EXCELLENT CONTESTS
 AT ATHLETIC CLUB

Standing of the Teams.

Basketball as 1t should be played. was the article of sport put up last night at the Birmingham Athletic club, and the small crowd that braved the weather was amply repaid for it's efforts. Never has there been such passing this sea- son. not even in the great game against Yale. The losing team hung on gamely and were close behind the winners at all times. so close that the excitement was continuous, and had the crowd been greater the conditions would have been ideal.

Will Riddle also showed up well with points.
 The Whites defeated the Fellows by a score of 26 to IS, and thereby tied the league standing Each team has now won two games and lost an equal num- Der. They will start practically all over again now.

McBrlde and Streit showed indi- cations of developing into championship material before the end of the season
 Wellman and Joe Riddle played well for the Yellows, but their work was off, set by Whites aggressiveness Incident ally Joe Riddle should continue to play guard. where he makes more points than as forward.
 Judging by the play last night, any one of the teams could have defeated the squad from Tulane which bested the ciraAs>s- pIelxed team last Tuesday. They have played together long enough to develop team work, and the prospects are excellent for some very fine sport before the close of the basketball season.
