OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
~HoIy Night" Regarded as One Of
Most Beautiful Songs.
Draw Nigh. lnmanueI," One Of Old
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

IT HE ancient Christmas carol, Holy
Night is German in its origin
and is considered by many persons to
he the most beautiful of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribcd 10 Martin Luther. but the
consensus OF expert opinion is that it
is much older than his time and Is one
OF the oldest Of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest fe Merry,
Gentlemen, Is English IN It's origin
ana dates back 10 about the beginning
of the SeyenteenJh century, although
The author OF the words and the com
poser of the music are. unkuOwn. The
fine Old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications of
sterling hymn tune and win probably
last as long as the verses with which
il is always associated.
The carol 3Daw Nigh, Emmanuel" :"
is one OF the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence. and both the words
and music far antedate any of the 9TH
ers The music is an o!d French mel
ody. dated from the Thirteenth cen
tury. although OF course, it has been
harmoulzed To conform With more
modern standards.
There is most curious but beauti-
full musical effect at the close Of this
carol The words of Draw Nigh, I'M
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music being taken from the
Mozarabic breyiary OF the Twelfth cen
tury, and it IS generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarabic breylary was for
mulated.
Another carol, "The First Noel -
has traditional French melody and
probably originated in Breton. al
though the exact origin Of this fine old
song Is somewhat in doubt.

Spring Hill Is

Mobile, November (speciai)- Nothing is being left undone by Coach Moon Ducote to prepare his men for their encounter Thursday with the Mississippi Choctaws on Monroe park gridiron. All week he has been running extra practice to harden up the Hillians as much as possible and give them the endurance to stand the terrible onslaughts of the Mississippians as well as to perfect the plays by which they hope to amass enough points to come out on the long end of the score.
 In the meantime in their camp over at Clinton. the Mississippians are not idle. They are putting the finish ing touches on these. wonderful plays that humbled Tulane and "Ole Miss'' and tied Florida and nearly did the same for Mississippi A. and M. The famous Goat" Hale is working every bit of speed and elusiveness that he Is capable of for this last supreme ef- fort of the season, and perhaps of his football career

BIG RING TOURNEY
 WILL TAKE PLACE IN BIRMIN M
Bill Streit Is Responsible for
 the Big Event Being Staged Here

The National Junior Amateur Ath- tetlc union boxing championships tourney, which will be held some time during February or March, have been awarded to Birmingham and will take place at the Birmingham Ath- letic club. Bill Streit Is the man re- sponsible for getting the tourney in Birmingham. He has been trying for this event for the Birmingham Ath- letic club for several years and seems as though the tourney has been we'll
 placed this year. as Mir. Streit and his associates have handled the 1 southern amateur tournaments for the past few years and all of them have turned out successful from every angle.
 This is one of the biggest amateur boxing events that takes place in the
 United States, being second only to the senior tourney, and 1t will give southern fans and southern boys the chance of seeing just how southern amateurs will stack up against their northern friends.
 MT. Streit deserves much credit for landing this tournament for Birming- ham as there. were a number of larger eastern cities, as well as others throughout the south and west, ang- ling for the big fistlc event. Bill Streit Is probably the biggest man in amateur athletics in the south to- day and his ability Is also recognized by men in the north who govern the national Amateur Athletic union, as is readily proven by the confidence
 that they bestowed upon him in awarding his club the tourney.
 While, he was at work Bill did not forget other cities of the south who are sport towns and he was respon- sible In large measure the award ing of the national 10-mle swim to Memphis and the ladies' meet to Rol- lins college of Florida.

CENTRAL ELEVEN WORKS HARD FOR THE ENSLEY CAME
Crimson Machine Is in Fine Shape and Playing Great
 Football

As the time for the Ensley fracas approaches, the Central High team is getting better every day, and Coach Meyers is counting on the Crimsons being In the best condition and ready for the hardest scrap of the year, when they meet the Jackets Thanks giving Day. At present the team Is generally in fine shape, and, with every man doing his best every day, the Crimsons have changed from eleven hard working men to smooth running machine. Every man in this machine has but on ethought, and.that is to give Ensley good walloping.
 It seems at present that the Cen tral backfield Is going 10 outshine the Jacket backs, as every man in the Crimson back field is In splendid shape and has been going good the whole season. The ones who will start against Ensley are Hoster, quar- ter; Anderson and Levvy, halves and Goat" Lillian, fullback.
 Anderson, who has been handi- capped with injuries for the past three games, announces himself o. K. now. He is not only making the ends dizzy with his speed, but he Is also causing llnesmen trouble with the uncanny way In which he finds holes when there don't seem to be any there.
 Jack Lillian Is proving himself to be one of the best fullbacks that ever played on a high school team, and st his present pace he should do some great things in the Ensley game. Lillian not only has gobs of speed, but he is also there when it comes to driving a line,
 Hoster and Levvy have also been doing good work in the backfield and should make good running mates for Lillian and Anderson.
 The line is playing in a form equal to the pace of the backfield. and it seems like the whole team Is going to be well balanced for the big struggle with the Jackets.
 Captain Rox and McNeil are the only two veteran linesmen, and both of them have been performing like old heads all of the year. Rox has always been one of the best tackles in the state. and this year is no ex- ception, as he Is showing up better than he has ever done before.
 McNeill is also showing worlds of stuff these days, and all Central sup porters are counting on him in the game against the Jackets.
 Aside from Rox and McNeil, Bow den, Majors and Holder are also show Ing up well and should do good against Ensley.
 The Jackets were beaten last year, but every man on the Central team must use all of his stuff to keep the Jaemkets from turning the tables this year.

PAINTERS LEAVE FOR BATTLE WITH
 ROLLINS COLLEGE
Florida Boys Doped to Win, But HiIItoppers Prepared
 to Fight

The Birmingham Southern college Panthers steamed out or the Magic City yesterday afternoon over the Central of Georgia on their trip to Tampa, Fla. to meet the strong Rol- lins college eleven in the final game of their season. The Turkey day bat tie in Tampa is expected to be q humdinser with the Panther in fairly good shape following their struggle with their foremost rivals Howard college, last Saturday.
 Although the Panthers will enter the fray against Rollins doped to lose by small margin, they will fight hard to upset the dope, as they did in the University of Chattanooga game that they won when they were doped to lose by four touchdowns. The "Hiltoppers" have shown q wonderful fighting spirit this season and have really outplayed every team they have triumphed over.
 The Hardest Gimme
 The game with the Bulldogs was perhaps the hardest game of the sea- son and forced the Partners to ex- tend themselves to win the combat. The Chattanooga game was almost on par with the Howard game, however. The game with the Look out City boys was nip and tuck all the way through, and it was not un- til the final minute that it was de- cded. due to the Moccasins great overhead attack.
 The forces of Coaches Charlie Brown and Jenks Gillem have went through fair season this time, hay ing won four games. lost three and tied one, with one more game re- maining to be played. The teams that have bowed before the Jungle Cats are Southwestern Presbyterian university, Marion institute, Univer- sity of Chattanooga and Howard col lege, while the Panther succumbed before Mississippi A. and M., Mercer university and Mississippi college. Millsaps held the Panthers to - tie in Jackson. Three of the games so far have been played oh foreign soil, where the Partners lost two and tied one. Another Is still to be played away from home. Five of the games have been played, in Birmingham where the Partners copped four of them and dropped one to Mississippi college.

ALABAMA IS BENT ON WINNING FROM MAROON ELEVEN
Crimsons Are Anxious to Win Remaining Games Of
 Schedule

Tuscaloosa. November 22.-tSpe- cial)-Only two more games remain on Alabama's schedule, and the Grim sons realize that the two remaining teams they have to meet, those or Tulane and Mississippi A. & M, will be two of the strongest teams they have met this season and that they will have to fight to their limit. Their ire has been aroused by their recent defeats and they are going to give everything they have to make the last games of the season successful.
 The Mississippi Aggies will be met in Birmingham Thursday. The Grim sons defeated the Maroons In their last two encounters, but in each game the Maroons came dangerously close to carrying off the laurels. Although defeated by Tulane and Tennessee the Maroons have been going strong this season and they seem to have a spe- cial craving for the blood of the Crimsons to get revenge for former years. On account of the loss of Clark they will present different backfield from that they have been using this year. so it is not known exactly what to expect from that de- partment, but they do not lack good men to fill up the holes of their team, which, on the whole, is in fine shape.
 With good football weather the Crimsons are working hard, scrim- maging in the afternoons as long as there Is enough light to distinguish the men. They were drilled for long time this afternoon on the de- fensive and the line threw back the heavy assaults of the scrubs like wall.
 Burkart, who has been recently brought up to the varsity, is being used at half and his playing this afternoon was spectacular, especially his smashing drive through the line. Reagor is showing great speed and shifty broken field running. Charlie Bartlett has been one of the most dependable ground gathers this sea- son, and he drives through the line in fashion that reminds one of Stephenson.
 Thanksgiving day will see large numbers of Alabama students In Bir- mingham. The interest over the game is intense and the holiday will make 1t possible for everybody to go.
