The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-11-26

let the dope and outpiayed the Pan i beginning of the second quarter on the very first play. he skirted end and carried il ever for a touchdown and the first marker of the game. Stew ems kicked goal, but another penalty this time against Howard--robbed the Bulldogs of one point, 1t being claimed that Brindley had been de- tected holding
 Howard rested it's case here and elected defensive game from then until tho third quarter. Near the close of this period Mike Norton got lose for one of his famous end runs. and stepped off so yards in light ming fashion before being downed This placed the ball down under the shadows of the Bulldog goal and Mil Ter bucked 1t over. Miller kicked goal and the score stood 7-s In favor of the Panther. The western stands went wild and the Birmingham Southern band blared forth In all it's fury.
 How the BuIidogs Won
 It was in the fourth quarter near the end of the game that Lady Luck smiled on the Bulldog, The Partners had punted and Stevens had signailed for a fair catch Regardless of this he was tackled, and another penalty inflicted, which placed the ball in kicking distance. A conference was held and an attempt at field goal arrived at How beautifully Ham executed it has already been re- counted.
 So,l 10 Ham Stevens goes the bulk of the glory. &But let it be known in raised letters that the Howard line played superbly and fought with fury that made them deserve the name "Bulldogs." Afford. at tackle. covered himself with gobs of laurel; So did Stubbs at guard. and Shelton at end. As matter of fact, the whole Howard line fought in a way that caused even Coach Cope. as ex- cited as he was. to smile from ear to ear. Garfield also drew B vanload of praise for his excellent work at tackle.
 Whites Punting Great
 In the backfield. aside from Stew ems White stood out and shone with the brilllance of the oon-day sun. Whites perfectly placed and far reaching punts were one of the fea- lures of the game. His work easily outdistanced that of Griffin for the Partners. Jesse Lackey also stood out prominently in the backfield as did Gaylord.
 It simply was not & Panther day. They did not fight with the tradi tional Panther grit. To Floss" Candy alone may be handed the lau rel for play in that first half. One might just as we'll say that the How ard Bulldogs met "Hoss'' Candy in that first halfs floss waspin avery play, and 1t looked like 1t always fell his lot to bring the man carrying the ball to an ultimate standstilf. There's not a football writer in the world who would not have given floss Candy place on his all-southern had he seen him play Saturday. The wonder of 1t all Is that the army or the navy scouts have not been down promoting Hoss for a scholar ship at either West Point or the naval academy There's a man who can play on anybody's football team and star on 1t, too
 out For Lanch
 But it's an all too well known fact that others of the supporting cast appeared to be out to lunch in the forst half. Maybe. it was the fact that they had bright new yellow Jersies and didn't want to get them soiled. or something, it's de- plorable fact that they did not fight with traditional Panther fury until the second half when Coaches Glm- men and Brown zoe 'em in the dress, ing room and spilled an earful or so. Bucking fate, and penalties, how ever. and putting a team on the field that was not up to form, all proved too much for the Panthers. Fate stepped in and gave them their har- dest jolt. when on the last minute of play they worked the ball down to Towards five-yard line. Miller had Just dropped back for try at field goal when the whistle sounded and all hands knocked off work for the day The Panthers had carried the ball down to that territory through the execution of some lightning like passes with Miller on the starting end and Norton. Richardson and Caldwell on the receveng end. Had they uncorked this repertoire of aerial dazzlers few minutes sooner they might have won the game--but then 1t must be remembered that they were sitting pretty until the last five minutes of play, when Ham Stevens planted his toe against the unpro- tected heart of every Birmingham Southern rooter present.
 Bulldogs Deserved Win So, we would not seek to distrac. from the glory of Towards that is hers. She chisied out we'll de- served victory, wrote the figure "a" under the greatest possible handi- cap and wrote that "s" in a perfectly legible hand that all who pass by may read for the next twelye-month period. Cope took q bad bunch of prospects at the start of the season and hammered 'em into a winner for the one big game of the season. You gotta give him credit for that. The growl out at the Kennels has been changed into bark of joy. and the Bulldogs dash madly though joyfully around, with the shreds of yellow sweaters and black-striped stockings dangling from their bi. cuspids. It's a great night for the Baptists. Things won't get back to normalcy out East Lake way for
