Coaches Cope and Dobbins. in structors in the course of football at Howard college have had a full class room this week on Berry Field. All this because the Bulldogs must be ready to cope with the brain and brawn of the Teachers from Jack sonvllle State Normal Saturday, when said Normalists and said Baptists tie up at Anniston, Ala, in a Same elite, which, from the indications floating around will be a toss-up.
 The same styled Teachers have been wading through the bushes like wrens this year, fighting the Southern Panthers to scoreless draw whipping the Auburn Rats and giving others fits, so to speak. It has also been remarked that these Normalers have been priming them selves, teeth and toenails, for the tilt with the Bulldogs, and will enter the fray with more than mathematics on their mind. A vic tory for them over the Howard Bull dogs would be a seal on their cer- ,.sS..5ate.
 But back to the Bulldogs, we find that the most of this week they have had stiff workouts in preparation for the oncoming encounter. Cooler weather with clearer skies have en- abled the Baptists to put in more stringent practices than is their
 
 this stringent stuff is for the worst of the Normalsts.
 Toby Stubbs' injury refuses to as- sume its normal shape and size and as consequence it will mean that the Mule will not be in the starting lineup at Anniston Saturday. Th-s star iinenan's services will be sad lY felt, since the donlish one has been putting in worlds and worlds of good work at guard this year. Plenty Of Guards.
 However, for the guard berths Coach Dobbins has any number of stalwarts to take their place. Spicer has rounded around into varsity timber, showing to local fans last Saturday that he is credit to the Bulldog line. Snake BainS, eX-Jack- sonvillian, will more than likely sec lot of service against his old mates at guard, while Fat Brooks is no little boy to be overlooked when you are thinking of guards.
 With the exception of Stubbs, the same line that has been starting the frays will more than likely do the same Saturday Captain Norris and Frank Norris leave little to be de- sired for flankmen with Goose Will hams as an able assistant. LaFay- cite Kelly may be in good shape for the game for tackle duties and old jil gh BarfIeld will get the call It -isle other tackle, which leaves Leo Hendy and Frank Lasseter other men Ecady for tackle service. Both Bo Brindley, threeyear vet, and Ciaud Brewster, very promising freshman, will be in fine fettle for singing them back from the snap per's Job.
 The starting backfield at this time of the week is in the problema :. ical stage. Ham Stevens, who did not show to his best Saturday eX- cept m bunting, will get the call at quarter, and 1t will be a safe bet Shat Slick Loolar, who has gone good since his graduation from the fresh- men team, will be another starting Lall toter. Polly Scokel, who has been q starter lately, may also get the can. while Max Weber has start ed in the last two games. Marvin Mccarthy and link Tinklepaugh, oth lettermen. are the backs in tuinmed-up shape, but it is probable Chat both will get a fling in the game while Dan Gaylord also IS complaining of injuries, and is an- o.her letterman. Mickey Whites end runs have beee,a feature of this weeks practice and he will also likely try his luck against the op- ponents Saturday.
 Anniston fans are indeed fortunate for having this little confab on their sport program for it seems that the game will be a feature contest as each team srates pretty well. All Toward Jacksonville affairs are thrillers and Saturdays argument is expected to be no exception. The Bulldogs will leave on an early train Saturday morning arriving on the scene of battle in plenty of time for the fray.
