Al Smith, I I BY ZTPP JTEWMAV. Bperts Hilar The Birmingham Km, EST POINT. Oct. 14. Special Mike Donahue's Plainsmen meet the Army Cadets here Saturday In the first intersectional game that Auburn has ever played north of Atlanta.

As in the games with Carlisle and Ohio State. Auburn was the under dog before game time, with the odda being two to one on the Army to win. There were quite a few Army backers spotting 21 points to the Auburn men. who numbered more than 260. Practically all of the backers of the Tigers came up this morning, leaving New York by boat.

They will return with the team Saturday evening Immediately after the game. For the first time In years Auburn entered a game without a single varsity player being on the crippled list. If the line comes through, the Tiger backs will make a big Impression. Should the line fall, there Is no telling what the score will be. Auburn backers have gotten little dope on the Army players.

Not one Une of information appeared In tbe New York dallies. The papers In Gotham use very little dope on the Army team. Judging from what was printed this week. Miss Elise Sparrow, known as Miss Birmingham, was among those pulling the hardest for the Tigers. Elise has been very lucky for Auburn.

The dining room of the Army and Navy Club waa crowded with Auburn men Friday night at the alumni dinner In New York. O. E. Edwards, president of the New York Auburn Alumni Association, was the toastmaster. He told of the number of Auburn men In New Y'ork making good.

The efforts of Billy Miske to fight his way back Into another bout with Jack Dempsey collapsed wtth a flat thud Saturday as a result of his somewhat doubtful vie tory.over Tommy Gibbons on a foul Friday night In the tenth round of a scheduled 15-round bout. Twenty-seven seconds after tne tenth round had started. Gibbons shot a short right jolt to the body. Misk sank to the floor, his face distorted Into a powerful grimace and his hands clutched over his grom. Referee Mc-Fartland was not In a position to see the blow and asked the opinion of Artie McGovern, one of the Judges.

McGovern ruled it as a foul punch and Gibbons was then disqualified. Previous to the unsatisfactory ending. Gtbbona had given Miaka a thorough trouncing. The sudden ending of the fight proved unsatisfactory to a crowd of more than 13.000 fans who Jammed the garden. Miske was roundly booed when he left the ring, but Gibbons, who appeared stunned at his disqualification, came in for wild cheers.

The boxing commission ordered the purses of both Gibbons and Miske held up pending an investigation of the bout. Following the contest. McGovern, who decided on the foul blow, declared: There is no doubt that It was a foul punch, but it was not low enough to completely Incapacitate Muke.

Woodlawn Rings Up 39-0 Score Against Disque In Gadsden Gadsden, 14 Th Junior Colonels of YVoodiuwn uncorked a Uasxling string of broken field runners in their game wuh Disque High here Friday afternoon, when the locals went down to defeat by a 39 to 0 score. The game, while rather one-sided, was extremely hsrd-fought. every Woodlawn touchdown resulting from a long run or fumble and none being bucked down th field.

Levvy's 30-yard run in the first period shortly after the kick-off scored th Initial touchdown. In the second quarter Disque fumbled on her own 30-yard line after receiving the kick-off following the touchdown. Woodlawn recovered and on the first play Lundbautn broke away for a 26-yard dash. Burns then smashed through center for the remaining five jarda to a touchdown. In the last half th game developed Into a real landslide.

Lundbaum tore off one 60-yard spurt for a touchdown from a Disque fumble, and made another of the same distance after intercepting a forward pass. Levvy's 30-yaid forward pass to Lott was respon-sible for the final touchdown. The entire visiting backfleld shone brilliantly, every man being a big gainer, while of the linemen; Babe Maxwell at end stood out In splendid fashion.

Probably those stories are true. They must be true. Anone of the crowd that filled Madison missing Friday night and saw Tommy Gibbons, of St. Paul, lose on a foul to Billy Miske, his fellow townsman. In the tenth round of their bout that waa to go 13 rounds probably will believe ao Saturday.

And that "Gibbons rocked Miske with rights and lefts to the head" and that "they were exchanging when the bell rang." Tha remainder of the details don't matter much. Tommy went on. slamming away, fighting cleverly, craftily, feinting his opponent Into leuds that led only to punishment until a twist of fate In the tenth caused Gibbons' right fist to fall below Mmkea belt, and Miske to fall upon the floor and the battle to end.

PILL lowly Bottling over Rlckwood Field Friday, one minute left to play, a long, lanky Mercer end. standing on his own 10 yard line, stepped back and hurled a pass Into the waiting hands of another long, lanky Jdereer end, and the latter acampered half the length on the field for a touchdown. Score: Mercer 17, Birmingham-Southern 13. In the remaining seconds, the Panthers tried desperately to score, but time waa too abort and Josh Cody and his Mercer Baptists chalked up another win over the plucky Southerners Yea, Friday, the thirteenth, proved too big a handicap for the locals. The Panthers outplayed and out-gained the visitors for three quarters.

Even with the tweaks going in the opposite direction, the men from Sunshine Slopes had come gamely through 45 minutes of play leading by a margin of four points, the game at the beginning of the final quarter being 7-3 In favor of the locals. Shortly after the fourth period started the diminutive Mike Norton slipped off left tackle for a touchdown, clicking off 15 yards to make It. Miller kicked the goal but it was disallowed due to holding In the Panther defense. With the score, 13-3, things looked rosy enough. But the Panthers hail two clever footballers to reckon with.

Thesfe were Erwin and Smith, the two ends of the Mercer outfit. Tall and rangy, ever following the plays. It was these two lads that proved the downfall of Birmingham-Southern Friday. Early In the last period a 25-yard pass from Erwin to Smith placed the Baptists In a scoring position, from which llarmon went over In two plays, getting four the first try and eleven yards on liis sprint over the line. The Panthers resolved Into a strictly defensive style of play and with less than two minute to go, the game seemed safe enough.

However, Messre. Erwin and Smith, as good a pair of flankmen as will be found on a Dixie minor eleven, had reckoned differently. Thrilling Finish. Night was coming fast when the teams lined up for the play that proved disastrous to the locals. The Baptist quarter was calling Ills signals hurriedly.

The ball was on Mercer's 20-yard line. The back field started In a mass formation around left end. But like a flash Erwin edged out of the crowd of players, and coolly stepping back a pace or no. he hurled the ball for all he was worth. Smith, the other end scampering down the opposite aide of the field, caught the ball on the run.

Just past the 60-yard line. He shook off two tacklors, Norton barely falling to nail him, and raced acroes the line for the touchdown that won the game. The thrilling finish reads more like a Frank Merrlwell episode than an hon-est-to-goodiiess report of a football game. The spectators were on their feet-waltlng for the final whistle when the climax It was the kind of an ending that one will see only once or twice In life time. The game was a hard one for the Panthers to lose.

Once Gandy had snatched a fumble on his own 20-yard line and sprinted CO yards for a touchdown, only to bo called back by Head Llnesmun Randolph, who stated that the other referees whistle had been blown before the Mercer back fumbled. Other breaks went diwectly sgalnst Charlie Brown's clan, but the Panthers had fought gamely though It all, playing better football than their opponents and gaining perhaps twice as much ground. Good Judgment on the part of the Mercer field generals, the taking advantage of every opportunity, and a fighting spirit that knew no bounds are the things that won the game for the Mercer Baptists. Facing a 10 point lead with only half a quarter left, the Georgia lads put across two touchdowns and snatched a victory out of what seemed certain downfall. The spirit of Josh Cfody was Instilled Into bis proteges.

The great old Vnndy rear has taught his men to follow the tgll on every play, a feature of the Kerne at which Josh himself used to excel. First Score. Early in the opening period, after an exchange of punts, the locals fumbled within their won 30-sard line. Mercer recovered and tried the line three time with little gain.

dropklcked one squarely between the uprights for the first three points of the game. The Panthers were unable to put across a marker In the flrat period, although they were outgalntng their opponents. In the second period, getting possession of the ball In midfield, the locals bucked to Mercer's 20-yard line. From here Captain Miller ehot pass to Cotton" Caldwell, who was camping on the Baptist goal line. Caldwell made a beautiful diving catch of the oval and literally rolled across the line for the first touchdown.

Miller drop-kicked for point. The third period saw some tough battling In the middle of the field. The ball see-sawed up and down, neither team seriously threatening. However, Just after the beginning of the final period, Miller punted out of bounds on Mercer's 32-jard line. On the first play, a cross buck, a Mercer back fumbled and Red Richardson fell on the ball.

Rogers and Miller made first down. After carrying the ball to the four-yard line, the locals were held and the ball went over. Erwin, punting from behind his own goal line, got off a bad one, and the ball went out of bounds on his own 12-ysrd line. On the fist play Norton edged off tackle for the second Panther touchdown. Although Miller dropklcked for point.

It was disallowed because a Panther was holding. From this point on the game was all from a Mercer viewpoint. Erwin and Smith began their deadly aerial attack a moment later, the first charge netting 26 yards, alter which Harmon scored on a dash through the line. Then came the ftctlon-llke ending. In which Erwin and Smith again took the leading roles.

And so ended a game that although it took two and one-half hours to complete, never produced a dull moment. Free For All." A short free-for-all fight was a big feature of the third quarter. Fullback Hollo, of the Panthers, got off on a swinging Jaunt around end, and was crowded out of bounds without having been tackled. As he slowed up, a Mercer husky tackled him around the neck and they went to the ground together. The pair came up fighting, and a Mercer player nearby went to his comrades aid.

In less time than It takes to tell it reinforcements arrived from both sectors sideline, spectators Joining In the flctic frolic. Several hefty Jolts were delivered from both sides of the expeditionary and no doubt a few black eyes are shining In their respective glories Saturday. The melee was short lived, however, cool headed spectator and a couple of cops quelling the disturbance before much damage had been done. The teams resumed the game and no revival of the side-line battle was noticed, tbe final being cleanly played. Hoss Gandy, Caldwell, Hall and Rawls played a wonderful game In the line.

The other Panther forwards were but a little behind, and we will vouch for the fact that Charlie Brown has perhaps the beat minor college line In Dixie. In the backfleld, Miller Rollo, Rogers, Norton and Griffin, all looked good. Williams who played only a short time tore off several good gains. Greek Qrif-fine, while not an outstanding star, showed that he Is one of th best back-field men In the Panther camp by his all-round play Friday. This boy Is good.

Rogers, playing In his first game, was easily the most consistent ground-gainer of the backfleld quartet. The punting Friday was miserable on both sides. The boot would hardly average 26 yards, many of them being low as well as short. Birmingham-Southern gained on practically every exchange, but neither Miller nor Rogers were up to their usual form. The two Mercer ends, Smith and Erwin, wera the outstanding start of the Mercer team.

They are both tall, rangy luds and ideally built for flankmen. Poore, Harmon. Reese and Rogers went good In the backfleld, while Simmons, a roving tackle, played one of the best games in the line. Mercer has a fighting team, and that never-beaten spirit won for them Friday.

Sports Editor Nsshvlllt Tennossein. NASHVILLE. OcL 14. Special. Tho situation on the eve of tho Vandy-MIchlgan struggle, which will be the official opening of the 1300,000 stadium.

Is not that the Commodores can win, but how large a score will Michigan pile up on the crippled McGugglnites. For Vandy will enter the game minus the services of their star center. Sharpe, and Percy Conyers, fleet end. The latter has a leg In a plaster cast and Sharpe Is suffering with strained shoulder muscles. Kelly will replace Sharps at center, while Neil will be at end for Vanderbilt.

Coach Yost also made a shift In his line-up, sending Slaughter to center and Blott to guard to replace Eddie Johns, who was left in Ann Arbor. The Michiganders will outweigh Vanderbilt both In the line and backfleld by about five pounds to the man. Yost has two of the best ends In the conference in Goebel and Kirk, and two sets of great backs, who are not only lightning fast, but powerful. From tackle to tackle the Wolverines are not brilliant, but they are far more rugged than the Commodore. Speculation as to the size of the score centered last night upon Yost's action In the presence of ten Ohio State scouts.

With the Oberlln game regarded as only a test. Coach Wile has sent down several members of the team and spies to watch the Wolverines. On that account there exists an Impression that Yost will use no trick formations which the Ohio scouts might pick up, but will depend upon straight football and an overhead attack. The line-ups follow: Michigan Ueobel (captain), left end; Mulerhead, left tackle; Steele, left guard; Slaughter, center; Blott. right guard; Vandervort, right tackle; Kirk, right end; Klpke, left half; Roby, right half; Cappon, fullback; Vteritx, quarter.

Vandy McCullough, left end; Bomar, left tackle; Morrow, left guard; Kelly center; Lawrence, right guard; Bradford, right tackle; Nell, right end; Neely (captain), left half; Reece, right half; Wakefield, fullback; Kuhn, quar-ter. Jefferson County WinsTonghScrap Over Shelby Team DESPITE the loss or two star linemen. the Jefferson County Wildcats smashed through to a 10 to 0 victory over the Shelby County team from Columbiana, the game being played at Boyles Friday afternoon. The game was played on the thirteenth, the same number of points was scored and ('apt. Ralph Dlsmukes, who took an Important role for the victors, bore that numeral.

Shelby opened the game with a bang, taking the ball from kickoff to Jeffersons 10-yard line through a sledge hammer offensive. There an Invading back fumbled, little Bunk Taylor of the winners recovering and running It 60 yards back up the field to Shelby's 30-yard marker. After a pair of bucks had netted nothing, Blondy Littleton dropped back and tossed a beautifully executed pass to Peggy Fiord, who slipped across for the counter. Ford missed goal. The remainder of the first half was fought out In midfield, neither team doing a great deal in the way of offensive football.

The third period saw the wildcats take the oval from kickoff to Shelbys 40-yard line on offtsckle smashes. From there Cotton Littleton broke away for the prettiest run of the day. sidestepping his way to a touchdown. On a pass from place-kick formation. Ford tossed to Hall over the goal line for the extra point.

The contest was extremely hardfought throughout, with neither having any decided advantage and the winners good work In the crucial momenta being the principal factor In their triumph. Bunk Taylor, starting his first varsity game, ahowed some brilliant allround work, his tackling being especially noticeable. Littleton was the big gainer and starred on the offense, while Ross Barton, Walker and Captain Dlsmukes were the line luminaries. For the visitors. Looney, the big hairback, broke sway for a pretty 40-yard dash; he and Kancher gained most of the territory for the hostiles.

Earl Peers at left end was the defensive light, showing some fine work.
