HOWARD SCORES WIN
OVER PREDS;; PASS
IS USED EFFECTIVELY
Coach Longwell's Warriors
Score 20 to 0 Victory Over
Admission Preds
GREEN

Admission. November Especial. }
In a hard fought game the Alabama
Presbyterian college was defeated here
this afternoon by Howard college by
the score of 20 to 0.
Howard made one touchdown in the
first quarter on forward pass, Clay
ton to Gibson; two in the second quar-
ter by line bucks with McNarron car
rying the ball. but We're unable to
score in the third and fourth periods.
Howard won by successfully work :
ing the forward pass in the first half,
as in the second half of the game
they were outplayed and the ball was
kept in their territory.
The visitors worked the forward
pass in the first two periods very sue
cessfully and made good gains around
the ends. They only played a bucking
game when near the Pred's goal line,
which usually resulted in giving the
visitors the required distance. Gibson
and A. Duke a the ends played a
stellar game for Howard and proved
to be DIR. Longwells strongest defense,
as the Preds were unable to gain on
end runs, but found the line for good
gains.
Had the Preds worked with the same
speed and defense in the first quar-
ter that they showed in the last half
of the game, the contest would likely
have resulted in 0 and tie. The
Howard eleven did not show signs of
noncondition nor did they play u
strictly defensive game. but they sim

and showed better attack than they
have exhibited this season.
However. they lacked the punch to
score. A similar game has never been
witnessed in Admission.

was the outstanding feature of the
game.

to Expand Not Reckless

Detroit. November 4-Henry Ford In
a statement today denied that his plans
for greatly expanding the Ford Motor

sidered reckless and unwise" His state
ment was in reply to the temporary in
junction which Horace and John f.
Dodge obtained against tho Ford COM
pany last Thursday, restraining the COM
pany from using it's assets to develop its
business along lines recently announced
by Mr.. Ford.
In their injunction petition the Dodge
brothers, who own 10 per cent of the
Ford Motor Car company's stock, de-
manded that most of the companys I'M
mense surplus be paid in dividends to
stockholders. They alleged that Mr..
Ford's plans to buy iron mines, estab-
lish blast furnaces on the Detroit river
near here and double or treble the ca
pacity OF the Ford plant In Detroit,
were reckless and unwise-"
Mr.. Ford declared that the keynote
of his company's success has been Its
ability to sell tremendous number OF
automobiles at small margin of profit
on each car. This idea. he said was to
be carried out in his expansion plan.
The injunction case is to be heard here
on November IL. 1t has temporarily tied
up about $500 900 and seeks to compel
