EAST IS LOSING GRID PRESTIGE Middle West Triulnphs In Five Of Seven
 Games
lRy Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Eastern elevens, unless they show q reversal of form in the remaining games, face the prospect of losing the inter-sectional football laurels they held by such a decisive margin in 1923.
 So far, the east has woAl nine out of 15 games with inter-sectional op- ponents, but seven of these victories have been earned at the expense of southern teams, while against the mid dle west, where the rivalry has always been keenest, the Atlantic seabOard can show only two triumphs in seven starts.
 Thus, while the south apparently has been mastered, the crown seems likely to pass to the middle west, whose charge has been led, as in 1923, by the brilliant Notre Dame outfit, conqueror of Army and Princeton. The Hoosiers played virtually lone hand year ago against rivals of this region but they have had able support in the 1924 in ter-sectional fight.
 Gets Help .e
 Eebraska's victory over Colgate, Chi cagos triumph over Brown and the LrOuQClnB duIuluISIer6u Dy MuEQuctIe to the Navy have helped to settle more of the middle vests old scores and more than offset the victories hung up for the east by West Point in down. ing St. Louis and Detroit universities.
 There seems scant hope for the east to retrieve it's prestige in the eight in- tersectional games of importance re- maining on the schedule, for the power ful Marquette eleven figures in two of them, against Boston college and Yer mont, while Notre Dame tackles Car negie Tech in another.
 Against the south, however, the east has gained the verdict seven out of eight times So far, Georgia 'Tech hang ing up the only triumph for the terri tory below the Mason and Dixon line by defeating Penn State. Yale has talk en Georgia and North Carolina into camp, Harvard and Pennsylvania both scored over Virginia, while Penn State conquered North Carolina State and Syracuse downed Mercer and William and Mary.
 Next Saturday the principal inter- sectional games in which the east is in- volved find Washington and Jeffer- son battling Detroit and Boston college meeting the Haskell Indians.

AUBURN WORKS
 :. FOR BIG GAME
Pruitt Still Out Of Tiger
 Line-Up In Practice For Vandy

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. @.-(Speclal) Tuesday, afternoon found the Auburn Regulars battering away at the scrub outfit from an offensive position. The first stringers headed by Captain Law renee pounded heavily at the White Jerseyed outfit and after the scrimmage got underway realized some yardage. After the fray was half over the pony backs wefIt in to try their hands at the art of advancing the ball and Allen and Harrison got away with several nice gains. Practically all the regular line was replaced also as the scrimmage pro gressed.
 Among the Pitts delegation to get into the fray was "Swede" Sitz, veteran tackle who made his first appearance in a scrimmage in ten days or Lore. The Etowah lad is having his best season this year and his return to the lineup will boost Auburn stock. "Red' liar kins held down the tackle job, formerly held by Sitz, last Saturday and proved to be gallant performer indeed. Harkins played slashing game, got every play and though he may be out weighed by other tackle occupants the red-haired Bessemer lad, in all possi- bilities, will be seen quite a great deal on the front lines during the remainder of the season.
 Pruitt Still Out
 "Hardboy" Pruitt remained on the casualty list through Tuesdays workout and for the second day this week did not appear in uniform. As the weeks grind progresses the chances of the ap- pearance of the third and trusty end against the Commodores lessens. Pruitt | s., hns hw hn tingent at the gymnasium for a severe charley horse.
 Sturgeon Long, scrub team tackle, was promoted to varsity ranks effective Wednesday afternoon, according to an- nouncement made by the coaches today. Long, who tips the beams in the neigh borhood of 175, halls from Cullman county and played fullback on the Win ston County High school team at Double Springs. His work on the freshman team last year was significant of his ability as a grid performer and this year he has caused the varsity backs lot of trouble while defending his position on the scrub line. While tackle seems to be his natural position the north Ala bama gridder would feel at home at guard.
 Two Others Out
 Hagood and Sheridan are two other members of the squad that are not in shape to don the football outfit. With these exceptions and counting Pruitt out Tuesdays scrimmage revealed no in juries more notable than scratches or minor bruises. Z 2 \ ,.GS H. - 44

OLE MISS WILL
 BE CRIPPLED UP
Several Stars Out Of The Game With Alabama
 Next Saturday

UNIVERSITY, Miss, Oct. 29.- Special )-The University of Missis- sippi football team will be forced to face Alabama, its strongest opponent, Saturday minus the services of several of it's best performers. Injuries sus- tained in the Arkansas game and the Mississippi Aggie clash will keep Ole Miss gridders out cf the game.
 Delma Simmons, end, sustained se- we're injury on his left arm in the Ra- zorback tilt and will not be ready for service until the Sewanee clash. John Muslin, end, was injured also in the Arkansas game, and he may be out of the Alabama clash. Jimmie Totten, half, is still limping from a bad ankle hurt in the A. and NJ. game, and will not be in the varsity lineup for the coming tilt. Martin who was injured at Little Rock and Biles who wrenched his knee at Jackson will likely be ready to go against the Crimson Tide.
 Harder Work
 Coach Barnard stiffened his work outs this afternoon, and the squad will go through scrimmages Wednesday aft ernoon. Only one or two scrimmages will be staged before the journey to Montgomery, and the Red and Blue mentor will run no chances of crip- bling his team further.
 The game will be played on neutral territory this season, and the Thin Red line will not have the advantage of the home gridiron to boost it's suprem- acy over Ole Miss. Crampton bowl, that scene of many athletic events, will be the place for the game Saturday.
 Alabama Has Edge
 In exuerience, results, and weight the Alabamians are classed better than the Mississippians, and the Red and Blue will be facing the potential con- ference champions Montgomery. Dope comedies victory to the Thin Red line but Ole Miss is determined to fight to the end to hold the charging backs of the Capstone. Mississippi will fight to the last minute of the last quarter, that may be counted upon. No matter what may be the turns of fac and the game, spectators will see one of the gam est teams of the south when the Red and Blue charges the Thin Red line.

COL TO
 PLAY 4 MIDST
 SILENT FANS

NTEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The silent
 TN cheer, never heard before at an
 American football game, will roll from the Columbia section of the spectators stands when Colum- bias team plays Cornell at Ithaca Saturday afternoon.
 As the Columbia players fight to vindicate the teachings of Percy Haughton, their coach, who died suddenly Monday afternoon, the students who attended the game will keep silence as a mark of respect for Haughton's memory. It will be in keeping too, with the almost re- hgious intensity of purpose which will drive the teal, for Columbia's players will go into the game be- lieving that they must win to make good for their dead coach.
 Cornell's students will receive a hint from Columbia and probably will remain silent, too. Haughton coached for two years at Cornell be- fore going to Harvard to establish the famous Haughton system of coaching.
 The flags around the football field at Ithaca will dangle from half 0tNhA' .,!-.-.-.

 The locals have already played four games this season and have come out of each contest with victory.
