masterpieces like the old cathedral
at Rheims. He worked hard ct
his courses, only taking Satur-
day nights off for fun.
Yet he was fabulously interested
in girls. He would have denied
this and given large quotations
from Omar to prove his cynicisnn,
as college youths viii.
But he was as flushed now In

her a few condolences and they

Nora Lee said nervously: cts

'Sure enough"
So they danced and danced-her

wanted to look UP at him and say
as she often did to Andrews: "oh,
Dane, don't know why you're

 BESSEMER CLAN
Simpson Team Wins From Ju-
 nior High Eleven, 41-0

Dick Webb's Simpson High school Mid gets swamped the Bessemer Junior High eleven Friday, afternoon by the score of Al to o. The Midget Tornado team weathered an early rush by the Bessemer Tiger Cubs and came back after their opponents had made couple of first downs and, by blocking kick, put over an early counter. Daniels bucked the ball across the goal. Again and again in the first half the Mid get Purple scored. Rowe scooped up a tumble and raced across the Tiger goal and Lewis dropped on the ball behind the Bessemer goal on another tumble for the third score.
 In the second half the Simpson light weights opened up with their running game. During the first half they had stuck to smashing the line. Williams went over for touchdown and Daniels and Green followed with similar scores after end runs.
 Greens drop-kicking stood out, boot ing five out of six goals for point after-touchdown.
 The Simpson Midgets are preparing for an invasion of Chattanooga next Saturday morning when they clash with the Baylor High school Midgets on the morn of the Birmingham-South Chattanooga game.

 DEFEATS ATHENS
North Alabamians Run Up 53-0
 Score On Aggies

CULLMAN, Ala, Oct. S1.-(Spe- cial. .)-Cullman highs slashing attack carried the North Alabama champs of last year to a sweeping 53 to victory over the Athens Aggies on the local field here Friday afternoon, the Gull man backs running at wild over their opponents.
 Two regular backs, fullback Ragland and. halfback Pugh, were out of the Cullman lineup on account of injuries, but their substitutes carried on" in fine style. Allison, especially, looked good in the Cullman backfield, and is doped to be a real star next season.
 The Cullman line outplayed the for ward wall of the Aggies throughout, opening up for their backs in good style. Cullman is showing up in far better style than they displayed last yeaS, when they won out in the elimina- tion contests for the north Alabama championship.
 They play Walker county next Satur- day at Jasper, and then tackle Albert vile on their home grounds. Their strongest opponent for the remainder of the season will probably be the Tuscaloosa Bears, whom they tackle in Cullman on Thanksgiving morning.

 It is up to Ham" Stevens and his running mates, to see that Howard gets the long end of the score. Secret prac- tice was held in the Howard camp Fri day and a big mass meeting with the entire student body represented to show the team that everybody is behind them and expecting victory. However, the coaches are not over-confident. The only statement Gillem has made as to the outcome of the game is that How ard will put forth their best and play 60 minutes of real football.
 Towards student body and band will stage a mommoth parade on the down. town streets at 10:30. The band will have their new uniforms and will pre- sent a beautiful spectacle of college colors and college, spirit. Sections V and W of the southside bleachers will be reserved for the band and students. This gives a center location and good view of the game.
 Bulldogs In Good Shape
 Gillem is taking no chances with the strong Spring Hill boys and has his team in the very best of condition pos sible. It was thought he would sent a different team to meet Spring Hill, but instead he has given his sub backs a bit more attention and will be ready for any emergency that might present itself, as Spring Hill is reported to be in the best condition since they met l..

AEABAMA-MlSS CLASH SATURDAY Teams In Montgomery For Annual Clash
 Today

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 31.- Two state universities, Alabama and Mississippi, will send their gridiron teams to battle at Champion Bowl here tomorrow afternoon. The contest will open the second lap of the 1924 sea son for each eleven. Favorites in this annual combat, the Crimson Tidemen have shot down every target put be- fore them during this campaign and the hefty gridders are determined that Ole Miss shall tumble the same way.
 Both teams had a light workout this afternoon. Tonight Coach Wallace Wade announced that the Tidemen are in the pink of condition. The opposing mentor, 0. S. Bernard, reports a few slight ailments, but is confident his squad, about 10 pounds to the man lighter than the Tide, will give a mighty good account of themselves in their initial appearance at the local stadium in their initial appearance.

The only thing that might bother him is to decide just which of the outfits will do the bulk of the work for the Capstone.

 Here are the probable line-ups:

"HEY turn out successful teams
 at Notre Dame because they do
 not limit football to September but October and November but carry it through the 12 months of each year.
 While they play football only in the autumn, spring and early summer they think football and plan football during the interviewing time and use basketball, baseball, handball, boxing and wrestling to develop physical tricks, speed, judgment and agility ESQ neces- sary in football. It is the incessant practice at Notre Dame that brings about the skill of Rockne teams with tradition playing no minor role in ac- tual competition.
 Rockne does not favor the tehuddle" system in calling signals. This has been in use for a few years in the west ern conference. While used with suc- cess and satisfaction by Big Ten teams it was tried in the east this year with poor results. ,..-.....t..
 Rockne thinks the signals should be yelled from the backfield. He says:
 'When this young Stuhldreher, our quarterback, stands up, looks at the other team defiantly and barks his signal, he has a manner that puts con- fidence into his own men and shakes the confidence of the opposition"
 
 Psychologists who study football (and we believe that most of the professors of psychology in our leading univer- sities find much pleasure in pursuing their studies on the gridiron) claim that the voice of the quarterback can mean victory or defeat in a close game. A voice that is sharp, commanding, con- fident, is bound to spur a team to ex- tra efforts. The voice can carry far greater effect than physical action.
 In making a drive flor touchdown the man calling the signals can be in- valuable toShis team. Many have been. The voice rises, becomes sharper, cracks likera whip as the team advances. The effect is apparent.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 31.- Especial. )-Three Birmingham boys snd one former Auburn grid prospect will battle against their home state Sat urday in the Vandebilt stadium when the Tigers of the Plains comes back again for the first time since that most memorable battle of 1919.
 "Nig" Waller was all-Alabama prep quarterback some three years ago and is now regular quarter for the Vandy varsity. He starred with the Vandy Frosh back in 1922 and then fell afoul of the faculty last year and did not come out. Lacking greatly in experience, he has handled the quarterback role very successfully in the early games. He passes well and runs with speed and agility. His defensive powers have been little disappointing but he has been improving along the line.
 Another Bessemer Boy
 George Waller, another Bessemer boy, and All-State several years ago, has been out for the team for three years but never came into his own until this season. He took over the reins against Georgia and handled the team so well that chances of his replacing "Cou- sin" Mig are roseate this week. He passed once to Hex Wakefield for over 35 yards and Hex added 19 more for the greatest gain of the game. Later he received 3-yard toss, and was a vital factor in the defensive play of the team.
 Big Jim Walker, the regular tackle, grew up around Birmingham and is spending his last year with the Com modore varsity. He is steady tackle

 TO HAUGHTON

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Eulogizing Percy D. Haughton as a dominating influence over the moral and physical welfare of Columbia university and urg- ing the graduates to "carry on" the work left off by him, President Nicholas Murray Butler today paid trib- ute to the memory of the late football coach at a chapel service held in Me Millin auditorium simultaneously with the funeral services in Boston. Elf teen hundred students, including mem bers of the football squad, attended the service. -
 "Haughton possessed rich and virile personaiity." he said. ''He was the greatest exponent of knowledge and con, troi of the body and his educational influence on the university was as great as any professor of mathematics"

 Former Auburn Prospect
 Wilson Dub" Orr spent his Frosh days at Auburn and piloted the Au- burn Rats two years ago. He was in Vanderbilt last year and is one of the first reserve halfbacks this season. Orr has the makings of a fine backfield man before he leaves Vanderbilt. He possesses fine speed, a shifty gait, and power in his drives. He is also a good ular lineup by next year.
 Due to the extensive injuries to the squad in the recent games and the rather dilapidated condition of the re- serve strength, the Commodores are doing little scrimmaging this week. The coaches are sending the squads through long and intensive signal drills and dummy scrimmages in order to save them from any further injuries.
 Captain Kelly Out
 Captain Kelly took the field against the Marines in rather poor shape and early in the first half received an in jury that has kept him from the line up since. The injury has refused to heal and there's little chance that he will be able to appear against the Plainsmen Saturday.
 Bomar was acting captain in Kelly's place and now he is stricken. Wake field will likely be accorded the act. ing-captain's berth for the remainder of the season, or until Kelly finds him. self able to get back in the line.

COLUMBIA AND YALE
 ARE EFAVORED TO WIN
Army Will Give Eli Harder Game This Year
 Lafayette Meets Penn

CT team has improved a great deal since then, unless the Army may be figured to have picked up little. In the light of this, dopesters are giving Eli the odds, figuring that Yale will cross the enemy goal about twice as often as the Army.
 Columbia and Cornell present big ger problem. Columbia, however, dis played fighting spirit against Will Hams that will give them strength which cannot be easily doped. Coupled with the certainty that the men will be out to do honor to the memory of Percy Haughton and his system of football, il is probable that Columbia twill win.
 There are two other games of sec ondary magnitude. Lafayette will play Pennsylvania at Philadelphia and Dart mouth will play Brown at Hanover. Dartmouth and Lafayette are favored in these encounters.
 There is always a possibility that the dope bucket may be spilled in encoun- ters between rivals and this possibility is great in both games. Figuring from past performances and their compara- tive strength as football teams, how ever, there should be little doubt as to the outcome.
 Among the other games in the east are the mere-or-less one-sided scraps be- tween Harvard and Boston university Syracuse and Pittsburg, the Navy and Penn State, and Princeton and Swarth' more.
 Pittsburg is too light this year to be very dangerous to the New York team The Navy is pretty will shot to pieces now and as the Army game is coming along shortly, there should be little doubt but that Penn State will win, Princeton easily outclasses Swarthmore and should, run up a heavy score. liar yard is no worrying about the result of her little affair with the neighbor- ing Boston team.
