If he has not lost any of his early season effectiveness he will bolster the rear works. He is a crack punter and is a very agile halfback. Provided Hatfield, Brown and Kim brell are granted discharge from the first aid room and no new injuries occur in the Tiger lair this week. Coach Wynne will be able to send his proteges against Tulane in the best shape that they have been since the opening game.

No homecoming will be held at the Plains this year, Coach Wynne deciding to select the annual battle with Tulane as the get-together game for the old grads; With a large number of alumni expected to be present, Cramton Bowl officials are making plans to accommodate 15,000 when Auburn plays the New Orleans eleven.

Alabama barely nosed out the Wildcats of Kentucky here Saturday afternoon by a meager two points and they were late getting that much. Two points, however, does not. In any manner Indicate the margin of Alabama's play over Its visitors, but it does indicate, yet, cries out rather loudly, their inability to cash in on scoring chances. Eleven first downs for Alabama to one for Kentucky about tells the tale of the difference in' play. About the only way to explain the reason Alabama did not score many more points is that the Kentucky line fought like true wildcats In the shadow of their own goaL Luck was against Alabama in the first half, for the Tide gained enough ground to score and Just as they were about to cash In on one of their many scoring chances, time was called with the ball on Kentuckys three-yard line with four downs in which to drive It over.

Alabamas Two Scores Alabamas two scores resulted not from Its offensive work. After having been held several times by Kentucky within the 10-yard line, Alabama had the ball on Kentuckys five-yard stripe with three downs in which to put It over. Kentucky was over-anxious and drew an offside penalty which put the hall on the one-yard line and gave Alabama still three shots at It. The first try gave them about half the distance and the next one drove it over. Their second score came as a result of Alabamas vicious charging in on one of Kelly's punts, blocking it behind Kentuckycs goal for a safety.

Only phenomenal work on the part of Kelly in turningaround and falling on the ball near the end line kept it from being a touchdown for Alabama. Kelly had another punt partially blocked and several just barely missed. This did not appear to be Kellys fault, as seemed to be getting off his kicks In normal time, but rather to the speed with which the Alabama line was crowding in on him. Alabamas punter was slightly out-kicked on the average for the game but this does not spell the difference in the kicking of the two teams. Yardage amounts to very little when the advantage gained by kicks is computed.

Yardage Is what shows up In the summary of statistics while the advantage gained must he told. Alabamas kicker was putting his kicks out of hounds between the 10-yard line and tho goal, time and time again. Punts Well Placed This great placing of punts kept Kentucky in a hole almost all afternoon and kept the Cats from being able to show what they could do, If anything, on returning punts. Of course, it is up to the team in the hole to pull itselif out, and, if they do not do so, the other team is naturally going to get credit for outplaying them. Kentucky's offense was very conspicuous by its absence most of tho afternoon.

They seemed to have no passing attack at all. Their only first down and score, came as the result of just one run that clicked around right end. A single scoring play seems to be the order of the day in modern football, most teams being satisfied apparently to fool around all afternoon, losing ground or failing to gain just so one or two plays will click and result in a man getting loose for a score. It looked at one time as if Kentucky was going to be returned victor by this method. Kentuckys baekfield shifted to the left, the ball went to the back man who faked to hand it to the full, then handed it to Kelly who followed the full toward the sideline until he found an opening, cut back behind two blockers and was in the open, only one man having even an outside chance of overtaking him.

This chance failed him for he was not quite fast enough to overtake the famous Shipwreck. Kelly Watched Closely And speaking of the wrecked ship, this boy had some one after him all afternoon. Every time the ball was snapped, frhht one to three Alabama players would take a crack at Kelly. He is the best dodger I ever saw, however, for he was on his feet to help the fellow, who had taken a crack at him, to his feet, pat him on the back and send him back to his position. I think it would be conservative to say that Alabama wore out about three fellows diving at Kelly during the game.

Features of the game were Kellys broken field run for a touchdown; Cain's knack of putting his punts out of bounds Inside the 10-yard line consistently; that 65-yard punt of Kercheval following the safety and it went 65 yards on the fly too-and Holley's returning of punts. Before I get through, I want to make one comment which may not lie within my prerogatives but which 1 feel called upon to mention, nevertheless. At every game I have seen this year, there has been at least one section at each end and on each side of the field completely empty. It would seem to me to be tho part of good showmanship, as well as good psychology, to offer these seats, which stay empty, at popular prices. Fill them up if you have to go into the highways and byways and bring them in.

1 am reliably informed that the authorities in Dallas have so graduated prices that they practically fill their stadium up, even in these days of the scarce dollar.

31 Spring Hills College gridiron encounter with Howard here Friday night will give mid-state fans their first insight into real S. I. A. A. football.

Spring Hill has been undefeated in the little conference since 1928 and brings to the Capital City this season one of the greatest teams in its history. Nursing its stars and spiking its and men who knew him, played under Florida Smashing Comeback After Being Down 6-0 At Half Time To Win Over Alabama In 1923 Grid Feature him and loved him during his 19 years at Auburn. The Badgers are already voicing the slogan that has followed this dean of American coaches on all hi travels, For the Love of Mike. In a tight place, backs against their own goal or just a few more yards for that all-important first down, wi( always find the Hillians springing from their huddle each telling the other: For the Love of Mike. The second member of this coaching team will also command recognition from those who know the game NEW YORK.

Oct. 31 (JP) J. Sinead Jolley, of Chicago, and Bob Falk, of Cleveland, took the pinch hit- ting honors for 1931 In the American! League. Of the 26 pinch batters who substituted 10 times or more, Falk was the busiest, being called upon to help out 41 times, and Jolley was the I most effective. The big Chicago lefthander, who might have been a regular except for injuries, compiled a pinch hitting average of .481 for the season.

He made 27 trips to the plate and cracked out 13 hits, including four doubles, one triple and one homer. Jolley also batted in 13 runs in the pinches, topping the club totals ot all the other teams except Cleveland. Falk alsp made 13 hits but had a .317 average. Jack Rothrlck, of Boston, took second place to Jolley with a .474 mark. Eight pinch hitters during 1931 hit home runs nnd two of them, Dlb Williams and Jimmy Foxx, both of the Philadelphia Athletics, did It with the bases full.

Tony Lazzeri. of the New York Yankees, also earned special mention for his pinch hitting activities, making five lilts In seven times up for a total of 12 bases. Two second division clubs set the American League pace In pinch batting. The Boston Red Sox pinch batters hit for a .306 average, while the White Sox rescuers, with a .299 average, had the most times at bat, 144, and the most hits, 43, as well as leading In every other department except triples and homers. The champion Athletics used only 49 pinch batsmen, four of them walking and the rest getting only nine hits.

The league as a whole had a .262 average In Its pinch batting. Generals Outplay William And Mary But Are Held, 0-0 NORFOLK. Oct. 31 (UP) William and Mary held Washington and Lee to a scoreless tie here Saturday. The game was played in perfect weather beforo a crowd of 7,000.

The Washington and Lee Generals consistently outplayed their opponents, three times penetrating to within the 10-yard line only to be held for downs when touchdowns were In easy striklpg distance, and counting 10 first downs to five for William and Mary. Monk Maddox, W. L. quarterback, featured his team's attack with a brilliant broken field running, getting loose twice for 35 yards and twice for 25 yards around end.

U. By Scoring In First Half 12-6 BATON ROUGE. Oct. Sl-CP) Sewanee's Mountain Tigers played heads up football here Saturday night to gain a 12 to 6 lead at the half over Louisiana State University and this score was held to the end of the game. Louisiana State was outclassed in general all-round.

Sewanee, with a dazzling attack, scored soon after play began. Taking an underhand pass from Well-ford, F. Kellerman ran 34 yards to Louisianas 15-yard line. Sewanee made several gainful line plays and Kellerman went four yards for the touchdown. Morton's kick failed.

L. S. U. played ragged football. Their off-tackle threats took the ball to Sewanees 13-yard line as the quarter ended.

Both teams sooted in the second period. Torrance snagged an 11-yard pass from Almokary to place the hall on Sewanees four-yard line, Mixon advanced two more yards over center and Almokary took it over from the two-yard line for L. S. U. Smiths placekick failed, Stimson took a 35-yard pass from Kellerman and ran eight yards over the line for Sewanees touchdown.

Keilerman's try for the point failed.

supremacy, the Birmingham Baptists have yet to realize a win. This season, however, because of the increased strength of the Howard eleven and the unusual number of reserves on hand, the final whistle may render a different verdict. Beginning their gridiron feud in 1915, the Howard-Spring Hill clash has matured into a standing bone of contention between the two colleges. The fact that Howard was unable to win a single game from the Hillians CHARITY restores Faith and Hope. And I trow you would help restore Faith and Hope unto many unfortunate neighbors and fellow citizens.

You have given to the Community Chest. Now you can still continue to aid the campaign of mercy by supporting an all-local boxing and wrestling program sponsored by the two American Legion Posts Friday night at the Municipal Auditorium. There will be no expense attached to the program. For once you will see a sporting event staged in the true name oi charity. Every cent goes to help iced some hungry person.

Even the principals will pay to get in and give their service to help entertain you. There will be no such thing as a pass. Every person you see at the auditorium will have contributed something. Ten dollars will feed a family of five for one month. Doesnt this make you want to give every cent you can spare? You have gone to.

the baseball games, you have seen many boxing and wrestling matches, you have watched the grid characters enact their roles. Thrice blessed have you been. Now, can you refrain from seeing an athletic contest staged in the true name of charity where every cunt you pay in, goes to relieve hunger? If there is a real spark of sportsmanship in your veins, you cannot refuse to help in an ever so little way to restore some Faith and Hope to homes bereft of things you fortunately have. Post No. 1 and Gorgas Post are your visible benefactors but remember they pass oh every cent to the Community Chest.

You can have your cake and eat it. And you will never spend money that will serve better purpose than feeding hungry children, women and men. As a personal favor to yourself and a blessing to the needy, help pack the auditorium Friday night. Let it not be said that the sports loving people of Birmingham failed CHARITY in itsjiour of need. Radio fans who have listened to Henry and Percy quarrel over matrimony, the Big Pork Projects lack of business and events of the time, will see the two black face comedians in person at the auditorium Friday night.

Henry and Percy are cooking up a real act of love. They went to work on their sketch two weeks ago. And will you laugh just you try to keep from horselaughing. Birmingham and Montgomery will be guests to their most outstanding Southern Conference football games of the year next Saturday. If you are an Auburn man you will be in Montgomery, if you are an Alabama man you will be in Birmingham.

The Tigers face the great Tulane team and Alabama renews athletic relations with Florida in Birmingham. Wouldn't it be nice if there were telescopes long enough to reach from Montgomery to Birmingham or visa versus. Alabama and Florida have always played spectacular football against each other. Charlie Backman will have most of his crippled well for the Crimsons. And for the first time, at Legion Field it will be a Notre Dame system versus a Notre Dame system with personal adaptations by Thomas and Backman.

Now tune in on what Charles L. Dufour (New Orleans Item-Tribune) has to say about the Green Wave an angry wave if you please 'Gentlemen, we want to present the worlds greatest pass defenders the Tulane Greenies. Every team that tried to work the pass on the 1930 Greenies found itself rudely jolted, but by gosh, it looks like the present bunch is better than last year's when it comes to knocking down or grabbing off enemy heaves. The air attacks of the opposition have netted Tulane considerably more ground than it didjhe passing teams. For one thing, Greenie opponents have completed only 19 passes out of 73 tried for a total yardage of 135.

The Greenies have intercepted 14 passes, three for touchdowns, and have totaled 216 yards on passes that the other lads tossed. "Statistically, the opposition has completed, passes for a percentage of .261. Of the 54 opposing passes that cridnt click Tulane has intercepted for a percentage of .259. "Reducing to plain language, the Greenies profit when the other team throws the ball. The Greenies sincerely hope the opposition will pass.

Theres always a chance of a Tulane touchdown. Heres a table showing how Tulanes pass defense has functioned this year Teams Tried. Completed. Gains. Intercepted.

Returns Ole Miss 25 Texas Aggies 12 Spring Hill 18 Vanderbilt 10 "Georgia Tech 8 "Totals 73 The backbone of the Tulane pass defense is Nollie Felts, who has an uncanny ability of being where the ball goes. Close behind him is Winnie Lodrigues ant( the other Tulane backs, Zimmerman, Payne, Hodgins, Dawson and Glover are right at Lodrigues heels. Very seldom do eligible receivers get into the clear. On many of the completed passes against Tulane, men have been covered. On others, the yardage has been scant, as in the Ole Miss game.

The latter club completed nine passes but seven of em were for gains of under three yards. "The Texas Aggies caught one lucky pass which was knocked into Malones arms after Felts batted it out of McFayden's. And the two passes that Vandy completed, one was for practically no gain, but resulted in a lateral pass after the forward, and the other came on a remarkable catch by a man who was covered. Blinky Horn wrote after the game: Vandy had only four men to whom to pass the referee, the umpire, the headlinesman and the field And thats the way its been all season. Not only is the Tulane team beautifully schooled in pass defense, but it is we1 drilled in jumping from defense to offense the moment a pass is intercepted.

On six plays, one a pass netting 12 yards and a run of 11 yards, Florlda had tied the score, but failed to kick goal. Here is where Fate decided to get on the side of the dry uniforms. After the ball had changed hands once or twice, Newton got his foot fairly behind one and sent It down the fleld 79 yards, the ball being dead on Alabama's one-yard line.
