HOWARD TO HAVE BIG DAY NOV. 24
Will Be Home Coming Day For Alumni For Big
 Game

It was decided that Wednesday,, November 24, would be designated as Homecoming Day" for members of the Howard alumni all over the coun- try The alumni association of Bir- mingham- Southern college took the same action, and the meeting of Panthers and Bulldogs on the grid iron November 24 is now assured to develop into the biggest day the two schools have ever seen.
 With homecoming day being cele brated by each alumni with the Marne of footbalr' on the card, and with interest higher than at any time since the two schools have been stag ing their annual classic, the biggest crowd that ever saw the two ancient rivals battle is now forecast by all the wiseacres. Committees in charge of the game are making their plans to accommodate a crowd well over the 10000 mark.
 If the Bulldogs and Partners don't play to the biggest crowd in the history of their athletic relations, will be a badly fooled man." said pr. J. A. Ward Wednesday in dis cussing the pigskin bout, which is well over week away. 'Birming- ham has always turned out to see these two teams play ever since they proved to the football going public that they were furnishing more thrills per square inch than any two teams combating here during foot ball season. It has always been a close, hard, tossup fight between the two teams and I look for the affair to evolve into the same sort of hec- tic scrap this year. No wonder they're calling it the Marne of foot ball. Just dig up back files of the press and see how closely these teams have stacked up for the past few years; see how many ties they have played and the small difference in any of their final results, and you will see why the people of Birming- ham have learned to look forward to this scrap"

AUBURN TIGERS TO| PLAY GREEN WAVE|
Tulane To Bring Strong Team To Montgomery To Play
 PIainSmen

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 7.-(Special) The Auburn Tigers will meet the Green Wave of Tulane university in their, seventh game of the 1923 sea son Saturday afternoon at Cramton Bowl. Montgomery, Ala. The Green. ies will get under way on the sixth number of their present campaign, The principals of the weekend Cramton Bowl classic have no played a common foe this season and no comparison of the strength of the two elevens can be arrived at by comparing scores from this angle.
 From the present seasons results Auburn has won three games, tied one and lost two, while the Crescent City Green Wave eleven has lost three games and won two. Auburn has counted 90 points while op- ponents have totalled 35. The Lou isanians have a total score of 4t points while their adversaries have accumplated 67 counters. This show ing by the bayou state eleven does| not detract from their strength iu the least when the trio of worth ops ponents where reversals were record ed is considered. In the games with such teams as the University otI I metal of any southern team would be given the acid test and should the Plainsmen undertake their Saturdays task with the past scores of the Tus lane games as a basis of their ef- forts they are liable to be the res cipients of little surprise before| the final whistle. The results of thet games played this season by the con< tending elevens of Saturdays consl flict is as follows:
 Auburn O, Clemson o.
 Auburn 20, Birmingham Souths ern 0.

JUNIOR COLONIES. HAVE TWO GAMES.
WoodIaWn Hi To Play Cal houn And Coffe Teams
 Here This Week

The Woodlawn Junior Colonels were put through stiff signal drill and scrimmage Wednesday afternoon in preparation for the two. games this week. On Friday afternoon the Junior Colonels meet Calhoun High on Berry field and Saturday after noon they play Coffee High of Flor ence at Redwood field. The Wood lawn aggre gation are essaying tough task in taking on two teams of the calibre of Calhoun and Coffee on succeeding days and the task will be made much harder by the fact that two of the stars of the Woodlawn team will be on the side line
 Tom Jones, star tackle, and Mitchell Burns, husky halfback, will be out of the game. Burns received such rough treatment in the game with the Alabama Reserves at Rick wood field a week ago that he has been in bed ever since. Jones was also hurt in the game and neither will be able to play either Friday or Saturday. This will weaken the team considerably as Jones was a tower of strength in the line while in the backfield Burns was a strong defensive man as well as offensive. His work at backing up the line stopped many Alabama rusfts in the game last week.
 The absence of these two men will necessitate the shifting of the lineup The probable lineup for the game Friday will be Maxwell left end; Hawthorne, left tackle; English, left guard; Allen, center; Clark, right guard; James right tackle: Chandler, right end Bancroft quarterback Nunnally, left halfback; Poe, right halfback; Moore, fullback.
 This combination has a good sprin- kling of stars in it and should pre- sent strong offense, as well as de- fense. Maxwell, diminutive end, has been showing up well in recent prac- tice and has earned a right to start at flank. This will put Sentell on the bench.
 Coaches Hood and Kelly have their men in good shape with the exception of the cripples and will put up q strong battle Friday.

SPRING HILL AND STRIBLING TO BE
 MARION TO PLAY GIVEN A LICENSE

NEW YORK, Nov. 7-Young Strib- ling, Georgia school boy boxer, will be granted license to box in New York, it was said today after the southerner. accompanied by his father, filed formal application with the state athletic commission.
 The commission however, probably will take no action on the applica- ton for few days. Stribling is only IS and under the commission ruling no boxer under 21 can engage in a match longer than six rounds. How ever, the commission may waive this rule in Stribling's case, although he may first be asked to box in a pre- liminary contest to demonstrate that he is physically able to go longer distance. Stribling was expected to be examined for this purpose today, but at the commissions office, it was said, nothing had been done.
 Tex Rickard is understood to be ready to match Stribling ith Johnny Wilson of Boston, former middle weight champion, or to sign the Geor- gia youth to substitute for either Mike McTigue or Gene Tunney in case either of the latter is unable to go through with their worlds light heavyweight title bout scheduled December 10. The promoters plans are being held up. however, pending the commissions action.

Many Games Scheduled For Cramton Bowl During
 Rest Of Season

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 7... Special. 1.-The November schedule of major grid contests for Cram ton Bowl opens up on Friday, No vember g, when the fast Spring Hill college eleven clashes with the Ma rion Institute cadet team. Both teams have been priming themselves for the battle for the past several weeks and enter the game in the peak O. condition. They are evenly matched and local grid fans are ex- pecting one of the most exciting games to be seen in Cramton Bowl this season when the two aggrega- tions line up for play on Friday.
 The day following the Spring Hill- Marion game, Coach Pitts of the Au- burn Plainsmen, will lead his eleven against the Greenies from Tulane in their annual contest at Cramton Bowl. Although making 15 first downs to Georgia's in their games in Columbus last Saturday the Orange and Blue team lost to the Georgia Bulldogs by one touchdown. break against the Plainsmen in the second quarter. It is the opinion of Auburn supporters everywhere that the 1923 Plainsmen eleven, under the tutelage of Coach Pitts is one of the most versatile, best codcHeu ana cIeNerSSt STlu dBSreSa- tions ever to represent Auburn on the gridiron. Following the game last Saturday. they were rated two touchdowns better than the Georgia team which defeated them by a fluked touchdown on a water-soaked field.
 The Greenies from Tulane have been growing into a stronger grid organization ever since their first practice in October. Although de- feated by the strong Tennessee team last Saturday, it was asserted by sport writers the wet condition of the field handicapped the Tulane team considerably and was partly responsible for their defeat How ever the outcome of the past two Saturdays play, fans are assured an exciting, hard fought game.

This is ex- pected to be bitterly contested game, with both teams having made such a creditable showing.
 Dope on this game is bit confus- ing. Enterprise has taken Florala into camp this season, while the Lake City outfit trimmed the Bulldog ma chine by a touchdown. On the other hand, AndalEsia sutdued the Troy Normal team. and the latter in turn tied Enterprise.
 Information enianates from both camps that each is prepared to put up a strong team as this game will be a deciding factor in the championship racA of 1928,
