SKI WILL MEET
 CREE FOR FIGHT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Battling Ski, the eminent lion tanner from Senegal, probably will be given a chance presently to see what he can do with a native American bearcat. Harry Greb, the meat-eating pussy from Pittsburg, has been offered one match in Madison Square Garden with Ski, and if he doesn't like the atmosphere of the garden, 12- rounder to no decision in Newark, N. J,
 Greb registered slight interest, but great respect for Ski, but if the per centage is made high enough his manager may decide to let him try his claws on the sooty Senegalese.
 Siki has been offered opportunities to be poked In the eye by local bull lies in various parts of the country since he withstood Is rounds of abuse from Kid Norfolk Tuesday night.

EXPERTS BELIEVE RACE IMPOSSIBLE
Cohn Says Americans Will Not Send Horses
 Across

PARIS, Nov. 22-The opinions of other leading experts of the plan for an international race at Long champs next May to decide the champion running horse of the breeding of 1920, are printed today by the racing paper, Paris Sport:
 Jefferson D. Cohn, owner of Sir Galahad and Checkmate, two or the possible competitors, believes such a match would be most difficult to arrange, first because the Ameri- cans would not come."
 "The Americans" he said, Hike to compete when they have the best chance of winning, which is not the case in such a race, necessitating a voyage and in which a horse ought to have six months for acclimation. Can you name a single American crack which would come to Europe and compete with the best English and French horses?"
 William Barker, trainer of the winner of the Jockey club prize, and Henry Count, who trained this years winner of the grand priX, give the identical replies: An excel lent idea. It would be the finest race in the world"
 Neither objects to the proposed date but both are convinced that 2,40O meters would be the most suitable distance. They favor two repre- sentatiVes for each country and se- lection by elimination test between the winners of the classic events for 2 and year olds.

IN MEMORIAM TO MEET ZEV AGAIN

CINCINNATI, Nov. 22.-In Memo riam, the Kentucky bred colt that beat Zev once this year and won camera verdict over him. but lost the purse on the judges decision in a second meeting last Saturday, has broken training, but will try to get fit for a third and conclusive race to be run after Thanksgiving.
 Carl Weideman, owner of In Me morlain, made this announcement Thursday when informed that the management of the Bowie, Md, racing plant wished to match Zev and In Memorlam. with possibly third starter, to decide the three year-old championship beyond dis pute. Since the retirement of My own after his poor race at Bowie Tuesday the championship rests be- tween Zev and In Memoriam.
 Weideman thought that Bob Gill more, trainer of his colt, had dis continued In Memoriam's strict training. In that case, he said, it would be impossible to accept a race with Zev until November 2S or 30.

SEWANEE 'FROSHS'
 WILL PLAY MANDY
Tiger Rats Won From Com modore Freshmen last
 L9lIenD lSg7 LII Ie9A

sEWANEE, Tenn, Nov. 22.-(spe- cial.)-Sewanee freshman team meets the Vandy freshmen in. the stadium at Nashville on Saturday, November 24, as preliminary to the contest between their big brothers on Thanksgiving Day.
 It will be remembered that last year, when the freshman teams met for the first time, Vandy had the lead until the last few minutes, when the Tiger freshmen, by some great forward passing, pulled the bacon out of the fire just before it was burned. This year the Tigers will try to duplicate last years victory, and while they are saying nothing and saving wood, the Purple follow CTS believe there Is an opportunity for the Tiger freshmen to come through.
 The record of the Tiger freshmen say without a doubt that they have a great team, and one that will stack up with any freshman team in the southern territory. The games that have been played this year, with the scores, are as follows:
 sewanee freshmen 3, Bryson col lege Q.
 freshmen 0.
 Sewanee freshmen 14, Tennessee Polytechnic institute 6. Sewanee freshmen z, Tennessee State Normal 0.
 sewanee freshmen 2s, Centre fresh men 0.
 sewanee freshmen 14, St. Andrews school 0.
 If the Tiger frosh win from the Vandy first year men, then it would seem that they have as good a claim to the freshman championship of the south as any team in this section. If they lose, then the beans are spilled, and there is nothing more to be said.
 Coach Harry Clark has developed from the comparatively small squad he had to work with, a well oiled working in tiptop shape, has at times developed a drive that could not be stopped The Centre freshmen tried valiantly to stem the Tiger rushes, but without avail and were never in danger of scoring on the Tigers.
 Not often during the season has the frosh goal line been in danger, and when 1t has, the defense has stiffened and defeated every attempt to rush the ball over or to score in any other way.
 The second year under the fresh man rule has been very satisfactory to Sewanee in many ways, and even those who were it's most bitter op- ponents last year are beginning to see the error of their ways, and would not change back to the old or der of things.
 The Tiger freshmen will present a line in the Vandy game that will average some 160 pounds to the man, and a backfield averaging. about the same, big Helvey, the 200-pound full back bringing up the average.

SIMPSON TO PLAY WILDCATS FRIDAY
Expect Good Game At BoyIeS When Teams Meet At
 3 O'Clock

The Simpson Purple Tornado will meet the Wildcat from Jeffcohi in the Wildcats field at Boyles Friday afternoon at 0 clock.
 The teams are almost equally matched with the dope giving the team from Simpson a slight edge in the prospects for the afternoon, comparative score being close enough to promise hard fight The game will be witnessed by large number of students from each school.
 Coaches de Yampert and Neese have both been giving their men light afternoons of work as the week draws to a close
 The Wildcats will present a husky line to stop the rushes of Slick" Vincent, star haifback on the Tech sters team. Vincent showed himself to be one of the best charges in Alabama prepdom during the past few games of the season and the de- fense of the Wildcats will be largely aimed at stopping his advances.
 Simpson will also have good line which will be better than at any other time during the season and it will be 14 we'll matched forwards who will form the advance guard in the clashes this afternoon.
 The Wildcat backfield will be crip- pied by the loss of Weed, star half, who was injured in the St. Bernard game and will be kept out of the game this afternoon, and Taylor who will be handicapped at quarter by a bad arm. McCulloch, although not in the best of condition, will start the game at full, Barton, Marsh and Captain Dismukes, in the line, will be counted upon heavily.
 McLane and Roberts are expected to follow Vincent in his good work for the Techsters in the backfield, while the playing of "Romoe" Stearnes,. Cunningham and McGinty will probably prove the mainstay of the Purple and Gold line. Milking, at end, has also been doing some good work this season and should make himself known in the encoun- ,in

 Red" Farr's hair aint really hennaed. Neither is Red" Richard sons. Both these men should be with Howard so their heads would blend in with the colors of blue and red. Dr. J. A. Ward hasn't slept for two nights. He won't sleep for two weeks if Howard loses. Dobbins, assistant coach at Howard, is responsible for that impenetrable line. Dobbins has been coaching it like sin all year. Those Bulldogs would never hear the last of it from Dobbins if they let the Panther offense seep through.

SCALPERS MOP UP FLORIDA MAKING ON CADET TICKETS READY FOR 'BAMA
Prices Hoisted High For Annual Army-Navy
 Game

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Ticket spectators are mopping up along Broadway as the regiment of mid shipmen and the West Point Cadets fall into step for the descent on New York to attend the renewal of their strife on the gridiron of the Polo Grounds Saturday afternoon.
 Only 22 of the theatres have failed to advance their box office prices, all others having hoisted the rates by s1 or s2 on every ticket for Satur- day night To these advanced prices the scalpers have added liberal prof it's, rated according to the popular ity of the attractions.
 Nor have they neglected those at fractions whose box office rates re- mained the same for the night. of the service mems big holiday. Tick cts for. these shows have fallen into the speculators' hands and in that manner the prices have been raised along with the others despite the good intentions of the show man. agers.
 Tickets for all manner of diver sions, from the football game itself to high brow lectures on the why not of the what not are being sold at mining camp prices or held back awaiting such prices. The cleanup probably will be as great as that on New Years Eve or a preside tial election night
 Hundreds if not thousands of tick cts for the game have reached the specuiators notwithstanding the an- nual claim of the New York Giants, whose offices are handling the public safes, that scaipers were not allowed to buy at the ticket window. Seats about rlidfield, close to the margin If the gridiron were quoted in one place at s35 pair and other dealers asked $20 each. How the speculators got them Is, as usual, mystery.

SHIFTED LINEUP WILL BE
 USED BY PAINTERS M CAME
'BuIIo' Williams Will Call Signals, While Farr Returns To FuIIback And Miller Will Be Out

Injuries necessitating last minute change in the lineup will cause the Birmingham Southern team to enter the game with the Bulldog Saturday not only with the handicap of having their passer, on whom most of the hopes for the Panther attack were based, out but with quartet of back field men who will be working to- gether in the opening position for the first time of the season.
 "Bullo" Williams will take the starting quarterback position follow ing the injury of Aubrey Miller, star general of the Gold and Black, which will keep him out of the game Sat urday Miller sustained badly strained right shoulder in practice some days ago and has not been out in uniform since, his passing arm be- ing practically useless. As Aubrey was also the punter for the Gold and Black, the Panther will have no man on the field Saturday who can be ex- pected to successfully meet Ham Stevens in the toe duel, which might be expected during the game.
 Williams is playing his first game at quarter, having been used in the halfback position during his two years on the team and was shifted
 
 workouts before the encounter. "Pig" Yeilding substitute quarter, al though light, has been playing some good football during the season and may come in for a good part of the game Saturday afternoon.
 Red Farr has been shifted in the proposed starting lineup from the wing to fullback and Black, thought to be the starting full, will be used with Red" Richardson at half. Black is a new man on the squad but played a stellar game against Chat tanooga and should do some good work Saturday.
 The wearers of the Gold and Black have been holding regular workouts at Redwood during the week and will meet the Crimson clad warriors from East Lake on familiar ground. Light practices and signal work has featured the Panther afternoons since the scrimmage Tuesday.
 Other Men To Be Used.
 June Anderson. John Thompson and Verman Kimbrough are addi- tional backfield men, who may get a chance at the Bulldog this season.
 The shifting of Farr from end to the backfie>d will return those posi- tions to the Candy brothers, who have managed to hold them for the | Capt. "Hoss" Candy and Farr have been suffering from injuries received three weeks ago and, although able to start the encounter. may not be good for the full afternoons work. Captain Gandy's work has long been one of the bright spots in the Panther's performance, and his usual dashing attack and defense will be missed in case he is not able to put it across
 In addition to John Candy. Joe Whiteside, "Nutsey" Malloy and Don ] Fullbright are candidates for the 1 flank positions who may be used in | Saturdays encounter.
 1 Dave Evans, Dad" Howell, Turner Scott and Hard Boy" Calhoun are the four leading candidates for the tackles at the opening of the game.

Game Will Be Played At Redwood On Thanks
 giving Day

GAINESVILLE, Fla, Nov. 22.- Special. )-Florida Fighting Gators are pointing and preparing for their game with the Alabama varsity in Birmingham on Thanksgiving. In laying bare their plans on Fleming Field this week, by which they hope to enhance their standing in the southern conference chase with a neat victory Saturday over the Mis- sissippi Aggies in Jacksonville, the Gators are likewise formulating and building for the Crimson Tide, which conflict follows five days their meet ing with the A. and M. gridders. It will be Florida university's final tilt of 1928. and a win will virtually as- sure them of the s. I. c. grid laurels.
 Early in September. the Alligators were working hard for a winning machine and successful season. They were comparatively unknown until October 6, whenA they so clev- erly baffled the Army for two quar- ters, and finally acknowledged de- feat only after the West Pointers had called into play everything they possessed to count a trio of touch downs. Florida quickly caught the eye of the football world, and the following weekend when she came within an eyelash of defeating Geor- gia Tech on Grant Field, her promi- hence was conspicuous and her pow CT feared.
 Thus far the proteges of Coach Van Fleet have played wonderful ball, in seven games having totaled 150 points to Al registered by the combined opposition. Florida lost to the Army, tied Tech and has de- cisively trimmed Rollins, Mercer, Wake Forest. Southern and Stetson. It has been the greatest football year Florida has known and never, before has she been represented by such an eleven as now roams the environs of Gatortown.
 The Gators are established slight favorites over the Aggies, though hard battle is anticipated. The 'Bama clash is by far the hardest since the Tech and Army games, and rivals in interest and imNrtance more perhaps than the above named tits.
