 sterdam Passenger Service

MOSCOW, Nov. 27.-A Russian owned Zeppelin may fly from Murmansk across the Polar regions to Nome, Alaska, next spring in an effort to chart q regular passenger route between Amsterdam and San Francisco by way of Leningrad, Archangel, Yokohama and Nome.
 The soviet union state planning com mission is considering the air project, which originated in Germany.
 According to the estimates, the jour ney between Amsterdam and Yokohama would require but seven days, compared with the present 30.
 The cost of the trip by air would be approximately 30 per cent more than first class steamship passage. The Zep- pelins proposed would accommodate 100 passengers.

 Thousands Of Visitors And Home Folks Mix Good Naturedly With Goggle-Eyed Students

ture footballs, did a land office busi' j-less. At Twentieth and Second, one enthusiastic reveler purchased the en. tire stock of the old salesman with the sweep of ten-dollar note. One local picture house, which has always been popular with the Tuscaloosa body, was threatened with near-riot and which perhaps, made the management wish he was not so popular. One of the dance halls reported few students who overzealously attempted to turn the floor into a basketball gymnasium. But all in all, it was a good-natured bunch well-received.
 q can prove" asserted one student to the world at large in front of the Brown-Marx building, "that Alabams can beat Harvard by 37 points, Yale by IA points, and a combination of All American players by at least touch down for a thin dime, one-tenth of oui country's financial unit.
 Paid No Attention
 Georgia Tech beat the Navy. We beat Georgia" he droned over and over but nobody in the scores that pushed passed the building paid any attention to him. It was really not necessary nearly everybody agreed that Alabams could defeat Harvard, Yale and the combination with the greatest ease pos sible-why waste time on platitudes.
 There were not only undergraduate in the crowd, even though the benefit of the doubt is accredited to some mid dle-aged men. There was considera ble number of girls, those colorful girls which, next to the goals, feature all Thanksgiving Day games. Adjectives to describe such visitors--if they were visitors-in their furs and whatnots are far inadequate. Let it suffice to say that they were just typical football | girls.
 Without great degree of doubt, Bir minghara experienced one of its "bie days" Thursday and also one of its "bie nights."' Never since Wilson was elected, or was it the Armistice, that the populace has turned out so whole heartedly and given itself over so relig- iously to the exotic influences of cele' bratlOn.

Dope Bucket Is Complete ly Overturned By Tri- umph Of Crimson TECH LICKS AUBURN IN ' TO 0 MATINEE PrognosticatOrs Find Sur prises In Sewanee
 Triumph FLORIDA GALLOPS TO 10 TOO VICTORY Reverses Advance Judgment By Walloping Drake Of
 Chicago

The University of Alabama sat on top of the world last night, the undisputed cham pion of the Southern Confer ence by virtue of the crush ing 33 to 0 blow it's hard-hit- ting eleven dealt the Univer- sity of Georgia Bulldogs at Redwood field before the largest and most coortul crowd that ever saw a game of football IF Alabama.
 Alabama not only wrecked Georgia's hopes, but gave the old dope bucket the worst spill of the season. The tide went into the Turkey Day title battle with the odds against it and with the sporting gentry even spotting points. Georgia's goal line had not been crossed by a conference foe, and it had given Yale the scare of its life. Center only a week aga had smashed Rama, lI to 0. and Georgia came to town all set to take the Champ Pickens trophy.
 Line Holds In Pinches
 But the red-jersied boys from Tusca- loosa tore into the widely touted Geor- gia squad with a vengeance that was not to be denied. Its flashy backs rip red off first down after first down its line always held in the pinch, and great reels of yardage were clipped off through the air. Georgla never had chance. That field goal which 'Bama scored early in the opening quarter ap- peared to take most of the pep out of the Athens team, and after that it was only a question of how many points Coach Wallace Wade's charges would run up.
 Given Clean Sweep
 The Tides victory gave it a clean sweep of it's conference schedule. Its reverse at the hands of Center dosen't count, as the Colonels are not ill the conference.
 Georgia's team left immediately after the game for Danville, where it meets Center Saturday in the seasons night cap. A win by the Kentucky eleven would give it the unprecedented champ ionship of the south, while a win by Georgia, which now is unlocked for, would merely serve to make trouble for the sporting writers.
 Although major interest in the Thanksgiving scraps was focused on the Birmingham title battle, half-dozen other games in which conference teams figured were played, some of them again smashing the dope and leaving the wiseacres completely dazed.
 Sewanee smothcred Vanderbilt, 1G to 0, in game that gave the dopesters as great a surprise as the Alabama Georgia result.
 In Atlanta, Tech squeezed through a z to 0 win over Auburn in what re- ports say was one of the fierest mat inees of the whole season. Georgia had previously defeated Auburn by the same score, but Rama and Auburn did not meet.
 In it's intersectional battle with Drake, Florida galloped to 10 to victory, again reversing the advance judgement of the dope artists. The Chi

PLENARY MEET OF OPIUM FARLEY OPENS FRIDAY
Porter To Push U. s. Pro- pOsals For Control
 Of Drugs
(By Associated Press.)

GENEVA, Nov. 27.-Public interest in Geneva centered tonight on the plenary meeting of the international opium conference which is fixed for to- morrow afternoon. At this session Stephen G. Porter, the American dele gate, is expected to fight out on the floor the question of his reservations touch ing the American proposals. MT. For ter today asked the convocation of q plenary meeting to discuss two points in the American program which were ob- pected to as being outside the agenda of the conference. The objection was made by the delegate from India when the agenda was being considered by the business committee.
 One point refers to the total prohibi- ton of the manufacture and distribution of heroin. The other concerns chiefly the production of opium and India has opposed it because she deems it would have effect of stopping the growth of opium in India, which is eaten by the natives.
 Urges Control
 An American proposal which Mir. Por- ter desires incorporated in the new con- vention would control production and distribution both of raw opium and coca leaves so that there would be no surplus available for purposes not strict iy mendical or scientific.
 An exception is provided for raw opium which is needed for those coun- tries where opium smoking is temparar- Ely permitted under The Hague conven- ton. The first opium conference, which is still dragging OH, was supposed to de- wise a plan for ending all smoking in the far east within a specified time, but it has failed to take any action. The Americans want it stopped in ten years. They will make fight on this question at later stage of the present confer ence.
