my boyhood days until the time of his death. While still a
boy I was a pupil for several months in the first school Profes¬
sor Pulliam ever taught. Some years later, when I was filled
with ambition for a college education and had no way of getr
ting to college, Professor Pulliam paved the way fdr me and
stood by me throughout my college course. Upon entering
college he helped me to map out my course, and was my ad¬
viser during the whole of my four years of college life. I had
a year of Latin under him and was impressed that he was the
best teacher of the time in Georgetown College. Such was
the impression that Professor Pulliam made on me that when
I went into teaching I awoke to find myself unconsciously
imitating his methods. Scores of young men and women who
went out from Georgetown College into the teaching profes¬
sion had the same experience.
While personal relations with Professor Pulliam were in¬
terrupted after leaving college, an occasional letter kept us
together, and since Professor Pulliam’s coming to Alabama in
1911 we have been very close together. No one has ever en¬
tered my life for such a long period of friendship as Profes-

The valiant sons of Howard fought
as no Howard team has ever fought
before against a foe from Sunshine
Slopes. It was a desperate, crying
team that went on the field tor the
Bulldogs. A team that wouldn't give
up hopes. Howard has played little

Ham Stevens Leads Bulldogs
To Great Victory at Rickwood
BY ZIPP NEWMAN.
Whom the dope favors, ihe gods
destroy. Favorites simply cannot
win in the Bulldog-Panther grid,
clash. For seven years the dope
has gone wrong on this battle and
Saturday when Ham Stevens, stand¬
ing on the 40-yard line, booted over
a free kick from placement, following
a fair catch and a 16-yard penalty, it i
won for Howard over the dopesters’i
choice, Birmingham-Southern, 9 to 7.
There has never been a more soul
stiring contest played in the 14 bat¬
tles between the Panthers and Bull¬
dogs than the one Saturday that kept
shivering spectators on their toes
throughout an afternoon of nerve
wrecking breaks, breaks that first
favored one side and then the other.
Howard was able to take advantage
of the breaks that came her way.
Birmingham-Southern couldn’t real¬
ize on her- breaks, heavy penalties

Howard was the first to scores

in the first period, following an ex¬
change of punts, a Bulldog falling
on a fumbled punt on the Panthers

ending with the ball on Birmingham-
Southern’s seven-yard line. On the

Stevens went over right tackle for
a touchdown. He kicked goal, but
holding was detected in the Howard
line and the point was ruled out.
The Panthers came back In th»
third period and took the lead, Gaft-
dy recovering a fumbled punt oft
Howard’s 36-yard line. A forward
pass from Norton to Richardson net¬
ted 12 yards. Norton swung around

The climax of the thriller cam*
in the middle of the fourth period
when Ham Stevens signaled for a
fair catch on his own 66-yard line.
He started as if to run, taking ona
step to balance himself. A Panther
back tackled him as he went by,
the Panthers drawing a 16-yard pen¬
alty. Standing on the Panther’s 40-
yard line Stevens placed the free
trial for a kick between the center
of the goal posts. The thriller closed
with the Panthers on the Bulldog^
five yard line, following three ear
ceasful forward passes that netted
46 yards. ,
