HOWARD FROSH
 BEAT HUNTSVILLE

Coach Al Clemons' Wills-Taylor eleven met defeat at the hands of the Howard freshmen by a score of 13-0 Friday on Berry field. Both the local scores were made in the first quarter, when the Freshmen showed the best signs of fight. Both teams seemed to lack the spirit that was shown in the game last Tuesday between the two To- cal Freshmen aggregations at Rick wood
 Coach Shelton's men received to start it off and advanced steadily by end runs and a few plunges led by Bancroft. Wills-Taylor was penalized five yards, bringing the pill to about the 20-yard line; and then a few sec onds later Bancroft carried it over for the first touchdown, all in the first minutes. Bancroft kicked for point. Again Howard received and with little resistance went for touchdown, Web Der carrying it over. Bancroft failed to kick goal.
 Once more the locals received and Hobby Wright carried it to about mid field. They exchanged punts at great loss to Wills-Taylor. The period ended with the pigskin on the visitors 36-yard line.
 After being held for two downs in the second period Bancroft punted, the ball going over the line and being brought out to the 20-yard line. After an exchange of punts the oval rested at mid-field. During the first half Brown did fine work at tackle.
 Both teams started with regular teams in the second half. Most of the third and fourth quarters found the ball on the Rats territory. Once Dad" Tip ton went for 30 yards. When the final whistle blew the ball was on the wis itors' 5-yard line.

BESSEMER AND
 LANIER TANGLE

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 14.- Bessemer and Lanier will tangle at Cramton bowl tomorrow afternoon at 2 80 o'clock. The visitors rule favor ties to win the annual gridiron com bat. Lanier had a light workout this afternoon. Bessemer may expect an attack from the air tomorrow if the Poets adhere to the principles laid down by the coaches this week.
 It would be no big surprise to see Fullback Reeves in tomorrow's game. Reeves was operated on early in the season for appendicitis and has not play ed game since. He begged the coaches to let him take crack at Ensley' $ mighty line, but he was refused.

this year is not of the calibre of the great machines of the past few years still it is composed of a majority of veterans which will represent real worth in football sense. The team is light this year and there is not a man on the squad who will tip the beam at a mark higher than 200 pounds.
 Alabama Heavy
 The Alabama eleven, on the other hand. has a heavy and powerful team. On mere power the Tide can hope to surge over the Colonels. With five men in the line who will tip the scale at 200 or better the forward wall of the Crimsons presents an awful obstacle for the light Centre backs to buck against.
 The game should be one of the great est in Birmingham's history.
 As matter of advice Secretary Bill West of the Birmingham Baseball as sociation. who controls Redwood, ad- vances the point that the only passes Ito the game Saturday will be com plimentary tickets. This is, since all seats are reserved no one will be ad- mitted unless he has a ticket with his seat number and section designated on it.

The rivals appear vel matched on the line but Dartmouth has a more formidable array of backs including "Swede" Oberlander, Dooley and Hall. Molinet, the new Cubgr star, is Cornell's back ace. s~ Penn State is another eleven whicl has come back 40 winning form after early disGsppofnments and may upset Pehnsylvania, the only major team ujhdefeated or united in the east. Harvard Has Hard Game
 Among the most important games Harvard, recognizing it's shattered forces, promises to have difficulty re. polling Brown, which gave Yale and Dartmouth sturdy battles, while Will Hams, in another New England attrac- tion, will be favored to defeat Amherst and win the little three title for the fourth successive season.
 West Virginia and Washington and Jefferson figure to triumph in two other games possessing traditional in. terest, the former against Washington and Lee and the Presidents against the Pittsburg Panthers.

(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Nov. 14.-Although to- morrow is rather lean day in South ern Conference circles, only IA of the % members coming together, there are many games in which unusual interest centers to make the program attractive for football followers. The day will bring a clash between leading teams in the southern conference and the $. I. A. A., several intersectional games are on tap and community contests of note stand out.
 Among the seven games scheduled be- tween conference members, no team meet with both boasting clear records The undefeated and unscored on GeQr' gia eleven plays Auburn, Alabama plays outside the organization in meeting Centre as does Washington and Lee in its game with West Virginia.
 The last six games between Georgia and Auburn have been uniformly close, four being decided by scores of to 2 and two ending with the score z to 5. On the record of past performances a touchdown may be regarded as guar antee of success.
 'Bama Battles Centre
 Alabama, leading scorer, in playing the colOrful Centre team, regarded as the class of the $. l. A. A., will have to continue in it's well established stride against the Colonels to win out, re- gardless of the result of tomorrow s activities, the Crimson will come up to Thanksgiving Day undefeated in the conference.
 Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech are meeting for the first time since 1920 ol,p,ni ,fh hnth institutions ported on their way to Atlanta to wit ness the renewal of the argument. Both teams have suffered the hard side of the hand of fate and will be shy some stars at the start.
 A game in which much feeling will be injected is that between the Uni versity of Virginia and V. r. l., at Blacksburg. Virginia has been de- feated by Washington and Lee and Georgia, while V. P. l., suffered rude shock last Saturday when North Car olina State turned the Gobblers back.
 Sewanee vs. South Carolina
 The University of South Carolina plays Sewanee in Columbia in a game attracting much attention. Sewanee broke into the victory class by defeat ing the University of Mississippi, while the Carolina Gamecocks have won from North Carolina State, Clemson and the University of North Carolina.
 V. NJ. I. goes from Lexington, Va, to Lexington, Ky, to play Kentucky State, the Cadets having lost three games and the Wildcats one less
 North Carolina State and Maryland are playing College Park in something of a consolation affair while Tennes- see, with no conference victory yet, meets Tulane, boasting two.
 Washington and Lee goes to Charles town. the University of West Virginia furnishing the opposition, with all to gain and nothing to lose when the Gen erals think of last years game when the Mountaineers beat them more than three score points.

HUEYTOWN WINS FROM FAYETTE March Of 80 Yards And Intercepted Pass Wins
 Game

The Hueytown Gophers evened an old score and kept a record unblemished at Bessemer Friday when they walloped the Fayette County Tigers 14 to O. An unbroken drive of S0-yards after re- ceiving the opening kick-o off Of the game, and an intercepted forward pass fol- lowed by a 90-yard run by the inter- ceptor, Captain Salter. were the tools used by the Gophers in scoring their two counters.
 Fayette kicked off to Hueytown's 20 yard line. The Hueytown eleven reg istered their initial first down of five in row and added another apd still another to bring the ball to midfield. Then Dyer went through tackle for 15 yards, to Fayette's 20-yard line. but Howard, Hueytown center, passed high over Salter's head and the Hueytown captain recovered for loss of 12 yards. From the 32-yard line two passes failed and then Porter hurled one to Dyer, who made a beautiful leaping catch. for a gain of % yards. Mclean bucked the ball across the goal line in two tries. Porter hurled Salter a passed back of the goal line for point-after- touchdown.
 Fayette received the ball Q and marched steadily down the field to Hueytown's 1O-yard line. Wright made four through the line and Savage went through 10 on triple pass play. The same play gave Fayette four more through the line and after a failure Killingsworth went five through tackle on the double pass. Savage made it first down on Hueytown's 35-yard line. Savage made five, Killingsworth and Wilson failed but. Savage passed to Wilson for 5 yards and first down on Hueytown's 20-xard line. Wright went four through the line and the first quarter ended Wilson failed at the line and Savage hurled a pass which Salter intercepted on his 10-yard line and ran 90 yards to score. Hueytown men flocked behind him and blocked off pursuing Fayette backs.
 Probably the outstanding player of game for Hueytown was Porter. This brainy little quarter called signals brilliantly and ran the ends like a demon. His passing was as true as one is likely to find on a high school eleven. Dyer also played a good game while Hammond, sub for Mclean, broke through the middle of the Fayette line near the end of the game for 20 and 30 yards on two beautiful runs on fake plays. Skates played a great game at end while o. Dinsmore stood out with his work at guard.
 KillingswOrth Stars
 For Fayette Killingsworth was the big star of the team and just as the game ended he ran 40 yards up the field from his 5-yard line. Sims played a good game at tackle while Guyton starred at end

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 14.-(Spe aD-As the time of day was desig mated as five bells from the clocktowe on the administration building, on thu Auburn campus, the Auburn Tigers lief Drake field behind and ceased prepara tion for the mammoth struggle witt the Georgia Bulldog on the banks O. the Chattahoochie, beginning at 2 D. m Saturday.

 Speculation as to the outcome of the game is not running rife in the Plains mems village. Not many predictions as to results of Saturdays game is heard on the Auburn side of the Chat tahoochie.

CTS prospects fair for a victory.
 As for Centre packers they have modest hopes on the outcome of the game and seem to believe that the team will concentrate its efforts on scoring. The forward passing system has not funtioned very efficiently this year, it appears, and only six have been tried in the last two games while 12 were tried |against West Virginia with two being Completed. However, the trusty toe of Lemon, the Colonels' all-Southern end is always menace to the opposing |team as he kicks a mean placement anywhere with the 50-yard line on the opponents end of the field.
 Centre In Good Shape
 The Centre team is in the best shape pf the season for the coming game and |xill start all regular men. CoaSh Myers brought a squad of 21 men (on he trip but the need of reliable Sub kitutes in the backfield seems to be - sidered a great handicap.
