 SOUTHWESTERN, 196
Tigers Fight Hard As Drew Uses Long List Of
 Gridders To Win

A crippled but fighting band of invaded Munger bowl Friday afternoon, but were rather easily repulsed and forced to take the short end of a 19 to 6 count by a zealous and hard playing clan of Panthers, most of whom were second d-stringers. From the start, when S. P. U. was stopped cold, and the Panther offensive opened up with well directed attack toward the Tigers goal line. the issue was never in doubt.
 After two unsuccessful pilgrimages in- to the territory of the visiting warriors, both of which were halted when for ward pass attack failed, the Panthers began another thrust which placed them across the final white line. Kimbrough brought a s. F. U. punt back to the 40- yard line and then Leon Stevenson toss- ed a spiral 15 yards to Mallory. Curly Black circled left end for 12 yards and another first down. Then Captain Red Farr. of plunging fame, rammed into the right side of the Tiger forward wall and slipped on 12 yards for a touchdown. Blacks attempted drop kick was block ed for the extra point.
 Shortly after, Wilson, star ball car rier for the invaders, plunged into the Panther line and fumbled. Bullo Will Hams, who has just entered the strug- gle. grabbed the pigskin and rambled 45 yards for the second touchdown. A forward pass for the point failed by inches when it was completed.
 The second half opened with rush. Leon Stevenson received the kick off and rambled back 9 yards before he was downed. Then the same speedy lit tle Panther back, on the second play, slipped off right tackle and raced through broken field for 65 yards, the longest jaunt of the day, placing the ball on the 1-foot line as he was tackled from behind. Curley Black immediately stepped across on the next play for the touchdown, and then added the extra point with a drop kick. That ended the scoring for the Panthers, as Coach Drew immediately jerked Stevie from the contest and shortly after re- tired Black.
 Tigers Threaten
 But the s. P. U. Tiger was yet to be heard from. After several exchanges of punts, Yielding fumbled and the wis iting clan recovered. Clements tossed long 30-yard pass for the second first down of the game for the Tigers, and then Wilson kicked to the Panther 1O- yard marker. Griffins return punt was blocked, and Tiger retrieved the ball behind the goal line, but s. P. U. was penalized for roughing the kicker in performing the blocking stunt. Then Griffin kicked out of bounds on the 25- yard line Three of the visitors passes failed and Wilson attempted a drop kick which was wide.
 TTba rTiOorc' fhrnat in the beginning of the fourth quarter was successful. Two long passes, Wilson to Custer and Will son to Davis, gained A yards. Wilson skirted end for s yards, and then Myr- ick plunged over the line for the lone score of the visitors.
 The visiting Tigers played fighting, threatening game, with their long passes, few of which were completed compared to the large number at- tempted. They presented a crippled lineup, several of their stars being on the injury list. However, Drew used an eleven composed of second-string men during the major portion of the game The regulars played considerably less than half the game. The Panther coach made 36 substitutions during the game, and had gold jersies flying in at every stage. Undoubtedly, there was a reason. The Howard game IS but week away, and the red-topped mentor was taking no chances. Several regu- lars failed to get in at all.
 The Panthers made IA first downs during the afternoons play, two of which came via the forward pass route. The Tigers were able to count five first downs, and three of these were by the aerial method. The visitors were able to complete but four passes, and during the second half they were tossing the pigskin skyward at every chance. Their passers, Clements and Wilson, were very inaccurate, while their receivers could not handle the ball when it came within their reach.
 Stevie And Black Star
 Leon Stevenson and Curly Black were the big stars for BirminghamSout ern. Stevenson's 65-yard jaunt was the most spectacular of the game. Farr
