TINK GILLIAN BACK

TINK GILLIAN BACK
The two extremities of the line are
well taken care of by Tink Gillian ana
Aubrey Miller, each tipping the beam
around $50 pounds. Gillian is one Of
the best football players on the squa
and should play a star game at the
wing position Saturday. These two
men have adopted as their motto
They shall not pass" and no doubts
are entertained by Panther supporters
that they will live up to 1t. Montgom-
cry. of Central High fame. will play
part of the game at end and has been
showing up well.
The 5ackfield presents a varied as
sortment of gridiron players. Scott,
veteran of three seasons in the Panther
camp. will general the team at quar-
terback through most of the contest,
and a good general he will make. He
will vie with Walker of Howard for
honors at this position. Toto Jaffa
and Tanlac Burney. the last named
diminutive little grid star weighing
only 100 pounds. will also get a chance
to display their wares in the battle
Jaffe may even start the contest.
The Panthers possess three ha.f-
backs who will rip the opposing Inc
into shreds if given any kind of
chance. These men are Eddie Lewis
Buck Larson and Jim Baty, and it is
not known which two the Panther
mentor will start. Either Of the three
are good at line bucking and skirting
the ends and all are good at running
interference.
Mike Norton. with a weight of only
100 pounds. will probably be the choice
to start at fullback although Jim
Rogers will play a large part of the
game. Norton is a charging piece OF
furniture and is one of the best SIDE
steppers on the squad He is also ore
OF the best defensive backs of the
Painters. despite his handicap in
weight. Rogers has also been playing
a good game at this position
Different men will proba bly, do the
punting for the Birmingh Southern
team.
This completes the roster OF the
gridiI on stars who will represent the
colors of Gold and Black in the chief
grid contest of the year. Howard col.
lege can put out an eleven fully as
good and the old fight. as well as the
breaks of the game. will decide the en-
counter.

Vanderbilt, a bit peeved over the fact
that the Gold and Black score has been
held SO low during the season. is gritting
her teeth in determination for the fray.
When the Commodores set their jaws
on an onrushing tide, the tide breaks and
the waves dash over the bulwarks OF Josh
Cody, Lipscomb and others into fine
spray. The Commodore defense is superb
at its best when the enemy is within
yard or so of the goal line.
IDEAL WEATHER
The offensive, which has been such
soudce of trouble to the Vanderbilt
coaches this season, has been largely and
justly attributed to the terrible conditions
under which the Vanderbilt games have
been played. The training up until the
Kentucky game, itself played in field
of mud over which a steady downpour
descended, has been woefully handicapped
by the rainy season. But the present week
has been an ideal one for football on Dud-
ley field, and the Vandy mentor and his
aides have been following course OF
training which has rarely had an equai
since the destinies of the Gold and Black
became 4 stellar feature of southern foot
ball.
Something is going to break Saturday
1t might be the great Commodore line
which has turned back invaders with a
force which made rival teams wonder how
they did it, Again the break may develop
in the pent-up energy tani- of the back
field offense, which gave its greatest
promise of improvement in the 90 tie with

strenuous practice. Coach Charlie
Browns Eridiron Painters held their
last hard workout before the aIl-in-
pOrtant contest TO be staged between
the vicious feline Panthers of Bir-
mingbam-Southern and the tenacious
canine Bulldogs of Howard. Only ono
short practice, this afternoon, lies be-
tween the Birminsham-sou COL
Iesians and the greatest gridiron con-
test between local nEEregntions ever
staged in the MnGic City.
The Panthers will enter the game
in the finest condition of the grid saa-

the exception of Bob Rowe. star end,
in the lineup, They will enter the
contest realizing that the factor that

the two elevens are as evenly matched

As the game draws near there Is
some doubt as to who the entire per

Coach Charlie Brown. the Panther

PROPST A STAR

in the line, is an accurate passer and
backs up the line as floating enter

gency.
Al guards are two good men in Slim
Neese tipping the scales at 1856, and
Stanton Candy. with IT'S pounds Of
avoir6upois. These are two heavy
charging guards, and there is little
danger of gains over them. Neese has
been starring in every game the PAN

Before I took Tanlac," continued
Mr.. Audley, Il can't say that 1 really
relished single meal ate for over
two years. My appetite was so poor
that I seldom ever wanted anything
to eat. Then, my stomach was in
such bad condition that what little l
did eat would sour on my stomach and
make me suffer like blue blazes for
two or three hours after meals. 1 sell

had to force down what I ate at the
other meals in order to keep up my
strength. Sometimes after eating l

.coristipated all the time, and suffered
constantly With dull, mean head
ache. and just felt tired and sluggish
all the time. I lost a lot in weight,
and finally got so weak and rundown
that didn't feel very much like work.
II tried about everything I knew or
hear of that was recommended for my
kind of trouble, but Tanlac is the only
thing that has done just what they
say it will do. And Tanlac did its
work mighty well, too, for it has been
several months now since / stopped
taking it, and I haven't the slightest
sign of my troubles coming back on
me. My appetite is simply fine, and
not only eat hearty breakfast every
morning, but when the. other two
meals come on I am right there ready
to eat again. 1 am never bothered
with indigestion now. and in fact, my
stomach seems to be in perfect con-
dition, and my food never sours after
meals. I have gained a great deal in
weight and feel as well and strong as
l ever did in my life. Tanlac is the
best medicine 1 ever got my hands on
and l am more than glad to take adj
vantage of this opportunity to recon-
mend it to everybody"

HOLD THE GERMANS DOWN
General Won Hammerstein Tells Them
To Leave Poles Alone.

LISA, Posen, April 16.-General
Baron Won Hammerstein, a member of
the German armistice commission, has
telegraphed the peoples council here,
saying that the entente powers had
given assurance that General Haller's
Polish troops would be used in merely
maintaining order in former Russian
territory vacated by the Germans. He
said that the trains bearing the Polish
troops would be accompanied by en-
tente officers, who would be respon-
sible for the carrying out of the terms
made between the allies and the Ger
mans.
General Won Hammerstein gives
warning that it is a, patriotic necessity
that no difficulty be placed in the way
of transporting these troops, that
there be no German demonstrations
along the way and that everything
should be avoided which might lead
to steps having most serious results.

After seeing and reviewing four pic
lures and two vaudeville shows a week
for many months and enjoying a fifty
fifty break between pleasure and
fatigue, 1 shall devote this causerie
of today to a performance. A per-
Torrance given by real and intelligent
artists. Between now and June when
the press agents will homeward fly
and the theaterS put on their summer
mourning, 1 do not hope to discover
anything ON the stage or screen that
can supplant my grateful memories of
Miss Margaret Anglin (my favorite
actress) in "Billeted." 1 have seen it
twice (and this is unusual for. like
Opportunity in the famous sonnet. 1
am accustomed to knock but once at
the theatrical portals), and yet in
thought 1 have been there often. And
when ] think of "Billeted' and Miss
Anglin / am not a dramatic critic; 1
am an idolator. From chair midway
in the parquet at the Grand, Miss An
glin is as pert, as good looking, and
as animated as ever. her carriage re-
tains its shapely cadences of empha-
sis and reticence, her shoulders are as
white, her mouth as red, and her man
ner as sprightly as ever. Her voice is
clear and faithful, and the only
change to be noted is that she is a
trifle, just a trifle, more adult. and
that the tribulations of an artistic have
made her more gracious in demeanor.
You will go far to find a more skfllful
suave Intervening of close-knit COM
edy than "Billeted." 1t is amusing,
knowing and the plot moves along
briskly, carrying things with it in
stead of getting tangled up in its own
feet. as usually happens to present day
farces and comedies. 1t was acted by
everybody as we'll as it could be acted.
and by some much better. 1 am glad
that 1 went to see Miss Anglin in "Bil-
leted.'' Altogether "Billeted" and
Miss Anglin meant practically every
thing to me. N. S. A.

TIEUPI THE SHIPPING
New Strikes Threaten in New York
Harbor and on Railroads.

New York, April 1.-two strikes
threatened New York today.
The marine workers affiliation
called a general harbor waikout for 6
a. m. tomorrow. This would again
completely tie up shipping here. A
harbor strike has been in effect for
weeks but many individuals and
groups returned to work and shipping
has been hampered but not halted.
The new strike call would put stop
to all kinds of harbor traffic The af-
filiation took this step because union
tug boat men1were called upon to tow
barges owned by non-union firms.
The other impending strike is
walkout of Brooklyn Rapid Transit
employees which would halt all ele-
waited, street car and much of the sub
way service in Brooklyn. Leaders of
the union demanding recognition of
their organization had appointments
to confer today with Federal Judge
William NJ Mayer, who named Lindley
II. Garrison as receiver of the B. r. 7.
Garrison has refused to see the men
and they are taking it up with Mayer.
Action on the strike will be taken to-
morrow night.

COAT OF PAINT.

Z a =
Anderson, Dec. 4.-How labor agi-
tators are treated in this city was
shown here recently. It was known
that'a man calling himself a, T. Law
son, a labor organizer, was in the city.
He made arrangements to speak at q
local mill in the evening, but he didn't
speak. The employees of the mill
heard of him, and they decided that
they did, not want any labor leader
"butting" into their affairs. So when
he stepped out of an automobile near
the mill, a committee, was waiting
for him. They took him to a steel
bridge nearby, it is said, stripped him
and applied liberal coat of lead
paint, and then he was loose and told
on his way rejoicing, but never to
hit this town again. It is said that he
gave man $25>to take him to Seneca
where he could catch a through train,
probably y northbound.
