E RANK HUssEY, the eastern
 schoolboy sprinter, is regarded as
 the one athlete capable of reduc- ing the 1O0-yard dash record to nine and two-fifths seconds.
 Hussey is the most promising sprint CT in the country. He has shown re- markable speed. He cal sprint 100 wards under ten seconds. He is being trained judiciously; brought along care fully, schooled intelligently and all with that aim in view.
 Some people believe Hussey will set new world record in the century sprint, while others do not believe that he ever will. There are a good many athletic experts who are certain that no hu- man being will ever cover 100 yards In nine mad two-fifths seconds.
 Hussey will be an experiment. He stands as a test of the American sys- tenn. Criticism in the past has been that we burned out our young sprinters. This is unquestionably true. There have been many boy marvels over the sprint distances. Stupid handling by high school coaches ended their careers before they reached college. As high school performers they gave every prom ise of becoming sprint champions. They were eagerly sought by colleges and unic versailles, but by the time they were eligible for intercollegiate competition they were burned out.
 They are training Hussey differently. He is heinz coached with past disasters in mind. Those handling him will see that he will not be burned out. They are conserving his ability.
 
 Those that pick Hussey to run 100 yards in nine and two-fifths seconds base their prediction on the handling that the boy is receiving. They are convinced that some of the others would have beaten the present world record if

 ALABAMA PRACTICES
Wade Giving Tide Plenty Of Action In Prepara
 tion For Centre Game Here

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 12.-f(Spe- cial. .)-The Crimson Tide of Alabama is preparing for its second invasion of the Magic City, this invasion to pit them against the strong eleven from Danville, Ky, the Centre Colonels.
 Knowing the Colonels are out to upset the championship aspirations of the Tidesmen, Coach Wallace Wade and his genial assistants are covering every possible phase of the grid game in their practice of the Tidesmen this week. If any phase is not dwelled upon for some time these few days, 1t will be through no fault of the coaches.
 Big Pep Meeting The Crimson student body plan to have one of their monster pep meetings here again Thursday night. Several speeches are to be made. The band will play. Moving pictures taken of the Kentucky Alabama game last Saturday will be shown. The three assistants, who have been carrying on the cheer-leading under the direction of Ham" Perkins, are going to spring lot of new yells and acts Saturday. And Perkins, Allen and Macon are going to pull some good ones.
 Alabama is working hard this week. Asked by a student what they were doing out at Denny Field, Captain Hubert replied that they were tackling a little, blocking a little, running punts some, catching passes some, running signals, scrimmaging a bit, charging some and running interference some. That was about all he could think of, he said.
 Team In Good Shape

 "I feel" he added, "that I have been treated unfairly. When I was signed to meet Paul Berlenback recently in the garden, agreed to fight Gene Funny if I beat Berlenbach. However, Der lenbach refused to enter such an agree ment and the commission punished me by recommending that I be refused a license to appear in New York for a year,"

MIXED MATCHES
 NOT APPROVED

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Tex Rick ards little scheme of holding mixed matches in order to stage a revival of the fighting game in New York has already met with disapproval.
 The New York boxing commission is reported to look with disfavor upon the Gibbons-Norfolk battle scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden on December 8 as a Christmas fund benefit for the poor.
 While no official statement is forth coming it is said that the commission considers it a poor match and would prefer to have Gibbons meet Tunney.

SEABOARD SCHEDULE
CHANGE CONSIDERED
Chamber of Commerce Working
TO Maintain Adequate Serv-
ice Over That Line

Secretary Henry p. Everett, OF
tbe Chamber of Commerce is
working to maintain adequate ser
vice on the Seaboard Air Line into
Americas, despite a pending appli-
cation to Discontinue operation Of
the "Shoo Fly" trade train. Al
ready he has enlisted the co-opera-
ton of several mayors Of towns be-
tween Helena and Columbus, ana
chambers of commerce located
Aalong the line now served by the
"Shoo Fly"
The Public Service Commission
of Georgia has advised Secre-
tary Everett that a hearing upon
the petition of the Seaboard will be
held at Atlanta beginning at 10 a..
m. on September. At this hearing
it is hoped to have Americas as
well as a member of other points
affected by the proposed change
represented by a substantial dele
cation. A compromise agreement
permitting the discontinuance of
the "Shoo Fly" and the re-arrange-
ment of existing schedules may be
reached at this hearing.
The Cordele Chamber of Com
merce has a proposition to submit
involving the discriminate of the
present through train operated
between Montgomery and Savan-
nah. east of Richland and the con-
tinued operation of the Seaboard
"shoo Fly" between Columbus
and Helena. This involves the in
auguration of a night train betwee-.
Savannah and Montgomery.
Another plan is to have the pres
emit through service discontinued al
together, except with an involved
lav-over at Americas. This con
templates the operation Of the To-
cal trade trains into Americas each
morning from both directions, the
present "Shoo Fly" coming here in
the morning from Helena and re-
turning there the same afternoon,
and a similar trade train operating
between Hurtsboro, Ala, and Amer
icus making a round trip daily, ar
irving at convenient morning hour
and departing during the after
noon. A night through train be-
tween Savannah ad Montgomery
might also be operated either as q
combiation train or as fast
through train carrying Pullman
sleepers and operating between
Montgomery and Charlestown S. c.
J. W. Small, division passenger
agent of the Seaboard, has advised
Secretary Everett of his purpose
to call a meeting of representatives
of various points affected at an
early date to consider these pro-
posed schedule changes. This
meeting will be held at Cordela,
and it is assured that Americas will
be well represented at lie gather
ing. Seaboard officials, Nj. Small
says, are anxious to furnish a iull
measure of passenger service, but
the Shoe fly train rs at present
operated represents continuing
loss with service rendered both I'M
profitable and unsatisfactory alike
to railroad and patrons.
