1 SPRING HILL WINS FROM HOWARD IN HARD FOUGHT TILT
HilIians Nose Out Bulldogs in the Last Quarter, Win
 hing 7 to 0

Mobile, November 1f.-tSpecial.1--
 Too much O'Shee, combined with the
 telling work of Wingling and Davis, caused the visitors from Howard to
 go home with long faces. while the Spring lillian history of victories
 was repeated at Monroe park yester- day afternoon, when they met the Birmingham delegation .n the annual clash. And to the victor practically went the undisputed claim of the state college championship. the win coming by the lonesome touchdo wn made in the last half of the last quar- ter of play.
 With only two minutes to play the visitors rallied from the wound and started off down the field determined to give as well as take. and by the : time the Hillians recovered from the ! surprise Howard had nearly crossed the length of the field, going from the shadow of one goal line to that of the other. There the rally died, and the ball went over after reaching within four yards of the locals goal
 The comeback staged by six success i've forward passes. all made by Ford and to three men, each one catching the pass and then coming back for l a second. The receivers were Shores for the frs two, Clark for the sec ond and Lackey for the third. DrOpkick Falls
 Throughout the game the Hillia1s were favored in aggressive work, but. for the first three quarters, only enc time were they within scoring dis tance. That time dropkick was att tempted. but went wide, and there after the ball was played in the mid d1a n ffR1d nr1x eli ryI In tavor of the Hill side. A see-saw game was started off, when the How ard team received and a few attempts at line plunging and an occasional forN ard pass or end run kept the two teams on mettle. Otherwise | keeping their own line out of dan ger seemed to be the idea.
 The second quarter. was repeti- tion of the first, and the third fol- lowed in like manner. Good head
 work and team playing featured the first three quarters, though occasion ally an individual starred for gains
 through the line or broken field runs.
 But in the last quarter the teams lost
 track of their own goals and started
 out for their opponents. It was in
 this quarter. that swift, hard fought football was given the 2b00 fans.
 The quarter starred off as usual, l but after getting warmed up the
 teams and individual puts out every
 thing they had. With the ball In tho
 middle of the field. Spring Hill start
 ed down the field, and, by a series of bucks brought it to the Howard l 20-yard line. There Davis fumbled, | but freak of luck was rule of the i day, and the referee ruled both teams
 were offside and the ball was given
 back to the Hillians and the down not counted. The ball had been car 1 ried to that position by O'Shee's s wor, who plunged through center
 time after time for regular gains. He carried it again to the 15-yard line, and then carried 1t to the 10. Wing
 ling went through and was halted at the four-yard line and ,on the next l play. Wingling made a pass to Da- | wis, who was standing on the goal l line. It was a regular catch by the | quarter and one that could have been handled only once probably in ! game. But that once happened to
 be at the right time and all that was needed. Brown kicked goal, making l the score ' to 0.
