LARRY AVERA HAS MUCH
 CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF

The writer was advised yesterday ! that Walk Miller, who manages some of Dixie's premier fighters over in Att lanta, was willing to match his star boxer, Larry Avera. wiht both Freddie Boorde and Eddie Hanlon of this city, the little Atlanta scrapper to meet bc of them in one night.
 The suggestion was that Averas
 meet one of the two mentioned
 above, rest up while good pre-
 Hminary bout was being staged,
 then take on the second. Such n
 suggestion is startling, to say the
 least, especially when one cOnsid-
 CTS that either DOOrde or HanlOn is
 capable of giving Larry good
 fight by himself.
 . Avera holds a decision victory over Dummy Burlington, one of the est welterweights Birmingham ever pros duced, although Dummy later obtained revenge by winning a decision over 1 Avera
 No doubt the local boxing public would turn out en masse to witness Avera's attempt to execute the feat Of disposing of both local boys in one evening, but the chances are that the sportsmanship of the local bugs would not require Larry to undertake such a handicap to establish himself in their esteem. He has won it, anyway, by his clean, hard fights with Barring ton.

ALICEVILLE CLAIMS THE PREP TITLE OF
 SOUTHERN ALABAMA

Aliceville. November N.-(Special. )-The Aliceville High school Panthers defeated the strong Dallas County High school here Thanksgiving, 2S to 2, in one of the hardest fought football games ever staged on local gridiron. Alicevile got oH to good lead when they scored two touchdowns in i. the first quarter Captain Galley won the toss and chose to defend the north goal. Dallas kicked off. the Panthers received and carried the ball down the field on straight foot ball to Dallas County's 10-yard line, where they braced and held the Panthers for downs. Garner, bunting from behind bis own goal. sent the ball 70 yards down the field to H. Sanders, where the PantherS started another march, which was not stopped until Right Half H. Sanders went over for a touchdown. Captain Galley carried the ball over a few minutes later for the second touch- down. Stringfellow bucked over the third touchdown at the beginning of the third quarter. while Right Half H. Sanders scored the fourth on beautiful 4O- yard run around left end
 The Panthers would no doubt have piled up much larger score but for the fact that several substitutes were run in, which considerably weakened the offensive as well as defensive strength.
 The entire Aliceville team played a good game, but the work of Stapp, Nor row and Hagerman in the line was of high caliber, while Galley. Stringfellow and the Sanders brothers played a good game in the backfield. For Dallas Coun- ty Reddick at fullback and Cruise at half were the best ,ground-gainers. while Young at end played a great defensive game.
 Aliceville. with this victory, now claims the high school championship of southern half of Alabama, as the Dallas County boys had not met defeat in six games until they met the Partners here today.

 Dear MT. Mccarthy: I notice by the Birmingham papers of the 18th that Freddie Boorde of the B. A.

ELeuen Succumb To Injuries From
 Football Games

Chicago, November 27.-Football ex- acted a toll of II victims during the 1920 season, which closed with Thanksgiving Days games. according to reports to The Associated Press to- |day.
 The number of deaths was five great CT than in 1919 and one above the list of two years ago. There were twelve lives lost during the 1917 season, eight cen in 1916 and fifteen in 1915.
 The majority of the youths killed this season were high school players. who may have entered the game with out sufficient physical training Tor so rough sport and with only limited knowledge of the game. Only two cf the dead were members of college az gregations, two on college class teams One boy, 12 years old, was killed in a game of the Sandlot variety. Six cf the victims were members of the high school elevens.
 Defenders of the sport pointed to the fact that not fatality occurred in the big universities of the country where the game is conducted under exocrt physical direction and coeching. The development of the open style of play instead of the smashing game of . dozen years ago. and tho improved. heavily padded uniforms and headgsars is eliminating much of the danger, ac- cording to football. experts.
 The list of victims:
 Franklin Worrell. Omaha, Neb. 12 years old; died October 20 of rac- tured skull sustained in a "sandlot" game.
 Edward Bohn. St. Louis, Mo, 22 years old. halfback with Missouri School of Mines. died November of fractured spine as result of being tackled. Jack Reeves. B years cld. fallback with Kansas State Normal team, died November 2. paralyxed as result of spinal injury.

Lenoir Has
 Record For
 High Scoring
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Alabama's own achieved many triumphs in Cleveland yesterday. In addition to the feats of Reggie Stephenson, who, it seems, literally tore the Case line to pieces, Mullie Lenoir steps to the fore with a bit of accomplishment that is not to be ignored.
 By scoring two touchdowns against Case yesterday, Lenoir won honors fer being the seasons leading scorer of collegiate football points. .
 The two touchdosvns annexed by
 MuIiie yesterday his total up
 to 24 touchdowns, or IA points,
 which is exactly one point ahead of Benny Boynton of Williams Col
 lege, who was in the lead prev ious to the game yesterday.
 Lenoir, although he weighs only IA pounds Ga pound a point). is exceed ingly fast and slips through line ,Hke an eel through a wave or WILer.
 University has at least four
 things to be proud of in the foot ball line this year, namely, the victory over Case yesterday, Reg
 gle Stephenson, MuIIie Lenoir and the feat of playing three hard games in seven days, winning two of them decisively and losing the other by streak of bad breaks. UNIVERSITY WINS HONOR

 T am also advised that Eddie Hanlon has moved to Birmingham and is soon to be put on in match there.
 WOW! WILL TAKE ON
 TWO OF FEM AT ONCE
 T suggest that the club stage a real star card, matching Avera, first with Hanlon, then with Boorde, on the same night, putting on minor fight between the two. So confident are we that this would not be great undertaking, we will agree to any conditions that are reasonable for this kind of a match. Our only contention will be that a referee who is impartial shall judge the fight
 Trusting that you will grant me the favor of giving this matter a prominent place on your page, with kindest wishes and regards, I am, gratefully yours,

Mineola, N, r., November 27.-Six unsuccessful attempts to lower the worlds air speed Irecord over a one-kilometer course were made today at Mitchell field by Lieut.. c. C.. Mosley in the Verville-Pack- ard plane with which he won the Pulitzer aeronautical trophy Thanksgiving Day. The speed attained by the Verville- Packard was 1S6 miles an hour, as compared to ITS miles an hour made in the trophy event. The record is 192 ! miles an hour, set last November by Bernard, de Romenet, of France. The fastest time for the kiiometer today was 11.97 seconds.
 Army air service observers, after the flights, predicted the Verville- Packards speed would be increased by carburetor adjustments. They re- marked that the ground speed of the engine decreased after the take off"

RAISE EARLY UNIFORM TOMA-
 TOES BY PRUNING

Pruning and stalking the tomato plants will give earlier tomatoes that will be more uniform in size and shape. The fruit should not be allow ed to touch the soil for if the fruit Is wanted for home Use or for near by markets it will color much more uniformly if not allowed to touch the ground. The yield will probably not be any greater as a result of pruning and stalking but fhe oual- fly and earliness of the yield N-iIl ba affected.
 This will also allow the plants t9 set closer n ae rows two and 2 balz ta three feet being q good taHee with three and a half feet between the rows, and the plants 90 inches apart in the rows will be sufficient room.
 The stakes should be from one inch to one and one half inches square and five or six feet long and driven into the ground far enough so that they will be firm.
