CURKSVILLE LEAF-CHRONICLE Thursday Afternoon, September 30 PAGE EIGHT 3ii Ole Miss Kentucky Scrap Leads SEC Headliners Barons Rest After Copping Southern Playoffs From Vols ii a tni Mm nil r- 111, utiv3da less V-ai w-J By KYLE VANCE LEXINGTON, Ky. VP) Mississippi and Kentucky will set off some of the early season's most important football fireworks here Saturday night in a game that shapes up as a battle of scat backs. Speed has been advertised as the key weapon of each eleven. The Johnny Rebels of Old Miss, going out in defense of their Southeastern Conference crown for the second straight Saturday, indicated in their 14-0 flailing of Florida last week-end that they will count heavily on breakaway ball-totes to ROS As in the case of two CUrksville High football games each year there can be no picking the favorite for when the Wildcats meet Hop-kinivill and Springfield previouj performance and ocher such can just about be thrown out of the window. v- Th 'Cats have finished with their rough work in preparation for the Tigers and will wbd up the drill this afternoon with a light workout and 'play execution.

The emphasis will be on timing, a matter in which the 'Cats were sorely lacking in the Murfreesboro tilt. By HUGH FULLERTQN, JR. NEW YORK. W) When and If the Indians and Braves meet in the World 8erles, it will be a team averaging 29.2 years in age against one averaging 29.9 years that probably doesn't, prove anything except that Cleveland's Joe Gordon Isn't the only player who can carry the nick -BITES- A few mlles north of 'here- the Tigers had what Coach Ralph Mills eaUed tte. workout In jeft.

I rin thai firaf fnr mmninir nlftva 6n their first three running plays the Hoptown first string ran for TD's against the reserves. The Wildcats will be at their best shape physically for the tussle tomorrow night with Captain BIJly Hunter starting his first game of the Fullback Mack Johnson with a week's rest behind him, Is also being counted on to carry the load of the ground attack. The aerial fireworks will of course be led by Blaztn'. Billy the lad who Dared the way for the 63-0 walloping the 'Cats handed South Pittsburgh last Friday. The Wildcats will be weak on re-servestas compared to; their foes and ar usual will be outweighed.

"The Tigers have two of the finest ends in this neck of the woods in Doug' Shem will and Tommy Griffin and their tackles average nearly 200 pounds. The center of the Tigers line Is a 71 the two teams the game is a even-stephen affair but if the. 'Cats will display their accustomed savage blocking and powerful running, another Tiger scalp could be added to their string. a The outcome will depend entirely upon the attitude ofL the 'Cats If they enter the game with a fierce determination to win and go about their work with all they have, then a win should be in the offing. If they approach the game with a the game is going to be easy then the aroused Tigers may pull an upset: We wlU string along with the 'Cats as winners but it will be Close.

JCST 8TUF Sports Editor. Bob Hoenig of the Hollywood Cltlsen-News has qualified as a bise'-Rll expert to end all baseball experts. 29 In his column "The Inside Outlook," Hoenig predicted the Pacific. Coast League baseball standings would wind up like this Oakland, first, followed by San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Hollywood, San Diego and Sacramento. In case you didn't know, that's exactly tne way the loop ended.

The Bureau of Measurement Analysis at UCLA figured the odds against such a prediction as 40,320 to one. TCH, TCH Incidentally two articles appeared yesterday and they cast rather a bad light upon Billy Southworth of the pennant winning Boston Braves. Southworth received a letter from a William Southworth, age one asking for one ticket to the World Series, Although Southworth knew the child's father wanted the ticket be ordered one sent when the Braves receive a money order. On the other hand George Stall- THIS FEATURE THE BEST WILL DO IT We believe the Clarksvllle Wildcats will have to play their best ball game of. the season to defeat the Hoplclnsvtlle Tigers tomorrow night.

They are fully capable of handing the Tigers a defeat if they play the type' of ball commensurate with their ability, but it will take hard charging by the line and heads-up football by ail concerned. Sentiment in and around Clarksvllle is that the 'Cats will hand the Tigers- their fourth straight defeat but many factors will have a say in the' outcome of this grudge battle. The Tigers are an aroused ball club and after going through a rugged workout the other day are confident of being able to take the measure of. the locals. They are mad concerning their 14-13 loss to Henderson last week and It is possible that they.w'U be on 4h? rebound when they take to the Hop-kinsville Stadium.

Clarksvllle on the other hand, aftr a hopelessly outclassed South Pittsburgh eleven may be 'guilty of over confidence, this could be and would be fatal. It will take everything the 'Cats have to dump Hopkinsvllle and this game m-'-e or break the 'Cats season. A win over the Hop-towners wou'd ftart the' 'Cats off toward a highly creditable year on the gridiron. RAIN WILL AID TIGERS Ralrr woultf work-11 the advantage of Hopkinsvllle with their larger and heavier squad and would also tend to hamper the 'Cats passing attack. If the field is dry and fast the lighter- speedy 'Cat backs would find the going much easier and a dry ball would aid their overhead game.

-r-- On the basis '-of the records of WATCH FOR Bosox Yanks Must Win To Stay In Flag GSiase make up tor their loss of Charley Conneny. 'V They pulled a sudden shift to the attack when It appeared that.no one-would come along to fill In for aerial "artist Connerly. The wily Wildcats of Kentucky got the Jump on them in that department," however. They took advantage 'of their: own swifties by adopting the a year ago, and, they, have of the same swif ties this Coach John Vaught of Mississippi bargains that the year of polish applied by Kentucky will give the Wildcats some- kind of advantage. His Rebs caught Kentucky at the same stage last season and won, 1 1 U.ti.VI mmtA kU from readv for a erame with Ken tuckfT" "Actually, he hope td hold Kentucky three touchdowns, of stay that close Getting any closer would be a moral victory," Coach Paul Bryant wouldn't be surprised If.

the game went exactly the reverse. "We are a three-touchdown underdog If Harry Ullnskl (Injured center) can play," he said. "If he can't you can make it five. On the basis' of workouts this week, we'll lose by eight. "I only know what our scouts saw.

(in the Old Miss-Florida They say Mississippi is stronger at every i position this year. They say their is tougher than ours. I'll be tickled with any kind of a close game." Another SEC headliner wilT pit top-favored Oeorgla Tech against rebounding Tulane at Atlanta. Alabama, surprised last week-end by Tulane, will seek to recover at the expense of at Mobile. All others conference teams will tackle outside foes.

Biggest of these will see Georgia meet giant-killer North Carolina, at Athens. Tennessee will- take on Duke at Durham, Louisiana State will engage Rice at Texas, Mississippi State will go up against Baylor at Memphis, Florida will entertain Tulsa at Gainesville, and Auburn will stage Its homecoming with Louisiana Tech. 2 Million Men Subject To Draft VP) A pool of more than 2,000,000 -young men is now available for drafting Into the manpower-shy army.

They have to win in order to keep alive their slim mathematical chances of overhauling the front running Cleveland Indians in the American League pennant race.

The Indians, two games ahead of the Red Sox and Yanks, are idle today. New York and Boston defeats would assure the Tribe of no worse than a tie for" the crown. Should both the Yonks and Red Sox. bow the Indians can clinch their first flag sulce 1920 by beating the Detroit Tigers Friday. All three of the contenders have three games to Ply.

Boston clasnes with the seventh place Washington Senators in Fenway Park while the Yanks tackle the tough Athletics in Philadelphia. Southpaw Mel Parnell (14-8) has been selected to face Washington's Early Wynn (8-18) for Boston. Parnell has been very effective against Washington, beating the Nats four times against only one loss. The Indians maintained their commanding two game bulge by defeating the Chicago White Sox, 5-2 yesterday. The Yanks downed the Athletics, 4-2, and the Red Sox turned back Washington, 8-1.

While the battle to determine the American League's World Series entry raged, the National League's representative In the classic, the Boston Braves, suffered a severe Jolt The Braves lost the services of Jeff Heath, their slugging outfielder, for the rest Of the year. Heath broke his left foot sliding home In the sixth inning attempting to score from second base in a game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Heath was batting at a .319 pace and had belted 20 homers. The Braves won the game, 4-3, when Slbby Slstl sin gled in Phil Masl from second in the ninth. Johnny 8ain went the distance ta record his 23rd victory The booming bats of Joe Gordon and Ken Keltner brought Cleveland its 18th victory In its last 21 games.

Gordon drove In three runs with his 32nd homer and a double and Keltner punched in the other two with his 30th circuit blow and a Bob Feller, with good support, went the route for Cleveland to post his 19th victory and seventh straight. He allowed ten hits, walked three and fanned three. The White Sox Jumped on Feller for two runs In the second inning, but In the sixth Indians took over. With one out Lou Boudreau walked. Oordon and Keltner followed with homers and the Indians were la front to stay.

Gordon and Keltner went to work again in the. seventh, rifling successive doubles behind a walk to Dale Mitchell to bring in Cleveland's final runs.
