CRIMSONS MEET
 OLE MISS. NEXT
Alabama's Lone Game In Montgomery To Be
 Next Saturday

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Oct. 27-(Spe- cial. )-Alabama today stands on the cliff looking over the field of southern elevens in their mad chase for the championship of Dixie. And, to the Cap stone mind, she is nearer that goal than any other eleven unless it is Georgia.
 Looking ahead somewhat, one sees Georgia and Alabama fighting it out on Thanksgiving Day at Redwood field for the championship of the south, just as Florida and Alabama fought it out last year through slush and mud. The out come this year will be different, say the CapstOners.
 'Bama To Speed Up
 From their high vantage point, the Tidesmen of Alabama see Ole Miss, Ken lucky State, Centre and Georgia in ther | path to the southern championship and the Champ Pickens trophy, now held by Vanderbilt. And if you don't believe that 'Bama's squad under Wallace is going to hustle, just watch lem in ac- tion from now on.
 There's no doubt but what Alabama has a long road to travel. Kentucky State and Georgia are the teams to be beaten, as Centre is an s. l. l. A. elev- en, but all three want to be defeated to hold the Crimsons high without any chance for any other eleven to creep in. And all three teams have something that is a threat.
 Plays Ole Miss
 Alabama plays Ole Miss in Montgom- cry this weekend. The Crimsons should win by about three touchdowns. However, the fact that they are sup posed to win will not prevent the Grim sons from working as hard this week as 1 they worked last week. No chance is being taken against anyone at the Cap stone. It will be as bad to lose to Ole Miss as it would have been to Union.
 Folks down in Montgomery were somewhat skeptical about the Tidesmen after the Sewanee game. "They lack something" was heard on all sides. Here's hoping those who saw the Se- vance game and were dissatisfied saw the Tech game. If they were not sat isfied then-they can't be satisfied.
 The game against Ole Miss will be the only appearance at Montgomery of the Tidesmen this year. The game against Ole Miss should be interesting as a great many of the scrubs will prob ably be used if the going gets too tame for the regulars. But the capital city fans should turn out to show their ela- tion over the strength of the Alabama team.
 Plans are now being laid to entertain one of the largest crowds ever before on Homecoming Day, November 8. New stands on each end of the field are be- ing erected, so as to increase the seat ing capacity for the game. Kentucky State is coming down with an inten- tion of whipping the Tidesmen and the game should be interesting throughout Kentucky beat Sewanee Saturday, 70.
 Special trains will be operated from all parts of the state to Tuscaloosa Alumni have been writing for the past several days to Tom Garner that they would be here on that day. And the victory Saturday over Tech is certain to make a great many come that had not
 The Rama freshmen, who Saturday defeated the Tulane yearling outfit also returned to the CapstOne and pre- pared to start work for their second game of the year Saturday. The fresh men played Saturday as if they intended winning another southern championship for Coach Van de Graaf, according tc reports.
