 This afternoon on Underwood Field here the Bessemer High school football team defeated the Tuscaloosa High school foot ball team by the close score of to 0. in one of the hardest fought games played on the local gridiron this season The game was almost featureless except for the brilliant playing of Right HalfbaclS Charley Scott, for the locals, and Center Peaton for the visitors.
 Bessemer opened the game by kicking to Tuscaloosa's five-yard line from which place Right Halfback Deason ran it back % yards before being downed by the local left end. All the playing in this quarter was done Tn Tuscaloosa territory, the ball never crossing the 50- yard line
 The ball was put into play after 1C minutes on the 50-yard line and Bessemer executed forward pass that was good for gain of B yards, the ball going from Thaxton to Frank Scott Imme- diately afterwards Bessemer made a touchdown with an end run by Charlie Scott carrying the ball the width of the field for the touchdown, from which place Ralph Snider kicked out immediately 1T front of the goal. Thaxton kicked into the goal post and failed to cross the bar. Score, 6 to o.
 The last half was anybody's game, the ball going from one side to the other or fumbles and intercepted forward passes The visitors were uncertain and nervous all through the game, the quarterback taking the signals from one of the half backs and repeating them. Only one man on the team showed true form and thai vas Center Peaton, who was in every play on the defensive, and proved a good opening wedge on the offensive. For the locals Ralph Snider was the main line of defense and the only one who could stop the opposing center. Not play was run through him and he went out of his way to stop most of the line plays. Char lie Scott was as fast as ever Frank Scott at left end did good defensive work and one time downed his man as he caught a punt. Bessemer was in danger during the last quarter, but rallied and took the ball out of their territory.
 The lineup was as follows:
 decentralization, center; Martin, S.. right guard; Lee, left guard; Snider, right tackle; Salters. left tackle; Cowan, righ end; F. Scott, left end; c. Scott, right half: Ragsdale. left half; Thaxton, guar. terback; Evans. fullback.
