BLOUNT COUNTY
 BEATS ETOWAH|
OneOnta Wins Game Easily By
 Score Of B To 0

ONEONTA, Ala, Nov. 16.-(Spe- ciaD-The Blount county football team added another victory to their string when they defeated their old rivals from Etowah County High to the tune Of B to 0. The result of the game was never in doubt after the first few minutes, Blount receiving the opening kickoff and started a march down. the field which ended when Captain Mur- ray bucked the ball over for the first touchdown. Murray, Davidson, Rob- erts and Lowery played stellar ball for Blount. Etowah fought hard through out the contest with Dean standing out prominently, but they were unable to stop with any degree of consistency the hard charging Blount county team.
 This game closed a very successful home season for the Blount countians. Of the five teams played here at home not one has seriously threatened to score. Blount is very proud of this uncrossed goal line especially consider ing their line averages little less than 150 pounds. Blount lost the third game of the season to the strong Fort Payne squad, but overlooking past oc- curences are now bending every effort to be ready for the Jefferson County High team whom they meet Thanks giving.

BAYLOR LEADS

Tie Game Only Blotch On The Leaders 1924
 Record
lBy Associated Press.

DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 16-With the opportunity to decide the championship of the southwestern conference within their grasp, the two remaining unde- feated teams, Baylor and Southern Methodist universities, Saturday, pre- ferrcd to leave the question until Thanksgiving Day for decision, when they hung up another tie game in the seasons record.
 Baylor claims a moral victory, how ever, for the tie was the first to blot their 1924 record, while it was the third that the Methodist Mustangs have registered The Mustangs, picked to re- peat their championship rush of 1925, have experienced some unusual breaks, for Of the three tie games that have been played in the conference, they have been a party to each.
 Rice, the other apparent contender for the honors, was toppled from its perch On Friday by the Texas Aggies, leaving the field clear for the Mustang Bear clash. The Mustangs lone hope now rests with the Rice Owls, the sur prise team of the year, for Baylor closes its season Thanksgiving day with the Owls. The Owls have shown an unusual ability to dope out their opponents signals and Mustang supporters are hopeful that they have by this time fully secuted the bag of trick-plays for which the Bears are noted.
 Tex1s broke into the win column with it's victory over Texas Christian Uni versity and took fifth place in the standing. Arkansas defeated Phillips University while Oklaohma A. and NJ, tied Creighton, both non-cOnference matches

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 16.AUsing the far from prostrate form of the Auburn Tiger as a stepping stone, Georgia Bulldog yesterday slipped into first place in the Southern Conference, with none to say him nay for the moment; The Athenians with five victories and no defeats are just like Abou Adhem until Thanksgiving at least. The lead CTS did not scale the heights without a struggle. There was no smile on the face of the Tiger as he forced the win ners to fight for the six points that decided the annual game in Columbus, a city where big scores are not tolerated and one touchdown is regarded as game insurance.
 Alabama's brilliant Crimson, after showing no signs of fading in a sea- son in which all things are expected to come out in the wash, shows signs of blue in spots today. Fortunately for the Tide, that ebbed more than 1t flowed Saturday, the heavy weather 1t encountered in suffering 17 to 0 de- feat at the flying hands and feet of the Centre Colonels has no disfiguring mark attaching to the conference rec ord of the runner-up. The kentucK- ians are not members of the Southern Conference.
 w.. and l.. Takes Defeat
 Washington and Lee, the third unde- feated eleven of the 9 in the big ring, was also playing outside, going down in defeat to West Virginia university, 6 to 0. The Generals were downed 63 to o by the Mountaineers last season and must be credited with an impressive reduction of scores from one year to another.
 Georgia and Alabama play in Bir- mingham Thanksgiving in game that will give the Bulldogs the mythical title if they win, as they would in that event have six victories. A triumph for Alabama would give the Crimson five victories. Washington and Lee has two more conference games to play, meeting North Carolina State in Ral- eigh Thanksgiving and Florid.. in Jack sonville December 6. The Generals rec ord has a scoreless tie with V. r. l. in- cluded.
 vandy- Tech Close
 Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech put on a sensational struggle, forecast as toss-up, and developing into just that. Heck Wakefield kicked a field goal of 3S yards to decide the game and either team might have won at almost any stage.
 The Tulane Greenbacks proved to be legal tender, good in payment of taxes anl customs, by defeating Tennessee 26 to z.
 Virginia converted a V. P. I. tumble to it's advantage and scored the only touchdown of the day.

PICKENS WINS
 FROM PERRY HI

REFORM, Ala, Nov. 16-(Special.) Playing their last game of the present season on the local field, Coach Jack sons Pickens county football eleven took another step to the state title when the heavy Berry high team fell before the mighty attact of Pickens on Graham Field Friday afternoon, 20 to 6. For the first time this season, Pickens was out numbered in first downs for a slngle quarter, when in the third period, Berry registered three first downs against one for the locals, but neverthe- less the Tigers were stronger, for dur ing the entire game, Pickens was ac- credited with 16 first downs against II for the Lamar county team.
 Pickens opened up early, scoring two touchdowns in the first half Berry kicked off to start the game and after downs, Pickens fumbled on the 16-yard line and the visitors recovered, and made one first down and then punted to Pickens in mid-field, from where the Tigers marched down the field without giving up the ball, Captain Cox going over the goal for the first touchdown from the ten-yard line. Simpson place kicked for extra point, although being rushed by Berry. The quarter ended with Berry in possession of the ball on their own 22-yard line. But the visitors opened the second period with a rush and carried the ball down to Pickens 25-yard line, but here the locals held and began another march up the field and again never gave up the ball on downs, Captain Cox carrying it over from the five-yard line Simpsons place kick was blocked, but Berry was off sides, giving Pickens the extra point and commanding lead, 14 to o.
 For Pickens, Captain Cox and Patter- son stood out with their spectacular end rushing. Cox covered a total of 137 yards for an average of S.5 yards each time he was given the ball. while Patterson averaged 5.6 yards. He also played a great defensive end, often go- ing back and tackling for losses. In the line, the work of Hildreth, alternate captain was fine. Poole, Berry, Patter- son, Cox, and Mills played their last game on tbe local field for the home fans, as Pickens will beet Albertville in Albertville Thanksgiving. All these gave good account of themselves, appearing here in Rickens uniform for their last game, as all are seniors. Cox and Pat. terson is being predicted to land berths on the mythical all-state eleven, Cox being pronounced the best halfback in west Alabama last season.
