The battle will mark Tuskegee- third appearance in Texas. The Tigers played their first game in, the Southwest when Tuskegee and I'rairio View met in Houston in liCl and the Tigers won 7 to G. The se-c-ond trip wa made hi and Paul Quinn held the Tigers to a scoreless tie, and the third will be January 1. Coach Abbott will spend two weeks rehearsing his men new plays, which will be used against the Prairie View Panthers. The final week of preparation will be devoted to polishing up his passing attack and lengthy signal drills.

Coach Taylor has the distinction of giving the Tigers their only defeat since when Morehouse noosed them out to 6 to 0. Coach Taylor while at Clark handed them this defeat. Nothing would please Taylor better than to hand Abbott's bunch another defeat. The Tuskegee coach is worried over his coming clash as his line fails to charge fast enough or hold in the pinches. The back field will have to pick tip additional speed against Taylor's boys to be able to hold their own.

Stevenson and six of his senior mates will be in action for the last time and a great battle may be expected. Shanklin, Adams.
