Recurring agitation for resumption of relations between intrastate col- lege foot ball rivals in the south, where they were broken off when i1l feeling was engendered, has met with considerable disfavor among some southern authorities, who con- tend that the schools involved have made much better progréds in the foot bal world with the traditional rival eliminated from the list Interest is now focused on the Ala- bamians, who are trying to bring to- gether the University of -Alabama and the Alabama Polytechnic Insti- tute, better known on the fleld as Auburn. Athletic relations were sev- ered in 1903, and «despite frequent moves every now and then toward having them meet again, little tangi- ble progress has been made. Re- cently the Alabama legislature in its quadrennial session took cognizance of the situation and adopted a reso- lution asking that relations be re-| sumed. The resolution suggested that the| two elevens meet in a post-season {game, the proceeds of it to be used "In erecting a stadium’ where they | Icould play annually. The request of | {the assembly has been taken up by the heads .of the two institutions, but nothing definite toward an ironing out of the old differences has re-j sulted There was a time when the annual clash of those squads was Alabama’s gréatest gridiron battle of the year. The day saw a general reunfon of the respective alumni. Each squad oughopt its season was trained for this one game. There was always & certain amount of bitterness in the rivalry, and general melees be- tween the opposing student bodies after the game were not unusu 'TMS continuation of the strife aft. | the game caused the breaking of rela- tions, k ; fact, | ! t i i however, that neither squad attached “much’ importance to f{any game except that with its an- cient rival, and that its was willing to lose fts full schedule if it won the big battle, now forms the basis of gument for those who would rather not see relations resumed. Under the old order of things neither school had much of a reputation outsidé of its state, certalnly not outside of its sec- tion.” The same applies to Georgia Tech and the University ofs Georgia whose time-old rivalry reached the breaking stage in 1919. Since these two schools severed re- 1ations, and when Auburn and Al bama split, they all began to give at- tention to every game. They have steadily built up a nation-wide repu- tation. Their success on southern fields led to their venture into fielde afar, and while - neither has any string of wins to its credit from the eastern or western invasions, & Det- ter showing has been made year wfter year.

Coach tzer said last spring that Merritt woull develop into a greater back than Johnson, and from the fresh- man squad comes another back, Devin, who was a brillfant broken- fleld runner.
