"We'l be in fine trim" said Coach Brummage of the Birmingham Athletic club basketball team, who will meet Vanderbilt five tonight at s:30 o'clock The game promises to be one of the best on the locals schedule for the present season.
 The locals have been training for the game for the last week, and should be in great condition. Following their victory over the American School of Osteopathy, daily practice has been the remedy that Coach Brummage has ap- piled to his promising machine. The workouts have been strenuous and the effect is plainly visible. The work, which was also bit weak in the last game, has been made almost perfect.
 Although the local five will not pre- sent an unbeatabl team, followers eX- pect to see a strong team take the floor Coach Brummage has had an abundance of material to work with and judging from the appearance of the team in the last game, the B. A. c. five will return to prominence in southern basketball circles after an ab- sence of several years
 Although Captain McGowan has been shifted to guard, the Irishman has not lost any of his effectiveness. Indica- tions are that Tommie will have his best season for several years under the leadership of Coach Brummage At the other guard Briscoe Seals, veteran, will be in his old place. Seals is a valuable man, and is the mainstay of the team. It will probably be Briscoe' s job to keep Josh Cody from ringing too man goals tonight.
 Luther Strange is performing wonder fully at center and will prove to be one of the best shooters on the team before the close of the season. Luther is a veteran and his experience is in . valuable.
 Brazelton will appear at one for ward while either Robertson or Gillian best forward that Coach Brumma ge can boast of and with a good partner to work with, he will prove to be a terror to his opponents. It usually takes about two guards to stop Braz- elton, but it's always too late then. Robertson and Gillian are both good but are not as up-to date as Brazelton.
  the .Invincible". Brazelton. In the Vandy five appears a bunch of gridiron stars that helped carry the south's highest honors to the Com modore school. Led by one MT. Josh Cody, an all-southern tackle, the Com | modores will present a strong lineup 1 Cody plays forward, and is supposed i to be as good in ringing goals as he was in breaking up plays behind the line. At the other forward is Davidson Nothing is known of him except he's a bear. He is conceded to be the best forward in college basketball and then some. He's a most dangerous man for the opponents and if any trouble is coming, Davidson is usually responsible It's up to Captain Tommie and Bris- COG. that's plain enough.
 Pud Reyer, the giant center on the I football team, plays the same position on the basket tossing group. With his heavy weight and exceedingly long i reach he, too, is a man the locals must watch. Ray, also a member of the l football team, is the substitute center 1 Turner and Blair hold down the guards and, as the others, were members | of the football team Woodward and Parker are the subs" for these posi- tions.
 1 The locals have fight before them | and if they defeat the Commodores il 1 will be over a team worth boosting of. The game will give local fans a good line on the prospects of the B. A. C. ! five for the present season A dance will follow the game. Coach Pritchard of CentralsHigh school will referee.
