UNPERTURBED
ABOUT
ALABAMA

MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(SNS)—This little city is buzzing this morning with all kind of comments on the fast approaching Morris Brown and Alabama State football game that will be played here this afternoon on the new athletic field at State College. The Works Progress Administration has certainly been kind to this institution. New buildings and a nice new field—all in the span of 18 months have been established. Landgrant institutions have profited immensely by this liberal administration that is in the White House. It has given education a real break as well as many forgotten men who it has given a new lease on life.

QUIETLY WAITING

are awaiting this grid war. The left Atlanta Friday at 8 o'clock and arrived here a little past noon in the afternoon. They were immediately assigned to their quarters and later lunched. This is the hardest part of a football game for the players—the wait before the game that gets on one's nerves. All around you can hear different tales of the prowess of the home team by some dyed-in-the-wool alumnus who loves to talk. To the players of Morris Brown, it is merely another football game and they are prepared for the worse that 'Bama has to offer this afternoon.

The students believe they can beat Morris Brown today. They may be right at that, but their record does not indicate it.
