GIANTS DEFEAT
 WHITE SOX, 3-2

LONDON, Oct, 24.-The New York Giants and the Chicago White SOx, in their second exhibition game in England, today gave several thousand British fans real demonstration of big league baseball. The Giants won a thrilling game, 3 to ?, with a ninth inning rally.
 Among the interested spectators were the Duke and Duchess of York. The son of King George was received by Ambassador Kellogg and introduced to John McGraw, the Giant manager. In addition the duke met the players and insisted on shaking hands with each of them.
 The Giants, playing at their best held on to q slim one run lead until the eighth inning when the SOx drove two runs over the plate. But the ap- parent victors had their seeming trl- umph snatched away by the New York rally when two runs were. scored.
 The Chicago infield made a triple third and Young on first when Meusel hit a bounder to second where Ban croft, after stepping on the bog, threw to first for the second putout. Mean while Frisch, either sleepy or incau- tious, had remained near third and was trapped between there and home.

THREE BIG TILTS
 IN CONFERENCE
Big Ten Battles Expected
 To Narrow Title Race

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-Three critical battles that will narrow the champion. ship race in the western conference will be decided tomorrow with two con ference teams playing outside oppon- ents. The two Hoosier elevens, Pur- due and Indiana, will take day off.
 The trio of games holding conference interest are: Chicago ys. Ohio State at Columbus; Wisconsin Michigan at Ann Arbor and the home coming strug- gle between Minnesota and Iowa City. The Chicago Ohio State clash un- dOubtedly will hold chief interest, al- though the eyes of thousands. of grid iron fans will be, on Michigan to find out whether the Wolverines will enter the game with rekindled spirits anxious to take revenge for their defeat by Hi nois last Saturday.
 The Chicago Ohio State game prom ises to be a question of whether or not the Buckeyes can complete enough of those puzzling forward passes to offset the yardage the Mafoons are expected 10 earn. blowing through the line. The Ohioans remain the only team in the crossed this season. Chicago hasn't had its goal crossed by q conference team. Although Illinois is the ranking favorite for the 1924 conference cham piOnship. the MaroOns see a glimmer of championship light ahead of them in meeting Illinois here November $, and are determined to take no chances of a setback at Columbus tomorrow.

WILSON WINNER
 OF COOPER RACE
Partners Will Have Heavy Track Schedule
 This Fall

The Cooper road race record of 1923 at Birmingham-Souther was smashed Friday afternoon by Floyd Wilson. the fleet-foOted captain of the Panther track squad, when he raced over the three mile Eighth avenue course ia 15 min utes and 3S seconds, coming out ahead of eight other tracksters who were par ticipating in the annual Cooper classic at the local college.
 Second and third places went to John Tate, winner of the 1923 Cooper race, and Oscar Machado, veteran Brazilian runner. Tate made the course in 16 minutes, B seconds. while Mach ado ran it in 17 minutes, IF seconds.
 The six remaining places went to Stevenson, Thompson, Rice. Baswell, Moody and Keener, respectively.
 SOphs Win Cup
 By virtue of their wins yesterday, Wilson and Tate made it possible for the silver loving cup, presented by Mrs. B. A. Cooper of this city, to remain the permanent property of this years sophomore class, since the donor re uuires two successive victories for a class before it receives the cup as per nanent property. The class of 1927 won all three first places in the 1923 lace.
 Individual gold, silver and copper medals will be presented to the three runners coming out ahead in Fridays race, as per the annual custom.
 The track outlook at Birmingham Southern this year is said to be exceed ingly bright, and Coach Riddle declares that he is rounding out a squad of run ners who will do themselves and their college proud before the close of the fall season. Regular workouts are held daily and a large number of stu dent runners heve responded to the track call this season, thus swelling the total to large number. Many of the regulars did not get into the Friday race because of injuries and the season not being far enough advanced.
 Meet Chattanooga
 One of the early races scheduled for the Panther tracksters will be an inter collegiate one, arrangements for them to run against the Chattanooga squad having been recently completed. Fms race will occur between halves at the Birmingham-Southe Chattanooga foot ball game. in the Tennessee city Novem- Der s.
 The University of Alabama track sters will probably be met at Tusca- loosa by the Gold and Black runners next Saturday. This is expected to be hard fought affair, since the two teams always run harder against eacii other, than they do in ordinary races.
 The Panther squad will participate in the Georgia Tech invitation meet at Atlanta, November 15, and win close the fall season with the B. A. c. invitation run on December 6. All these races are expected to be trying ones for the Gold and Black runners, @nnd Coach Riddle intends to put them through stiff wOrR- outs in preparation for these coming meets.-

mingham men are strong behind the team. It was monster affair. with several stirring speeches being made dur ing the evening.
 Big Crowd
 With Auburn and Louisiana State so evenly matched for today's struggle, and with interest in the game rapidly increasing, indications pointed to the largest crowd of the season thus far at Redwood. Every man who was ever interested in Auburn will attempt. to get into the arena to see their former idol, Mike Donahue, with his team of present Tigers in their battle with the Tigers from Auburn of the new regime. The little grid mentor who for 20 years handled the gridiron destinies of the plainsmen has following who hold him in the highest esteem and their respect for him as.,a football coach make them know that Auburn has q great fight in store for them today.
 Officials handling the gates for to- days battle have requested that all pat rOns look carefully at their tickets to see which gate they are due to enter, and present their pasteboards at the proper entry. It will save considerable time and trouble in getting to their seats if they make sure which gate they should enter, and then proceed to find this entrance. All gates are num- bered and should be easily found.
 The officials have called special at- tention to the fact that side line seats will be on sale at entrance gate No. 2, while grandstand seats will be avail able at gate No. 5. No. 5 is the old baseball entrance in front of the park.
 Those holding tickets for section X will enter at gate No. s. which is, To- cated on the south side of the field, the side nearest the A. E. &A. railroad.

Both weodlawn and Phillips are ready for action in the first intracity game of the year to be staged at Rick wood park Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. For. the first time since these two local teams have been meeting, Woodlawn seems to have the slight edge on the CrimsonS especially since Smith, the backbone of the line, is out. How ever, Ike Feigin, h'the fighting Irish man." who will fill Smiths place, did unusually good work in the game against Chattanooga last Saturday and is expected to do just as well today.
 Each team seems to be in perfect con- dition on the eve of the game, with the exception of Jones of Woodlawn, who is suffering minor injury on the leg. The backfieIds of both teams aver age about the same, or WoodIawn might be little heavier.
 Phillips Punting Strong
 Phillips is undoubtedly Woodlawu's superior when it comes to kicking. It may be necessary for "Iied" Guin to use his hefty boot to get Phillips out of q hole. However, it. is true that Burns can do some good kicking him self if necessity calls for it. The Ju- nior Colonels are also counting on Potts" Levvy to strut his stuff in the backfield today. While the Phillips fans are depending on Graylee and Guin.
 Both Coach StillwelI and Coach Robin Hood eased up little on the workouts yesterday so that their teams would be in first class condition for the Bat tlo of the Schoois.' Since Hood is sure that Tom Jones will be in the game it Means Phillips will have stiffer oppo- sition. The coaches have been working

 Both thoroughbreds have been train ing brilliantly since their arrival here, Wise Counsellor scoring his second de- feat over the French champion, Epinard, just a week ago, while Sarazen is still fresh from breaking the track record in the LatOnia stakes.
 The field includes five other tip-top entries, Big Blaze of tlse Glenn Riddle farm; G. w. Cochran's Sun Flag Initiate, owned by H. F. Whitney; A. H. Morris Rustic and. Aga Khan.

this week on the passes, each trying to avoid this weakness in the game. Y Better Teamwork
 The warriors at Woodlawn seem to be working together great deal bet ter than they did short while back. The cutting, charging and interference are improving steadily. However, Cap tain Sanford's men have been up to practically the same tricks. They are doing their best to perfect the interfer- ence against Woodlawn.
 Coach Duck" Stillwell had his crew working out in East park yesterday in stead of Delta View field because of the thick layer of dust. The. dust has been hard on his warriors for the past two weeks and now is almost unbearab1e. Fridays practice was merely a light signal drill with no heavy work.
 Ensley Looks On
 The Ensley fans will be watching this game with almost the same interest that they will watch their own team play in Atlanta, as they are anxious to see just which of their rivals is the stronger. The time is getting close at hand now, when they will meet these two local teams.

 Neither Have Been Beaten
 Neither team has tasted defeat this year and the dope is about on par. The Louisiana eleven is expecting the toughest battle of the year when they meet the Plainsmen today. The eleven from Louisiana rate the Auburn men above anything they have encountered this year.
 Several Birmingham boys will appear on the Auburn lineup during the game today. 'Phenie', Crane, former Central High school star, is sure to get chance at quarterback. Salter, the former Bes- semer boy. will get into the contest at fullback, if he does not start the game. Turner. who will likely start at full back. is now residing in Birmingham. Harkins. former Jefferson county high star. will start the game at a tackle, probably. English, former Ensley star, may be in the opening lineup at tackle.

COACH ROBERT ZUPPKE of l.
 4 linois, says the most valuable thing

TOACH ROBERT IUPPKE of H.
 linOis. says the most valuable thing
 in football is rhythm.
 Take a perfect specimen of manhood, a man six feet tall, weighing 1855 and properly proportioned, strong, fast and powerful: that man won't help your team in the least if he lacks rhythm, y says Zuppke.
 'There are many men who have ev- cry physical quality you want in q football player, but who never develop into players because they lack rhythm they can not develop the necessary CO., ordination between mind and muscle.
 No man can ever tackle unless he has rhythm. No great tackler ever lacked perfect rhythm. Rhythm IS more necessary in tackling than Tn any other angle of gridiron play. In tack ling the muscles and mind must work in perfect harmony. The mind must work quickly and the muscles respond instantly
 Gilmour DObie, head coach of Corn ell was once asked what he regarded as the most valuable asset in football and his reply wasa
 "Practice. The teams that are most successful are the teams that spend the most time in practice. The play CTS that are the most valuable arc those that have practiced most.
 Tt is allplausible isn't it? A man that does the same thing 1000 times is eO- ing to do it better than the man that does it 999 times, providing that the two men are of equal physical and mental ability. The more your team practices the better it will become"
 Andy Smith, head coach of the Uni versity of California, was asked what he regarded as the most important thing in football and he answered:
 "Perfection of execution. To have a winning team you must have a team ot

eleven units executing plays perfectly.
 '1f you have an imperfect unit your plays will fail. Plays depend upon II nicn each doing his part perfectly. If one of them does 1t imperfectly then the entire play will fail. All you need to spoil play is to have one man do the wrong thing"
 There you areI You have here the opinion of three of the leading coaches in football, east, middlewest and far west. Each has a different opinion and yet the thing that each regards as the most important in football hinges upon the other.
 linois approached Coach Zuppke and gave his opinion of football. He said {:
 Football is too much of spectacle It can not do any good. Only a few men can participate. The way it is played it can not be chased as a sport but a spectacle and think it should be abolished and in its stead we chosoe something that will make for general participation"
 To which Zuppke replied:
 Do you ever go to the theater? Yes, you do. And do you enjoy good play? Yes, you do. Well. why don't you abolish the theater? You should abolish it for the same reason--it is spectacle and only a couple can participate. Yon ought to clean up the theater because everybody can't act. t-
 "I know you like music. You often 20 to concerts. Well, why don't you abolish music? You should for the same reason. Everybody cant sing, so what's the good of having concerts where many people can not join in the singing?"
 To which the professor had no an- Swer.

GIBBONS KAYOS
 TED JAMESON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 24.-Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul added another to his long string of victories when he knocked out Ted JamiesOn, Milwaukee light heavyweight, in the first round of a scheduled 15 round bout here tonight.
 It was apparent from the start of the fight that the Milwaukee man was no match for Gibbons. After about q minute and half of fighting Gibbons caught his opponent with a left hook to the jaw that sent him to the canvas for the count of nine As Jamieson gained his feet he was floored again by similar blow.
 Jamieson made an effort to rise but as the referee reached the count of eight he turned over on his back and was counted out.
 Gibbons weighed E179 pounds and JameisOn 1CJ.
