Lincoln Tackles Douglass Saturday Night

Lions Take Henderson Team in Stadium, 8 P. M

The Lincoln Lion, potential football greats in high school circles will tangle with their ancient rivals, the Douglas high school Bisons in an inter-state battle, Saturday night in the Lincoln Stadium at 8 o’clock. The lions, fresh from a 19-6 triumph over the strong College Hill Bulldogs, under the tutleage of smart and wiry Coach Porter, will “throw” a strong pass-scor-ing combination on the field against the Bisons. Business Manager C. E. Rochelle states that a capacity erowd is expected to witness this “20th Century Grudge Battle" between two great high school football machines. The same lineup shown below) that wag used against the Columbia, Tenn., warriors will be used against the Kentucky teams, according to Coach E. C. Niles. The Lions have lost only one game this season and that was to the Pearl High warriors of Nashville, Tenn., It was a tired and sleepy team that played against the Tennessee team, said Captain Israel Jones, after the contest. The scone was 6-0, the result of a blocked punt. Heavy Field at Columbia Down in Columbia last Friday, on a wet and soggy slanting field, under very adverse weather conditions, the Lincoln Lions fought for four full quarters to gain a 19-6 victory over the strong Red Clay warriors of College Hill before a large but well soaked crowd who braved a drizzling rain to .see the two teams in their annual battle. The first score was the result of a pass from quarterbacf Tates in the third quarter, once when Captain Jones, tackle, scooped a. Columbia lateral and. “romped to ‘pay dirt’, the next one came when McFarland, ace tackle, blocked a lateral pass and ran to score. He also place kicked for the extra point.

The Columbia team scored in the fourth quarter when Lockbridge plunged over after Lincoln had been penalized 15 yards for roughness. H. Fields, Tunly, Campbell, Lovelace, C. Turpin, Skinner and Coates also were in the thick of the fray for the Lions.

ion.

, Beckwith will be given a chance to redeem himself Nov. 29 at the Stadium. Meanwhile Pastor was dickering over several tempting offers Including $15,000 from Larry Atkins, Cleveland promo-

ter, to meet Lem Franklin.

Beckwith started strong but ran into a flurry of punches which floored him in the sixth round for a nine count. He tripped and fell in the seventh and again stayed down for a-count of nine. The official attendance was 9.881 and grbss receipts were $25,315.24

Pastor Has Big Edge

LINCOLN REVAMPED FOR LANE Diciplinary Move Clips Squad JEFFERSON • CITY, Mo. Noy. 8—With their sixth gridiron' tilt of the season, a home game Saturday, Nov. 15, with the Lame College Dragons facing them, the Lincoln Tigers with-a* 1 out of 5 average in games played so far are in for a drastic shakeup. Capt. Cobb Injured It isn’t the games lost column that is wholly responsible for the shake-up, Coach Ray Kemp announced this week that he has had the same kind of trouble that Ohio State’s Coach Brown is supposed to have had with Obarley Anderson—and he is applying a similar , treatment. The Lincoln mentor has stated in no uncertain .terms that he is interested.. only ;; in men who take their athletics seriously enough to observe training rules. For this reason it is expected that there will be certain Tigers not quite so honor ably absent from trie line-up as will be: Captain Bobby Cobb-r-legitimately out of harness because of an attack of rheumatism which struck the veteran thekle 'three days before the Kentucky game, and which has disabled him for further play in this, his last season. Lane Is Strong Lane steam-rollered from the ranks of the undefeated by Florida 48-0 with, nevertheless, be warily watched by the Tigers— many of whom will be the inexperienced men whoi watched the , Morris. Brown and Kentucky battles from the bench. A tentative' line-up for the Lane game issued by Coach Kemp reads as follows: L.E. Wallace, L.T, Brewer, L.G. Bohannon (Henderson)) O, Turner (Moss, Howard) R.E. Saunders, R.T. Smith, R.G. KilImgsworth, Q.B. ; Brown, L.H. Thompson, (Barksdale), R.H, Clayton, F.B. Sneed.

BECKWITH, FRAMU.INLOUIS The collapse of Booker Beckwith before the relentless attack of bobbing Bob .Pastor,- was not wholly unexpected, by Sports Pe irusals. Beckwith’s - inexperience in the 'ring with Pastor, was nc more glaring than the inexperience- - he was far overmatched enee ‘ shown by the Beckwith .board... of strategdy in - making such a match. Beckwith, a kid of 21, was outclassed in weight, age } kill , and rijn-g exp or iA lad of clean habits, I am told he could match the white boy Only in condition. The fight held in' the '.largest indoor arena in the country, the Chicago Stadium, was witnessed by a near capacity sell out. Booker had the books Stacked against him before the ink dried on the contract for the match. He never had a ehance. Bobbing Bob, took the Gary flash’s, best “Sunday punches” in the opening round and came back to administer one of the most ruthless boxing exhibitions ever seen in a Chicago squared circle. He dropped the youngster for a count of nine in the sixth, to the Attucks 15 yard line. However, Glover intercepted a pass on his 10-yard lihe and raced 90 long yards down the field to make the score, - 14-13. but the try for the extra point failed. Linoqln smashd 77 yards down the field to get their third marker Rupert scoring c* a' nine yard plunge.

aind therafter the lad’s attempt Booker was able to reach the New Yorker with exactly four at defense was a sight of woe. punches between the sixth and final round, .he took another count of eight- in the seventh and it was very evident he was only trying to last, the length of the bout. In the tenth, he came out. bloody, leather marked, and battered the last and another hopeless round, he was a badly beaten fighter and the crowd knew it- - - but I guess you just qan’t judge the heart of a winner until he lays it on the line against a better man- - - So much for the fight. Bob Pastor is one of the most intelligent men to ever work in the Marquis Queen’s bracket. He has a college background from NYU, his ring ability rates him the No. 1 “trial horse” in the heavy ranks, he is One of the few men that has twice faced heavyweight champ i on Joe Louis. This statement alone speaks creditably for his skill and durability. He is in line for the precedient setting 3rd bout with the champ. He has whipped most of the ring’s best heavyweights. - - how then did Booker manage to

get in the ring with the New Yorker? Lem Franklin, a full fledged heavyweight with title aspirations end several heavyweight campaigns behind him, Was Jn New York after top-ranking bouts, but they took Beckwith, who has not been, in pie heavyweight division 6 months, the son of a minister and weighing only 168 lbs. They threw him to the lean and hungry: Pastor,. who may have done something < ' fo the lad that is irreparable.. . ,. • ' » The directorship of champion Joe Louis, in his quest for - the title was above reproach. Even in his lone defeat he w’as never overmatched and was later acclaimed the “Superman” of the ring. Negro managers would do well to pattern their system of matchmaking after the Bomber board of strategy. Louis has proved he had the guns to fight anyone but he was never overmatched. The Negro public is a sharer holder of interest in the ranking fighters of our file and we do not wish to see our up arid coming representatives sacrificed to the zeal and ego of the Pas 1 " tors- - until they are ready. g “Adios Dusty”
