TEAMMADE
EXCELLENT SHOWING
AGAINST TECH HIGH
Crimson Aggregation Was
Out-Weighed 80 Pounds
to the Man-Big Prep
Title Possible
Nv MARVIN M,cARrY

Central pulled one of the biggest sur
prises of the year Saturday. when the
crimson colored football eleven defeated
1s. The victory was gained by margin
of point, but from ali reports the locals
well deserved to win.
The Tech High. team averaged 40
pounds, while the Central bunch will
tip the beam on the average of 141
pounds There must be something to
fill up this lack of so pounds. That some
thing is fight and ability.
when those Tech fellows came on the
field Saturday some of our fellows act
ualiy thought they were a college
eleven" said Coach Burbage.l 81 have
never seen such a heavy aggregation rep
resenting a prep school. Some of those
fellows actually weighed $50 or more,
while the average could not have been
under 40. The Central team is excep-
tionally light for a high school eleven,
and from all appearances we ought to
have been swamped Saturday.
However we were not. 1t was a pleas
ure to see the light crimson line hold
ing those heavy Tech boys. The whole
team was fighting as it had never fought
DeIOre. Inc tlfles Greatly UutWSlSheu, was
actually putting it over those Tech fell
lows have never seen such an exhi-
bition of fight before. OF course, there
we're times when Tech almost had us,
but each time the Crimson line rose up
and held their opponents for downs
If Central beats Bessemer Thanksgiving
there will be only two teams in her way
for southeastern championship. Those
two teams will be the Albertville Aggies
he Of Atlanta Tech
High will probably beat Boys High, so
one may safely say that the Albertville
team is all that will be in the. way. On
the-other hand, if Bessemer beats Cen

her and the oh smpionship.

The New York Sportsman club failed

suggest something new in the way oil
having off fighters that might help
some to arouse interest in the heavy
weight class.
Prmoter Mackay, in turning down
Meehan's demand for $125o0 as his bit,
made a counter offer of $1,000 round
for an eight-round match. II Willie
would take the match under those con-
ditions ana stick it out for eight rounds
he would earn $4,000 for his evening
work and that isn't so bad. But Willie
couldn't see it.
OF course, there is some argument as
to whether Willie could stick eight
rounds or not He has done fairly Wen

Dempsey of today is a different man.

BESSEMER ON WAY

PREP CHAMPIONSHIP
Central Causing Tiger Much

ty Comes Friday
nv Erred SMITH

The Bessemer High school has the state
championship almost cinched, as they
have only two more games to play this
season, one with jefferson County on
next Friday afternoon at the Bessemer
rolling mill field and the other on Thanks
giving with their ancient rival Cen
trail. The game next Friday should not
be more than light scrimmage for the
Tiger. but they will have their hands
full when they clash with Central.
If they beat Central they will be in
the race for the southern prep school
championship. as Central defeated the
fast Tech High school last Saturday
and Tech was classed as the best prep.
school team in the south. But if Central
defeats Bessemer the championship will
be in a big tangle with Bessemer, Ensley
and Central all holding share in it.
At the present Bessemer has the edge
on all the other schools of the state,
as they have not been scored on this
year
Red" Harris will spend the next two
weeks driving his squad through the
hardest scrimmage that they have had
this season He will also devote great
deal of his time strengthening his de-
Tense for the Central game. Red has a
great team of the offense. and they VIII
stack up with any prep. team in the
state on the defense, but he is not
taking any chances on the Centraiites.
on the defense he has some of the best
men ever seen on local high school
team in Thomas and Sweet. While on
The offensive there will not be any men
found in the state that win compare with

When asked what he thought about the
e-entraI-Tech game, Red said: Cen

game of the season when they meet
them .,.o

going to have his hands full getting
ready for it, but you may rest assured

MY ADVICE TO MY DAUGHTER''
MONEY MAKE SUCCEED IN WORK,
 SAYS SUCCESSFUL ACTRESS
By KITTY GORDON.

Dearest Vera:
 Actors are said to be extremely improvident. But I've found, in my wide experience with stage and screen folk, that exactly the opposite is true. Actors are always thinking about the future, laying something aside for old age, preparing them selves for advancement in their art, and making friendships which will prove profitable in business and so- 'cial affairs.
 Early in my career on the stage I had 9 heart-to-heart talk with my self. l said: Kitty, you've got to make your own way in the world. It's up to you to make living for yourself and your daughter. You're making quite a lot of money now and l fyou yield to your desires and spend all you make on clothes and flowers and a good time, you Il have a great time while it lasts, but what will happen tomorrow if you lose out?'
 So right then and there I began the habit of saving. l am having good time every day, but I am not living for the day alone. am think ing and preparing for the inevitable future.
 In the natural course of events, Vera, you will live for long time. It's all right to say: Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die,'' but that's what seldom happens. Too many of us eat and drink and are merry with all that we have in the world and tomorrow, instead of dy- ing, we live and are penniless and unhappy. Too late we find out that the wisest plan would have been to give a thought to the morrow on every day of our journey through life.
 .So want to advise you, my dear, to be provident. Save money. Don't be penuriousf but save money and invest it wisely. And make friends. Friends are the greatest asset in the world. I believe The humble person who was your friend yesterday is the big person of tomorrow and is
