VINCENT DEFEATS ALL PLANS MADE BROWNIES, B TO 0 FOR BIG BATTLE
Yale To Have Big Edge On Harvard In Annual
 Game

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-Football experts have agreed upon all but one detail of the game next Saturday be- tween Yale and Harvard at Soldiers Field, Boston. and that is the siBs of the blue score over the Crimson.
 After Yale's overw helming defeat oF Princeton, 27 to 0. at the bowl Saturday, and Harvards downfall be- fore Brown, 20 to :, virtually every one but the undergraduates of Har- yard has conceded the game to the New Haven outfit. On the basis of Harvard's , to victory over Prince ton and the results of Saturdays battles, they are estimating next Week-ends score.
 Other experts were lamenting the loss of prestige they suffered along with Syracuse when it flopped un- eXpectedly before Colgate. Is to '. The experts also failed to foresee Pittsburg giving Washington and Jefferson the finest defeat the Presi- dents received this season, 1S to (.
 The turmoil or Saturday left only two strictly eastern teams undefeat- ed for the season, Yale and Cornell. The big Red aggregation went through gymnatlstic stunts with Johns Hopkins pretending an oppo- sition and won 52 to 0. West Vir- ginia, which some consider eastern, remained a winner, trouncing St. Louis AS to 0.
 Football interest will be divided next Saturday between Boston and New York, for here the Army and Navy meet in their annual struggle for service honors. The Cadets took Bethany into camp Saturday, 20 to 6, while the Middies were dressing to play Nebraska, conquerors of Notre Dame.

Saturday Will Break Tied Standing For Lead
 In South

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 19.-The three-ply tie in the Southern confer ence gridiron trace will be dissolved next Saturday but the dope, as tickle in the south as any where this year, offers no advance solution.
 Vanderbilt, Washington and Lee and Alabama are knotted in the lead with three victories and one tie game each. Vanderbllt's record must stand without further support, for the Commodores' game Saturday with Georgia was their last on the con- ference card.
 Washington and Lee has one more game-with North Carolina State on remaining ganes-with Georgia next Saturday and with Florida on the fol- lowing Thursday. Records of the Gen erals and North Carolina state sug- gest victory for the former but the outcome of the Alabama Georgia af- fair seems doubtful. This contest. an annual clash, takes on greater i'm portance because of it's championship aspect.

Paddock Records Fall

DETROIT. Nov. t9-Charles Pad dock the fastest human being" was given thumbs down when the rec ords committee of the National Ath- letic union meeting here refused by vote of 4 to 1 to approve seven rec ords said to have been made by Pad dock in 1921. The committee had ruled against these records last year but they were brought up at this meeting by Robert S. Weaver, presi- dent of the Southern Pacific Athletic association. Reasons given by the committee for refusal to approve the records were that they were made in one race and had not been timed by competent officials. The committee adopted a resolution that hereafter records made at intermediate dis tances in race should not be all lowed.

Simpson FuIIbaCk Too Good For Jones Valley
 Eleven

Charlie Slick Vincent defeated the Jones Valley High school foot ball team Monday afternoon by the score of 13 to 0. Vincent was too good for the Brownies and his smashing line plLnges, his great end runs. his forward passes and his work in backing up the line formed the apex of the Simpson Purple Tor nado that swept the Newton clan aside. Vincent .'as the big star of the game and the one sure-shot ground gSiner. on the Simpson team. Fumbles by other baclfeld men were costly.
 The Tornado should have rolled up a score of four touchdowns despite the great fighting of the Brownies when the ball neared their goal Once Captain Red" Hickman threw a touchdown away vixen less than a yard would have earned 6 first down within three yards of the goal line. On the fourth down, when called on he fumbled and the Brownies punted out. Once again the Brownies stayed off defeat when Fox, halfback for the Brownies, hurled over the line and stopped Vincent in his tracks on line buck that would have carried the ball over for first down with only about five yards to go for touchdown.
 It was not until the final quarter that the Tornado was able to go oyer the goal, regardless of the fact that throughout the entire game Jones Valley was fighting on the defense and never got the ball into Simpson territory. It was a great bit of de- fensive play for the Brownies and, although Simpson had them out classed, they put up a great battle.
 In the fourth quarter, after three rushes down the field on line bucks ,9 11A Ti-Ct O f which were halted on Jones Val leys four or five-yard line, slick ' Vincent went over tho line for a tot chdowr and Hickman drop kicked goal.
 The final touchdown was made by Vincent on a great 45-yard run from a fake pass formation. The play be- wildered the Brownies until Vincent had gotten some headway and the fleet Simpson back completed the run before his opponents could mass in front of him.
 Red Harvey, in the line, played l q, good game for Jones Valley, while Edney and Lovett were offensive stars. and Fox played great de- i fensive game Lovetts kicking | staved off defeat several times.

Alabama Meets. Georgia Bulldog At Montgomery

UNIVERSITY, Ala. Nov. 19.-(Spe- cialQ-Two undefeated Crimson foot ball machines will leave the Cap stone this week for Montgomery where two respective football teams from the University of Georgia will be met in battles of championship nature.
 Although the Georgia Bulldogs arc out of the running for the southern inter- r-collegiate conference title, Ala bama must defeat them in the clash Saturday if they expect to remain in the race with Vanderbilt and Wash n9ton and Lee. And the freshmen have the same proposition facing them, they have not been beaten by freshmen team of any Dixie col lege.
 Saturday will find the Capstone deserted as far as students are con cerned It will be a holiday and everyone is taking advantage of 1t to see the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide battle each other Special trains will be operated from Tuscaloosa, while scores of automobiles will carry foot ball fans to the capital city. Ap- proximate 1,500 students, three of four hundred from Tuscaloosa, and others from the surrounding section are expected to make the trip to Montgomery.
 The Alabama student body plans making it a gala day with their 4O- piece band and strutting band master and three cheer leaders. The band is one of the produest things Ala bama has. If any college in the south has a band master who struts with his baton better than little Jess Long. that college has not been seen this year. And the Crimson cheer leaders are noise producers. Slim Carter. Herb Steed and Ham Perkins are practicing hard this week so as to be just right at Cramton bowl. yandy Jolts Bulldogs.
 The Bulldogs were given a severe jolt last Saturday at the hands of the Vanderbilt Commodores and Alabama had an easy time with Mike Dona- hue's Louisiana State Tigers. Ac- cording to those who saw the Vandy- Georgia clash. it was just a case of Vandy being right against Georgia That game does not make 'Bama confident for playing Vanderbilt is much different than playing Alabama for Georgia. Captain Bennett, Day Fletcher and other Bulldogs will fight the Tidesmen much harder than they fought Vanderbilt,
 Alabama is apt to start the same eleven against the Bulldogs as they have been starting the last few games Practice Monday afternoon at Denny field was of a light nature with one or two regulars absent. Just in front of the gym were the freshmen under. Coach VaBdegraafs and their work was similar to the varsity workout
