PENSACOLA HIGH
WILL PLAY LAST
GAME OF SEASON
To Stack Up Against One of the
Strongest Teams that Locals
Have Met this Season.

The last football game of the sea-
son on the high school schedule will
be played this afternoon when the
Tigers grappIe with the huskies from
Bay Minette, Ala. According to the
reports that have reached the city by
several different means the local boys
are going to have to exert every ounce
of strength they have to emerge from
the conflict as y4ctors. They have won
the last three games and are anxious
to close the season with a win, but
they realize that they have got to work
for it.
This is the last time that several of
the high school boys viii be seen in
action as they are graduating this
year and will retain only a memory OF
the days of high school football-and
those are glorious days. This is their
last game and they are going to make
an effort to finish their high school
football career in grand style.
According to the dope that is being
circulated around town the Bay Min
cite team is one Of the strongest teams
that. the local lads have on the 1921
docket. Spring Hill won over them
by practically the same score that they
trimmed the Tigers, and in the face Of
these facts the Tigers have got to go
some. Coach Banks announced yes
terday afternoon that they were a
strong team but he was optimistic, for
he had confidence in his teams ability
to score victory.
The people in town have not been
attending the high school games that
have been played at Maxent Park as
they should have this year but the
boys have said nothing of this lack of
support because they realized that it
was hard for the business men to
leave their business on Saturdays, most.
of the games having been played on
that day. But there is no excuse for
lack of attendance at this afternoons
game, for practically every place of
business in the city will be closed all
day.
Let's turn out folks and prove to the
boys that we are behind them; that
their interest is our interest; that their
school is our school, and that we want
them to be second to none. Probably
today several years ago you were just
at the stage that they now occupy, or
probably memory carries you back to
your college days when you turned out
with your school colors flying to cheer
your team to victory. Those We're
great days for you. and today is the
big day for these lads Come out and
revive those old memories, lend the
boys your support for they need it and
there is no question about it being APP
preciated. Something has been said
about the ragged uniforms in which
the boys appear on the field. Whose
fault is it? Think that over.
The game begins at about o'clock,
and the cars run every few mintes,
and you are off for the day so there Is
no excuse. Don't miss it for if you do
you will miss 9. good one.
The student body will turn out en-
masse this morning and parade the
streets, yelling and demonstrating to
the people that they have got the pep,
and they are backing the Maroon and
White to a man. Miss Amante Semmes
has been chosen sponsor for the game
and she with her maids will attend the
game with the school colors unfurled.
