ACADEMIC TEAMS
WILL STRUGGLE
POLYS TO MEET LOS ANGELES
HIGH
Both Teams Are Evenly Matched as to
Speed and Weight-keen Inter-
est Manifested by Stu
dent Bodies

What is anticipated to be the fast
est academic football game of the sea-
son will occur tomorrow afternoon at
Fiesta park when the Polytechnic
High School team and the Los Ange-
les High School eleven face each other.
Coach Thompson has developed a
very fast team and the Polys have
made a fine record thus far during the
season. The squad is out every after
noon working with a vengeance for
tomorrow's game.
The teams are rather evenly
matched, both as to weight and speed.
The Los Angeles eleven is supremely
confident of victory. though Traeger's
men do not expect an easy time when
they clash with the Polytechnic boys.
Much enthusiasm exists and rallies
have been in the auditoriums of both
schools, where songs and yells are
practiced. AS a result of the faith
which has been centered by both stu
dent bodies each team is determined
to do everything in it's power to win.
According to the performances of
both elevens the coming struggle
should be a bitter one from the first
whistle. An advance sale of seats in
dicates that the bleachers will be taxed
to their capacity.

WINTER THIEF

CLOTHES LINES AND HEN
BOOSTS BEREFT.

Complaint has reached police headquar-
ters that on Fifth avenue, from Twen-
ty-second to Twenty-thrd street, the
faucets from every yard hydrant have
been stolen.
The citizens believe mischevious boys
have played this prank, and ask that a
special officer be detailed to watch this
section of the city for the next few
nights Chief Wier has issued instruc-
lions that the officers on this beat take
especial notice
Many reports have been received by the
police concerning petty thieving. Against
the coming of winter, the hall thief is
making himself active. This individual
preys upon hats. overcoats and umbIellas
left in the halls of residences. Numerous
complaints have already been received.
Complaint has been received, too, that
clothes are being stolen from the lines Of
washerwomen. This is also another move
on the part of the man who must pre-
pare himself with raiment for the cold
weather The chicken thief is making
himself active, too. The theft of chickens
Is also more common during the cold
months
The police officer had h, no other way
of telling, could announce the coming of
winter by never-failing harbinger-the
overcoat thief. There is h lrdly a way to
catch this nuisance, and Chief Wier can
simply advise owners of homes to keep
their front doors locked after the falling
of night, or else maintain strict watch.

MILLION DOLLAR CEMENT
PLANT is NOW ASSURED

Scottsboro, October Especial 1.-The
million-dollar cement plant to be located
near Bridgeport, in the upper end Of this
county, mention of which was made in
this paper a short time since, is now a
certainty. In an interview last Monday,
Mr.. Richard Hardy of Detroit, Mich,
secretary of the company which will be
known as the Dixie Portland Cement
company, said:
1.-The work on our new mill will be
started not later than November l. and
1t will be pushed to a speedy completion.
We expect to be in operation the latter
part of next summer. Our company has
been investigating for the past two years
to find suitable place for the location of
southern cement mill, as at present
only about one-fourth of the total output
of cement in the United States Is manu-
featured in the south We have rock and
shale in close proximity, with an mex
haustibe supply of water. The lime rock
is as good as could be found in the en-
tire south and appears in large quantities.
A strong feature of the proposition is
that of cheap fuel. We are located right
at the gateway of the immense coal fields
of Tennessee and Alabama, and we have
contracts covering fuel supply for term
