HOWARD IN DANGER OMCB
SHAW STAYS AT QUARTER
Hammering tactics pdt over Howard
College's third football victory of the
season last Friday in a game on the
Baptist gridiron against the eleven of
the Ninth District Agricultural School.
The score was 20 to 0. Duke, “Peck"
Hughes and Captain Blackwelder scored
a touchdown • each. Blackwelder kicked
two goals after touchdown.
Howard scored two more touchdowns
which were disallowed. Campbell was
called back once after going over, and
Howard was penalised for being offside.
Shaw went around the “Aggies” right
end for the other touchdown and was
called back, the Baptists being -penalised
fifteen yards for holding. Howard was
held for downs at another time with the
ball on the "Aggies” one-foot line.
Duke scored his touchdown after inter¬
cepting a forward pass on the Farmers'
forty-yard line. Hughes scored his six
points after picking up an “Aggy”fumble
and going thirty yards. Blackwelder
scored oh an eight-yard line buck.
Blackwelder tried a drop kick in the
first half, but the ball went wide.
Mercer has not shown superior form ^ The Blountsville eleven had oftly one
this season, and last Saturday the strong
squad of the University of Chattanooga
defeated the Georgia Baptists by a good
score. Left End Dowis, of Mercer, had
his leg broken in the game, and he will
be out of the line-up for the rest of the
"Mercer University next," is the cry
^at Howard College this week, and Coach
Eugene L. Catori has his football squad
В
bending, twisting, ripping, bucking, tack¬
ling and spilling with all the vim and
power the warriors are able to show.
Hard work is the daily schedule, with
every effort being made to shape the
Baptist eleven for the first of a series of
four hard games.
Howard has won the last three games,
having lost this season only to the Uni¬
versity of Alabama. Further sustaining
thq record, Alabama eleven is the only
eleven to crow Howard's goal line. It

down the field. Hughes overtook him
on the twenty-yard line. The Farmers
were held, and the ball went over.
In the first period, Howard failed to
get away with anything, the Farmers
playing hard and holding the Baptiste
without a tally With the beginning of
the second period, Howard began her
rushing tactics, which were kept up
throughout the game. The Blountsville
backs could not stop Blackwelder, Camp¬
bell and Hughes. Quarterback Shaw
cooled under file and began to show the
best ’generalship the second-string man
has been able to exhibit this season.
When pie game was called, Howard
was driving up-field at a terrific rate,
with ‘ a touchdown in sight if another
two or three minutes could have been
tacked ,to\the quarter.
The Biriningham News gave the fol¬
lowing account of the game:
Howard -s football eleven encountered
little opposition in the game with the
Ninth District Agricultural School, of
Blountsvillh, Friday afternoon, when the
Baptists wijn liy a score of 20 to 0.
Coach Cdjton’s chargee after the first
five minutes of play had very little
trouble in peeping the ball in the visi¬
tors’ territory ■ and had they not been
penalized in their frenzied attempt to
roll up a big score would have had two
more touchdowns to their credit.

“Weaver probably will not be able to go
in the game, and it ia not likely that
McPhaul and Price will be in condition.
We may be crippled up, but we are go¬
ing after the game."
Shaw’s showing at quarterback last
Friday has led Coach Caton to continue
the Sumter County boy at the pivot,
shifting him to end on the defense. Shaw
showed good judgment in directing the
Baptists against Blountsville. Campbell,
«ha has been taking care of quarter, is
фЗЦ
so well from fullback that Coach
!|C»to«»*has decided to give him further
fcorij,-outs from that position. Campbell
has a hard drive and it shifty, being able
to shake off the secondary defense often
and continuing down the field.-
