American railroads have about

years there was a shrinkage of over
4C00 miles. With the country
growing, railroads should he extend

TORNADO BEATS
 SHADES-CAHABA
Junior Partners Score Three TOuchdOwns Beat MOuntaineers

Simpsons Tornado blew strong in the mountain climate at Shades Cahaba Friday afternoon, the Junior Panthers were returned victors bly, the count of IS to 0. A fumbled kickoff which Vim cent recovered and converted into a touchdown, long jaunt by Lott for 80 yards for score and plunging at- tack for third touchdown gave Simp- son the victory, with the Mountaineers staging a terrific fight in the face of the attack of their opponents.
 On the first kickoff, Shades-Ca- haba back fumbled and Albert Vincent picked the pigskin up on the 10 yards and crossed the last chalk line for the first counter. Following this, the Panthers and Mountaineers through two hard-fought quarters without an- other score being registered.
 In the third quarter, the Simpson clan started a drive down the field. A penalty for holding gave them the ball on the 15-yard marker, and two bucks sent the ball across. Johnson plunged first and then Roberts plowed the remainder of the way for the score.
 On the first play in the fourth quar- ter, Lott was called back from end and given the ball. The speedy little wingman circled Cahaba's flank and ambled down the field for an 80-yard dash and crossed the line for the last counter. The Mountaineers opened up a forward pass attack which threat ened the Simpson goal line as the game neared the close, but their rally had started too late.

MANDELL WINS
 OVER BERNSTEIN
Western Boy Fights Rugged
 Battle With Yonkers Battler

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Sammy Man dell of Rockford, H., won the decision from Jack Bernstein of Yonkers, to- night after a 12-round lightweight t1gnt which kept Madison Square Garden in an. uproar.
 Manden had Bernstein on the verge of disaster when the fight ended from slashing attack, in the last two rounds.
 The flashing speed of the westerner won the first round but Bernstein came back to take the second. The third was even but Bernstein's deter mined rushing carried the fourth. The first break came in the fifth when a wide cut was opened on MandelPs left eye but that did not slow up the battle which found both boys continu- ing their furious pace after the bell in the seventh round. The rugged ag- gressiveness of Bernstein kept him even until the tenth. Mandell opened this session with relentless attack which drove Berntein about the ring but the Yonkers. lad came back with sensa- tional rally that had Wendell on the ropes. They were fighting even at the end of the round.
 Bernstein could not hold the pace in the last two rounds which went to Mandell by a wide margin.
 The battle was the first of an in- formal elimination tournament to pro- vide an opponent for lightweight cham pion Benny Leonard. Bernstein weighed 132 and Mandell, 135.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, .Nov.: 7.- Montgomery has on its best bib and tucker for the annual football game here tomorrow between Tulane and Auburn. The green wave party, 30 strong, ar- rived early today and Coach Shaugh- messy sent his charges through light workout this afternoon. He announced tonight that the Greenies are in the pink of condition for the titular contest at the bowl. The coach realizes that this will be one of his hardest battles for the season.
 Coach Pitts and his Tigers are not expected to arrive until tomorrow morn- ing. A special train bringing at least 500 students will reach the city Satur- day morning. Bands of both schools will be present, it is announced.
 Evenly Matched
 That the two elevens are evenly matched, is the opinion of some of the leading grid experts of the country, who have seen both perform this year. Tu- lane is regarded as the superior on the offense, while the Plainsmen boast of the stronger line and one of the great est defensive combinations in the south.
 In Brown Lautenschlager, brilliant quarterback, and Flournoy, Tulane has trio of great ground gathers. Brown, says Coach Shaughnessy, is good enough for anybody's all-American team. He adds that Flournoy and Lautenschlarger. are not far behind him. Flournoy is one of the south's greatest punters and hits the line with terrific force. He is also said to be a wonderful defensive player.
 Good Game Expected
 A study of comparative scores con- vinces one that one of the classics of Dixie is scheduled for the Capital City tomorrow. While the mighty backs of Tulane have been piling up 115 points to their opponents 46 this season, the Tigers have been, holding their enemies to a much lower score. Statistics show that the Tigers goal line has been crossed but twice this year and they were made by Vanderbilt, who lacked nine first downs of equalling the Tigers record of ground gaining at Nashville.
 More than 500 followers of the Greenies are expected to arrive from New Orleans early tomorrow morning. A special train is being operated from the Crescent City.
 Many Fans Expected
 Scores of football fans from all parts of central and south Alabama are in the city. Every hotel is packed and scores have been turned away today and yesterday.
 As has been shown above there will be no favorites tomorrow. It's an even fight and favorable weather prevails Montgomery should be presented with great gridiron treat.

GRANGE CENTER OF LIMELIGHT Red Has Become Babe Ruth Of Football
 World
By HAROLD ANDREWS (Special Leased Wire to Age-Herald)

/ CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Interest in mid dlewestern football has centered almost completely about the personality and playing of Harold Red" Grange, the gridiron Gargantuan, whose name IS being writ" in touchdowns at the Uni versity of Illinois.
 Grange is occuping the place in foot. ball that Babe" Ruth occupies in the realm of baseball, and the inspired ex- perts are referring to him placidly as the King of Smash"
 All of which is why the tickets have been sold for Harold's next appearances which will be. Saturday against the University of Chicago on the Stagg field. Where Red" is, the crowd is, whether there is any doubt about the result or not.
 So great is the fame of Red" that Chicago coaches have begun to refer to themselves as the under dog" and are needing each night of practice with a prayer for the favors of the tickle goddess chance.
 We've got an under dogs chance" explained a scout for the maroons after watching Red" tackle the dummy. Well need the breaks, all of them. The trouble with the Illinois team is that it hasn't any weak spots. As for Grange-you can't tackle a man you can't catch. But as I say, we've got the under dogs chance and fighting under dog always has a chance"
 Much interest is being exhibited in the game scheduled for Saturday be- tween Northwestern and Michigan, which will be played at Ann Arbor, as Pupil" affairs. Thistlethawite of North wetsern taught the captain of the Mich igan team the rudiments of football back in the latters high school days. Besides this several of Thistlethwaite's coaches were trained at Michigan under Yost.
 Ohio State is making strenuous at- tempts to restore its old time punch for the game with Indiana at Columbus. The teams are about evenly matched. Wisconsin will meet Notre Dame. Iowa will play Butler. Purdue will meet De pauw and Minnesota will play Iowa State college at Ames, Iowa.

MINOR DEFEATS
 UNIVERSITY HI
Gale, Shedd And McNally Stars
 Of 13-O Win

Minor High won from University Friday afternoon by the count of 13 to 0, couple of forward passes, after the Gamecocks' line had held, being re- sponsible1 for the duo of touchdowns which John Thompson's clan rang up.
 The battle was hard fought from start to finish, with the ball see-sawing up and down the field during the major portion of the struggle. University recovered a fumbled punt early in the game and threatened the Minor goal line, but were held for downs and Me Coy's attempt from placement was low. Minor then got the ball on the 20-yard line when Grabin punted out of bounds at this point, and were able to puncture the Gamecocks' defense for a touch down. After being stopped, Shedd tossed to Handley to score the coun- ter, and tAen failed to kick goal.
 Minor started the second half strong and marched down the field on line plays. Again the Gamecocks halted their offensive, but again Shedd sent a spiral to Handley for another touch down. He then kicked for the extra point.
 University made their most serious threat as the fourth quarter opened. Their running attack carried them to the 10-yard line, but two penalties for off-side were followed by grounded pass behind the goal line.
 Shedd and Gale were the big stars for Minor. Shedd's offensive work was great, while Gales backing up of the Minor line stood out. Busby McNally was the individual star for University. This lad, playing tackle, broke through end was the most serious obstacle to the path of the Minor backs.

OgIethorpe

A grimly battling Bulldog will turn slashing teeth to the rushes of a stormy Petrel Saturday afternoon at Redwood park. Upon the crushing force of Bull dog teeth or the Tightening swoops of the Petrel will depend the outcome, as Howard meets Oglethorpe at Redwood Saturday afternoon.
 The Bulldog-Petrel game, the fourth home appearance of the Howard eleven this season, will begin at 2 80 o'clock, and will be the final opportunity of fandom to witness the East Lakers in action before the big game of the sea son two weeks hence-Howard versus Birmingham-Southern.
 Much Interest
 More than ordinary interest is being attached to the Howard game against Oglethorpe, as the fact has been nosed about quite freely that the East Lakers are resolved to present a changed ap- pearance to the home town folks. Last weekend, Howard lost to Spring Hill in game that ordinarily would have gone to Howard by two or three touch- downs. Coaches Gillen and Sessions have been advocating a fighting spirit more than any other one thing during the past week at Berry field, and fan dom will be watching as the game ad- vances, to see if the traditional fight ing spirit is carried in battle by this years Howard eleven.
 In Oglethorpe fandom will see one of the leading teams in the s. I. A. A., an eleven highly touted to win the title. Upon the outcome of the Oglethorpe- Mercer game later on will probably de- pend that title, and Saturday afternoon potential championship eleven will be seen in action.

MILES LOSES TO
 DELTA SKATERS

The Mississippi institute, negro eleven, defeated Miles Memorial school Friday afternoon at Redwood field by the score of 21 to z. The Mississippi team displayed some classy football and outclassed the local eleven by their end running. Pope, quarterback for the Delta State squad, showed flashy pair of heels to his Alabama opponents on end runs and scored one of the touch- downs. Mccall went around left end for another in the first quarter and Cobb scored the third one for Mississippi. Brown kicked all goals after touch down.
 For the Miles team Jackson, fullback, was the offensive start, but the passing of Weems stood out. He hurled 45- yard pass to Langford and threw an- other for 25-yards to Peterson who ran it over the goal for the local eleven's counter.
