Wild-eyed supporters of both
teams are already claiming a VIC
tory for their favorites in the
Thanksgiving day clash, but the fact
remains that the two elevens will
be on practically even terms when
they line up for battle Thursday
afternoon. There's little to choose
between them, and itsis a cinch that
the struggle will be one long to be
remembered and worth witnessing.
II Central High is to have chance
to win, the Green and Gold warriors
must stop Charley DeSaussure and
Les Bacherig, fullback and quarter
back, respectively, of the M. U. s.
team. IS
These two stlrdies will do the
lions share of carrying the ball
for the Red and Blue and they
have shown in past games that
they are far from any setups to
overhaul. Especially has De-
Saussure been a power on the
offensive for the M. U. S. ma
chine. He battered his way to
touchdown and victory for M.
U. S. over the University of
Tennessee lDentals. hammering
through the stonewall defense of
the molar experts. DeSaussure
was hurt in that game, and is
not in the best of shape for the
Thanksgiving day battle, but he's
determi8ed to go in and help his
comrades in the battle for the
Memphis championship and will
i remain in the lineup until he is
totally incapacitated.
Bacherig is one of the leading field
generals in Memphis, and will han
die the Red and Blue in the same
masterful style that has marked his
generalship in the present seasons

One OF the pretuast legends Of Chi

girl aud The herd laddie who are said
to be Two stars in the sky.
In Ear of days, Jove took pity on
their loneliness and married them.
They were so happy IN their connu-
bal hllss-this proves the date to have
been very long ago in the days Of
"once rpon time that they neglect
ed thcir tasks and were hanlshed to
opposite sides o. The Milky Way,
whore they wins ut oach other all the
year round, hUi are only allowed to
cross for Il BRIEF spell Of happiness on
ne seventh day of the seventh moon.
On that night shy maidens place u
few sticks OF incense with some sweets
aud fruit on table In the inner court
yard as an Offering TO the two stars,
perhaps with an uneypressed prayer
that in their own case the course Of
true love may run more smoothly than
It did for the immortal lovers in the
sky.
