MANY TICKETS FOR GAME LEFT Alabama Alumni Plan Big Smoker Friday
 Night

Though the demand for tickets for the Alabama Centre. game has been very heavy, there still is large supply on hand at Chenoweth's to be disposed of. Indications are that capacity crowd will witness the game and that the supply of tickets will likely be ex- hausted with the box office sale at Fleetwood field Saturday afternoon.
 The local alumni are making plans for their annual informal smoker Fri day night at the Country club at which time the officers for the coming year will be elected. The proceedings are to get under way at 8 o'clock and Coach Wallace Wade and President Mike Denny of the university will be on hand to give talks.
 The Capstone grads of the city plan a poppy reception for the Ndesmen fol- lowing the Alabama-Georgia game on Thanksgiving Day, win or lose. Plans for this event will also be planned at the smoker Friday night.
 Reports of ticket scalpers busy hoist ing the price of tickets to the Alabama. Centre game have trickled into the alumni headquarters and the former Bama students will make a fight to nab the offenders.
 The game Saturday will draw one of the largest crowds of the year, it is pre- .licted, with the Alabama-Georgia game probably drawing a larger number through the Redwood turnstiles.

 Public Invited

When the doors of the Lyric theater open Sunday night at z o'clock, for the regular service beginning at z 80, under the auspices of the Mems club of the Independent Presbyterian church, sur prise is promised the great throng ex- pected to attend.

 The only feature of the program which has been permitted to leak out is the fact that famous choir of negro singers will be on hand and supplement the numbers to be rendered by the mixed quartet of the church and that there will be other interesting fea- lures to make the service one which will be long remembered by all who attend
 Positive assurance is also given that no collections of any kind for any cause will be taken other than the customary free will offering at each of these serv- ices.

GOBBLERS WORK
 FOR VIRGINIANS
North Carolina State Upsets
 Great Record Last Week

BLACKSBURG, Va, Nov. 13.-The Virginia Poly Gobbler eleven is working this week at top speed for what the Techmen regard as their most impor- tant game of the year. The University of Virginia comes here Saturday for their first game since 1901, at which time the locals were downed 16 to O. This year the result should be much closer as the Cavaliers and the Techs are about as evenly matched as can be,
 Undauted by their to 3 defeat last week and at the hands of North Caro- lima State college, the locals went to work with a will Tuesday to make up for past performances and capture the all-important battle with Virginia. The Gobblers were out for a record this sea son in the matter of opponent scores but they received a bad upset when State got over their touchdown. UI until this game the Gobblers goal line had been crossed only once and that by Clemson college two weeks ago. Stand ing in second place and led only by the University of Alabama out of one hun dred teams in the country, the Gobblers this week have dropped back to seventh place. With this record gone, the Poly eleven are determined to capture the two remaining games, the first being with Virginia and the second with Vir. ginia Military institute in Roanoke on Thanksgiving Day.
 The Techmen had five chances to reg ister against State in the first half last Saturday, but the old offensive punch was not forthcoming. This phase of play will receive great consideration this week as the Cavaliers have one of the best offensive teams in the state this season. They are especially adept at the overhead style of play and Coach Ben Cabbage will direct his efforts to- wards stopping the Virginia forward passing game.
 The Gobblers went through stiff scrimmage today and look fit to give Virginia the battle of the year on Saturday.

LOUIS ANGELO IS
 : DOWN AND OUT
Weinert Puts Argentine Out Of < Running For Title

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The once great Luis Angelo Firpo is at last def initcly and decisively down and out.
 After having been chased all over the Newark armory Wednesday night by Charley Weinert, the Bull might still have held hopes of again appearing but the blow which fell Thursday lit orally gave him his ticket back to the I'ampas.
 Thursday Quintin Romero-R -Rorjas himself almost as much of down and outer as the Bull, declined Firpo's of fer of a match in Buffalo on December 1G. He said that Firpo must regain his reputation before there will be any match scheduled.
 It wss the added insult. Firpo's mouth is now swollen and plastered shut. He has been unable to alibi him self as yet for the Weinert defeat. When he does, as he surely will, 1t is doubtful whether anyone will listen.
 Only about 5000 showed up at the Newark armory for the Weinert scrap It is the general opinion of fans that another fight might draw 50, if it were a good night

PREP ELEVENS HOLD
 BIG BATTLE FRIDAY
Howard Rats Meet Wills Taylor; Jeffcohi- us- caloosa Hueytown-F Fayette Feature

end runs has featured the offensive play of the Gophers thus far. Porter, too, at quarterback, is an able field general who totes the ball well.
 Battle Of Former Mates
 Fayette will come to Bessemer with a clean record, piloted by Charlie Scott, another Auburn star of former days. Also, both Scott and Snider were for mer, Bessemer boys, who played on Tiger elevens of the past, and the battle will be fight of former playmates in more ways than one.
 Fayette recently defeated Marion County High, one of her strongest op- ponents, and will make every attempt to down the Gophers.
 Billy Bancroft and his Howard Frosh will likely have their hands full when they meet Wills-Taylor college of Huntsville. The visitors from the north, always fine eleven, have gone beyond the high school class, and have an eleven which should test the local fresh- men.
 Wills. Taylor Strong
 Will-Taylor will. be remembered by local gridiron fans for the great battle staged in Munger Bowl a few seasons back by that team when they tangled l with Gulf Coast academy for what was claimed to be the prep championship of the south. The Huntsville eleven makes great record each year, playing mostly Tennessee teams, due to the fact that there are few combines of their rating in their immediate section.
 Billy Bancroft, following his sensa- tional performance against the Bir- mingham-Southern Freshmen, will be slated to give the visitors all they want in the line of, broken field running and kicking. And the former Woodlawn star has a good eleven to back him up in repelling the invasion of the North Alabamians.
 The Howard Rats have not been de. feated this year, although they have suffered two deadlock counts. The Troy Normals and the Auburn Freshes were able to battle the locals to draws while last Tuesday the Howard com bination smothered the Panther Rats in their big game of the season under an avalanche of Bancroft scores.
 The two elevens will begin hostilities at Berry Field at 2 80 o'clock.

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 13.-(Special.) ) Hold 'em Auburn" Hold lem Au- burn," will be the chorus swelling the breeze from the famous forty-piece tiger band as the Auburn Tigers gallop along the driving park green to defend their goal line from the ferocious Georgia Bulldog in their annual grid classic at Columbus Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. On all sides of this noted band of music makers will be thronged Au- burns fifteen hundred student enroll ment that will join the Hold Elm" chorus in their unswerving efforts to help their favorite Tiger to steady his stand against the invasion of the Geor- gians.
 In years and years gone by the slo- gan from the orange and blue stands has been Touchdown Auburn, Touch down Auburn" but with the heavy bur den of odds resting ruthlessly on the shoulder of the Tiger eleven, Auburn s move of wisdom will be to take the de- fensive and concentrate all efforts in doing the job well at this point in the schedule.
 30 Men Mako Trip
 With their backs to the wall and crippled with two conference defeats, those who journey out to the Electric City's magnificent playing field will not 20 in vain. Eleven Orange and Blue gridders, who will constitute the starting squad, and nineteen others who will wait on the side lines for their turn to get into the struggle, are pre- pairing on the Auburn plains for the great stand in the Georgia metropolis on the weekend.
 Coach Pitts has expressed his inten- tions of carrying his entire squad of thirty men to the game Saturday. The squad consists of three centers, Captain Lawrence, Lutz and Robinson; six guards, Long, Brice, McFadden, Self, McCulley and Johnson; five tackles, Grisham, Sitz, Harkins, English and Huckeba; five ends, Pruitt, Ollinger, Market, Spinks and Baskin; three quar- terbacks, Petersen, Crane and Hunni- cut; four halves, Harrison, Williams, Green and Allen four fullbacks, Salter, Turner, Hagood and Reese.
 Lineup Doubtful
 As to who will be first to face the Woodruff eleven, it is not yet known. It is expected that the line, with Cap tain Flats" Lawrence heading the front wall at center, will have as his aides, Brice and McFadden, guards; Grisham and Harkins, tackles; Ollinger and Pruitt, ends. Should this lineup face the Georgians who, too, are known to have a great forward bulwark, it will be battle royal of the lines." With the poundage, slightly favoring the Georgians, the Auburnites will brace to hold the ground against the onslaughts of the Athenians. Three veterans of all-southern caliber in the personages of Captain Lawrence, Noisy" Grisham and "Hardboy" Pruitt, will be making their last stand against the Bulldog | eleven.
 In the backfield, the four bgcks to first see service might be Petersen, Green, Williams and Salter, none of this quartet are playing the fourth year of their allotted time.
 Allen Makes Bid
 Another back, Ed Allen, will make strong bid, for place in the lineup as the referee starts the battle. Allen is serving his third year on the Auburn

squad. His two years prior to tne pres ent campaign has found him in bad physical condition to start the season with but he came back this year in tip-top shape and has probably shown as much development and con scientious effort as any member ot the squad, Allen will most likely get into the fray, if he is not one of the backs at the start. c
 Hagood, who has gone good at full hack in several games this season, re- turned to the practice this afternoon for tbe first time in several weeks, hav- ing sustained a broken foot sometime ago. The Brewton lad, however, has not sufficiently recovered to get into Saturdays game.
 Gloomy Outlook
 While the game looms only matter of hours away, the speedy recovery of Turner, Market and Petersen has not taken on the favorable turns to recov- ery-that had been hoped for earlier in the week. It is hoped, however, that Petersen will be able to start the game Saturday but little hope is held out for Turner and Market. With these exceptions and barring further injury the team should go into the game Sat urday in fair shape.
 Thursday night witnessed a huge mobilization of student roofing forces who had met in the final mass meeting of the week to round out plans for the Georgia trip Saturday morning when the football special starts eastward at 9 o'clock. Short and spirited addresses were delivered by student leaders, mem. bers of the squad, coaches and members of the faculty pointing to stopping the Georgia canine Saturday.

UNIVERSITY HIGH UPSETS CAHABA
Gamecocks Win Great Victory Over Mountain
 eers By z To 0

The University High Gamecocks knocked the dope bucket over at Avon dale field Thursday afternoon when they downed the heavy Mountaineers of Shades Cahaba by the count of to o, outplaying the visiting clan from the first whistle.
 The Gamecocks started off like vic tors from the first when they scored in the initial period. They received, made a couple of first downs and then gained on an exchange of punts. A first down was followed by a penalty, and then the Mountain clan held. Mccoy tossed a 15-yard aerial thrust to McNally, who made a sensational, jumping catch, grabbed the ball and rambled on 10 yards over the goal line for the touch down. Mccoy added the extra point from placement.
 University WAS able to stop the run ming of the Cahabaites during the re- mainder of the period and the half ended with the score of 2.
 The Mountaineers fought hard to knot the count in the second half but to no avail. Once Willis Davidson drove down the sidelines on a line play for 30 yards and placed the ball in posi- tion to score. However, after another first down, the Gamecocks held when several forward passes were grounded and the most serious threat of the wis itors was over.
 Following the spurt of the Mountain eleven, the Gamecocks started an of fensive which carried them nearly to the goal line. Mike Grabin, in the fea- turet run of the day, broke through guard for 40 yards. However, the Gamecocks were unable to gain and 8 long pass was grounded. .
 The running attack of Mike Grabin aided by Mccoy, with the receiving of passes by Busby McNally featured the Gamecocks' offense. The defensive work of Proctor Barnett at tackle and Fisher in the backfield stood out, while Wood, Housman, Burt and Douglas did great work. Mike Grabin's bunting also was a big feature.
 Cornelius was the big star for Shades. Cahaba. His defensive play stood out on every line play the Gamecocks ran Willis Davidson did well on the de fense and was the biggest threat of the Mountaineers in the offensive role. Nor. man and A. Thompson worked well while the play of the Cahaba ends was good.
