GREAT PREP GRIDIRON
CARD FOR WEEKEND
Three Teams Invade City And Three Decisive
Local Games On Schedule.

, school football to be staged on Bir-
mingham fields in recent years is on
tap for this weekend. The accomo-
dations for grid games in the city will
be heavily taxed to take care of the
contests. Two invading teams will bat
tie local prep schools, while one will
come to the city after the scalp of a
local college freshman eleven. In ad-
dition two very decisive games for local
schools will be htaged.
One of the biggest of the inter-city
games will be the Phillips High game
with High of Chattanooga. which will
be played on Munger Bowl Saturday
morning. Coach Stillwell has been
giving his Crimsons plenty of action
this week, while Coach Bo Bagley has
been driving the linemen without mercy.
The Chattanooga eleven was beaten by
Ensley in Chattanooga by the score
of to 0 week or so ago and they
have van excellent ombination. This
game will give fans a good chance to
compare the strength of the two an
cient rivals.
Admission Invades
Another invader, Admission High,
will take on Coach Robin Hoods Wood
lawn Junior Colonies in a scrap Satur-
day morning at Fleetwood Field.
Woodlawn last year beat Admission by
score of Is to 16 in the last four min
utes of play by scoring two touch
downs. The Admission eleven has a
good team this year, despite the loss
Of several stars, and is planning on
giving the locals stiff battle.
Two major local games are slated
when Ensley battles Jefferson County
and Simpson meet University High.
The Ensley-Jefcohi game will be play
ed Friday afternoon at Redwood and
should be an evenly matched contest.
Ensley has a great eleven this year,
while Jefferson High has shown some
good stuff.
Simpson vs.. University
The Simpson game with University
High should present the hardest-fought
game of the Friday contests. These
two teams are closely ranged as to
strength and the breaks of the game
should decide the victor. However,
the University eleven will have Jack
Roll, its regular center, out of the game,
while Simpson has had Vincent on the
lame list this week, though he should be
in the game Friday.
Out in Bessemer the Tigers will en-
gage the Shades Cahaba Mountain
GERS in a grudge battle. The Noun
taineers, coached by Aubrey Miller,
former Birmingham-Sou star, has
been strengthened considerably this
year but Bessemer has one of the great
est teams of her history. The game
will be played Friday afternoon.
Berry VS.. Howard Rats
Coach Hugh Barfield, former Howard
college star, will bring his Berry High
school eleven to the city to engage the
freshman team of his alma mater in
a contest Friday afternoon on Berry
Field at Howard college. The fresh
men, coached by Bob Shelton, also a
former Howard star, are q strong az
gregatiOn of gridders, while Berry has
a husky bunch of players.
Jones Valley and Hueytown High
will probably be idle over the coming
weekend. Coach Snider will take his
Hueytown eleven to Bessemer to wit.
ness the Shades Cahaba- Bessemer game.
while Dow Newton, at Jones Valley, is
seeking a game. He is dickering with
Shelby County high and may close a
date for Friday afternoon at Column

men will also be idle.
