BULLDOGS LEAVE EARLY SATURDAY
Will Have Hard Battle With Jacksonville At
 AnniSton

The Howard Bulldogs will leave early Saturday morning for the game In Anniston Saturday afternoon with the Jacksonville State Normal team. The Bulldogs have been putting in a hard weeks work in preparation for the battle which they expect to be a tough one. The Jacksonville eleven has been making a good record this year and has a collective aviordupois yet to be sent out to represent the teachers and in addition have a fast bacl1field.
 Notable. among its achievements this year Is & tie-score with the Bir- mingham- Southern Panthers and a victory over the Auburn Freshmen team. The team has been cleaning up all teams in it's class this year and this season for the game. In Gibson, quarter, and Ditto, fullback, Jackson vile has two great backfield men who are expected to give the Bull dogs plenty of trouble. These two men are offensive stars in almost every game and Ditto, husky plunger is one of the hardest men to stop seen at Redwood this season.
 The entire week was put in by the Bulldogs on Berry field in stiff work outs with several scrimmages Fa- vored by clear skies and cooler weather the Bulldog clan have been unchecked in their activities and will be in the best of shape possible when the first whistle blows Saturday aft ernoon.
 stubbs Is Out.
 However, Toby Stubhs, stellar guard, viii be forced to stay out of the battle Saturday. Injudies which refuse to heal have been troubling Stubbs and he was not even cut for practice Thursday afternoon. Toby has been playing & good game for the Bulldogs in the line and his ab- sence will tend to weaken the Bull dogs line play.
 Stubbs will be the only man that will be out of the line in Saturdays game. Spicer, Brooks and Bains are all in condition to fill place at the guard positions and which two of trio will get into the game is still, uncertain. The two most likely starters at tackles will be LaFaytete Kelly and Hugh Garfield. Leo Dendy and Frank Lasseter will be ready for the call if either of these two lines men cannot enter the fray or has to be taken out.
 At the flank positions will be Cap tain Bob Shelton and Frank Norris. These two ends have been both play ing great game of football this season and will be depended upon Saturday to stop the runs of the fleet Jacksonville backs. Goose" Will Hams has been showing good stuff at end this year and will probably get into the game also. Both cen ters, each of which has been playing good bail this season, will be in good shaep to make the start but 1t Is like ly that the veteran, "Bo" Brindley will get the call over Claude Brew ster. the promising freshman pivot man.
 The backfield starters is a matter of doubt. At quarter Ham Stevens will be sent in and Slick" Lollar will get the call for one half, but the other positions are rather uncertain. Polly" Scokel and Max Webber have been getting into the starting line up often of late while Marvin Me- Carthy, who played a great game against Millsaps, and Tinklepaugh are in bad shape. Dan Gaylord is also in bad shape and Mickey White has been showing up well In parctice so 1t Is a toss up for a halfback and a fullback for Saturdays game.
 Anniston is planning on giving the Bulldogs a royal welcome and plans have been completed for a large crowd at the game Saturday.
