CITIZENS BEAT
 NORWOOD CLAN

The Citizens eleven walloped the Norwood team for a 19 to 0 victory Wednesday afternoon on the Avondale field. The victory was unexpected as the Norwood team had beaten the Rhodes Park clan and the Rhodes Park bunch whipped the Citizens.
 The best playing during the encount,- CT was done by Roy Evans, who scored all the touchdowns made during the first half. Other who showed up well were, Tazwell Morton, Louis Davis, Walter Mills, Conway, and Charles Sullivan. The Citizens out played the invaders in every respect during the first half but in the last half the Norwood team staged a comeback which was almost fatal to the victors. Two of the touchdowns were made on fum- bles and intercepted passes. In the straight playing the two teams were about evenly matched with Norwood probably having the advantage.
 The Citizens and Norwood are neigh borhood teams and are composed of many boys either two light for the high school team, prohibited to play on it, or subs from the Phillips team. Several subs that played in the game are Charles Caldwell Walter Mills, Roy Evans, Henry Calahand and William Hood These local teams stage about one game week and create quite an | interest

CORNELL AGAIN
 MEETS GREENIES
Line-Up Will Be Changed From
 Last Years Eleven

ITHACA, N. Y.. Nov. 13.-(Special.) ) Only half of the red jerseyed team which overcame Dartmouth at Hanover last November will face the Big Green outfit again in the annual game at the Polo Grounds next Saturday. The Cor nell backfield, with one exception has been entirely made over and there have been substantial changes in the line since the team defeatd Dartmouth last fall.
 Both of the ends who played last year are in the line up Captain Frank l.. Henderson and Harold F. Kneen. Frank Kearney, Jr., left tackle, whose vigi- lance in recovering loose ball helped materially to let Cornell take advantage of the breaks at Hanover, will again be in the line up, but Frank l.. Sundstrom, powerful right tackle and placement goal kicker graduated last year. That position will be played against Dart mouth by a youngster, Samuel Evans, Jr., recruit from the freshman team of last season.
 At left guard Robert Morris, New York boy, will play the same position he occupied last year. Morris is a senior. On the other side of center is Emerson Carey, Jr.. another sophomore and former freshman player, who was promoted to the varsity team just be- fore the Columbia game. Like Evans he lacks big game experience.
 Frank Affeld, center last year, is again playing that position on the var sity

POETS TO PLAY
 BESSEMER HIGH

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Nov. 13.- Sidney Lanier's Poets, smarting under defeat at the hands of one Jefferson county grid eleven this week, have re cuperated from the roasting admins tered by Ensley, and are in a receptive mood for taking on Bessemer at Cram ton bowl Saturday afternoon. The Poets went through stiff practice this afternoon in preparation for their sec ond combat of the week.
 Fortunately, the locals escaped se- rious injuries from the stings of the Ensley Yellow Jackets. Every player who started in the Armistice Day Fra cas is ready to fight Bessemer off. It was the steady hammering of the heav- fer opponents that wore the locals down in the last half of the Ensley game, and if Bessemer presents a similar driving attack Saturday the Poets will need worlds of stamina to hold their own.
 While not boosting of a victory, the local plucky outfit expects to be in top condition and to fire their heaviest guns from the start. The Poets realize the magnitude of their task of stopping team that lost to Ensley by a lone point a few weeks ago.
 More than 4,OO0 spectators turned out to the Lanier- Ensley game, estab' fishing a record attendance for high school gridiron struggles in the capital city. Another big crowd is expected to witness Saturdays game.

ALABAMA MUST STOP
 CENTRES COLONIES
To Claim Undisputed Dixie Title Will Have To
 Win Next Two

lucky in not having any of their stellar performers hurt this year and every one at the Capstone is praying that such will continue for the rest of the year.
 Tide Leaves Friday
 The Tidesmen will leave here late Friday afternoon. The great majority of students will leave on special trains that afternoon. while the rest will jour ney over on other special trains Satur- day morning. Birmingham will feel their presence all of Saturday the greater part of Sunday,
 Two Crimsons are going to be watched closely Saturday by the experts and thousands of others. They are Johnny Mack Brown and Dave Rosenfeld. These two have cut up this year on the gridiron, but past performances will be lost unless they repeat some of their spectacular runs Saturday. And their work in Saturdays contest is to count heavily on the selection of an all-South- ern eleven later in the year.
 'Bama Set
 'Bama's set for the game. The Gap stone looks fer the tightest battle of years at Redwood, with neither team holding the best end of dope. Centre has not yet cut loose all her attack this year, but has shown as much as the Tidesmen on the offense. It will be a strong line against strong line, a backfield of stars against backfield of stars. Flip a coin and pick, say the Capstone, but the Crimsons are going to fight hard and hope to win.

.NEBRASKA-NOIRE
 DAME FEATURES
Minnesota Will Probably Give Red Grange Lit
 tie Trouble
By HAROLD ANDREWS ,neciaI Leased Wire to Age-Herald.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Since Mime sota cannot be considered as another world for Harold Red" Grange to con- ouer, and the other big ten games are to be flair and mild," the football fans in the middlewest are working up an emotional stampede over what will hap pen Saturday when Notre Dame tries to slap Nebraska in the face with her fist.
 According to an alumnuS who saw Nebraska make waffles out of "DeaI Alma Mater" in 1923 and 1922, Notre Dame will be willing to curl up and die if the Cornhuskers can only be reduced to corn meal.
 "We don't care so much about los ing a game. It wouldn't be so bad ii the Army or Princeton topped us off now and then" explained the alumnus but somehow or other we are unable to lose to Nebraska and feel right about it. If Nebraska wins Saturday, well lsave insomnia for eight days"
 The game will be played at South Bend, Indiana. Word from Lincoln has it that the Cornhuskers will gallon out on the flelu on cruCcneS, several Oi their champion heavyweight inemen having been injured in practice during the week. None of Notre Dame's stars according to reports, is wearing anti septic bandages, and it seems that none of the alumni need worry about losing any sleep.
 Red" Grange and the other mem. bers of the Illini team are expected to chase the Gophers into their holes dur ing the first few minutes of play, Min. nesota having done little this year to elicit beam of sunshine from the most optimistic.
 Here in Chicago the football menu will be supplied by the Maroons and Northwestern. The Chicago line is one of the strongest in the middle west It was almost solid concrete for Red Grange, and it will probably be more than solid concrete for Northwestern.
 Other games of interest and import. ance will be the Iowa Wisconsin game at Madison, Wis, and the Michigan. Ohio State game at Ann ,Arbor, Mich.

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 12.- final workout here Friday afternoon mingham to meet the Centre Colonels in their next to last game of the sea son.
 Centre is one of the two teams in Dixie which must be forced to bow to the Crimsons before Alabama can be crowned Southern champions By win ming both of these games, the Grim son eleven will rate s. c. and Dixie champions.
 One lone touchdown has been scored against the Crimsons this year, this coming on 6 beautiful run of 97 yards last Saturday by Hughes on an in- tercepted pass. Alabama can hardly expect to hold her goal line free from other scores with such teams as Centre and Georgia remaining to be played. Both have some very fleet backs and men who can place-kick and drop-kick well.
 Out To Win
 The Tidesmen are going in the game to win Saturday. A victory against Centre is very much desired, but no one knows better than the men on the squad what faces them in the Centre Colonels. No game will probably bring more stars together than this game will Saturday. But Alabama is going to fight as hard as Centre will, and upon this spirit of fight will hang the tale.
 Hulett Whitaker. the man who makes reputation for others, is one of Alabama's big men that Centre will have to take care of Saturday. Whit taker is one of the best interference runners in Dixie and one of the most effective blockers. And he carries the ball to the line with every bit as much force as Captain Hubert does. Whitaker is playing his last year and is doing all that he can to make his last his greatest one.
 While Alabamas blocking has been good this year, much emphasis has been placed on it this week. In fact, it is hard to say what special phase of the game has not been emphasized. The Crimsons are working hard. Coach Wade has been showing them hard and the men have buckled down to the work When they quit practice in the after noon, they are tired out.
 Crisp Busy
 Assistant Coach Crisp, who missed Saturdays game because of illness, has been up and at 'em this week, al- though he is still slightly i'll. Coach Wade and Coach Crisp have been tend ing to the linemen and Coach Cohen has been tending to the backs. And all three coaches get together during scrfm- mage and watch every detail of their play. /
 Langhorne. Bamas fiery topped tackle, has been i'll during the week, but is practically certain to play Satur- day. The Tidesmen have been extremely

GIANTS AND SOX
 FINISH TOURNEY
Foggy Weather Obstructs View
 At Final Game

PARIS, Nov. 13.-The European tour of the Giants and White Sox un- der the command of John McGraw was completed here in a game shrouded in the thick and sloppy brand of fog that is known only on this side of the At lantic.
 The spectators, of whom there were fully 500, couldn't see the ball at all and the handful of sporting Frenchmen who have been endeavoring to understand the game disgustedly gave up when the thick weather shut most of the playing field from view.
 School children had been admitted to the grounds for a free lesson in the American game, but they were bored and restless until Hughie Jennings tossed a baseball among them. The youngsters tried to throw and catch the ball but finally placed it on the ground to be kicked about in a mock soccer game. lt
 When the game broke up some one asked Hank Gowdy who won.
 Hank said he thought the White Sox won, 8 to 2 but he couldn't say for sure.
 Most of the players are leaving Sat urday.

TIGERS ON TRAIL
 OF YALE BULLDOG
Princeton Has Two Com plete Backfields To
 Use Saturday

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Tiger was caked and the Bulldog leashed after light exercise at Princeton and Yale yesterday in finishing preparations for their grapple Saturday in Palmer stadium in Princeton.
 Bill Roper has trained the Tiger after bitter experiences in his early attempts. Goaded by defeat and a tie, the Orange and Black redeemed itself by it's victory over Harvard Saturday and will face the New Haven foe with confidence. Two sets of teeth have been provided for the coming combat Williams, Slagle, Gilligan and Weeks comprise the set which snips at the enemy and Dinsmore, Caldwell and Sig man, the set that grasps and never relinquishes its hold.
 Bulldogs Rehearse
 The Bulldog, engaged in dummy re. hearsal, will indulge in a signal drill today and on Friday leave for practice at Palmer stadium.
 Harvard, having shifted Captain Greenough from tackle to center, filled the gap with Fordyce from the second squad and Kilgour, weighing 19O pounds, to the backfield. Kilgour has played every position but quarterback
 Cornell will face Dartmouth at the Polo Grounds with only half of the team that conquered the New Hamp- shire eleven at Hanover a year ago The only regular from last years team in the backfield is Robert Patersotn. Isaly and Molinet, the latter a Cuban, 19 years old, who has starred in recent engagements, will be new faces to the Indians.
 Cornell Meets Penn
 It will be Dartmouths last contest while Cornell on Thanksgiving Day, will attempt to humble Penn, the only undefeated and united eleven of prom thence in the east.
 Columbia believes that it has mas tered many of the plays centered about Harry Wilson which are likely to be tried when it meets the Army at West Point. Pease and Koppisch, the run ming aces of the Columbia attack were absent yesterday but will be back in uni. form for final practice today.
 Penn's undefeated eleven has ar. rived at Absecon, N. J., to rest before attacking Penn State in what is re- garded by Coach Lou Young as the crucial contest of the season.

TECH-VANDY GO
 IS BIG AFFAIR
Two Really Great Elevens Will Battle To A
 Decision

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 13.--With the Golden Tornado finally travelling at top speed, and the vaunted Vanderbilt Com Odores also now at the height of their 1924 form, the eyes of the football south will be trained on Atlanta Saturday, as these two great leaders of the South ern Conference grapple. Fully 10000 fans, backers of the two institutions, were expected to file into the big con- crete stadium for the game.
 Both Tech and Vandy suffered a slight slump two or three weeks ago, but snapped out of it last Saturday and today are standing ready to spring at each other, for the winner will emerge as one of the truly great .elevens of this campaign.
 Tech showed surprising strength against l.. S. U. last Saturday, even though 10 of the varsity players were on the sidelines because of injuries. With all of these men but Merkle, great end, assured of playing, and the pos sibility of his return to the lineup, Tech should be stronger Saturday than at any time since the Tornado swept Penn State off the field beaten team for the first time since these two teams started playing.
 Vandy Comes Back
 Vanderbilt refound it's strength last Saturday, and using a deadly long for ward pass, made the Mississippi Aggies, conquerors of Tulane, which had beaten Vandy,> look sick. Tech must stop this great passing attack if she is to win this game today.
 The Tech backs have been drilled in cessantly in the method of stopping this pass, and if Vandy works it successfully it will be no fault of the Tech coaches.
 This is the first time Tech and Vandy have met in football since the fall of 1920 when Tech defeated the Com modores in Nashville. This game was doubly important because it was in that fray that Red Barron had his jaw broken and then played the remained of the season with it bound together with copper wire. .
 That was the last time Tech and Vandy have played. It is an odd fact that when they resume playing, Carter Barron, illustrious brother of Sthe i'm mortal Red, will be in the Tech lineup Saturday.

Centre Prayin' Colonels
 An Eleuen Of Veterans

LEXINGTON, Ky, Nov. 13.-(Spe- ciaD the state championship tucked safely under their belts and an impressive and decisive victory over Tennessee to their credit, the Centre Colonels once more headed southward tonight, bound for Birmingham and their Saturday clash with the Crimson Tide of Alabama. The squad, coaches and about twenty followers left Dan- vile at Il 80 tonight and will arrive in Birmingham before noon tomorrow morning.
 Wednesday afternoon saw the Lieu tendants lined up against Meyers clan and lengthy scrimmage ensued Tn which the yearlings used all plays and formation against the varsity. The Colonels experienced quite little diffi- culty in stopping the youngsters, but managed to keep their goal line untarn- ished throughout the afternoons work out.
 Rubarth May Be Out
 Rubarth, first string guard, was not allowed to take part in the scrimmage but ran signals with the first team. It is still doubtful if he will start against 'Bama, but if he is not ready, Priest, Sophomore lineman, should prove ca pable understudy. Today's' workout, while not as hard and long as Wednes- days session, kept the Colonels in check stadium for quite while. This was the last hard workout for the Alabama game for Meyers will send his charges through only a short signal workout in Birmingham tomorrow afternoon, in or der to get the kinks out of their systems.
 Centres record of but one defeat and that to an eastern team looks impress sive, but the Danville aggregation will have to step some to stop the team that smothered Tech, Mississippi and Ken lucky in the last three weeks. The Colonels, with their never-say-die spirit that has characterized Centre to teams in the past, are always tough customers and are likely to break loose at any time.
 In Rabenstein, Covington, Wilson and Cord, the Gold and White have very formiable attack. Gordy, line plunger

PREP BATTLE AT
 WOOD IMPORTANT
WOodlawn And Shelby Both Undefeated This
 Season

The game that Woodlawn plays against Shelby County High Saturday morning at 9 :45 o'clock at Redwood field will decide whether the Colum- biana clan or the Junior Colonels still have claim for the high school state championship. Both teams are unde- feated so far this season and both have won over some mighty foes. Wood lawn has played great football in ev- cry game and has visions of the state crown. but Shelby has equally as good chance and will put up as good battle as has been seen by high school fans.
 Some of the men who showed up good in previous games for the Wild Cats are Captain Finley, a 200-pound last seasons 8 all-state end, Cooper, another end, and Looney and Bird in the back field. Teers is another ace of the team. Bird and Looney have been doing the SCOT ing and Cooper has been helping out wonderfully with his pass work. Fin ley is one of the best all around players in the state. He is the mainstay of the eleven and a stellar player.
 Stump Clarke, Baron of two years ago and Lookout this past season, coach of Shades Cahaba last season, and all- southern end when he played on the University of South Carolina's team some years ago, had been added to the staff as assistant coach to Coach Lillie of the Shelby County High school team. The two coaches have some good ma terial and are expected to bring fight ing team here Saturday.
 CoIonels Work Hard
 The Junior Colonels, in spite of the thick layers of dust covering their field back of the Woodlawn school. are prac- ticing hard in an earnest effort to come out on top this season. The whole student body is back of the team, and, as they say, "We are planning on mak- ing it season we will never forget" Coaches Hood and Kelly are giving their squads everything they have and seeing that they have plenty of work every day. The Junior Colonels only play two more games. This terrible com bat of weighty importance Saturday with the Columhbiana aggregation is followed by rest before they tackle their foe of foes. the Ensley Yellow Jackets, on Thanksgiving morning.
 Chandler did such good work during the last few games that he has wedged little Pig" Allen out of his place on end, but it is not doubted that Pig will see service in the coming encoun- ter. Allen was a sub last year and he showed up fine when he played. Rhudy, one of. the hardest workers on the team and Woodlawn's best guard, has been shifted into tackle where he is expect ed to do his stuff against the Wild cats. Nunnally, too, has been hitting it hard. His end runs are as neat as one can find.
 Saturdays tilt is one of great i'm portance and promises to be hum- dinger for thrills. A good size crowd is expected to be in the bleachers when the whistle blows at 9:45 at Rick wood field.
