READY FOR FRAY

Members of the Ensley High school football game are getting in shape for the game Saturday. March 8. be- tween the Central High school squad and the Ensley Yellow Jackets. Coach Bryan has been putting his players through the paces for the last few days, and is determined that the Cen tral players will be beaten this year. The Ensley team has been resting since the game last Saturday, when it was defeated by Baylor. and will doubtless be in excellent shape for the battle with their old time foes of Cetral, when the whistle blows Sat urday, November 8. This game is to be followed by one with Woodlawn. then the game with the Tech High school of Atlanta. and the Thanksgiv- ing game between Ensley and Little Rock in the latter city when the sea- son will be closed.
 The Ensley boys are eager to take the game from Central next Saturday, and battle royal may be expected. It was stated that the game will at tract large following of local boos- ters, especially among business men, who are eager to see the Ensley players conclude a successful season.

ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD !


 Announcement in The Age Herald Friday morning regarding the How ard College High school to be estab- lished in Ensley created wide and fla vorable interest among all classes of business men. The opinion seemed to be generally held that the people of this section of Birmingham would be quick to see the almost incalcuia- ble value of the proposed school and would lend every possible aid toward the consumation of the plans as out lined. M H. Mcdowell, who represents Ramsay &s Mccormack here, said that in his opinion the establishment of such 3 high school would be the big gest asset that Ensley would be able to obtain this year. He added that the advertising value of the school to this part of Birmingham would be worth a vast amount to this com munlty. The fact is well established, he said, that Ensey, from material way, has been unusually developed and the establishment of such a school brings about greater cultural appreciation of this section which is denied by outside interest at this time in some instances.
 This opinion was shared by Jack Lindsay, L. R. Vines, Robert Chad wick. W. H. Mansfield, pastor of the Methodist church; Tom Pippin, Dray- ton Trucks, J. Hoke Perkins and many other business men interested in those things which go to assist in the progress of a community.
 It was learned Saturday that the matter would be taken up at the next meeting of the Kiwanis club and the Ensley Associated Merchants, with the end in view of obtaining approval of the plans officially. and that the authorities of the Baptist church that are to act on the proposal will dis cuss the matter at a meeting to be held in the next few days. It is also | likely that the ministers of-this sec tion of Birmingham will find occasion to recommend the. Howard High school to their congregations at the morning services Sunday.
