TIME ba sket ball candidates for the
Atlanta Athletic Club team are
hard at work and the fight for
berths on the first team is proving
mighty interesting.
If quantity { material counts for
anything, the club is sure to have an
other good season. There are twenty
candidates on the squad and this in
cludes the regulars Of last years team.
The boys are devoting most of .hel,
time these days hooting baskets u,
rather, at the basket Passing and
running up and down the floor also
plays a big part in the training just q;
present.
The squad has been divided INTO
two teams and all the candidates are
getting an opportunity to display their
worth. The first team is composed of
Ed Carter, captain of last years
squad Tillow Forbes. Willingham
Smith, PIE" Weaver. Tom Abbott,
z. NJ. Jones, Walter Locke and Ward
Wight on the second team is Fal-
vey, Ragsdale, RamspeCk. Carl and
Ernest Taylor, Irwin, II. Smith. Cox
and Coleman.
During the past ten days short
scrimmages have been held eve-y
night and some interesting games
have been the result The second
team is showing better every time
they line up and the new men are
improving so fast that it is now hard
to tell just who will make the first
team this fall The old-aaen begin TO
realize that their places are not so
secure, and they are fighting harder
than ever to retain them.
The management is working on the
schedule, and the training table is
now in operation.

blocked by Vanderbilt, and the ball
rolled back of Michigan's goal line
and in between some wire fences so
that it was almost impossible for any
player of either team to get at the
ball. In fact, my understanding is
that Tom Brown was injured on this
very play in trying to secure the ball.
Well, there lay the ball. If a Van
derbilt man secured it it would be a
touchdown; but if Michigan man
fell on it safety would be all that
would be awarded against the Woly-
crimes. But neither team could get
10 it. Then what?
The referee decided the case a
safety against Michigan.
Again I think the official showed
good common sense In such a case
the equities Of the situation call for
the least penalty that can be imposed
against the team. 1t was by no
means certain that a Vanderbilt man
could or would secure the ball, and
for members of either team to con
tinue trying to do so was dangerous
in the extreme. Under the cirCum-
stances it was quite the correct thing
for the referee to stop play at once
by giving a seemingly arbitrary de-
riSinn.

long as she has a husband, and that no

rancy law against idlers cannot touch

Sometimes married women support
worthless or helpless husbands" the
court remarks, "but to hold that they
were legally bound to do so would prH
an unwarrantable burden OH the holy
estate of matrimony, and would make
undesirable for woman the very re-
lation into which the law encourages
her to enter"
In a case where vagrancy Was
charged against married woman, the
court holds that it is enough simply D
show that the woman is married and
that the husband is in duty bound to
support her-whether he does in fact
or not.
