danger so Nanv times the students literally went wild. And when the announcer throw a broom across the stage ana if was all over, the immense hail fairly shook with the yells and cries of the students. For 'Bama had won not in points but had certainly won morally.
 Hafm Holds Pep Down.
 Rain all day Saturday at the Cap stone prevented any outward demon- stration of enthusiasm, but In every nk fhn a ranch and boarding houses around the campus, the game was played over and over until every minute de- tail had been covered 10 times. And what happened in Atlanta after the game has been fully related by all who tourneyed to the Cracker City.
 Having played six games and stand undefeated or scored upon, Alabama is throwing her hat in the ring Tor the premier honors in Dixie football. Comparative scores give Alabama, Florida and Georgia Tech the same rating. Alabama has time to either cinoh the honor or lose out in the race before the season ends. for she Is to meet three very strong elevens before the final game Is played. Flor ida and Georgia are played in sue cession, and at present Alabama faces the Kentucky Wildcats and Louisiana Tigers. L. S. U. Is not ex- pected to prove troublesome, but the other three will be games in which everything will be needed to win.
 Alabama plays Florids, Georgia and Kentucky State. A defeat of the three teams would give the Crin-sons a claim on the football championship of Dixie that could not be equaled by any other southern eleven, even Vanderbilt. For 1t would give the a record of eight victories, one de- feat (by Syracuse) and one tie game. Crimsons Have Hard Games.
 The Crimsons have no very easy games, the four remaining ones all being dubbed the hard variety of clashes. Kentucky State is to be entertained this coming Saturday on the campus, and as all members or the Tide see the southern title In the offing 1t is expected they will fght harder than ever to keep their record untarnished.
 Homecoming Day is to be onserv- ed with Armistice Day hero next Sat ruday and special trains from By mingham and other points in the state will be operated to Tuscaloosa. The athletic association are now building stands to accomodats 1000 more persons and 1t would not be surprising to see the game draw 1o,- 900 people next Saturday.

 While speaking of Alabama, one must not overlook the freshmen eleven. They, too. have their eyes set toward a championship play. All three games are to be played away from the camrus, the Mississippi A. and M- freshmen to be met at Stark vile, Miss, the Florida freshmen at Tampa, Fla, and the Georgia fresh men at Montgomery. Techs fresh men were beaten 20-o by the Florida freshmen. and that is the only com parative score before the Capstone.
 The freshmen eleven owe great deal of their success to their gritty little quarterback, Dave Rosenfeid. Rosenfeid is short in statue, but long on thought and ability. He Is the triple threat man of the freshmen field generals ever seen at the Cap stone. He Is tricky and far-sighted. He mixes his plays well and Keeps the freshmen popped.
 Plans for the biggest homecoming g day in the history of the school are being made for Saturday. Announce uent was made last week that park ing space for 5000 cars would be provided and soon letters of in- uuiry were received from Birming- ham. Nashville, Montgomery, Mobile and several other southern cities in regard to parking space for afr planes.
 As result the entertainment oom- mittee have struck on an unique idea and will give a cup for the first plano to reach the city for the big University of Alabama game on Denny Field Saturday aft ernoon.
 Thousands of friends and alumni of the university are expected to see ohe game and special trains will be onn from Birmingham and other UD1es over the south. The game will Be one of the most important on the Crimson schedule as 1t will have a c.rect bearing on Alabama's title chances.
