Track Material
In Abundance
At Howard
A p p r o x i m a t e ly 30 light clad
speedsters came galloping out up¬
on the green - sod early last week
in response to ,the call of a new
sport at Howard. Track! is the
word.
Athletic Director Dillon said
Monday that no schedule had yet
been arranged, but if the right kind
of material showed up, Howard
would be represented In the S. L
A. A. track meet to be held at Bir¬
mingham-Southern College this
spring.
This is the first endeavor at de¬
veloping a track team at Howard,
owing to the jack of a suitable
track to run on; But with such an
abundance of material, some of
which have pulled down honors in
high school track, it looks as if
Howard might be heard from on
the track this year.
Among some of the promising
candidates ars Harold Allen, for¬
mer star of Ensley ( High School
Wilburn Doui^as, near-ten second
man of Monroeville High and Bob
Thames, of University of Alabama.

TEST NOW UNDER WAY
With two perfect weeks of spring
practice behind them, the Howard
Bulldogs were straining at the leash .
Saturday to get at the Birmingham
Barons, but old' Jupe Pluvius put a
restraining hand on it and they en¬
joyed an enforced idle day. The de¬
layed encounter will be played some
day this week. The Bulldogs should
be able to make things Interesting
for the Barons, at least
The- main problem of Coach Dillon
who has now taken over the reins
of the squad, lies in the selection and
development of an outfield in keeping
with the calibre of the rest of the
aggregation. The catching staff,
composed or the veteran Preacher
Hyde and Chuck Spelr, a promising
recruit is well taken care of. Snake
Bains and Toby Stubbs are the ex¬
perienced hurlers in camp, while
Charlie Will Smith has been showing
4 world of stuff. The infeld is the
strongest part of the team. Polly
Scokel at first, C4pt. Gene Dawsoa
at second, and Alf Bains at short, are
seasoned performers, .while Frank
Lowry seems to be making the grade
at third.
Thus it can be seen that the Crim¬
sons are well heeled with veterans
except for the outfield. Unless some
of the green timber shows up extra¬
ordinarily well, this Is going to be the
weakest salient of the team. Right
now it seems as if Shelbonrne, Wat
ters. and Spicer will get the call first,
but they have plenty of opposition in
the persons of George Saxon and
Slick Dollar. George is one of the
sweetest fielders on the «quad, while
Slicks main accomplishment is the

Boys! here’s the best chance you'll

It goes like this: The Y. W. C. A.

pus. Only twenty-five cents to have

the following week
after the winner is announced, her
picture is to be on the front page
of the Howard Crimson with a write-

The contest is to end on the night
of March 24, when the Y. W. C. A.
is giving a carnival at Montagne Hall.
The announcement of the winner Is
to be the piece de Resistance ot the
evening’s entertainment. However,
that's only one of numerous features.
The program has been well planned

minstrel act included in the admis¬

candies, pink lemonade, kisses, for¬
tune telling, regular side shown —
the fact is. Its going to be such a good
carnival that the person who doesn’t

Besides all the fun the money is to
