TUSCALOSA, Ala.—Coaches, stu(|ents and football players at the University of Alabama have but one thought now and that I* the overwhelming desire to give Syracuse University “thunder* *ort October 13 when they meet the New Yorkers in tho Empire state Filled with this desire, the men are working feverishly every day under Conches Wnd©» Crisp, Co hen and nssltants in an effort to present the most formidable at tack possible. • From the camp of the Syracuse I outfit comes vague rumblings of long practice already; the reportf having it that the lettermen and candidates of the New Yorkers have been in training for many weeks at a enmp operated by the athletic officials of. the institution Crimson coaches realise that the work shortly ahead must be met In earnest manner and the open ing games with Union University nnd the University of Mississippi on the local enmpus, regardless of their result, will be but, workouts of a more strenous nature In the campaign of preparation for the easterners.

Last year at th*' end of the sea son. eight sporting writers, recog nized as being about the most ex pert in the game, picked eight play" ers whom they considered to be the most valuable men to their teams. From this eight they then selected one man for the American League trophy. ibo Ruth was no', the man they selected. George Blsler was. Babe Ruth wa» not even MEN TIONED among 'he entire 8 and his name did not enter Into th« dlscu-'-lon over the selections. That was last year. Ruth had been a "bad actor" foi *ho better part of the year, had nindo no end of trouble for his Manager, Huggins. In fact he ha< generally conducted himself nnd hir business ns though he wanted throw himself out of baseball. And for tho better part of the season he succeeded most admirably. The Ruth of thfs year Is a totally different man. He has not made the slightest trouble. Has worked hard nnd really deserves the hon or which he has attained. He has helped place baseball on a slightly higher plane by his conduct and "come-back." It is a big honor for a player to lpe chosen ns the most valuable to his team in the entire league, and more still when that same playet the year before was a trouble maker nnd not even, mentioned as any of the eight players to be picked from. To the new Ruth wt say all hon or nnd hope that, there Will be more like him.

This Is a rather Interesting side light on Dempsey. And It’s true. When we were ushered Into th' room where the champ • was, h» arose, laid aside a book he wai reading and shook hands.
