KENTUCKY ELEVEN ARRIVES IN TUSCALOOSA AT 8O'CLOCK
Many Cars And Special Train To Leave Birmingham Sat- urday Morning For Game

The University of Kentucky team was to arrive in Tuscaloosa Satur- day morning at o'clock for their big game today with the University of Alabama Crimsons on Denny Field. A wire Friday night from the Wildcats train said that the team would be delayed by wreck and would not get into the Druid City until this morning at o'clock. The eleven was originally scheduled to get into Tuscaloosa Friday aft ernoon and work out on Denny Field, but their plans had to be altered tn account of the wreck.
 Plans are being made at the uni versity to handle the largest crowd that ever assembled there. Cars were leaving Birmingham as early as Friday afternoon and all through Saturday morning the roads are ex- pected to be well lined with autos headed for the Capstone, while sew eral processions will leave the Magic City to make the run. This is in addition and outside of the special train that will leave the Louisville and Nashville station Saturday morn- ing at II o'clock headed for Tusca- loose.
 As soon as the train reaches its destination the fans will go to the university campus. where lunches will be served by fair maidens in the scheduled for about l o'clock or little before, as the train is slated to arrive at it's terminus at 12!2e.
 A varied sport card has been pre- pared fer the homecoming celebra- ton and from present indications the day will be one of the biggest ever held at Alabama. The big game at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon is the headliner. while there will be sev- eral side line attractions during the afternoon.
 Realizing that in the eleven from the Blue Grass country Alabama is faced with one of the three hard struggles remaining for 1923, Coach Wallace Wade's Crimsons waded through ltng scrimmages against va red style of play as used by the re- serves this week.
 Alabama Out For Title.
 For not underestimating the strength of this eleven that last Sat urday held Centre to 10 points, Ala bama has her eyes pictured on southern title. Talk of nothing else is heard on the campus. The cap stone students have not had such tempting bait before their eyes in a long time, and everyone realizes that Kentucky is one of the three great obstacles between Alabama ana the, Dixie title. The other two are Georgia and Florida.
 'Tis a hefty eleven invading the shores of the Crimson Tide this Sat urday. a team of many veterans With an occasional place plugged by a fl eshman of last year. It must be remembered that 'Tucky's fresh eleven created quite bit of dash in freshman circles last year. And, ok ct fOrU0ttpn that it was this same Kentucky eleven that smashed dope last year on a muddy field and defeated 'Bama by to score.
 How dope has the fray Saturday Is not known. Certainly Alabama can not be given long odds to win. Yet one cannot say that 'Bama is to lose. Saturdays game against Tech,> while not won, was certainly not lost. Ana so it may be Saturday. The odds are even, in the opinion of many at Ala bama, although Kentucky is to lose in the opinion of all. But, from start to finish. it will be for the eleven that shows the greatest fighting power.

 Exert New Seats.
 Carpenters finished erecting 1000 new seats on the baseball side or the field and more seats at the snort end of the gridiron. Plans are belng made to entertain at least 10000 peo- ple at Denny field on Saturday. Be- tween halves of the game, three- mile road race is to be run, while the latest feature, according to Assistant Athletic Director Berney Perry, Will be race between three airplanes.
 However, whatever sidelights there will be, the game will be the greatest attraction at the Capstone on Home Coming Day. It will be the last ap- pearance of the Tidesmen upon Denny field and so far this season Denny field has not witnessed the scoring on the Tide by a foreign eleven. IL will be another battle of colors, put a battle with all the trimmings or two elevens in the best of shape after having weathered almost all or the football season.
 There are a few minor casualtles listed in the camp of the CrlnsoHs' hut when the starting whistle IS heaId every man needed to play Win be ready for his trick. Poodey ,'. nu bert. Allan MacCartee and shorty Propst are three hefty young sters who trotted along the sidelines the nrst few days of this week, put lt would certainly be weakeneo Nilni son eleven that would start minus all three of these men.
 'Bama has presented varied at- tack this season, using practically ail methods of play in their attack. Ihey have quite a few good line p!uhseis in Baty Barnes, Oliver and Hupert' As to men able to circle ends' @ bH,@ has MacCartee, Gillis and Browh. The triple threat artists, MacCartee and Gillis, con handle with ease the hunting and passing. As said before, there's southern title in the oftlng and Alabama has her eye set on It,
