the favorite to win over the Tusca- loosa boy, but there will be more than one big factor in the fight. and when one sizes up what each fighter has 1t looks mighty close.
 Burke has the experience on his side, but White has the better wal lop, so the outcome of the battle will depend purely upon how well each man takes advantage of the breaks. Regardless of the outcome it Is a cer- tainty that when the big freckled- faced Irishman goes through the ropes with Joe White 1t is going to mean<the beginning of a worth while scrap.
 Avcrn vs. BieLque
 The go between Lardy Avera and Sailor BlanQue Is going to be hum nfer, also, as these two boys have never rubbed mits before and, both of them being very ambitious. one is very anxious to demonstrate to the other that he is some fighter. Both men weigh the same and have approx imately the same reach. Avera Is probably the trickiest of the tow men and is little faster than his oppo- nent However, Blanque has worlds of speed and science and with his su- perior wallop he is liable to come out thl victor.
 Boorde Meets Young
 Freddie Boorde. the ex-local boy. is going to meet Kid Young of Cincin- natl in a 10-round argument. Little is known of Young except that he is a clever, shifty battler, with a nice assortment of punches that have a lot of kick in them. It is almost needless to say what Freddie has, as all the fans know him. They know that whenever he gets in the ring there Is real fight If there IS a good man to fight Boorde. and Young must have little something. Most fans are counting on Freddie to win the bout, but he will have some tough sailing and is going to have to step fast to earn victory.

 Two stars Out
 It now appears that neither Dave Ceilings, Red and Blacks best punter, nor Big John" Fletcher. line plunger la excellent, will be able to play Saturday. Ceilings charley horse shows little improvement. and Fhtch- CTS ankle is beyond immediate repair alton.
 For the places of these two back field stars Coach DeHart Is grooming Smack" Thompson and Goat" Tan ner. Thompson won hls spurs in the Oglethorpe game, when he tore off yard after yard through the line Tan her, while not running with the ball on many occasions, is the best inter ferer on Canford field. It Is believed that his weakness of fumbling will be entirely offset by his ability to get 'em out of the runners way.
 Anthony still Injured
 Mark" Anthony, the huge guard, is still unable to straighten out his arm. It Is probable that this Injury will be removed by Saturday. Mark says 1t will.
 Fuss" whelchei is svady to go, as is Bum" Day and "Artie" Pew. The latter had rather play against Auburn than anyone else in the football world Since he was removed from the affair with the Tigers last fall his performance when unloosed against them once more will be watched with gest.

will go in any try to see which one of them deserves the monicker most. This scrap will be a match of science against terrible wallop. Kelly Is one of the south's cleverest fl lighters, and he has Budd beat In this depart ment by good distance. and if he should beat Budd he will probably win over the decision route. On the other hand. Budd is a fighter with terrible wallop and a great ambi- tion to See 1t safely landed on ais opponents jaw for a knockout. He has enough of the clever stuff in his head all right to know how to win the decisions, but he throws this to the winds and goes after knockouts. Kelly and Budd are rated right along with Avera and Blanque, two of the best welters in the south. and their fight will be worth seeing if they run true to form.
 Allen Versus Logan
 The last scrap will be between Dixie Allen, the local boy. and Shifty Logan, who houses all of his shifts and dances in Memphis. Both Allen and Logan are fast boys with a lot of skill, but Logan is generally con coded to be somewhat more skillful with his mitts, and one look at him will convince anyone that he can out dance Allen.
 Allen is clever enough, and he packs a punch that, if ever once landed in the right place on the Mem- phis boys jaw. will sound taps for one Shifty Logan. Dixie knocked Kelly out with this haymaker of his and if MT. Logan doesn't do some su per shifting this afternoon he IS lia- ble to spit out few teeth before sunset.
 Every fight on the card is a regu- lar headliner and this card is about one of the biggest pulled in the south for the last 15 years, so the fan that buys a pasteboard will see real set of fights.

CRIMSONS ON WAY
 CRESCENT CITY
 TO BATTLE TIGERS
Tom Newton, Former Central
 High FuIIback, Now in BackfieId
By JACK FREEMAN

University. October 27.--tSpecial.) Alabama Is off for Louislana's scalp. The last Tiger they met handled them pretty roughly, but they have set out to make amends by drinking the l.. s. U. Tigers blood.
 Tho coaches have been hard at work with tho team this week try result from inexperience that lost the Sewaneo game. Scott has been using every method possible to cure the men of their habit of fumbling. He has also pulled off some brand new plays that would keep any op- ponent guessing, and mas been drill ing them with the new plays he in- stituted just before the Sewanes game and tho team seems to be working more smoothly than before.
 Newton at Half
 As the scrubs were busy defeat ing Cullman, the Tuscaloosa High boys came out and gave the team little scrimmaging Wednesday after noon. Some important shifts were made in the lineup on Wednesday,. Albert Clemens went back to end and Tom Newton took up his position at half. Ben Hunt was shifted to guard and Wesley took his place at center.
 Claude Shotts will probably start the l.. s. U. game at center. Shotts has been going good this season and is developing into a powerful cen ter and accurate passer. Shorty Cooper played wonderful game Sat urday and will be one of the strong holds 6n the line next Saturday. Burkhart and Country" Oliver are running a neck and neck race for the end opposite Captain Clemens. and each has demonstrated his abil- ity to fill the place. A first year man who Is developing into one of the Pagett. Besides being a quick and heavy guard he is a good kickoff man.
 Backfield Linc-Up
 The backfield in the Louisiana game will probably be the same that started in the 6ewanee game, with Newton in the place of Clemens. Newtop~is an old backfield man. but has not been in a big game in that department and will get a good chanc, to prove his worth Saturday. Baty and Rosenfeld, two of the back field stars of previous games, are in good condition to meet the Tigers.
 The Crimsons left for New Orleans Thursday afternoon with asgood send-off from the student body. A big pep meeting was held Wednes- day night. The auditorium was crowded with shouting. cheering boys and girls urged on by the en- thusiastic cheer leaders and the fine university band. Speeches were made by several students and two town men.

Vote Yes Twice.

Rock Island county voters should not for
get the two special tax propositions that are
to be submitted for their consideration at the
judicial election June 6. One Is for the pur-
pose OF raising funds to build permanent
county roads and the other to obtain money
with which to complete the county Jail. The
adoption Of both proposals would entail an
assessment Of the average taxpayer Of such
. small sum that he would barely notice it
When the great benefits are taken into con-
sideration it is uncomfortable that any citizen
having the interests Of his home county al
heart would cast negative ballot. For in
stance, the present county Jail is in such de-
plorable condition that 1t is unfit for human
habitation. As to our roads, it is to our shame
that they are known among cross-country
autoists as the worst in the country.

No Trust in Germany.

One of the penalties that Germany must
undergo for her crime against the world Is the
general distrust of her Even though she has
promised to pay the reparation asked by the
allies. they will not believe that she will do SO
until she actually makes payment. One OF the
London newspapers says that if she discharges
her obligations under the terms of settlement,
it will be the first time since the war began
that she has done So Deeds are now re-
CURED" says another A third says: I'VE shall
have to see to it that Germany performs what
she has undertaken" Declares another: 1T
is eminently satisfactory as far as it goes"
1t is, indeed. great penalty to be so re
garded by the world. But Germany's crooked
diplomatic and military courses have left the
nations no other course than to refuse to be-
lieve her until her word is made true by deed.
As with the individual, SO with nation. The
man that constantly tells falsehoods finally
comes to point at which he is not believed
even when he tells the truth. The nation
whose diplomacy is one OF intrigue and false
hood and whose military tactics are those OF
the cowardly bully finds herself without credit
il. her relations with other nations Germany
must, il she wishes to stand on an equality
with the civilized world, build up for herself
D reputation for honesty.

Good American Doctrine.

Postmaster General Hays is making good
his pledge not to use his department as press
censorship bureau.
In extending the second-class mailing priv
ileges to the Liberator so-called Socialist
publication, which was denied the privilege by
Burleson, Hays makes it perfectly clear that
the Burleson abuses are at an end
The following significant statement accom-
panies the Liberator order:
"The war is over. We must return to the
ordered freedom. Our method of safeguard
ing the public welfare, while at the same time
maintaining freedom of the press, has been
found through a long period of stable civil
liberty better for the public welfare and per-
sonal security Of citizens than to establish a
bureaucratic censorship which in its natuI.
becomes matter Of individual opinion, pre-
judice or caprice.
There is certain cost in free institutions

Why should it?
Is there anything that savors Of political

Is there any valid reason why man should
be elected to the bench because of his poll

before the court?
Is it of concern to you what may be the
politics OF the Judge before whom you may be
called upon to appeal to law? Do you ever
consider the politics Of the Judge on the bench
il you are interested in any form of litigation?
Do you care any more for the partisan
leanings Of the judge on the bench than you
do for political convictions of the preacher in
the pulpit, or the superintendent of schools or
the physician in your home?
Are you not pleased that it is SO?
