PANTHER BULLDOG
SERIES CONTINUED
AT BAG. THURSDAY.
Birmingham Southern Has
Won First Game-BulldogS
Prepare for Comeback

TIE Howard and Birmingham-Southe
ageregations will clash in their second
battle for the city college championship
Thursday night at s o'clock. The first
contest, which was appropriated by the
boys from Sunshine Slopes. was a wild
ANA woolly encounter that would have
stirred the blood of a cigar store Indian,
and the second is expected TO be a
replica Of the first as FAR as Excitement
is toncerned. The definition of the word
action Will not allow that term to be
applied to the contest, as il is not siren
uous enough to express the situation.
From the sounds issuing forth from the
II. \. c. last Thursday night one would
have thought that several football games
were in progress beneath the Clubbers
roof.
The outcome of this weeks contest
cannot in the least be judged by the
final count of the other, for the one
thing that both of these teams possess
is the quality to come back. The last
game was toss-up till the last five
minutes Of play and, with Howard al
ready in the hole, they are bound to do
some tall scrappng in the final half of
the coming contest. Birmingham-South-
ern has it over the Howardites in SUB
stitutes and, with Propst in the whole
game. the team will be strengthened to
a marked degree.
The referecing of Gin Meyers in the
first game was OF a high 'caliper and the
chances are that he will officiate at the
clash this week. With A. G. Young IN
the umpiring job, this completes PAIR

Remove the filrn-coat

You brush teeth now, but you leave
much of the finn. A viscous film clings
to the teeth, enters crevices and stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not end
it. So teeth too often discolor and de-
cay.
Dentists now know that the reason
lies in film. That causes most tooth
troubles. And, until one ends it, brush
ing fails to save the teeth.
It is the flrn-coat that discolors, not
the teeth. Film is the basis Of tartar.
1t holds food substance which ferments
and forms acid. 1t holds the acid in
contact with the teeth to cause decay.
