CRIMSONS HAVE BIG OPPORTUNITY Win Over Tech Would Put Them On Grid
 iron Peak v~

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 22.-The Crimson Tide of, Alabama, seeking vic tory over the. Georgia Tech eleven in Atlanta this coming Saturday, will leave the Capstone about 9 o'clock Thursday night for the Cracker City.
 Wallace Wade will take a squad of approximately 23 players to the Cracker City in an effort to stop the winning streak of the Golden Tornado. The squad will include six men who will make their last fling against the Torna- do, and three men who will probably see their first service against Tech. Five of the six men who will end their football season at Alabama this year will probably start against Coach .Nlexanisf's eleven. Whitaker, Propst, McC Clintock, NCompton and Langhorne are just about certain to start. Oliver, the sixth. Is apt to display his wares later in the day.
 Three New Ones
 The three new men who will probably | face Tech for the first time are Dave RosenfeId, Herschal Caldwell and "Sher- lock" Holmes. Rosenfeld's great exhi- bition of open-field running has placed him in the hmelight of Alabama backs. Able to run with his head as well as
 
 one of the most dangerous backs in the south in his first year of 'versity play. Caldwell. on end and Holmes at center are prohlenatical.
 The Wademen are being given a chance 70 virtually assume the peak p0- sition in southern football by beating Tech. Dope has Alabama trailing Tech, Georgia and Tulane in the experts standing now, but defeat of Tech | would raise them to the front. And Q defeat of Tech would make them work uH the more harder when Centre and Georgia are :. to be played later in the season. :. u. Big Pep Meeting
 Another monster pep meeting was held Wednesday night in front of the gymnasium with speeches being made l.y President Denny. Coach Wade, Coach Cohen an Crisp and members of the Crimson Tide. Several hundred students were present to show their ambition to wreck Tech"
 There's not a tree on the campus nor any other suitable posting place | that has not large sign on it with words written 'Let's get Tech" Ev(Ey word heard radiates that one wish. But, beneath it all. is the wonderful mystery of football which tells all no one ever knows how football games will turn out.
 Face Hard Task
 Alabama faces as hard a task Satur- day in the Tech melee as she will face again this seson Techs victory over Penn State this past Saturday, her tie with Florida and her defeat of Ogle- thorpe and V. M. l. and her reputation for greatness makes her all the more formidable. And the fact that Tech beat Alabama so bad two years ago and scored so many first downs against the Crimson eleven last year also makes it a harder task.
 But the .Cffmsons plan sthrtfng the game with a determination to win if such is possible. They have a line that averages about POO pounds from tackle to tackle and a. backfield that is versa tile and speedy. They have the morale to win, the confidence in themselves, hut are not oYer-confident. And they face an eleven equally confident, equally good on the defense and equally possess ed with good backs.
 So, take your choice-says the Cap StnIln
