PANTHER ELEVEN
 GETTING IN SHAPE. FOR THE BULLDOGS.
Charlie Browns Boys Confi- dent of Giving Bulldogs
 Some Scrap

Gradually the old pep is rising out on Sunshine Slopes now, as the day for the Bulldog scrap hears. It has not reached it's zenith yet, but it is already floating around the hills of Owenton in great gobs, as work rushes forward in preparation for the battle of Rickwood that Is being looked to in such a blood-thirsty manner by the enthusiastic fans of the two schools.
 Amid the blaring blares of the Gold and Black band and the yells of the over-anxious followers, the squad went in full force Tuesday afternoon until the dusk of eve stopped the practice. If ever two Panther coaches put their men through the ropes at full speed for the annual Bulldog Panther game, Coach Charlie Brown and Jenks Gillem are the two coaches that are doing it now.
 Up and down the confines of Nun ger bowl those fighting jungle cats are at work They are practieiag everything that can be drilled into them, and every man Is in condition The old pepper that is being wrought up is being absorbed by the Panther warriors themselves and the fight is having to be constrained and care fully held in reserve, to be cut loose against those wild and tenacious Bulldogs from out East Lake way when they trot out on Redwood greensward Saturday afternoon to do battle against the "Hilltoppers.'
 Panthers Not overconfident
 The mountaineers will not enter the fray in an overconfident state of mentality Saturday just because they upset the dope and defeated Chatta- nooga in the Armistice Day battle. after the Bulldogs had lost previ- ously in the season to these same Chattanooga Moccasins. The Panth- CTS realize that this dope in compara- tive score counts for nothing in this coming clash, and they also realize that in comparative score that the Howardites have slight edge from the final results in the three games played by the same three teams that have met the Panthers. In the Ma rion Institute game the Panthers emerged the victor by 19 to count and the game was played on the home lot, while the Bulldogs beat the Cadets 21 to 0 in Montgomery. How ard gave Millsaps an awful drub- ping early in the season by 45 to o count, while the Birmingham Southern team only held them to tie later in the season. The fact that the Partners were playing them on their home soil and with a crippled lineup offsets some of the edge here. Then Howard travels up to the Look out city and falls before the Uni versity of Chattanooga onslaught 26 to 8, while. the Panthers beat the 'Noogans last Friday IA to 2. Chat tanooga was in crippled state. somewhat, from few injuries re- ceived in the Sewanee game, and this lessens their edge. Looks like, an even go now and the Cats are not hurt with over-confidence nor are they in a pessimistic mood.
 Same Line-Up
 The team that will open against the Bulldogs is very much the same out fit that began against the Chatta- nooga team last Friday Howard Yielding will start the game at the pivot position, while Jack Stuart will be held in reserve for Yielding in case of injury. The guards will be in charge of Hall and Big un" Hodges and both of these husky for wards should be Tn topnotch form for the local classic. At tackles will be the old reliables, Ma" Green and Floss" Candy. Both of these men have been in good form all the sea son and with their previous experi- ence in the Bulldog battles should prove to be two of the games stars. floss" is great on the tackling job and Mas" speciality is breaking through the line and generally mess
 ing up plays in the backfield. The wings should be well cared for with Maynard Baker and O. D. Ellis two regular ends "rarin' to go'' and with two good men ready in reserve for emergency. Cotton" Caldwell and John Candy are the two reserve l men. The Partners stronghold this year seems to be on the wings.
 The backfield that will open their heavy guns on the Baptist are Frog" Miller, quarterback; Capt. Mike Norton, halfback; Greek" Griffin, half, and Jim Rogers, fullback and punter de luxe. These will be tho | ball "toters" that the Methodists will | rely on to do most of the ground gaining, although "Mitt" Greene, John Mabry, Frank Ward and Oates will be ready for action at a mo- | ments notice.
