M. College for Negroes defeated Tuskegee Institute here Saturday, 15-7, in the ninth renewal of the Orange Blossom football game before 6,500 fans. Trailing for three quarters after Robinson, of Tuskegee, had plunged over from the five-yard line in the first period, Florida flashed to life in the fourth with a safety and a touchdown. The game took a sudden change la the fourth when Grover Goodwill, substitute at end. backed Tuskegee to the wall with a 76-yard kick that went out on Tuskegees four-yard line.

Alabamas Crimson Tide will begin preparations for its Jan. 1 meeting with Texas A. M. in the Cotton Bowl on Wednesday or Thursday, Coach Frank Thomas announced Saturday. The Tide squad has been taking things easy since its 21-7 win over Miami in the final game of the regular season and following a gruelling 10-game schedule the Crimsona were ready for the much-needed rest.

Although the Crimson Tide is a bowl veteran, after five previous appearances in Pasadena's postseason classic, Dallas' Cotton Bowl and Southwest Conference competition will be new to Alabama. The Jan. 1 meeting will be the first between Alabama and Texas A. M. and will also be the Tides first game against a Southwestern team since 1922 when the University of Texas defeated tha then Thin Red Line, 19-10, in Austin.

Coach Frank Thomas, whose 11-year record at Alabama of 84 wins, 15 defeats and five ties is one of the best in the nation, will be making his third post-season appearance with the Crimson Tide. His 1934 and 1937 teams were invited to the Rose Bowl with the Crimson Tide defeating Stanford, 29-13, Jan. 1, 1935, and losing to California, 0-13, on New Years Day in 1938. Alabama had a record of eight victories and two defeats this season. The Tide's only losses were to Mississippi State (0-14) and to Vanderbilt (0-7).

Victories were scored over Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Howard, Tennessee. Georgia, Kentucky. Tulane, Georgia Tech and MiamL The Tide scored a total of 234 points in its 10 games to its opponents 64 and gained a total of 2,448 yards to its opponents 1,792.

A full gallery was on hand to cheer for its favorites and to see if Clark and Overton could upset these two rivals who last year had walked off with the turkeys and were threatening to repeat TWO TEXAS AGGIE STARS Bill (Jitterbug) Henderson, left, and Derace Moser, right, are two of the stars of the Texas Aggies who expect to fall on Alabama's Crimson Tide in the Cotton Bowl classic at Dallas on New Year's Day. Henderson, who stands six feet four and weighs 205, plays end and is regarded as one of the best in the Southwest. Henderson made Texas Aggie sports history in 1941 when he became the first man is R8 years of athletics at A. M. to win letters in four major sports.

Henderson is a senior with two years of football eligibility left. Derace Moser, star A. M. tailback, is the best known player on Homer Nortons team. Mosers fine passing and running carried the Texas Aggies to the Southwestern Conference championship for the third straight year.

BY GEORGE WHITE Despite the loss, by graduation, of all but one starter in the forward wall that roared through nine consecutive games before meeting defeat at the hands of the Texas Longhorns last year, the Texas Aggies have come up with another strong line which will be ready for action in the New Years Cotton Bowl battle with Alabamas Crimson Tide. Throughout the 1941 campaign this line proved the strongest department of a team that swept to the Southwest Conference championship with the loss of only one game that to D. X.

Bibles Long horns. Eight opponents combined before that Thanksgiving Day dls aster had been able to penetrate the Maroon defense for a total of oly 23 points, and the Aggies played a tough schedule characteristic of the type they always essay over in Texas. Despite the losses of the brilliant 1941 machine, including Tommie Vaughn at center. Marshall Robnett and Charlie Henke at guards; Er nie Pannell and Chip Routt at tackles, Head Coach Homer Norton and Line Coach Bill James had a quantity of good carry-over material to form the nucleus of this years squad in the front trenches. The list included three players who had earned their letters two years End James Sterling and Tackles lluel Wesson and Martin Ruby; another end, Jitterbug Bill Henderson, and a guard, Roy Bucek, who had lettered the previous season.

Into this quintet the Aggie coaches have fused a couple of squad men. Bill Sibley, center, and Lester Richardson, guard, to round out a very capable line, which promises to be a match for anything the Crimson Tide can send on the field Probably the most unique character in the lot is Sterling, who is rounding out three seasons of stardom at a terminal post for the Maroon and White. Hell be playing in his third bowl game despite the fact that he wont observe his 20th natal day until this coming Christmas eve. At 18 he helped the Aggies defeat Tulanes Green Wave in the Sugar Bowl, Jan. 1, 1940.

Last New Years he played an im portant role as the Farmers whipped Fordhams Rams in the fifth Cotton Bowl classic. Taking an advanced course in military science and tactics hed be eligible for a second lieutenancy in the army come June except that he cant receive his commission until he is 21 and that wont be until Dec. 24, 1942. Sterling Is all that his name implies as a pass receiver and hes the best defensive wingman and blocker on the squad. Henderson, on the other wing.

Is doubtless the most colorful of all the Aggies. A towering giant of 6 feet 4 and a fine basket ball player, hes the ace of the Farmers pass snatchers. Usually it takes two men to cover him and while theyre performing this chore his mates, Sterling and his backs, account for an unusually high number of receptions. Martin Rub a 215-pounder. Is considered the outstanding tackle in the Southwest Conference and Earle Smith Quits Spring Hill Job After Five Years MOBILE, Ala.

(P) Earle Smith, for the past five years coach of the Spring Hill College athletic teams, Saturday announced his resignation effective following the coming baseball season. Smith said he had no plans for the future but that he deemed It wise for both Spring Hill and himself that he tender his resignation. No plans have been announced for naming a successor. Boxing Investigation Is Being Threatened NEW YORK (P)-A threat to carry an investigation of boxing onto the floor of the United States Congress was made by Promoter Herman Taylor, of Philadelphia. Taylor said that he had advanced $500 to Curt Horrmann, manager of Ray Robinson, shortly before the latter's welterweight bout with Marty Servo was postponed a third time.

Now, Taylor explains, Horrmann will not agree to another contract to fight Servo although the manag er verbally expressed a willingness to meet Servo after his fighter has fulfilled obligations to Mike Jacobs. This is not the first time Jacobs has done something like this to me He did something similar with John Henry Lewis after I had him Editors Note: Allan Gray, who has ust been reelected president of the fefferson County Sportsmen Association for the second straight year, tells vrtiat the organization has accomplished and some of the things It hopes to accomplish In the following yearly report. BY WALTON LOWRY The Jefferson County Sportsmens Association has had a prosper year. The organization started the year 1941 with less than 800 members and it has increased its membership to approximately 4,000. The organization has succeeded in establishing branches in every section of the county as follows: Leeds, which started with eight members, increased its membership to 281 under the leadership of President J.

O. Rowan. Trussville, with David A. Leath as president; Bessemer, under the leadership of Julian Holt; Bagley-Sayre, with J. I.

McCormick as president, and North Jefferson branch, with W. W. Rogers as president. With the help and cooperation of the officers and members of this organization we have made some real progress in restocking and the conservation of fish and wildlife. We have endeavored to work with the State Conservation Department and the United States Federal Wildlife Service, and we wish to say that each and every department of these organizations have given us 100 per cent cooperation.

We wish USE OUR LIBERAL LAY AWAY PLAN FOR AN XMAS BIKE his running mate. 215-pound Euel Wesson, isnt far behind. Roy Bucek has been a fine guard for two years and while the other starting guard, Les Richardson, 195, and Center Bill Sibley, 185, didnt see enough action to letter last year, theyve proven conclusively the worth of squad experience. Sibleys play is especially noteworthy on defense against passes. He intercepted seven enemy overheads during the course of the past campaign and thus helped immensely in bringing to abrupt halt threatening gestures by the opposition.

This line which likely will start against the Crimson Tide New Years Day, will average 201 pounds throughout and its so well balanced in weight that the average goes up only a pound tackle through tackle due to the fact that Sterling, the lightest member, scales only 190. While A. M.s second line Is no match for the starters, replacements are of a satisfactory order, particularly strong on the ends. Elvis Simmons and Harold Cowley, a pair of gluey fingered six-footers, head this brigade. Bob Tulis, a 210-pound sophomore and Zolus Motley, 210 and a senior, are the best of the reserve tackles while Felix Bucek, Jimmy Knight, Ray Mulhollan and Weldon Maples, all hefty fellows who can move and block, are the pick of the guard reliefmen.

Leonard Holder, a junior who scales only 173 pounds, is leader among the reserves at center, at which position the Aggies are most likely to prove vulnerable in the event anything should happen to wheelhorse Bill Sibley. Strength of the Aggie line lies in its ends and tackles, especially the former on offense, for this team has relied especially heavily this year on its aerial attack for its points. All in all, this starting line may not match up to the Aggie forwards of the last two seasons. Considering also the replacements, it has been sufficient to help win another clear-cut championship in the Southwest Conference, where pennants don't grow on low-hanging limbs of bushes. Williams, major league batting champion, has been placed in Class 1-A by his draft board, his mother, Mrs.

May Williams, said Saturday. She said the Boston Red Sox slugger is ready to go in the army if called." Williams is in Minneapolis now.

And how! Gunnells didn't set the home run record, but set a new mark in hitting. Country Forrest Austin made the home run mark.

Four high school teams (Gadsden, Emma Sansom, Glencoe and Etowah County) in Etowah County ran up 569 points to opponents 122 this past season. Last year Gadsden allowed five teams to score 40 points against the Tigers.

(TP) Coach Pooley Hubert declared Saturday that the field goal which gave Miami a victory over his Virginia Military Academy football team Friday night was kicked 34 seconds after the game should have ended. We kept a watch-on the game, Hubert declared, and the referee. L. L.

McMasters, deliberately stopped the field judges watch during Miami substitution when it should have been going. Those Miami players fooled around for more than a minute after the substitution, and the game should have been over 34 seconds before Petroski swung his foot." Pat Petroski, sophomore guard, made good the placement from the 21-yard line in one of the last plays of the game, won by Miami, 10 to 7. Miami kicked off and V. M. I.

ran two plays before the whistle sounded. The field judge knew the watch should be kept going and would have done so if it hadn't been for McMasters overruling him. I think it's a shame for any team that fought as hard as my boys did to lose because of a referees hard-headedness.
