Bulldogs Ready
 for Clash With
 Auburn Tigers

Sounds like the grinding of skulls in the ears of the person who happens to be passing in the vicinity of Eagles field these days between 1 o'clock and dusk, but he should have no fears of murder going on around him, for it is only the husky gridders of Coach Mar shall getting in the pink of condition for the Auburn fracas, which is to be pulled off Saturday on the Plainsmen's $ campus.
 The Bulldogs are showing the results of work, for they arc not only in better physical condition, but they are also showing more pep in getting away when the ball is snapped. The backfieio men are getting so that they cling to the old pgskin ferociously when once 1t comes their way. These points will en- able Howard to put up better game when they go out on the field to try 1 their skill against the Auburn Tigers Sat- urday.
 sAs for the Bulldog sick list, the occu- pants of places on this list are much better themselves and unless some hard working player gets over enthusiastic in scrimmage, the Marshall eleven ought to go down to visit the Plainsmen with everybody in the best of shape. | Gaylord, who has been out or the game for the past few days as a result of kick over the kidney in scrim- mage a few days ago, seems to be just about whole again, that is judging from the way he gets around the field now adays. With Gaylords speed. the back i field ought to be considerably strengtn. ened. Gaylord gives a goou account of himself when called upon to stick his dome in the opposing line.
 Another thing that is looking better for the Howard squad is the bunting department. BIackwelder, Mccullough
 and Acton are the men who have been looking after the kicking end of the
 game for Howard and, while not one of them can equal the putting of their predecessor, o. B. Newman, 1T they keep on improving in the future like they have for the past week, they ought to be able to boot the old football far enough to keep the Howard goals out of danger.
 The main shake-up in the backfield has taken place at quarterback. Toby
 Robinson. who has been out of the game for the past week with an injuryN has
  McLane who is now being troubled by a bum trilby, which he injured in the tGssle with Morgan. McLanes injury IS not very bad and it is probable that he and Robinson win share the burden of running the backfield together Saturday The line is certainly in fine condition, 1 for there is not a man playing on II with & worse injury that a brurse or a | scratch or two about the face. In the l game with Auburn, with possible
 shake-up around end, the line will be the
 same as that which started against the Morganites. Brindley will probably DC l back at center. The two I-amberts stit seem to have the market cornered around guard, and Afford and Carter will stil have their jobs at tackle. Lee Head i' l a fixture at one of the ends, but the other one seems to be a little undecided ] Aside from having a good varsity line the Bulldogs have q dependable bunch of scrubs in Britton. Newman, Walker Thomas, Ripper and Doster.
 1 There were two new men out Wednes- l day. They were Garfield, who is pretty
 sure to try for the line, and Whitfield who will also try to grab off one ol
 the line positions. Both of these boys
 are green but are real husky and arc 1 just itching for work.
