LOTHIAN DEFEATS
 NEWTON COLLEGE
Tumble Results In Lone Touch
 down Of Game

LOTHIAN, Ala, Oct. 1S.-(Special.) ) Dothan High school eleven defeated Newton college here by the score of 6 to 0. Dothan kicked off to Newton who after one first down fumbled Dothan recovering. The Dothan began a march slashing a first down through the heavy Baptist line. Then q 30-yard pass Lee to Woodward place the ball with in the 20-yard line. The locals rushed another first down putting the ball with in five yards of goal line but the big line of Newton held the ball going over on the three-inch line.
 The break winning the game coming late in the fourth period when Bowling fumbled Byrd's punt, Melton Dothan's left tackle scOoping the ball up and racing 35 yards for a touchdown be- hind perfect interference. Harris miss ing goal for the extra point. Newton brought to Dothan one of the hardest fighting and best coached teams seen on the local field this season. They fought the locals every minute for GO long minutes making five first downs to the locals six. Byrd for Dothan and Bowling for Newton staged a punt ing duel Byrd averaging 30 yards with his spirals, While Bowling fell nine yard behind with an average of 30.

But Dillon, the Tiger quarter, was quick to take advantage of the fact that our six linemen were slightly spread out to counter the seven men in the Orange and Black line. He used Mccormick, the husky full, in a series of plunges through center in which his center man materially aided And thus was made possible the touch down and field goal which troubled us as the whistle sounded
 During the intermission our coaches decided to drop the new formation and use seven men in the line.
 Princeton Ready To Deliver Crushing
 Blow
 As we lined up for the kickoff we knew that the critical stage of the game, so far as we were concerned, was at hand. If we could stop the Tiger offensive, well and good; the ten point handicap imposed upon us in the first half was not insuperable. We might overcome it. If. however, the Orange and Black should score again well-that would be different. Victory and defeat almost surely would have chosen their partners and chosen them for good.
 It soon was apparent that our Oppo- nents, coached by Bill Roper, had a full realization of the needs of the sit uation. They had, in fact, returned to the field prepared to put over crush ing and finishing blow. This devel- oped at once in a dazzling and well nigh stunning strategy.
 Same Line-Up
 The lineup for the kickoff was the usual one. We were scattered in the customary positions for receiving the ball. Princeton had it's men deployed abreast across the field on it's 50-yard line. Quarterback Dillon was at the extreme right end of the formation. Fullback Mccormick, in the center of the line, was set to boot the ball, which rested on the 55-yard line in the middle of the field.
 The whistle blew. Then came the thriller. Mccormick ran forward as if to kick, but the instant his foot swung back Left Halfback Harlan dashed in from his left side and de- livered a boot that sent the ball spin ming to the right directly toward the sidelines. Simultaneously Eddie Dill lon flashed down the field, running just within the sideline. He met the ball ten yards beyond the middle of the field, the minimum distance permitted for an Onside kick, caught it just as it threatened to sail out of bounds and started for our goal.
 Tomorrow: Concluding Jones' story,

c ONE coaches drive their men. D some pat them on the back and
 jolly them along and some do like Tad" Jones in their quest for victory.
 Jones's relations with his men is best Illustrated by a story told by himself.
 During the Yale-Brown game of 1923 he wished to try out q new play. To do so he withdrew Quar- terback Stevenson, transferred Neidlinger from half to quarter and sent in Murphy to take Neidlinger's place. Murphy took with him mes sage to Neidlinger to try the new formation, a fake and end play which was to be used later against Princeton and Harvard.
 Under the rules, Murphy could not deliver his message until after one play had been made. On this play, however, Neidlinger's strategy re- suited in a touch down. Jones watched in vain thereafter to see the execution of the new strategy.
 The game ended in Yale's favor and on the way out Murphy rushed excitedly up to his coach.
 Say, Tad" he said, "I didn't give your message to Neidlinger. He got touchdown on his own play and 1 thought if his judgment was so good what was the use of telling him what you said"
 Tad" Jones commands something from his players that counts heavily and that is intense loyalty founded one faith in his fairness.
 If anything were needed to fur ther point his character it can be cited in the fact that in the accom- panying story, which has to do with a game in which he played, he has almost nothing to say about his own deeds, but gives all his praise to one performed by the enemy. This is ex- pecially significant when it is re- called that "Ted's" handling of his team and his individual performance in this game had a lot to do with winning him a place on the all-Amer- ican eleven.

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 17.-(Special.) The Auburn Tiger won over the Bull dog eleven from Howard college in their last campus game here Saturday atter- noon by score of 17 to 0. Coach Pitts allowed the second string outfit with the exception of Captain Law renee, Ollinger and Pruitt to face the Baptistas the game started.
 Scores of visitors in attendance at the Sophomore dances on the plains this weed-end swelled the attendance at the Tiger-Bulldog battle.
 Auburn won the toss and elected to receive. Lollar for Howard kicked to Allen on the goal line. Allen muffed the ball and Crane, who recovered, raced forty-three yards before being downed. Hagood got ten yards and Allen skirted the end for twenty yards, but fumbled when tackled. Howard recovered on their own twenty-five yard line.
 Score Touchdown
 On the first play the Bulldogs re- ceived a fifteen yard penalty which placed the Red and Black on their ten yard line. Capt. Stevens then kicked to Allen who returned thirty-four yards to the shadows of the Howard goal line. With short five yards to the goal line Hagood, Tiger fullback, went over for his first touchdown in a varsity uni form. Allen got the extra point from placement.
 During the remainder of the first quarter and through the second and third periods as well as the first part of the final period. the game was list less and without either team threaten ing seriously. During this time the Baptists Captain, Ham Stevens, tried a trio of drop kicks, all of which flew wide of their mark. The attempts at the cross bars were made from the neigh borhood of the thirty yard line.
 As the final quarter passed the half way mark and with six minutes left to play. the Pitts men settled down on an offensive iaunt from the middle of the field. At this stage of the game English and Harkins, tackles, were the only two players who started with the opening whistle.
 Another Drive
 With fifty yards between them and the goal line Williams got six, Slater duplicated for another first down. Will Hams then nlC rlSnC tdckle TOT SeFen- teen yards and Slater went to the one foot line from where Peterson went over center for a touch down. Williams kicked goal from placement.
 Auburn again gained possession of the ball in the middle of the field and with Greene, Slater and Williams alternat- ing the ball was advanced to the twenty seven yard line from where 'Buckshot' Williams added three points at an easy angle from placement which concluded the scoring for the after. noon.
 Both teams used the forward pass in limited way. Howard was able to connect in some of their aerial attempts

AS TOLD BY T. A. n. (TAD) JONES
 Head Coach, Yale University

In nearly every well-balanced strug- gle-football or other-there comes stage when victory and defeat hesitate to a bit before ranging themselves with this side or that.
 Until the moment arrives one con testant may have built up an apparently winning margain and still know that it's success is not assured, while the other, though outplayed and left behind in the scoring, is not prepared to accept the losers portion; but once it passes, the result no longer is in doubt and both parties to the fray are conscious of the fact.
 One Big Inning
 In baseball this moment comes with the one ''big inning;" in boxing con test it accompanies the punch that weakens one ringster and paves the way to his knockout; in football it trips in on the heels of the touchdown or field goal which produces q total of points above which the opposition cannot hope to climb. Sometimes, of course, two op- ponents are so< closely matched that 8 draw results. But mostly this is not the case. The crucial stage, when victor and vanquished are decided, is as inevitable as the final whistle.
 In my recollection no moment was more fraught with decisive possibili- ties than the one which ticked off at the start of the second half of the bat tie between Yale and Princeton at New Haven, November 16, 1907. With it developed the greatest football strat- egy I have ever seen.
 Jones At Quarter
 Being stationed at quarterback for Yale, I had, of course, first class opportunity of watching the play un- fold. As it came on the kickoff, was standing almost under our own goal posts, did not actually participate in it, and so was as free to observe as any spectator.
 The Orange and Black and the Bull dog were we'll matched that year. But at the end of the first half this was not clearly apparent. Princeton, with a touchdown by Fullback Mccormick and a goal after touchdown, together with a field goal by Halfback Harlan, had gathered a total of ten points. It was apparent that Yale would have to come back strong in the second half to erase the dangerous Tiger lead.
 At the start of the game we had in-

GUN WINS FROM
 SULLIGENT HIGH

GUN, Ala, Oct. 18.-(Special. J. The Guin Bulldogs made one more step toward the North Alabama title by beating the Sulligent High school gridders yesterday afternoon, p to 0. The game was very slow and rough. The Bulldog offense was very cratic while Sulligent showed excellent fight ing spirit. Lampkin at end showed up we'll in stopping end runs the whole Sulligent team put up game scrap on defense. Their Offense could not function against the opposition of the Bulldogs. For Guin there was very little outstanding plays. Captain Cor bett's carrying the ball and HOlcomb's Coward run off tackle for touchdown were the outstanding performances for Guin. Weeks, the Guin full back, was injured early in the game and al- though he played the game through he could not get through consistently. Guin plays Vernon High school in Vernon next Friday and this game will have considerable effect on the North Alabama title.

PICKENS BEATS
 CADET RESERVES
Red And Black Team Downs
 Marion Scrubs, 20 To 0

REFORM. Ala, Oct. 1S.-(Special. The Red and Black warriors of Pick ems county High smashed the Marion Institute reserves here POO, in the fourth game of the season. The Pick ems eleven out-played, Out-guessed and out-generaled the visitors during the en- tire four periods, Pickens registering IS first downs against only four for Marion.
 After being held scoreless in the first quarter, Pickens came back strong in the second stanza to put over the first counter. Hildreth, alternate captain, blocked a Marion punt, and Patterson, stellar half back, scooping up the ball and racing 37 yards to the 6-yard line from where Simpson hit right tackle for a touch down. In the third period after the locals had rushed the ball to the six yard line, Coach Jackson sub stituted Captain Cox and on the first play, he clipped off six yards and an other counter around left end. Coach Jackson immediately withdrew Cox from the game, saving him for Tusca- looSa High. Simpson counted the extra point with placement kick. The last counter came in the final stanza when the fierce attack of Pickens placed the ball on the three-yard line, Simpson again bucking it over. Simpson added the extra point from placement kick, running the count to 200.
 Shepherd, who played an offensive end and defensive safety. thrilled the crowd in the second period when he re- turned Marion punt thirty-seven yards by great open field running. Simpson calling signals from full back, played q great game, both on the offense and defense. He backed up the line in fine style and tore the visitors to pieces. In the line, the work of Hop" Poole Berry and Mayors was outstanding, often going through the cadets line and tackling for losses. The visitors fought hard throughout. but could not with stand the fierce attack exhibited by the Tigers for Pickens.

 To the Howard team goes the credit of playing on par with the Tiger Gridders. Howard college was reure- sented by q team full of fight and at all times were hammering at their op- ponents for gains or to stave off gains by the Auburn bucks. N

 Allen, Auburn half, with his brilliant, broken field work returning Stevens punts and his gains around the ends was probably the stellar performer in the Auburn backfield during his regime in the first half.

MONDAY HOLDS
 BIG RING MENU
Much Interest Shown In All-Star Card At
 B. A. C.

Birmingham's galaxy of glove-slam- mers will spend the most impatient Sun day of their lives today as they sit back and wait for Monday to arrive upon the scene. What does Monday mean to them? It means the most busy Mon day night they've spent since the stork Tapped its wings through the ozone and brought them into this more or less well-known world. Monday night marks the staging of the all-star local boxing and wrestling card at the Birmingham Athletic club.
 Every man who will participate in the 46 rounds of the entertainment has been trained to the minute and Match maker Dave Evans announced Satur- day night that each participant was in superb physical condition for the test of his ring career.
 SarrOn Meets Burke
 There are no headliners, it being an all-star proposition, but the one which has been creating probably the most in- terest and the one which will prob ably bring the nights performances to a climax will be between Petey Sarron and Red Burke. Petey is the member of the American Olympic team who shipped for Paris to participate in the international boxing events. He has been back in Birmingham for some time but Monday night will mark his first public appearance with the gloves on since he got back from Gay Farce. Fans are anxious to see him in action since he has turned professional and announces that he will devote his time to boxing in the future.
 In that 10-round struggle Petey will meet a man who has waded through all local competition among the little fel- lows, n man who many think has good chance to wallop the Olmpian, and a boy who has trained for the Mon day night bout as he has trained for no former fight in his pugilistic career. Red Burke believes he can beat SarrOn Monday night. has asked for a chance at Claudio Wilson when he disposes of Petey and the club officials have prom ised him an early bout with Wilson if he is successful in earning a decision over SarrOn.
 Sam Lavoy, one of the toughest lit tie fellows in the Birmingham district, and boy who boasts a draw with Red Burke, will take on Joe Resha in an other of the 1O-round affairs. Bogie Saab, trained to the minute and in bet ter physical condition than he has ever been in his life. will battle Harry Car ter. Jimmy Smith and Young Rich will take part in the Ground curtain raiser, the only bout on the bill sched- uled for less than 10 rounds.
 Mat Tussle Good
 Quite bit of interest has also been worked up over the 10-round wrestling match scheduled for Monday night. Young Harrington. who earned draw with Tom Lacey in the spring, will go cunning for Tom again Monday night. The brother of the illustrious Dummy believes in himself sp strongly that he insisted on meeting Lacey on winner take-all basis and this was the terms agreed upon by the two men. Barring ton left to play professional baseball for the summer soon aIte rhe held Lacey to a draw, and announced upon leaving
