MAKES PLANS
 FOR 1925 GRID GRIND
Outlook Rosy For Tide Next Year-Hubert To
 .Back-Five Men Lost

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 29.-(Spe- cial. .)-Alabama, crowned Southern Conference champions on Thanksgiving Day by defeating Georgia, has already started planning her 1925 football eleven. That Is to say, Wallace Wade, who guarded the Tidesmen to their title, has.
 Coach Wade discussed the past sea son from every angle here Saturday morning with the writer and stated that he had called for all freshmen players of this year to report at Den ny Field for work Monday afternoon. And the fresh are to be taught foot ball until next February. Then they will be merged with the regulars and reserves of this year and a six-weeks' spring training program will be under taken,
 To Train Rats
 The purpose of this practice is an attempt to bring out the Rats" as near as possible to the stage the varsity squad now is. In other words, to teach them many fundamentals which they will have to learn sooner or later, but which will enable much time to be saved this spring or next fall by learning now.'
 Alabama is we'll satisfied with the record made by the Tidesmen this year. While it would have sweeter to have evaded defeat at the hands of Centre, it is over; Georgia's $50 defeat made up for that loss.
 The Crimson mentor was lavish in his praise of the cooperation rendered by all members of the squad this year. He said that all had worked hard and trained hard. An alertness and smart ness in graspink chances, in solving the attack of opponents and quick ness in their attacking an opponents weakness gave impetus to their great season.
 Wade Gets Credit
 Naturally to Wade must go most of the credit. He spent last year in developing an offense and teaching the fundamentals of the game. And when practice started this year, he began to plan an offense; this was made pos sible by the wonderful teamwork, the great blocking and the flashy open field running of the backs. Figures that

CLARKE PITCHED FOR HIS HEALTH Former Baron Started Baseball To Recover
 Health

He took up baseball for his health now he is on the pitching staff of big league ball club. That is the story of Rufus Rivers Clarke, who will get his second trial with the Detroit Tigers next spring.
 Suffering such q physical breakdown as the result of strenuous study in col lege that hs was forced to submit to two serious surgical operations. the doctors told Clarke, then just reaching the age of 2l. that he must give up .his studies and get outdoors; that only rebuilding through physical exercise would same him.
 Clarke Husky
 Clarke had been a husky youth and had played some baseball. Largely be- cause his brother Sumter Clarke was a ball player he decided to take up the game. He spent the late winter and spring of 1921 tossing ball and then the Baltimore Orioles came through his section of South Carolina as part of their training trip and he asked Jack Dunn for trial as a pitcher. Dunn took him on, largely on the reputation his brother had made in the game, and lute in May young Rufus was given his first chance in the box.
 From that date until the end of the 1921 season Clarke pitched in 38 games for the Orioles and made a record of nine victories and four defeats, but he admits the strong team back of him helped a lot, for he was low in the list in the matter of effectiveness.
 Jack Dunn sold him to Augusta for the 1922 season and with Augusta he tried his hand at other things besides pitching. He played IS games at first base and 28 in the outfield, and still had time to pitch total of 179 innings getting in 2S games on the mound. He got credit for winning nine, while los- ing thirteen, but Augusta was a poor ball club and he made a remarkable record for effectiveness even though los ing ball games.
 Pitched No-Hit Game
 The season of 1923 found him still with Augusta and devoting all his time to pitching. He was in 235 innings that season, and won seventeen games while losing but ten. One of his stunts that year was no-hit game.
 Ty Cobb had his eye on Augusta, that being his home town, so Clarke was brought in to the Detroit Tigers at the end of the season, and he made his debut as a major leaguer on the morning of Labor Day, as a relief pitcher. He got his first man; the next one, Harry Hooper, hit him for a two- bagger, but was thrown out at third next McClelland hit him for a sure enough three-bagger, but died on third when Eddie Collins couldn't hit the young recruit. That inning, however, ended Clarke's stay, for Cobb wanted to win the ball game.
 Detroit sent Clarke to Birmingham for 1924 and down there he found him. self. Cobb recalled him for further trial for the 1925 season.
 # Right -Hander
 Clarke, thanks to baseball, has fully recovered his health and now eonfesses to tipping the scales at 195 pounds and is over six feet in height. He will be 25 years old in April, he makes Estill, S. O., where he was born, his home, and during the winter is a cotton buyer. Incidentally he makes out bills of sale with the pen in his right hand, which tells us that he is no southpaw as a pitcher.

HOLY CROSS IS
 WINNER B TO Q

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The college foot ball season in New England was closed in the dusk and driving rain at Braves Field today with the red fire that celebrated Holy Cross victory over Boston college, B to o. It was a surprisingly onesided game, in which the Worcester collegians tore through the weak left sector of the Boston line time after time, but more often leaped in the air to intrecept a Bos- ton pass or swooped onto the ball let loose by q Boston tumble. Boston col lege was only once, and then moment arily, in possession of the ball be- yOnd midfield.

GROUNDS
FAIR

The Fair Grounds at Lancaster which
have had the aspect of deserted city
since last fall. are again teeming with
activity.
Scores of workmen are busy shaving
the grass, clipping the hedges and tend
ing to the flowers, shrubs and trees
which have made the grounds noted for
their beauty. To the tinkle Of hum
dreds of shears is added the noise OF
hammers and saws as the carpenters re-
pair the older buildings and build an
nexes> and new buildings for the
fifteenth annual Fair which will be held
this year September 80, Oct. !, 2, 8.
And if the experience Of the past
month is any guide, the new buildings
will be taxed to their utmost to hold the
increased exhibits. for Mr.. j F. Seld-
omridge, the hustling Secretary of the
Fair is already kept busy answering re-
quests for information from prospective
exhibitors.
Altogether, it looks as though this
year Fair will surpass even that Of last
year which had been regarded as the
high water mark of the Association.

1t is now possible to bring small
quantities of certain vegetables from the
districts under the quarantine against
the Japanese beetle, without having
them confscated. This does not mean
that vegetables viii not be inspected by
agents who stop all vehicles on the road
leading from infested area, but if they
are found to be free of contamination.
they will not be confscated as hereto
fore. The new instructions refer to
lettuce, tomatoes. oranges, lemons,
grape fruit, apples. pears, plums,
peaches, and vegetables without heads,
such as radishes, onions, etc.
The Japanese beetle is almost un-
amiously conceded to be the worst
blight that has eff1icted this country foa
many years. 1t is claimed that it was
brought to this country in shipment Of
trees from Japan to a nursery in Burl-
ington, New Jersey. 1t spread SO fast,
destroying everything in its path that
the most stringent measures were
necessary.
