Big Crowd Will See Panther-Bulldog Classic.
 Collegians To Parade Saturday Morning

classic Wednesday night. The large number of pasteboards already sold, combined with the great support being given by the luncheon clubs, made things look like a packed Redwood Saturday.
 The luncheon clubs will go in bodies to the struggle, and have been awarded the reserved boxes on the north side of the playing field. Practically all of the tickets reserved flor flthis purpose have been sold, the managers announced.
 High school students have been granted special reduction for the $2 awarded them, and they may all get en- trance into the game for 75 cents. These have been distributed to the various high schools of the district. Adults will not be passed in with these paste- boards.
 The members of the high school teams have been given tickets for the battle, and the prep gridders will attend the game as guests of the Howard and Bir- mingham-Southern athletic committees. It has been especially stated by those in charge at Redwood that no one will be passed through the gates without tickets, that all passes, etc., have been given in the form of complimentary tickets which alone will admit those de- serving them

Three more luncheon clubs have ac- cepted the invitation of the athletic com mittees of Howard and Birmingham Southern to attend the Flight of the Year" at Redwood Saturday afternoon, and indications now point to the larg- est crowd of football fans to trek their way to the local grid arena for the Panther Bulldog classic in the history of the great battles for the city's colle-- giate supremacy. The Real Estate board, the Lions and Rotary clubs have officially signified their intention of be- ing present en masse Saturday, which brings the luncheon clubs already sure to attend to six, the Exchange, Xii wanis and Advertising clubs already being on the list.
 Mammoth preparations are being made by the student bodies of the rival institutions as the day of the big bat tie draws near. The collegians of the Magic City are becoming more en- unused over the hectic combat, and the frenzied efforts of cheer leaders on op- posing campuses are bringing results as interest in the rival camps is reach ing fever heat.

 The stored-up energy of an entire sea son will break forth next Saturday, and the first signs of the impending tenn pest will be in the nature of two man. moth pafades to be staged by the How ard and Birmingham-Southern students through the streets of Birmingham dur ing the morning. Commissioner Cloe, per usual, has given permission for the annual frolics in the downtown dis trict, and unique stunts combined with floating banners and blaring trumpets will awaken business Birmingham to the fact that heated struggle, will soon be in progress as the collegiate paraders march through the main thoroughfares.

surprising things and they are rarely ever consistent.
 They are young and impressionable They are easily swayed. In one game they may perform brilliantly and in the next atrociously.
 No coach can ever depend upon the average player. He is never sure Of him. He never knows when the boy may make mess of things or when he may flash like superman.
 Players may be ordinarily through two. three or four games and then sud denly deliver an exhibition high and above par. Others may be stars Tn a few consecutive games and then sud denly collapse.
 There have been comparatively few men in the history of football that were consistently good, game in and game out. Few of the stars of the game have failed to experience bad days when they were practically helpless.
 The majority of football players flash for game or two, and then fade out.
 Many reasons can be given for this cratic performing. The state of mind of the player when he enters the game, the breaks of play, the condition of the field, the opposing defense and number less other causes may be cited that make for spectacular or bad play. A little thing, unnoticed by others, may be the cause of lifting a boy to star dom or to campus disgrace. Over these matters no coach has control or power.
 
 The tragedy of college football is that the player does not have more than four important games a year, or five at the most. One bad game spells his season and one bad play may ruin his ca reer.
 A baseball player may boot the ball all over the field in one game and fail five times in a pinch at bat but it is all forgotten in a day or two. He plays seven games week and he has six chances to square himself for the mistakes of one game. He plays 154 games a season, all of them champion ship games the college player plays four or five.
 The major league player is older. He has had years of experience. He has acquired the poise which the foot. ball player cannot develop in his brief span of competition.
 All too often unfair advantage is taken of the college player. There are many facts to be considered in his | favor.

CUPPORT given one football player S by his 10 teammates depends large
 ly on the confidence the 10 team mates have in that one player. A back of unusual ability will get twice the support that a back of mediocre abil- ity gets: ,,.
 An illustration can be found at Hi nois. One of the backs is Grange. Any time Oranges signal is called Hi nois presses to the last ounce. It offers brilliant interference and the blocking is remarkable. The same effort in behalf of another back is half-hearted in comparison.
 It is so with every team. Cornell would reach height of achievement in attack when Pfann carried the ball that was never touched otherwise. Harvard used to do the same for Ma han. Ohio State did it for Harley. Min nesota showed brilliant flashes when ever Martineauxs signal was yelled. Go through the football list of hero backs and you will discover, if you investigate. that they had brilliant execution by 10 men in their behalf.
 Expert on football matters frequent ly observe that no back can succeed without a line in front of him and aid from his fellows in the backfield. That is true enough but there are backs and backs. The great ones receive bril- liant cooperation, but for this they must receive due credit. It was their ability that inspired 10 men to give the last ounce in their behalf.
 
 Willie Hetton may not have been the greatest back of all time, but He's tons scoring record is undoubtedly the best of all time. He played four years at Michigan and participated in less than 40 games. He scored 100 touch downs and his average was better than two and one-half per game, or 25 per season. It will be some time before another back scores an average of 70 touchdowns per season through a com plete career of major college competi, tion.
 College football players are unlike players of any other game. They dc

This years meeting of the Bulldog and the Panther furnishes conflict which none of the dopesters can really figure on and offer prospective win ner without bringing in the element or conjecture. There is no foundations up- on which to base the comparative strength of the Birmingham southern and Howard teams where either Will have an advantage over the other' Hence the meeting Saturday afternoon at Redwood Field will bring together two eleyents which always play on even terms in the game this year play ing on an even basis insofar as dope is concerned Incidentally. this years struggle should be one of the best of the annual series with the game going to the team which gets the breaks.
 On comparative scores, which mean absolutely nothing but which are the basis of most of the know-alls pre-game pickings, the teams stack up about even for the season. True, both have been unexpectedly spilled by teams which the other defeated but this in the long run means little. Probably the biggest upset in the season for either came about when the Partners pulled their starting E flop in Chattanooga in a game which they lost 20 to z. Howard had previous ly beaten Chattanooga 20 to 0.
 Other Comparisons
 In last Fridays game Howard fell 14 points shy of matching Millsaps score in Jackson and Birmingham Southern beat Millsap here 6 to 0. In other games which comparison of the strength of the teams may be drawn, if scores are to count, the Partners held z to o here and Auburn beat Howard 19 to o at Auburn. Then Howard beat Jacksonville State Normal here 27 to 0 and Birmingham Southern beat them 9 to in Anniston.
 As far as strength of the two teams goes, each will depend pretty heavily on one star. Howard has Captain Ham Stevens, the all-round star, who is the best broken field runner of the lot, does the kicking and passing and is an accurate drop-kicker. Birmingham Southern has Curly Black, the side stepping Panther back, who has been the big scoring player of the season for the Gold and Black. He also does the bunting and most of the passing. How ever, the Bulldogs will not depend solely on one man. In Polly Socket the Grim son has a fleet runner, and Mccarthy and Casey they have two driving backs adept at hitting the line.
 New Meteors
 Outside of Black new meteor has recently scared across the horizon of Birmingham-Southern football in the person of Captain Red Farr, the full back. Farr has been plunging the line for long gains in the last two games and seems really to have found him. self. Stevenson is another find on the Panther eleven and he has been doing some hashy running in the games in account which he has played. "Bullo" Williams will also be back and 1t was this player who took such heavy toll fin last years Howard game. At quar- ter the veteran Greek Griffin will di- root teams attack. Farr however has not been out in uniform this week due to injuries. He will play Saturday, how ever.
 Both teams have gone into seclusion in their practice sessions this week and have barred visitors. The Howard

HARVARD STUDIES
 VERY CONFIDENT
Coaches, However, Are Spreading Gloom In
 Crimson Camp

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 19.-De- spite the gloomy reports from Soldiers field, every one packed with walls of injury, the Harvard undergraduate Is having his customary pre-Yalergame burst of enthusiasm.
 The enthusiasm movement reached the inspiring stage at the annual Yale game mass meeting Wednesday night when large part of the student body yelled it's way into the Harvard union and rolled wave after wave of confidence in the general direction of the team and coaching staff.
 Seated on the platform were the play CTS who will start Saturdays struggle, some others too. But in spite of reports that the Crimson eleven is terribly crippled, ambulances, stretchers and crutches weren't necessary to bring the regulars to their positions on the stage.
 Heach Coach Bob Fisher and Captain Greenough were among the speakers. When they had finished there was cheer ing, more speeches, then more cheering.
 Thursday the students will carry on by marching to the field to cheer the team in its last home practice.
 While the undergraduates are doing their stuff noisily, the coachers are ap- parently steeped in gloom in their final drive to build team to top Yale.
 Their system of last minute prepara- tion is considered unusual.
 There is no hope building, or morale bolstering. Instead the men behind the Crimson squad are making strenuous efforts to spread the feeling of gloomiest pessimism.
 Reports from Soldiers field would lead enc to think half of the squad are seri' ously injured and will be unable to play against Eli.
 Reports are reports, and it is reliably said that every regular with possibly one exception, will play in the game Saturday.
