PRE- SEASON
FAVORTE IS
DIXIE LEADER
Alabama Did Not Fare so
Well at Start, But
Oiled up
B. GARRETT D. HORNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
ATLANTA, Nov. 24.-(UP).-
The fact that a preseason title
favorite has emerged as the lead
er in the Southern Conference
football campaign after series
of reversals that threw a dark
horseint the saddle at midsea-
son seems worthy of comment.
Alabama, you recall, was rank
ed in preseason dope as a CO.
favorite with Tennessee to cop
the first championship in the new
Bakers Dozen" conference, with
many observers believing the
crown hinged on the Alabama
Tennessee clash Of October 81.
Georgia was hardly considered
of championship calibre before
the season got under way. The
Bulldogs were believed potential
ly strong, but they were untried
and given clark horse" rating,
Alabama disappointed the ex-
perts in its first conference game,
being held to a 90 tie by Mis-
sissippi, result which appeared
to eliminate them from the title
chase.
Georgia. meanwhile, sailed
through its early campaign to win
seven victories, two of them with
in the conference, and after the
Florida game of November APP
peared the best bet for the cham
pionship.
But the Georgia eleven ran in
to an inspired Auburn team last
Saturday and was showed off the
road leading to the throne room
by the convincing score Of 14-6.
After that setback in the Mis-
sissippi game, Alabama developed
a smooth-working attack and de-
Tense and now has won four con-
ference contests and appears al
most certain to bear out the eX-
perts' preseason doping by beat
ing Vanderbilt on Thanksgiving
day to clinch the conference
crown.
The Alabama crew survived its
Tennessee test in good fashion,
eliminating the Vols by the one
touchdown margin Of 1876. They
already had counted an 1876 vic
tory over Mississippi State, and
came along to bowl over Ken
lucky 200 and take a hard
fought win from Georgia Tech
last Saturday, 1919.
On the outside chance that
Alabama might be upset by Van
derbilt Thanksgiving day, there's
possibility of l.. S. u, the only
other unbeaten team in the con-
ference, claiming the title. But
that's a very rare possibility when
you consider that L.S.U. would
have to beat both Tulane and
Tennessee to do it.
And since L.S.U. also has a tie
on it's record, a Vanderbilt VIC
tory would clinch the champion
ship for Alabama, the team that
came back.

BIG CORN YIELD
REPORTED HERE

Austin Podesta, resident of the
Kanuga road has achieved some
thing of a record for corn grow
ing in Henderson county with the
production of 40 bushels of corn
on a strip of land 80 by 200 feet
which was under cultivation the
past summer, at his home.
Mr.. Podesta's plot, roughly Z
II of an acre, produced at this
rate approximately SO bushels
per acre. Yellow Dent corn was
grown and the ground had pre-
viously been given a cover crop
of crimson clover, which was
turned under and the land after
ward lined before the corn was
planted. Many of the ears, it is
reported, were of unusual size.

National Theatre
Plan To Be Laid
Before Roosevelt
By RUBY A. BLACK

Tonyr;1bf 1o22 hy II p


WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. (UP)
Plans for national theatre will
be laid before President Roose-
welt as the result Of discussions
between Mrs. Roosevelt and Eva
lie Gallienne.
Mrs. Roosevelt told the United
Press that Miss lie Gallienne's
long-cherished dream Of estab-
fishing a national theater so
greatly interested her that she
had asked the actress-producer to
return later to discuss the pos
sibilities with the president. Miss
lie Gallienne, founder and direc-
tor of the civic repertory thea
ire, in New York city was the
guest of Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House this week.
Miss lie Gallienne proposes a
national theatre to give great
plays at low prices, regardless Of
whether they are box office suc-
cesses. She is particularly inter-
ested in presenting plays for the
young to "develop the habit of
beauty in Them" Miss LIE Gal
lienne told Mrs. Roosevelt. She
referred to her memory Of her
own childhood in Denmark and
France, where even the poorest
children could see the best plays.
Miss lie Gallienne now presents
a play at the end of, each season
in New York, without charge for
children who have never bfore
seen plays.
Mrs. Roosevelt expressed great
interest in the plans for develop
ing dramatic appreciation in chill
dren and she is also deeply con-
cerned now over ways to provide
work for unemployed actors and
actresses. She has discussed this

PARROTS drinkin' pretty heavy.
Sometimes he doesn't show up
for the act. Finally they have q
big row and bust up. Tracy
knocks around by himself for
while and then joins Louie La
mont's orchestra. OF course you
know who Louie Lamont is! Well,
after while Tracy gets the idea OF
having his own orchestra. He gets
some boys together. That was
three years ago. I was with him
then and I've been with him ever
since. We played a couple of sea-
sons in vaudeville and then he
got this offer to come to the
State. Most Of the boys in the
orchestra live around here but |

right hand. holding them firmly

and begins pumpin' his arm. It's
this Joe Parrott! Tracy tries to
get rid Of him but Parrott says
he's got to see him private. OF
course I know that means a touch
so I hang around.
"Then the little fellow gets
sore. He asks Tracy for job and
Tracy says nothfn' dom. Then
he asks for $50. Finally he gets
it down to $40. Well. Tracy
gives him a couple OF bucks and
tells him to keep away from the
theater.
"But the little fellow doesn't
keep away. He's back the next
morning and the next afternoon.
He's bad actor. this Joe Parrott.
He meets Tracy out in the alley
and he makes more trouble,
Tracy gets good and sore this
time and tells Parrot that II he

cops on him. Tracy tells me
about it and says he's worried be-

Tracy told me he was goin' to go

to turn him over to the police.

1t had been a long story and It
ended as abruptly as, It had be-

the honesty of the emotion that
made Drugan's voice die away, al.
most to a whisper.
There was a pause and then
Gainey said, Il suppose you've
told the police all this?"
"I've told them to find Joe Par

killed Tracy" Drugan said slow
ly. "He's the only enemy Tracy
had in the world. But the police
have a 10. of theories Of their

There was sarcasm in Drugan's
voice. Tracy showed me that
letter when 1t came" he went on.
IAN laughed at 1t. He thought
somebody was kiddin' him. What
else could it mean? He'd never
