In charge of Coach Dietz and Athletic Director Major Prince, the Bulldogs arrived in Shreveport Wednesday afternoon at 2 p. m. They were ripping and snorting and anxious to place their teeth in the hides of the Gentlemen. These Bulldogs were hungry for football, having been deprived of their famous dish since they devoured the Loyola Wolves on the I'olytech stadium at Huston 10 days ago.

They are out for revenge, and have been biding the time since they were trampled in the dust on the Centenary, gridiron in 192', Many cf the players who were part of the Turkey Day battle last year are in the Ruston party this season and they know what a bitter battle awaits them this afternoon with the Gentlemen.

28. Captain Nuck Brown, of the Vanderlillt team, walked off the field on Thanksgiving of that year, with the football which, his team had used to defeat Sewanee.

That was nine years ago. Today on the eve of another Sewanee battle, the foot ball came home. George Armis tead was the culprit. Ho Is now a newspaper man. The ball is on display.

A guard should never cross his feet, but should main tain the following position, feet well apart, knees slightly bent, arms out stretched so as to be able to shift to meet any unexpected move on the Dart of his opponent.

CARTER Spotting a championship contender a half dozen pounds in weight, also height and reach, is quite a task for any ring man, but that's just what faces Johnny McCoy, the Cleveland Skeeter, when he tackles Pal Moore, of Memphis, in a 10-round decision contest at the Shreveport Athletic club Monday night. Moore will have an advantage in practically every natural way and McCoy's chances of victory narrow down to two things skill and the wallop. Fans are asking whether the Skeeter can hurdle such a handicap as placed before him, and the question goes unanswered. The failure to get a clear answer to this local prize -ring riddle is McCoy's showing against Pascal Colletti, Mutt McKce and Claude Wilson in a local ring. Fistic bugs who watched McCoy hurdle the same obstacles as face him in the Moore contest refused to be pinned down to any prediction for the outcome of the coming bantamweight battle.

Only a short while before coming to Shreveport McCoy boxed Sammy Mandell, a leading featherweight, eight rounds, no decision, in Memphis.

Mandell is called the king pin of the 124-pounders in the east, and considered a contender for Johnny Dundee's featherweight crown. In the Mandell bout McCoy was at a bigger disadvantage than he faces in the Moore bout as Mandell is reputed to be a heavy puncher. Mandell earned the newspaper decision but McCoy was landed for the manner in which be carried the battle to his foe. McCoy Wins in Ssn Antonio. Just to keep his fighting knuckles in trim McCoy journeyed to San Antonio, Texas, and trounced another bantam hope Monday night.

The Skeeter's opponent was Jack Feldmsn, of Jersey City, who had also won considerable fame in San Antonio by his meetings with Kid Pancho, and other 118 pounders of Texas. Promoter Shelton, of San Antonio, offered Kid Pancho a bout with McCoy, but the latter dodged the issue. Stanley Arrives.

Individual stars are not much In the limelight with the Bulldog team, for Coach Deitz has assembled and trained a machine, in which each athlete strives to function as a well oiled part. Hollis, Walker, Whitman, Reed, Anders, Webber, Wilson, Willis, Linton, Jones, Fleishman, Talbert, Hogg, Brazil, Mathis and Tomlin have borne the brunt of the frays during the season, and have acquitted themselves well. They are keyed up for the game on Thanksgiving dav and are ready to five their all for Tech. Miss Edna Arnold, Miss Gladys West and "Bob" Wesson, the peppy cheer leader of Tech's rooter section, have a series of stuns and yells that will prove entertaining on Thursday. The old Bulldog has his hide polished afresh, and is ready to add his inspiring presence to the occasion.

Phone 3971 f3T IS "You can't tell about McCoy," is the general reply to questions, "He has had four battles here, and three times he had weight, height and reach against him, yet he came out a winner each time. The strangest part of it all he showed more skill, snd a different style of performance, on each occasion. In his contest with Kid Williams he allowed his boxing ability to bring him home a winner. In the Colletti bout he made it a close battle, working on the New Orleans boy's stomach.

Against Claude Wilson he displayed an aggressive lefthand attack, that made him victor in fourteen of fifteen rounds. He went after a knockout with McKee, slugging his way to victory. What his attack against Moore will be can only be guess work. One thing is certsin, the dope points to a busy time for Moore Monday night." Moore No Stranger, Moore is not a stranger in Shreveport, and the fans who saw him contest Dandy Dick Griffin at the Auditorium here say ho will have to show more skill then he displayed on that night to get any kind of a margin on McCoy. Moore is not a knockout artist.

He has always depended on his speed afoot, and skill to carry him through to victory. It's a question of whether McCoy can cope with the Memphis boy in science. Friends of the "Skeeter" say he is the harder hitter of the two. Local fans who hsve seen McCoy in contests in other cities say the Clevelander can wallop when the occasion demands. He usually counts upon his boxing ability when meeting the slugger, and just the reverse when the opponent tries to make it a boxing match.

Despite the fact that he Is not as well known as Moors among the first-rank bantams, McCoy has had almost as much experience as his opponent for Monday night. He hss eliminated all contenders for Joe Lynch's erown in the south, snd around Ohio is considered among the "higher-ups."
