PHILLIPS AND ENSLEY / TEAM WORKING HARD
Teams Will Have All Regulars In Game Friday
 Afternoon At Redwood Field

any prep team in the state. However, they will have to do good work to show themselves superior to Sanford and An. derson. In the pass work both teams seemed to be a little weak, but it is hard to say just what the trouble is. Coach White, with this in mind, sent his warriors through a long practice on passes Monday and will probably give them great deal more before the big day. Woodlawn fans will be watching for the result of this game. When tho Junior Colonels met Captain Sanford's men, they gave them beating by . score of % to z. Unless Ensley gives them as bad a beating the Woodlawn fans will probably expect to take the honors this year. However, Phillips has stronger and more experienced team than she had then and will be able to give a much better showing.
 Both Teams Strong As yet both teams are expected td send in the regular line-ups, possibly with few minor changes. Who knows but what the Crimsons will upset the dope?

HARVARD
 HOPES FOR WIN
Critics Favor Yale But Crimsons Say They'll
 Upset
By CARL A. HUBER

(Special Leased Wire to Age-Herald.
 BOSTON, Nov. 1S.-In spite of the wretched showing made thus far by Harvard's football team, Crimson fol lowers are keeping their chins high and warbling their customary predic- tion-"fait Harvard will rise to the occasion against Yale.
 Since the late Percy Haughton took himself away from the Cambridge insti- tuition, the Crimson invariably has gone into the Yale struggle a very low underdog. But always Harvard under graduates and alumni recalled days when other "underdog" teams defeated su- perior Yale teams, and persuaded them selves to vision another such surprise ; they're doing it again this year, even though the Experts" already have concluded Harvard hasn't any more than a worm in an aquarium.
 However, Harvard psychology, self generated optimism and what not to one sid,, a mediocre defense which appeared against Brown last Saturday is the one factor on which Crimson Dopesters are passing their hopes.
 If the Crimson can beat Yale to the charge and pile up Ellis speedy backs before they get started, the big event of the coming weekend may furnish plenty of thrills. But all year the John Harvards have waited for plays to come to them, and there is good reason to think they'll play the same kind of a game against Yale.

The Umpire
BYH. G. SALSINGER

The defense at Harvard has been probably the best in the country, re- gardless of the well-advertised virtues of Yale defense. We have not the com parative figures at hand but it is our impression that less touchdowns have been scored against Harvard in the last 20 seasons than against any team of major ranking in the country. The record books will bear out the value of the Harvard defense.
 Many coaches can we'll ponder over the lesson that Haughton has left be- hind. There a number of coaches who fail season after season although the material under their command looks capable enough. They fail because they do not consider the particular skill of the individual players nor their mechan- ical and mental limits. They set down a system of offense into which their players do not fit and they evolve defense that is likewise beyond the individual means of their men.
 The best football play ever devised will fail absolutely if the players are incapable of executing it. Haughton realized that and kept it in mind. He tried to go no further than his play CTS could go and he suited the play to the individual. This common sense method is the Haughton system. It will always live.

J. DUNDEE MAY
 RECLAIM TITLE

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-Johnny Dundee, former worlds featherweight champion, has changed his mind about vacating the title and he may reclaim it, Charley Johnson, Dundee's manager admitted Tuesday.
 If Dundee, after his return from his boxing tour in Europe, finds he can get down to the weight again without losing his strength, he will claim the title when he returns to this country.
 Meantime the first of the elimina- tion contests arranged by the New York boxing commission to select q successor to Dundee will be held at the Madison Square Garden Friday night despite any move on the part of the former holder of the title.

SEWANEE LOOKS
 TO VANDERBILT
Tiger Prepares For Crack At Ancient Foe For
 Thanksgiving

SEWANEE, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-(Spe cial. l.)-Eighteen Sewanee Tigers re turned to theor mountain lail having tasted victory for the sec ond time straight. They went tt South Carolina ruled the underdog but came back the noble victor by thu score of 10 to 0. The Gamecocks put up a stubborn difense that prevented the score being greater than 1t was Sewanee made twelve first downs tC their opponents one and at one tl.le tht ball went over on the en-inch line.
 Close followers of the Purple arc convinced that the team this year IS the most formidable since that ot 1921 de spite setbacks at the hands of Ogie thorpe and Carson-Newman. She of fers no alibis but only awaits Thanks giving Day when the ancient foe, Van derbilt, is to be met. A redemption is far greater than alibis and the fight ing Tigers are determined to find Ii against the Commodores. It has been ten years since Sewanee has beaten Vanderbilt and it is the undying ambi- tion of every football player that sees action on this mountain to be on the team that licks her.
 BarKcf "A SCdf
 Little Zane Barker, quarterback for the Tigers wreathed himself in glory against Carolina. One paper went SC far as to dub him Barker the Superb. ' He averaged five yards every time he ran with the ball beside returning punts around ten yards each time. His gen. eralship was unquestionable and he is an important cog in the passing ma. chine. Barker suffered an injury in the Kentucky game that hampered SC. riously his work against Mississippi and Oglethorpe but his return to form was evidenced Saturday.
 The whole Tiger backfield was said by the Carolinians to be the fastest that they have encountered this season. This is a compliment for the Gamecocks have met North Carolina, Georgia and Fur. man. Composed of Barker, Mahony Harris and Gibbons as regulars with Guitar and Powers as subs they should make an impression on Wander bilt. With Wakefield for the Commo- dores, admitted to be the best end i'll the south, and Gooch for Sewanee, the people of Nashville will see in action

 Athletic committees of the two col leges also stressed the fact Tuesday night that high school students who had availed themselves of the opportunity of obtaining students activity tickets at reduced prices should assemble at the special gate for these admissions. None other than high school students will be admitted through this gate.
 Large Attendance
 As the two squads prepare t at- tempt and break the 66 tie which was in vogue as the referees whistle brought the bloody battle to a close last season, more and more does it seem that the attendance record for this annuel event will be smashed Satur- day, and that as large a crowd as saw Centre swamp Alabama last Saturday will be on hand.
 The Alumni associations joint lunch con Tuesday that all Birmingham mer- chants would be asked to decorate win dows especially for this big local day, and that all merchants carrying ads in the Magic City newspapers would be urged to devote part of their space at the top of ads from now on in whooping things up for the fight of the year.

DERCY HAUGHTON recently
 passed on to that kingdom where
 all systems are perfect, where plans never miscarry, where there are no fumbles, no breaks, no mistakes. He left behind him a system that IS still being used and that will continue in use as long as football is played. As head coach at Harvard he invented and developed what has been known ever silce as the Haughton System of play
 A great deal of secrecy was given to he Haughton system. It as cloaked n mystery as far as the public prints were concerned. To those with a thorough knowledge of football funda- mentals and the general technique of play there was no mystery. The sys- tenn was, on the contrary, simple.
 Most of the big things in life are not complete. The Harvard system that Haughton developed was not com plex. It was the exact opposite. -,Haughton simply built the play to suit the player, instead of trying to make the player fit the play. He reckoned only with individual ability.
 The trouble with many football
  gardless of the human material at their command. They construct a certain plan of attack or defense without talk ing into full or accurate account the limit of the individual units of their machine.
 Any system in football, baseball or any other sport is good only when the physical, mechanical and mental abil- ity of the individual players are equal to it.
 Haughton realized that no play was good unless his players had the ability to perform it. So he devised only plays that they were capable of executing. He fitted the play to the player. That was the Haughton system of attack and there is certainly nothing complex or amazing about it. Haughton sim ply used common sense.
 In devising plays he u;ed the indi- ridual ability under him for open play, for deception, for versatility. He GOV cred as many angles of attack as he as the players could execute.
 While Haughton was fitting plays to players Yale continued trying to fit players to plays. Yale clung to the old system, the style of attack that others had discarded. The result was that Harvard climbed to the peak and Yale receded more each season.
 On defense Haughton built with equal soundness. His defense, like his offense, was always just as good as his players were able to make it. Other coaches, who tried to convert players not suited for particular systems to those systems, failed and observers won dered why the coach was unable to win with the material he had.

STRAINED THUMB
 HANDICAPS WILLS
Prevented His Knocking Out
 Firpo, Claims Harry
(Rx Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-A sprained thumb, suffered in the first round of his match with Luis Angel Firpo at Boyles, Thirty Acres in Jersey City September II, was the only thing which prevented Harry Wills from knocking out the Argentine, Wills said today.
 Exhibiting badly swollen thumb joint on his left hand, Wills today ap- peared before the state athletic com mission in answer to a summons re- questing his presence to confer on a possible match with Tommy Gibbons, the St. Paul phantom. Wills declined the match because of his bad thumb and this injury had handicapped him seriously in the Firpo fight.
 He said in the first round he jabbed with his left hand and in so doing sprained the member and making it un- fit for use during the remainder of the match. This, he explained, was why he fought the battle with his right hand.

SP0RTSI F00TBALLGOLF IENNIS>B0xING[S

Both coaches, Stillwell and White, are putting their squads through hard work for this last week before the big game which will be staged be- tween Phillips and Ensley Friday after noon at Redwood field at 2 80 o'clock. One of the largest crowds which have attended a prep game this year is ex- pected. Local fandom is looking for ward to one of the hardest fought games of the season and will probably get their wish because Ensley is yet undefeated and will have to overcome the Phillips eleven in order to compete Woodlawn for the city championship.
 The Phillips outfit, who have already met defeat three times this year are going to put up terrible fight to pre- vent another beating. If the Crimsons put anything into the game like they did in that game against the Chatta- nooga game about the middle of the sea- son, the game promises to be stellar af- fair.
 Guin vs. Marston
 "Red" Guin, the Phillips star punter. will meet some real competition when he will come up against Bob Marston, of the Yellow Jackets aggregation. Con trary to the thoughts of most fans Woodlawn had the advantage of the Crimsons when it came to bunting when those two locals met. As things look now, Marston will be able to show Phillips some bunting that they haven't seen in some time. Coach StillwelPs linemen will have to be careful with suburban punter in more ways than one for if he ever breaks loose around end it will take hard swift fighter to stop him. .
 Manly, Jackson and Country" Low rey, the other three Ensley backfield men, will bear watching, also as they have all shown good work throughout the year. Coach "Cannopball' White has a fine sub-quarter to call out in case Manley is taken out. In this he has the advantage over Stillwell, because if Gravilee has to come, Perry will have to be taken from half to fill the position.
 Smith, the heavy Crimson tackle, got his hand broken in the game against Duval. However, this will not keep him from the game Friday, luckily for Phillips. Otherwise both teams are in good condition. McGonagle and Zeigler, the ends for the Yellow Jackets, are onsidered by some to be the finest on

With the fight of the year only three days away, when Birmingham-Souther meets Howard at Redwood Friday things foo.ballcally took on an aided impetus Tuesday. Coaches Drew and Gillian sent the Panther and Bulldog charges through a stiff scrimmage at Munger and Berry fields respectively the Kiwanis club was extended an invi- tation to attend the game in body and accepted; the Baptist and Methodist Alumni associations held a rollicking luncheon at the Old Colony club rooms at the Tutwiler hotel, and E. M. Chen oweth announced a sell-out or all the sections he had held for sale in re- served seats and sent out and corralled other sections which other downtown stores were selling.
 Announcement was made by the ath- letic committee of the two schools in charge of the ticket sales Tuesday night that reserved seats had been placed on sale with Chenoweth, thus centralizing the ticket selling and avoiding con- fusion.
 Second Club To Accept
 The Kiwanis club was the second luncheon club of Birmingham to accept the invitation C. the two colleges, the Exchange club members having voted to attend the game in a body at their Monday meeting. Secretary Harry Brad. ley of the latter organization urges that all members get in touch with him as he has acquired tickets for them The box seats running parallel with the gridiron will be given over entirely to these civic and luncheon clubs of Birmingham. The box seats are sta toned on the north side of the tielG.
 Secretary Billy West, of the Bir- mingham Baseball association, also stated Tuesday that ticket-holders could avoid confusion at the par :, which was so noticeable in tbe Alabama Centre games by making mental notations of the following facts:
