 TYhe Coffee delegation were to have come down on a special train Satur- day but were unable to make ar engagements although large number of fans will be in the city Saturday to boost for their team.
 The game should be one of the best, ever staged here as both elevens have gone through the season with the goal lines uncrossed. field goal by the St Bernard team defeated Cullman in the only game that the Bearcats lost during the year and this game was played on very muddy field.
 The Florence team is in good shape for the game with the exception of their fullback, Malone A sprained ankle will handicap him but he is expected to make the start. If he is unable to play. Liebfried will prob ably be shifted from tackle to full- back and Smith will take his posi- tioii at tackle.
 In Ellis and Larimore the Beavers have two men that will be hard to stop while Captain Johnson and O'Neal are star linesman Schlosser, on end, was the star of the Coffee victory over Tuscumbia in the game last week in Florence, which put the ,l.;. o.1x, .F !, p.,t. the title.
 Cullman will be in fine shape for the game with the exception of their fullback, also Ragland will probably not be able to make the start. Calla- han will take fullback if the former cannot get into the game. Ragland was injured in the early part of the game with Shelby here last week and is suffering from stiffened leg.
 In Pugh the Bearcats have a fleet halfback that gave the Shelby team much trouge and is expected to do much ground gaining for the Gull man eleven Saturday. He made sev- eral sensational runs and was the hardest man to stop that played in the game that day.
 In the line Williamson, at center. and Mlteham, at tackle, areStwo good men, Both are playing their last year as is Captain Richardson, big luminary among the linesmen.
 Waller is a crack little end that is on every play and a good all-round man, while Callahan did some good ground gaining from fullback in the Shelby game.
 \ However, the Cullman team will hpve their work cut out for them in gopping the rushes of the Coffee Eigh backs. The teams are. about evenly matched and both have de- feated many strong teams this year.
