With the opening game only a

colossal task of trying to replace
key men last thru graduation the

Coach Sheppard, has only one team
that he can call a breather and
that is with the Breham high Bull
dogs and they might prove a tartar.
In Coach Byrd, the new assistant
and Randall Sterling, Sheppard has
two men of quality to help carry
his woes, for he really has them
this year. With Only one letterman
in the backfield and the line a
question mark, he really has a load
for a four man staff.
This is all that Coach Sheppard
has to do: Fill the shoes of Gumbo
Harris, the sensational broken field
runner and his best scoring threat
for the past three years, cover the
shadow of Routt, another gem of
the backfield and his fullback
Taylor. this is his hardest task
to find replacement for these three
demons. Graduation also tore huge
hole in the line by taking Thomas
and the terrible Mule Shannon at
Tackle-what a loss and what a job
to replace them. 1t can be done
but Sheppard will have to show
us. But behind every dark cloud
there is q silver lining. He has re-
turning the sensatioal passer and
quarterback Harris, the only letter
man in the backfield and part of
that famous brother scoring threat
of Harris to Gumbo Harris. The
rest of the backfield will have to be
made up of untried material.

that is to be offered. Only two

Kentucky State should not be ex-

these youngsters might surprise
everyone. The line seems to be as

greatest weakness, perhaps at the
ends. The backfield is question

HAS GOOD CONTROL

Like Paige, young Dams most re-
liable pitch is a binding fast ball,
and also like Paige, he has excep-
tional control. Now in only his
second season with the Barons he
is developing RAPIDLY under the
tutelage OF his youthful manager
Winfield Scott WEIGH. Bankhead
comes of a baseball family, with
four Brothers playing on Negro
teams. Although with his speed and
control he's much like the man he
some day hopes to succeed, he's
an opposite in build. Where Paige
is long and lanky, with lengthy,
loose jointed arms, Bankhead is
shorter and inclined to be stoutish.
With Negro baseball definitely on
the upswing in popularity, Dan has
bright future. Greater crowds are
turning out for games in the Negro
American League and an even larg-
cr percentage of whites are drawn
to the contests because of the good
band of ball played. The percent
age Of whites at Negro games lin
the past was 10; now it's double
that figure and much Of the credit
for the increase in popularity goes
to Paige, who is as great a gate
attraction in Negro ball as Dizzy
Dean was in his heyday in the
majors.

EVERYBODY FEELS AXE

But as it was philosophically put
by Bill Bell, Florida head man:
"None of us coaches can cry too
much, because, judging from ap-
pearance to date, all of us are
equally hard hit"
That's about the story, too. A
coach may bemoan his bad luck
and lash the boys in the writing
fraternity for giving him his usual
headline billing. But he should be
fair to himself and admit that, af-
ter all, the other fellow is hit hard,
er, if anything, than he.
