schoolboys are well drilled in the
play.
Rod Clay, the 195-pound quarter
back of Dewitt Prep may develop
into the Vernon Struck" of the
battle on Sunday. This youth hits
a line as it should be hit. He is
swift and agile despite his weight,
and is adroit in handling the ball.
Lacey Denver is another who can
whirl and buck a line on Harvard's
deceptive spinner play.
Out of the single wing formation
may develop the Harvard deep re-
verse play that ripped off gain
after gain against Harvard and
didn't do Yale any great good,
either. Jim Draper has that three
star special of the Green thor
oughly charted. He says that the
reason Harvard didn't stop the
play was because Da rt m ou h
didn't announce in advance when
it was going to be used.
Carter Barron, president of the
Variety Club, under whose au-
spices this great game is to be
played, is smiling happily today.
This may violate a confidence,
but Carter thinks that the Geor-
gia tea m will win. In fact,
Brother Red" thinks that the
Georgia team will win, and we
might add that the sovereign
State of Georgia thinks that the
Monroe eleven will win.
"I had a letter from Brother
Red this morning" said Carter
Barron today. His team is primed
for the game and is coming up

win. It is a senior team, and

for it Is delivered from varying
angles and with more finesse than
is usual in the defensive charge
of guards.
The Alabama line today is a
much better line than it was a
month ago. Its development was
slow but certain. A line which
develops slowly and certainly, and
which reaches peak only in the
final games of the year, always
is a better line than one which
comes with a rush only to play
erratic football after reaching mid
season peak.
The forward wall of the Grim
son Tide can mete out punish
ment, and can take it without a
whimper. In down-the-field block
ing, a phase of football in which
most linemen are weak, Alabama
is strong. Let the Tide get Kill
grow, or some other back, into
the clear, and you will find Ryba,
Merrill, Monsky and other Tide
inemen down there to do their
chores.
There is no cause for anyone
to think Alabama'S ends are other
than strong. Their play through
a hard campaign proved that.
In the matter of reserve
strength in the line, Alabama is
well heeled, even for the most ex
acting football games.

dering that American onion to
distant bleachers. Now the mag
mates pay off on Lou Gehrlg S
30 grand, with a corresponding
slash alcng the line, causing the
coolie wages of ooday. In the
Ruthian era, mediocre players
received salaries for which out
standing performers of today
must write heart-rending letters
each spring.
II gather from your conVer'
sation that BABE knows all the
answers and catches on quickly.
He knows, at this late hour, that
the majors aren't going to offer
him a job. Instead of his boy
colt and other drastic hara-klrl
measures, I suggest another
means of bringing the moguls
to Mahomet. The Babe is finan-
cially independent, therefore his
desire to become a second guess
er must be caused by a mere
love of the game.
It suggest that he turn his
massive back on the majors and
accept a minor league post.
There the latch will be up and
welcome on the mat. Then he
can show his ability to handle
those hill-billieS and his inherent
knowledge of the game. Many
another fellow before him went
into the honky tonk circuits on
his way to the main tent. Among
this group are Joe Mccarthy,
Casey Stengel and oscar Witt. I
can hear the cry of Ruth is
Ruth and Witt is Witt and never
the twain shall meet, but I am
merely citing what can be done.
Ruth got off on the wrong
foot, or was poorly advised when
the idea of managing got in his
bonnet instead of those Boston
Bees. Asking Rupert, us it
going to be Mccarthy or me,
Jake?' was no treatise on tact
and diplomacy. Now, I believe
that he is barking up the wrong
baseline as he threatens to shun
the ball parks as he did a bad
ball up at the plate. No, no,
Babe, don't do that. If the fans
can't see you on the lines, give
them a gander at your powerful
shoulders in box seat.
Bill, can you imagine those
sun-kissed trailerites of Califor.
mia pushing through those turn
stiles in the Coast League to get
a peek at the one and only Ruth
hanging up the bunt sign, or the
hit-and-run sign? Wasn't it
Miller Higgins that said, I never
saw the big fellow do the wrong
thing on the ball field?
II hope that you will take this
letter in the spirit in which it
is intended. I am for the Babe,
but I think he should see the
handwriting on the wall, and
not antagonize the owners any
further. There is no doubt but
that he can hurt the game by
staying away, but he must not
be allowed to do that. With
kindest. personal regards, I am,
sincerely,
"FRE5Co THOMPSON"
