The great game in our foot-ball
horizon is Auburn, Nov. 24. This
game is played in Atlanta and spe

Though Auburn and l T . of (ia. have
not met in four seasons, yet the in
tense feeling brought about by cur
defeat still remains among us, and
will urge the eleven to redouble
their efforts on that day.
We hope to play the Techs in
isms which can justly be made on
the men behind ihu line. It is
plainly evident that there is a great
misunderstanding in regard to the
signals, and consequently when the
ball is passed, a collision, costly
fumble, and loss of several yards is
usually the result. There is no ex
cuse in the world for not knowing
every one of the signals, because
the line in fairly good form, hut
quite often has no assistance. It
was quite noticeable in a practice
game a few days ago, where one of
the backs backed the line almost
entirely alone. With a good line
against you, it would be almost im
possible for a man to buck with any
gain without assistance from lie
hind as well as in front.
The hacks are by no means yet
accustomed to making fair catches,
and had muffs are still very notice-
