PANTHERETTES TO V
 PLAY NORMALITES

The Birmingh ham Southern Panther cites leave early Saturday morning for Anniston, where they play the strong Jacksonville State Normal girls team Saturday night. The Jacksonville five is fast combination and last week showed its prowess by cleanly outplay- ing the Howard college Co-eds and win ming by big margin. The team has been making a good record this season ana the local girls are expecting to have hard time in their attack to stem the attack of the Normalites.
 The Pantherettes have been idle, in- solar as match games are concerned, since the Auburn game, but have been putting in time at regular practice. The team will be in good shape for the game, but will play under a handicap. due to the fact that the game viii be played under girls rules, an alien set of regulations for the rugged Pan- therettes.
 The probable lineup for the game Is rather uncertain. but the forwards will probably be Captain Mary BrinskeIle and Corda Stansbury, centers; Julia Manar and Lucille Cannon, and guards, Elizabeth Green and Lucille Williams.
