Howard Bulldogs Are
Working Harder
Than Ever for
Big Game
ny HARwELL ALLEN

Out at Howard college this week
things are moving faster and the
whole college, including the football
team, Is buster than it has been in
many days; In preparation for the
battle which comes off Saturday a.
lockwood between the Bulldogs and
the Painters.
At the first OF the year the Bull
dogs were Inclined to be somewhat
oyerconfident over the prospects of
grabbing the game from the Pam
theirs, because of Birmingham South
erns loss of SO many of last years
stars. However. since the Panthers
battered the Chattanooga colors to
the ground last Friday, the Bulldogs
are taking a different viewpoint of
the coming fracas at lockwood.
Meccasins Bent Bulldogs
1t will be remembered that the
Moccaslns beat the Bulldogs not SO
long ago by a score of &c to g. The
Chattanoogans had a great team, and
all of the Howard gridders were in
clined to believe that the defeat was
Just a result of meeting a>team out of
their class. But since the Panther
Moccasin fracas. it is different The
Howardites now realize that, il their
team is superior to the Birmingham
Southern eleven, they should have
beaten the Moccasins, so they are
devoting all of their efforts this week
to getting in shape to be at their
best against the Panther eleven.
The team as whole emerged from
the Spring Hill clash with every one
in fairly good shape, only one man
| falling to report to practice yesterday
on account of injuries. Garrett. the
big boy who has been playing a stel-
lar game at tackle, got, his knee in
| jured again in the game at Mobile
| Saturday. and the coaches are very
doubtful If this husky individual will
be ready to go when the whistle
blows Saturday. II Garrett is not
in the lineup, It will mean that How
ards chances will be severely hurt,
as he is one of the best men on the
Bulldog line. and 1t will be rather
| hard this late in the season to find
man capable of filling CARROTS
shoes.
| Pat shores Out
| Pat Shores is out again with a
/ carbunele on his arm, but he expects
1 to be able to play in Saturdays
| fracas. Shores has been having hard
| luck this season, but just the same
he has managed to be in most of the
| games, and he has always been one
| of the outstanding figures of the
| Bulldog defense as well as offense.
! If Pat can keep in shape and be
| ready for the game Saturday, he
should play mighty big part in
| helping the Bulldogs overcome their
| Panther foe.
Aside from Shores and Garrett. the
| remainder of the linesis looking good
| and seem to be getting in better
| shape every day. One of the fea-
! lures of the line performance of late
has been the playing of Toby Stubs
! at guard. Stubbs started the season
at end, and. while he performed wen
1 at this position. he did not hit his
stride until he was shifted to guard
when one of the Howard linesmen
! was injured. Since that time Stubs
| has been playing a great game and
! he is now rated as one of the best
linesmen that the Bulldogs have, and
i great things are being expected OF
| him in the coming tilt with the
J Painters.
Roberts About In shape
Roberts. the big husky who halls
| from Oklahoma, Is getting back in
! shape again after being out of the
| game for a good while ON account of
an injured shoulder. He Is another
