MISSISSIPPPS BIG CAME THIS WEEK

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 17.-One of the most historic battles of the south ern gridiron world will be resumed here Saturday when Mississippi A. and M. and the University of Mississippi meet for their twenty-first struggle It has been a disasterous campaign for "Ole Miss so far. for she has been able to win only five game and tie one and has not come out on top since 1910 and A. and M. was swamp ed by a score of 30 to 0. "Ole Miss came nearer winning in 1922 than at any time in the last 13 years, losing to her rival 1S 10 19, and her sup porters this year have hopes of her marking back to 1910 and calling a halt on the string of defeats. The contest is believed here to be the oldest traditional intrastate games in the south.

STRIBLING ADDS TO HIS CLAIM FOR A
 ANOTHER CHANCE
Macon High School Boy Shows Up Well Against
 Burns, In Detroit

MACON, Ga, Oct. b. Young" Stribling, light heavyweight sensation of Macon and the south at large, added materially to his claim for a return match with Mike Me Tigue, light heavyweight champion of the world, by his decisive defeat of Tommy Burns Monday night, at Detroit, on the occasion of his north ern debut.
 Stribling recently fought a 10- round draw with McTigue at Colum- bus, Ga, and his showing against the Detroit boy offset the tales that have been set afloat from the McTigue camp to the effect that the cham pion was robbed in not being given a decision over the Georgia boy.
 Stribling won a host of admirers at Detroit by the clean-cut manner in which he bested Burns, completely outpointing him and showing at all times a crafty brand of ringmanship that convinced ringleaders that he is defeating tho champion in another match.
 Regarding sending his boy against McTigue a second time, Pa" Strib- ling. manager of the student fighter. says:
 we will fight McTigue at any time, any place and for any consid- eration, with the exception of one"
 The only concession that Pa" de- mands is that Harry Ertle, who ref creed the fight at Columbus. be not allowed to officiate in the return scrap. It will be remembered that Ertle gave three different decisions at Columbus, finally declaring that his first announcement of a draw stood as official.
 T believe that my boy will win +I.a ol,o tnp n eriu trial" Pa" says.
 In the meanwhile Young Stribling Is continuing his studies at a local school and engaging in a few fights.

Both Tanks And Giants Will Do Some Rebuilding

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-CBy Asso- ciated Press.) s.)-Not only will the New York Giants, fallen worlds champion, go through a rebuilding process before they are ready to seek their successors to basebalPs crown, also may bolster a few weak links In their victorious machine before the 1924 season gets under way.
 It developed today that Everett Scott, veteran shortstop of the Yan- kees, who holds the all-time record for consecutive games played, is con- sidering voluntary retirement, al though Miller Huggins, manager or the new chamipons, has no desire himself to part with the games greatest iron man.
 Scott, however, has an attractive business enterprise in view, which, if accepted would mean his passing after having piled up the remarkable record of participating in LBS con- secutive games, a record he started which nearly doubles the best pre- vious major league mark.
 "This may be my last world s series" Scott admitted just before one of the games with the Giants. T want to be at my best, so that If I don't come back in the spring l can remember with pride any last season, I've been around long time and I'm not getting any faster"
 Scott has his wish so far as the series was concerned, for he played career, batting over 300 and missing only one chance in the field.
 Scott may find the call of the game too strong to resist when spring comes around, but in the event he drops out his shoes may be filled by Joe Boley, S100,000 beauty of the Baltimore Orioles, who has been eagerly sought by number of major league clubs for several sea sons. The purchase of Boley has never been officially announced by the Tanks or Jack Dunnfi manager of the Baltimore international cham pions, but it is understood the Yam kees have first claim on him.
 If Boley is not available, however. Ernie Johnson and Mike McNally, Yankee utility men, may battle for the shortstop berth.
 Huggins also is understood to be anxious to- obtain right-hand hitting outfielder, either to alter nate with or replace Whitey Witt in center field.
 Carl Mays, veteran pitcher, who has passed the crest of his effective ness, may be involved in 9 deal.
 Series retrospect today brought to light another record made by Bob Meusel, whose hit broke up the de- ciding game. Meusel drove in eight runs during the series, shattering the mark of seven established by Tom my Leach with Pittsburg in the series of 1903 and equalled by Danny l. Dot @f l, ', Athletics; Eddie Roush of Cincin- nati, and Irish Meusel, brother of Bob. in thme 1921 Giant Yankee series.

OGLETHORPE NEXT OPPONENTTOPLAY PRAYIN COLONIES
Centre Eleven Gets Down To Real Work For
 Coming

DANVILLE, Ky, Oct 17.--(Spe- cial. )-The Center college. eleven got down to real work following the light practice and skull practice held Mon day afternoon. The showing of the Colonels in the Clemson game Satur- day, while greatly improved over that against the Carson Newman eleven two weeks ago, it still left much to be desired in the way of perfect defense. It is the defense that Moran is planning to brush up before the coming contest with the Oglethorpe eleven here Saturday aft ernoon, October 20, which will be the last game before the Colonels go to Philadelphia to play the Pennsyl- vania team, which has taken the place occupied during the last three years by Harvard
 The work of Covington, considered one of the best quarterbacks in America last season, was one of the outstanding features of the Clemson battle. The Mayfield Flash, as he is known here in Kentucky, gained con sistently all through the afternoons oning came 1t was found that the 155 pound Centre speed marvel had crossed the little chalk marks for a total gain of 353 yards.
 The passing attack of the Colonels bids fair to be one of the best seen III DlAlS since the QdyS when the famous "Bo" McMillin was at the helm of the Praying Co1onels.
 Saturday against the Clemson Tig- CTS the Centre college athletes com pleted six passes for the total yard age of 134. At one time the Centre eleven, standing on their own five yard, elected to try to make first down rather than to punt out of dan ger Covington standing behind his own goal line passed 20 yards to Lemon, who then made 19 more. From there theNColonels carried the ball straight down the field and across the opponents goal line.
 The Yellow Jersied warriors are not going to lose a game on a south ern gridiron if it is possible for it to be prevented, and from the way the Praying Colonels" are going at the present time it will take a very strong eleven to head them off in their dash toward tue southern cham pionship Auburn is the one team outside of the University of Ken lucky that the Centre squad would rather defeat than any other, It will be remembered that it was the An burn team that blocked a punt from the boot of Red" Roberts and won the game to 0.

FOREIGN DEBTS
TO U. S. ST AY
Coolidge Is Not in Favor of
Cancellation Plan

Washington, Oct. 6.-President
Coolidge, is unalterably opposed to
the cancellation by the United States
of the debt owed it by the European
countries, it was said at the White
House. =
The presidents views on cancella-
tion were reiterated when his atten-
.tion was called to reports of state
ment that Walter w. Head, of Oma-
ha, newly elected president Of the
American Bankers Association, had
urged cancellation. Mr.. Head, later,
however, denied the authenticity Of
the remarks attributed to him.
The president feels that the Unit
ed States should not unduly press
any of it's debtors and should be Ii
beral in the settlement it makes. An
instance Of the desire to be liberal
is contained, in the presidents opin-
ion, in the settlement reached with
Great Britain which from q strict
mathematical viewpoint was a releas-
ing of Great Britain from . portion
Of its obligation. Debt questions are
in the hands Of funding commission
created by act Of congress and the
position Of Mr.. Coolidge is that the
United States may only make settle
ment within the terms of the act.

GASOLINE TAX
LICENSE BOOST,
FOR N. D. ROADS
State Engineer Black, at
Devils Lake Meeting, Urges
Means to Raise Cash

State Engineer W. G; Black favors
a gasoline tax and an increase in au-
tom obile registration fees in North
Dakota to provide funds for building
a system of state trunk highways.
Mr.. Black made known his ideas At
a good roads meeting held in Devils
Lake Tuesday.
The state engineer proposed an in
crease in automobile license fees to
about double the present scale, with
a .$12. annual minimum license fee.
He also urged change from the
present state law which decr6ases
the automobil license fee rs the
age of the car increases, asserting
that car two years old will be run
on the roads as much as a new car.
About 100000 is collected annual
ly in motor vehicle fees. OF this
amount $15O,OOO is used to meet
overhead expenses of the highway
commission and motor vehicle de-
partment, he said, while $4,000 goes
to build bridges and the remaining
$42O,000 is pro rated among the
counties.
With an increased registration fee
and an increased automobile license
fee the state could build trunk high
ways without asking county partici-
patton, he said.

mas tangled skein Of political chaos
assumed further complications today
as members of the state legislature
continued preparations for their
second attempt to convene in extra

sion on Oct. II in response to call by
w. D McBee of Steffens county head
ing more than a majority Of the low

last night focused on the executive
mansion with the expectation that
Governor Walton would define his
attitude toward the meeting.
In the absence of an official state
ment doubt was expressed in some
quarters that the governor would
adopt the military measures by
which he prevented the lawmakers
from meeting at their own call on
September 26.
Meanwhile q new element entered
the situation with the announcement
by q group Of women that they will
join forces Of Governor Walton in

from meeting under constitutional
