TWO FIELD GOALS BY EACH TEAM COMPOSE OFFENSIVE
Neither Team Is Able To Cross Line In Mighty Battle At Redwood Field Satur- day Afternoon


 noon the Howard college Bulldog and the Birmingham-Sou Panther fought to a 6-6 draw. Neither team was able to cross the others goal and a kicked game was resorted to. Although doped 10 lose by at least points and with a probable score of 1S points predicted in favor of the Crimson. the Gold and Black war riors tie was considered as big up- ret in dope as it has been dispensed turing the past week.
 It was a fighting Panther that ook the field and displayed such a battle as has never been seen by Bir- mingham Southern students from their grid warriors this year. De- spite the fact that Aubrey Miller. star ground gainer. quarterback and punter. was out, the Panthers more than held their own and in the first half outplayed the Bulldogs in every department with the exception of bunting, where the lack of a good kicker for Birmingham Southern was sadly felt as the long punts of Ham" Stevens scared down the field.
 In the first half the Panthers tore the famed Howard line to pieces. Making practically every foot of their gains through the line, they made five first downs to none for Howard during the first two periods and Bulb" Williams, made-over quarterback, sent first one man and then the other through the line for substantial gains.
 Williams No 'Tron Head.s
 Iron Head" Williams has lost his cognomen and no longer can he be known as the prize non-thinker of Sunshine Slopes. His great work at directing the energies of the Panther Saturday, despite the fact that 1t was his initial attempt, was the work of nimble football brain, and although at times he was messed up in his signals he ran the team as a whole like veteran.
 The Bulldogs made a strong show ing in the final quarter and clearly outplayed the Panthers. In thls quarter Ham" Stevens, the brainy Howard quarter, spotted the Panther weakness and with Captain "Hoss" Candy and his brother. John, both off their positions at end, ran his backfield men around the Hanks for the longest. Run after run was clipped off by fleet Bulldog backs and although the game ended with the ball near mid-held in possession of the Howard eleven. things looked none too good for the Hilltop eleven threats continued in the dashes around end. Four first downs were made by the Crimson backs against two for the Panthers in the final quarter.
 Ham" Stevens sent the two Bull dog field goals between the bars on drop-kicks and counted the six Bull nj in the first quarter and was scored from the 19-yard line. It was beautiful field goal. The second kick came in the third quarter and was from the 17-yard line.
 Thompson A Hero
 John Rogers Thompson was the hero of the day for the Panthers Going in on the last play before the first half ended with the county 10 first half ended with the count to the 13-yard line and sent the ball through the goal, tying the score. The half ended as the play was com pleted. The other Panther goal was scored by Captain floss" Candy early in the third quarter when he place-kiched from the 21-yaro me It was the prettiest goal of the con test and scared high over the cross bar.
 It was a hard-fought game and the tide ebbed and flowed throughout the game In the scond quarter the Partners smashed and crashed on through the Bulldog line, but in the last quarter the Bulldogs swept on around the Panther ends. But in all it was a cleanly played game and was marked by good sportsmanship.
 Despite the fact that the team from Sunshine Slopes has been los ing consistently this year and had scored but seven points up to the Howard game the fact that they knew how to charge was demon strated Saturday. It was one of the prettiest exhibitions of line play ever seen on Redwood field and the Gold and Black linemen were charging like demons Practically all of the Panther gains throughout the game were made through the line and off tackle and the work of the forwards made this possible.
 O O O
 Weeks Big Star.
 The work of Ham" Weeks in the Panther line was particularly out standing. Time after time this guard crashed through the Bulldog for wards and threw the runner for loss. Turner Scott. too, was often be- hind the line and downed the oppos- ing back before he reached the line of scrimmage.
 Spicer played a great game for the Bulldogs in the line and both Captain Shelton and Frank Norris on ends played good football. Toby Stubbs was also mixed up in the hottest - ----u---------------.-----a
