explorers pushed northward across

vim and rush that was irresistible Long
shoots, quick passes and perfect defensive
tactics followered each other in rapid
succession and quickly they overcame the
lead against them. From then on the
contest was repete with thrills and in
decision until the last few minutes of
plaJ when the Mobile five forged ahead.
and when the referees whistle called a
halt to activities the Gulf City team led
by a single point.
While practically every player on both
teams put up a fast and aggressive ex-
hibition, the work of Soost for Mobile,
and Seals for the Athletic club stands
out prominently from that of their team
mates. Soost was the distinct star of
the game. His shooting, passing and all
round team work was of a class seldom
seen in Birmingham. Captain Baum
hauser of Mobile proved a thoroughly
capable general He handled his team
perfectly, directing their every play With
unerring Judgment.
Coach Donahue of Auburn, who
refereed the contest. handled the game
well considering the closeness of the fight,
and the intense rivalry of the two oppon-
ents. He was somewhat lax in calling
fouls, but his work was generally salts
factory.

MOBILE Y. NJ c. A. BASKETBALL
FIVE TRIUMPTIS OVER B. A. c.
LOCAL ATHLETES LOSE HARD
FOUGHT CONTEST TO THE
GULF CITY BoYS-GAME A
THRILLER

In one of the fastest and best played
Basketball contests ever staged on a Bir-
mingham court. the Mobile Y. NJ. C. a.
five triumphed over the Birmingham Ath-
1etic club team here last night by 4 score
of 80 to s2
The two teams met each flushed with
an unbroken string of victories for the
season and each admitted most formid-
able contender for the south's basketball
supremacy, and the resulting exhibition
was one that will long be remembered
among Birmingham basketball circles.
In losing the contest the b. A. c. sup
porters, while keenly disappointed, have
no reason to be ashamed of the work OF
their favorites. In facing the Mobile ag-
gregation, Coach Nospors athletes were
perhaps pitted against the strongest ag-
gregation that any southern court affcrds.
Columbus alone stands between the Mo
bile five and the southern championship.
Fast and Snappy Contest
The game itself was one where high
class, fast and snappy basketball relgned
supreme. The perfect team work, the ac-
curate passing, and unerring shooting of
goals on the part of both teams, time and
again, brought the spectators to Their
feet in enthusiastic applause. Costly
fumbles on the part of the Athletic club
was the only detail that marred their
play.
Coach Nespors athletes began activities
with their accustomed rush With the
starters whistle they leaped into the con-
test rushing their opponents from their
feet by their dazzling speed and perfect
team work. Throughout the first half,
they outplayed the boys from the gulf,
and when the half was over they were
leading by 10 points, with prospects we'll
in their favor to eliminate another for
midable contender from the champion
