REGULAR MONDAY BILL IS TO BE, FOLLOWED BY SEMI CENTENNIAL CO
Fiue IO-Rounders Are Billed for Friday
 Afternoon

A galaxy of ring stars will perform at Rickwood park Friday afternoon, when the emi-eentennial celebration boxing entertainment will be staged. Five l0-round bouts, each one invoiv- ing Dixie stars, have been carded for the entertainment.
 In the headline bout, Marty Burke, the heavyweight from New Orleans, will meet Joe White. the Tuscaloosa giant, in Hereunder Burke has proven his> worth, while White has been coming to the fore fast lately by Knocking out the majority of his opponents during the past few months. Burke and White should stage a great bout
 The Card
 In the other 10-round bouts, the following men will meet:
 Battling Kelly and Battling Budd, 135 pounds.
 Dixie Jack Allen and Shifty Logan,
 Stanley Meighan and Kid Young, 129 pounds.
 Larry Avera and Sailor Bianque. 140 pounds.
 This lne-up brings together three local boys and five out-of-town scrappers. Burke, Meighan, Allen, Kelly, Avera. Logan and Blanque are well known to local fight fans, while Young and White have never fought in local rings before.
 AveYn-Blnnque Bout For genuine, hard scrapping, the Avera- Blanque bout should prove one of the best. Avera, speed mer- chant, Is well matched In Blanque, who, in addition to loads of speed, has & mule punch that would drop almost any man Blanque's weight on whom 1t landed solidly.
 Blanque is hard scrapper, pur- suing his man relentlessly. and never stalling. At least, that's the reputa- ton he has earned in his former bouts here.
 Allen vs. Logan Dixie Allen Is expected to have . hard time running down Shifty Lo- gan. The latter, a Memphis boxer. keeps his spectators on their toes with enthusiasm, for he always puts the punch in his scraps. He has a peculiar style of fighting that an- noys his opponent exceedingly. Battling Kelly has no set-up in Battling Budd. The latter. a very hard hitter, will end the bout the minute he lands solidIy. It is Kelly s business to keep out of the way of such haymakers. and he claims he can do 1t.
 Stanley Meighan will have a worthy opponent in Kid Young of Cincinnati. Young has met some of tho top notch fighters, and ought to give Meighan lots of trouble. These bouts. under the auspices of the local post of the American Le- zion, are for benefit of the legion's new clubhouse. The Boys club will also benefit from these bouts The fights Friday afternoon will begin at 2:30 o'clock.

Vanderbilt Wins
 From Longhorns
 In Festiue Battle

Dallas, Tex, october 22.-Vander- bilt made it's first appearance on a Texas grldiron in IS years here to- day and celebrated by defeating the Texas university Longhorns, 2S to O. Two Commodore touchdowns were due to intercepted passes, Bomar and Wade making spectacular runs for the scores. Smith kicked goals in both instances. The last two touch downs came in the last period when the Texas defense weakened.
 The First Score
 The first score came near the end of the second period after continual interchange of line bucks and punts, freely interspersed with fumbles on both sides, in which neither team seemed to have the advantage. \ Robertson attempted forward bass, which was intercepted by Vandy's captain, Wade, who raced 50 yards through a clear field fora touchdown, Smith kicking goal.
 The next two periods went score
  ening their play. Several times Texas threatened the Commodore s goal posts through a series of smash ing line plunges and forward passes but each time the Vanderbilt line held and prevented.
 Bomar Scores
 Early in the fourth period, Bomar duplicated Wade's feat by snatching Robertsons pass and making a beau tiful 60-yard run to the Orange and White goal posts. Smith booted his second goal.
 The tnlrd score came soon after when Texas was penalized half the distance of the field tor slugging by pena, who was put out of the game, a penalty which set the Long Horns back to their 20-yard line. From this point Vanderbilt began a series of de- termined line bucks, and after the Texas team again had been penalized to their first yard line. Godchaux plunged through right tackle and landed safely behind the Texas goal.
