 Nov. 4

TUSCALOOSA, Ala, Nov. 26.- (Special)-Coach Wallace Wade an- nounced here just before he left for Birmingham that the Crimson Tide and Florida Gators would play next year at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery on November II.

 NEW BACkFIELD
Grid Battle In Atlanta
 To Draw 10000 A Fans

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 26.-CSpe- eial)-a brand new backfield will be tried out by Georgia Tech against Au- burn in the Thanksgiving Day game on Grant Field. Coach Alexander now plans to use Sam Murray at quarter back, Ike Williams and Blp Farns worth, at halfbacks, and Wycott, ol course, at fullback.
 This means that such sterling backs os Craig Wilton, Fred Moore, Garter Barron, Bob Reeves, Vaughn Connolly Rags Parrish, Tom Angley and Mckee will be used as replacement. forces dur ing this game, to be rushed Tn agalnst a wearied Auburn eleven.
 This change in his backfield ap- parently is the only shift Alexander wlll make for the big game Thursday which will draw well over 10000 people, and may even establish a new attendance mark for football in the south.
 Probable Line-Up
 He has intimated he will use King and Nabelle on the ends; Gardner and Usry at the tackle; Goodwin and Carp enter at the guards and Pool at center. This is the same line whcih faced Vandy and l.. S. U. and did such fine playing in those two games.
 Only Gus Merkle, the brilliant end who was badly injured when Tech defeated Penn State, and Bob Reeves now seem out of the game. Reeves in all probability will play, but Merhle's chances of getting into the game are as slim as Irene Castle.

MIDDIES WORK
 FOR BIG GAME

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 26.-Foot' ball enthusiasm is running high in An napolis as the squad of Midshipmes athletes put in their final days of prac tice for the annual inter-service clash with the West Point Cadets in the Bal tlmore stadium next Saturday.
 Confidence is steadily growing here that the Middies will emerge victorious early performances and fore casts to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Today the Middies were put through another lengthy drill, every element of play coming in for share of atten- tion, forward passing, offensive as well as defensive, being specialized. Head Coach Bob Folwell and his assistants expressed satisfaction with the work of their charges.
 The coaches virtually decided to make one change in the backfield and one in the line at least for the start of the game. Wellings, who has been go ing strong in early season games but suffered an attack of neuritis, has re- covered and will supplant Albertson at right half, and Eddy will start at left guard in place of ChillingwOrth.
 These shifts, it is felt, will bolster the team. They will rebound to strengthen the kicking department es- peciallY.

ARMYssCLAN HAS
 SECRET WORKOUT

WEST POINT, N. r., Nov. 2e.--A secret workout wound up Army's prep arations forsthe Navy game today. The field was muddy and the going heavy, but the coaches drilled the men more than an hour, devoting much time to the Army's offensive, during which there was long kicking scrimmage and sharp signal drill.
 The punters, Wood and Yoemans, sent high twisting spirals down field with the big linemen going down under them. The defense continued its work of preparation against the Navy attack with particular attention being given to the methods to be employed to block Navy's overhead plays, which it is felt ill the Army camp, will be the Middies' chief weapon.
 No selection of the lineup which win face the Navy has been given out.
 The departure of thirty-eight players, coaches and trainers is set for tomor- row morning.

 Cobb has ever been a critic. He criti. cized freely but he rarely gave anything but a constructive criticism. He would pick faults and point them out, but he would suggest a remedy at the same time. Anybody can criticize, but few can criticize constructively. Some of Cobb's suggestions may not have been good, but they were still the best he had and considered by him an improvement over the condition with which he found fault. se.
