AUBURN STAGES BIG SCRIMMAGE Tigers Prepare For Tech In Thanksgiving Day
 Game

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 21.-(Special.) Scrimmaging, and more scrimmaging, and hard scrimmaging, is still being dished out to the Tiger regulars in their training for the Georgia Tech game in Atlanta Thanksgiving Day.
 Much effort is being made by the coaches and team alike to smooth out the numerous rough spots evidenced in the last two or three games. But the rough work is increasing the hospital rolls, and to date four members of the squad are under the care of the hospital attaches, receiving treatment for bruises and sprains that are keeping them out of the lineup.
 Four Stars Out
 Thursday afternoon found Salter, Turner, Ollinger and Robinson out ot uniform. Robinson, who Is an under- study for Captain Lawrence at center, is cavorting about the campus and re porting to classes on crutches.. He sustained a sprained ankle recently that has later become infected, and not much hopes are entertained for the return of the Carrollton lad to the ranks before the Manufacturing game. Turner and Salter. who constitute the bucklng de partment at fullback, appear to be rounding into condition slowly and, without additional injuries, should be in shape for the final encounter both are receiving treatment for their ail- ments at the gymnasium. Ollinger did not report at the field for Thursday $ practice and appears to be making slow progress in coming back from rather severe leg sprain.
 Regular Game
 Thursday afternoon a regular game constituted the program, and both the freshmen and varsity took their turns at both the offensive and defensive. The "rats" are training for the Tech rats and the varsity for the Tech varsity.

CHILTON WINNER
 BY BARE MARGIN
University Loses By 12-13; Me
 Nally And Hayes Star

CHAMPION. Ala, Nov. 21.-(Spe- cial)-Chilton County High won from University High of Birmingham this afternoon by the count of 13 to F in one of the most brilliantly played bat tles ever witnessed here. The visitors brought down a fine, clean playing eleven. whose forward pass attack hao the locals on the defensive through the last three periods. However, two touch downs scored by Clanton in the first quarter was not overcome.
 Chiffon scored first on straight foot ball and came back and counted on q layout forward pass which Hayes re ceived and ran the length of the tleio for the second touchdown. A Unlyer' sity player was offside on the try fol point and Clanton led, 13 to O. This point was the margin by which they were victorious.
 McNally scored both touchdowns for University. He was on the receiving end of forward passes to score the touchdowns. One of these came in the second quarter and the other in the final period. On the last attempt, Me Coy kicked goal but it was not allowed This would have tied the score.
 University, outplaying Clanton during the last three periods, threatened three times in the last half, but failed to score Once they were stopped near the goal line. A second time an end dropped pass on the 1O-yard line with an open field and the ball in his grasp, while a third time McNally, their start end grabbed a pass and went over for the winning score, but was called back when University was proclaimed offside
 Jack Hayes was the big star for Chll' ton, his running attack being respon' sible for most of the gains. Jones also played a great game. Besides the work of McNally, which stood out, Mccoy and Grabin, in the backfield, and Bar nett and Stewart, in the line, were out standing players for the visitors.

BESSEMER BEATS
 TUSCALOOSA HI
Tigers Show Much Strength In Downing
 Bears, 27-O

BESSEMER, Ala, Nov. 21.-(Spe- cial. Before a crowd estimated at about,2, ,0OO the Bessemer Tigers Friday defeated the Bears of Tuscaloosa by a score of 27 to 0. The Bessemer team which had been off-form for the last two games hit their top stride Friday and displayed a machine, which if it had gotten into action earlier in the season would have completed the year with clean slate. The entire team played championship ball with Granger standing out as all-state material. Dis playing a drive which might well be envied by the we'll known MT. Grange of Illinois, Granger plunged and dashed through the line like Ford tractor through a plate glass window. To him goes the credit for carrying the ball over Tuscaloosa's goal for all four touchdowns and the yardage through the line which was piled up to his in- dividual credit will scarcely be sur passed this season.
 Tuscaloosa got away with two of the longest forward passes seen on the local grounds this year one being for 35 yards and the other for 38 and out classed Bessemer slightly in bunting but outside of this the game belonged en- tirely to the Tigers. Bessemer was with out the services of Harris and Stouten- borough but Ward, who took Harris place at quarter ran the team like a veteran and his work deserves much commendation. For Bessemer McNeill, Captain Parsons, Taxi Jones and Jacobs did sterling work in the line while the entire back field performed in splendid fashion.
 Bessemer got away with number of long passes and Moses was success full in kicking three out of four goals.
 For Tuscaloosa Quarterback Cope land, and Fullback Suther showed to good advantage while Right End Max kell handled his position in commenda- ble style. Bessemer's backfield, for the first time, worked as real unit and their plays were almost unstoppable Moses was accurate in forward pass ing this feature of the playing netting over 100 yards for Bessemer.
 The Tigers registered IA first downs as against 4 for Tuscaloosa. Officials of the game were Referee Erwin (Drake); Umpire Cox (Georgia) i; Headlinesman Roberts (Alabama). The teams lined up as follows:
 Tuscaloosa-Center, Roby; guards, Reed and Abernathy; tackles, Powers and Stallworth; ends, Kendell and Maxwell; fullback, Suther; quarter back, Copeland; halves, Reid and Daw- son.
 Bessemer-Center, McNeiI; guards, Smith and Salmon; tackles, Jacobs and Parsons; ends, Jones and Captain Par sons; fullback, Granger; quarterback, Ward; halves. CospeF and Moses.

 OVER HARVARD CLAN
Traditional Rivalries To Be Decided On Eastern
 Gridirons In Saturdays Battles

Dartmouth, Princeton and Brown, the Crimson has an added incentive to win its final game, for not since 1SS9 has the Cambridge eleven lost the same year to both the Bulldog and Tiger. Defeat not only would break this 25- year spell but it would send the 1924 Harvard team down into history with another dismal record-that of scoring fewer points over an entire season than its combined opponents. The records to date show Harvard has tallied only 55 points to 59 for its opposition.

OVuHITy IUWery and Walker were the stars of the conflict for Ensley. The yardage these lads piled up gave them victory, and they were able to produce when the crucial test came. Lowery, too. was playing with n badly injured forehead, the seriousness of it being so great that the fullback proba- bly, should not have played at ali, But their efforts were rewarded, and great is the praise due both these luminaries
 McGonagle and Ziegler performed well on the Hanks, while the entire Enslev line did yeoman service The way tbe center of the Jacket forward wall opened up for the great plunges of Lowery was a revelation. Marston

A record world sugar crop is forecast

CONVENTION HALL HAS
UNIQUE LIGHTING PLAN

CLEVELAND, April 24-Should
the municipal plant which will light
the public hal here for the Republican
convention fail during an evening SEES
sion, the delegates would not expert
ence a moment of darkness. A soften.
ing of the illumination would be the
only change noticeable. Yet up to that
instance the mum ipal plant would
have been the only source of light
connected with the hall, which has no
storage battery. The method of insur-
ing interrupted illumination at exits,
passages and in the arena is believed
here to be unique.
AS the city plant failed, throwing
upon the switch, an intel 'cking
switch would close automatically, and
throwing on light from a commercial
company. The auditorium management
considers the plan superior to stor-
age battery in the building, which
might be neglected for lack of use.
Continuous illumination is important
to avert possible panic.
Should a cyclone or earthquake put
the second illuminating plant out of
business the commercial company has
a storage battery ready for use.
The lighting of the hall is controlled
by switchboards in various parts of
the building, the most complicated
having 191 switches.

to crush the revolutionary force which
last week were reported to have gain
ed control over the entire country,
with the sole exception of Tegucigal-

The fight for control Of Tegucigal-

a week ago and although the battle
was renewed each day, the revolution
lists and government forces did little
more than exchange ground on alter

Dispatches today said troops from
