Coach Brown Sends Men
Through First Scrimmage
of Season Yesterday
BY HORACE RENEGAR

Birmingham Southern's Painters
continue to be sent through the regu-
lar routine of preliminary practice in
preparation for the opening game of
the season Friday against the Jack
sonville Staters in Munger bowl. The
date for the first tilt was moved up
day by the officials of the two
schools to avoid q conflicting en-
gagement with the Auburn-Howard
game.
Following the unusually strong
showing of the Staters against the
Bulldogs, 1t is believed that the Pan

stopping their husky opponents. The

only few minutes.

out September "a. 1922. Dempsey
was in no way responsible for
Skis prowess in taking punish
ment. but Dempsey undoubtedly
helped Sikh put over the blows
that sent Carp sprawling to the
floor.
In July of 1921 Dempsey
pounded Carpenters body to
pieces. AT that time many of
the wise ones voiced the predic-
ton that Carpenter was battered
and bruised internally by those
crushing body blows. Those blows
of Dempsey's had the same effect
upon Carp's chassis, as IL he had
laid down in the middle of the
big road and allowed a caravan
of automobile trucks to bounce
over his frail frame. Wounded
internally he has carried the
scars of that memorable battle
until now. When Sikh started
pummeling him. 1t reopened old
wounds, and Carp, never able to
regain the stamina he possessed
before meeting Dempsey, the
super man. crumpled to the floor
a battered, beaten and surprised
man.
Headed For Oblivion
Sunday night Bonheaddo Sikh
registered at the Hotel de Fame.
He had just come in from
Oblivion.
Sikh will return shortly to
Oblivion.
The Senag1ese of the species is
said to be a-like-as much
animal as man. Still, one can
take the most ferocious animal
of the jungles and pour 1t full of
grog as a steady diet, and pretty
soon said animal will lose it's vi
tality and perish away.
Reports say that Sikh trained
for his bout with Carp by hitting
the high spots of Partisan night
life. His arm exercise was
reaching over the bar for another
one. He got by with it that one
time. but If Sikh pursues this sort
of pastime for long either Wills
or Dempsey will knock him into
the fag-end of next leap year
when they meet in the ring.
