BIRMINGHAM PLAYS
VANDERBILT SQUAD
FINE GAME OF BASKETBALL AN
TIcIPATED IN CONTEST ToMoR-
ROW NIGHT AT LOCAL CLUBS
eYMNAsIUM-eooD TEAMS.

The Birmingham Athletic club and the
Vanderbilt university basketball teams
will meet in the Athletic club gymnasium
tomorrow night, and as both teams are
In the pink of condition there is no
doubt that close and interesting game
will be pulled Off
The Birmingham team drubbed the
Montgomery squad numerically Few
days ago, but "yandy's" team will be
stronger and will be chosen from the fol-
lowing Hamilton, Blakeyand Haygood
forwards; Stone captain, center; Craig
Cunningham and Engis, guards; Brown
Tillman and Hall, substitutes.
Stone was star of the old Mooney
basketball team, and Is one of Wander
bits foremost athletes. He is Wander
bilt all-star guard on the football team,
and has made the "all-southern' the past
two years. Hamilton, Bob Blake and Dan
Blake are all football men. Haygood and
Hall are stars on the track team, the
former holding the southern championship
for pole vaulting and the latter long
distance man. Englis and Cunningham
are stars in the national game
1t will be seen that the team from
Tennessee is composed of a punch Of
star athletes, but the Birmingham men
have the pluck and go in them that wins
and hold a record that is to be envied
by the most successful teams.

"pe Lancey.v at the Jefferson.

What a tribute to John Drew, last
nights audience at the Jefferson was!
Every seat filed, event to the top boxes
and the top gallery. And people came to
see, not something spectacular, but Just
a quiet even-running drawing-room play.
Drew, who was by no means a stranger
in Birmingham for he comes here every
year of late. But they came, and the
glory belonged to the actor who boasts
long line of great players and who is
ever true to his chosen and inherited
art.
The play last night was written by
Augustus Thomas, who seems to have
become tired of presenting far west
scenes and stirring military stories, and
to have for relief turned to society and
characters in polite circles in New York.
The movement of the play is not stir
ring. and it requires a great deal of
talking on the part of the players. De
Lancey, the title role presented by Mr..
Drew. is an ex-West Pointer and an ex-
husband. He consented to a divorce de-
cree In order to save the reputation of
Jacqueline, who had been named as a.
correspondent in the divorce papers. Jac-
queline's engagement to DIR. Eliot Morton
had been announced The play goes quiet
ly on and in the end Dr. Morton falls in
love with Irene Willard, and James De
Lancey is left free to marry Jacqueline

which leads the league by 200 points, will
meet the hard playing Ensley High

endeavoring to overcome the lead of the
first two teams of the organization and
will no doubt put up one of the hard
est fought contests of the series.
The second game of the afternoon will
he between the Pratt City High school
and the University High school teams.
These teams are evenly matched and an
excellent game is anticipated. Captain
Tom Peace of the University team led
his men in one of the closest games OF
the league last Friday afternoon in a
most admirable manner, showing excel
lent placing and consistent practice.
The girl students of the out-of-town
schools will be the special guests at these
games although all ladies are admitted
free to the games avery Friday Black
and red are the colors of the Pratt City
High school. and will be carried by the
young lady students of that institution,

Virginia Bonbern and Prof p. IL. Nc
Neil. Miss Myrtle Francis and Miss An
ma McElheren will chaperone the young
ladies of the Ensley High school, who
will wear the orange and black, repre-
senting the Ensley team
These games of the Preparatory Stu
dents league have been full of interest
and athletic profit to the large number
of students playing in them. East, clean
snort has been developed and the friend
ly spirit of rivalry has been fostered
under the proper influences.
