McMln to Investigate Athletic Prospects at Howard College and to Confer With Committee From
 Local School Today

"Bo" McMillan, Centre college football star of all-American fame. is in town. and today will be in conference with a commit tee of Howard college alumni and athletic authorities. This an- nouncement was made by W. A. Berry yesterday
 McMillan was recently offered a very attractive contract to join Howard colleges coaching staff, and the invincible "Bo" wired back that he was on his way to talk matters over. He Is in town now, and today has been set as the time for the all-important conference with the Howard col lege committee.
 Developments Predicted
 In an article published in The Age Herald a short time ago, 1t was stated that an official offer had been made McMillan, and that the Centre college star would probably come to Birmingham to talk business. Developments have happened exactly as predicted, and McMillan Is now ready to talk things over.

Chicago November 21-Aubrey De- vine, the little all-Western quarter back and captain of the University of Iowa football eleven Western Conference champions, led all the big ten stars in scoring during the last season. Devine tallied 6S of the l23 points his team made in Champion ship contests, record which has not been equalled In the conference in recent years.
 Devine's record represents nine touchdowns ard IA goals from touch downs. He led the conference in each of these branches of scoring, as well as in the total points, Counting pre- liminary games. his total would b, much larger.
 Ranking next to Devine was Elliott, Wisconsin halfback, who scorer seven touchdowns for AZ points in championship contests. while Locke of Iowa was third. and Bedding of Iowa tied for fourth place, giving the Hawkeyes three of the first four leading scorers of the season.

They were three games Satur- day which wound up nothing nothing, and modesty keeps me from saying I knew just exactly what would happen. There was so much zero-w eather over the country Saturday that I knew at least three games would wind up zero-zero. As the tilts between Wittenberg and Ohio Wesleyan, Hiram and Otterbein and Buff falo and Rensselaer,, was the most important in the entire country. and as they had more specific bearing on the cham pionship. l picked them to wind up co. History bears me out in boasting how well l succeeded.
 Out of all these important struggles only once more did I fall down on the job. That was the scrap between Niagara and St. Ignatius. I said the Igna- tiums would win and the Niagra bunch crossed me up and triumphed l3-6. You have oft en seen in the headlines that Niagra Falls, and it has got to be a by-word. And, so when I heard of the game. thought to myself: "Niagra falls" and played the hunch accordingly with direful results.
 Amt that a array of prog nostications for you? And, if my good work keeps up people will soon come to realize that I can pick something else besides a uk eIe--1tke football scores f'rinstants.

 "Berry Field"
 W. A. Berry through whose generosity the new field was made possible. has for several years been prominent in athletic circles of Howard college. As an alumnus of the local school, he has taken an active interest in affairs at Howard, and has watched with pride the growing prosperity of the East Lake in- stitution, both from an athletic and scholastic standpoint.
 1t Is probable that the new Howard college field, now name less, will be named Berry field" Already Berry field" has been spoken of, and without a doubt this will be the name of the new field at Howard college.
 Howard college is going in strong for athletics from now on, and the construction of a new athletic field will be one of the first steps taken In the rejuvena- tion of athletics at the local school.

AUBREY DEVINE LEADS PANTHER SCRUBS WILL
 WESTERN SCORERS PLAY FAYETTE HIGH

The Birmingham Southern scrubs will tackle Coach Mullie Lenoir's fast Fayette County High school team Thursday -th Fayette. The scrubs are going to Fayette IS strong confident of winning over the Fay ette eleven, although they are expect ing stiff opposition.
 The Fayette team has been rolling up large scores all the season against their high school opponents and have been unable to schedule games that were even interesting, so it appears from the showing made by them that the proteges of Coach Bob Rowe are in for a hard struggle.
 Practice will be held today in prep. aration for the tilt and the team is all in good condition.

soapy chute, and she done it. In one place l did fall down terribly, though, l would not be a man If l didn't admit 1t. All Saturday morning my telephone was busy With anxious fans wanting to Know how I had doped the Ohio Northern-St. Xavier game. They was thousands of dollars lost on that tilt right here in Jones val ley, and all due probably to the fact that I threw some bull and give the boys a bum steer. Here's how l figured 1t: Any college With a name like St. Xavier can't be a pronounced success. The Saints played like the devil, and win the contest by 13-0 score.
 The VaudevilIain StiII Pursued
 The whole world was agoE over the Beloit- Ripon game, so much agog, in fact, till 1t got right goggle-eyed. It will be remem- bered that I said emphatically that Beloit would win, and Be- lott came through with 16-9 victory. Now that it's all over, I must admit that I had some in- side dope on the Ripon team, which was not gave out to the press. was told before the game that the Ripon team had to D. and o. What I mean by that is, that they had to double in band and orchestra as they say in the under-canvas realm. They had some perfectly good end men what had made hit in the col lege minstrels, but they didn't have no ends what had made a hit on the football field. They was forced to use their minstrel end men in the line, and you know minstrel ends ain't nothing but bunch of jokes, and 1t was easy to see they downfall.
 If you will look back over the files you will see where I doped Williams to pile up score on Weslyan. and no sooner had the ink got dry than Williams came along and beat they adversary 70 to 0.

 The hard, rough top section of red clay and rock will be eXca- vated, and in it's place a layer of good soil will be placed. The field will be levelled, and sodded with Bermuda grass. The sur roundings will be overhauled with the field, and enough ground will be available for either a football or baseball field.

Hit Nnil on Head
 Then, there was the game be- tween Delaware and P. M. C., which Delaware won, making six points, while P. M. c. was shoot ing blanks. Quoting my. exact words, Delaware will win by a so score. The Delaware puncn is there. but 1t ain't got no kick" Many failed to interpret what I meant by that epigramatical gem, and now that 1t Is all over. and the many Delaware boys in Bir- mingham what would of got sore if l had of been more explicit and spoiled their bets, ain't got chance to get peeved now. I will explain. l meant the Delaware punch would put the ball over the goal line, but that 1t didn't have kick enough to add the extra point. Therefore I foreoasted a score of so, eliminating the kicked goal. Of course 1t all looks very simple now, and you will no doubt say why didn't I think of that myself. Still. that's that they said about MT. Mergan- tHdleI' alleT ne naQ received standing order to do the nations type-sitting. It's all as simple as frying a egg. or parsing a verb on both sides, if you just know how.
 Another thing about that Dela- ware-P. M. c. game. Although it is not generally known, P. M. c. stands for Post Masters College. Here's where my nimble brain and eagle eye come in handy again. Post Masters is very good at carrying the mail, but very poor at carrying the ball. Therefore I figured the P. M. C.'s wouldn't cover much more ground than a china berry tree.
 Picked Other Results, Too
 Any profit would of stopped there. but I've played almost so many lunches that I'm getting right hunch- backed, so I went fearlessly down the list of all the most important games and predictated to my stenno. There was the Colgate Brown game. I said that Colgate would hit the

 The battle of the century was staged between Hamilton and Union, and said before the. game that Hamilton would win by one touchdown. Weight would tell, and l knew 1t. Too much Hamiltonnage for the Union boys. Another thing. it gets aw- ful cold up there in Hamilton, and knowing that the Union boys didn't have nothing to play in but their Union suits, I figured they wouldn't get het up until the last quarter until Hamilton had put the old game on ice, you might say.

Coach Wice Says
 Pass Was Legitimate

Columbus, O., November 21.-After seeing moving pictures of Satur- days football victory of Illinois over Ohio State, Coach J. w. Wilce of Ohio State announced at noon today that in his opinion the disputed for ward pass which resulted in the lone Illinois touchdown was perfectly le- gitimate.
 Kearns also declared that the ball did not bounce off Walkuists hands before he grabbed it. but hit the hands of Sabo, Illinois end, and bounded against the onrushing Myers of Ohio State. Walquist scooped the ball off Myers legs as the Ohio end was falling to the ground, Kearns de- clared. Picking the ball off the nearly prostrate Ohio player was held responsible for the illusion that the ball was picked off the ground. he said.
 Both Colonel Mumma, the umpire, and Kearns agreed that the disputed pass was complete, the latter said, and both reported their decision to Referee Magidsohn before the ref cree ruled a touchdown.
 The fact that Walquist grabbed the ball was legitimate. Kearns said, because of the rule which made every Ohio player one side as soon as Myers touched the ball and left every man on the field eligible to receive 1t.
