Diversified Attack Enables Central to Defeat
Ensley 81 to O-End Runs and Off Tackle Plays
Give Central the Lead-Jaffe Proves Capable
General

A versified attack won for Central High
school in the opening game of the season
over Ensley High school football team
by the count Of 90 to 0.
Central had very little trouble in rolling
up the score, the first touchdown coming
after seven minutes of play. End runs
and off tackle plays worked the ball
within a short distance of the goal line,
where Anderson on an unusual forma-
ton strolled across FOR the first touch
down. jackson kicked goal
Ensley held Central for downs twice on
the 5-yard line and worked the ball once
to Central's 10-yard line.
The best ground gained for Ensley was
the forward pass, which was worked five
times successfully out of nine attempts.
During the last quarter the aerial route
failed the Steele City lads.
One very clever play was the long for
ward pass from Jaffe to Banks, which
netted 40 yards. Levy on the next play
circled around his right wing for 15
yards and a touchdown.
Coach Pritchards charges showed up
exceptionally well for the first game
The team fumbled very little and most
of the plays went off as timed
Central followers were jubilant after
the game, seeing in the green material

earmarks of a. good general For a be-

AUBURN ROCKIES
HARD PRESSED BY
SOLDIER ELEVEN
Tigers Are Held ScOreless
Until the Final Quarter.
Stubborn Fighting by
Both Elevens

Montgomery, September 30.-(Special.)
Obtaining the ball in midfield with only
four minutes left to play, Auburn
eleven defeated Battery C in a stub
bcrnly contested game by score of to
0. After Auburn COPIED the sphere, Riv-
ir gton carried it to the two-yard line,
and in four more plunges went through
left tackle for a goal.
The game was spectacular. Four bands
played in the presence of at least 200C
spectators. Two hundred Auburn students
cheered their team Justify to victory
The teams were we'll matched. The
Tigers were youngsters, some of whom
were under fire for the first time. The
batterymen were seasoned warriors, but
they were lacking in the practice that
Auburn has had. Auburn's line held firm
and the artillerymen only once threat
ened the Tigers goal.
Auburn brought only one of her old
stagers, the rest being this years re-
cIuits. Bonner, regular, played on the
from last year, played for a time in the
back field. Both teams weighed about
the same.
Most of the playing was done in mid
field, and during the first quarter, the
soldiers had their best opportunity to
score. After VandeGraaff and Roberts
had made end runs for u and yards
and Whatley had broken through left for
20 yards, the soldiers were within e
yards of Auburn's goal when the battery
was penalized 10 yards and 20 yards In
two successive plays. These setbacks de-
stroyed the hopes of the soldiers.
In the second quarter, the Tigers car
ried the pigskin to battery's 15-yard
line
In the final quarter Auburn got the
ball in midfield. On the first down

Gloom prevails here tonight among
the followers of the Crimson, who,
Judging from the material on hand
and the former performances be-
tween the two elevens, expected the
Kelley machine to score an easy VIC
tory. The Crimson eleven was Grip
pied in regard to training, but not to
physical endurance. The Methodists,
primed by over three weeks of strenu-
GUS training, made the spectators,
who numbered close to 1000, admit
that it was the best prep team seen in
action in many day.
The day was an ideal one for foot
ball game. Tuscaloosa extended cor
dial hand to the hundred or so of
Birmingham people who journeyed to
witness the game. The grandstand OF
the giant athletic field did rot begin
to fill until only a few minutes be-
fore the Crimson horde strolled upon
the gridiron led by Captain Lowndes
Morton.
CAPTAIN BAILEY WINS TOSS
The game was started promptly at
$3.50 O'Clock. Captain Bailey won the
toss and chose to receive. Greene
kicked off for Alabama and the 1915
gridiron season was formally opened.
Scott returned the ball Is yards be-
fore he was downed by an Alabama
tackler. The Methodists proved in
capable of handling the ball and aft

Crimson line, Neill was called back to

middle of the field
Greene the new quarter of the

the Methodists and soon found that the
line was cuitable place to work. Time
after time Hook Brunette and Walter
and Albert Hovater were called upon
to advance the ball and on each occa-
sion did they respond. The Methodists
showed they were not able to stop

Alabama showed splendidly in scor-
ing the initial touchdown and the stu
dents prophecy that the game would
be a Crimson landslide seemed to be
fact. AS the game progressed, now
ever the MethodistS, encoura ged oc-
casionally by throwing the big backs
for a loss, began to hold their own,
but the resistance soon crumpled I'M

TIDE BEGINS TO TURN
From this moment on the tide Of
the battle began to turn The Meth
odists gained in form and before the
half had ended were holding the Grim
son backs to small gains. The score OF
the first half ended 13 to o.
The Methodists had but very little
opportunity of showing their of1en-
sive ability in the first half and their
defense appeared very wobbly at early
stages of the game, but gradually grew
into a stone wall.
In the final half the Methodists, aid
ed by a few changes, started with a
rush The strain of the hard game was
beginning to tell on the Crimson eleven
and the battle gradually grew to even
terms. The Crimson had an excellent
opportunity to score in the first lew
minutes of play of the final half. Ha-
gan circled left end for 25 yards, but
the Methodists braced and forced q
runt. Lewis fumbled and Alabama re-
covered on Birmingham 20-yard line.
Two forward passes were attempted,
| but both were blocked. Hagan called
another pass and Brunette passed over
, left end Hagan received the oall on
! the dead run, but fumbled 1T after
crossing the goal line. Kidd, on the
alert, trounced on the ball. IL was a
