And thirdly, they had a record of never {having lost a game to the Panthers ‘at their home field to uphold. Manual Lineup |

Coach Harry Painter has the bovs in good shape and wound up prac-| tice yesterday with a light signal] drill and kicking practice.

Dewey Donovon and Harold Overton for tackles; Geon Mordoh and Charles Fletcher in the guard pos’ tions, Alfred Johnson, center; Pea .y Hickey at quarter, Russel Bu tis, | right half: Morris Nahmias, left half. and Norman Williams for fullback. Standout game of the dav was Shortridge’s meeting with Southport at Roosevelt Stadium at 8 p. m. After their 33-to-0 victory over Broad Ripple last week the Rlue| Devils will be hard to stop, although Southport has a weight advantage and has played one more game than | the locals. One of the regulars. John Allerdice, who was injured in the Ripple tilt last week. will not see action. | In a North Central Conference game Tech was to meet Morton at Richmond. The Irish of Cathedral were out] for their third straight victory sgainst Noblesville tonight. A light arill completed their preparation vesterday. Rockets Try to Repeat
