Ensley Prepares For Woodlawn A Wood Saturday

The Ensley High and Woodlawn High coaches are tightening up their grid machines for the games at Rick wood Saturday morning at 10 o'clock 1 Out on the T. c. l. field the Ensley Jackets have been giving all their time for the last ten days to the preparation of their machine for the game with the Junior Colonels. Coach Jim Bryan has gone over detail of both the defensive and the offensive play of his team with his boys and has given his players very careful in- struction as to the various tactics that it may be necessary to use in stepping the Woodlawners and in making their own offensive plays count for tho proper amount of yard age.
 The Yellow Jackets have had three
 hard workouts this week each of which included a long scrimmage period. Tomorrow's workout will most 1 likely be of long duration but not |quite so strenuous IS the first three of this week, while Fridays will be short and light.
 The team as a whole should be in good shape by Saturday, although some of the players are nursing minor 1 injuries of various kinds. Mayhew
 has a right arm that is giving him trouble due to a bruise on the bicep. The team as whole has not worked together since the game with Phillips Zefgler has been given two days Of rest as a mannes of getting him in proper shape for the game and is
 going prettily now taking in passes nicely. Fayet has also had a. day of
 rest which has put him up to his old form.
 The punters have been given their bunting practice every other day and Lowery, Mcdowell and Marston are all getting them away in good form and for all distances. .Lowery's bunting will be new feature of interest in this game as he has not been perform ing in this phase of the game hereto fore.
 Another feature which will be of in- terest to the followers of both the Jackets and tho Junior Colonels will Braswell This big boy has not been in any of the Jackets games so far, but will probably get his chance on Saturday. His is proving to be a de- pendable fellow and would have been in the game earlier in the season had it not been for an injured foot.
 It is still matter of doubt as to whether Faircloth or Hardy will start the game at center for the Jackets. The Junior Colonels are not In the condition for this game that they had hoped to be as they have three Of their best men a little out of condi- tion. Mitchell Burns will probably be out of the game due to Illness. In a scrimmage yesterday, Sentell. the big end that has been working havoc with the offense of the teams that he has gone up against this sea- son, pulled a muscle m his left shoul- der and it is doubtful as to whether or not he will be fit for the game Sat- urday.
 This afternoon Allan Moore, work ing at Burns old plAce at full. re- ceived an injury that may result in his absence from the lineup for Sat urday's game. Moore has been doing well at this position and 1t will be 8 difficult matter for the Woodlawn coaches to get another man ready to fill the fullbaclx place in an acceptable manner by the weekend.
 The Ensley High has not cancelled the game with Tech High of Atlanta as has been reported and that gam e will be played as it was originally scheduled on Saturday, November 24 at 10 a. m. at Redwood.
