Nov. 26th, 1939, Birmingham News: "Southern Sophomore Starter"

There was much hype around the Birmingham-Southern / Howard College (now Samford University) match-up to take place on November 30th, 1939. Birmingham-Southern was putting an end to its football program at the end of this season so this would be the final contest between the Dixie Conference opponents in a rivalry that was being played for the 29th time since 1907.

Here, the Birmingham News is giving us something of a "one-to-watch" segment about one of the Birmingham-Southern that would participate. I plan to have a similar post about a Howard player tomorrow.
