Bill Darts, "The Dyer" was the man that Corcoran whipped with one blow. And the tale of Darts career, leading up to that contest is one that is filled with many stirring incidents. Darts became the ninth champion somewhere along in the summer of 1764 by virtue of his vic- tory over Tom Juchan. Having success fully defended the title for nearly five years, Darts became extremely boastful. He challenged the world, whereupon a boatman named Lyons of Kingston upon-Thames accepts the defi after spendings weeks. influencing friends to put up the necessary s25o side bet. And the fight was staged in June, 17ss, near Kingston.
 DARTS BEATEN
 Darts went out to finish Lyons in a. hurry. But he failed. For Lyons was the Battling Nelson of that era Darts punched Lyons to a bleeding, battered pulp-but he couldn't knock him out. And at the end of 4S minutes of fighting, during which Darts landed 50 blows to one, Darts was nearly exhausted Then Lyons, the original iron man, went out,
  fashion and dropped the champion for the long count.
 So it was that Lyons became the tenth champion of the world. But in one week he surrendered title, announced that he never would fight again-and he never did. Failure of his terrible facial wounds to heal rapidly had cured him of the ring game.
 Darts at once reclaimed the crown. Ste phen Oliver, nicknamed Death because of the pallor of his face when in battle, disputed it. They battled at Putney on March 25, ITO. and Darts won rather easily.
 Just about that time the world began to hear of Corcoran. He had whipped a half dozen English fighters of more than ordinary prominence and loudly boasted that he could whip any English man that lived. Darts, angered at the slur, challenged and Corcoran accepted. They fought on May IS, 1771.
 The fight took place during the races at Epson For some days before the battle Captain O'Kelly, a well-known Irish sportsman, stunned the fistic fol- lowers with this announcement: ''Tll back Corcoran with every dollar I own. Now come on. you Britishers, and put up your money" O'Kelly was the only man who seemed to figure that Corcoran had a betting chance-but he covered with almost

 Alabama students and alumni have " ondered if it was Coach Heisman's desire to put forth the merits of Judy Harlan that caused him to minimize the prowess of Stevenson. They ad- init that Coach Hesman has perfect riSo to his opinion but believe that he whose word is considered as au- thori-2t tive in southern football was partial toward Harlan. who admittedly merits good share or praise.
 As Coach Scott of the Crimson Tide has coached both Harlan and Steven son. his opinion should be given more than a passing notice.

ALBERTV|LLE AND BESSEMER SHOULD

Two Teams Have the Best Claims to State Champion ship, and Game Would
 Decide Title

 tenders for the state prep chnm-
 pionship. have becs castinE chaI-
 lenEcS for pOst-seasOn games to
 the four winds. yet definite
 arrangements have been mude to
 play a game to decide the title. It
 seems that the proper thing to do
 under the circumstances is to get
 two of these teams together to
 play deciding game.
 Bessemer officials have expressed their willingness to meet either Fay ette or Albertville, and Albertville is very anxious to meet Bessemer. if all reports can be relied upon. If a game could be arranged between the two it would do a great deal towards decid- ing the title.
 Coach Harris has about the finest prep organization in. the state out at Bessemer and the writer considers that if any team can conquer this eleven it should be entitled to the champion ship. On the other hand. if Bessemer can whip Albertvillo she will have about the best claim to the title her self.

University. December 1.--tSpecial)- Supporters of the Thin Red Line" are very much peeved at Coach Heismans reference to Stevenson. Alabama's bril- liant fullback. as the greatest over rated man in the south" They believe that the coach of the Georgia Tech team has done Stevenson a great in- justice and greatly underrated his ability as a gridiron performer.
 Coach Heisman only saw "Stevie" perform one time during the season, that being the Alabama Georgia game at Atlanta In the first place. the Tech mentor mistook Stevenson for Alabama's quarterback and referred to him as the one calling the signals in ar article appearing in an Atlanta paper. As a matter of fact, Alabama s fullback never called signals in his life. This no doubt explains Heisman's s failure to see the good work of Steven son.
 If the showing of Stevenson in the Georgia game was not as noteworthy as in other games the pilot of the Golden Tornado should have been in-
