.Aggies Here
 MFine Shape
 orBigGan1e

When F. c. Holtkamp, foot ball tutor at the Mississippi A. & M., put his charges to bed last night after an all-day trip from Starkville, the football gladiators who wear the Ma room and White weren't in the hospital.
 This assertion may seem apropos of nothing, but it isn't. For going to bed in regular fashion means something for the Mississippians following a season or what coachers call unparalleled hard luck in which almost every man on the eleven was laid up with injuries from time to time.
 The Mississippians arrived in Birming- ham at 7:50 last night in the pink of con {. dition for their annual turkey day game with University of Alabama and, like a stern parent, Coach Holtkamp hustled everybody to the rooms after dinner. 1t required three managers to collect the entire outfit. but this was done in rec ord time.
 "Go to sleep and don't get up until we call you,' was the goodnight greeting of the coach. And he meant it.
 Funny thing-about this Holtkamp: ar- ter breakfast this morning he's going to see to 1t that his pupils do just so, and that means he is going to call taxis and send the whole aggregation. consisting of A men, to the Birmingham Country club, where they will be under instruc- tions to take it easy'' and forget there's a game today. That's what Coach Holtkamp would ~cau psychology of football.
 Being around lobby that's buzzing all day, where the players will be be- sieged with questions which will keep their minds on nothing but the impenG- ing struggle, isn't good for them,' ne explained. "If could have arranged it. would have vastly preferred a hotel way out in the sticks. Then when 1 brought 'em to town-well. they'd be ready for action, and plenty of it''
 Neither Coach Hoftkamp nor Athletic Director Chadwick would predict the out come of the turkey day battle. "I realize Alabama has great team" said Coach Holtcamp. T have seen the university eleven in action and it is one of the best offensive machines in the country. So and White.
 "As to A. and M. we do not really know yet just what we have got. This is the first time this season the team has been all together, and it remains to be seen what the men can produce. or this I am certain, however: there is a wonderful lot of potential power in the Maroon and White, and it is fighting team. We have some great individual players and, on the whole, well knit team. If my men give me all they'v ve got, that's all I ask"

Boorde Beats Budd M Very
 Fast Battle

Fighting perhaps the best fight of his career, Freddie Boorde last night defeated Battling" Budd, of Atlanta, in one of the fastest 10-round bouts staged at the B. A. C.. this season.
 outclassing his opponent at every angle. there was little doubt in the minds of everyone who witnessed the match that Freddie woull get the decision and when Referee Parry raised the local boys hand in sign of victory shout of pleasure and congratulations rang from many lusty throats.
 Freddie entered the ring with every thing apparently against him. He was outweighed at least 10 pounds and con- ceded Budd much in heighth and reach Not at all daunted, however. Freddie waded in and soon demonstrated his SUI periority.
 The first round was Budd's' by shade, Freddie landed one solid smashing blow, but, in general, Budd was more effec- tive.
 Round 2-Boorde jolted Budd with sew eTaf SOfQ FlBntS anu ittlS Lo tuC l<1SS and body. It was Freddie's round easily.
 Round 3-Boorde had the "one, two" motion working fine in this session and landed several consecutive blows. Boorde fell to the mat. apparently ripped by Budd. who was warned by Referee Parry. Boorde's round by shade.
 Round 4-Despite a jolting left 5ab to the face, Boorde took the round, his jabs and punches rarely failing to find a mark in Budd.
 Round 5--Boorde damned Budd into the ropes in this round and slugged him heavily several times before the Atlanta fighter could fight himself free. It was Freddie's round.
 Round 6-Boorde again took the round He landed at least six solid blows. Budd was beginning to counter better, but Boorde's aggressiveness was winning points for him.
 Round Tt was Boorde's round again. He continued to take the offensive and once damned Budd into the ropes with swinging right and rush.
 Round S-This round was even. Boorde jumped from his corner at the tap of the gong and rushed to Budd's corner meet ing the Atlantan as he was coming up for the round. He received a stiff jab, which brought blood to his mouth for his rashness. He settled down. however. and evened up the round with several light but effective blows.
 Round 9--Boorde's aggressiveness gave him the ninth round, which was one of the slowest of the fight.
 Round 10--The tenth was even. Budd rallied and seemed to be trying for knockout Boorde continued his aggres- siveness, however. and held the .Atlantan on even terms.
 In the preliminarles. first bost, Ba- brango and Arnold fought fSur-round draw.
 Joe Dickey forced Paul Livernan's seconds to throw up the sponge in the second round, scoring technical knock out over the University fighter.
 Price whipped Jackson in two-round- CT for the colored middleweight cham pionship of the city.

Bulldog EleDen
 To Play Jackson Grid 7'ean, Today

Coach Marshall and his crew of Bull dogs left yesterday for Jackson, Missls- sippi, where they will meet millsapps col lege in the game which finishes up the most trying season that any Howard squad has had to go through with.
 As result of some hard knocks re- ceived in the game with the Panthers, the Bulldogs will have some radical changes in their line up when they go in to fight the Jackson boys. In the first place, Peahead Walker will prob ably play fullback in Speed" Acton's s place. Speed went with the team all right but he is not in the best of condition and since the Howardites are not expect ing anything extremely rough. Walker will be found carrying the old pigsk,n in Acton's place and Howard fans who saw the game last Saturday are not worrqing in the least over the style in which he will go over the line. ToSy Robinson, the smallest man in Howard s backfield. will hold down quarterback and, while "Peahead' will probably cali signals from fullback Robinson's friends and others who have seen him in action are wagering their hats that he will turn in some tall gains for the Howardites and they are probably prophecying right. too. for. although he is too light to hit the line very often, Toby is some speed specialist
 Another shakeup is at left end, which will be occupied by MacCiilough in- stead of Lee Head who has heretofors been holding down this position. Head will not be allowed to play today as result of a bad ankle. owever, Mac cu..ough is an artist at end and if the Millsappers gain anything around his part of the line they will have to conccet some better ideas on the subpect than other teams that Howard has played this year have been able to get together.
 The Bulldogs have been beaten by one Mississippi team this season and they are going to fight hard to keep the Millsap- pers from adding another.

Crimson Team Is FdUOrI te|
 OUer A Aggies
By JACK FREEMAN

University, November 24.- Special. )-The Crimson Tide entrains Thursday morning for the Magic City, where it will stage that afternoon a gigantic battle with the Aggies from their sister state, Mississippi.
 Going to Birmingham with last years victory still ringing in their ears, the Crimsons will be pardoned for feel ing that they enter the lists with a small edge over their neighooring rivals
 If there is one thing which the ex- bring 1920 season has demonstrated to southern gridders, 1t is the fact tLat the Alabama squad possesses the most powerful offense machine of any team in the south This is barring none of them, gentlemen. and the said asser- ton is open to free-for-all disputation. Another fact which this season has shown to the intense followers of the pigskin warriors is that the Crimson line was one of the most under--a:ed in the south. Entering the season with Ia skeptical following, the Crimson line has held staunchly in every encounter and not single touchdown has Eeen made through 1t. When Alabama was engaged in some of her smaller games on the campus at the beginning of the year. some followers shook their heads and said the Alabama line could not hold against the onslaughts of the mighty elevens she was later to en- counter. But Alabama went against Sewanee and came through with her goal still inviolate. Next she pitted her strength against the Vandy Con mo-
 dores, with the result that her goal was crossed but one time and that on
 forward pass. Next in order the Tide locked horns with the l.. s. U. Tigers ana held them off from their goal Lastly. Georgia Bulldogs scored a close defeate over the Crimson Tide with three touchdowns from as many flukes, each of them made when Ala bama was on the offense. Tough lock, but it's football Our contention is hat the Crimson line deserves credit and lots of 1t. Praise to those who over
 shoot the mark. the which the Alabama line has certainly done.
 LAST APPEARANCE
 Birmingham will witness this won
 derful backfield and this surprising line |for it's last time on Thanksgiving Day when the Alabama Mississippi A. and M. battle is celebrated at Redwood. Not only this. but she will for the last time witness the madly charging Ste- phenson rip off yard after yard of op- posing territory and render helpless before him the futile blockades of the enemy. After his final appearance on a southern gridiron, Stephenson will be presented brief introduction to northern fans when the Alabama t. am engages the squad from Case college lin Cleveland the Saturday following Thanksgiving Day. The Alabama eleven will entrain in Birmingham for the Ohio city, and will be en route all of Friday
 Thursday affords Birmingham's lmst opportunity of seeing the renowned Alabama eleven. so it should turn out l in huge numbers. There will likely te great many Alabama students to Journey to the Smoky City for this l great game.
