A normal season might prove far
different. Our observation so far
indicates the setting forward of the
opening didn't help wildfoWlers and
that the same number of days in
January would be more worthwhile
There are several other regula-
tions to which We take exception
and hope they might be eased some
what in 1912.
One is the pm closing hour
which We believe could be extended
another hour so that hunters would
have more chance of getting their
daily bag limit.
Extra Hour Wouldn't Hurt.
It has been said the season Is
predicated on 10-bird limit for so
days. which would mean every
waterfowl hunter is entitled to 900
birds for the season. That hardly
can be accepted. for there are few
who hunt more than 10 days in any
season
If the shooting did go along at
only 100 ducks per hunter, there
would not be enough to 90 around
and none to send back North next
spring for brood stock
One reason for advocating the 5
pm. closing is that approximately
one-third of the licenses issued each
year are for one or two days of
shooting. Another third will not
shoot more than five or six DAYS.
And hunters, if allowed that addi-
tional hour, would not cripple so
many birds because they would wait
for them to come within range.
Another change We would like to
see next year would be the lifting
of the restriction on whistling swan
in certain North Carolina counties
If just one was allowed each hunter
during the season it would not
jeopardize the species. In Curri-
tuck County the concentration is
so heavy one wonders how there
can be enough feed to sustain them
and the millions of other water
fowl.

By the Assoc ated Press.

ATLANTA. Nov. 11.-Alabama and
Georgia Tech, both growing tougher
as the football season rolls along,
collide at Birmingham Saturday in
a game that may topple one down
the Southeastern Conference ladder.
'Bama, after an early-season loss
to Mississippi State. has boWled
over Tennessee, Georgia. Kentucky
and Tulane in succession, while
Tech, after a midi October loss to
Vanderbilt. has whipped Auburn
and Kentucky.
The teams started their series in
1902, and since then Alabama has
won II and lost II. Three games
ended in ties. The Tide edged the
Engineers, 14-13, last year.
Our scouts" said 'Bama Coach
Frank Thomas, report that Tech
has been improving steadily and
that its running game is much bet
ter than last year.
For the past five or six years the
Tech game has been awfully tough
lOI US, dIlu L dill iullg d"dlC llIdl
they are cunning for us this year"
Thomas declared his team would
be in better physical condition than
in several weeks and. with the ex-
ception of Paul Spencer. injured
fullback, all players would be on
deck. Alabamas defensive line play
he said. was considerably improved
against Tulane last week
Bobby Dodd, Techs backfeld
coach, predicted Alabama would be
tougher than ever after beating Tu-
lane"
"A team always plays better when
it is winning and Alabama is no ex-
ception We expect to give them a
good game. They'll be tougher than
Duke. which beat us"
Dodd said he agreed with Coach
Wallace Butts of Georgia that Ala
bama would finish the season with
no more defeats.
Coaches spent most of yesterday
drilling the Engineers on passes, with
Johnny Bosch and Bobby Sheldon
throwing them long and short, and
accurately.
An operation for appendicitis re-
moved Dick McPhee, sophomore full
back. from the University of Georgia
squad yesterday for the remainder
of the season as the Bulldogs
