Coffee High VS..
|Cullman High
Saturday At 2

Coffee High and Cullman County
High will reach Birmingham Satur-
day morning with large delegations
of fans ready for the championship
game to be played on Berry field at
o'clock. Both teams will come on
special trains and over $50 fans from
Cullman are expected, while some zoe
or 500 are expected from Florence
with the Coffee eleven.
The Florence aggregation has gone
through the season undefeatcd and
recently defeated the strong Tus-
cumbia eleven in preliminary game
at Florence. Their victory over the
clear record up to the time OF the
game, gave them the north Alabama
championship.
Cullman also has a good record
and has lost but one game, st. Ber-
nard won a to victory over the
Bearcats in the last game of the
season. A victory over Shelby High
last Saturday eliminated the Wild
cats from the running and left only
Cullman and Coffee to compete for
the central and north Alabama
championship.
The game Saturday should be a
good one as both teams are working
under good coaches and have a num-
Der of stars on their teams. In Pu9h
and Callahan, the Cullman aggrega-
ton has two strong bacllfield men
while in Ellis and Larimore, the Cot
fee delegation has a couple of scor-
ing aces.
Both teams will come to Birming-
ham intent on winning the game and
have been practicing hard this week.

VINCENTINI FIGHT
CAUSES COMMENT
Fans Say Shugrue's EyeSight
Is Failing And Is
Not Fit

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Friends of
honest boxing are voicing informal
protests against the proposed fight
between Luis Vincentini, the Chilean
lightweight, and Johnny Shugrue of
Jersey City, Friday night, on the
ground that Vincentini is to be sent
against a ''blind man. for sordid box
office reasons.
Shugrue's older. brother. Joe, was an
uncrowned lightweight champion in
his day but was forced from the ring
without a chance at the real title
because his vision failed. He is now
almost entirely blind and Johnny, who
tried to take up where Joe left off.
also has been suffering from faulty
vision.
Johnny gave one flash of promise
last year when he knocked out the
falling Willie Jaskson and gave Elmo
Flores. a Filipino, severe lacing. IT
was noticed in the Flores fight, how
ever that he was blinking at the
ring-lights apparently suffering from
eve strain Shortly after that bout he
dropped out of prominence and he has
not had a bout for several months.
The impairment of his vision is said
to have been the cause of Shugrue's
retirement.
Tex Richard, who has Vincentini
tied up by a contract, hopes to make
him almost as great money producer
as Luis Angelo Firpo. Therefore, it is
suspected that he picked Shugrue for
Vincentini's next opponent in the be-
lief that Shugrue would be an easy
sacrifice to the progress of the
Chilean. y
AS the boxing commission fire.
quently orders boxers to submit to
physical inspection to avoid the risk
of fatalities or serious injuries, the
commission may call in Shugrue and
put him through an optical test. In
this connection 1t is noted that Willie
Jackson, whose condition is reported
to be not of the best, has been ordered
I to report fora thorough test before
the commission will act on his APP
lplication for a renewed license.

ton for spacing cars can also be had.
The game of polo is a comparatively
new one to the Birmingham fans and
the two local polo organizations are
trying to popularize the game with
the local people. A few of the points
of the game are given below to &C
quaint more fans with the high
lights of the game:
Polo is a very fascinating game and
easily understood. In baseball every
man or boy wants to bat. The kids
always close to see who bats first.
In polo you bat or strike at the ball
to your hearts content.
The field is 500 yards long and 100
yards wide. There are two goal posts
at each end eight yards apart. The
balls are of wood generally bamboo,
and weigh five ounces. Four players
compose a team and are numbered
consecutively from one to four, with
the numbers on their backs. No. /

siVe player, No. the pivot and No. /
the back" or defensive player.
To start the game, the teams line
lup on the center line crossing the
field and facing the referee, who is
also mounted and near the side line.
The players line up in order and pair
off with their sticks down on the
outside. each team toward the goal
it is defending. This is the position
assumed to start the play after each
goal or at the beginning of each
period
The game is divided into eight
periods. generally 7la minutes each,
When the timekeeper has the bugle
blown it denotes the end of the
period but the ball continues in play
until knocked out or a goal is made.
In the last period the game ends
with the whistle unless there is tie.
In that ease the period continues and
if necessary another one is played.

ground between the teams and the

ST. BERNARD TEAM
is GIVEN BANQUET
Moore Is Elected Captain OF
Team For Next
Season

CULLN1AN. Ala, Dec. 13.-(Spe-
cial.)-The st. Bernard football team
was entertained with a scruptuous
banquet, the gift of J. II. Clark OF
Cullman, in the college auditorium.
The hall was beautifully decorated
with blue and white streamers in
terspersed with sprigs of ivy AMI
laurel. Among those present were
Messrs. j. Fl. Clark, A. j. Wachter
and B. 3. Thompson of Cullman. A
beautiful loving cup, the gift of
Thompson Bros. of Cullman, was
presented to the team by B. Thomp-
son in token of the teams victory
over the Culln an High school on
Thanksgiving Day.
One of the important features of
the occasion was the election of a
plain for next years team Sykes
Moore of Nashville, the fighting little
center of the Little Blue Line was
almost unanimously chosen, together
with ALBERT Slovensky of Brming
ham as alternate. The following
were awarded the varsity "B" and
received beautiful white and blue
coat sweaters for the good work
during the past season: Capt. Cecil
l.. Jackson, Bernard NJ. HalToran,
James j. Halloran, Alexander p Car
land, Sykes C. Moore, Leon V. Du-
lion, Albert Slovensky, Gus Tuck
Theo Reding, Raymond Mackin, Ed
WSIu COoh anu JOllH hcllEei.
The retiring captain, c. l.. Jack
son, of South Pittsburg, Tenn in his
speech, stated that the past sea son
was one of the best in the history
of the school. He thanked his team
mates for their good work under
him. 1t was to them. he said, that
most of the praise was due. Some
of the best teams in the state We're
played and defeated Only one game
in the entire schedule, he said, he
was ashland of, and that was the
Lanier game in Montgomery, But
this came early in the season when
the team was in poor shape after
the two heavy teams from Arab and
Brownsville had been encountered.
The complete record of the Saints"
for the season is as follows;

play starts. Each No. I tries to
take the bail to his goal but if he
fails - hit 1t he rides toward his
goal anyway and takes his position
forward. During the play the men
are paired off l and 4, . and g.
and g. l and 4 Say we have two
teams, the Reds and the Blues.
Red No. ] plays forward and guards
Blue 4. who is defending his goal.
The Red is guarded by Blue and
vice-versa, while Blue l and the Red
are toward the other goal.
To make goal which counts l
point. the ball must be driven be-
tween the goal posts. If 1t goes
over the line but misses the posts
it must be knocked in by the team
defending that goal. The ball IS
placed on the line where it went OUT,
one player knocks in followed by
another who strikes in case the first
one misses. When the first rnarl
passes over the ball, it is in play and
the opposing team is at liberty to
try to take the ball away and shoot
at the goal again. If the ball goes
over the sideboards, it is thrown in
by the referee at the point where it
went out. Ii the ball is knocked
over the end line by a player de-
Tending that goal, it is called safe
ty, which gives the opposing team
free stroke on the COWARD line. "a
The player riding the ball has
possession of it, that is the PLAYER
who last hit the ball and is following
it. If another player rides into him
at a dangerous angle or crosses in
front of him close enough to cause
him to check up, it is a foul and the
team on which the offending player
belongs is penalized. A player may
be ridden off the ball, but he must
be overtaken rather than run into,
and showed off turning him out.
Fouls are sometimes unavoidable due
to poor and unmanageable horses,
but all dangerous ''roughing' is pro-
hibited.
These are only the main points
but if understood it is very Interest,"
