CAGE FIVE

Keel, Lincoln Fullback; Outstanding Player of Game On Defense

Hoosiers Complete Ten Out of Nineteen Attempted Passes A highly spirited eleven representing the Purple and Gold ot Lincoln High will take the field tonite at 8 p. m., to throw its full Strength against an arch rival, Henderson’s Douglas Hi Bisons in a gridiron battle that will surely go down in history as one of Evansville’s greatest gridiron clashes. This will not be a homecoming but judging from the advance talk and sale of tickets the stadium will be packed and jammed for thi s annual classic. The Lions are gunning for this one game more so than any other of the season because they are anxious to seek sweet revenge for the defeats, 9 to 7 and 12 to 6, handed the Evansville warriors by the Kentucky lads. SHAKE UP IN LINEUP— PPOBABLE Due to a foot injury suffered by Bronson, ace signal barker and a lacerated foot suffered by Tyler, fleet back, there will be probably a shift in the line up with Killebrew calling signals instead of Bronson and probably Wagner occupying Tyler’s halfback position, but if the injured players improve they will see some action in the game. Catlett, big rugged tackle is also on the injured list suffering from a bruised shoulder. McFarland is being groomed to take this place. Duncan and Hargrove, guards,' may see a lot of action in the game Saturday as they have showed up well in practice sessions. Coach Niles has made some changes in the lineup, shifting Killibrew to quarterback for his blocking' and Chas. Jackson will take over the fullback duty while Keel will be at center. The Lions will be dressed in their new uniforms consisting of new gold whipcord pants when they meet the Bisons. Probable Starting Lineup

LINCOLN and COLLEGE Wtt.t. By LESLIE SANDERS (Sports Editor) COLUMBIA, Term., Sept. 29— Today, before a large enthusiastic gathering of football fans, the Lincoln Lions and the College Hil) football team battled to a scoreless tie on a muddy held. Both teams 1 , were very tired after sixty minutes of battling with neither one able to telly. The Lions outplayed their Tennessee foes but hampered by a sloppy field and a wet ball they were unable to cross the

touchdown stripe. The defense of each team was greater than une offense of the other with Lincoln threatening in every quarter while College Hill almost reached the “promise land” in the first and second periods. In the first quarter when the game was but a few minutes old, the Lions made one of their biggesjt sccoring gesture^ when Barrett, Keel and Tyler lugged the wet pigskin to the Tennessee crew’s 30-yard line. A fiveyard penalty set the Lions back momentarily but after a series oil passes' by Barrett to Culver and Kirby, the Lions again advanced near the goal of their opponents, up to the ten-yard stripe where a plunge and three passes failed to materialize in the necessary yardage for a ..score. At this point the College Hill warriors took posession of the ball and gained three yards. On the next play, Jordan, a neat ball “tater”' and a constant threat to the Lions, ran through tackle for 30 yards. Then Horn, Edwards and Jordan alternated in carrying the ball to the 25-yard stripe of the Indiana warriors. On the next play, Keel broke through to throw the ball carrier for a loss m Ven yards ' At this point the Tennessee boys attempted a pass that was intercepted by Barrett, which ended the scor-

On the next play, Tyler, Lion back, intercepted a pass to end the threat. Bronson’s pass to Killibrew in the third frame was good for 22 yards but they lacked the scoring punch to put the ball over. Coach Niles’ fighting Purple and Gold warriors of the gridiron became desperate and took to the air in the final minutes of the game with Yates, Bronson and Turpin hurling the oval with accuracy into the wailing arms of Killibrew who carried the ball to the 20-yard line of the Tennessee team from the Indiana team’s 35-yard line. With less than a minute to nlav Killibrew let the wet ball sl5 through his fingers as he stepped | across the goal line. Yates’ pass to Killibrew was good for H yards as the game ended.

Lineup and Summary

(Sports Specials)

As I was standing on the corner of one of Derbyville’s noted corners (Lincoln and Governor) all diked out) in my new Lincoln League Jacket, I was accosted by a very charming young miss who inquired as whether 1 accompanied the Lions to Tennessee. To this I answered in the affirmative. Then she made the following remarks,” it ig a pity that Coach Niles had to take his charges 204 miles to a small country town to be held to a scoreless tie and that Lincoln did not have a team.” At this stage of the chatter I began to turn red (imagine me turning red) and to keep from insulting the fair damsel I remained silent. Then she tripped lightly away after outburst of chin music. Now that she has left the stage, may I take the speaker’s platform? Thank you.

The Lincoln Lions really fought from the opening to the closing whistle and a bang] up game at that. About an hour previous to the game if started raining thus converting Fairview Park (where the game was played between Lincoln Lions and College Hill in Columbia, Tennessee, Friday, September 29) into a very muddy field that sloped from the goal line to the 35-yard stripe—tnen it tapered off until you reached the 45yard line where it was sloped again. In other words, the 50yard line was in a- valley.

Barrett protested such ACTION, and after some delay the ball was put back into Ptey a s it should have been In the third frame, Killibrew, Lincoln’s end was on the Columbia’s five-yard line attempting to catch a pass when a Tennessee Player deliberately tripped him.

Teams Serve Notice ofi Football Threat (By Roy E» Dixon for ANP) DAT J.AS, ' (ANP)—The second week of gridiron hostilities in the Southwestern area found me final results panning out according to most football kibitzers’ predictions, but Xaxigr’s 2-0 triumph over Tuskegee, and Arkansas State’s similar decision over Louisiana Normal were by eyelash margins entirely overlooked in the generaT forecasting. Last Week College Football Results Bishop 14 Leland 6 After a scoreless first half in which the invading Leland eleven more than held their own on even terms, the potent Bishop Tigers began rolling goalward at the beginning of the third quarter, and pushed over two touchdowns in rapid succession Friday night at East Texas Fair Park stadium, Marshall. Bob Hudson converted both extra points from placement to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead. The Leland outfit retaliated in the fourth period and scored via aerial route on a well directed toss from Captain Robinson, Leland’s stellar triple threat back. Robinson not only turned in 60 minutes, but was the best all around back on the field that night. Walters, Hardes, Eaton, Gillis. and Redmond were outstanding for Bishop. Southern 26 Ala. Normal 6 With "Pelican” Hill apparently fully recovered from his lightning shock several weeks ago, the ^Southern University Juggernaut surged to a 26-6 triumph over Alabama Normal Saturday in the Jaguars new $154,000 stadium. The offense minded Jaguars piled up 18 first downs to Alabama’s 8 as Hill scored two touchdowns, and Billes and Green one each for the victors. Mumford used 3 complete teams in the melee. Xavier 2 Tuskegee 0 The Xavier Gold Rush made its 1939 football debut on a muddy field before 2,500 spectators at New Orleans Saturday, and had to be content with a 2-0 nose decision over Cleve Abbott’s valiantly fighting underdog Tuskegee Tigers. The lone score came as the result of an automatic safety in the second quarter. Summers, Paxton, Elliott, Gravely and Williamson shone outstandingly for the Gold Rush, while Pearson, Slade and Carter starred for Tus-

kegee.

Arkansas 2 La. State 0 Bill Taylor’s Arkansas State Lions had their hands and manes filled with Emory Hines’ Louisiana Normal gridders all Saturday afternoon, but finally earned the nod over the plucky visitors by the 2-0 safety route. State had a decided 14-5 edge in first downs, but faulty generalship in the clutches nullified several fine scoring opportunities. The playing of Mason, Buddy Allen, Clark, Wagner and Bradshaw were bright spots in State’s unimpressive victory, while the fine defensive work of Wright and Miller was nothing short of herioc for the Grambling, Louisiana
