PANTHERTAKESON FORM AS SIGNAL
 DRILL IS STAGED
Light BaCkfieId, But Heavy Strong Line Seems To
 Be Prospect

Wednesday afternoons activities on the improvised football field at Green street and Tidewater car line, Owenton, gave packers of the Golden Panther better line on who's who and where among Birmingham Southern's football cand' dates. Coach Charlie Brown had two teams run ming signals Wednesday after a week and half of preliminary train- ing.
 On the first team Coach Brown was using Captain Big Hoss" Candy and Dad" Howell at end; Turner Scott and Calhoun, at tackles; Ham" Weeks, Douglas Pritchett and ette Levie and Rip" Rawls, at cen ter.
 In the backfeld Coach Aubrey Miller who was running the back field men in the absence of Coach Douglas Wingo, sent In Rod" Rich ardson, at quarter; "Curley" Black, Sid" Godbee, and June Anderson, at halves, and Red" Farr, at fullback.
 Coach Wingo was absent due to injrrles received Monday night in all auto accident. He will probably be back on the field Thursday.
 The men were shifted from time to time during the afternoon work out. Price Howell has been showing up good for an end berth and Little Hoss" Candy shows promise of mak- ing varsity wingman.
 The line shows better prospects than last year but the main wc-ry of the coaches Is the backfield. All though there is plenty of material on the field the men on the average are very light. Coach Brown has shifted all available men to the backfield from the abundant supply of line material. It looks at best that the Partners this year will go onto the field with a lightweight offensive machine but which will be playing by line.
 With Captain Candy at one end, and either Price Howell, Dad" How ell or Little Hoss" Candy at the other the Hanks will be well taken care of Captain Candy was the Panther star last year at end, while both Howell have been showing up well and Little Hoss" Candy has been doing good work.
 Ham" Weeks, last years varsity tackle, has been shifted to guard and will probably play defensive tackle. Pritchett, d nard-hitting, ag- gressive youngster, though light, is being run at the other guard. For tackle, Calhoun, new man, weigh ing in at about 200 has been show ing up well, In bucking practice. Turner Scott also has been smashing through in practice work and Ash wander has been doing good work. At center, both Levie and Rawls are experienced men. It is about six one way and half dozen the other be- tween them, for both have good passes and are hard fighters.
 Red" Richardson, the only veter- an in the backfield, has been doing the majority of signal calling. June Anderson, sub quarter last year, has been working at half and calling signals also. Curly" Black, a stai at Simpson last year, has. been run; tning on the first eleven since h, came out Monday Red Fari fullback. Red" has the weight and is a fairly speedy man for his size. Sid Godbee is a f1eet-footed young ster who should do good work at half.
 The Partners will also have to dig up a punter this year. Six or seven men were booting the ball Wednes- Dad" Howell seemed to be able to get off we'll directed spiral punt more consistently than the other men. Fullbright and Leon Stephenson showed flashes of good bunting Little floss" Candy also got off some good ones.
 The Panthers will probably stage their first scrimmage Thursday or Friday. The srffocating layer of dust over the field has held up Coach Browns signal for scrimmage but as.the rain gods seem not inclined to favor the gold and black warriors with a shower the scrimmage will be staged regardless.
