Big Battles
On Dixie GridirOns
Indicated Mississippi Aggies Go Up Against Auburn Tigers
in Birmingham-Georgia Tech Takes on Georgetown
University at Atlanta.

Three games stand out in general interest among the Is or more
football contests scheduled for Saturday on Southern grdTons. They
are the duel that is to be fought at Charlottesville, Va, between the
eevens from Vanderbilt and the University of Virginia, the initial con-
test between Georgia Tech and Georgetown University of Washington,
ID. c., in Atlanta, and the game in Birmingham in which Auburn takes
on the unbeaten Mississippi A. & M. team.
Starting out as though in for a disastrous season, the Old Do
minion eleven has improved in its play, and though not up to the
standard of 1915, promises to give the Commodores a desperate battle.
Vandys victories over Auburn and Alabama make football followers in
this section expect the Commodores to come through with the larger
score.
The GEORGETOWN eleven, hailed in the East as a Southern team and
heralded locally as a Northern aggregation, went into Atlanta with a
strong team and one with a reputation for hard fighting and power in
attack. Techs 3 to 0 defeat by Washington and Lee a week ago has.
if anything, increased Atlanta interest, and the Yellow Jackets are
going into the game with the slogan of MAKE Georgetown Remember
the W. & L. Game"
The Mississippi Aggies, who have piled up impressive scores
throughout the season, have not, in the opinion of many critics, met
teams of the class of Vanderbilt. Auburn, Alabama, Georgia Tech and
Washington and Lee as yet, and when they take on Auburn today
the eleven will have a chance to prove its mette.
Washington and Lee goes into the game with the University of
South Carolina at Lexington a picked winner, Two other games of
special interest are those between Alabama and Louisiana State at
Baton Rouge and Tulane and Georgia 1t Augusta.

tional was due to win the honors every

true enough, the five-year swing Of the

MOVE CLAIMS THE
LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE
Won Over Tender by Foul and
Says Leonard Can't
Make Weight.

Since Johnny Noye won from Lew
Tender on a foul in Denver recently
he has claimed the lightweight cham
pionship, Noye bases his claim Ia the
title on the fact that Benny Leonard
no longer can make the lightweight
limit of 1873 pounds and Lew Tender
was considered the best man of the
class, Noye is now willing to meet
the Philadelphia battler in a return en-
gagement and is also ready to tackle
Leonard any time Benny says the
word. Noye is willing to meet Leonar1
at any Of the clubs in New Jersey.
However, it is probable that the bout
will not be arranged, as Noye makes
one provision, and that is that the
title holder must make the lightweight
limit.
According to word from Denver,
where the Tendler-Noye battle was
staged, the Quaker City lightweight
was warned twice by the referee for
hitting low before he was finally dis
qualified in the third round. After the
referee awarded the bout to Noye the
battler was examined, and the physi-
clans report said Noye was suffering
from bruises in the right groin.

PRINCETON TIGERS

10000 Fans in Bowl to Wit
ness Great Football
Clash.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 15,-Yale
and Princeton clash this afternoon In
one Of the great gridiron classics of
the season. After the wartime lapse
in football contests Of high caliber; in
terest in the game has revived with an
its old time enthusiasm and a crowd
of more han 60, 600 persons was eX-
pected to pack the Yale bow when the
whsle blows at 2 O'Clock. The last
battle between the Bulldog and the
Tiger was IN 1916 when the Blue was
victorious, 10 to 0.
Despite the splendid showing of the
Orange and Black against Harvard last
week and the ordinary record of Yale
in its early season games, the sup
porters of Old Eli were giving odds of
s to 4 in the early betting. Confidence
was high in the Yale camp. Yale out
weighs Princeton ar average of two
or three pounds to the man.

a perfect football day with enough sun
shine to make the lot of the spectators

G. B. G. DEFENDS TITLE.

to the boob championship of Memphis
friday afternoon by losing to Vocational
High, 1897. BY thus clearing up an
awkward situation, c. B. C. is entitled
to the paper cap and the old tin can,
The ,Collegians opened with a fine
rush and ran up two t%ouchdowns in the
first quarter, but as quickly as they
started fire, just as swiftly did they
fade out. Through the remaining three
fourths of the game G. B. c. was All

a lemon custard pie and a system of at
tack that persisted in springing forward
passes within her own 30-yard line. 1t

style, but it proved disastrous all the
way-but not quite poisonous enough for
G.. 3. G. to appreciate.
AS soon as the Purple and Gold be-
gan pegging passes around her danger
zone, Vocational began to score. And

stopped. The moment that Vocational

GIANTS MADE
EXTRA MONEY
-
McGraw's Men Showed Ma
tives of North How They
Play Ball.

Last Of the major league teams to de-
mobilize for the season, except the de-
tachment playing In Cuba under tho
name of Pirates, was the New York
Giants, who returned to New York on
Oct. 81. after their transforming trip
In the North, to receive their final pay
checks and then dispense. The players
who went a-bArnstorming are said to
have profited to the extent Of several
hundred dollars each and this, added to
the money they got out Of the worlds
series as second placers in the National
league race, fixed them up pretty well.
On their transforming trip the Giants
won II out of II games played. And in
one of their defeats, suffered in Mon
treal, Benton and McCarty were the
battery for the opposing team. In or
teams the Giants furnished the Mon
treal All-Stars with q battery, while
the Giants played with n Canadian
pitcher and catcher. Benton beat the
Giants single-handed in this game, as he
not only pitched a fine game, but drove
in the winning run for his side.
In their other defeat, suffered at
by a score Of 3 TO | by George Smith,
the former New York pitcher, who fin
ished the season with the Phillies.
Smith had pretty near a big league in
field behind him, as Stutfy McInnis
played first base for windsor. Davy
Shean, second base and Frank Gilhoo-
ley, the former Yank outfielder, third
base. McInnls' hitting won the game
for Windsor. Benton suffered the de-
feat.
The Giants took along their regular
team. as they had Frisch, Fletcher,
Doyle and Chase for an infield and
Burns, Kauff and Young in the outfield.
Catchers McCarty and Snyder and
Pitchers Benton, Barnes and Dubuc
rounded out the team, Eddie Brannick,
assistant secretary Of the Giants, ran
the party, and Billy Klein went along
as umpire,
KLEIN, however, couldn't keep entirely
out Of the worlds series, While the
series was being played Bill announced
the score OF the games by innings as
fast as they came in. He also an
nounced the names OF the Giant stars

AGGIES LOOK GOOD.

A defeat for the Mississippi Agales
by either the Auburn Tigers or Ala.
bama, which are yet to be met by the
farmer boys before the 1919 curtain Is
rune down, would scramble the Dixie
football dopte to such an extent that II
Is doubtful II the argument would ever
subslde as to what team is the real
champion Of Sunland.
The Apples still have a clean slate,
and have met all comers with a stiff
Wallop. But both the Auburn Tigers
and Alabama are hard nuts to crack,
and the acid test Is yet to come for the
Mlssissipplans. II the Ausies can sue
cessfuIIy turn back both Auburn ard
Alabama they will be real champions Of
Dixie and fully entitled to all honors
that may accrue
Georgia Tech, Vandy, Auburn and
Alabama have all been dropped, and
only the Aggles remain with their heads
whether or not they can retain their
present fast pace until the end on
Thanksgiving day. y
The one big feature of the 1919 grid
iron campaign is. that the Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets have had their stingers
removed.
After having lorded it over their less
fortunate fellow institutions for many
years, the Golden Tornado vas finally
reduced to the faintest of zephyrs by
Washington and Lee.
The 1919 season was not a complete
failure for Vandy. The Gold and Black,
while not being in line for the cham
pionship themselves, turned and gave
the Alabama warriors a kick down the
ladder just as they We're reaching for
another upper rung which led to the
championship.
The Commodores failed to develop the
punch that Coach Dan McGugin tried
to inject into them. and the year has
been a poor one as far as victories are
concerned, so poor in fact that only
one nightshirt parade has been INDUCED
in by the rah-rah boys of old Vandy.

Bull was given an assignment last sea-
