On Southern grounds practically every battle has the advance appearance of a corker. The Tigers of Sewanee at Tech, though victorious in every preceding game with the Jackets, are facing an altogether worthy opponent. The winning team is not expected to have any spare margin, and the name of the winner is more problematical than the size of the score.

Alabama and Tulane clash on the Crimson-White campus. Every line of dope that lias filtered through indicates one of the fiercest scraps of the season in this struggle. Both teams are in fit condition for a tough mill. The Commodores anticipate no trouble with Kentucky State, even with Hard age, Freeland and one of the Browns out of the game. But The affairs of L.

P. 1., Davidson and Wake Forest these games should keep the spectators alive. With the Carlisle Redskins war-whooping about the Cambridge campus of Harvard, Brown facing Yale, Dartmouth battling the Princeton Tigers, Yost's Wolverines invading Cornells Ithacan campus and Penn defending against Lafayette, the day in the East is not exactly tame. Brown has made herself decidedly entertaining (his fall, and the Red Men have been equally noticeable. Both Yale and Harvard are off form, right now'.

Michigans showing against Syracuse makes the game at Ithaca assume the hue of a close bet. Dartmouth will probably be easy for the Tigers, hut at that the lesser light has not been beaten this season. All in all, the score boards will be watched with wide interest this afternoon, though it is unlikely that the Eastern or Southern championship will be affected by the results.

It Is a practical certainty that a fian-chlse In the tight little circuit can he landed There are many reasons why It wounl work to the advantage of the organization to transfer one of Its teams to the little sister of the Magic City. If the plins of the promoters carry and the franchise is placed in Bessemer, it will he for Bessemer to keep lugs going. Just as Its squat el up to Bes-emer to get things started This tides not mean that the club will not have the tremendous adiantagp of Magic City support, hut that officially It will be a home affair Though the Initiative was taken by Birmingham sportsmen, the majority of the stock will be held In Bessemer and Bessemer men will control the club In every respect Enough of the move has conic to light to make It plain that Bessemer fandom BATTLING NELSON STOPS MOORE IN NINE ROUNDS BUFFALO, N.
