the eve OF this battle of the age, Au-

New York, November s.-The
bantamweight boxing title which is
to be defended by Johnny Buff of
Jersey City against Jack Sharey of
New York in a 15-round bout Thurs
day night has charged hands three
times in the last year.
Joe Lynch of New York received
the judges decision over Pete Her
man of New Orleans here last De-
cember, but Herman after series of
victories abroad returned and out
pointed Lynch. regaining the title
which he soon lost to Buff in another
decision contest.
Besides Sharkey prominent asplr-
ants for the crown are Carl Troe-
maine, Cleveland; Joe Burman, Chi
cago; Charles Ledoux, France; Phil
O'Dowd, Columbus. and Lynch and
Herman.
Herman has held the title since de-
feating Kid Williams of Baltimore
in a decision contest in New Orleans
more than four years ago.

Bulldogs Looking
for a Hard Battle
From Spring Hill

With the Spring Hill fracas just
two days away, the Howard eleven is
working at top speed to get in shape
for what they are expecting to he
one of the hardest battles of the year.
The Hillians have one of the strong
est teams in the history of the school
this year, and they have run away
with every team of their own class
SO far, and are expected to cop the
victory over the Bulldogs.
Howard is expecting a hard game
all right and every man on the team
fully realizes the speed that it will
take to beat the Hillians, but hover
theless the Bulldogs have been work
ing hard and are hoping to be 81 the
large end of the score when the game
is over. The shifting of Toby Stubs
to guard seems to have strenS III
ened the Howardites, as Stubs has
played a star game in both Of the
battles that he has been in at guard.
Stubs will probably alternate at end
some of the time.
Pat" Shores will be regular end
since Stubs has been shifted TO
guard. and, now that he is installed
in a varsity position, he is going like
a house afire. Besides being a cure
tackler and a deadly pass snagger,
Shores is also a good man when II
comes to booting the ball, and How
ard will have reliable man to fall
back on in case of injury to some of
the other punters.
The Bulldogs will probably be mi
nus the services of Garrett at tackle
against Spring Hill. as he is out with
bad knee, which he got in the Flor
ida game. The absence of the husky
from the Howard lineup will weaken
the line to a great extent. as he is
one of the most dependable men on
the team.

MANY STARS ARE
ON INJURED LIST
AT CENTRAL HIGH
Anderson, Levy, BoWden
and Newton viii Be Out of
BeSSemer Game

With the Bessemer game just three
days away, things are getting gloom
Ter around Central High school every
minute, as it looks like hard luck is
going to persist in following one of
the best teams that has ever been
put at Central High. Central has
lost one game due to the absence OF
a star from the lineup. and this time
it looks like four instead of one star
will be out.
Aside from Anderson, who was out
of the game Saturday with badly
twisted ankle, Levy. Newton and
Bowden will also be out. Tom An
dersons ankle Is improving very
slowly, and he will probably have to
watch the Tiger game from the side
lines. He and Lillian have been the
mainstays of the Crimson backfield
this year, and Toms absence will
make it hard on the Centralites.
Levy Ont Also
Potts" Levy. who has been play
ing a good game at half, will be out,
as he too has a twisted ankle. This
weakens the Central backfield still
more, as Levvy's work has helped
On the line, Newton and Bowden
the Crimsons in every game.
On the Line
will be unable to play In the tilt with
the Tigers. Newton has a bad knee
and will be missed a whole lot at
end when the Tiger backs start their
march toward Centrals goal Satur-
day. Bowden also has a bum knee,
and his loss from the line will be
keenly felt as much as anyone of the
men that Central has lost. The long
boy has been playing at guard and
tackle this season. and in every game
he has not only done good work on
the offensive, but he has also been a
rugged barrier in the path OF oppos-
ing backs.
Some time ago Central met the
strong Cherokee county eleven and
completely routed them. winning the
game by a one&ided score of 10 to O..
Central Has Hard Luck
After this battle 1t was thought
that Central had the best prep team
in the state, and 1t did look tnat way
as they not only showed powerful
and driving offensive, but they also
showed a good defensive. OF the men
who played in this game, only five
are slated to start the Tiger battle.
These men are Holder. Rox, Mcneil
Nabers, and Lillian all of whom are
stars at their positions.
Robertson will probably be sent in
to fill the gap left at Bowden's place.
He is light for guard but he is fast,
has lots of drive and is a sure tackler
so he should be able to put up a good
game Saturday. A. C. Young and
Galbough will occupy the halves left
vacant by Anderson and Levy.
The probable lineup for Saturday
will be, Yielding and Holder, ends;
Rox and Nabers. tackles; Robertson
and Smith, guards; Mcneil, center;
Holster, quarter; Young and GAL
bough, halves; Lillian, fullback.

sustained in last Saturdays game,
and Mobeis is out with bad hand
received on the same day. One OF
these men Is sure to start at the pivot
position against the Cats. but the
thing that is worrying Coach Ho-
water most is whether either man
will be able to play the game out
or not.
Team In Fine Shape
In the back field every man has
been playing great game, and it is
hard to say which has been of tho
most value to the Ensley outfit, as
all of them have been doing so good
Manly. Scokel. Tinklepaugh and
Hassler are the ones who will prob
ably get the CALL in the Wildcat fra
cas- Saturday.
Mott, a sub half, is expected to get
in the game before many quarters
have passed, and every one that has
seen him In action Is expecting great
things of him. He weighs about las
pounds. and is one of the fastest men
that ever tried out for the Ensley
eleven. From the present conditions
IT seems as though Ensley will have
all of the back field power that they
could possibly need against the JEFF
fersonians.

them to victory.
With the exception of Rusty Ar

jured In the game with Huntsville
last week, the team is in splendid
trim.
Owing to the fact that only one
game will be played with Albany this
season. Coach Nathan is very anxious
to administer a dose of defeat to
these ancient rivals.
Thus far. Sheffield has won all
except two games. one of which was
a tie and the. other Huntsville won

Fridays game is going to be hard
one for the Crimsons, but Alabama
is expecting to make amends for the
two games she lost TO the Tennessee
squads.
Two of the best men were not able
to be in their toys this afternoon.
They are Wesley and Blackwood.
Wesley was out on the field walking
around with stiff leg. but it is
hoped that he will lie back in form
in few days. but Blackwoods in
juries seem to be more serious.
Baty, who played great game
Saturday in spite of his hurts re-
ceived the week before. started out
in the scrimmaging but was not able
to stay in very long. With the ex-
ception of ether minor hurts the rest
of the team is in fairly good shape.
Most of the time this afternoon
was taken up in offensive work, with
a good deal of passing.
