Pine Bluff High schools football eleven goes against the Little Rock Hioh school eleven Saturday after noon at Little Rock in the state high .cuool football classic of the year. po+b teams are undefeated in the scholastic class.
 With a record of two victories, three defeats and one tie over the last last eight years, Pine Bluff High school has an opportunity to even the count, though it will take ster- ling offense and strong detense to stop the Tiger eleven this fall. The Little Rock team, like the locals, have beaten every team in their own class this fall with the exception of one tie score.
 Coach Bassett yesterday afternoon put his eleven through a rigorous one hour scrimmage, the hardest they have had this year, and the last long one they will have before enter ing the Little Rock gmae. Today the gates will be closed against every one but coaches and advisers, and after a brief scrimmage, signal prac- tice will be the rule. The order of work for Friday has not been dis closed.
 "The boys are in better shape and in better spirits than they have been al lyear," Coach Bassett said after yesterdays workout. "They have more fight in them now than they've ever had"
 Not since the post season game of several years ago when Pine Bluff played at Conway for the stale championship has interest in the team been so intense. Former high school stars were out in force yester- day and helped with the workout. Freelin Christopher, star half of a number of years ago, was assisting in the practice and John Bloom, who played number of years at the u. of A. and who annually, despite busi- ness duties, is on deck when the Lit tie Rock game arrives, worked vlgor- ously with the men. After the pra:- tice, Bloom made an inspiring talk to the squad that brought grim deter imitation to the faces of his hearers. Assistant Coach John Sorrells was not out yesterday # afternoon be- cause of illness. He will be with the team at Little Rock, however, as one of Coach Bassett's aides. Sor rells has worked with the team all year and has been of great assistance in rounding them to form.
 Coach Bassett will take a squad of 22 men to Little Rock Saturday. This is the largest number of men he has taken on road trip so far. Every player who has showed anT- thing at all this year will be in uni form at Kavanaugh Field Saturday.
 The second of series of foot ball rallies will be held at the high school this morning when Major Dan Taylor and E. J. Kerwin will be the principal speakers. Hubert Strange, w. C.. Alexander and others will be pres ent to participate. The rally vii be held at the high school auditorium at 9:20 and all alumni have been ask ed to attend
 At a rally yesterday morning, Judge w. B. Scrrells, E. A. Howell. Dr. William Breathwit, Henry Jor- dan and others made talks. Another rally will be held tomorrow.
 Fully 200 high school students and as many more football enthu- siasts will make the trip to Little Rock Saturday.
