the Tigers ran true to form in all four games, a feat which was not accom- plished in the prophecy of many elevens. The lone measure of hope in the breats of her supporters. the Auburn men state, was the low scores to which the Tigers held their opponents,
 Lack of offensive power has been at tributed to the inability of the Tigers to get into the win column in their quartet of big games. The Plainsmen were true to their traditions in fighting back opposing elevens va1iantly when they rapped at the door of the goal, but were never able to muster sufficient offensive stl lgth to score with any consistency.
 To Suggest Means
 Local alumni will attend the meeting Thursday with the idea of suggesting some means by which Auburn shall again be raised back to the pinnacle, or near the top, of the southern gridiron ladder, which the Tigers held for so long.
 MT. DeBardeleben stated that he expect ed one of the largest attendances of the county alumni in a long time, as he believed the situation warranted action by the alumni and that he thought the Auburn men felt the need sufficiently to be present. In addition, large rep resentation from various sections of the state will likely be present, it is thought, and plans are being made for a moster affair. It will be held in the auditorium of the chamber of commerce, which is situated on Fifth avenue.

They undoubtedly had the hardest schedule in the city, which included games with Tech high of Atlanta, Bes- semer high, and Sidney Lanier of Mont gomery, besides Phillips and Woodlawn.
 With only limited number of these warriors returning, those out at Ensley are wondering what. kind of success their men are going to have next year. This afternoon these gridmen will select captain for next year.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The frontiers of football, propelled by ever increasing popularity, are limited now only by the nations natural boundaries.
 Analysis of attendance figures from all parts of the country for the 1921 season, witnessing the greatest crowds of any year in gridiron history, shows that the east, original stronghold of the game, no longer has a monopoly o'l popular interest, which has spread with astonishing rapidity through the west and south.
 The Pacific coast sector, where SOO.' 900 persons altogether saw four con- ference championship races, furnishes startling item of proof of the games growth in the record crowd of 5000 which saw Stanford and California bat. tie to a tie. This mark etlipsed by 10000 the next highest figure, SO.OOO, at the Army-Navy game in Yale bowl, which held the precious record.
 A record crowd for the Army-Navy classic, 78.000. saw the service rivals clash at Baltimore, while other high maks of 75,OOO for the Yale-Harvard struggle at New Haven, fought out in drizzling rain; 68,O0O at the Michi. gan-Ohio State game at Columbus 67 ,OOO in the new Illinois stadium for the game in which "Red" Grange ran wild through Michigan; 56,OO0 at the Cornell Pennsylvania battle Thanks giving day at Philadelphia and 5O,OW at the Ca|ifornia-Southern California contest in the mammoth Berkley stadium.

HEATED DISCUSSION

R HARTFORD Conn.,, Dec. 2.-An old feud long simmering, boiled over at the opening session of the National Asso- ciation of Professional Baseball leagues tpdas when John Conway Toole, presi' dent of the International league, and John H. Farrell, secretary of the Ma tional association, clashed in an ar gument over consideration of the pro- posed amendments to the major-mlnos league rulings.
 Criticizing Farrell for sending out fhe amendments to the minor league lnaehates before they had been acted on by the major leagues and charging that Farrell was a party to a persistent
 wilful' violation of the optional
 agreement, Toole voiced viz
 protest against the practice of
 ajor leagues in ignoring the pres
 bf an agreement.
 debate started when John D
 D, of Memphis, president of the
 lrn association, moved that the
 ed amendments be shelved as 6
 without consideration until they
 eted On by the majors.
 Long Discussion
 After a long and heated discussion ir which proved to be a virtual attack on Farrelfs administration was made by Toole, the magnates voted to lay the 1MttAr over until tomorrow.
 Every year since 1921 the major 1eagiies have violated the major-minor optional player agreement by placing as many as 15 players out on option to s-,ainCr league clubs when our rules specifically state that the limit is eight, Toole said. "You are secretary of our aational association and it is your busi ness to check this flood of illegal op' tions.
 "I have persistently written to your office and to the office of Judge Landis to find out how many players have been placed in the International league on option but I have never been giver q satisfactory answer.
 How many players on option were 1T eur Jeague last year?" asked Toole oi Fatfell.
 dsA't know; I didn't count them, |rell

 HIS your business as secretary ot eur association to count them and lei ! us know how we stand" Toole retort cd. e"Why didn't you stop the flow o such. deals when eight had beer peached?"
 To which Farrell replied "All play CTS fn your league on option above eight are there because Judge Landis ruled that the majors were within thell , sights to dispose of 15 players in thi' snanner and I don't feel that l have Gie authority to overrule Judge Ian dis"
 Twenty-one leagues were represented ct today's session.
