LUQUE IS HAILED 'RAMA CAGE TEAM AS CUBA'S PRIDE WILL BEGIN WORK
Great National League Pitcher Is Here In Native

HAVANA, Nov. 13.-(By Associated Press, )-Adolfo Luque, premier twirler of the National league, is for the time the symbol of Cuba's na tional pride and the idol of the small boy; the big girl and in fact almost everybody
 Cuba, or at least that part around Havana. loves baseball and on after moons and all day Sundays the year round there is hardly a vacant lot without it's improvised diamond, in addition to the well appointed park S of the i-professional and anna teur leagues. The Cincinnati aces career was followed last summer by hundreds of fans who stood around score boards or harried the news papers for telephonic information.
 When the Cuban twirler returned home, the army and the navy, al most every civic organization and every local baseball association turned out to do honor to 'El Ha- bano Perfecto''-The Perfect Ha- Vanan.
 He was made manager of the Ha- vana baseball team and crowds al- most mobbed the ball park when he was expected to pitch; sporting ed itors contested to see who ~could print most about him; the "Luuue Tie" and other articles appeared in store windows and the comic week lies began to show his face almost as frequently as they did those of President Zayas, Ambassador Crowder or ''Liborio," the Cuban Uncle Sam.
 And Luque along with Liborio oc- cupies place that the head of the republic and the American ambassa- dor can not always command, for no cartoonist dares make a jibe at him In fact Luque usually has a back ground of envious small boys and admiring young ladies in his car toOnS.

PRAYIN COLONIES GETTING IN SHAPE
Team Expected To Be In Best Condition For Au-
 burn Game

DANV1LLE, Ky, Nov. 13.-(Spe- al.)--With the majority of the Cen tre college men in the best condition they have been in this year the play of the "Prayin' Colonels" is rapidly nearing the perfection so sought for by Uncle Charlie Moran, head coach. Rabenstein is in condition for the first time this season. and nay break into the lineup against the Auburn Plainsmen in the absence of Coving- ton, who has been given a short rest following his strenuous game against Sewanee last Saturday,
 This former member of the fresh man eleven of last year ran the Colonel machine to perfection and got off a number of passes to the qualification of the coaches. Little chance is being taken of any of the linemen being injured before the coming game and while the team was scrimmaging for a short time they were not pushed to the limit. Chinn. who has been playing an excellent game this fall is looked upon to stop some of the rushes ofthe Auburn backs, while Gordy will be counted upon to take care of his si/s of the line, and Captain Kubale nis sure to stop any attempted gain over the center of the line. Nothing is being left undone to prevent repetition of the disaster of last year, when the Plainsmen stopped a punt from the toe of Red Roberts and converted 1t into a touchdown, winning the game.

First Practice Of Year For Crimson Quintet Ex-
 pected In Few Days

UNIVERSITY Ala, Nov. 13, (-(Spe- eial) )--Within the next few days, practice of candidates for the Grim son five at Alabama will start Prac- tice may be had at night until the end of the football season so as to enable MacCartee, MeClintock, Propst, Hud-. son and other basketball men now on the football squad to get in with the other candidates.
 The Capstone quintet will make a Christmas trip this year, although it of the country the trip will carry the men. Coach Wade stated that d short excursion around the country was being planned, and that three different routes were being worked on. Last year the Crimsons went down to Mobile, across the bay to New Orleans and Meridian, Miss, during the holidays.
 None but a tentative schedule for the varsity has been worked out this year. It is doubtful whether Alabama will have as many games to play as they did last year, while the teams to be played will rank with the best in Dixie. It is understood that games with Mercer, Vanderbilt. Ole Miss, Athletic club. Atlanta Athletic club, Georgia Tech. Sewanee, Chattanooga, Tulane and other Dixie schools are being negotiated for.
 Good Prospects.
 Alabama has a wonderful team in prospect for this year. Lennie Carter, one of the best tip-off men in Dixie, will lead the five, while he will have his last years forwards and three reserves to start the season with. The letter men on hand, besides Carter. are MeCauly, Stabler. Propst, Mac Cartee and McClintock. The last three men served their first year in a cage outfit last year, while this is Stabler' S third and McGauly's fourth at the | Capstone.
 It will soon be time for Capstone students to be crowding the gym floor every day to watch the Cap daily dozen, and it will not be many days before the gym will hear the swishing of cage Dattlers against leach other. Three 'Bama cage out fits will be in action this year-a varsity, freshman and co-ed.
 The co-ed sextet is in pretty bad shape due to the loss of trio of tstars in Misses Strebile, Wright and HaIpmett However they have vir- tually all their reserves from last year and have Misses Nuckols, Fitts, Donovan, Storrs and others who pioS Su III must ol thS BdHtSS. A SCHcu- ule for the Crimsonettes is being ar ranged with different girl teams. As to the freshmen, very little has been heard about their cage prospects but Rama has quite q number of youngsters who starred on the courts of several high and prep schools last year. Kaminksy, Estes and a little Stabler are three of the best known freshman basketball players at | 'Bama.
 The varsity will be reinforced quite bit by the graduated freshmen, Hudson is expected to put up.a hard fight for guard position. Cohen and Anderson, forwards on the "rat' team last year, will not trouble McCauly and Stabler. Neither will Wharton trouble Carter. But 1t is at the two guard positions that men will have to be trained in order to have the Crim- son cage outfit very strong this year.

FAYETTE WILL BE READY FOR JASPER
Hammer Is Out Of Game But KiIlingsWorth Is Work
 ing Well

FAYETTE, Ala, Now 1s-(Spe- cial,)-The Fayette county high football team will leave Friday morn- ing at [ o'clock for Jasper where of Walker in game that promises to be of interest. Coach Charlie Scott is working his charge this week trying hard to get them in con- dition for the Jasper high game. Hard luck has camped on the trail of the locals this season. The first victim to fall was Mayfield, in a game with Hueytown, with broken arm which disqualifies him for the season, he was playing his last year at guard, and would have made a strong contender for state honors.
 Capt. Dick Hammer, star quarter back, who made all state last sea son, sustained broken collarbone two weeks ago. displaces him for this season. His loss can not be supplied. Coach Scott had built every play around him. However, there is one hope for Fayette. in the directing of the teams play on the field Friday, it is in Killingswo who since Hammer has been out of the game, has been playing quarter in a stellar fashion. Ki1lingswor shows great promise and may fill the shoes of Hammer without weakening the team.
 Eyer and Griffin will probably StdTL the game IGludy dl udlNcS WltH Brock at fullback. All three of these men have been going good in practices eand will be in good shape for the game. J. Branyon and Jeff ferries will probably be the starting ends with Richardson and Faeier at tackles. Brown will start at the pivot position and will be flanked by Wright and Branyon.
 The Fayette eleven has lost but one game this year. The strong Howard college scrubs won g to 0 victory over them by force of three drop-kicks. In the season opening the Fayette eleven downed the Bir- mingham- Southern reserves 20 to 6. Jones Valley was defeated IS to 0, while the strong Hueytown team was defeated 34 to 6. Vernon fell by the count of IS to 6, but Guin played the locals to a scoreless tie. The next team, Suligent, was beaten 3S to while Berry tied the Fayette team, 20 to 20.
 The game Frida.- comes as a continuation of efforts extending over the past four years to get the two schools to meet on the gridiron and will attract hundreds of fans in this section of the state, sf

To Be In Good Shape For
 Bout At Club Monday

Johnny McGinty. the battling Pratt City Irishman, is putting in his most careful week. of training preparing for his big chance in the squared arena. Battling Kelly Is, working more vigorously than ever to whip into top form, this week also for he too will have an important engage ment. Each has an engagement with the other on. Monday. night. and. they meet in the Birmingham Athletic club ring.
 McGinty has the problem in front of him of showing the fans that he deserved to win Monday night a week ago at the Athletic club, when his bout was called a draw after he had tie. Kelly, on the other hand, has to show that he is the better man, as he was thought to be before fight ing McGinty last week, of the two.
 The battle will be grudge affair. McGinty had long waited for a crack at Kelly and when he got it last week he made the best of it. His showing was so good and the fans liked the bout so well that Match maker Dave Evans, at the suggestion of many of the fans that witnessed the bout, matched the two sluggers for main bout card and the fracas Monday night will go 10 rounds.
 On the same card Petey Sarron will get a crack at a man he has long waited to pitch into. Young Battling Kelly, protege of the Battler, will be pitted against the dimunitive Boys club slugger in, four-round bout.
 Paul. McGinty and Earl Caddocl1 will battle through a four-round melee on the preliminary card. These two are hefty sluggers and when they mix it in the ring there is al- ways good fight resulting. Big Boy Edwards of the Boys, club, is scheduled for the semifinal bout with Harry Carter of Atlanta. Both are battlers of the slugging type and will put up a good bout.
 Holland Arnold and Joe Russo will tie up in a four-round bout that should be a fast one.

.MOCCASINS NEXT FOE FOR BULLDOGS
Game To Be Played Saturday In Chattanooga,
 Tenn. @

The BulIodgs are working hard this week on Berry Field in preparation for the game Saturday at Chattanooga with the strong Moecasin eleven. This battle is expected to be one of the toughest that the Bulldogs have played and coming just before the annual scrap with Birmingham Southern. it is inopportune for the East Lake warriors.
 Coach Cope, who saw the Moccasins battle the Birming ngham-Southern eleven in Gadsden last Friday, send Magic City beaten 19 to 0, was inn pressed with the passing game of the Chattanooga outfit Out of between l5 and 20 passes thrown by the Moe casin backs in this gne only two or three went stray or were grounded. The machine like ability of the Look out City backs and ends to work the aerial game has started the Howard coaches to concentrating their atten- tion this week on defensive play for passes.
 The style of pass used by Chatta- nooga is one of the hardest to break up as 1t is a short pass, from 10 to 20 yards, but the chances favor 1t to go true with the system used by the Moccasins.
 The style of defense that the locals will be forced to use again at the Moccasins may change the personnel of the backfield a little. However, all the backfield men came through the Jacksonville game physically fit and will be ready to start the game Sat urday.
 The Bulldog victory over the Nor nal school eleven was source of much encoura gement for the support CTS of the Crimson eleven. The team has been making good showing in all their games but their 27 to victory over Jacksonville Saturday shows more clearly than in any pre- yious game their ranking with the Birmingham Southern Panther.
 The Jacksonville team outplayed the Birmingham- Southern. at Rick wood Field earlier in the year and held them to & GO tie. The Bulldogs completely outclassed them Saturday at Anniston although they had to fight for every yard of ground gained. The Jacksonville line was holding firmly but the plunging backs man aged to reel off gains through 1t.
 However, the style of attack that will be used against the Chatta-- nooga team will consist largely of straight football. During the latter half of the game the Panther backs were able to rip off gains through the line at Gadsden Friday and the line will be one of the points Of at tack for the Bulldogs.
 All varsity men were in the game Saturday at Anniston with the ex ception of Hobby Stubbs but some of them were not in the best of condi- tion, An additional amount of effort will be made this week to round the entire squad into shape for the Chat tanooga game and finally the Bir- mingham Southern game. Stubbs is expected to be back into the lineup Saturday and fill but the positions with all varsity men.
 hard scrimmage was staged Tues day afternoon and Wednesday after noon will also see another hard prac- tice affair on the Bulldog field. The team will leave Friday night for the crsaft
