 FOR TECH GAME
Crimsons Should Be In
 True Shape For .,. ,, Big Battle. s


 UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 20.-(Spe- cital. 1.-Two Crimson football teams, both fresh from victories this past weekend, settled down into four days of practice Monday afternoon for an invasion of foreign fields this coming Saturday. .t.s The Tidemen, was defeatel Sewanee in Birmingham Saturday, face their toughest foe of the year ia Atlanta in the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, a team as yet undefeated this season and holding wins over Penn State. Ogle- tho -pe and V. NJ. l., and a tie with Florida. The freshmen eleven journeys down to New Orleans for crack at the Tulane freshmen, heralded as strong yearling lift. trt
 With two such elevens to be played, the Crimson mentors hustled their re- spectiVe ,elevens to, practice Monday afternoon and put them through more thah the usual limbering up process of Mondays. Both team signals with snap and precision that showed they wa.'i to be on edge for the Saturday games. Much bunting and passing was done. Many, many unexpectedly two elevens-were used by both teams.
 Few Comments
 Coach Wade made few comments on the game. against Sewanee- this past week end. The Crimsons won but failed to show the form that many of them expected to show. The work of little Rosenfeld was extremely gratify- ing to the tell tutor. Several faults of Saturday were discussed and correc- tions made. The Crimson machine should be in prmie condition for the Tech game.
 Over on the freshmen lot, Coach Van degraff discussed the victory against Marion with his yearlings and impressed upon them the feet that reports had the Tulane frosh eleven stronger than usual this year. The work of the freshmen was none too pretty last Friday and the team showed nothing at times that would class them as smooth-running eleven.
 The varsity is expected to leave for Atlanta sometime Thursday night. Practice on Cracker City field will probably he held Friday. The return to the CapstOne will be made later in the night or Sunday morning. The freshmen will probably leave Friday night and return Sunday morning.
 Students To Go
 Many hundreds of students will be on hand to see the Tech game. No ex- cuses will be given for the game, but that will not deter all those who are game. Very few will undertake the trip to New Orleans.
 Alabama's heavy line from tackle to tackle will be hard matter to pass this coming Saturday if the weather is the least cool. Two hundred pounders do not play their best when the weather is more fit for baseball than football and that was one of the reasons ad- vanced for the poor showing of the Crimsons at times Saturday. Little cool weather has graced the Capstone this year and the sun is beginning to tell on the heavy CrimsOns.
 Tn Good Shape
 All men are expected to be in the best of condition unless injuries suffer- ed this week in practice occur. Pete" Camp, the towering guard, is expected to be able to take his place alongside of Jones if Coach Wade wants him to play The backs should be at their best.
 No one at Alabama is optimistic enough to believe that the Capstone eleven will find easy goings at Tech this weekend. No one is predicting a vic tory very loud. The Crimson players are regarding it as the fifth game on their schedule and are going to try as | hard, and little bit harder, to take the Tornado in tow this season.
 It must be remembered that five CrimsOns are taking their last crack at the Tech eleven and anyone can imagine what q sweet memory it would be to think of their final year as a member of an Alabama eleven with a victory over Tech included.
