Birmingham has a strong tcam, as

up & 36 to 12 score on the Slaglown
boys in Athens last night, but the
Red and Black also has a powerful
aggregation, with such players as
Cox, Pound, Mott and Cheves In the
line-up.
Gillam will be at forward for Bir.
mirgham tonight. He is one of the
fastest In the SBouth, and held up his
end very well, according to Athens
reports, Pight of the 12 points went
to Glllam. Montgomery and Baker
are another great pair of players who
will give the Atlanta team trouble
Joe Bean is confident that nis men
will get away, however. He says they
have the old pep, which Is always
necessary for & team to win, and that
they are fighting mad. They're going
afier the Scuther: championship, ana

on short notice after Kid Ruddy, whe
was billed (o box the fizhter from the
fort, showed up and claimed that he
was not in condition. Logan did the
best he could under the circumstances.
A bout between Falk and Jack Harris
would draw a big house, and |t is likely
they will be matched for a fight in the

T was a great game at Marietta
l yvesterday afternoon, but very
rough. Miss Reynolds, of Semi
nary, was removed from the game
for hayving committed four personal
fouls, and two others, Misses Kern
and Stringfellow, were just ready to
drop out-——each had three personal
fouls-~when they tlghtened up on
their playing and were allowed to
finish the game, which ended 13 to 4,
in favor f Marietta.
Miss Rebecca Cole played excellent
ball, scaring 6 of the 13 points made
by her team. It looks as If this young
lady 1s en the road to a position on
the All-Prep. Captain Galley also
played good ball. She has the honor
of not having a ficld goal scéred on
her this season. Miss Willlams played
her usual game at guard.
Miss llsabelle Wayt is about the
best player on the Seminary team.
She {8 also the pluckiest. In the last
half she ran squarely into a Marietta
player, and was knocked out. She
stayed out nearly five minutes and
everyone was beginning to think that
she would have to be taken home in
an ambulance, when she jnmped up
and the game proceeded. Anyone
could see that she was very badiy
hurt, bt nevertheless, she played ex
cellent ball the remainder of the
game

Minus the services of their captaln,
but with the services of a mighty
good center, the Fulton High girls
came out with the big end of a 14-4
score against College Park.
Miss Frances Phillips, a native of
College Park, plaved one of the best
games of baskethall we have ever
seen, She found the goal for 6 points,
guarded her opponent very closely
and did o lion's share in rendering
the rest of the College Park contin
gent helpless. Miss Graves also
played a great game on working the
floor and added & polnts to the win
ners’ column. Miss Adame, who
served in Miss WilliansY abaence, de.
serves a great deal of credit Al
though falling to score, she was part.
Iy responsible for a good many points
made by fellow players, ’
Martha RBranham, leader in points
scored during this season, falled to
negotlate a basket, but more than
made up for this in her guard work
Misses Procter and Lambert are
two good pluayers. ™he first is a for
ward of great ability and a free toss
expert. The Intter is a guard that
made things hot under the winners’
basket, Not to forget Miss Neville,
who rang the only fleld goal of the

W came back, and won over the
Fulton High team yesterday
at College Park. 30-15. The dope
pointed to a good game and a good
game it was, if you witnessed it from
| ————
‘he G. M. A. viewpoint. But trom_t_k_l_e
other, well, the Fulton team and root-‘\
ers were pretty much disappointed.
They had counted on G. M. A. giving
them a close battle, but never once
had it dawned that the game might
g 0 to the lads from College Park.
It seems as if Hartley is the life of
the cadet team. They had pep, luck
and skill yesterday when last Tues
day against the Smithies it can hard
ly be truthfully stated they had these
Hartley was all over the court and in
the midst of everything that was tak
ing place.
Gomez, the speed mérchant, played
a decidedly different game than in the
past, He took more interest iu the
dolngs and had an eagle eye fastened
on the basket. He was ably assisted
by Frank Armstead. Both accounted
for 12 pointers,
Laird played well and did the big
gest share of scoring for the losers.
He accounted for & points and broke
up the 'pass work of the G. M. A
team to a considerable extent. Yeager
handled himself nicely anl found the
rings good for 4 points. Stephenson,
who was hurt in the game w?’h the
Junior Smithies, was back and played
nice ball,

in the Prep League this year, and
some of the old stars state that it
breaks the State record. Peacock
also outdid itself, scoring 18 points.

total of 30 points during the first
half. Gaston came next with 22. Both
of the Joes were right and they made
their shots good nearly every time.
Tech High's passing was of high
caliber and it was this that baffled
the Peacock lads,
Willingham and Merritt, of the

best game for the losers. LeCraw

“Unele” Nick Altrock, who was signed
to coach Clark Griffith’s ‘pitchers, hold
down the third base coaching hox and
make the fans laugh next summer, just
grins when he reads in the papers that
this or that player “will retain his es

“It's the bunk.” Nick told Griff, after
putting his name on the dotted line.
“Getting out of the hay at 6 o'clock ain't
in it with the oid 8 o'clock call in base
ball. Every one of those guys will be
yvelling for transportation as soon as the
time comes.””
Altrock has been working in a shipyard
at Alexandria, Va., ever since the major

}stant.ly, hreaking up the passing of
the Birmingham teamy and making;
several spectacular field zoals, while

whenever the occasion demanded,
‘fihnoling in all 12 points.

Georgia for a few minutes. After the
teams had held neck and neck for a
' while in an open game which moved
rapidly up and down the floor, the
Georgia team suddenly commenced
|the most successful and brilliant
| passing seen on the local court, the
Lall snapping beautifully from man to
mar. At the end of the half the score
was 15 to 9 in Georgia’s favor.
Birmingham was unable to come
back in the second half, being totally
powerless before the puzziing swift- |
ness of the Red and Black attack.|
Three points on fouls were the only!

while Georgia added 21. Toward the
end of the half there was a generall

However, Referee Jones, assisted by
the members of ;the Red and Blackl
squad, handled ihe situation admir
ably, and no trouble resulted,
