Dan Hammack has been seen ca vorting around in left field and that •ioy looks good for All-Southern se- ection this year. He cove ring ven more .territory than last year and gets the ball anywhere from shortstop to the fence. Harvey Shepard hap acquired 60 per cent more speed since last year and was grabbing the apple in all parts of the field, proving that he ia not out of the- running when the team i» selected. .Harvey seems.to have his eye on the ball when he comes to oat, also. . p . Some others who look good' in the outfield are Shorty Poore and Shorty i’etteway. ■ These boys are fast and appear to be right, Henderson looks like a million dollars on short.

A. A. tournament in the New City Auditorium last Saturday night by s score of 39 to 38. One of. the. greatest crowds of the season witnessed the greatest prep basket ball game that has ever been played in the city. At the time that the Anal goal was negotiated only six seconds remained of the game, and the Atlantans in these few brief mo ments were unequal to snatching vic tory out of defeat.
