Call Upon Merchants

Gall Upon Merchants
 The committee, generated by Ed Norton of Birmingham South ern and Ben Walker of Howard, swooped down on the merchants of the city in their campaign to have the town decorated for the big local event They made a flying trip all over the downtown business districst with the urgent request that the merchants place on display the Crimson and Blue and Old Gold and Black in honor of the occasion.
 In almost every instance, how ever, they found their visit was needless, as the business men had already started preparing win- dows and getting out the colors in honor of the occasion. The merchants are cooperating with the officials in charge of the game in every way.
 The moving picture houses, too, responded to the call and promised to Haunt the colors on their theatre fronts from now until the game is over Saturday. Students Assigned Reservations
 The students, alumni and friends of Howard have been as- signed reservations in the con crete bleachers on the west of the gridiron. The Panther fol- lowers will take charge of the eastern bleachers.
 This seating arrangement is better than any in the past for this annual struggle, and the crowd will have a better oppor- tunity to see a closeup of the play. Seats have been left in just the same position they were for the Auburn-Centre game, and this insures every ticket pur- chaser a good point from which to view the battle.
 Special Guests Invited
 As an acknowledgement of the good work the Boy Scouts have done in Birmingham this year, and also because the committee is just naturally interested in the scout movement, 1t was stat ed yesterday that all Boy Scouts would be admitted to the park free for the Saturday game. All that is required of a scout Is that he appear at the entrance in pniform.
 Students of the Boys Indus- trial school have been invited to attend the game in a body. too, and the Boys band has also been invited to come out for the Panther Bulldog scrap.
 With the committee busy every hour of the day. working out ar- engagements, and the business men responding to the plea to sup port this big local game. 1t looks like the stage is all set for the biggest crowd Saturday that ever witnessed a game between these institutions.

Montgomery Will Not Put Up Guarantee
 for the Athletics

Montgomery, November 16.-tSpe- cial. .)--Montgomery will not put up a guarantee of s5,000 for the reim- bursement of the Philadelphia Ath ietics while training here. The chamber of commerce today an- nounced that 1t will not attempt to make the guarantee requested by Scout Thomas Turner, who informed the organization Connie Mack would consider Montgomery If the guaran- tee were made and would contribute all funds obtained from exhibition games to the city.
 Several reasons were given for the inability of the city to make the guarantee. chief among them being the fact that the city has no large field for sports, and would have no assurance that 1t would not suffer a heavy loss during the training sea- son.

PANTHER PEP IS RUNNING HIGH AS i
 BIG GAME NEARSI
Rain Breaks Into Afternoons Workout at Munger
 Field

Pep meetings are more in style now than they have been at any time tn past years at Birmingham Southern, and it is all because the annual Panther Bulldog scrap is only three days off Up and down Munger bowl in the morning hours goes the col lege band, and then comes the "old- fashioned pep meeting, following the noon period, while pep is again abundant in the late afternoon and night. There is no doubt about 1t, we have got to fight" is the con sensus of opinion, and Howard next is the war whoop
 The ferocious Panther is licking his chops now in high glee and crav- ing feast of Bulldog meat, and when the Panther sweeps across to Rick wood Saturday from the lair in the west Birmingham mountains, he will be hard to tame. The Bulldogs may tame him, and again. they may not; but they can rest assured when the "hurly burly's done" that they have played hard-fought battle.
 Panthers In shape.
 Itdln cut Into the GdntnerS WOrk Wednesday afternoon, when great sheets of sky juice poured over the bowl. The squad was going at d hard clip when the elements of J. Pluvius intervened. and Coaches Charlie and Jenks called it an after noon and 1t really was for only long after darkness had descended did the rain s!acken. Anyway, the Panthers are in almost perfect condition. and the rest did little harm, for well over an hours work had already been put in the back ground when practice ceased.
 Student Parade.
 Plans are rapidly going forward to put over the student parade and gala affair S in the offing if weather conditions only permit. The parade Is scheduled to start at 10 a. m. at Wilson park and to proceed down Twentieth street. School spirit is overflowing on the Panthers' cam pus now as the day for the game with ancient rivals draws near, and unrest is in evidence.
 No injuries have as yet marred the weeks work, and providing nothing happens the team will enter the fray in good shape with the exception of Red" Richardson, valuable utility man, who received a broken leg in the Chattanooga fracas last Friday.

BOORDE'S FACING
 SKILLFUL 30 X E RI IN KELLY MONDAY
Freddie Meeting Classiest Opponent of Season at B.
 A. c. Monday Night

Upon what Freddie Boorde can do against skillful boxer will rest the outcome of the Boorde- Kelly bout at the Athletic club Monday night Freddie meets Battling Kelly in To- rounder at the B. A. c. next Monday night and an unusual amount of in terest has been shown In the en- counter.
 Boorde. who has fought many fights in Birmingham, has always been at his best against slugger, at least he has made his best show ings here against heavy hitting op- ponents. Jack Brady is the only real boxer Boorde has met in Birmingham. and Jack holds one decision over Boorde, but has lost three fights to Boorde since then.
 Kelly Skillful
 Battling Kelly is admittedly one of the most skillful boxers to ever box here. He is speedy and his footwork is great Kelly's skill has proven too much for many first class scrappers, and the battler holds victories over some good men.
 Kelly fights a heady battle. His plan is to outgeneral his opponent. and induce openings in which to shoot his "corkscrew" left or straight right. Kelly's footwork enables him to avoid the "haymakers" his heavier hitting opponents attempt to put over.
 BoOrde q Fighter
 Boorde, on the other hand, is a combination fighter. He can stand up to the best of them at his weight in a slugging match, while he is as clever and as skillful a boxer as al- most any featherweight In the south
 Freddie will be outweighed a few pounds by Kelly, but the little feath- erweight is not worrying about that in the least.
 "Kelly's greater weight won't bother me any" Freddie asserts. q am as husky as he is. and I believe that I can stand up to him in a box ing match. I figure that I stand an even chance of winning. anyway" and Freddie chalked his cue for a particularly difficult shot.
 A Kelly -Boorde bout has been talked of a long time, and, now that local fans have the opportunity they have desired so long of seeing these two aces In action against each other, the seasons record crowd is expected Monday night.

SPIRIT HIGH AT
 HOWARD OVER
 COMING BATTLE
Students Are Backing Team to the Limit In Effort to
 Beat PantherS
By MAXWELL ALLEN

The team at Howard is not the only thing that is getting ready for the Panther game, for members of the student body are giving their voices daily workouts for the coming game. Anyone passing near the campus about the middle of the day will be almost certain of hearing some wild shrieks and shouts coming from the college chapel
 All of the old students already have the right spirit in reference to this big fracas with the Panthers and all rats" are being rapidly taught. Fri day night the last big pep meeting of the season will be held and every student on the campus is planning 70 turn out and prepare to do some tall yelling for the Howard team.
 Saturday morning the student body and friends of the college are going to have a parade mixed with lots of music and some lusty yelling.
 Team Looks Good.
 The team is looking mighty good now. with every man putting out all he has in every practice session. The backfield this year is one of the strongest the Bulldogs have ever had, as they not only have a good set of regulars, but also have some exceptionally good reserves. "Stumpy" Clark seems to be about the best man that the Bulldogs have on the reserve list now, and 1t would not be surprising to see friend "Stumpy" do a lot of work in the biz bout. Clark Is one of the hardest hitting men on the team when it comes 10 ramming his head into the line. He has done some mighty good work throughout the year and he had shown improvement in every per- formance.
 Another man who is proving to bc one of the best of Coach Marshall's s crew of second string backs is Billie Hare. Billie came out late, but man aged to get going in hurry. and has shown some mighty good stuff in every game that he has had a chance to show in. He is still in- experienced, but he is an apt pupil and should make a might good man before he quits.
 Afford In shape.
 Othar Afford. the captain of the Bulldogs, is showing more speed than ever, and he probably will be one of the strong spots in the Bulldog line. Afford is rather light when one com pares him with the average tackle. but what he lacks In weight he makes up for in speed and punch, so there is not much danger of him being mis- treated by some bigger man in the Panther struggle.
 Everything is going fine now at Howard, and with the team improv- ing rapidly in every phase of the game, they should be able to show the Birminghamers a thing or two about football Saturday.

l have spoken of how have nar- rowed down my bag of clubs This has largely been made possible by that valuable club--the jigger. The jigger adds something to every golt- CTS range of play. 1t has so many uses and comes in so handily in so many different places that l some times think this club should be re- named. l would call it old six-ln- one. for 1 think 1 could play almost the whole game with It.
 \ Recent Addition
 The jigger came into the game in comparatively recent years. 1 don't know exactly when it made its first appearance. 1 got hold of one and 1 liked it from the start. l use 1t now so much that often 1 notice that my first impulse is to call for the digger on many different shots, and when 1 use any other club it is only after the shot has first been measured for the digger.
 The jigger will put out a drive of 200 yards easily enough. It makes good tee club when there Is 8 hill or water hazard to be carried. 1t also Is great from the tee when the play CT wishes his ball to stop dead. I the ball Is hard hit with it. l think there is tendency to impart some back spin to the ball which makes the shot fall with little run. As l always have believed that golf should be played through the air, this use ot the digger appeals to me. 1 usual ly use my digger for pitch shots to the green unless the pitch is very short. For long pitches, say 150 yards. I find the jigger better than the midiron.
 Use digger Pathway
 Out on the fairway l always use the digger for the short iron shots and l find myself the last year or so inclined to press the jigger little instad of taking longer iron. get better results that way. 1 can hit the ball little high with the digger and get almost brassie distance with truer flight.
 To alternate the fall practice and make it more interesting the player might well look to the manner in which he keeps his weight ahead of his shot. If he falls to do this the old enemies. slice and hook, appear. The player should hit distinctly from

BEAUTY HINTS

Folly to advise against a bit of
touching up when a faint color takes
years from ones age!
A delicate color d~elicately applied
often does wonders with a face
that's a little too white and a little
too thin.
But mustn't ever let the color
stay on all night. A very thorough
cleansing should take ii all off.
otherwise the result will be a spotty
skin.
You can make a vegetable
Yourself. inexpensive. you know, and
harmless.
Wash, dry and crate several fresh
beets. Mix the resulting juice with
carbonate of magnesia until you
have the desired tint. That is a par
ticular part. Remember TO have il
rather bright if you're blond and
deeper If you're dark skinned.
Then cover with gauze and put in
the sun to dry out.
This, of course. is a powder rouge
which is really very nice. You can
scent 1t If you wish. That should
be done while you are adding the
beet juice.
A paste rouge al be made by
melting cocoa butter and a little
sweet almond oil over hot water.
Remove from the heat when melted
and whip hard. Then add enough
powdered carmine to make the de-
sired shade. The cocoa butter and
almond oil should be in equal pro-
portions.
