BULLDOGS BEN GI WORKED BY LIGHT OF THE MOON NOW
Coach Marshall Sparing Nothing In Preparation for
 Big Game Saturday
By MAXWELL ALLEN

practice by at Howard college, but it is not because they don't need them, as anyone walking by Eagles field after dark might still see someone hitting the ground or hear someone &runt on being hit. This week is proving to be the hardest week of practice that the Bulldogs have ever had, and if they continue to observe the long hours and do the good work that has prevailed this week, Bir mingham- Southern will have more than handful to hold the Bulldogs back. The line is getting off quicker and charging lower and harder than ever,
 Garrett Out of Gamt.
 Only one bit of gloom has marred Towards big practice week, and that is the announcement that Garrett will not be able to start at his tackle on account of injuries received in the Florida and Spring Hill games. Gar retts knee was badly hurt in the Florida game, and in the lillian af- fair it was hurt again. so he prob ably will not be able to play any more this season. This will weaken the Bulldogs considerably, as he is one of the best lnesmen that ever donned q Howard uniform.
 Big Jumbo" Lambert looks good to get the call to start at Garrett's tackle when the festivities start Sat urday. In the other games of the season he has been playing guard, but he is also a good man at tackle. so he probably will be called upon to perform at this position in the Panther battle. Jumbo" is mighty good lnesman, with both weight and speed added to a lot of punch, so he is expected to besa big joy killer in the Panther camp.
 BackfieId Looking Good.
 The backfield is looking good cf late, and is working better than ever. Lee Ford who has been the ace of the Bulldog backfield all of the sea son. is still the same old, ace, with little more speed and drive. Ford is one of the best men that ever ca vorted on Eagles field and if he is in shape when the Panther clash starts he is being counted on to show the Partners something that they have not seen before this year in the way of football playing.
 Dan Gaylord will be the only man in the Howard backfield who has been in Howard Birmingham Southern game before, and he is more anxious than ever to get Il chance at the Panther line. Dan has not had much of chance to show his stuff in running with the oval this year on account of not being all lowed to carry the ball much, but every time that he has carried it he has shown that he has speed and Is a good broken field runner. Aside from being d good man when it comes to carrying the ball, Gaylord can also do some nifty work when 1t comes to running interference. He can not only do these things, but he is also some kicker, passer and tackler. He may not pull anything sensational against the Partners, but if he gets d chance at their line he is sure to give a good account of himself. /
 Lackey at Half
 Jess Lackey is the other man who will go in at half against Coach Charlie Browns crew of footballers. Iaclxey is one of those short, speedy individuals who is a bear cat at side stepping and line plunging, and he should do some nice work against the Panthers.
 Bull Cooper will do the fullback- ing for the Bulldogs Saturday, and he is also going to enedavor to prove to the Panthers that even though 1t isn't Burney Acton at full again this year they will still have big prob lem to solve in stopping the Bulldog fullback. Cooper is husky enough and fast enough to worry any team'A line, and if he is in shape Saturday things should be very interesting for the Panther linesmen. who have ann bitions toward throwing people for losses.
 As whole, the Bulldog backfield of this year Is one of the best that Howard has ever .yroomed for bat tie with the Birmingham Southern outfit. The whole team is working fine now, and if dame fortune or some other supernatural being < doesn't frown in the direction of East Lake. 1t looks as though Howard stands chance of making up for last Season'S downfall
