Fayette High Is Playing
 UJair Sports, Claim of
 Coach GiHemof Hamilton
Bount High Captain Also Writes Letter of Protest Actions of Fayette Authortes-Central and Bount to
 Play Saturday at Redwood

| As developments occur the broad and bold challenge of the Fayette County High school gradually grows fainter in the limelight of the sporting world. Developments are coming thick and fast in the question of the actions of the Fayette authorities. together with their failure to be members of the A. | A, C.
 Letters yesterday from Coach link Gillian of the Hamilton Aggies and Captain Wadsworth of the Blount County High school team cast some important light on the subject It now begins to appear that Central High school was in the right when the Fay- ette challenge was ignored
 The following letter was received from Coach Gillian, who left his team Wednesday to answer the call to the colors:
 To the Sporting Editor of The Age-
 Herald:
 I have noted with much interest the gallant display of the Fayette County High school officials in regard to their world beating" team. Their boasts are really amusing to those who understand the conditions.
 Fayette met Hamilton early in the season and recorded $ to victory Since that time, and we had a verbal agreement for return game at Ham, ilton, we have unsuccessfully endeav- ored to arrange to meet Fayette again We agreed to all sorts of proposals and then finally offered to play under any conditions, but Fayette still re- fused, promising an answer later
 Fayette, in my opinion, is greatly overrated They have not scored a decisive victory over any formidable team and I would really be surprised if they have played all the games with great scores in their favor, as stated in some of their articles.
 Central could easily beat Fayette and since they will not give Hamil- ton a chance to shut them up, I sin cerely hope the Birmingham boys will do it.
 I am a firm believer in clean ath. letics, and I certainly do not believe that Fayette is, acting either fair or square Yours truly
 PARKER GILLIAN. Coach.
 Hamilton, Ala, November 15, 1917.
 A letter of the same calibre was re- ceived yesterday from Captain Frank Wadsworth of the Blount County High school. It follows:
 To the Sporting Editor of The Age
 Herald:
 Will the Fayette County High school please explain why they cancelled the game with Blount High scheduled to have been played in Birmingham at Redwood Field or the morning of No- vember 10? This game was arranged

KELLY IS SEARCHING
 RUINS ID PREPARE FOR KENTUCKY TILT.
Three of Crimson's Best Men Out for Season. Sessions and Lenior
 Also Injured

University, November 15.-(Spe- cial )-The crippled Alabama football team is trying hard to get into con aggregation of Kentucky State Satur day. The thin red line was torn to pieces last Saturday in the game with Vanderbilt and every effort is beinS made to patch it together before the next game. With at least three reg ulars out, it will take better playing on the part of the others than they have shown thus far in the season 1T the game is to be won.
 Three men are out for the season and maybe others for several games. Sessions broke through the Vanderbilt line and blocked 8 punt last Satur- day, but the ball hit him in the side and severely bruised him. He is prac- ticing as well as he can, but it is not definitely known yet whether or not he will be ready when the whistle blows for the next game. Lenoir's arm that was sprained in scrimmage prac- tice the first of last week, is still very sore, and his place will probably be taken by Stowers. Blair is in the hos pital with a. broken leg and Boone has  all his front teeth knocked out, and the bone in the roof of his mouth in- jured Johnson is limping around on Stick as result of badly sprained ankle, and will be out for the next game if not for the season. Almost every other man has something in the way of a bruise, charley horse or sprain wrong with him. From the de- bris Coach Kelly is working hard to build un machine that can offer sue cessful resistance to the Kentucky State team.
 The next and final appearance of the Alabama team in Birmingham will be on Thanksgiving against an all- star team representing Camp Gordon. From the advance notices concerning this team, they seem to have one of the strongest teams in the south, and Alabama will have to work hard to beat them Several old Alabama stars are on this team and their work

LIGHT WORKOUTS FEATURE AUBURN'S GRIND FOR VANDy Trapp and Rodgers Back in UnifOrm-Team in Good
 Condition Once
 Again

Auburn, November 15.-(Special )-With only one more day of practice left for Mike Donahue to get his warriors in shape for the hard Vandy game, he is running them at a fast rate of speed in an endeavor to have them in the best of condition for these Vanderbilt huskies. Coach Donahue realizes that Auburn has no little task on it's hands, as Vandy all ways puts up her best fight against Au- burn. Then again, Vanderbilt upset the dope and beat Alabama, and although reports say that Alabama had the edge on the McGuginites, yet they were not able to put the old pigskin over for even & tie score, much less a win.
 Now Auburn doesn't want that to hap pen, and no matter how good the Tigers may be when they meet the Gold and Black, another repetition of the same dose might be administered to the eleven of the Orange and Blue, Van derbilt will be playing on her own cam pus in the shadow of the buildings that all Vandy men should love, and what more could a team expect to help them on to victory than a madly yelling stu dent body behind them. If the condi tons were just reversed, Vanderbilt would not have a chance to win, and it would be doubtful indeed if Ohio State, Pittsburg or Georgia Tech could turn the trick.
 Auburn will have to leave the historic village of the plains early Friday to get to Nashville. In other words, a long, hard trip is on the schedule before the Auburnites set their feet on Tennessee soil. This alone will be a handicap, but it is likely that the squad will take the trip in easy way, stopping at Montgom- cry and Decatur.
 The student body was much enthused over the appearance of Rat Trapp and Rodgers, Auburn's center in uniform this week. Both have been out of the game sometime, and their entrance into the game will prove & big asset to Coach Donahue's men. Trapp is good half- back and before he was injured prayed very consistent game in the backfield with "Bil'' Donahue, Revington and Du- cote.
 Only light workouts have been on the boards so far this week. The Auburn coach is trying to get his machine into smooth working order in the matter of running signals, catching punts, etc. Sev- eral men were more or less 'bunged" up in the game with Davidson, and while none of them will be out of the game next Saturday, yet they are being al- lowed to get into the best of condition, It is probable that the Plainsmen will go through a gruelling scrimmage tomorrow to see if the plays that they have been drilled upon so far this week are running s77eothly.
 The only kick that the student body
 about this game is that they are not sfg to get to see it. It has always been n custom for the whole corps of cadets
 ourney to Birmingham every year
 o heer the Orange and Blue to victory At any rate the pep Is running high &ss a big mass meeting will be held sosS orrow night to show the team just hes every Auburn man feels about this

NEW BOXING LAW
 TAXES EFFECT IN
 NEW YORK STATE
Fistic Affairs Legal Only in Chartered Clubs. Reaped Funds for
 State

New York, November 15.-At mid night last night the Frawley law which for over six years permitted 1o-round clubs everywhere in New York state, became obsolete. After being on the statute books since July, 1911, the Frawley measure succumbed to the Slater bill, abolishing legalized bouts throughout the state, which was passed during the closing hours of the 1917 legislative session at Albany. E
 In future, or until such time as some other measure may permit a revival of the sport in places where public ad- ministration fees can be charged, glove contests in Greater New York or else chartered clubs under the "membership plan" which was in vogue here during the interim between the lapse of the Horton law and the advent of the Frawley measure.
 According to the annual reports of sion, patrons of the sport in the last six years have paid about $5,000,000 In admissions to ring contests, and ex- hibitions held under the Frawley law. The state tax of per cent and later 71a per cent on these gate receipts which has been paid into the state treasury amounted to about $500, ,000. The banner year under the Frawley regime was 1916, when the receipts, in- cluding the big gate receipts for the Willard-Moran bout at Madison Square amounted to $1,066,46S, and the state tax was s79,9S5.

TECHS FACULTY AGREES ID GAME FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Matter of Benefit Tilt for Red Cross Left to De-
 cision of Pittsburg
 Authorities


 Atlanta, Ga. November 15.-The Geor- gia Tech football team may play Red Cross benefit game with Pittsburg Uni versity team Saturday, November 24, an open date on the schedules of both teams, far as the Georgia Tech fac- ulty is concerned.
 It now remains for the National Red Cross officials at Washington to put the matter squarely up to the Pittsburg Uni- versity authorities as to whether they will meet the southerners in conest for national football honors.
 The Tech faculty it became known to- day decided at a meeting late yester- day to abrogate the rule providing that the football eleven of the school could play only one game season away from home.
 Coach Heisman declared today that al- though it was contrary to all training rules to stage a big game just before the annual Thanksgiv.ng contest with Auburn, every member of the Tech squad was willing to meet Pittsburg for the benefit of the Red Cross.

MANDY IS LOSING
 NO TIME ID MEET
 PLA|NSMEN ATTACK
CommodOres Are in Excel lent Shape for Their Annual Tilt With
 Auburn Eleven

Nashville, November 15.-tSpecial)
 With the Auburn clash only two days off, the Commodores continue their
 daily workouts on Dudley field with
 the same grim determination. The ut most seriousness now holds sway in the
 Vanderbilt camp due to the menace of the Auburn Plainsmen. The team has wasted no time in rejoicing over the de- feat of Alabama last Saturday. There is no time for such things now. The team looks only forward where they have enough to occupy their attention Tor the next three weeks
 should the Auburn team be success fully disposed of, which is by no means sure thing, the Commodores must turn to meet the onslaughts of the Virginia meio artillery team and the Sewanee llsers. Outside of preparing for these teams the Commodores have nothing at all to do and can take life easy.
 IT the Commodores expect to make any headway against the Auburn bunch, they must find some way to eclipse the brilliant moon Ducote, whom all reports hail as a regular star Not only have the Plainsmen Ducote to hurl at the Commodores, but they have in addition well-balanced team that carries a punch. It is shown here that the Au- burn bunch is one of the strongest ag- gregations in Dixie, and that the Com modores must put forth a superhuman effort to conquer them. Although the Vanderbilt team cannot be said to in- clude a single individual star, yet the team works well together and are all imbued with a strong spirit of fight
 Interest in the game Saturday con- tinues to. increase and prospects are bright for large crowd. There will be a mass meeting of Vanderbilt students tomorrow night and yell practices are being held nightly. The affair Saturday IS being advertised as the big game of the season on Dudley field, and football fans are expected to turn out in large numbers. For five years the game be- tween Auburn and Vanderbilt has been played in Birmingham, and it is now up to Nashville football fans to show that Nashville is just as good place as Birmingham for holding the annual af- fair.
