fii.tu.f fastest most remarkable taken it world series. Central High School football eleven vanquished the Tuscaloosa High School team at Rlckwood Field Saturday by the score of 34 to 0. The game was featured by good and bad playing on the part of Central, while the tight, Inexperienced visiting team, put up a plucky fight throughout In the first hal Central scored 27 points In easy fashion, but there was a different tale In the second half when the visitors braced after a rather bad start and kept Central In her own territory. Captain Thompson, the stocklly built little fullback for tbe visitors, was easily the star of the game. On the defense he made practically every yard gained for Tuscaloosa on line bucks over the right side of his own line.

Somehow or other lie Just seemed tu wiggle right through the bunched interference for gains of five and six yards, time after time. His punting was the real feature though, for It kept Tuscaloosa out of danger of being scored on no less than eight times. His punts average 0 yards easily and he was pushed on one of them. On the defense he was a bear, getting half of the tackles made by his team, being very good on sizing up Centrals play. Jackson was the only baekfleld man who could gain for Central with any consistency through the line.

Levvy, llaiks and Watkins got away for several long end runs. Harks and Levvy on runs of less than thirty yards scored the only two touchdowns made by the Central backs. Taking the work of the baekfleld as a whole, It was not up to the Central standard, mie Centrals line, especially the right Jounson plunged across.

Norris Williams national tennis champion, although he now holds the title for the second time In his career, will be given first rank by the ranking committee this Winter for the first time. Williams has been a victim of fate. When he defeated Maurice E.
