 "Ensley does not protest a single player on Phillips squad. Every man that goes onto the field for Ems ley today will be in good condition. We have no aiibis, win or lose," so saying Coach Jim Bryan, of the Ens- ley High school, closed out the con- troVerSy over the playln& or tommy Grill for Phillips and everything is set for the big game at Redwood field Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The eligibility of Grill was a mat ter of question between the two op- posing factions in today's battle and the result was tha. Grill will not be used in the game today due to action on the part of Phillips athletic com mittee.
 Coach Bryan says he is ready to pit his Yellow Jackets against the Crim- sons and will have no comeback if beaten. The Yellow Jackets have been put through gruelling week of practice marked by four hard scrim- mages. The Yellow Jackets will go onto the field seasoned team of players, although they will be some what lighter than the Crimsons.
 The Crimsons did little work Fri- day afternoon and are also ready for battle in their annual clash with the Jackets. This game has gotten to be the classic of city high schools and for years past the two teams have battled annually in hot strug gles.
 The Yellow Jackets will be minus the services of a halfback. Vines. one of their best defensive men. will be out, but his place will be filled by Pearson, fleet 13S-pounder, who will handle the position well.

 It was a sensational finish to a game that looked like it would again be a 6-6 tie, as last year. Wilson, Spencer. Webber and Lockhart starred for Talladega, while Cotton. Lock hart and Barnes were the stars for Morris Brown.

Missouri Drops Moue
 To Get Horse Racing

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 2.-F. J.. Bannister, president of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce. who re- gently announced the chamber would work for the return of horse rac- ing in Missouri, has decided to drop the movement.
 "On mature reflection of the ques- tion." he said, "I have cope to the conclusion that race meetings would not be successful without gambling, which could be restricted as in other states, but at the same time it would become a legalized form of gambling. and, therefore, l. am unwilling to make further effort for horse rac- ing"
 MT. Bannister had planned to ap- point a committee to draw up a rac- ing bill for presentation to the next session of the state legislature.

BIG TEN ELEVENS READY FOR CAME

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.--Big ten foot ball squads today held their final practice before Saturdays games which will make or mar the cham pionship standing of several leading contenders heretofore unbeaten.
 The clash between the University of Illinois and University of Chicago, both undefeated, will eliminate one of the chief title contenders.
 The contest will be the Illini home- coming and 55,00G persons are ex- pected to fill the new stadium which will be formally opened.
 Michigan and Iowa, tied for west ern conference honors last year, are reported on edge for their clash at Iowa City. Iowa's defeat by Illinois has diminished the hopes of Hawk eye adherents for a victory, but thd Iowa line strength has been cause for worry among Coach Yost's men.
 Minnesota will meet the North western squad. Other blk ten teams will be idle or will meet non-con- ference teams.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Throughout
the most OF the early trading period
today the stock market was up-
settled and with few exceptions,
prices Of the speculative leaders de.
scended to the lower levels. The old
leaders were allowed to shift for
themselves, and speculative interest
was diverted to new avenues with
very good success. New forward
movements were inaugurated in the
can stocks, the tire and rubber
shares and a few of the motors,
notably WHY'S Overland preferred,
and small number of industrials,
including Coca Cola and North Amer
lean.
The bears lead an important argu-
ment in the cabled reports Of
Frances rejection Of the British
reparations plan and the possible
disruption Of the Paris conference.
But the strength of sterling ex-
change was an evidence that finar1-
clai leaders were not concerned over
The outlook. Greater Significance in
the stock market was the fact that
active stocks were due for "a reac-
ton from the almost uninterrupted
advance which featured the month
II December. Commission houses
have been reporting sales of stocks
on accounts Of traders who pre-
ferred to have their settlements in
1928 instead Of figuring in on their
1922 profits.

With the exception OF Studebaksr

Disagres ON Farm Credits.


Unless the Senate Banking and

agree before the end Of the week
upon general agricultural credit leg
islation, the Capper livestock credit
bin will be reported from that
committee to the Senate as a
separate measure, subject to amend.
ment on the floor.
A serious division has developed
in the committee over the problem
Of general credits. Some members
believe all the requirements OF the
existing situation would be met by
merely extending from six to nine
months the maturity limit Of farm
paper eligible for rediscount with
the Federal Reserve Banks. Others
are strongly contending that the
War Finance Corporation should be
converted into q pecuniary agency
for the extension Of intermediate
credits. A few members are OF the
opinion that both principles should
be employed and will seek to have
provisions to this end incorporated
I'm the Capper bill while it remains
before the committee.
The committee agreed Tuesday to
report within few days an amend
nlent to the Federal farm act ex-
tending the loan limit of Federal
land banks from $4,000 to $4,000,
