  REDWOOD WILL BE SCENE OF BIG GAME BETWEEN GA. & ALA. AUBURN ELEVEN IN FINE TRIM FOR CLEMSON BATTLE Warriors Unscathed in Florida Game-Team Work Showing Great Improvement -Backfied Displaying Splendid Form Lousell Rapidly Recovering From Injuries addition, as both have the weight that is lacking amongst the other candidates. The backheld that started against Florida did not average but little over $50 pounds, but with these In the line up the aver age would be raised considerably. Taylor will also be an immense addition 90 the secondary defense. He is hard to fool and his height weight and speed makes him formidable against any kind of at tack. On the whole, If the team keeps up its present development and no i’ll luck occurs In the way of injuries Auburn ought to be represented in November by a team as good il not better than that of last year. New Plays Being Practiced This week new plays are being practiced that win be used against the Glenn son Tigers. 1t would seem from the games played so far that they are not as strong as they expected to be- They are always fighters, however. and VIII fight especially hard on their own grounds. So If Auburn expects anything easy. they are apt to be very much sur prised. After the Clemson game the Birininsham supporters of the Auburn team viii have chance to see their favorites n action against the always strong Mlssissippi Agricultural and Mechanical team. For the last two or three years Auburn has always managed to win by close scores, and 1t seems from the reports coming from Mississippi that the game this year Will be as close as ever. Anburn has always managed to win this game by preliminary football. but TINS year the team has come along SO well that something more advanced Is llable TO be shown.
