FIVE THE SELMA TIMES-JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1949 MONTEVALLO HIGH INVADES MEMORIAL STADIUM TONIGHT 1 'f Livingston State Teachers Meet Florida State Here Saturday Night Florida St. Roster Livingston Roster Wise and Otherwise BILL WISE Sports Editor. Times-Journal TEACHERS ARE UNDERDOGS IN WEEKEND TIFF Great Records On Shelf For Intersectional Memorial Game A great little competitor joined Billie Parr, Cecil Jackson and other Parrish High boys on the hospital list when scrapping Bobby Binford, sophomore lineman, came up with a busted rib during practice this week, Bobby showed a rare bit of spunk, keeping it a secret as long as he could. You see, he has grown to love the game and knew he would be sunk if the injury was discovered. Well, it was and he was.

So now Bobby will have to watchhis teammates battle it out without his services from here out. Coach Nat Almon soon will have more fitting it out on the sidelines than oil the players bench if the injury jinx persists. However, he has a bunch pf eager, determined lads left and they should make a gopd ball game out of it tonight. they dont want halted and some stirring action is bound to untold for local fans in both the the tutor-gator skirmish. The two squads will bring from 70 to 80 players here Saturday and with their coaching staff and pub licity crew will total over a 100.

Two respectable winning streaks will be at stake here Saturday night when Head Coach Vaughn Manchas Livingston State Teachers risk their five-game skein against the Florida State Seminoles, coached by Don Veller, former University of Indiana backfield star. Florida State hasnt been defeated in their last 11 starts. The two will meet in Memorial Stadium at 8 oclock. The intersectional game will have no bearing on their respective loop standings as the future Teachers top the Alabama Intercollegiate Conference with three league wins and no defeats while Dont pass up the Livingston-Florida State game here tomorrow night, either, because memories of the Auburn-Georgia Frosh tiff are still vivid to those who saw the game. Most football fans didnt reckon on the spirited battle that evolved from that one and these two Saur-day fos are both in possession of consecutive victory records that CHESTER GETS STARTCR ROLE FOR BIG EFF Local Lineup Sees Shifts With Injuries Cutting Down Parrish Squad AlbeG.

Parrish High Schools fast-improving Tigers will be hosts here tonight to Montevallo High, winners of their last four contests and a club that has also been improving from game to game. It the first meeting of the two schools on the gridiron. Game time is 7:30 at Memorial Stadium. Coach Nat, Almon said Friday morning that a few changes would be made in his starting lineup tonight, one shift being the addition of left halfback Franklyn Chester in the starting eleven. Chester will be in a starters role for the first time.

He is a sophomore halfback. Milam Turner will be shifted to quarterback, replacing Karl Sadler, who is a possibility to open at fullback with Bobby Gordon the other possibility. John Foster will be in the right halfback slot to open. Almon said that it was likely that Joe Knight and Rupert Long would be on hand to open at the end posts following injuries and sickness that made their start doubtful early in the week. In the event one is- unable to make the grade Aubrey Miller, brilliant center, will be shifted to the terminal post.

At center will be either Miller or Frank Hardy. Gary Fitts, 185-pounder, and Joe Vinson, who also tips the scales at 185, will open at tackles with Beth Minter and Robert Almon, 151 apd 150 pound guards at their usual positions. Coach Theron Fisher of Monfl vallo has revealed that he wiii start with his accustomed big and fast forward wall. Ends will be Hamric and Blackerby, 150 and 170 pounders; at tackle will be Rhodes, at 165 pounds, and Morris, also at 165; guards will be Stone, a 170-pound lad, with Smitherman at the right guard slot at 168. 173-pound Fancher will be at center.

Fisher will open with Eddings at quarterback, Galloway and Law-ley at halfbacks and 207-pound Baker at fullback. Allen Ramsey, baek, 165 lbs Sweetwater. Bowling Bufford, guard, 278 Auburn. Travis Hicks, back, 180 Hueytown. Hal Knowlton, back, ,163 Atlanta, Ga.

BUDDY STRAUSS, line-plunging fullback of the undefeated Florida State University Seminoles, continued to lead the Dieie Conference in net yards from scrimmag and total offense, according to figures released today. Strauss has chalked up 502 yards in 92 plays running to pace this department by a wide margin, and has completed 4 out of 9 pass attempts for an additional 42 yards to edge Fullback David Lee of Mississippi College in total offense. Strauss total mark is 544 yards. Lee is credited with 262 yards from scrimmage and 280 yards from passing for a total of 542 yards. Comer Sims, in booking these two for the game, was fulfilling a vision of getting some top-notch junior college teams here for the stadium and has received very little, if any, help from any local faction.

Not that Comer has said anything. He hasnt, at least, to this department but we know he has had the whole thing on his shoulder all the way. This is one of the steps Selma must take if it will continue to have college freshmen and junior college games in the future. It would behoove us all to get Into the swing with Sims and give him what aid we can. Here are two colleges, both riding big winning streaks and hav ing top-notch clubs (both are leading their conferences) ready to pounce down each others throats Saturday night, bringing publicity to Selma and fans from surrounding territory and practically being ignored hy locl civic groups.

There has been an awful lot of talk about bringing out-of-town foot ball games here. So far, there has been much more talk than any thing else. Except for a few, like Comer, who have worked hard, Selma is taking the situation complacently. Of course, if It is too much trouble PROBABLE STARTERS Livingston Pos. Fla.

Do you want junior college and major college frosh games in Selma? We wont even go into the Blue Devil deal here. Those local boys have put up their own money to have some football games and have, got the same cold shoulder, although most fans readily admit that they give as good a show as many much higher-touted games by big schools. It boils down to an old bromide, Put up or shut up." Florida State sits astride the Dixie Conference lead with a perfect season of six victories. Neither coach has passed around any hints of their offensive plans but either could muster up running or passing attacks Saturday night. Buddy Strauss, senior fullback for the Seminoles, is currently leading the Dixie Conference in total yards gained (net) with 92 rushing tries to total 502 net yards to add to 42 yards passing for a grand total of 544, the loops best.

Livingston has challengers to that record with Travis Hicks, although a doujrtful participant in the tiff is currently leading the AIC with av'total of 709 yards by rushing and passing. Hicks has amassed 461 yards by rushing and 248 passing. His rushing is top in the league and his passing total is second to Troys Dewey Rfenfroe. A teammate of Hicks. Cecil Redish, of Jessup, is third in passing in the conference with 17 Probable Starter Parrish Fos Montevallo Knight (150) Hamric (150) le ish Fitts (185) Rhodes (165) -W Almon (151) Stone (170) LG -JM Miller (160) or a otherwise they will out of the bowls.

Vandy is one of only two SEC teams never to play in a bowl and the Commodores are tired of that questionable distinction. Tech has played in seven bowls. L. S. U.

has begged at the gates of the first division for two weeks and a victory over Vandy in Baton Rouge tomorrow night would prove the Tigers accomplishments over North Carolina and Rice were no flukes. Tennessee is desperate to whip Tech because a loss will dump the Vols out of the first division. Ths game will be in Knoxville. Auburn and Mississippi State frantically are trying to dodge the cellar. Whichever loses in Auburn will be down there holding up the Southeastern probably for the remainder of the season.

'Georgia and Florida need a victory in Jacksonville almost as badly as Auburn and State, if thats pnssihle- This is Georgias worst season in ten. This is Floridas usual terrible season and alumni are getting fidgety again. Tulane is crawling slowly back toward the list of better thought of teams and a romp over Navy in New Orleans can help people for-j get what happened against Notre Dame. Mississippi has its best chance of winning in seven weeks some- thing that hasn't happened since Sept. 24.

Last spring, you re member', they had to. fly a load of meat down from the North and then store it in Tampa because there was a big enough freezer in Bradenton, to hold what was needed for a hungry mob of athletes. Now the story is that they'll move to a Sarasota hotel and transport the players by bus to the Bradenton field. That should make the Chamber of Commerce most unhappy. The Yankees also had a few misunderstandings last spring but their lodgings apparently have been okayed for next spring.
