SIKI REPLACES
 P. BERLENBACH
Paul, With Injured Left Hand,
 Calls Off Fight

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-A sudden change in the program for the feature show at Madison Square Garden Friday was made necessary when Paul Berlen- bach, who was to have fought Tony Marullo in 12-round encounter, loped into Frank Flournoy's office Wednesday with sad tale about an injured left hand and allowed as how he wouldn't be able to participate.
 Flournoy, who arranges the scraps at the garden, when he had recovered suf- ficiently from his surprise, reached for the phone and after few hours frantic calling, announced that the garden would do business as usual and that none other than Battling Ski would fill the place left vacant by Berlen- bach.
 It Is doubtful whether the substitute bill will cause the box office much trou- ble as the original. Siki has had a rather dismal time, of it this year in his three bouts. In January he knocked out Staabenau in the second round of their fight at Buffalo, but since then his record has been anything but good. He fought twice in August. He was outclassed by Homer Smith in ten rounds at Buffalo and Lorraine, Ohio, on August 21 in his last battle, he re- fused to go on with Mike Conroy after the eighth round.
 Berlenbach claimed that he had dis placed the second metacarpal bone of his fighting hand. Although there are no bones broken he has decided not to take any chances.

Y. M. !. PREPARES
 FOR KENTUCKY
Flying Squadron Takes No
 Chances With Wildcats

LEXINGTON, Va, Nov. 12.-(Spe- cial)-Undaunted by their unexpected 80 defeat at the hands of the North Carolina Tarheels, the Flying Cadets of V. M. I. have buckled down to a pro- gram of thorough offensive and defen- sive preparation for the Kentucky game, Captain Carl Hammond and his men have determined that the Wildcats will not benefit by the same errors that cost V. M. I. several chances to sew up the Carolina game.
 All of the members of the Flying squadron came out of the tussle al Chapel Hill uninjured, though with the usual bruises and muscle sorness. In- addition to the 26 players who made the Carolina trip, Gene Ferguson, star center, will be available for use against the Wildcats. Ferguson was sent by Coach Blandy Clarkson to Yungstown, Ohio, to be patched up by the famous Bonesetter Reese last week. When Ferguson left Lexington he could not walk without assistance, but as the re- suit of a few minutes in the hands of the Youngstown miracle worker he has been able to take part in practice since the day after his return to barracks.
 Coaches Pleased
 sThe coaches are pleased with the bril- liant defensive work of Tom McCracken and Bo Clements, and are relying on these stars to do great deal towards stopping Kentucky's attack, led by Captain Sanders and Kirwin. Me

OHIO GRIDDERS
 .'.. PROVE HEROES
Team Makes Valiant Stand After All Are
 Vaccinated
(By Associated Press

ADA, Ohio, Nov. 12.-A new type of gridiron battle--that of vaccination versus football-has just come to light here involving one of the most valiant, but vain efforts of a moleskin squad to uphold the honor of its school. That it failed, however, is secondary, for the athletes staunchness in entering the fray proved heroes still live in this knightless age.
 Last Saturday morning athletic and medical authorities at Ohio Northern University gathered in serious little group and considered this question {: s"Shall we drive the boys into this game or ask for cancellation"
 This situation existed because the entire football squad, with seven other students, had been vaccinated the previous week by members of the Ohio state board of health, following the discovery of a mild case of smallbox among the student body. With a team of championship calibre it seemed to the tiny group that there just must be some way to keep our boys physically fit and not undergo the censure of cancelling the game, yet at the same
 
 Weaken Under Strain
 Ohio Northern lost the game 14 to O after holding decision, her opponent, scoreless in, the first half. Weakening physiques brought on by high tempera- lures and unfit bodies caused her line finally to give way under constant pounding of souls within and opponents without.
 Deacon" Lynch, end and star puet- CT, carried a temperature of 102 de- grees and its attendant weakness throughout the entire game; Boop, reg ular tackle, was forbidden to play by parental objection; Herge and Katt- man were so i'll they could not enter the contest; Captain Kerchner and quarterback Keene suffered every minute from broken vaccinations, Swis- ser, fullback, underwent lameness in the back; Bowyer, playing in Kattman's place, was kept in ice packs all night Friday prior to the game; the men on the bench were laboring under the same circumstances, fighting a losing battle and giving their all for their alma mater under conditions which possibly might have resulted in per manent injuries to themselves.
 Thomas J. Small, executive secretary of Ohio Northern, relator of the story, said 1t was neither an alibi for the de- fear nor bear story, but a tribute to crew of men who fought for their school under conditions scarcely ever paralleled in gridiron history.

SIMPSON PLAYS
 SAINTS ELEVEN
St. Bernard And Tornado Clash Saturday Morn
 ing Munger Bowl

Simpson and St. Bernard will stage terrific battle on Munger bowl Satur' day morning at 10 o'clock when two of the hardest fighting but small elevens of the state lock honors. The two teams have met twice before on the gridiron with honors even, as Simpson won their first meeting while St. Bernard came out victorious in the struggle last year which was played in Cullman.
 Both teams will have lighter and probably not as strong combinations as met on the field battle season back However, the fighting spirit which car ries both through many a struggle will still be prominent, and a real conflict is expected. It is Simpsons time to win, according to the turn about stuff, and the Tornado is determined to do that thing, while Coach Stephens and his band of Saints are equally determined to duplicate their feat of last year.
 Slim Neese will have his Panther eleven in good shape for the fracas Saturday, and the chubby Tornado mentor is piling up work during the week in order to be in perfect condi- tion. The shifting of Lewis to tackle, with Currie taking the center post, seems to have obtained fine results, while the remainder of the team is the same as has been starting all the Simpson conflicts.
 The Saints have several aces around whom they have built their offense as well as defense. Captain Slovensky, a Birmingham boy, is considered the star of the team, and has been made the chie1 amount of gaining for St. Bernard this season. St. Bernard has lost two games, one being to the strong Hueytown Gophers by two touchdowns a short time ago.

TUSCALOOSA TO
 MEET JEFFCOHI
Wildcats Working Over time For Battle With
 Bears

Jefferson and Tuscaloosa meet at Baird stadium Friday afternoon in one of the feature grid tussels of the local high school menu. Both teams have made extra good records in prep circles, and each team will make every effort to gain the decision Friday in order to raise their standing for the season.
 The Wildcats pulled the unexpected when they trounced the Bessemer Tigers last week, and due to the fact that their victory was not of the fluke variety but well earned, the locals will probably be favorities in Fridays clash. While Jeffcohi was winning, Tuscaloosa was losing their second struggle of the sea son, their conquerors being the Colonels iously been defeated by two-point margin by Pickens county, while they were held to a tie by Lanier.
 Wildcats Has Lost Two
 Jefferson has lost to Shelby county and then to Ensley, while they barely nosed out over University high, to 6.
 The Wildcats have been working overtime during the past week, spurred on by the great victory over Bessemer, and they should be in great shape, men, tally and physically, for the Tuscaloosa tilt. With all his regulars back in harness for the first time in several games, the locals should be at their top strength. With Dismukes and Barton on the line, and Robert Taylor and Pa tillo, of the backs, to carry on, they will be hard to stop.
 The game will be called at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. -.-..---

Three Losses In Row Causes Cavaliers To
 Work For Revenge

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 12.- Special )-Virginia' varsity eleven has had enough of defeat for three games in a row with the small end of the score has left the Virginians ach- ing to beat Virginia Polytechnic in- stitute in the game at Blacksburg next Saturday.
 But these same three games have left the charges of Coach Earle Neale bat tered and bruised. It was fortunate that none of the. regulars were hurt in the clash with Georgia and though many of them will have to be rested this week, the coaches hope to present the full strength of the eleven against Tech.
 Armistice Day was marked by no cessation of the preparation for hosti- ities on the part of the Virginians, but the afternoon was rather marked by the intense drill that Coach Neale gave his regulars.

BULLDOGS PLAY MAJORS FRIDAY Howard Squad Leaves For Mississippi Thursday
 Night

Bulldogs of Howard, one week be- fore their all-important engagement with the Partners of Birmingham Southern, will leave Birmingham Thurs day night for their annual jaunt down into Mississippi territory. Friday aft ernoon the Bulldogs meet the Majors of Millsaps at Jackson, Miss, returning home in time to witness the game at Redwood Saturday between Alabama and Centre.
 The week has been more or less light for, the Bulldogs, with no scrimmages of the rough variety whatever. The fresh men have been tied up with two squab- bles of their own--one with the Panth- CT cubs Tuesday afternoon and another with Wills-Taylor outfit Friday-and have been unable to offer the varsity any scrimmage sessions. As a result, the second varsity has been running Millsaps plays against the first varsity in dummy scrimmages. Tackling the dummy has been the extent of the rough stuff the Bulldogs have faced this week.
 Long Workout Wednesday
 A lengthy workout was staged on Der ry field Wednesday afternoon, includ- ing forward pass drill, signal work and a dummy scrimmage. Claude Brewster endured a trying session in front of a camera, but came out with less injury than expected.
 Coach Gillem hasn't announced just whom he will take to Mississippi, but the. opening lineup was fairly well in dichted by Wednesday's workout. Coach Gillem will probably send the follow ing team against the Majors Saturday:
 Ends-Wilkerson and Knight or Lol- lar.
 Tackles-Shepherd and Kelly or L. Brewster. >
 Guards-Stubbs and Spicer.
 Ccnter-C. Brewster.
 Quarterback-Captain Stevens.
 Halfbacks-McCarty and Scokel.
 Fullback-Casey.
 Knight May Start
 In the above lineup, one new starter may be observed, Hank Knight. The lanky Woodlawn boy, during the time he played against Oglethorpe last Sat urday, put up such nice performance that Coach Gillem is seriously consid- ering starting him against Millsaps. If Slick Lollar's injuries do not permit his starting, Knight will get the assign ment.
 The team is in fair shape. Lollar's injury was somewhat reopened Satur- day and the big end may not see serv- ice against Millsaps. Kelly, who was absent from the lineup against Ogle- thorpe, is rounding into excellent con. dition and will probably be able to play Friday.
 All of the backs are in fair shape now, with Captain Stevens hand recov- ering, and Scokels injured leg coming around nicely. Coach Gillem will prob ably take squade of p men to Jack son, although he hasn't announced who will make the trip yet.

TIGERS TO PLAY
 DEFENSIVE GAME Turner And Market Will Not Play In Georgia N Tilt

AUBURN, Ala, Nov. 12.-(Special.) ) Tuesday and Wednesday found the Au. burn coaches hot after the Tiger reg ulars, getting them in shape for the game with the University of Georgia Bulldogs at Columbus Saturday after noon
 Tuesday the Varsity was shot into 9 regular rough and tough scrimmage against the Freshmen. The Pittsmen are still working hard to tighten up their defense for the reception of the Woodruff clan. Probably every lines man on the lot was ejected into the fray while the backs were not overlooked and everybody was given try at stop ping the Georgia formations. Three reg ulars were left on the side-lines on account of injuries. Paul Turner, Joe Market and Dean Peterson are all on the ailing list and the chances are bad against Turner and Market getting in the Geogia battle, while Peterson is reasonably sure to start the game against the Athenians. The loss oi Market and Turner will be keenly felt as both were in line to start in Sat urday's contest.
 Wednesday q dummy scrimmage was in order for the Plainsmen when they appeared on Drake field. Ed Sherling's scrub eleven, brimming full of Bulldog formations, took the offensive and for more than an hour the scrubs dashed the formations that will probably be seen from the Georgia firing line.
 Secret Practice
 Secret practice started Wednesday afternoon and will be in force for the rema nder of the week. A scrimmage between the Auburn Freshmen and the Forthcoming eleven was held on Drake field and the Pitts outfit held their workout on the Freshman field. Will Patterson? former Auburn star, and staunch Tiger follower came to the Plains Wednesday afternoon to witness the Tiger manuevers.
 Saturdays game will probably mark the first time in history an Auburn football team ever faced their ancient foe from the Georgia Red Hills in a defensive role. From all observations of those close to the programs for the day, the Tigers will face the Bulldog to try to hold the game scoreless and take a long chance on the breaks of the game for a counter. Again, with the Georgia eleven held to no scores, Williams might possibly get by with a placement and gain an Auburn decision as was the case when Moon Ducote won the game by lone three points in 1916 by a field goal.

Here is Flash Covington, all-South- ern quarterback of a season back and captain of the Centre College Prayin' Colonels, who will lead the scrappy eleven from the Bluegrass against the surging Tide of Alabama at Redwood Saturday afternoon.
 Covington,I as nickname signifies, is real flash, being a triple-threat of the most threatening variety. He punts for the Kentuckians, and punts in great style. He boots drop kicks from the field, and has few peers in southern football. He runs the ends, and seldom fails to turn the opposing Hanks. The Flashy one gave fine exhibition of this ability against Auburn when the Col onels played here. He blows the line and his shiftiness enables him to slip through with great consistency. And to finish out the list of possibilities which back may have to offer, Gov ington does most of the passing for Centre, as the Bluegrass eleven have long been noted for their aerial attack. This seems to change the Centre captain from tripple-threat to a quintal-threat star.
 He was almost unanimous in the all Southern selection.

Cracken, in particular, although play ing at guard, was all over the field Saturday, making triple his share of the tackles. Tom and Bo Clements. the big Cadet tackle, have stood out in a stellar role in every game of the season.
 Though V. M. I.'s attack differed against the Tarheels, Cadet supporters believe that the squadron is due to fly again Saturday. With four fast backs, including two such versatile and bril- liant stars as Wyndham White and Snail Caldwell, V. M. I. has a poten- tially powerful attack. The coaches ex- pect this offensive strength to be CO., ordinated Saturday, in which case the Wildcats will have to be very wild in order to claw the Cadets into submis- sion.
