Progress made by Ensley Howard
High School during the past two years
of Its existence has been indeed phe-
nominal, according to Information giv¬
en out Tuesday by Dr. J. C. Dawson,
President of Howard College. The
school was established in the fall of
1924, and has grown both in curricula
and enrollment by leaps and bounds.
The administration looks for a large
Increase in enrollment for next year.
Possibly the biggest single step In
the progress of the young institution
Is the new site it has acquired and the
plans It has for Immediate construc¬
tion of a new building, thoroughly
modern in every respect, to be ready
for the opening of the fall session of
1926.
The present site was bought for a
consideration of 728,300, and sold re¬
cently for $88,000 cash, the old debt
paid and the remainder used as a neu-
cleue for the purchase of the new site.
The new location Is on Pike Avenue,
near Ensley city park, and comprises
ten lots, fifty by two hundred and
fifty feet, giving sufficient room for all
athletics, as well as affording a large
and beautiful campus. It Is more Cen¬
trally located than the present site.
A modern building Is being planned
by Van Curen and Denham, Birming¬
ham architects, and bids are being se¬
cured for the erection of a one-story
brick building, thoroughly modern in
every respect, and equipped throughout
with the latest accomodations. The
building will house approximately two
hundred students, and wfll be com¬
posed of classrooms and auditorium, a
library, cloak room and laboratories.
The Idea, according to President J:
C. Dawson, of Howard College,
1в
to
run a small school, limited In number
with a purpose of carrying on school
work in a thoroughly modern fashion,
giving personal attention, and using
the latest teaching methods.
At present the school is accredited
with the State Association and fe
working ardently toward the favor of
the Southern Association.
Announcement of additions to next
year’s faculty has not been made as
yet. The present faculty Is composed
of E. E. Cox, Principal; George Neely,
first assistant; Miss Annie Boyett,
Miss Alleen Gullahorn and Mr. Roy
Shelton.

the college and promise of future

The Panther was unable to with¬
stand the. onslaught of the Howard
Bulldog Saturday afternoon, and for
the second time this season the Bir¬
mingham-Southern ball club tasted de¬
feat at the hands of their ancient ri¬
vals. The count was 9 to 6.
Ivey and Manar made the fray inter¬
esting with a four-sack drive each.
Ivey's circuit clout came in the second
inning and Manor’s homer occurred
n the third. Both hits rolled to the
other side of the cinder track around
the bowl.
Tied In Fifth
The game was tied up In the fifth
at four all when Brown answered to
the Southern coacher's plea for the
ball and threw to third base and al¬
lowed Manar to score, Lowry being
absent because he was trying to field
the ball that Brown caught. The How¬
ard crew went on a clubbing spree in
the seventh, however, that settled the
question for once and for all and drove
in 4 men, on a pair of hits, O'Brien’s
error helping considerably.
Manor started the game for South¬
ern and besides hurling nice ball, hit
4 times out of 4 trips, one of them
being a homerun, and scored 2 tallies.
McTrottis relieved him in the sev¬
enth, Manor going to leftfleld.
Nichols opened for Howard and
lasted for nearly 6 frames, giving up
4 hits and 3 runs during the time.
Brown contributed Southern with a
pair of runs, on wild throws, but flung
the pill In nice fashion for the re¬
mainder of the game, getting fine
support.
Captain Balne, playing with a broken
finger, was much In evidence during
the little setto in Munger Bowl, and
started the fireworks for the afternoon
when he scored on Lowry’s hit after
he had been given a pass and had
stolen second base. Bains scored 3
times during the afternoon, each time
getting to the Initial bag on 4 balls.
Ivey Homer*
Nichols walked McLaughlin In the
latter part of the first frame and Mc¬
Laughlin scored on Perdue's hit. Ivey’s
homer was good for one run on the
Howard side of the register In the sec¬
ond, and Bains scored again In the
third on Lowry’s second hit of the
game.
Manor came through with his blow
In the third and made the score 3-2
in the Bulldogs' favor. Cawthorne
walked in the fourth and scored on
Nichole’ hit, and O'Brien made It 4-3
by scoring on Ray’s single.
Brown relieved Nichols In the fifth
and Manor singled and scored. Ray
counted for the Panther in the sixth
and from then on the scoreboard was
on Southern’s

The Howard College Bulldogs tasted
sweet revenge Thursday afternoon
when they whipped the Spring Hill
diamond aggregation by the score of
7 to- 3 In a game featured by heavy
hitting on both sides. Bull Smith
pitched a great game against his home
town team and was backed up by good
fielding. The Mobile team won over
the Bulldogs earlier in the season.
Smith failed to get started right In
the 'first part of the game and the
visitors- hit him hard. In the first two
frames they scored their total of three
rune, too ktwo free passes to first base
and hit for 4 safeties, 2 of which were
triples. Howard, the Howard mounds-
man settled down to real work and
held the opposing team down from
then on.
Both teams scored 1 run in the first
inning. The visitors gained a 2-run
lead lit the second and when Jackson
failed to score In Howard's half after
slugging out a 3-bagger, things began
to look bad for the local nine. For
the next 7 Innings, however, the
Spring Hill batters seldom hit any of
Smith’s offerings out of the infield and
were held scoreless. Only 2 men
reached the third sack for the rest of
the game. Murphy singled In the sixth
and was sent down by Herpin’s safe
bingle only to be left on when the
following batsmen were put out in the
Infield.
Chink Lowry was responsible for
Howard’s first 3 runs. Bains came
In In the first when Halloran fumbled

on the losing team and the other, the
