Aubrey Miller SuStainS h. jury In SCrimmage, Which May Keep Him Out Of Game

Working until only the rising moon gave light for their attacks and opposed by an all-star team ot old grads out to give the team the best scrimmage possible before Sat ] urday. the Birmingham Southern | Panther continued to sharpen his
 claws at Redwood Tuesday after noon in preparation for the meeting with the Bulldog, heriditary foe or 1 the Panther, at the same place, at 1 the close of the week.
 Tuesday was day of work for the
 Gold and Black with the prospect of | some easier days towards the end or the week; the weeks rest, so rarely l gained near the end of the season,
 preventing all possibility of the squad becoming stale before the game Sat
 urday. Coaches Brown and Wingo i worked their men from the earliest l moment set for practice until after l sundown, full moon giving light for 8 number of the later plays of | the afternoons work.
 The Panther squad had to meet
 some tough opposition in the scrim mage Tuesday Ss a number of the l former stars of the team were out Tn l uniform in order to give the team thorough workout before the game with Haword; Cotton" Caldwell, star end of last year; Mike Norton, veteran quarter of many season;
 Eddie Lewis, one of the greatest punters of the south and star quar- ter of Carnegie Tech following hls
 service with the Panther; Coop Green. star tackle of years past, and Howard Yielding, ex-center of the l Panther eleven, being on the field In opposition to the varsity squad with
 the intention of putting the neces- sary pep in the squad before 1t lines
 up against the Crimson next Satur- day.
 Coaches Working Hard.
 Both Panther coaches were hard | at work driving their charges to l their utmost before the game and l the team showed 8 willingness and
 ability wwhich speak well for the 1 prospects in the coming encounter | One of the new backfield men, who
 Is attracting attention at the last of the season, is "Curley" Black, of l simpson fame, wno made an excel lent showing in the game against Chattanooga and who is working
 regularly with the varsity eleven with the prospect of beginning the fullback position; Red Farr prob ably being shifted to end for the play. Black is one of the hardest hitters on the squad and has been coming strong during the past lew weeks If he can show the same 1 holes that he showed against Chat tanooga he should take an important part in the game. Red may again take as his working partner BE Hoss' Candy, captain of the Gold and Black forces, being used at end Tn
 the scrimmage Tuesday. Farr oc- cupied the tackle position with Candy in times past but was shifted to the 1 bAellfield at the opening of the year 1 With the full position filled by
 Black, Red" can be spared for the i line job, where he is showing up well. Miller Is Injured.
 Aubrey Miller, who would have 1 been getting his last chance at the 1 Bulldog, may be out of the game on ! account of a strained shoulder sus- tained in practice Tuesday afternoon. It was reported Miller went to the hospital Tuesday evening, where an N-ray examination disclosed a
 strained shoulder, which may keep
 him on the bench throughout the game Saturday. In case of his ab-
 sence the quarterback position will
 probably be filled by Pig" Yielding,
 who has been doing well during the
 wear. Red" Richardson may occupy
 the remaining halfback berth with
 Thompson as a possible substitute,
 Anderson, Marlborough and Kelly also
 being held in reserve for backfield
 work.
 With the exception Of Miller, the
 squad is in the best condition of the
 season, and the hard work is rapidly
 bringing them around for the fight
 with the East Lake Bulldogs. A
 heavy line will face the Crimson and
 Blue Saturday with Hoyt Levie at the
 center: Ham" Weeks and Charlie
 Ashwander at guards; Dad Howell
 and Dave Evans, tackles; floss Candy and Red" Farr ends. With the plunges of Marvin McCarty, How ard half, in mind, Coach Brown has been drilling his line hard for the past few days. It may be possible that Evans will be shifted to the guard position, allowing Turner Scott
 to start the game at tackle. In that
 case the weight of the Southern line
 will be increased by number of
 pounds, Scott being heavy and pos
 sessing 8 fighting ability which has
 given him as many quarters of serv- ice as any man in the line. Douglas Pritchett, regular guard. will also be ready for service, as will Calhoun,
 regular occupant of the tackle posi- tion.
 Reserves Ready.
 At end John Grady, Joe Whiteside and Price Howell will be the regu- lars ready for service and in the case
