STUDENT LIFE ATTAINS ITS HEIGHT IN ANNUAL GAME
,Civitan And Other Luncheon Clubs To Attend Game In Body

Two surging streams of collective life that have hitherto ran each in its own course and neither the course s of the other crossed will come to the :. fork today. and both, swirltng into the same channel, will ebb and flow at the meeting. The one to wend its way down the channel supreme and { superior, he other fused and sub merged will follow in it's wake. Throughout the year, the ceaseless activities of college life has held the attention of the students of two typically American institutions and : each has pursued it's own course and , it's course has never run foul of it's rival this year. Saturday afternoon lat Redwood park the two will be brought together, even before after noon the competition will begin.
 The colorful battle that is held an- nually at Redwood field between Howard and Birmingham Southern college is the feature of the great collegiate game in Birmingham There Is no time in the year that rivalry reaches the height attained just before the annual football clash. Parades and demonstrations of every nature are staged by the rival bodies and each tried to excel its foe
 Saturday mornings before the games are always marked by the two mammoth parades staged by the stu dents of the two scshools. The best of the brain power of both lnstltu- tions is thrown into the general el- fort to get up ideas better than the opponent. Saturday will be no eX- ception and at 10:45 Birmingham Southern will start a parade from CapitoI park that will wend it's way through the business part or the city, while at 12 o'clock Howard COT lege will start a procession from the same spot that will traverse the business section of the city. ysThese two parades are annual features of the big contest and many novel ideas are given birth TOT the occasion. Just what will De spruhS in the parades Saturday is questloIIii of interest.

 Betting on the game is mainly on n,>ints. Quite a bit of E and II nofnt money has been laid with How ard as the favorite, while practically every bet made gives the Bulldogs at least seven point margin o1 au- vantage. .
 Indications are that the largest crowd that has ever attended a How ard Birmingham Southern game will he in the stands. According to Mae Hamilton Horton, daughter of the Maric City weather forecaster who is a student at Birmingham Southern and who is dubbed the ottlciai weather dispenser for the college, the game will be favored by the rates this afternoon and fair weather Will reign. n,
 The luncheon clubs of the city will attend the game in a body and each will have a section of the box seats in front of the concrete bleachers' The Howard college students will sit in the concrete bleachers and the Panther students in the wooden bleachers.
 The game is slated to start at 2:15 o'clock.
