 And Waits

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 21.- A case in which the old code duelo seems to have been invoked without the strict rules of conductor the interven- tion of seconds, is being tried in the criminal court of this country today. The case is that of the state vs. Hene- gar Jordan, charged with felonious as- sault on Dan Davis, his neighbor. Both are prominent fruit growers of the Sale Creek district. They had some trouble and as a result Jordan is alleged to have called Davis over the telephone and invited him to get his gun and meet him on the road, half way be- tween their homes and shoot out their troubles. Davis accepted, got his shot gun and started out but it is charged Jordan beat him to the road and hiding behind bush waited and shot Davis as he came in sight.

 Feed the Glands
 I take gland treatments-those treat ments you read 80 much about today. feed the glands with glands. re- store their activity, build them up, by the greatest of modern methods.
 The glands are the source of youth. When their activity declines, feed them and revive them. And their only food is dessicated glands taken from young animals.
 l have proved that youth can be revived in that way. And am one of the supreme examples of the mar Felous results.
 But We Need More
 But my advisers have convinced me that we need more than glands. We aeed phosphorus to feed the nerves. We need tonics to activate all bodily functions.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-A Big Ten conference football championship is to- night almost within the grasp of 62- year-old Amos Alonzo Stagg, dean of football coaches in America, for the first time in il years.
 Tomorrow, the Maroops meet Wis consin, with a clear title in sight if they defeat for tie the Badgers.
 Stagg has competed 32 years as coach at Chicago but since 1923 one defeat or one tie has kept the Maroons just back of the leaders. This year Stagg upset "Red' Grange and H. linois by starting the game with an offensive of his own that swept H. lionis off their feet, and tied the Illini, who had been regarded as sure conference champions.
 Chicago has another tic this season on the record, with Ohio State, but so far is the only undefeated team in the conference. For the first time this year Stagg has kept practice this week secret from everyone, and a new line of plays has been developed to take advantage of the strength of the Maro- conference.
 Title May Be Scrambled
 In the other conference games to- morrow, either of which may scramble the championship, Michigan will face Iowa at Ann Arbor, while Illinois will battle Ohio State at Champaigne.
 Northwestern will furnish the opposi- ton for Notre Dame and the famous -Four Horsemen" at Chicago, with Minnesota meeting Vanderbilt at Min neapolis. Purdue and Indiana will battle for the Indiana championship

CONFERENCE TITLE INV
 GRASP OF CHICAGO
Staeg's Eleven Must Defeat Wisconsin In Order
 To Have Clear Claim To Crown

at Lafayette.
 The Chicago Wisconsin conflict probably will result in one of the great. est battles of the season. Both teams are powerful and use smashing plays. Whether Chicago, with its husky line and plunging backfield, can blow through the stronger Badger eleven is q question that cannot be decided until after the starting whistle tomorrow afb' ernoon. The Badgers have played in tough luck all season, tying Minnesota after leading the Gophers most of the game, and outplaying, Michigan in mak. ing first downs and yardage only to lose as result of tricky passes which re- suited in long runs.
 In its third conference game of tho season, Wisconsin clearly outplayed Iowa in the first half only to lose when their defense crumbled in the second.
 Michigan has not lost game sinc4 the disastrous defeat by Illinois, and with Illinois beaten and Chicago havin1 a tough barrier to hurdle, Coach Yost, o1 the Wolverines, plans to turn his war riors loose on the Hawkeyes with ins structions to win at all costs. If Wis consin should upset Chicago, Michigan will have q chance at the championship honors.
 Illinois runs up against its jinx team, Ohia State. The Illini, forced out of the Big Ten championship lead as a result of the Minnesota upset, will meet a formidable opponent in the Buckeye eleven, which displayed surprising strength against Michigan. With Red Grange viewing the proceedings from the sidelines the game promises to be a nip and tuck affair, with Ohio likely to gallop through to victory.

FAIRFIELD TIES HUEYTOWN HIGH Gophers Are Outplayed But Get Six To Six
 Count

The Fairfield high eleven upset dope by completely outplaying the strong Hueytown eleven, though doped to lose, in a 6-6 contest Friday afternoon at Hueytown. The Hueytown eleven had q tough job holding its opponents and as the game closed the ball was on the 1-yard line in Fairfield's possession with a one more down left to drive it across Hueytown's goal.
 Hueytown scored its touchdown in the first quarter when Captain Salter went over. However, Fairfield came back and evened the county when Lively crashed over the boal line for counter. The Hueytown team was somewhat crippled with the star Fullback Mclean out of the game, while Porter had not been out to practice at all this week, but the Fairfield team outplayed the husky Gophers in every department of the game.
 For Fairfield Woodall, at center, and Holmes and Lively, in the backfield, starred. For Hueytown, Howard, at center, and Salter were the stars, W hile Porter played a good game despite an injured arm.

 Hall, an elongated guard, has defi' nitely won a berth on the Birmingham Southern eleven, and Pritchett, who has been playing the position for the greater part of the season, will watch tho opening kickoff from the side line.

 Ashwander will probably start the game at tackle for the Gold and Black, and all other positions wih be filled by men who have been called upon for work there in the majority of the games of this season.

 Williams To Start
 "Bullo" Williams, who has been out of the past two games, will start at half-back for Birmingham-So Southern. Williams was one of the big stars of the Howard game last year, and will be called upon many times Saturday, prob ably.
 Captain Stevens of Howard, who has been handicapped by crippled hand in the last two games, is in fine shape for the game, and his passing and punt ing, along with drop-kicking and rune ming, are expected to comprise large measure of the Howard attack.

ALLIGATORS AND
 AGGIES ON DECK
Elevens Ready For The South's Most Important
 Clash

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 21.- Anticipating one of their hardest bat ties of the year, the Florida Gators and the Aggies from Mississippi A. and NJ. arrived here today and are all ready for action tomorrow afternoon at Cramton bowl. The Aggies did not reach the city until tonight, while the Florida squad, twenty-two strong, got the jump on their opponents by dock ing early in the morning. They went through light practice this afternoon at the stadium. Coach VanFleet, who is to retire as tutor after this year, announced tonight that his gridders are in excellent condition for the fracas.
 Fullback Middlekauf, injured in the Army game a fortnight ago, is the only luminary of the Gator eleven who will not be seen in action tomorrow. He did not make the trip and will be un- able to participate in either of the two remaining games on the Florida sched- ule. Middlekauf suffered a broken an- kle when an Army Mule kicked him in the intersectional game on the Hud- son.
 Tomorrow will be the first time since the Florida-Tech game that Jones and Newton, flashy backs, will play to- gether, as one or the other has been on the casualty list since that day. Both are outstanding backs and the Aggies will encounter great difficulty in checking their speed, followers of the Gators predict.
 Good Linesmen
 Florida will also introduce to Mont gomery fans some bright and shining lights on the line. Goldstein, all-south- ern guard last year, and Williams, tackle, are candidates for the mythical eleven again this year.
 But the Aggies from Starkville are not minus some players of unusual abil- ity. In Gatchel the Farmers have one of the best pivot men in the confer ence. His work has stood out promi- nently. Clark, a halfback, Is not ex- pected to get into the combat on ac- count of injuries. This will mean a severe handicap for the offensive steam of the team.
 While Florida is a favorite, the Ag- gies are admitted to be strong, as they won a verdict q few weeks ago over Tulane, conqueror of Vanderbilt.
 The Gators are seeking a game in Montgomery, with either Alabama or Auburn, next year, according to reports today. There was nothing definite to announce tonight, but one of the Ala bama teams will no doubt close nego- tiations with the authorities for Flor ida before the end of this week.
 The Florida A. and NJ. game is re- garded as the classic of the south this week. Practically all the major elevens will remain idle tomorrow.
