Interchurch Noses
 Out NOrwood Team

The Inter Church team brought its season to a close yesterday by de= teating the boys from Ncrwood to 6. Norwood outplayed the church team in all departments of the game. but lacked the punch 10 score. The church boys entered the fray with half back on the side fines and a scrub at end, This scrub proved the undoing of the Norwood team, how ever in the last quarter he raced 20 yards down the field, caught pass and carried it 30 yards more to a touchdown.
 Norwood failed to carry the ball across the goal line when they were only a yard and half away. The church men fought the Norwood boys To the last step and only by their grit won out.
 McRoberts was the whole show for Norwood. His long gains through the line were features.
 Capt. "Bo" McHenry played his usual good game at quarter for the church team, while Maxwell, who was taken from end and put in the back field. starred on the defense for the church boys.
 Earl Tingley refereed the game and handled 1t in fine fashion, Mir. Til- lery acted as head linesman.
 Coach Sessions deserves a lot of credit for the team that he has put out this season. He had at the start a light. green squad. and out of them he made light. fast team. His backs were haxnpered all season by injuries, two of them being out most of the time.
 Coach Sessions team defeated such teams as Jones Valley. West End and many others. The complete record of the team follows:
 Interchurch 6, Pell City 13 r Interchurch 6, Shades Cahaba !.

season game between the football teams of Birmingham Southern and Howard college, to be played at Rick wood park week from Saturday This game. on December 3, would be played for the benefit of the local Salvation Army.
 w. A. Berry, prominent alumnus of Howard college, In discussing the proposed game, stated that Howard officials would agree to the game Coach Marshall would be glad to have the game played, he stated, while Dr. J. c. Dawson, head Of the institution had expressed himself as willing for the contest to be played.
 Won't Make Statement.
 With Howard college authorities willing for the game all that remains Is for Birmingham Southern officials to agree. but this might prove hard proposition. When questioned last night regarding the proposed game, pr. Guy E. Snavely. president of the Owenton school. stated that he, so far, knew nothing of the proposition.
 No one has Said anything to me about such game" he said Even if l had been approached upon the subject, I would not have anything to say until I could talk matters over with Coach Brown
 The Partners have left for Tampa. Fla, to play Rollins college Thanks giving, and until Coach Brown re- turns have nothing else to say" \ The game should be a great draw ing card, as the intense rivalry be- tween the two schools and Birming- ham Southerns rather unexpected victory over the Bulldogs last Satur- day lends interest to the affair.

THE STEADY GRIND From Thrift Magazine

The fellow who knows how to grind gets there in the end.
 Some people are always looking for skyrockets. They believe human affairs are guided by the genius of luck. They believe in a Santa Claus for adults. They expect to wake up some morning and find themselves wealthy. famous and powerful. But the chariots of fire never appear. The golden lands that lie at the end fof the rainbow are never reached. Across their Armament the meteors of great success never flash.
 If there is anything that a vell- balanced man over 30 ought to know it is that genius is generally nothing but hard work disguised in fancy clothes.
 It's the steady grind day after day in the face of ups and downs that makes fellows dreams come true.
 Constant application, persistency and dogged determination are the qualities that win at last.
 Shaking dice with fate is a fools game. History records the victories of no man who was not day laborer In life's harvest field.
 Good luck Is the rarest flower that blows, and 1t blossoms mostly in the gardens of imagination.
 If your rival Is steady grinder, 'aok out for him.

SCHAEFER DEFEATS ' HOPPE IN FINALS

Chicago, November 22-wille Hcppe. worlds 1S.2 balk line billiard champion, lost his first champion ship match since 1912 when he was 1 defeated tonight by Jake Schaefer of Chicago, 400 to 26, in the interna- i tional tournament being held here. The victory gave Schaefer tie with Hoppe for first place and the title will be decided in an extra contest 1 to be played tomorrow night.
 Schaefer played spectacular game, during which he was at all times the master of the champion The youngster. a son of the famous billiard wizard of years ago, scored his 400 points in six innings, making runs of 192 and 150 Hopes playing also was spectacular, despite his low score, but Schaefer left him such difficult chances that he never was able to get the balls together for a string of points, although making several great shots.
 Hoppe Runs Fifteen.
 Hopps won the break and ran 15, missing difficult three-cushion shot. Schaefer, playing marvellous draw and masse shots, some of which ran the length of the table, scored 192 points before missing. One of his points in this run was three -cush- ion draw. On his miss, however, he left the champion virtually an im- | possible shot, and Hoppe missed.
 Schaefer added 19 in his second at l tempt then missed twice, scored go and ran out with 150. Hoppe missed in the third, made seven in the fourth, none in the fifth and four in the sixth.
 Schaefer played steady game, repeatedly stopping play to sand paper his cue before trying n hard shot, while Hoppe became nervous as the match progressed.
 Hoppe's Worst Beating.
 The defeat not only was Hopes | first in nine years, but also the worst beating he has ever received Since he became internationally fa- nous as billiard player, the cham pion has lost but three tournament contests In 1908 Jake Schaefer. the father of tonight's winner. defeated Hoppe, 800 to 423. In 1912 Koji Ya' mada, the Japanese, won from the champion 500 to 497.
 During his career as world title holder Hoppe has defeated every player of importance in the world and was looked on as unbeatable. He lis 34 years old and Schaefer Is 26.
 Roger Cont, the French champion lost an opportunity to win third place | in the tournament when he was de- feated this afternoon by Ora Morn ingstar.
 Cont and welker Cochran tied for third and fourth places.
 Both players agreed that tomor- row nights match should be boo points instead of 400.
