METHOD|STS READY
 FOR ALBERTv|LLE
Coach Brown Has Steadily
 Improved His Team. Game Friday

The Methodists have just completed the first half of their difficult schedule, which has been very successful, as only one defeat is charged against them. Alabama defeated them by two touchdowns in the initial game Of the two colleges.
 Since then the Panthers have developed stronger and have easily defeated the following teams: Marion Institute, to 6; Southwestern Presbyterian university Clarksville, Tenn, 25 to 0; Spring Hill of Mobile, 33 to c; Jacksonville Normal, 57 to O. It will be noticed that the scoring has advanced with each game and now the question is in doubt as to whether they will be able to uphold this method when they meet the Albertvi1le Aggies on the campus Friday.
 It will be remembered from last sea- son that the Aggies quietly slipped into the Methodists' camp last season and de- lberately snatched victory by the score of 10 to '.
 No chances will be taken Friday and the Methodists are confident of ringing up a victory by an overwhelming score even though the Aggies are reported to have a very strong eleven. After this game the Partners will settle to the strenuous grind in preparation for their annual battle with their Baptist brethren, better known as Howard.

 It was a tribute to Little Johnnies' gameness and willingness to lead the fight every minute of play against the strongest quintets in the south for the two yesrs he has played left forward on the A. A. C.. and 1t was deserving tribute.
 The initial game will probably be played the first Saturday night in De- cember, when the week end dance will be transferred to the City club from the East Lake club house.
 The athletic club should have a great team this year. Coach Joe Bean has been whipping the squad into shape for the past two weeks. He has reporting for practice all of last years regulars with the exception of T1llou Forbes, who played forward on the team for five years, and now has decided to give up basketball because of business.

STAG AT ATHLETIC CLUB TOMORROW;;
 GOOD PROGRAMME
Dr. Dedman Arranging Lively Events for Enter tainment of Members
 Tomorrow Night

The first of the winter series of stags at the Birmingham Athletic club will be given tomorrow night at the club for members only. As has been the custom in previous years, stags have been given at intervals of about 15 days during the months of November to March This cus- tom will be followed again this season, and Dr. James E. DedInan. who is in charge of the Affairs, is busily engaged in making the initial entertainment a success.
 Probably the best event of the pro- gramme will be the battle royal The athletic club has the reputation of stag ing the best free-for-all battles between the negro sluggers in the city Physical Director Ed Spencer is selecting the fighters and the best six fighters in Br- mingham will be put in the ring to- gether.
 The battle royal will not be the only star event of the programme. Both Dr. Dedman and MT. Spencer are using their utmost efforts to make the affair a huge success. Tt will be the best stag we have ever given" said Dr. Dedman. t'We have numerous new stunts we are going to put on and the members will be sur prised. Wrestling, boxing and other ath- letic events will, as usual, be on the pro- gramme, but I'm not going to say what will be our main event other than the battle royal"
 A feature of the stag will be that none but/ members will be admitted and no admission will be charged. Refreshments will also be served.
