PAINTERS LEAVE FOR MISSISSIPPI BATTLE FRIDAY Y
Local Eleven in Good Trim For Game With Ole Miss
 Eleven

Sunshine Slopes, and especially Munger Bowl, was a scene of bee hive activity yesterday as the Bir- mingham-Southern Partners were rushed in preparation for the battle with the University of Mississippi Saturday In Oxford, Miss.
 Ole Miss presents formidable at tack this year, as was ably demon strated by their ability to score 8 duo of touchdowns against the Mis- sissippi A. & M. Maroons two weeks ago in Meridian. While the Pan- thers were not hardly so fortunate against the Aggies, they are not in the least superstitious and will fight the Mississippians as hard as ever.
 The Panthers suffered no injury in the game againt Millsaps and the team will line up in superb physical shape Saturday barring no accidents in practice between now and the time the team entrains Friday noon.
 BaGIey to Return
 Bo Bagley, center, will be able to get back in the harness Saturday, following absence during the past two weeks with an infected neck. Levie will sub for Bagley during the game, providing he does not get in action elsewhere on the line during the combat.
 Ellis and Red Farr will probably be the starting tackles, with Big'un Hodges and Tall Hall starting the battle at the guards positions.
 At the wings will be Big Hoss Candy and Cotton Caldwell. both of whom have ben shining in brilliant order during the past few games. Candy and Caldwell are both in fine shape for the game now, neither hav- ing suffered an injury yet during the season so far.
 Captain Aubrey Miller continues to toe the ball with increasing ability and his bunting for the past two games has averaged more than his opponents. Miller was obliged to fill Lanky Jim Rogers gap in this de- partment when he was lost to the Sunshine Slopers. having left school.
 Following Saturdays battle, the Partners meet Sewanee on the Pur- rle Tigers field. The Birmingham Southern brass band. S5 strong, will accompany the team into the purple mountains. according to plans worked out.

III mdulSOH square ONIQen tonight.
 After twenty years in the ring Britton. the sage and crafty master of defense, twice the holder of the crown that toppled tonight, was a poor match for the aggressive Jer- seyman. who dispayed more than or dinary knowledge of the science of fisticuffs. Walker won all the way.
 Britton Used Head
 Throughout the latter half of he battle, Britton was on the verge of a knockout. It was not his from sides and steel jaws that aVerted that fate. but his stock of gray matter. punishment, was able to function. At one time Briton's eyes were giassy, but by strategic retreat he managed to hold off his man until his brain cleared.
 There was something odd about the fight that was not satisfactorily explained to the crowd that filled the historic arena. When the con- testants entered the ring, it was an nounced on behalf of the New York boxing commission and Promoter Tex Rickard that "all bets were off" This afternoon wagers were laid at 6 to 5 on Britton, but when the preilm- inaries began tonight. the long end had been transferred to Walker. He was made favorite at s to 5.
 Despite this unusual incident the crowd seemed to believe in the con- test. They howled as they watched the 21-year- -old fighter pummel Brit ton: they held their breath when they saw the coronet slipping off the ageing head of the weakening champion, and they applauded as each of the closing rounds of the bout ended with Britton. though gon's enemies. was givenaiooiol9eii reeiiag, still on the safe side of a knockout. As the last round began. there were shouts of hope that Brit ton could survive.
 They were unnecessary, for Walker. weakened from his efforts and shorn of some power by Brittons earlier blaws, was without the sleep producing punch. Briton knew he was whipped and without awaiting the decision he congratulated Walk CT, T wish you luck, boy" Walker replied that the champion was the gamest man he has tackled.
 Briton went to his knees nearly a half dozen times, first in the second round. After a demoralizing third, he appeared strong in the fourth and fifth and then grew appreciably weaker. He made desperate trials for a knockout in the ninth. again when most helpless in the tenth, and in the eleventh made a flash that startled the ringside. But, after the spurt, he had nothing left but his gameness and he showed quantities of this until the end.
 In the semi-final Sailor Friedman of Chicago knocked out Eddie Fitzsimmons of Yonkers, in the sixth round of what was to have been a hn1lf The uinnar'q paiphf was 146. eight pounds more than his opponent.
 Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo was given the decision over Redcap Will son of Yonkers in a six-round pre- liminary. Billy Mascot Of California and Johnny Cannon of Brooklyn fought a four-round draw.
