FIVE YARDS NOW M'CARTY'S NAME
Plunging Chicago Full Never Produced Less
 Against Illini

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.--Austin Me Carty, the 17s-pound Chicago fullback, who tore the Illinois line to pieces in the first period Saturday scoring touch down before the Illini knew what it was all about, was named Five Yards McCarty by his admirers today. His line plunges Saturday always delivered at least that much.
 McCarty's brilliant performances against the Illini revive the campus story of his suspension from the varsity eleven last season for ''cussing." The Maroons were in the midst of tough game against Purdue; everything they tried failed.
 Finally McCarty yelled:
 Gimme that football" puncturing the remark with couple of "cuss words"
 The quarterback called McCarty's line buck and he responded with twenty yards, starting a characteristic Maroon march for touchdown.
 But when Coach Stagg heard about the expletive McCarty stayed on the side lines for the rest of the season. Stagg never tolerates "cussing." ,

Alaban1u Mathematical
 Champion Of America

eleven of the country. But this is not necessary for the mathematical cham pionship is not worked out that way.
 'Bama Unbeaten
 This is the way that it is decided:
 Alabama so far this season has not lost a game. Its goal has been crossed but once and aside from all that it has piled up the largest total of scores of any team this year. It has crossed its enemies goal line for a total of 257 points in seven games.
 The championship may be carried still farther by addition and substrac- tion. Alabama beat Georgia Tech, IA to 0. Georgia Tech in turn defeated Penn State by margin of two points. That gives Alabama the edge of 16 points over Penn State, in the mathe- nautical championship race. Figuring further by, the same method we find that the southern team is 9 points better than the Navy, 19 points ahead of Princeton, better than Notre Dame, 53 ahead of Harvard, and through a roundabout manner it can be found that even the Pennsylvania team is in- ferior.
 Next to Alabama in the mathematical IOOLDuu race COuneS W cSL NlTSlIlld WkLu total score of 236. Rutgers comes third, just topping the double century mark with 201 points. The fourth place goes to Muhlenberg, in Pennsyl- vania, with. 199 points.
 Stevens Tailender
 In the mathematical championship, as in all such contests, there are tail enders as well as winners. At present this doubtful honor goes to Stevens with but points scored during the season. Vermont didn't have bit of luck all season. In the first game they scored an unlucky 13 points against Provi- dence and since then they haven't made a point.
 In the mathematical rating this is the way certain of the larger schools stand
 Dartmouth, 19s; Cornell, 195; Co., lumbia, 190; Illinois, 190; Pennsylva- mia, 1883; New Hampshire, 193, and Massachusetts Aggies, IFS.
 Harvard has totaled 56 points; Yale, 115; Princeton, 112, and Notre Dame. 171

By ROBERT D. LUSK (Leased Wire to Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-To the aver age follower of the great rah-rah sport there are but score or more universi- ties and colleges, mainly in the east, that are on the football map. Old Siwash, smalltown college, and hun dreds of others go about year after year producing football teams, never to be heard of beyond the limits of the grid iron on which they battle.
 This condition has been the result of the manner in which championships have been handed out in the past. How ever, now comes a new method of doling out the honors and Princeton, Harvard and the great schools of the east are sitting up and taking notice.
 Alabama National Champ
 The new honor is called the mathe- matical football championship of Amer ica. To the surprise of most the honor doesn't go to the Big Three, nor even to the Big Ten. For once in the his tory of the sport a small school has won, so far this season, the champion ship of America. The mathematical champion for 1924 is Alabama univer- sity.
 The mathematical football champion ship carries with it no cup. Walter Camp has never heard of it but despite all of this it is still high honor.
 Those who have never heard of Ala bama university may wonder bit about the selection. Most surely Alabama has never played Notre Dame, the Army, Princeton or even Pennsylvania, the team which many consider the leading

'BAMA PLAYS CENTRE
 NCRUCIAL CONTEST
,,rimsons Have Three Great Stars On Eleven
 Who Make Bid For All-Southern

many as the best back in the south to- day, And Propst as a center and Camp as a tackle are other outstanding Grim sons.
 .Propst, for the past two years, has been on the mythical eleven. His work this year has been just as good as in previous years and there's no doubt but what he is one of the big cogs in the 'Bama machine. On the defensive, he is a wizard at breaking up passes, throwing backs and plugging holes. He is good snapperback, and manages to open big holes for his backs to pass through. Propst, no doubt, will go on.
 Hubert Makes Bid
 Hubert on the offense and on the de- fense is good. He is really Alabama's quarterback, and as brainy an individ- ual as is on anyone's eleven. He can be ,:laced at quarterback, can be placed at halfback or. at fullback. But no one car fail to place him somewhere if they have seen him play or even read an account of any Alabama game. His gains have been consistent and his man ner of choosing his plays have featured his work this year.
 Camp, the third man, has seen serv- ice in all important games played this year. At a tackle, he has been power ful. Against Tech, he uncorked great game, and he repeated against Kentucky. In ali other games he has been the same fighting spirit. Camp weighs about PIP hounds and is fast for his size. This is his second year of varsity play and he is IS years old If good tackle is wanted Camp is the man.
 BrOwn-Rosey Good
 There are others on 'Bama's eleven that many think should be placed Mack Brown and Dave Rosenfeld have been as sensational in their playing as any one could expect, and their work against Centre and Georgia will be closely watched by experts. Bruce Jones and Jack Langhorne have also been going good. Pig" McClintock, on a flank, has proven a valuable man. Gillis and Whitaker have also stood out. Whit takers work on the defense and his great running of interference and block ing has played a prominent part in al- most every game.
 Centre and Georgia will tell the tale and that's why the Tidesmen are going in to do their best to trounce both teams and bring to Alabama the Southern championship.

 Strong Eleven Tuesday

four letter men of 1923 on the team this year.
 But the local coaches have built upa splendid team from available green ma- terial. The Poets have not lost game. but they have knotted the count with Tuscaloosa and Barton. Grove Hill, Wetumpka, Alex City and Cloverdale have been defeated.
 With the exception of Fullback Reeves, who has been out of the game for some time on account of an opera ton for appendicitis, the Poets will be able to throw their best team against the undefeated Ensley eleven.
 After Ensley has done its do, the fast Bessemer team will invade Montgomery Saturday of this week. The Bessemer boys were beaten by Ensley by only one point and are said to be in great condi- tion for the local engagement.
 Scores of students and other Ensley followers of the warriors of Jefferson county are expected to accompany the team to Montgomery tomorrow morning.

NURMI MAY NOT RACE W. RITOLA Two Finnish Stars May Be Running Different
 Distances
fBy Associated PreSs.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Prospects that the Olympic rivalry by Paavo Nurmi and Willie Ritola. famous Fin nish runners, would be renewed here during the indoor season received a jolt today when it was learned that Nurmi, during his forthcoming invasion, intends to limit hls performances to half mile and mile races instead of go- ing the longer distances favored by Ritola.
 Ritola, who recently returned to this country and plans an indoor campaign which he had hoped would give him a chance to compete against Nurmi, is at his best at distances of 5000 metres or three miles up. Nurmi has shown his ability to break records at dis tances of one to seven miles but over half mile and mile routes he would eliminate Ritola as a rival and find American talent as his only opposition.
 Feeling Between Stars
 Whether the feeling which in Paris last summer was said to have existed between Nurmi and Ritola has had any thing to do with the formers decision was not revealed in word received here. It was no secret, however, that the two Finnish stars were "out for blood" ev- cry time they met during the Olympics. Nurmi was always victorious but he was given his closest call in the five thousand metre event, when he fin ished a bare yard ahead of Ritola.
 Nurmi, however, who is a keen ath- letic student as well as a great per- former, is believed to have decided upon shorter races chiefly to run no risks of burning" himself out before giving

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 10.-Sid- ney Lanier's toughest game so far this season comes tomorrow when the fast stepping Ensley high griders take the field against the Poets in the only holiday game for the capital city. Ensley, which has swept aside a number of strong prep elevens this year, rules a big favorite. The Poets realize they are to butt one of the strongest aggregations in the state, combination that is mak- ing a strong bid for the state champion ship.
 Lanier's coaches sent their gridders through light practice today and re- port are tonight the squad is in good trim for the Armistice -oay contest. Ensley will outweigh Lanier consider ably, it is understood, and the Jefferson county huskies have been through more campaigns than the new squad of Poets. That the locals are firing their first guns in football is shown by the fact that 2S of last years squad are in col leges this year. In fact, there are but

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 10.-(Spe. ial. Crimson Tidesmen resumed practice at Denny field Mon-
 lay afternoon for their game against Centre college in Birmingham this com Ing weekend.
 The Tidesmen survived their struggle hgainst Kentucky State here Saturday In good shape, with no serious injuries resulting to any players. Practically every member of the squad saw serv- Ice for some few minutes in the game, hnd the reserve strength of the Ala bama team was well shown.
 Centre Beats Wildcats
 The Centre Colonels also hold de- eision against Kentucky, although the victory did not come by as large a score as the one earned by Alabama, But it must be remembered that Cen. Ire is gunning for the Crimsons and have been training this season for the go in the Magic City this coming Sat |urday.
 Alabama's student body, with their minds set on Dixie championship, will storm the Magic City to see their favor. lite clever march on to victory or de. feat. The Centre game will test the |very last ounce of strength that Ala |bama has, and Coach Wade intends working his men hard throughout this |week so as to have them geared in high flor the game And Crimson students are going to be on hand to lend their support to the Tidesmen, support (Which will mean much to the Tides men fighting on the field against the Prayin' Colonels.
 Alabama's victory against Kentucky was featured by many things-but none |stood out like the fine blocking of the Alabama eleven as a whole. When the |play was going for 'Bama, it seemed as If the rest of the team was downing kentuckians all over the field. They knocked 'em every way to make room for the man carrying the ball. And the brilliant runs of Mack Brown and Dave Rosenfeld were also features, features made possible by this blocking.
 Three Good Prospects
 Regardless of the outcome of the next three games, Alabama nominates three men today for the mythical all Southern eleven. These three men are Captain Pooley Hubert, Shorty Propst and Pete" Camp. Where Pooley can be placed in the backfield makes no. difference, but he is regarded by

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Abe Mitchell and George Duncan, comprising the British professional golfing team which left a trail of all-conquering pars and birdies across the United States in 1922, will encounter expert opposition at the start of their coming tour. They are scheduled to arrive in America next month.
 Johnny Farrell and Bobby Cruick- shank, recently teamed as representa- tives of Tampa in the winters golf com petition, will face the overseas stars in the first 36 hole battle of the invas- ion at Tampa on December z. A week later Mitchell and Duncan will en- counter Hagen and Sarazen at St. Au- gustine. The Britishers are sceduled to appear on the Pacific coast Decem- Der 20.

indoor racing his first real test.
 Nurmi holds the worlds outdoor mile running record of 4 10 2-5 but to those accustomed to think of him as long distance star only, it may be sur prise to know that he also has shown remarkable speed at a half mile. He was entered for the equivalent of this distance, 800 metres, in the Olympics but did not compete because of his de sire to concentrate on making a bid for the 1,5OO and 5000 metres titles in one afternoon. He was credited with having turned 800 metres in 1 :53 just before the Olympics.
 Nurmi will have plenty of opposi- tion at these distances. Kirby, Ray, Buker and Hahn, among the mile stars, probably will prepare for indoor cam paigns again while at half mile Watson, Enck, Helfrich and Larry Brown will be available in addition to Kirby, the Cornell star, who showed his versatility by capturing the national outdoor half mile crown.
 Nurmi was scheduled to sail from Findland last Saturday. If so, he would reach this country probably the latter part of next week.

nature Of the attack and call upon
them to resist and strengthen their
positions.
There is, however, one feature in
this LaFollette statement which we
feel compelled to protest against most
strenuously. 1t is the charge of bad
faith that he makes against the Com
munists. He says:
Their pretense that the Commun-
lists can work with the Progressives,
who believe in democracy, is de-
liberately to deceive the public. The
Communists are antagonistic to the
Progressive cause and their only
purpose in joining such a movement
is to disrupt it,"
Now, Senator, let's not get confused
because of a wrong Technology? This
situation demands above all clear
thinking, particularly on the part of
the workers. What do you under
stand by "progressives" and PRO
gressive cause?" Well tell you what
we understand by it. Generally speak
ing, a progressive is one who favOrs
and works for militant, aggressive
and fighting policy (methods Of strug-
gle and form Of organization) on the
part of the workers and poor farmers
against capitalist exploitation. More
specifically, and with regard to polit-
ical action, progressive is one who
earnestly, sincerely and militantly
fights for the formation of class
party of workers and poor farmers.
And, consequently, he who is in
different or opposed to independent
political action by labor; he who is
