BESSEMER AND
 LANIER TIE, co Tigers And Poets Stage Brilliant Battle In
 Montgomery

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Nov. 15.- The Lanier High Poets and the Bes- semer High Tigers battled here today in their annual game to scOreless tie Entering the game with odds greatly against them, the Poets fought the Tigers off their feet during the entire contest, gaining nearly twice as much ground. and on two occasions getting to within five yards of the Bessemer goal.
 The weather was ideal for football and the two elevens, each striving for decisive victory, waged grim strug- gle without avail.
 In the first half, the Poets started off with rush. On line plays and short end runs by Kirkland and Kaminsky. the Poets worked the oval to the 10-yard | line, where penalty for holding sent them back. After three attempts at passing, kaminsky placed beautiful punt on the Bessemer S-yard line, the hall bouncing outside at this point Throughout the first half the Poets got the breaks, fumbles by Bessemer mar ring the spectacular playing of her brilliant quarterback, ''Pinkie' Harris, who last year played in the Poets back i field. His bunting, however, was not up to standard during the first two periods, the Poets toe artist, Kamin- sky gaining many yards on every ex- change.
 The last two periods brought an i'm provement in the defense of both crews, which forced the teams to resort to forward passing. In this department, Bessemer excelled slightly, getting away with several long ones. These, however, were attempted in her own territory, and when the Tigers got to within striking distance of the Poet goal, the entire Lanier outfit strengthened no- ticeably.
 For the Poets, Ohme, at end, was the outstanding star. Time and again he would have to wait until the safe ty man would catch the ball before tackling him, so fast did he get down the field Sammy Senters' great work at fullback for the Poets was also feature of the annual tilt. James, Poet center, showed great improvement and Is being slated for an all-state prep berth.
 The Tiger luminaries were Captain Parson, "Pinkie" Harris and Jacobs, huge tackle.
 Another record-breaking crowd wit messed the game, a large delegation of Bessemer rOoters occupying the tenn porary bleachers, increasing the attend ance.

The fact that Quinn never wants

"Firpo, Wills and Gibbons are now
claiming priority rights to a match
with Dempsey" Richard said. 'To
satisfy them 1t would be necessary to
have three heavyweight fights next
summer. Three are too many. In
fact. It is enough work TO put over
one big spectacle in a season.

to learn, is the only one Of the three
contenders who is willing to take the
chance of proving his right to a match
with Dempsey by lighting a real con
tender" Richard said.
wills asserts that his right is es-
tablished and that he does not need
to prove he is the outstanding chal-
lenger. He Is willing. however, to
fight Gibbons or Jack Renault.
Not Sure of Gibbons
IT am not certain what Gibbons
wants TO do, and I have not made any
serious efforts to get him a heavy
weight match. as I think he belongs
to the light-heavyweight class.
'Firpo is willing to fight Wills. Glib
bons or any Of the contenders, ard I
would bike to get him a match be-
cause he Is a good fighter and great
card. 1t is true he was knocked out
in two rounds by Dempsey but he is
the only heavyweight who has
knocked Dempsey off his feet since
Jack won the title"
