 Year To Be Back

contender for first place. Tate and How ward of Georgia did not carry the colors of the Bulldog clan in '23, while Wilson of Birmingham-Southern and Hewitt of Mississippi were, not among the con- tenders.
 Auburn is sending up strong bunch of runners, chief among their contenders being new men who did not carry the Tigers standard last season. However, Reeves, who finishd fifteenth, will be back, and is doped to be included in tho select ten.
 Crimsons Arc Strong
 Alabama's Crimson Tide of the cinder path should be a strong contender from present indications. The Crimsons ran we'll in their race with Birmingham Southern last Saturday at the Capstone, and hopes for finishing strong are held by the Alabanlians. Smith, the three miller, who led the field in the event with the Panther Harriers, was fourth in '23 and is running in great form. Hs may be the lad to take the place O9 George Irons, the speed merchant of Alabama, who not only won the road race last year but even lowered the al- ready excellent time for the event, a record which had been lowered the prev ious year by Richter, the B. A. O. ace.
 In addition to Smith, the Crimsons had a sixth placer in their fold last year who will be back in Cooner, a strong racer who should be among tho top-notchers. At any odds, Alabama will likely be big contender.

CRIMS0NS HAVE
 BIG CAGE MENU
'Bama Plays Partners And Blues Here And
 In Tuscaloosa

UNIVERSITY. Ala. Dec. 8, (Special.) Alabama's partially complete basketball schedule for the present year calls for four games against Birmingham clubs, two to be played here and two in Bir- mingham, and for a four-game sojourn in New Orleans to meet teams of Tu- lane and Loyola.
 The schedule, as it is now, calls for 13 games, six of which are to be played on the local court. These games are against Vanderbilt, BirminghamSouth- ern, Birmingham Athletic club, Mis- sissippi A. and M., Tulane, Loyola, Kentucky and Baylor. Arrangements are pending to play two games against Mississippi college here and two games against the University of Mississippi team here.
 Hard Menu
 The schedule is considered to be one of the hardest in years, although the games do not rank in number with the games played before the present admin istration in athletics. It compares fa- vorably with the number of games played last year, and is a choice menu from the fact that all teams to be played are reported as contenders for championship honors in their respec- tive circles.
 The trip to New Orleans will enable fans of the Crescent City to see several men who have shone in different phases of sport at the Capstone: Graham McClintock, captain-elect of the foot ball team; Shorty Propst, all-Southern center and great baseball player Andy Cohen, crack baseballer; Ben Hudson, footballer, and Captain Slim" Carter and Vernon Stabler, two depend able cage artists.
 Trip To New Orleans
 Loyola is to be played on Saturday night, while Rama will meet the Tulane Greenies on the following Monday and Tuesday nights.
 Of course, Alabama will again par ticipate in the Southern conference when it is staged in Atlanta this year.
 To face this schedule, Coach Crisp is busy working out his squad of youngsters in an effort to have them prepared for the opening game, which is to be played on December 17. The Bay Tor Bears will furnish the opposition, and Alabama will be in rather a weak ened condition with Captain Carter out of the game.
 Schedule As Announced
 The schedule announced is as follows ::
 December 17, Baylor, on campus i; January 5, Birmingham-SoHthe on campus; January 9-10, Mississippi col lege, on campus (pending) January 22, Birmingham- Southern, in Birmingham i; January 23, B. A. C., in Birmingham. January "A, Loyola college, in New Orleans; January 31, Mississippi A. and M., on campus; February 5, Ken lucky State, on campus; January (, Vanderbilt, on campus; January II, E.. A. C.. on campus; January II, Missis- sippi A. and M., at Starksville, Miss. {; games with Ole Miss pending.

another, it was easy enough to handle him, for the pitcher and his support ing cast concentrated on Cobb. But when he came up in pinch it was not easy. There was Cobb and there was the situation and all its possible angles. The defense became panicky and over pressed. While over-pressing it blundered The pitcher blundered or the defense blundered. It made every thing quite simple for Cobb, much simpler than in any other situation. Pinches were distinct advantage to him.
 He was the master of the thrill. He knew when to cut loose. A natural snowman, he realized how he could perform to the best advantage.
 Everett Scott, one of the greatest shortstops the game has developed and who holds the baseball record for play ing in consecutive games. said during the season of 1O24.
 "The only thrill I ever got out of baseball was to see Cobb laundering down to second base. He always seemed to me like a great thoroughbred coming down the stretch. He had a rare fascination for me. It was the one thrill that baseball has given me in all the years, I have played in."

WELTER CHAMP
 BEATS MALONE
Mickey Walker Wins Nine Out Of Ten
 Rounds

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. B. Mickey Walker, world welterweight champion, defeated Jack Malone of St. Paul, in a ten-round no-decision box ing contest here tonight, winning nine out of ten rounds, according to the ma jority of newspaper men at the ring side
 The welter titleholder conceded six pounds to his St. Paul foe, and out boxed and outslugged him from the start. The fourth round was Malone's best. He exchanged punches to the head in a thrilling toe-to-toe rally in the center of the ring, turning Mickey half way around with a short right cross.
 Tonight's contest was third meet ing of the pair and, was fought be- fore 5000 spectators. Walker weighed 14SA and Malone, 153A pounds at 8 p. m.
 Walker won the first round by car rying the fight to Malone. He crowded the St. Paul Irishman, driving both fists to the body at close range and also shook Jack with short, solid punches to the chin. Malone boxed cautiously refusing to trade punches.
 The second and third rounds were Walkers by a margin, although both fighters were rather cautions.
 The fourth round was a thriller. They stood toe to toe in the center of the ring exchanging punches to the head. Malone nailed the welter cham pion with short right cross that turned Mickey half way around. Walker, however, continued to pile up points by his aggressiveness. Walker sunk left hooks to Malone's body in the fifth driving him into the corner under a heavy barrage as the round ended.
 Walker piled up big lead in the sixth. He waded into Malone scoring effectively without dangerous return. The crowd yelled to Malone to fight.
 The titleholder was Malone's master in the seventh. Mickey was driving hard rights and lefts to the body in- terspersing them with jolting punches to the head.
 In the eighth round Walker all but dropped Malone with a right to the chin.
 Walker set a furious pace in the eighth and ninth, knocking lefts to the body that slowed Malone up.
 Malone tried desperately but his punches lacked force. Walker won the tenth round although Malone fought back desperately.
 Warnie Smiht, a cowboy welter- weight of. Oklahoma City, scored a technical knockout over Joey O'Hara of Fort Dodge, Iowa. in a scheduled ten-round contest in the semi-windup.
 O'Hara was virtually out on his feet when the boxing commissioners ordered the bout stopped. O'Hara was floored five times and was reeling around the ring at the finish. Smith weighed 1912 and O'Hara, 1601a.

Indications point to one of the best events in the long history of the A. B. C.'s annual road race here Saturday, with 60 thinly clad athletes of the cinder path, or perhaps in this case, the pave ment, hailing from eight different col leges and the local club.
 Long has the Athletic club road race, sponsored chiefly by Bill Streit, been the feature cross-country event of the track season for the Magic City, and this years classic looks like one of the outstanding events since its introduc- tiOn.
 The strongest contenders from last year, along with the lanky but starry form of Ellsworth Richter, local long distance marvel, will compete for premier honors. All eight colleges will have strong contenders, with Hogan of Mississippi A. & M., and Smith of Alabama slated as the strongest run ners to oust the speedy Richter from his customary place at the head of the fin ishing line.
 Coach Erwin, B. A. c. mentor, is ex- ceedingly optimistic over the prospect for great battle among the leaders for the honor of finishing in the first ten. Six of the first ten to cross the tape last year will again be back to dispute the inches at the finish. Then, Ellsworth Richter was not in the grind a year back, and the lanky one si sure

NURNI GREATEST
 OF ALL RUNNERS
Finnish Star To Compete In
 Many American Events

NEW YORK, Dec. 5. S.-American track and field followers will see prob ably the greatest running machine ot all time in action during the 1924-25 in door season when Paavo Nurmi Finnish marvel who is due here this week, meets the pick of Yankee runners in series Of meets in the east. His plans also con template a possible invasion of tracks in the middlewest and Canada.
 Nurmi, whose Olympic conquests last July at Paris and amazing streak of record breaking performances are well known wherever the cinder path sports is followed, comes here at the helSht or his career. Only 26 years old, this Finnish star. holds ten worlds records at distance ranging from 300 metres to z miles and over the past two years has flashed a consistent brand of speed that has given him an unprecedented place in athletic annals.
 His first competition is slated for January at Madison Square Garden, where, under the auspices of the Finnish American Athletic club, he will run in two races, one at a mile and another at 5000 metres. In attempting this feat, Nurmi will be duplicating the task he set for himself at Paris when, in a single afternoon he won the Olympic 1,5O0 and 5000 metre races, both in record time.
 RitOla Big Rival
 Willie Ritola, Nurmi's American trained countryman and co-star at the Olympics, is expected to be a contender in both races at the garden. Over 5000 metres at Paris, Nurmi won from Ritola by a bare yard and renewal of their rivalry should produce some brilliant running.
 Aside from Ditola, Joie Ray, veteran former American mile champion looms as Nurmi's strongest rival Ray, ac- cording to reports, is showing a return to old time form in training at Chicago.
 Nurmi, so far as search of records reveals, has not been defeated since 1920, when he lost the Olympic five hundred metre race to Guillemot of France.

 Round Ten
 Smith made Tunney back away in the tenth. Plodding after him he blocked all of Tunney's light blows and duck ing one lead Smith rocked the cham pion with terrific right to the jaw. Tunney fought back hard, however, and kept things even by landing on Smith while Jeff waited for another chance to swing a hard wallop.
 Round Eleven
 Tunney was more careful and as the crowd jeered him, Smith rocked him with a left hook. Fighting harder, Gene scored repea tedly to Smiths face, jumping backward to avoid Smiths re- turn blows.
