eral games, the Crimsons have yet to display their complete assortment of plays against any eleven. They have not not saved from for anyone in particu- lar, the plays have just not been needed. But against Centre, the Tidemen can intend doing. They, too, have been sav- expect to use their all, as the Colonels effort to beat the Tide of Alabama,
 The game will bring together many of the best grid stars in Dixie. It will be regular collection of stars which, if picked for an All-Southern eleven could defeat just about any other pick. In Lemon, Gordy, Covington, Kubala and Rubarth, the Colonels have somd great men. And in Rosenfeld, Hubert, Brown, Gillie, Propst, Camp and Nc. Clintock, the Tide has some sterling players.
 Rosy And Brown On Test
 The game will decide to a great ex- tent what consideration Mack Brown and Dave Rosenfeld will be given when the time arrives to pick the All-South- ern eleven. If these flashy runners dis play the same form against Centre and Georgia as they have, against Geor- gia Tech, Kentucky and others, it will be hard matter to keep them off. The jackrabbits are primed to do their stuff, but Centre will not aid and abet them in any way. And 'Bama's three other candidates for All-Southern- Camp, Hubert and Propst-are also out to increase their prestige.
 Alabama's freshmen outfit will play the frosh eleven of Mississippi A. and NJ. college here Friday afternoon. The team laid off last weekend, but worked hard just the same. They have two jack-rabbits in Dick Hammer and Red" Brown, brother of Mack Brown, and these two youngsters can cut up. They have some hefty men on the line, who have shown wonderful form in past games.

ANNISTON HIGH
 MEETS GADSDEN

ANNISTON, Ala, Nov. 12.-(Spe- cial. l.)-Friday afternoon marks great day with the Buccaneers of the Annis- ton High school and the Denners of the Gadsden High school. These two gridiron clans will meet in Gadsden on it's high school grid field.
 The teams of these two schools meet annually in Gadsden and Anniston al ternately. The last affray was contested on the local field. The Buccaneers came out with the largest pile of scores. However, the locals are aware Of hard fight and they have been put through week of hard practice.
 With an optimistic rather than a pessimistic view the Denners have the advantage over the Buccaneers and are likely to be the winners. The locals have lost seven of their varsity men of 1925 and two guards of the 1924 squads. With this loss and playing on foreign soil the locals have a very slim chance to subdue their keen rivals. Nevertheless, the boosters of the local school think that the Buccaneers can hold the Denners to a close score.
 The Moore Kelly band of the High school will make the trip with the Buc- cancers, also large number of students and followers of the local team.

HUEYTOWN TEAM
 PLAYS FAYETTE
GOphers Clash With A Strong Eleven Friday
 At Bessemer

When the Fayette Tigers clash with Hueytown Gophers Friday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock at the Bessemer stadium two teams with perfect records will meet. The Fayette team which has lost only to the Birmingham-Southern Freshmen eleven, is making a strong bid for the north Alabama High school, championship and following their victory over the strong Marion county eleven of Guin last week they are hailing the clan of Coach Scott as the greatest that the school has ever boasted.
 Meanwhile Coach Snider at Huey- town is giving his team plenty of work in preparation for the game, which he figures will be one of the hardest of the year for him. His team is in good condition and with the return of Captain Salter to the backfield the team will be considerably strengthen. ed. In the last game the Gopher cap tain was out of the lineup.
 The probable starting lineup for Huey- town will be N. Hyche, left end; c. Dinsmore, left tackle; Huey, left guard Howard, center; O. Dinsmore, right guard Payne, right tackle; Skates, right end; Porter, quarterback; Dyer, left half; Captain Salter, right half ; Mclean, fullback.
 Coach Snider sent his eleven through a scrimmage Wednesday but will con- fine his drilling to signal practice Thursday.

A smiling, chiding captain will lead a flashy, tricky eleven into the spray" Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at Rick wood field when Centres famous Prayin' Colonels plunge into the Grim son Tide. The Colonels, with Captain Flash" Covington leading, still pray, but are not now that combination of players which made up an eleven which caused tremors to run down the spines of all opponents, but are still the color ful group of gridders which has always marked the teams of Centre college.
 In the Centre team the Alabama eleven vii meet one of its most formid- able foes of the season. Coach Wal lace Wade is preparing the Tidesmen to look for tricks of every nature in the coming contest. The two elevens have an monopoly on smart football players. Probably there are no other teams in the south which can boast of better trained men than Centre and Alabama. Coach Moran's teachings are being car ried on by his successor, Chief Myers, at Centre, while Wallace Wade has brought up at Tuscaloosa a group of gridiron performers who know the rules to perfection. The thorough course Coach Wade has given the Tidesmen in the fundamentals of the game has shown results in the great team work which it has displayed. The blocking and cut ting of the eleven have enabled the fleet 'Bama backs to go through opposing teams for long gains on numerous occa-

create opportunities from which the team would benefit.
 Jennings studied Cobb from the standpoint of psychology, as well as from mechanical playing standards. He knew that Cobb, being what he was, could not work with other men. Cobb, as he was, could not shape his play to conform with, that of others, for there was no one else near his style nor was there any other man that could fit into the system that Cobb used. He was adapted to his own system; other men were not, either mechanically or mentally.
 Center Of The Stage
 The perfect freedom that Jennings gave Cobb enabled him to cut loose. Having only himself to consider, Cobb was Tn no way hampered by signals and team play. He did engage in a certain amount of team play, but never when it interfered with his individual game. He was never subjected to any of the rules that applied to other men. He rarely ever showed up for morn ing practice and rarely ever did he report before the opening of the sea- son. Cobb never went to bat with in structions. He could bunt or hit, as he saw fit. He was not subject to the signals of the men coaching at first or third. He ran as he pleased
 While this method enabled Cobb to develop to the fullest possible extent, it made Jennings position extremely deli cate. Other players could not see why they had to report for spring training when Cobb did not. Other players could nexer see why they had to get up in the morning and go to the ball park and practice when Cobb did not. Other players could not understand why they had to be back in uniform at :50 o'clock when Cobb rarely got to the park until an hour later and sometimes was not on the field when play started substitute going to his position. These protests often reached Jennings ears and he had but one reply:
 Whats your batting average?'

WEINERT BEATS LOUIS A. FIRP0
Clever Newark Boxer Out. , points Argentine
 Heavyweight
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER ~ eased Wire tO The Ago-Herald1

ARMORY, NEWARK, N. Y., Nov. 12. There will be no blaring bands and parading armies when Luis Angel Firpo arrives back in the Argentine.
 Battered and smashed by a second rater who was heard of almost for the first time when Firpo knocked him out in the second round of previous battle, the most poor Luis can hope for now is a funeral wreath or few wisps of black crepe or some mourning friend who may meet him at the dock.
 Charlie Weinert, a Newark fighter who underweighed Luis by 38 pounds when they entered the ring here out of the once raging Wild Bull and of F rounds.
 FirpO Bloody
 Weinert covered Firpo's face with blood, blackened his eye, outboxed the South American by about 80 kilometers, and emerged from the mess virtually unscratched. Dazed and bewildered, the remnants of what was once chal- longer for the heavyweight laurels of Jack Dempsey stood up through the carnage, but that was about all.
 For the first nine rounds, his blows were intellectual and frequently failed to connect. Several times the man who knocked Demspey out of the ring and into the press seats was driven back to the ropes.
 Weinert Active
 Meanwhile, Weinert danced about the fallen hero and plugged him almost at will until the tenth round, when Firpo began to hold his own. He ap- peared to have solved Weinert's at tack. At one point he was chasing Charlie around the ring, and the round was easily his. Weinert was slowing up, and if the fight had gone 15 rounds, Luis might have obtained a draw, al- though Weinert came back from the ropes in the twelfth and was belaboring Firpo all, over the place in the last half of the final frame.

AMENDMENTS TO
 RULES PROPOSED
Mack Wants Players To Receive
 Share Of Purchase Price

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-Ban players who are sold at fabulous sums will re- ceive part of the purchase price, if a suggestion as to a change in the rules is adopted at the annual joint meeting of the major leagues in New York next month. The proposal was submitted to Commissioner Landis by the Philadel- phia Americans, and asks that when 8 player is sold for $10,000 or more, the player shall receive 10 per cent of the money involved. This proposal, among others, was sent tonight to all major league club owners, for their considera- tion prior to the winter gathering.
 Players at present are paid such amounts as the interested clubs decide at time of transfer.
 The New York Yankees have submit ted a proposal which would restrict major league clubs to fifty players, ex- elusive of ineligible or voluntarily re- tired players, prior to June 15, but pro vides that the number must be reduced between that date and August 31, to 25 active players.
 Another Proposed
 Another proposed amendment provides that no player would be assigned out right to a minor league until all the ma jor league clubs have been given an op- portunity to assume the contract of the player. When a player is sent out on option, no opportunity would be given the other major league clubs to take the assignment of the player, without waivers being obtained.
 Major league clubs would be permit ted to send players to minors on optional agreements for five years instead of two, as at present, if another suggestion is adopted.
 The Boston Americans in another proposal in the major league rules and the major-minor league rules, would eliminate the present requirement that minor league clubs shall pay a consid- eration of not less than $500 for each optional assignment of a players con tract by a major league club, and sub stitute a provision that for each such optional assignment the minor league club shall pay to the secretary of the national association, through official as- signment, two per cent of the cash con- sideration of $6 if no consideration is stipulated or if a cash consideration less than $500 or other consideration than cash is stipulated.

they had been trained carefully before they reached the age of 20.
 Among the men who do not believe any human being is going to travel 100 yards in nine and two-fifths seconds are some that believe the present world rec ord can be broken by less than one fifth of a second. Several athletic lead CTS are in favor of manufacturing new stop watches that will record-one-twen- tieth of a second. They concede that a sprinter may develop who can knock one-twentieth or even one-tenth, off the present 100 yards mark.
 When a man covers 100 yards in nine and three-fifths seconds he is fairly fly ing. There are not five men in the United States today who can run 100 yards in ten seconds flat in close com petition with any degree of consistency. There are not ten men in the entire world that can do it. Describing ath- letes as "ten-second men" is simply using a loos4 expression. When a 100 yards race is won at a big meet in less than ten seconds it becomes a na- tional sensation in athletic circles. Most of them are run in ten and fraction. Doubling the number of points be- tween the second marks on a stop-watch would probably result in few new records, but even if these marks were accepted and recorded there woulI re- main a doubt. As long as races are timed by human hands there will re- main a question as to the correctness of the time announced. Many flaws exist in timing and there are too many incapable men handling watches. The only satisfactory manner is electric timing, and until a device is invented which will insure absolute accuracy in timing, the recorded records will be un- der shadow of doubt and a nine and two-fifths record would never be fully

sions. The sure tackling of the 'Bama men has kept the goal line of the Crimson free from alien footprints with the exception of one lone intrusion when Hughes of Kentucky, raced 75 yards in a free run after intercepting a pass.
 Plenty Of Tickets
 The tickets are going fast for the game and a number somewhat over 12, GOO is expected to be registered in the aggregate turnstiles at Redwood field, but Secretary Billy West, of the Bir- mingham Baseball association, which controls the park, stated Wednesday night that there had just been turned over to E. M. Chenoweth and Company large block of tickets for both the Alabama Centre and Alabama Georgia games, so with replenished supply the local sporting goods house will be ready to receive anxious fans in large quantl- ties and furnish them with the necessary pasteboards for admittance to the game.
 "Flash" Covington, all-Southern quar- terback, will match speed with Brown and Rosenfeld, the Alabama speed merchants, and wits with Captain Pool ey Hubert, the Alabama signal-calling fullback, in the coming contest and the game should result in a brilliant dis play of football ability and strategy.
 Next to the Alabama Georgia game the coming contest is expected to draw one of the largest crowds ever to see football game in Birmingham.
