LARGE ENROLMENT
University Has More Pupils Than Any
 Year Since the War

Tuscaloosa February 2.-(SpeciaD-The enrolment at the university for the pres ent session has reached 245. That is within five of the number predicted by the presi- dent last summer, several weeks in ad- vance of the opening of the session. It is hoped that the 250 will yet be reached, as a few may come in after the mid-year ex- aminations CT at fthe beginning of the spring term dn March.
 This is the largest enrolment since the war, the highest in any previous session being 241 in 1SS5-S6. It is higher than any enrolment in one year before the war. Up to the beginning of the war between the states the highest enrolment was IA in 1S56-57. Indeed, with the exception of 1S63-64, it Is the highest enrolment in any year in the history of the university. That year the enrolment was 355 but majority of the students were boys in the preparatory department, whereas the university now has no such department, and receives no preparatory pupils. This all refers to the university at Tuscaloosa. The figures from the medical department at Mobile will doubtless swell the totals to over 400.
 The mid-year examinations will begin next Monday and continue throughout the week. As soon as they are over, practice for the base ball season will begin.

APOPLEXY STRIKES
 COL. ROQUEMORE
The Prominent Lawyers Condi-
 ton is PrecariouS.
GRAVE FEARS ENTERTAINED
ceiVing the Stroke-Physioians Are Doing Everything Pos
 sible to Revive Him

Montgomery February 2.-(Special.)- Col. John D. Roquemore, one of the ablest lawyers in Alabama and prominent as- pirant for senatorial honors, is in serious condition today. From the family resi- deDce this morning it was announced that Colonel Roquemore had, during the night suffered a stroke of paralysis in the right side, followed by apoplexy. Not for a moment since he retired last night, then in the very best of health, has he been ra- tional.
 Shortly past o'clock this morning Mrs Roquemore entered the sleeping apart ment to arouse him, breakfast being in readiness. She was shocked to find that she could not awaken her husband, and after repeated efforts, summoned others in the houshold It was then suspected that he had experienced stroke of paraly- sis attended by a more serious affection, but it was not thought to be as serious then as it seems to be now, that several physicians have exhausted almost every means in their efforts to restore conscious ness.
 Colonel Roquemore is now surrounded by members of his family and friends, who with medical aid are doing everything pos sible to revive him. Telephone messages from the house are by no means encour- aging this afternoon, and grave fears are entertaiped
 Colonel Roquemore is about 52 years of age, and is among the best known men in Alabama. His sudden affliction will be noted with profound sorrow by many friends throughout the state.
 The latest from Colonel Roquemore is to the effect that he is resting easy, though in a precarious condition.

WATERLOO IF
 THE CHAMP|O IONS Exciting Game of Basket Ball at the Athletic CIub-"B"
 Team Won.

Teams "A" and "B" are now tied for the basket ball championship of the Athletic club, "B'' having won an intensely exciting game from "A" last night. Victory for "A" last night meant the championship for that team and the placing of the cov- eted position beyond the reach of either "B'' or "C." Realizing this, both teams went in to win, and the result was forty minutes of the hottest basket ball play ing ever seen in Birmingham.
 A with two victories to her credit and no defeats, walked into the arena with a supreme air of confidence, but the game had not proceeded far until they recog- nized in their opponents foemen worthy of their steel. From the start "B' had the better of the argument,-an pushed the game with an aggressiveness that could not end otherwise than in victory. Captain Ferguson of A." one of the very best players in the club, was unable to throw a single goal, by reason of the close watch and timely interference of Ed Warren, right guard for "B" Beside preventing Ferguson from making any goals, Warren scored four points. Dean and Stolen werck, of a. also did some fine playing Dean throwing three goals from the field
  sell and Huey put up good game for IA In fact, all the players on both sides played excellent ball.
 At the end of the first half the score was | tied, each team having made nine points In the last half ''B" mace twelve points and A three, making the total score 21 for "B" and F for IA.
 The lineup of the teams was as follows: IA" Position. "B" Huey... ...center... =. ...Wellman Ferguson, Capt..r forward. Dean, Capt Crawford. left forward. .Stollenwerck Brazeltin.. ..risdIt guard..... ...Warren Roberts. ... ...left guard. =. ..Norman The following is the standing of the teams in the present series:

 After the game last night the Athletic club entertained their friends with an in- formal dance.
 The attendance at the game was the largest of the season, every available seat and all the standing room being taken.
