Mississippi Aggies Are In
Fine Shape for Game Today
Coach Holtcamp Bringing Two Full Teams to Birming-
ham to Battle Alabama Crimsons in Annual Turkey
Day Battle This Afternoon at Redwood

gone through their daily workouts.
Coach Holtkamp has been driving
them along at a fast pace, as he is
anxious to retrieve last years de-
feat. He and Coach Scott of Ala
bama are fellow townsmen, both re-
siding in Cleveland, O., during the
off season. Last year Scotts eleven
with such stars as Stevenson. Lenoir.
Sessions. O'Connor and Clemens were
too strong for the Maroons, but with
the two teams more evenly matched
in weight and experience this season
Coach Holtkamp is putting in his
best ticks to even up matters with
Scott and his Crimson eleven.
Notwithstanding the defeats that
Alabama has sustained this season,
both the team and the coaches real
ize that Scott had a fighting eleven
that has been improving all season,
and one that has given every oppo-
nent real battle. A. and NJ. has
come to look on the Alabama game
as one of the most important on her
schedule, because of the close ath-
letic relations between the two
schools and the friendly rivalry that
exists in all sports. There is an in
tense desire to win from the Crimson
and White this time, to wipe off the
defeats of the last two years. Re
CARELESS of the outcome, however. the
game is certain TO be productive Of
some real thrills.
Close Game Expected.
Last year the A. and NJ. Alabama
game was conceded to be, from the
spectators standpoint, the most In
teresting game played at lockwood
park during the season. with the
two squads more evenly matched this
season, Thursdays battle should be
very close, and there should be some
good football in evidence. The Ma
room coaches feel certain that Coach
Scott has held back some of his spe-
cially tricky formations just for use
In this game Alabama did not at
tempt anything against Georgia ex-
cept straight football, and reports
Indicate that Scott took out Captain
Clemens and several other of his best
men to save them up for the Thanks
giving Day battle, when he saw there
was no chance of winning from the
Georgians.
Hns Good Team.
Despite injuries which have robbed
him of the services of Askew, a
veteran lineman; Clark, one of the
best OF the Maroon backs; and Catch
ell. a first-class center, Coach Holt
kamp expects to send as good team
on the field as has worn the Maroon
and White this season, and one that
has been tempered and benefited by
the experience of the games they
have played this season. TIL TT de-
feats at the hands of Tennessee, Tu-
lane and Texas all came at the hands
of very strong elevens. Both the
Tulane and Tennessee defeats were
due to inexperlence and some defects
in generalship. Previous defeats.
however, have only served to inten-
silly the determination of the team to
win from Alabama and Louisiana
State University in the two remaining
games of the season. Under such
conditions Thursdays battle at Rick
wood park should be one of the most
interesting games of an extremely
interesting football season.

Mississippi A. and Ms Maroon
Aggies wound up their preparations
for their annual Thanksgiving Day
battle with the University of Ala
bama with a final rehearsal of the
plays that they expect to use against
the Crimson tide, and were in readi-
moss to board the train Wednesday
morning for Birmingham. The squad
took the trip over the Mobile and
Ohio and the Southern railway, stop
ping off for a few hours in the aft
ernoon at Tuscaloosa, where they
were given permission to go out and
see the A. and NJ. Reserves tie up
with the Alabama Reserves for the
second time this season. These same
teams played red-hot game on the
A. and M campus on Armistice Day,
A. and NJ. coming out victorious by
a Ia to score.
The A. and M Scrubs possess quite
a formidable aggregation, and have
been victorious in both games they
have played this season. Besides
their victory over the Alabama Re-
serves, they also took the Mississippi
College Scrubs into camp last Sat
urday by &c to score. and they
have issued a challenge to the Au-
burn Scrubs to meet them Saturday
after Thanksgiving. They have been
somewhat weakened by the taking
over of Hubbard, tackle, and Cam
eron, halfback. on the varsity squad
but Coach Mobiles is hopeful'of a sec
ond victory over the Alabama Fresh
men. Arrangements have been made
FOR the Reserves to go on up to Bir-
mingham and see the A. and NJ
Alabama varsity game.
Brings Two Full Teams.
Coach Holtkamp is taking two full
teams to Birmingham, as he is de-
termined to be prepared for any con-
tingency that may arise. Injuries
to Clark, Perkins, Bell and Low, in
the Texas game have kept them out
of everything but light work during
the past week. Clark is definitely out
of the game, with a shoulder injury,
while the other three men are ex-
pected to be in fair shape and able to
play II needed. Coach Holtkamp,
however, is always averse to using
any player who is suffering from
injuries. He has taken over Hub
bard. a tackle, and Cameron and
Lumpkin, backs, who have been
showing up well on the Reserves.
and has been using them regularly
In the varsity lineup during the past
week. Hubbard is a hard hitting
lineman who tackles viciously. and

best defensive backs on the squad,

the ball and running interference.

who promises to be wonder next
year.
Maroons Recupernte.
The Maroons have had 10 days In
which to recuperate from the siren
uous schedule which they encoun-
tered prior to their last game. and
that they were benefited by the short
lay-off which was given the squad
for the first two days of last week

and had rather talk this kind of
vehicle than eat. No wonder.
He looks like colt, despite the
fact he's been citizen of this
globe more years than he cares
to remember. and he attributes
his youthful look and his spright-
ly stride to the fact that every
day of his life finds him taking a
spin on the bike. Fred called
around to have a chat with the
s. e. yesterday, and he looks
just as young and as full of en-
ergy as he did 10 years ago.
Howard To Get 30
Dame Rumor has it that Bo
McMillin has already made up his
mind to trek Birminghamward at
the start of the next football sea-
son. or course, nothing official
has been given out as yet, but
Wednesday I talked with a fell
low who gets pretty close to the
inside of football matters annual
ly. He told me that he had 1t
straight that the celebrated 30
had already made up his mind
to coach at Howard, and all that
was left for him to do now was
to give the pen an ink bath
and sign on the dotted line. This
of course is mere formality, if
Bo has already reached a de-
cision. Looks like a dead GER
tainty almost that the famous
Centre star will be directing ath-
letics at Howard with the start
of another season.
The rumor gained further head
way and strength Wednesday,
when 1t was announced through
the press dispatches that Uncle
Charlie Moran had signed for
another year to coach at Centre.
Three has been strong indica-
ton that Moran would leave the
school for other fields. If this had
come about Bo would have been
rendered the position. With
Moran signed for another year,
it leaves 30 free to accept the
Howard terms.

Both teams have strong outfits
this year, and the game should be a
match of speed and cunning all of
the way through, as both Meyers and
Hovater believe in playing with
brains more than with Drawn. The
Central team is not as heavy as some
teams of the past, but at that 1t is
heavy enough. and with the unusual
amount OF speed that the Meyers
eleven have they should be able to
make up for their lack of weight of
past years. Tom Anderson and Jack
Lillian are the two men the Jackets
must stop If they hope to win todays
game. Anderson is one of the fast
est men that ever played with the
Crimson outfit.
Lillian Hard Hitter
Lillian Is the Crimson fullback, and
is one of the hardest hitting line
plungers that has ever cavorted with
the Central eleven. He is expected
to give the Jacket line some hard
knocks before many minutes of the
game have elapsed. Aside from be-
ing a good line plunger, Lillian is

Hoster and Levy are two backs
about whom little has been said this
year. These two will not play the
game that Anderson and Lillian can
play, but nevertheless they are de-
pendable men in carrying the ball
and are especially useful in clearing
the ways when others have the oval
in charge.
Crimson Linesmen
Bowden, Rox and Mcneil are the
three linesmen that the Ensley backs
are going to have trouble with. The
whole line has played we'll this year.
but these three men have been bet
ter in every way than the others
guarding forward positions. While
the Centralites have a good team
with more than the usual number of
stars in the lineup, they are not
going to have any easy time with the
Jackets, as the Ensley eleven has
proven itself capable of playing a
great game of football all of the year.
Ensley has lost but one game this
year and this one was a close game
which was lost to the Bessemer
Tigers.
