'ENSLEY CRIPPLED
FOR BESSEMER GAME.
SchOll Out With Injuries,
While Walker Has
Left School

The Ensley yellow Jackets" are being
put through the most strenuous work
outs that they have had this year this
week, in preparation for the Bessemer
game, which is to be played Friday aft
ernoon at Redwood field. This is the
biggest game that the Jackets have
scheduled this year. AS the Bessemer
bunch has not met with defeat they
are claiming the state championship
Coach Craig, assisted by Athletic Direc-
tor Thomas, holding long scrimmages
and signal practices every afternoon
with the hopes of putting strong team
into the game.
When the whistle blows Friday after
noon. Ensley will be minus the service
of her star center and quarterback.
Scholl, who has been the main strength
of the Jackets line this year will see
the game from the side lines. due to in
juries received last week in a serim-
mage with Central. They will also be
without the services of the captain
and quarterback Walker is not in school
any more The loss of these two men
is a great setback to the Ensley sup
porters, as it was them that they were
depending upon to stop the onrushing
Bessemer aggregation.
Coach Craig has spent several sleep
less nights in the past week over the
loss OF Scholl and Walker, and he has
come to the conclusion that Murphee
and Cook are about the best substi-
tutes that he has to fill the vacancies
left by these two men. Murphee has
been running in tackle all season and
Cook in a half. Although Murphee is
not in the class with Scholl, he is a
very formidable center. AS for Cook,
he has been running a sub-quarter
all season and he ought to show up
very well.
The student body of the school is ex
pected to turn out in full force to see
their crippled warriors battle for the
state championship. They are holding
daily mass meetings for the purpose of
getting their thoughts in condition to
cheer their boys to victory.
Coach Craig stated last night that he
had no. decided on his lineup for the
game Friday afternoon. He also stated
that he was not making any predictions
as to what his outfit would do against
Bessemer, but that they would go into
the battle with determination that
Bessemer would have to fight for every
inch of ground that she gained.

BESSEMER READY
FOR ENSLEY GAME.
Coach Harris Has One of
Strongest Teams Besse-
mer Ever Had

Red" Harris will lead his Bessemer
Tigers to Redwood park Friday after
noon for the purpose of playing the Ems
ley Yellow Jackets. Neither Bessemer
nor Ensley have tasted defeat this year
and they are both claiming the state
championship The struggle Friday will
decide the real champions for the year.
as every other high school of any i'm
portance have been defeated by one Of
these aggregations, Red" led his Tigers
to the championship last year, and Besse-
mer supporters claim that he will do the
same thing again this year But ne is
taking no chances on Ensley and is put
ting the Tigers through some of the hard
est workouts that they have gone through
this Year.
Red has the strongest outfit assembled
together this year that has ever repre-
sented the Bessemer High school on the
gridiron. He bias lost only two or three
of his last years champions, and besides
his regulars, he has al 1of his last years
scruos to pick from.
Ba.y, the star fulback of last yetr, is
back again this year and great things
are expected from him again this year.
1t will be remembered that last year
Baty was the main ground gamer for
the Bessemer team And in the games so
far this year he and Merritt have done
the principal gaining. In Merritt, Batv
has one of the best running mates in the
south.
When asked what he thought of the
game, Red" s~ted: IF Scholl and
Walker are out of the game Ensley will
be greatly weakened, but we are not
taking any chances, and we are going
to watch for any surprises that they
try to pull"
Everything points towards victory for
Bessemer. but the team is not the least
bit overconfident, and they expect to
put that old drive into the game, and not
let them up until the game is over.
The Besemer student body will turn out
in full force to witness the battle Red"
refused to give his lineup, but it is
probable that re will use the same ono
that ne used in the Sidney Lanier game
last Friday.

ADJUSTMENTS
Belasco-"He and She"

Last nights representation OF new
play by Rachel Crothers was rather In
the nature of general repetition for
a selected audience than a completely
prepared and thoroughly rehearsed
public entertainment. The audience
was large enough to make liberal
evenings contribution to the war tax
on theatrical amusements.
Miss CrotherS in her p1aywriting
always aims at a sympathetic an
alysis of simple and clean sentiment
She allows circumstances and envir-
onment to influence the destinieS of
hero and heroine without the inter
vention of scheming and uncompro-
missing villainy. In doing so she sac
rifices punch" and thrill to de-
gree that often threatens loss of in
terest as the plot wends it's way to
simple idea, through conversation so
luxuriant that it threatens to become
a wilderness. But the situation at
which she arrives always has the
heart throb in it.
The struggle which her present
drama portrays is that of sincere. in
tellectual womanhood compelled to
make choice between home and
career. The spirit of the story is one
of strong common sense. Clean con-
science and resolute ambition pre-
pare the dilemma which seems at first
to battle the human affection by which
it is finally solved The play is
straightforward thinking and talking
all through, but the producer has
elected to have its expression at
tempted in the manner Of emotional
drama. The result is strained and ar
tificial.
A touch of personal interest was
added to the presentation by the ap-
pearance of the author in the role of
the woman who is compelled to learn
that life offers happiness to each, but
that none may hope to grasp all the
different kinds of happiness within a
single mortal span
