SPRING HILLTO
 MEET MARION IN
 BIG GAME TODAY
Two Rivals Ready for Battle at Mobile This
 Afternoon

Mobile. October 27.-tSpeclal.)-- Spring Hill college and Marion insti- tute. ancient rivals, will meet this afternoon at Monroe park and battle for gridiron honors. Marion was the first team that Spring Hill ever played, when, in 1907, the local in stitution entered intercollegiate sports. Since then. with the excep- ton of three years. the two schools have played every season, and it has always been a question of nip and tuck between them.
 So far the Cadets have the edge on the collegians for victories by six to four. but the latter have been mak- ing such rapid strides In the last three years that they seem to nave margin on the Marionites. tying once and winning twice within that time.
 It is plain to see that such an an cient rivalry, like that between Har- ward and Yale, is bound to bring forth the best efforts of the two out fits. No matter what other games they win or lose. they must win this one. This year the Hillians have it on their opponents for past perform ances and also in weight, slighsly. but the Cadets have speed and great ability to play the open game.

By HORACE RENEGAN

The Partners of Birmingham Southern have but one thought in mind, and that one thought is to stop the celebrated Goat" Hale of Missis- sippi colleges highly polished eleven. Tho Partners are working under the belief that Goat" Hale is Mississip- pfs offense and that by stopping him she should cop the battle.
 Promptly at 2;so Saturday after noon the game will start and the Choctaws and Panthers i'll both en- ter the fray with spirit keyed to a high pitch. Coach Charlie Brown and Jenks Gillem are working the men hard now in an effort to reverse the dope If the dope really points to a Choctaw victory.
 From over the line of Mississippi comes talk galore; talk of how the Choctaws have the greatest combina- ton of their history; how they are going to easily slide to victory and from the jungle lair of the Panthers comes an entirely different story. At the daily pep meetings now being held the Birmingham Southern grid ders reassure their followers that they will stop Misslssippi's goat and hold them for a loss.
 Hard Game Promised
 At least every evidence points to a hard earned victory for the win ming eleven. Both teams will enter with the do or die spirit, and all foot ball fans well know whas that always means.
 The Panther prospects, are just a

It Is said from the Macon re- ports that the little backfield midget "Greek" Griffin. was the greatest amount of trouble Mercer had in stop ping last Friday. and that he ap- peared almost unstoppable at times.
 A large crowd Is expected to pack Redwood Saturday in what Is the crowning athletic event to semi-cen- tenniai week. All who wead their way to the scene of the conflict will realize that the Partners are going to scrap, and scrap hard.

RACE TRACK STARS
 TO PERFORM HERE ON ARMISTICE DAY
All Race Stars of Prominence Are Fearing Upper Lip
 Adornments in Race

The field of starters in the Armis- tice auto races at the State Fair grounds on November II and 12 promises to be one of smooth -shaven gentry If the track superstition of "moustaches bring bad luck" holds forth at the Magic City.
 It is claimed that no clientele of sport servers are more subject to belief in hoaxes than the race stars, and the 1927 version of mystic signs has declared against the moustache.
 The instance Is sighted of Ray Rountree, the Canadian pilot, who has been seen on the local oval Roun- tree; after driving a season devoid of accidents, started to nurse her suage on his upper lip upon reaching southern sections from northern in vasion this year.
 At Laurel, Miss, last week Roun- tree careened through the fence, battered up his husky frame and all but demolished his Green-Dayton race car. Jimmie Gray at Meridian, with a brown bud on his lip, had no luck with his Severin racer.
 Local Boy Cured
 Ray Snowden, local speed prodigy and the first native Birmingham son to be an l. M. c. A. driver, clings to his upper lip appendage, but Ray at tests that his Rays racer didn't per form as 1t should this season, and If he enters the local contests promises to grace barber's chair before starting around the terra firma course.
 Ernie Fosnaugh, be-moustached pilot, who won honors as pilot of the Premocar this spring, was forced into retirement because of an acci- dent in North Dakota. Fosnaush lays the blame on his lip locks.
 Lou Scheibell, midwest star, who piloted a speed producing Premier in bis league dirt track circles, was forced to quit tho game in mid-sea- son because of i'll health. The Iowa Beau Brummel was featuring & nous tachlo that would rival the adorn- ments that Doug Fairbanks raised for the Three Musketeers."

Cause Is Unknown
 The real cause for this match is unknown. In fact. it may never be determined. although many are busy on scientific re- search trying to determine the reason for the struggle. It was booked as a part of the semi centennial sport celebration.
 Thursday morning the sky seep- age was of such volume that laughed. It pleased me. The game would be, and Messrs. Stem mehl and Newman would be, saved the embarrassment of go- ing down in defeat. As the skies began to clear, however, the van quished heroes were insistent that the game be played, so there was nothing for Chass and I to do but administer the lick ing.
 I fought at catch grips with my driver, brassie and midiron. and while Messrs. Hall, Steinmehl and Andrews laughed in their sleeves. so that could see them, all the time I realized they were doing it in a fit of Jealousy, being afraid that I might turn pro and roll them for their jobs.
 Three Pros on Course
 It was probably the only time the three golf pros of Wood ward Country club and Roebuck had ever assembled on the same course at one time before. Bob Andrews. pro at Roebuck. was originally scheduled to team with Zipp in the match. However. he contracted an abscessed right hand, and it has been giving himl fits for the past week. Bob, had the lunch-hook cut into by sur geon, and while the swelling has gone down considerably he's wearing his arm in a sling, and announces that it will be many weeks before he will attempt 10 play again.
 also learned through the strenuous pastime Thursday that Steinmehl. now. pro at Wood ward, is former pupil of Halls. Charlie began teaching Rollo the art of playing golf 10 years ago,
  mingham. Rollo gave up the pastime for several years and had to brush up considerably when he took over the Woodward course. He's getting back on his game in grand style now. however.
