ALL-STAR CARD
 FOR B. A.C. BILL
Local Ring Stars To Bat tie In Big Show Mex
 Monday

Something in the way of an inn1fA ton will be introduced at the Birinliiks ham Atheltic clubs gym Monday night week. October 20, when an All-star local card will be given in boxing and wrestling. B. A. C. officials decided nn such n show after numerous Of tho patrons had suggested that such q pFops osition would 70 over big with the l0cnl bugs. As one boxing enthusiast afateil You always know local talent is ip there hammering away for . knockoul Local boys never have any understand ing and they don't know the meaning Of the word flop" As result of urgent pleas for nn all-star bout club offleiliIs announced Saturday night that all ar engagements had been made for the stag ing of the show.
 Another thing that caused lem to bear down on the alI-star idea was the faci that hundreds of Petey Sarron's friends have been demanding that he be matched with some good man ever since Petey returned from the Olympic games in in Paris as a member of the American Olympic Boxing team. Petey, by virtue of his good fortune in being placed os the Olympic team is now a world figtsr tn amateur boxing. Monday night, how ever, he doffs for all-time his afaatat standing and enters the professional ranks.
 No Opponents
 He would have been used before nov on E. A. c. boxing card If the eisli. officials had been convinced that there was boy of his own weight in Bir minglIam who could give him troul.e They had their doubts as to this nhts that very fact accounts for the activity Of Red Burke in so many B. A. c shows as q semi-windup boy. Thes promised the red-bead 20 with Sarrnll if he should eliminate all the other Elt tie fellows. Red has eliminated lem. anu! Monday night week he will have the chance of trying his elimnators on Snr. ron. The Burke-Sarron bout should prove one of the best ever held in Bir bingham.
 There are two other ten-round bout on this all-star cards. In one of them sam Lavey, who battle a hectic draN with Burke at the last show, but whr has been beaten by him once, will gs, against Joe Resha. It will be Joe's fifst ten-rOunder, but if he's as good oyea the long route as he is in the six-routlt affairs he will give the bugs the thrill of their lives. Bogie Saab and Harfs Carter are the other two boys scheduled, to mix it in ten-round melee.
 Smith vs. Rich
 Jimmy Smith and Young Rich vii be there with the gloves on and theii hair in a braid for the six-round at traction. Matchmaker Evans is now busy trying to find some good man t. send against Tom Lacey in the ten round wrestling affair which is on tn, program.
 With all local boys on the menu tho fans are assured of some real fistiGlff ing. They have seen each boy box anu they know just what he can do ia th, way of fist-slinging. Therefore ticket purchasers to the coming show will noi be forced to gamble on the merit of the card

third period, by further furious at tack,s they scored two more touch downs and ran their total of points to 21, while stopping us completely.
 Buell. Alone Left
 In the meantime, our first-string backfield had slowly dissolved until only Quarterback Buell. was left in action. Owens had been compelled to retire, Gratwick taking his place at full. Chapin yielded to the light Churchill at right half. Hovey supplanted Fitts at left half.
 But this was not the end of our bad luck. Hovey became q casualty and, with no more running backs tc put in, we had to fill his place with Johnson, substitute quarterback Gratwick, who, had taken up Owen'i task at full, in turn had to give way to Gehrke.
 The climax was reached when Kehrke succumbed. Our reserves of backfield men had been exhausted.
 Then Coburn Fills the Gap
 At this juncture l recalled that Phil Coburn, 6 substitute guard, had been ambitious to play backfield position and also possessed some experience be- hind the line. He told me that he knew the signals we'll.
 I've been practicing them every night" he said.
 He was our only hope and I sent him in at fullback. A few minutes later Crimson enthuiasts were. cheering new gridiron star. Coburn had no sooner taken Gehrke's place than he proceeded to prove his qualifications for the assignment.
 Smashes Line
 In a series of line smashes he made repeated gains. These, mixed with q forward pass, enabled us to carry the bali close to the Penn State goal line. Then Buell., our quarter, engineered the best strategy of the game. Taking Q dropkici. he threw q forward pass to Churchill, substituting at right half. He caught the Quakers completely by surprise. Churchill darted for the goal line, but. with the speedy Pam State backs, Killinger and Lightner, rallying to the pursuit, he was overhauled while he still had three years to go.
 Tomorrow: Concluding Fishers AtOrV.

the latter's hands but was recovered quickly and Brown was under way up the field. Racing, stopping, lodging, ne threaded his way among his Op- ponents until he had cleared every one and then he leaped across the few re- malning lines for q touchdown, his flight having covered 75 yards. The record run of this class of plays in the United States in 1923 was only ten yards longer, dash made by William Brett, of Detroit, through Marquette.
 Lo! Even the tumble participated in the scoring records of the day. At Lafayette, Indiana, Purdue was ac- cumulating q formidable score of 21 points against Wabash.
 Beatty Covers Tumble.
 At College Park, Maryland, the uni. versity of that name opened it's season in q game with Washington college At the outset of the fray, Washington surprised Maryland by a dangerous threat to score, standing with the ball on Maryland's 25-yard line. Here the old, old story whs re-enacted. Some one fumbled. Beatty. right end for Maryland, bounced upon the ball and instantly was off for the gOnl-line 75 yards away, which he crossed. Thus, Washington lost it's only chance to score, being finally defeated 23 to O..
 At Lafayette, Indiana. Wabash stung Purdue also with a touchdown from q tumble. Purdue was piling up score which finally totaled 21 points. Last year these teams played tie. Early in the contest someone in Purdue's bril- liant backfield fumbled, and Weber. right guard for Wabash, seized the ball and raced 35 yards for the only touch down of his team during the day.
 Mcbride Kicks Goal.
 The field goal kickers with the sound of the whistle jumped progressively into action. At Syracuse, John F. Mcbride, of the Orange eleven, kicked two goals from placement over HObert's cross bar. In 1925 no player in the entire Cnited States scored more than two placement goals in single game. The most notable goal of the day from the standpoint of cleverness was kicked by Mock. of HaverfOrd. against Columbia. Mock. field goal specialist, was sub stituted for Lamberti to make the es- say. The ball was on the 17-yard line, at an exceedingly difficult angle

CENTRE CALLS
 OFF GRID GAME
Reason Given That Car
 sOn-Newman Is Play- ing Syracuse Stars

DANVITI.E, Ky, Oct. 11.--(Spe. eial. )--Centre college did not play the Carson Newman football team Satur- day.
 A discrepancy in statements by Car son.Newmnh officials in regard to tht eligibility of members of the team caused the Centre athletic board oi control to decline sending the Coloncls against the visitors.
 After session of two hours last night at which Lake Russell, coach of Carson-Newman was present, the ath. letic board of control issued the follow, ing statement "fn view of discrep- ancy in statement of Dr. John D. Everett, dean of Carson-Newman co.,. lege, to the effect that no Syracuse, N. Y., players were enrolled in school and m statement of Russell that there four Syracuse players, three of whom are with the team and two of whom are eligible, and that all three of these were in uniform at the practice here Friday afternoon, which discrepancy by the interested Syracuse newspapers in the game is disturbing and the conse- ouent bad feeling as q result of ths situation, have made Centre college au' thorities feel justified in calling off the game"
 The statement was signed by ]. H. Biles, faculty chairman of the athletic board of control
 The Carson-N Newman players de cined to have their pictures taken Fri day afternoon.
 Centre authorities began an investi' gation of the Carson Newman team upon receipt of the following article taken from the Syracuse Journal of September 27: -Four Syracusians, three of whom were 'up to this year students of Meehan's squad, are now members of the Carson Newman college eleven down south.
 Their names cannot be published. The quartet has been at Carson New man since early this month and has been drilling for q season, which Is expected to make the southerners shine in intercollegiate circles this fall.
 Carson Newman opens its football career of 1924 this week against Be- wGnee. A week from Saturday, Oc'o, Der 4. the eleven meets it's most potent enemy, Centre. It is this game espe' cially that Carson-Newman seeks to win, Carson Newman alumni are back ing their team in it's efforts to come across with win against Centre.

ting for rally which made football history and brought the high-pitched throng to it's feet in frenzy of emo tion.
 We had anticipated that when Hugo Bezdeck brought his eleven to Cam bridge we would have . fight on our hands. The former Chicago fuliback had constructed a really strong ma chine and in Killinger and Lightner he possessed two consistent ground gathers. In four games, Penn State had run up total of l4S points to it's opponents seven.
 Harvard Leads As Start
 Although we had won all of our prey ious five games, we had managed to score only 5S points, meanwhile yield ing seven points to our ,oppositi0n. Wt had n good rushing attack which en. abled us to take the ball down the field to q scoring position, but too often we then would fail to get 1t over the line.
 Prefer to the Penn State game we had 6 long list of injured players but against Bezdeck's aggregation we mar shalIed a first-string lineup, though only by calling upon men who really should not have been in the game. The regular backfield, consisting of Buell. at quarterback, Fitts at left halfback, Chapin at right halfback and Owen at fullback, started the game. But all of these men, save Buel, were in a crip- pied condition. It was only because there were even worse injured among the reserved that they played.
 Crlpples Come Through
 At the start Harvard gained a dis tinct advantage. The Crimson crip- ples performed beautifully and in the first period, after long run by Owen, we made a march of 48 yards on line smashes and end runs that put us over the line for a touchdown. Goal after touchdown made the score 2 to 0 in our favor. We continued our drive in the second quarter, increasing our total of points to IA.
 With their backs to the wall. the Quakers suddenly showed wonderful Aggressive power. Using their famous close formation they made a touchdown and goal after touchdown in the clos ing stages of the first half. In the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The star performers of the triumphant Washing ton baseball troupe shouldered their rakes and hiked from the capital Satur- day to Garner the last incidental prfOits of their fame on transforming tours of the smaller cities, a. line of work that should make them considerably richer before the echoes of their acclaim die away. M
 Buck Harris went to New Haven, Conn.,. to reveal Go the townsmen and the students of Yale the aggressive style of fielding and hitting that knocked the Giants ears down four times in seven days. Walter Johnson tied up with an- other troop of countryside marauders and took with him Joe Judge, the first baseman, and the Washington come dians, Nick Altrock and Al Schacht. Their first exhibition game will be played in Rochester, N. '.
 Peck Won't Go
 Roger Peckinpaugh, the shortstop who played most of the series on the bench, will do his homeward limping at the drivers wheel of new automo- bile. given to him by the baseball fans of his home town, Cleveland. Roger had as many offers of money for exhibi- tion games as the next man but had to turn them down because his leg wouldn't stand the strain.
 Some of the transforming players are more or less worried for fear that Presi- dent Coolidge will invite them to dine at the White House, campaign gesture which has been suggested in many tele- grams from individual republicans here and there about the country. The play CTS are not snObbish and ordinarily they would just as lief dine with the Presi- an invitation from the White House is dent as any other well-behaved man.

PAINTERS GET SLIM
 WIN OVER MILLSAPS
Curly" Black Plunges Over Line For Lone
 Touchdown Of Battle

Birmingham Southern Panthers won a meagre victory over Millsaps Majors on Munger Bowl Saturday afternoon. A plunge by .Curley" Black, Panther halfbaek, scored a touchdown in the second quarter and represented the sum total of scoring for the day. The count was and for the Griffin failed to kick the goal for point after tochdown.
 The score does not represent the diff ference in the two teams. The eleven which played in golden jerseys were two if not three touchdowns better than the Eurple battlers from Mississippi. A renaity total ranging well over POO yards tells the story of the impotency of the Panther attack. A gain of 15 and 20 yards would be futile. The over-zealous eye of the head Iinesman or referee would perceive foul or off-side and the ball would come back to where it start- ed and would be paced back up the field for five or fifteen paces. On one occasion the Panthers lost 2O-yard gain and were called back for a 15- yard penalty. Such breaks is not in ducive to best efforts by weary back field men. Millsaps escaped un- Rcathed and not penalty was called on them during the game.
 AN WkiH03B8l l&fF1tOfy
 The Partners ripped off gains of vary ing dimensions through, the Majors line and around the Hanks. Their attack kept the ball in the Millsaps' territory practically all the time. The Majors never crossed the Panthers' 0-yard line in their advances with the ball, what few were made. An all the Mill saps crew scored about three first downs while the Panthers counted a dozen or more.
 The flashy work of Black in a broken field, the work of 'sGreekr Griffin in returning punts, and the steller per formances of Buddy" Cairns and Ham" Weeks in the line stood out for the Panthers. Mor Millsaps the play ing of Hollaman and Harris, in the back field and Brooks at end were the shining features,
 Time after time steady marches down the field by the Panthers stop ped within the Majors 10-yard line. The bali would be carried down to easy striking distance by the furious charg- ing of Captain Red Farr and the flashy runs of Williams and Black only to be lost when scoring plays were in- effective.
 Should Have Scored.
 On several occasions the Pahthers should have counted, 1t appears. Once, just before the first half ended, beau tiful chance for a field goal presented itself when the hall was on Millsaps' 10-yard line. Kimbrough, an accurate drop-kicker, was in the game at quar- ter, but instead of kicking the Pan thers elected to try a pass and 1t was intercepted by Millsaps man. Har- ris promptly kicked out of danger. On several occasions the march down the field halted when the Gold and Black warriors took to the air as a means of advancing the ball.
 The passing game of the locals, in- cidentally, was very ineffective. One long pass of about 30 yards fell into Whitesides hands but fell out again. The rest of the passes were not di- rected with any degree of accuracy snd either fell uncompleted or were intercepted.

MARION COUNTY
 BEATS TUPELO

GUN, Ala, Oct. 11.-(Special. )- The Marion County High Bulldogs whipped the Flying Cadets of Tupelo Military institute to the tune of 9 to 0 in a hard fought contest. The Cadets had q hard hitting, smooth running machine, but it could not withstand the fierce attack of the fighting Bulldogs.
 Guin kicked off to T. M. I. to open the game. They immediately held for downs and on the first play Hughes circled right end for 8 yards. Weeks bucked it over from the 15-yard line in four tries at the line.
 Hughes featured with two drop kicks from the g and 25-yard lines. Weeks couldn't be stopped through the line. On the defense Byrd, Shelnut, Mckay and Singleton were superb.
 For the Cadets Savery at half played an excellent game. On offense and de- fense, Wylie at quarter was good.
 The whole Guin team was working like a machine. The outcome of the game was never in doubt although the Cadets fought a game fight. The Bull dogs are strong eontenders for the north Alabama title. They play Sul- ligent High at Guin next Friday.

World Champions Disperse
 To Many Different Fields

cycle cop--you don't dare turn it down. And if these players have to quit their transforming trips to come back to the capital for dinner, they will lose money.
 Walter is just a school boy again. Leffler arrived on the Washington club late in the season and therefore did not qualify for any share Of the players pool. When the men got to. geher to vote on the division of the money they appOrti0ned $3,97310 each to Chick Miller. Tommy Taylor and Al Schaeht, withholding a full share from these men because they were not with the club all season. But they voted no share to Leffler, and the kid had to ac cept such donations as were dropped in his hat by the regulars. .
 Schaeht, although a non-cCmbatant, was much more valuable to the club than most of the customers realized. They saw him only as the foil for Nick Altrock's clowning, hut Al really IL one of the best signal snatchers in base Tall and he was on the third base line throughout the world series tipping the Giants, signals to the Senators by 8 code of piercing whistles.
 Washington's work-day was total loss. Notwithstanding prohibition, it must be reported that a number of per- sons were either wild eyed drunk Oi making a great pretense, as the celebra- tion ragged on and on toward dawn in the city's streets. The wine of the country here is a white liquid rcputed to be green" corn whisky, but it has the Odor, flavor and outward effects of sulphurie acid, diluted with brass pol ish. The victim begins to pluck at the eOverlet ab0ut 24 hours after taking and should begin to recognize friends, if any, Il couple of days later.
 The wheels of the government ground nothing but a grist of reminiscent base ball chatter and work was even further than usual from the thoughts of ths bureau personnel.

 Alabama Strong a1}s
 Alabama has great eleven, heavy aud experienced, but Sewanee has 4fne speed and confidence. Last year when 'Bama was touted as q world bea teft the Orimsons were unable to score on. til the last five minutes of play and then only after Sewanee had sevefaf times during the game looked very dHi's gerous. It is no breach of confid1z>eH to say that the Sewanee eleven v stronger than that of last year.
 Tbe Tiger is always slow in start- ing. Dope followers will remember last season the Carson Newman game re- suited in a 0 to score, week later Howard College was defeated ! td which was followed by q defeat of Texas A. & M., Sewanee failing % score, and then came the Alabama game previously referred to.
 Tiger Vicious
 The year Alabama beat Georgia TeG1 in Birmingham and was said by Heis- man to have one of the best teams ftlNt he had ever seen, the Tiger came tn tlls Magic City the following week and n1ntie the Tide look sick-Alabama failing t9 even score. ks
 Comparative scores and other pre- dictions count for nothing when ei1s figures Tiger!ride affairs. In yeaFa past the sight of Crimson iefsky alone has been sufficient to cause fha Tiger to scatter dope" to the seven winds.
 There has always been battle from the kickoff until tho final whlss tle. The rivalry could not be keenef. but the play Is always clean. Thnne are thrills galore, but good feeling throughout.

 Harold Red Grange proved con clusively that he had not gone back by scoring two touchdowns before leav- ing the game early in the second quar- ter. One came after q 15-yard dash and the other was a 4S-yard journey wide around left end.
 McIlwain shared honOrs with Grange during the first quarter, his terrific line smashing gaining from four to eight yards on almost every effort.

SPOR7S1I S1I}ASEBALLGOL IENNIS BOXING

SEWANEE, Tenn. Oct. 1f.--(Spec- ial. .)-Ihis week has been busy one on the mountain. While the Texas A. & NJ. game is next on the schedule, the battle cry has been to "get 'Bama," and if the Crimson tide Is looking for another victim, it would do well not to start it's flow until after the Sewanee game.
 That Alabama Is unusually strong is we'll known by the purple followers, hut the Crimsons should not take the Carson.Newm game seriously.
 Coach Newman gave that two hun dred pound "imported'' line of Carson Newman one look, and being wise in his day and generation sent his stars to the side lines. Carson-Newman has no eligibility rules, and nothing could be gained by risking first string play CTS against such an eleven.
 Betty And Willard Tackles
 Elliott Beaty, whose recent return from Europe caused Purple stock to take big jump, will be in as tackle, while Capt. Flop Willard, will help balance the other side of the line. Haynes Is another of last years power. ful lines to be back on the job. Gooch too can be depended upon with 'Foxie'' Kent to bolster up the line. While the back field is lighter than usual, 1t is also much faster than in years past. In Barker Sewanee has cnndi- date for "all southern" quarter. His speed is sure to delight the large crowd that will no doubt visit Redwood Sat lirday next. Harris, Gibbons, and Ma. honey are other back field regulars.
 Sanders recent return to Sewanec has brought joy to the Tigers lair. There are few better pnnters in Dixie. Not only has he distance, but aecu- .acy as we'll.
 Coach Bennett, in whom Sewanee fol- lowers have the greatest confidence,
