PAINTERS EASILY
WIN FROM MARION
Locals Outclassed Cadets i'm
Every Department of
the Game

Marion, October 17.-(SpeciaI) Dir
mingham Southern college defeated Ma
rion in one of the prettiest fights ever
staged on the local grounds this after
noon, by the decisive score of IS to O. Up
until the third quarter it was anybody's
game, as Birmingham only scored one
touchdown in the first half.
The Painters outclassed the cadets in
every department of the game, and would
have scored at least two more touch
downs if it had not been for the many
penalties against them in the first quar-
ter. Evans, right guard, was sent out
of the game and the Panthers were PEN
allied half the distance of the goal line
for kicking a man. This heavy penalty
seemed to dishearten the game boys, and
for the rest of the half it was all they.
could do to keep the lighting bunch of
cadets from scoring a touchdown.
1t was during the first half Marion
had her only real chance to score. They
got the ball to the one-yard line and
had four downs to carry it over, but
the Panthers' line held like a stone wall.
and the ball went to Birmingham on her
own one-yard line. Marion was in strik-
ing distance of the goal all during the
third quarter and tried a series of for
ward passes that was unsuccessful.
In the second half the Birmingham
southern boys We're verify den of PAN
there turned loose. They tore into the
Marion line like bunch of wild beasts
and from the first of the second half II
w n ba
game would be. But though Marion
couldn't stop the hard-plunging backs of
the Panther eleven, they never quit fight
ing. They were outweighed by about 10
pounds to the man, but made up for the
weight in hard fight. Propst, Neese and
Levie played the best game in the line
for Birmingham Southern, while Lewis
and Larson played the stellar role in
the back field. Marion just couldn't stop
the fleet-footed Larson. 1t was Bucks
initial appearance since he was injured
in the Hamilton game, and he showed
that he still has the ability to carry the
ball that he displayed in the first game
of the season Chief Argo played the
best game for the cadets, coming
through time after time and getting the
Panther backs before they got to the
line. Wilcox and Dupre showed good
style for Marion also.
