CENTRAL HIGH AND MASSAY PLAY TODAY Good Game Expected When 'sPreps" Battle on Munger
 Field This Morning

Invading Birmingham with string of consecutive victories, the Massey school from Pulaski prep. champions of Tennessee, will meet Central High school this morning at Munger field in what promises to be the best game on either teams schedule. From the ad- vices of both coaches, their teams are in good condition and will enter the battle today confident of victory. The game starts at 10;30.
 The Massey boys are coached by H. W. Robinson, captain of Auburn last year. Only twice this season have the opponents of Robinson cohorts been able to penetrate the Massey defense and record touchdown. Only IS points have been scored against them, while they have rolled up a total of 206 points or 41 points per game.
 Central High has had a disastrous season, having won only three of her six games. Although it is true that they have faced some much stronger teams. hard luck was the cause of their defeat in the majority of the cases, Every man on the local team is in good shape for the battle today

MISSISSIPPI TEAM HAS
 ANOTHER STATE GAME

University of Mississippi, November 12.-Coach Fred Robbins has worked the University of Mississippi football squad hard this week in anticipation of the Mississippi college game today. The game is to be played in Jackson. Monday after the terrible daubing given the team by the Mississippi A. and NJ. Coach Robbins gave them only light workout, but the rest of the week they have gone through hard scrimmages every day. They have been trying to further perfect their open formations which will be their main reliance as it has been in the last three games. The eleven is in the best of form. Only one man will be out Left Half Brumson-who had col lar bone and his nose broken in the A. and M. game. His absence will be made up by the return of Captain Pop Harris to his position at right tackle and Jimmy Griffen's return to left half. The main reliances of Ole Miss for of fensive will be in Dear, Dawson, Cur tis and Mccall.

TIGERS FAVOR|TE OVER ELI ON EVE
 OF GREAT bATTLE
Yale Supporters Plentiful. Many Expect Yale to Shaw Old-Time Form and Up-
 set Dope by Victory

New Haven Conn. November 12.--Yale university, on the eve of her annual foot ball game against Princeton, is Haunt
 ing her banners of blue here tonight with the frank declaration that she expects the Eli eleven to defeat the Tigers on the morrow Notwithstanding the disas- trous preliminary season, including four defeats out of seven games played, there is an undefinable feeling that the Bulldog will turn and rend Princeton, despite the excellent record made by the Orange and Black this autumn.
 Undergraduates and alumni admit there prisng eleventh hour confidence, but show that there is something substantial about their optimism by covering the Princeton wagers when the odds appear to warrant such 8 move The night before contin- gent from the New Jersey university came to town prepared to offer long odds on their team. Much to their surprise their early offers of to 1 were so eagerly
 snapped up by the Eli adherents that Princeton soon shortened the odds to 2 to l. and even at these figures they found plenty of Yale money available.
 No attempt is made to explain this sudden shift in local sentiment. but there is an undercurrent of belief that the Blue
 has at last found itself and will give the Tiger a terrific battle. This air of mystery was further heightened this aft ernoon by the fact that the Eli squad broke precedents by holding secret prac-
 tice in the bowl.
 Unusual interest is evinced in the con-
 test and there will be record Yale Princeton game attendance. Close to co., ming The Palmer Memorial stadium at Princeton holds the record at present, something like 42,OO0 persons having wit messed the 1914 game in Tigerland. Every member of the Yale first line combination is reported to be in perfect condition, except Fullback Scovil. Guern- sey may open the game in his place, but it is almost certain that the former will play a portion of the contest.
 The Princeton squad spent the night at Hartford and will not arrive here until tomorrow forenoon. According to the statement of Coach Rush. the Tigers will line up against Yale in the same order I that faced Harvard with the exception l that Gennert at center may not be able 1 to play, in which case Butterworth will l take his place
 The probable lineup follows: Yale-Church, left end: Gates, left | tackle; Black, left guard: White. center; i J. Sheldon, right guard; Way. right tackle; Wiedeman, right end; Van Nos | trand quarterback; Wilson (captain) left Aalfback; Bingham, right halfback; | Guernsey fullback
 | Princeton-Highley left end; Mclean, | left tackle: Nourse, left guard; Gennert. center; Hogge. right guard; Parisette, right tackle: Lamberton. right end; Click (captainl, quarterback; Driggs, left half
 back; Shea. right halfback' Tibbott, full back.

HOW THE REPORT ABOUT
 WIGGS WAS STARTED

Explanations of how the story started are vague but McGugin attributed it to the fact that Wiggs did not show up for two consecutive days at practice Everybody was bearing and the report got. started that Wiggs had been ruled in eligible was the way McGugn put it. The rumor was given color by the fact that the examinations are held at this time of the year and by the fact that McGugin tried several other men in the backfield position. The Vanderbilt authorities did not see fit to deny the report which was accepted fact all over the south and published accord ingly.
 Auburn men, when informed last night that Wiggs would be in the game, were not downcast. They took the position that Auburn would take little pleasure in defeating a team materially crippled by injuries and preferred to go against the best that the Commodores have so that upon whichever banner victory rests there will be no alibi
 The Vanderbilt eleven arrived at 2:55 o'clock and after registering at the Tut Wiler hotel went to the Athletic club donned uniforms and went to Redwood Field, where a light practice was held The signals were run through and the punters tried their toes. Returning to the club at o'clock they dressed and hung together at the hotel. Dinner was served at 6:30 o'clock and the team went to bed in the best of spirits at 9:S0. There will be another preliminary workout this morning and the men will rest until the game starts.
 Donahue sent his warriors to bed as soon as they reached the Hotel Hillman. Mike is carrying P players and McGugin 2S. The Auburn warriors will have light signal practice this afternoon and will rest until the game starts.

New York, November 12--Another se- ries of football history making con tests Is set for eastern eridirons to- morrow. In several cases 1t will be the final opportunity for competing eIevens to fix their status for the sea- son of 1915. Princeton will close it's pursuit of pigskin glory with the bat tie against Yale, and Michigan, in play ing Pennsylvania, writes ''finis" aft CT It's record. Other games of import ance include Harvard vs. Brown, Syra- cuse vs. Colgate, Cornell vs. Washing ton and Lee and Dartmouth vs. Bates.
 New Haven will be the Mecca of the football faithful and while the Tiger is generally favored to defeat the Bulldog, interest in the contest is exceedingly keen since many look for a sensational last trench stand on the part of the Blue that may upset the seasons form There is nothing in the record of the present Yale eleven, however to indicate that it will be able to overthrow it's rival from Princeton.
 With the exception or dafNdru, the Nassau team has triumphed over all the combinations faced this fall, many of them of more than ordinary football prowess. Yale, on the other hand, has fallen an easy prey for college elevens which in past years were hardly able to furnish the Ellis with warming up exercise. Consequently the adherents of the Orange and Black have been obliged to offer odds as high as 10 to in order to bring out Blue backing. That there is Yale money to be had at any price proves the existence of an opinion that the Ellis have a chance of victory.
 It is generally believed that Princeton did not uncover the full power of it's attack in the game with Harvard. The ma ajority of her offensive plays were of
