While the biggest Interest centers around the family squabbles, such as L. S. U.Auburn; Alabama-Kentucky; Vandy-Tech, and Florida-Georgia, other Southeastern members will be trying outside competition of real quality. Mississippi State Is booked for an attractive engagement at West Point. Tulane entertains Colgate's Red Riders In the Bouth's biggest mtertectional feature since Tale's Blue lost In the stadium dedication game to Georgia in 1929, and Tennessee trods the soil at Durham where Auburn last week ended the unbeaten home reign of the Dukes.

North Carolina's unbeaten blue and white meets Its greatest rival North Carolina State In the big feature of the Southern Conference tomorrow. There are a few other features scattered throughout Dixie, but the ones mentioned above are the cream of the week's crop. Ani this attractive Southern mena hardly will be overshadowed by the top features In ether sections of the country. WITHOUT TRYING TO EPLAIN IT ALL Louisiana State enters the Auburn game wjth a distinct advantage, playing at home before a "home-coming" crowd. Moreover, the Bayou Bengals have a more experienced team with more capable substitutions.

Sheer daring and fight, plus some of the long touchdown trots, can carry the Plainsmen to victory, but this seems to be too much to expect. Alabama may find Kentucky's forwards full of fight. If this Is true, the Tide will be In for a rugged scuffle. Some good line play In front of Johnson and Davis will mean points for the Wildcats, but Alabama's all-'round experience, despite the poor physical condition of the team, should tell the story. Tennessee has an edge on Duke, but the Devils are expected to come roaring Br ELMCK a SAL Tit Primed tor their hardest tune of the season, 11 Alabama Poly Tigers entrained from Auburn on th Piedmont limited Thursday night lor Baton Kougt and their founi Southeastern Conference Joust of the season with the Louisiana Bute Tigers Saturday afternoon.

Auburn will arrive In Baton Rouge a IltUe before noon today and will bave a light workout at Itger Stadium In the afternoon. The team stopped In Montgomery 15 minutes last night. Coach Meagher has taken very few risks this week and the Plainsmen will take the field against 8. U. In the outstanding game In Dixie this week In about the best physical shape they have been for a game this year.

None of the probable starters eame out of the conflict with Duke with Injuries any more serious than the usual game hurts and the ailing members of the second eleven are now In pretty fair physical fettle. None of the first 22 players hare missed a single practice In preparation for the Purple Tigers save Sophomore JtmmJe Pen ton, right halfback, who was 111 Tuesday. A triple-threat, Fen ton, who was a hero In the Duke fracas, returned to practice Wednesday and looked cone the worse from having the stomach ache. Scouts Ralph Jordan and Bat McCol-lum returned from the Purple Bengals' engagement with Vandy with reports that L. 8.

0. has a powerful running and potent overhead attack. Both Jordan and McCollum concurred In saying that L. 8. U.

probably has the best running and passing game Auburn will run up against this Fall, and Coach Meagher has given his contingent plenty of defensive work the last few days. All of the Plainsmen mentors have pent many restless evenings trying to perfect a defense for L. 8. U. Auburn's ends and tackles have especially been drilled on defense.

Auburn's offensive machine also has come In for an equal amount of drilling this week. With superior passing and ball-carrying oer last year when they were downed, 20-6, by L. 8. U. in a night scrap In Baton Rouge, and also more deception and speed in the backfield, the Orange and Blue Tigers have scored In each of their five contests this year.

In whipping Tulane, Birmingham-Southern, Kentucky, and Duke and losing to Tennessee, Auburn has allowed Its five first-half foes to score only 20 points. Both Auburn's defensive and offensive record for the first half of the "35 campaign Is remarkable and Is a mark that has startled America's football experts. Louisiana State Is the Initial opposition Alabama Poly will be pitted against by a November card that lists bouts with the Baton Rouge Tigers, Georgia Tech, Oglethorpe, Georgia and Florida. The Mea- ghermen are hopeful of astonishing the grid fans with several more amazing wins this season. Pleased with his starting team against Duke, Coach Meagher Is slated to have in his first lineup for S.

Hamp Williams will be at left end; Haygood Pat-erson, one of the greatest In the country, will be at left tackle; the vicious Frank Gantt, a punt-blocking fiend, at left guard; Walter Gilbert, who Is being hailed as the sweetest pivot player In the United States, at center; Sam MoCroskey, as dependable aj they come, at right guard; the rugged and consistent Bum-mie Roton at right tackle; the smart and clever Joel Eaves at right end; shrewd Sidney Scarborough at quarterback; Billy Hitchcock at left halfback; John Paul Tipper, the old reliable at right halfback, and Bunky O'Rourke at fullback. A complete list of Auburn players trekking to Baton Rouge Is as follows: Gilbert, Lester Antley, and Frank Black, guards; Paterson, Roton, Hugh Rodgers, Freddie Holman, and Bo Russell, tackles; Wil-: Hams, Eaves, Morris, McKissick, Hamm, and Strange, ends; Scarborough, Joe v.

'Bama Meets Kentucky And Is Expected To Have Some Trouble By KENNETH GREGORY Associated Preas Sports Writer The shell-shocked gridiron guessers catch another tough one Saturday when Auburn's "fighting Plainsmen" and the Tigers of Louisiana State square off 'n the headline Southeastern Conference attraction. On the strength of put performances, the game has all the earmarks of a toss-up. Louisiana has lost only to Rice and conquered Texas, Manhattan, Arkansas and Vanderbllt. Auburn fell victim to Tennessee, but rang up impressive victories over Tulane, Kentucky and Duke.

The game, scheduled for Baton Rouge, finds Louisiana risking its hopes for championship honors and Auburn striking for a comeback in the race after its conference setback by Tennessee. Three additional Southeastern duels, a pair of Important lntersectional combats and an lnterconference engagement complete the slate. Tulane's Green Wave entertains Colgate's Red Raiders at New Orleans and Mississippi State faces Army at West Point in lntersectional contests. Tennessee opposes Duke's twice-conquered Blue Devils at Durham. The Crimson Tide of Alabama, back In the conference contention after an early season loss to Mississippi State, meets Kentucky at Birmingham; Georgia goes to Jacksonville to play Florida, and Vanderbllt and Georgia Tech were paired at Atlanta in other strict conference tilts.

As the race for titular honors entersd the November stretch, Louisiana State and Mississippi remained the only uncon-quered elevens of the conference ranks. Mississippi goes out of the Southeastern realm to play St. Louis University at St. Louis tonight, but returns to the circle to engage Tennessee next week. Taking the records for what they're worth, Georgia should win easily over Florida; Alabama may have trouble with Kentucky, which has had two weeks to prepare for the battle, but the Tide should emerge victorious, and Vanderbllt, which has dropped three straight to formidable seems to pack too much power for Georgia Tech.

Tennessee and Duke have turned In terrific fights In the last three years and this looks like another blistering tumult. Army and Colgate are favored over their Southeastern foes. Sewanee, defeated three times within the conference, steps out to play Tennessee Tech of the S. I. A.

A. Two Dixie Conference contests and 10 S. A. A. skirmishes are on the schedule today and Saturday, as follows: S.

A brisk up turn In the sparring partner and arnica Industries appeared "just around tho corner" today as Jack Sharkey, newly-emerged from retirement with an eye on the heavyweight boxing championship, cast about for someone to practice on. Sharkey disclaimed any snare in the almost universal awe inspired in fight followers of Joe Louis, negro boxer.

He ventured the opinion that Louis never had faced any real opposition and said, "I am going to beat Joe Louis and then win back my heavyweight crown by knocking out Jimmy Braddock.

The Buckeyes not only have a great line, but also a pile-driving backfield that seems to have everything. Dartmouth has never won a football game from Tale, and the Indians are after this one. This will be the East's big feature. For years they've said, "If Dartmouth doesn't win this one, they never will." They may be saying the same thing again with a little more confidence this time.

M. TROT, Ala, Oct 31.

Pace Field win be Jammed to capacity here Friday night when the Oglethorpe Petrels corns to town for a gridiron battle with Coach A. B. Elmore's Troy State Teachers' College team. The Teachers will seek their fifth game of the season. The Petrels are known far and wide for their tricky formations and are favored to trim the Trojans, but Elmore has worked carefully for the Invasion of the Georgia squad and a victory for the Red Wave will not come as a surprise.

With the best team in Troy's history ready for action, Troy fans will see their up and coming college team step out to big company against the Petrels. Troy boasts of two ace backs in Cliff Meredith and Brick Owens. These two boys have stood out against every team the Trojans have met this season. Coach Elmore shifted his line In order to add more weight. Plant, big 210-pound tackle, has been given a starting berth, while Thompson, big tackle, has been moved over to Toung's guard post Earl James will be the starting center.

The probable starting lineup for Troy will be Cook, left end; Plant, left tackle; Thompson, left guard; James, center; Hol-ley, right guard; Matthews, right tackle; ilv.t end; Elmore, quarterback; Meredith, Jet half; Owen, right half, and Little, fullback. The squad from Oglethorpe University, Atlanta, wil Include three Dixie Amateur baseball players: Bowen, Abbeville, centerflelder; Wade, Abbeville hurl-er, and Bullivan, who cavorted for Troy in the outfield year before last.

The week's work Included two days of scrimmage against Southwestern plays as Interpreted by Coach Ray Davis and a special group of frosh. Thursday afternoon the Bulldogs ended work for the week with a light drill, specially designed to bring them to top form. In the light session Coaches Billy Bancroft and Ray Davis worked In a short dummy scrimmage, with aerial work, both offensive and defensive, holding the featured spot.

The lineup which Bancroft and Davis will send in against Southwestern will probably be unchanged from that they have been using. Pete Allen, 145-pound senior, and co-captain, will probably be at quarterback; Penny Penrod, another senior, tipping the beam at 160, fullback; and Ewing Harbin, the Bulldogs' ace back, at halfback with Glenn Hearn, the only soph on the starting group as a running mate. On the line Dan Snell and Wilton Bat-son, senior and junior respectively, will hold down the starting jobs at the ends; 190-pound Co-Capt. Pat Harrison will start at tackle, with Harry Johnston, 200 pounds, holding the other starting tackle spot Two Juniors, Ed Chojnowski and Paul Davis, will in all probability be at the guards, with another Junior, Norman Cooper, 190-pounder, at center, In facing Southwestern the Bulldogs will meet a type of attack that Is featured by Wallace Wade. The Lynx use a type of greatly modified Notre Dame system, with the shift almost completely abolished.
