 Many of those who took part in the parade accompanied the team to Delta View park. where Coach Meyers gave his players their last instructions before the big game.
 Bessemer is no less enthused over the game than Central. Pep meetings have been held and the student body has de- clared itself to be solidly behind it's team. Bessemer is expected to turn out en masse for the battle today.
 MUCH AT STAKE
 Much will depend on the outcome of the game this afternoon. Perhaps the state title will be won by one of the two teams. Centrals game with Ensley Thanksgiving may be the deciding battle for the championship, so to have look in on the bunting. the Crimsons must at least hold Bessemer to S tie today. Bes- semer. by beating Central. would then secure q strong hold on the title.
 Neither team has been defeated this year and both have eliminated some Of the strongest contenders for the title. Gen. tral has not been scored this year, while Bessemers goal line has been crossed but once. Bessener has scored more points against opponents than Gen. tral has and seems to be the best scoring machine of the two.
 Bessemer seems to be the favorite to win the game today, but Central Is ex- pected to put up mighty hard fight and would not surprise many by holding the Tigers to a draw or even winning out over Bessemer The general opinion, however, is that Bessemer has the bet ter chance to win.

The game today is regarded by many as glorious triumph for local prep foot ball, for it marks the strengthening of re- lations between Central and Bessemer, relations which only q few weeks ago seemed doomed to break. The threatened breach between the two schools was averted. however, and the two football teams of the two schools are meeting today as in the many years before. A feeling of truer sportsmanship has sprung up between the Crimson and the Purple and the game today should be model of good, clean, hard playing.
 GENERALS PEP PARADE
 Central High School took complete charge of the town yesterday afternoon. The entire school turned out and took part in a monster pep parade Led by the high school band, the procession wound through the man streets of Bir- ningham and finally drew up in front of the Athletic club. With the foot ball team clustered about the upper bal cony, the students of High School gave three cheers for the team, coach and sponsors.
 The sponsors. namely Misses Susie Smith, Naomi Jaffe, Ella May Lawley, Mary Emma Strong. Florence Lyle and Mary Elizabeth Southgate, were at the head of the parade, following behind the band in a Crimson bedecked automobile.

CHALLENGES LEONARD

Tender for months has opined that he'd like to battle Leonard; has frequently ex- pressed the belief that he could whip the champion. Leonard some months ago decided that he'd give Tender the chance to make good his boasts. He offered him fight But Tendler quibbled about poundage, and the battle was off
 When Rickard began looking around for suitable foeman for Leonard he gave the weiehtiest thought to Tender. Recalling the Tender demands in reference to Leon- ards weight, Rickard received assurance first of all, that Leonard would make the weight which Tender required.
 Then Rickard thinking all was clear sailing, got in touch with Tender and his manager. He offered s25, ,0o0 for Tend ler's services, figure practically un- heard of for lightweight aspirants. When the announcement of his offer was made 1t was presumed to be q certainty that Tender would accept.
 But Tender didn't.
 DEMANDS DOUBLE
 His manager promptly demanded $50. GOO and Rickard naturally wagged his head and muttered nix"
 This action by Tenders manager in asking an amount which he must have known he never could get. because of it's absurdity. appeals to many as the means Tender took to dodge battling Leonard. And now there is the feeling that when Tendler squabbled over the weight thing some time ago, il was solely because he wanted to make impossible conditions, and so gracefully withdraw from the proposed match.
 Tendler, in ducking a meeting with Leonard, is showing a lot of shrewd- ness. For Leonard is one of the greatest warriors of his weight that ever lived: fighter well-nigh invincible and one who probably, would score a knockout triumph over Tender.
 If put to sleep by Leonard. Tenders drawing powers against inferior foes would wane. By side-stepping the cham pion, after posing in the role of chal- lenger, he can continue taking on me diocre performers and thus reap golden harvest. ass x. Copyright, 1920 by King Features Syn

 Sewanee, Tenn, November 17.--(spe- c.al.)-Rain, which turned to slest and then snow on top of that is what the weather gods have served up to :he Tigers so far this week. Just when the Purple warriors need all the prac- tice they can get-and they need a lot -the weather must needs get. in the way and do all it can to prevent the team rounding into that shape that will be needed to wind up the season on Thanksgiving Day.
 Sewanee's defeat at. the hands of Tennessee and the tying of Virginia ty Vanderbilt has made the duel between the Tiger and the Commodore look very rosy-for the Commodore. Compara- tive scores would seem to give Vandy the edge by 30 or more points The Ti- ger is not willing to concede any edge. The end of the season is in sight, and the Tiger is going to make it end Tn burst of glory. What the coaches .an do to the team between now and the twenty-fifth remains to be seen. What the Sewanee fans believe they can do is to put the finishing touches on a machine that will give Vandy run for the money, and possibly the sur prise of her life.
 Whether the weather remains as it is or whether it relents and serves up some real weather for practice. not a day is going to be lost and the Tigers are going to be put through the paces with only one object in view-Vander- bilt. There is nothing else on the aor- izon. The two defeats of the season have already been put behind, and on- ward to victory over Vanderbilt IS the slogan of the Sewanee Tiger.

Tendler Refuses
 $25, 900 Offer To. Meet Leonard

Tex Rickard seems to be believer in transforming boxers into newly rich"
 The purses which the promoter is offer ing fighters, even those of the second and third flight in pugilism, makes fandom gasp a bit more each day. Rickard in the last few weeks has offered to several fighters, non-champions. bigger money for 45 minutes of scheduled battling than some really famous warriors made in a lifetime.
 Rickard waved $25oo0 before Lew Tend Ter of Philadelphia, and said:
 "It's yours-if you'll fight Benny Leon- ard
 But Tender didn't accept. His failure to do so has caused many persons to as- sert that Tenders insistent challenging of Leonard for more than a year was not sincere-merely an effort to get ques- tionable publicity for himself
