being tried out at end. | Needs Offense.
 Someone has said the strongest de- fense is good offense. Alabama must develop an offense. Followers of the Crimson will remember last years game with Sewanee at Redwood.
 The Tiger had been played score less tie by Carson Newman. The fol- lowing Saturday Howard was defeated by a 5 to 2 score, yet a week later the Crimson could only score one touch down against the Purple and that in the last few minutes of play. This was due to the lack of speed, drive and l coordination of the offense. Every ef- fort IS being made this year. to over come last years weakness, but with the Furman game less than three weeks I away great improvement must be shown if the Purple Hurricane" is to be de- feated by any sized score.
 1 Furman Ready.
 I Furman has everything to gain and nothing to lose, and is prepping strong ly for the Alabama game.
 | The Crimson backfield, once at de- yelops its drive, should equal that of any southern eleven. Captain Pooley Hubert, if he takes his training se- riously, should be in line with Gillis for all-southern this year. Red Barnes, on account of an attack of appendicitis, will hardly play before the middle of October. Whitaker, Mack Brown and Cohen are good backs, as are Rosen- field, McClintock, Salmon and Hussey.. There is plenty of speed in the back field. once the drive is developed. Lit tie has been said in criticism of the line, for veterans like Camp, Jones, Buckler, Langhorne, Oliver, Perry, En- his and Propst, all southern center, can be depended upon.. ...--5-.s. | Will Hold Own.
 Alabama has an eleven that will probably hold it's own, may lose one game or possibly two, but if it is to be in the championship running and admittedly the Tide has a chance for the cup there is much work in store, The over-confidence must be overcome and team work, meaning interference, drive and push, developed. The coaches are alive to the situation and the Grim son and the Crimson Tide may yet swamp all opposition.

Editors Note.---This Is the first of . se- Ties of staff articles that will be published From. time to time about elevens that will play at Redwood this season.
 The University of Alabama foothall squad is perhaps in as good physcal condition, except for injuries, and ds far advanced as any southern eleven. 2 This season, fortunately, there is a wealth of material, and Coach Wahace Wade, assisted by Coaches Cohen and Crisp. has been at work morning, noon end night for the past two weeks. r Should Be Stronger.
 The natural inference would be that with such a large percentage of last years eleven back, and with the past years experience, the eleven this year should be at least 25lper cent stronger Time alone will settle the question. At the present writing 1t seems to the writer that in spite of the continual roasting" by the coaches, the entire squad is over-confident. { j, There seems to be feeling that it is not necessary, in players parlance, to put out" at present. There are no shirkers on the squad and the best of feeling seems to prevail. Possibly the men have been driven too hard. The 1dCt NcuhiHSs uOWOFSEs tudt uOC only on Denny field but the campus as well the atmosphere seemed charged with over-confidence.
 Three Eleyens Practice.
 The eleyens-there were three elevens running signals during the writer's visit--were quick in starting and seemed to have the necessary pep, but in scrimmages were woefully weak in blocking and few sure tackles were made.
 That Alabama will have a good line seems assured.
 The recent return of Propst may settle one of the wing positions. Shorty would probably make great end and on account of his height and reach would be very valuable in the aerial attack, but it should be remem- bered that the hole at Center must be plugged, if the shift is to be made. Compton and Holmes, both above the average on defense, are far from accu- rate, passers. Hudson, Caldwell and Johnson at present seem to be develop Inf into shifty material-an three are

NO INTEREST IN GAMES

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 2O.-With the Southern association closing its 1924 season tomorrow, interest in the final games has been reduced to min imum, positions of the clubs not being subject to change as result of the eleventh hour victories or defeats The shouting and tumult died away to a mere whisper several days ago when the Chickasaws of Memphis finally shook off the challenging gestures Of the Atlanta Crackers and made final victory mathematically sure by amass- ing lead greater than the remaining number of unplayed games.

Two of these huskies are men who will be delegated to stop the rrshes of Auburn backs. The other two will be sent out with the ball on the offensive. On the left is husky boy, an aggressive linesman and
 rugged player, Turner "Pealus" Scott, who will likely get an assign ment at tackle, Scott is brother of Gabby Scott, former star quar- terback on the Panther eleven, and is great Iinesman. The boy who is2 preparing to streak out across the field with the ball is "Bullo Williams, shining star of last years Howard game, and one of the men depended upon to do a lot of ad- ] yancing with the ball. He will play a half. Eddie Pace was caught as he started a punt anc 1t is likely that he will service at half and do quite bit of the bunting. The lineman on the right is Douglas Prftchett, one of the most aggres. sive players ever to appear on Gold and Black eleven. He will hold down a berth at guard this year.
