Rivers There, Too
 Rivers. end for the Talladegans, came to Birmingham highly touted. and he also lived up to all that had been said of him, but Edwards, unheralded in the advance notices, shone with the brilliance of a Kohinoor. And that's pretty bright brilliance at that, when 1t Is remembered that Edwards is accompanied at all times by silhouette complexion.
 Rivers is the man who teamed with Edwards in the execution of the long distance forward passes which seemed to bewilder the Tuskegeeans. It was at the ap- pointed spot at the proper time, sent those gangling arms in the air for the swirling sphere, and almost all the time held 1t. If Rivers work here Friday Is any criterion, he deserves a place again on the All Afro-Amer- ican mythical team.
 Coles at center also played a great game for the Talladegans, while Myers, an end, was the shining light for the Tuskegee outfit. Myers Is the man who carried the ball over for the first score. This happened in the first quarter. and for a time it seemed this turn in the luck had bol- stered tse morale of the Tuskegee

 The cadets are not without an aerial game, but this is more or less subordnated to straight line bucking and end runs It is probable that the soldiers will depend on an ortho- dox attack, early in the game, but should they meet hardy defense they may uncover some sensational over head play.
 Pitt Is Powerful
 The power of the University of Pittsburg eleven is well known throughout eastern football circles. What the University of Nebraska has to offer against the panthers' foot hall extraordinary is more or less d mystery.
 The westerners invasion of this section a year ago was not partic- ularly impressive. consisting of a vic tory over Rutgers and q defeat at the hands of Penn State. Their home record this season indicates strong team. but there is nothing upon which to base a comparison with Pitts burg.
 In the other more important games of the afternoon Cornell is expected to defeat Columbia and the Navy to triumph over Bucknell but it Is doubtful if the play of the scores will be as one-sided as is generally expected.
 Lafayette and Pennsylvania appear to be set for battle royal, with the odds slightly favoring the Easton- ians.

New York, November 4.-One inter varsity classic and three intersec- tional contests feature the eastern football programme this weekend.
 The rd-Princeton game, with its traditions dating back to 1S77 holds chief attention, although the Notre Dame-Army, Pittsburg Nebras- ka and Yale Maryland battlers all figure prominently because of the different sections of the country rep resented
 Among the more important of the hcme-and- home games are the Co- lumbia- Cornell. Lafayette PennsyIva. nia, Wesleyan Amherst, BucInell Navy, Union Williams. Lehigh- -Muh lonberg. Rochester, Colgate, Penn State-Carnegte Tech and Fordhanl- Georgetown struggles.
 Both Are At Best.
 Princeton and Harvard, with rec ord of two tie games in the last tW Q years, are expected to furnish much of the gridiron fireworks. Both uni versailles will be represented. by their strongest combinations something that has been missi1fg in the recent games of the two institutions. The Tigers reinforced by their backfield stars. Lourie and Garrity, expect to present the sturdiest lineup of tho year. with second string line and backfield subs of scarcely lesser cal iber available to rush into tho play at any moment.
 The Crimson will face the Orange and Black with all it's regulars in the initial formation. Captain Kane. ,1 T tI..- regular line positions, and the back field will probably comprise Bucll, owens, Gratwick and Fitts. This combination should give Princeton a terrific battle throughout the entire SO minutes of play
 The contest appears to resolve it. self into a battle of two or three Princeton super-stars, playing be- hind fairly strong offensive and defensive line, against less bril- liant but more machine like eleven. Judged from the seasons records, the two teams appear to be equally matched, considered as a whole, and it is probable that the so-called breaks of the game will play a prom inent part.
 A Capacity Crowd.
 Another capacity throng will gath CT at the game for the Palmer Me morial stadium, seating nearly 5S,000 was sold out some days ago. Specta- tors. the major portion of whom will migrate to Princeton in the forenoon, probably will be repaid by seeing a battle royal between elevens each possessing brilliant forward passing combinations and punters and field goal kickers of more than ordinary ability. Plenty of open and over head play is expected.
 Similar aerial fireworks are pre- dicted for the Army-Notre Dame game, for the Indianans, always not ed for their splenddly conceived and executed forward passes, have an ex- ceptionally well developed staff for the hurling and handling of the ball. In recent game Notre Dame gained more than 260 yards by forward pass

Memorial Will Be
 Unueiled on Campus
 of Georgia Saturday

Athens. November 2.-(Special.)-- On November 5. the date of the south ern football classic. the Virginia Georgia game. a memorial will be un- yelled on the University of Georgia campus to the memory of Won Gam mon, famous Georgia fuliback' who was killed in a game with Virginia at Brisbane park october 30, 1897.
 The memorial on the campus at Athens, presented by the University of Virginia Athletic association to the University of Georgia Athletic association, will be unveiled by the governors of the two states. It com- memorates one of the most dramatic incidents in the history of American football.
 Battle Against Football
 So strong was the feeling against football in the south after von Cam mon was fatally injured In a con test with Virginia that the future of the game was seriously threatened. The crusade against football waged following the tragic death oS Von Cannon was taken up by the New York Herald, the Medical Record, the New York World and the Chicago city council Press and pulpit every where were strong In their denun- citation of the sport.
 In the. Georgia state legislature a bill prohibiting the playing of foot ball at university had passed one house with a vote of s1 to 3. when Mrs Cannon of Rome, Ga. mother of the dead football hero, made the splendid appeal that stemmed the tide of unfavorable sentiment.
 Mrs. Cannon Saves Game
 Though still mourning the death of her son. Mrs. Cannon. with fine sacrifice of personal feeling, appealed to the governor of Georgia and the legislature to allow the game to be played. She insisted that she would let her other sons play. so convinced was She that football was manly sport and that the death of her son was due to an accident.
 Because of her action the bill was defeated, and football was continued as major sport at the University of Georgia. which has since turned out some of the greatest football teams the country has seen.
 The von Cannon memorial sund was started by the University of Mir ginia, which gave the University cf Georgia the first $500 toward the fund This is perhaps the only in etance on record of one university rroviding a memorial for 2 football player on the team of a rival in- stitution.

TALLADEGA WINS BIG GRID CLASSIC FROM " TUSKEGEE|
Edwards and Rivers Chief Factors In Downfall of
 Tuskeqee at Redwood

In one of the most spectacular games ever viewed at Redwood park, Talladega college downed Tps kegee institute 39 to ' in the annual colored classic of the south. vast throng of fans was gathered to wit ness the brilliant playing of the two rivals on the gridiron. Every ebony hued fan that could possibly get to Redwood was there and the white section of the right field bleachers was crowded.
 Edwards and Rivers were the whole show from the standpoint of thing in the world that football star is required to do. He is a sensa- tion in every department of the full back role and his right wing man works in perfect harmony with him. Edwards passing is wonderful, his kicking superb and his end running and line prunglng are above parallel on any colored football eleFen.
 Rivers, all-American colored end. was working in rare form Friday aft ernoon and time and again he re- ceived a long pass for substantial gain.
 The Tuskegee outfit fought hard and drew the first blood when they scored in the second quarter on a fake end run. Blocton carried the ball over. Talladega tied the score it, oh c1r ra- gee never again seriously threatened the Talladega Tigers goal line.
 Both teams fought without a re- gard to roughness, and only one sub stitution was made during the game. It seemed impossible for them to be hurt. High tackling was common on both teams. However, they tackled hard.
 Edwards threw two wonderfully accurate passes, both for over 40 yards, and his sensational runs, one for 55 yards. another for 50, and several other gains for not quite so far, featured the game. Edwards also booted the ball from placement on the 25-yard line squarely through the erossbars.
 The star of the game from a Tus- kegee standpoint was Blocton, full back. Blocton gained the greatest amount of yardage of the Tuskegee backs. and was always in the thick of tue fray. Blocton nipped off several gains through the line and around end for 20 and 25 yards. The Talladega outfit should make any colored team In the country fight hard to hold it to even a low score. with such a forward passing combination as Edwards and Rivers aided by White on the opposite wing. The Talladega outfit is also strong on straight football mixed in with one or two spicy fakes.
 Myers was the star of the Tuske- gee line. He scored the Tuskeree teams only touchdown on a double pass. He was also good on the de- fense.
 The lineup was as follows: Talia 1e.sa Position .Tuskegee

 Bernier fin Towr
 Charlie Behnier, director of ath- letics at the University of Ala bama. came up to Birmingham with the advance guard from U. of A. Charlie didn't have any thing in particular to do. so he went out to see the negroes play, sat in the press box with the pewspaper men and swapped yarns with them. Charlie knows as much football as the next one, and he, too, marveled at the won derful passing ability of Ed wards and his all-around ability. His praise for the work of Riv- CTS was just as enthusiastic.
 Rowling League To He Formed
 Sake Larney reports that an ef- effort Is on foot to organize a City Bowling league. Sake says Carnes of the Alabama Power company has already announced that he has organized a bowling team, and is anxious to get in the league. Six or eight teams will vie for honors on the hardwoods this winter, and any team of bowlers In Birmingham seeking to get in the n-smashing loop should get in touch with Sake at the Birmingham Bowling all leys within the next week. He says individual bowling was never better in Birmingham than right now, but that greater team work would prevail should the different organizations decide to form a City league.
