 Thanksgiving Day will be brilliant, as usual, as far as football contests are concerned. In the morning at Rick wood, Central High school will clash with the strong aggregation from the Bessemer High school, and another bit ter and bloody strife is expected be- tween these two ancient rivals. Cen- tral will enter the battle slight fa- vorite, but the fact that Bessemer is offering the opposition will materially decrease the odds.
 Coach Thomas is driving his men at Central hard for the battle. Yesterday. although rain had made the practice field too soggy for the daily workout, found Coach Thomas working his men at East park. Each member of the squad was forced to jaunt around the track 15 times in order to remain in the best of physical condition.
 Last year, Central batt1ed against great odds, and held the Bessemer boys to scoreless tie in one of the lhoSJ Dlllcfly COHLcSLOc SdinSS ever witnessed between two prep schools. Fights were galore and thrills were furnish edN in abundance. And such has been the case ever since Central and Bessemer clashed.
 Bessemer has been playing few games this season and as the result Central has obtained little information on the strength of their foes. But, Coach Thomas is not worring about that. He is working his men hard, and should Cenarl suffer defeat. simply better team was met.
 The game, usual, will hold the championship of the A. I. A. c. in bal ance. Central, should they suffer de- feat, would lose the title, and it would take some awful work to figure out the champion by the comparative score route. A victory for Central will give them clean slate for the season. and undisputed claim to the state cham pionship.
 The contest is really the classic of the season for local prep football, and sridiron followers who are interested In seeing tough and evenly matched game should not fail to be at Redwood on the morning of the eventful Turkey Day.

 Wilbert Robinson is not it with the Brooklyn fans. He won last year and was a king" He fell this year.
 Jimmy Callahan failed with the Pirates and was succeeded by Hugh Bezdek, and the latter couldn't get the Pirates out of last place.

Plainsmen Must Battle Two Great Teams Ohio State and Georgia Tech, In Ten Days-Coach Donahue Planning

 will meet in the erdiron warriors from
 Ohio one Of the foremost teams in the

 the western conference championship,
 and are now going out for prey out of
 their own territory.
 When the Ohio eleven journeys to Montgomery they will bring an all-Amer- :cah halfback. Chick Harley and an all- western end, Bolton. However these are not the only stars on that wonderful team. This year only three new men were needed to fill1 the desired quota of Ii men and already one of these new men, Stinchcomb, right halfback. is being picked as one of the seasons greatest finds on a college team Captain Court ney and his brother, who play the tackle positions on this Championship team, are famous, and are said to be two of the best tackles on the American gridiron this year. Thus, it can be seen that the Plainsmen are going up against most porthy team next Saturday in the capi- tai city of Alabama

True, Georgia Tech has played Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indians but they have not met Pittsburg, and Ohio State is now elassed with Pittsburg in the matter of championship organiza- tions. The Plsinsmen know what they are going up against next Saturday and will prepare this week in order that they may make a most creditable showing against these invaders of the southern 2ridiron
 All Auburn is jubi.ant over the defeat of Vanderbilt on yandys back lot and this will have q lot to do with putting the right amount of spirit into their work this week to tell against tine wonderful Ohio organization.
 Saturdays game in Nashville firmly proved to southern gridiron dopesters that Auburn is well represented this year on the pigskin battlefield and that they will give a good account of themselves in their remaining two games. Coach ] Donahue had a fresh team to contend with, but his firm coaching has seen re- suits. and will continue to bring the right sort of results.
 Vanderbilt was weak this year on &C., count of the war but that does not keep any of the joy of win away from the Tiger, who is well satisfied with last Saturdays game. The team work of the Orange and Blue was we'll organized against Vanderbilt and everything flew along in apple pie order. That untimely tumble was the only fly in the ointment for the Donahue men. but now they are not thinking about that, but are looking forward at the future.

ing complete war prohibition by a

Medical association in national con-
