CHOCTAWSEXPECTI MUCH OPPOSITION
 IN PANTHER TILT
Mississippi College Has Lost Only One Game This
 Season
By LucIAN CONAN

Clinton, October .)- Coach Robinson Is busy getting his choctaw warriors ready for the tilt with the Partners of Birmingham Southern, to take place in Birming- ham on Saturday. The Indians will leave Clinton Friday for the Aiaba- ma city. This Is the first grid team from the neighboring state of Ala bama that Mississippi college will play this season.
 The Partners have split even with their games so far this season. They lost their first tilt to the Mississippi Aggies by a score of 2o-7. which showed that they must have strong team, for few teams hold the Aggies to such close scores. The next two games were victories for the Bir- mingham boys over S. P. U. and the cadets of Marion institute by good margins, Last Saturday. however, they suffered a reversal of form and bowed to the boys from Mercer by the score of 200 in good game. This, however, Is not bad record, and goes to show that the Choctaws may well expect hard tussle for the honors.
 Indians Lose Only once
 The Indians have met defeat but once, and that was at the hands of the Mississippi Aggies, score 1914. The Ciintonites have victories to their credit over Tulane, Louisiana col lege and Union university.
 The Baptist boys are determined to continue the season without another defeat being chalked up against them and If they do so, 1t will be the best season on the grldiron Mississippi college has ever had. Theg Braves will have this In mind when they face the Partners Saturday.

Littleton-Gibbons
 Battle for Title

New Orleans, La.. October 26-(Spe- cial. )-The famous Crescent city will be the scene of a genuinely middle weight boxing classic when Mike Gibbons, St. Paul Phantom. and Hap py Litleton, New Orleans, contender. clash in & 15-round bout at the Lou isiana auditorium on october S1. The bout is being staged under the aus pices of Dominick J. Tortorich, dean of southern boxing impressarios. and he has been most lavish in the ad- vance expenditures to insure the box ing public of one of the greatest fights staged in the historic old "city of care forgot"
 e17 BOO in Guarantees
 Mike Gibbons, who Is recognised as the premier contender for the mid dleweight title now in dispute between Bryan Downey and Johnny Wilson. Is being guaranteed $1o,00o to meet Littleton and the local man, is said to be drawing down something like 37,500 with a percentage privilege for his efforts. The winner of this match is to be recognized as cham pion unless Wilson defends his title against that man within 50 days thereafter. This plan was recently submitted to boxing commissions throughout tho country by Dominick Tortorich. and practically all have acquiesed in this view.
 Littleton's Record Good
 Littleton has performed most sen sationally during the last year and southern. fans believe he will provo the St Paul boxers master. Lit tleton stopped Battling Ortega and Joe Chip in succession recently-a feat never heretofore accomplished. He defeated Chuck Wiggins in, 15 rounds and recently went to New York and trounced Johnny Howard. He has stopped of his last B op- ponents.
 Boxing fans of the south are gem erally interested in this match. and Promoter Tortorich Is trying to have the railroads allow special rates to those fans who expect to come here from nearby points.

LAWRENCE COUNTY COMES BACK STRONG
 AND WINS, IS TO 13

Moulton, October 26.-fSpeciai.)- The Lawrence County High defeated the Franklin County High at Russell ville this evening by a score of IS to 13. Russellville scored two touch- downs in the first quarter by heavy line plunges.
 The Moulton boys came back strong In the second quarter. also scoring two touchdowns, and a third in the third quarter. Though the Moulton boys were outweighed on an average of 15 pounds, their fast shifts and speedy end runs were too much for the other team. McCollogh at full and Smith at end starred for Moul- ton.
 Coach Stevenson will keep the team working hard in preparation for the hard game with Albany scheduled for Thanksgiving. Leighton will probably play the second team on the local field next Friday.

 ASHLAND PAINTERS LOADED FOR BEAR IN ROANOKE GAME

Ashland, October 2e.-(Speciai.)- Fresh from their victory over the Sylacauga "Aggies" by an over whelming score, the Ashland Panthers invade Roanoke Friday loaded for bear. The boys realize that they will be forced to fight for every inch they gain in the Randolph county town, and scrimmage and hard signal drill are the order of the day.
 Practice has been kind of slack this past week on account of the fair which monopoliaed the time of many players, however the Panthers showed their metal Friday by holding a team of sx-college football players to 90 to score.

CRIMSONS MEET, L.S.U. ELEVEN AT
 W. o. SATURDAY
lnexperience of the Alabama Squad Told in Game With
 SeWanee Saturday

University. October 26.--(Special) The Crimson tide will invade New Orleans Saturday, meeting Louisiana State university in the Crescent City in one of the south's feature battles of the week. l.. s. U., while not doped to defeat Alabama, Is expected to make the going rough for the Grim sons, ana the game should be decided by single touchdown or two.
 The faults uncovered in the game with Sewanee last week are being corrected as much as possible by Coach Ken C. Scott. There are cer tain technical faults that can be cor rected by the Crimson mentor, but there is one big deficiency that not even the bralny little chief can rom edy. and that is the matter of expe- rience. In the game with Sewanee the Crimsons showed lack of exper- rience. This will hurt and has hurt, the team this season, buI next year the Crimsons ought 10 be able to tear 'em up all over the south.
 Line Experienced.
 In the Sewanee game the rush line allowed itself to be sucked In time and time again, while the backfield, with not a single varsity man from last year back, showed lack of expe- rience. The interference was not working like veteran combination makes It, while in critical moments the Crimson backs faltered. Over cagerness was a main fault of the Crimsons.
 There is one department that Coach Scott need have no worry about, md that Is the bunting end of the game. With his line really holding like a stone wall when kick formations were called. Clemens got off some beautiful punts against Sewanee, and was rarely hurried by the Tiger or wards.
 only Comparison
 The only basis for comparison be- tween the Crimsons and l.. & U. IT. gers Is theirs respective showing against Spring Hill. Alabama de- fsated Spring Hill. 27 to 7 while l.. S. U. trounced the Hillians, Al to 77 These comparisons can be taken for what they are worth. but they would .. sainIy give the Tigers at least sn even chance to win.
 The conditions are reversed this year. Last year the veteran Crim- son outfit defeated the inexperienced l.. s. U. Tigers. 2l to O. and that was with Reggie Stephenson in the line- up. This season the Tigers have the edge in the matter of experience, and this should count in the game Satur- day.

Ensley Jackets to Meet Jefferson on
 T.C.I. Field Friday

Jones valley will probably be shaken by terrible conflict Friday afternoon. for that Is the day when Coach "Highpockets" Bryan takes his bunch of Jefferson county gridders to Ensley for a battle with Coach How ater's Ensley Jackets. This should be a real scrap for number of good sound reasons. This year both teams are more evenly matched than they have been for the last few years. Another reason why the fight should bo so fierce Is because Coach High pockets" Is extremely anxious to see his gang go without losing again this year, and to do this they will have to accomplish great feat in beat ing the Jackets.
 Comparing the two teams, 1t might first be stated that they are about the same weight and both of them are extremely fast and light, with neither team havins any edge on the other In speed. As to their style of attack, they are about the same, also. On account of their lacx of weight. both Ensley and Jefferson have been specializing In the pass game and fast plays around the ends. .
 The Game With Bessemcr
 The game with Bessemer last Fri day proves that the Jackets have one of the strongest and fastest back fields in the state this year The whole Ensley backfield Is good, but especially Tinklepaugh and Scokel. Tinklepaugfi will probably do his work at full against the Wildcats, while Scokel will hold down one of the halves. With these two in the backfield the Wildcats are going to 
 Hovater's clan from running the score up.
 On the line, Ensley's most notable men are Dog Fayette. scotchy An derson and "zac" Walker. Anderson Is the pivot man who has been doing such good work for Ensley, and If he plays true to form Friday he should be q snag In front of the Wildcat attack. Fayette is the cap- tain of the team and plays tackle while Zac Walker operates at end and Is proving himself to be one of the best performing wingmen that the Jackets have had in a long time. With the boys that Ensley now has on the team they should give the Jefferson county team a real fight
 It Is admitted that Ensiey has a strong team but looking in the direc- tion of Jefferson County High 1t might easily be seen that Coach Bryan has pretty nifty aggregation under his wing this year. With Franklin and Barton as the main stays of tho line. the Jefferson Coun- ty team boasts of forward defense that Is going to be hard for Ensley to penetrate Friday.
 The Wildcats also have 8 nifty backfield. Clay and Deshazo are the most prominent figures on this part of the team. and If they don't make Ensley work hard 1t will surprise whole lot of football followers at Jefferson County High.
 After the brilliant battle that Ems ley gave Besscmer. the Wildcats are in no danger of going in over-conf- dent and the battle should be nice one, with the odds being somewhat in favor of the Yellow Jackets.

 Georgia Is Favorite i
 If dope Is worth anything at all, Georgia will meet Auburn next Sat. urday with the odds slightly in her favor Two weeks ago the Crackers journeyed to Cambridge and came dangerously near humiliating liar yard by holding her strong eleven to 10 to ' Score, a feat which no other southern eleven has ever per- formed. Whilo her other games hava been little more than practice affairs Georgia has won them in true Geor- gia style.
 Tigers Untried
 On the other hand, the Tigers have mot been severely tried. Before the Clemson game there was much apprs. hension as to the results among tn. Auburn supporters, but less than two minutes Of the gnne had passed into history when 1t became evident tha the previously announced footbai prowess of the Clemson Tigers failed to accompany the team to Aubur, and that, after all, 1t would be little more than practice affair, endinl In a 5e to 0 score.
 Use Substitutes
 The Camp Benning game last Sat urday was very largely played by tht scrubs and again therefore, the var sity outfit was not given a trial ur,. til the last three minutes of play when all went wrong with the Sol diers.
 The Tigers came through the Ben ming game with no serious injuria. and will enter the Georgia contest lr the pink of condition unless an acci cent should occur during practice tnie week. The Bulldogs are expect ca 10 Dc in similar condition. Ho weather Is interfering with the daiI, practice of the Tigers but it is prob. ably doing the same thing for tht Bulldogs and the handicap is. there fore. even.
 Equal Reserve Strength
 The best dope that can be rath4rea indicates that both teams are abou. equal in reserve strength. The Camr Benning game discovered some new material for the line and also for tbs oackfield for Coach Donahue to fl Into the Tiger machine. The worl or Garland in returning punts an, carrying the ball wa- -oxt to spec- tacular and at end Knapp, made wonderful showing that may cause him to sec service in the front-ltn, trenches.

 A special train will leave MontRom- cry at $40 Saturday morning and Auburn at 800 and arrive at CoIum- bus at II o'clock with the Auburn student body and supporters.

 TO A FULL LIST

New York October 26.--Babe Ruth is wearing bandages on both arms now. His latest physical disability is car- buncle on his right hand.

Central Eleuen to Meet Shelby County
 Team Here Saturday

Saturday morning Central High schools football team will take on the strong Coiumbiana team in what the Crimson warriors have engaged in thus far this season. The game Saturday will be played at Howard field at 10 o'clock.
 For the first time this year. the Central team is free from injuries. with the exception of one man. namely, Earl Tingley, who is In the hospital on account of injuries re- ceived in a scrimmagc. Tingley was playing a mighty good game at qua ter. and now that he Is out Meyers next problem Is filling this position.
 Pig Yielding, who has been out for the past month with bad case of pneumonia, has returned and greatly bolsters the Central line up. At the start of the season Yeilding was playing quarter, but when he re- turned to practice he was shifted to end on account of Central being badly in need of an experienced end. Being out of the game for so long d NLhe Cdubeu IlE lO lcBo ms ELrlue, but he is rapidly hitting it again, and it ought not to be very long be- fore he is in there playing star game for the Central boys. With Holder and Newton to choose be- tween for the other end, Gil Meyers should have about the strongest bunch of wingmen in the state.
 The rest of tho Central line is charging better these days. and Is looking more like real barrier than 1t has looked so far this year. The line has played good game in both of the tits in which Central has par ticipated, and has shown improve ment of late. At present McNeil Is occupying his old place at center, and Is likely to stay there. Davis and Bowden are looking good at guards, and Rox and Majors are sure bets at the tackles.
 The present backfield consists of Anderson and Levvy, halves. and Lil- Han full, with the quarterback posi- ton at present belonging to Hoster.
 If reports coming from Coiumbiana and teams that have met this bunch of huslSies are true. Central Is In for a good, hard scrap. as tho Shelby county boys have been touted higher this year than they have been rated in long time.
