PREP GRIDDERS HOLD SWAY IN
 THE MAGIC CITY
No College Games Are on Card, as High Schools
 Have Bio Week

1nTo0 maJOr nlBn SChool IooLDAll classics win feature sportdom's week. end card this week. when the preps of the city will hold undisputed sway for SIagtown Friday and Saturday. Within the narrow space of some few hours, quite bit of high school argument of who's best will be set tied when Simpson High gets a try at Jefferson County on Friday and Saturday finds Ensley meeting Disque in the forenoon and the Crimsons battling the Woodlawn Colonels in the afternoon.
 Probably the biggest game of the week will be the Central Crimson Junior Colonel affair that will be staged Saturday afternoon at 2;30 o'clock at Redwood, to decide part of the big question as to who are the Magic City prep champions Not so many suns ago the strong Ensley hosts were fought to a tie, 6-6, by the Colonels, who euncorked @ punch that was surprising in it's ferocity and suddenness
 Whether or not Bancroft and com pany will be able to hoodwink tho heavier Crimsons, with their slash ing around end plays, mixed prettily
 
 tion that can only be settled when the fight Is over It is & surety. how ever, that, with Captain Holder at one end and Lynch and Strickland tusseling for the other, the Colonels will meet a lot of opposition when they try their speciality.
 Central Unbenten
 Central this year has run through a successful season so far, conquering hrr., aR AI. | Al. < North Alabama has had to offer. With heavy, well coached line, that shows a tough front to all line drives, and 8 pair of well coached ends, her for ward wall looks impressing to a lighter team. Tie Central backs, who have been hampered through the season by injuries, are rounding into condition. and good fight awaits the crowd. Probably some champion ship talk will be based on the result of this argument, for both teams en- ter the fray unconquered.
 Saturday morning at 10.30 sharp, the fighting combination from the west rim of town will entertain with football talk strong grid combina- ton from Gadsden, Disque High. While the Disques were defeated earlier In the season by Woodlawn, this happened to be one of the first games of tho year, and plenty of time has elapsed In which the Gadsden boys have had the opportunity to be- come much stronger and more for midable team, which they have done. Defeated earlier In the year by Rome. Ga. they defeated their once con- querors In game some Gays ago. and are showing to all fast, scrap- py bunch of real fighters that will make the Jackets fight every dogged step If they are to win.
 Ensley will be hampered by in- juries. During the grid card so far her otherwise faultless style has been cramped by illness to tho play CTS and frequent injuries, and Sat- urday will find her entering the bat tic in the usual condition. With no state losses on her tally card so far this season. loss Saturday would kill her chances of claiming tho state championship, and 2 great battle will be staged when the one tries to keep her record clean and the other tries to smirch it.
 Of the other numerous grid scraps i that are to be staged in the confines of the city. the Purple Tornado-Jef- ferson County go will be the most interesting. Simpson pulled . big
 
 explosion last week when they pushed over a win against the St. Bernard Saints, despite their frequent objec- 1 tions. Whether or not these same uncertain charges of Coach Neese will be able to pull a repeat and top pie all dope and lick the highly rated County boys. will be known this afternoon.
 Jefferson County has a heavy team, with nice assortment of fast, scrap py backs to work behind it, and un- til her recent defeat at the hands of Bessemer, was on the road to state honors. Simpson, with few wins for herself. but the possessor of strong scrapping team. will give their heav- fer opponents all they crave in the fight line. This little affair will be pulled in Munger bowl. this after noon at o'clock sharp.
 Prepdom will take hold of tho city l for the first time this year, as no college games are being staged. Bir- l mingham- Southern and Howard both journey to foreign fields and leave 1 the way open.
