team there. The team will return
Saturday morning to lock horns with

Although yesterday there was some
doubt aa to whether the game would
ho played or not, due to the fact that
one of the players on the Macon “Y"
was ineligible, the affair was satisfac
torily adjusted by Professor Stanford.
He has been assured by the authori
ties of the Macon "Y" that the player
In question will not participate In the
game tonight.
Athens bszketball fans will take no
tice of the fact that the dates of the
two games between Oeorgla and the
Atlanta Athletic club have bean
changed. The first game, which eras
scheduled for Athens on 'February
10th, has been changed to Atlanta,
The second game of the series will ha
played In Athens on February 22d.
This change of dates waa necessi
tated by the fact that the 8. I. A. A.
tcurnament will begin In Atlanta on
February 25tb. Consequently, the
game scheduled for the 2fith had tn
be moved up.
By playing tbo Athletic club here
on the 22d a great number of students
and townspeople will be able to go
to Atlanta for the week-end to pull

ment which will take place there,
Georgia has an excellent cliance to

as possible will be on hand to nee
the job well done.
