 record for the annual battle is exr 2 fans pour through the turnstiles to , Out at Munger bowl, Coaches Charlie Brown and Jenks Gi1lem have been working overtime in sharpening the Panther's claws and grooming him for this one and all-important
 struggle, while Bulldog Coaches
 Harris Cope and Bob (Dobbins have ] been desperately attempting to shake ] the jinks and to change the Panther tide for the first time in three years.
 Enthusiasm Grows
 The student bodies of both insti [ tutions are already busy bringing enthusiasm to a fever heat. and be-
 fore the wee kis closed night shirt S parades. pepper meetings and various other football procedures will be un-
 derway for the game.
 While out on Sunshine Slopes
 things have been gloomy for the past
 few days because of injuries to stars on the squad, 1t is believed that the mountaineer will came forth with { the best array of material possible.
 Howard is expected to be in con- dition for the game and should be
 able to put forth it's best fight, and whether that will be enough to stop ; the gold and black wurrlors Is al- ready matter of speculation. One Must Weep
 At any rate. it will be flowing < blood next Saturday night in the 2 ole town. and joy will reign supreme
 for one clan or another, and the crepe 2 of sorrow and unhapiness will be the spirit of the loser. With the Pan-
 ther- Bulldog fighting spirit known
 so well. the matter is always of the { greatest doubt until the final minute 5 and all's over.
 ss~e1n comparing squads. the Bulldogs E slack we'll on the line, with prac- Z tically all of their first line defense . of the experienced type, including Captain Brindley. Boiler Afford. Fats
 Thomas. Hobby Stubbs and Bob
 Shelton, while the baekfield of the
 Bulldogs was lacking in experience
 when the campaign got underway
 nearly three months ago.
 z Jess Lackey and Dan Gaylord are veterans in the backfield, although Y Stephens had served elsewhere be- { fore going to Howard. Mccarthy, < White, Tinklepaugh and others are A men who have been brought entirely up in the Cope system.
 Veterans With Panthers ! On the line for the Partners are
 also several Net6TdHsr lHcluuliiE I1OSS Candy, Caldwell. Hodges, Hall and Ellis, which ads stability to their 2 forward defense. Several other men have come through well this
 season and filled in any gaps pre-
 senting themselves.
 The Panther backfleld this year is practically the same as that of
 last year, with the exception of { LanlSy Jim Rogers, who dropped out } of school early in the season. Cap 4 tain Miller, Griffin, Richardson and
 Norton fill out the list of backfield
 veterans, while Williams, Rollo and Anderson are the men who have been
 coming through with the stuff, all
 though seeing their first year on the squad.
 Last Week of Practice
 The last week of practice will doubtless see both squads going through all the known ropes in an | effort to polish off and be in the best
 possible shape for the game which I will begin at 2:3o o'clock.
 The usual gay parades on the morning of the annual battle will take place, heralded by the blaring 2 notes of brass bands and the wild and tumultuous shouts of frenzied s students in calling for the ruination 2 of the bitter rival that opposes ] them.
 The feeling seems to have been ! floating around in both the Owenton e mountains and the kennel at East ' Lake for the past few days that one : or the other had a surprise well packed away to spring, and whether
 anything like this really comes forth 2 and blazes the way to victory for one < of the other two teams and upsets 2 the time-worn dope remains to be : seen.
 { Anyway, in getting back to : straight football. enough is said when ( the tenacious Bulldog goes forth in 2 search of the feline animal from the western side of the city, and, by the ' time the two teams get in action : Saturday at Redwood before the 3 largest crowd in the history of the annual classic, 1t will probably find < dope running even.
 It looks at present that, while the ' Magic City is not in for such a calibre E game as that of yesterday. the bat tie will at least prove of more To- cal interest and, as always the case, i none of the othre games are marked by the same fighting spirit as that 2 of Howard Birmingham games.
