ALABAMA ID HAVE BIC LEAGUE" TEAM Hugo Friedman Talks of Great Interest in Athletics
 at the University

The University of Alabama will turn out "big league" baseball team in the spring, according to V. Hugo Fried man of Tuscaloosa, graduate manager of athletics at the university, who was at the Tutwiler last night.
 MT. Friedman states that the univer- sity has a vast number of experienced players from which 1t is believed one of the best baseball teams which has represented the Crimson White in re- cent years will be developed
 The outlook for the coming season is the best we have had in several years" said MT. Friedman. We have an unusually large number of old men to begin with and some very promising new material is on hand. Coach Kelly, who has been so i'll for many months, not be able to do any of the actual work of coaching the baseball team his presence and advice will help material ly. He will be in charge of the football team next fall, and we are already at work to surpass the record made dur ing the past season.
 The new gymnasium is proving a big factor in boosting athletics al the university, and the new athletic field, which will be ready for the baseball season. will serve to give us as fine facilities for athletics as are possessed by the best universities in the coun- try"

 SLINGING NO MUD
Candidate for Congress From Seventh District Against Burnett Spent
 Yesterday in Birmingham

There will be no mud singing in the race for Congress from the Seventh dis trict if the other candidates follow the example of Watt T. Brown of Ragland, who made his announcement in opposi ton to Congressman Burnett some days ago at Albertville.
 MT. Brown was in Birmingham Sat urday on his way from Marshall coun- ty to his home. q do not intend to base my claims for election to this of flee on any shortcomings of my op- ponents, said MT. Brown. q have made no criticism of either MT. Burnett or MT. Rainey, and l am making my campaign upon the record l have made in legislative matters in the state sen ate, and in the field of education in the south. I think the people of Alabama have had too much political mudsling- ing in the past, and, for my part, I pro- pose to run for Congress on my own record and upon the plans which l have for work in Congress, should l be elected

It was particularly due to the re- markable playing of Captain Tommie McGowan and Biscoe Seals that the
 strong rivalry between Birmingham and Atlanta quenched the thirst of the local delegation. The playing of Nc Gowan surpassed anything on the To. cal court in number of years and, al though the Atlanta five fought con. tinuously to stop Irish" his wonder. ful playing was never checked, al though he was ''laid out several times from rough work at the hands of the Crackers guards
 Not member of the Atlanta team can be accused of not fighting, for it was their lover fighting that cost them the victory and probably ard, the referee, tried in vain to check the rough playing by calling numer- ous fouls on the Cracker five, but it seemed to be habit with them and no sooner than play had been re- sumed the referees whistle would in dicate another foul. The Atlanta team committed 27 fouls
 The excellent fight spirit, although it had much to do with the victory of the locals, did not alone defeat the At lanta team The locals played an ex- cellent game, man to man. They worked as a team and surpassed the Crackers in this respect. Birming ham s passwork was excellent, showing re- markable improvement since the last game. It is to Gillam and McGowan that must be handed the honors of baffling the Crackers in passwork, for time after time their clever lodging would throw an onrushing Atlantian.
 The roughness of the game is cas- fly shown in that three players were removed from the game. Robertson and Ed Carter engaged in a small diff ficulty and were removed from the game, while in the last few minutes of play Frank Carter came near causing a riot when he and Seals got mixed up in miniature affair. It is thought Seals suffered a broken nose.

Never before has a rougher game been staged on the local court. Atlanta was chiefly to blame and especially Ed Carter, who started the rough stuff The game did not assume an indoor football" stage until the At lantians were left in the dust near the middle of the opening half The playing of Carter brought unanimous disap- proval from the largest crowd that ever witnessed a basketball game in Birmingham.
 Birmingham held the lead almost throughout the first half, although the score was always of only a few points difference. As throughout the game Me Gowan's foul goal shooting kept Bir- mingham at the fore and at the end of the first half the score stood 19 to 15 in favor of the locals
 The second half opened with re- newed fury and by playing the locals off their feet for the opening part of the half, Atlanta forged points into the lead. McGowan got his foul goal shooting working right and soon the locals had the affair tied up in a hard knot. The leadership changed hands frequently and when the last minute of play arrived the score was tied. At 1anta made foul and the locals took point lead. A few seconds later again Atlanta made a foul and McGowan made it good" Before play was again resumed time was called and Birming- ham for the first time in several years returned the victor over Atlanta.
 The entire local aggregation played a great game and all deserve congrat- ulations for the magnificent style in which they sent their hated rivals down in defeat. Atlanta outclassed the locals. was the opinion. Atlanta had tn better team, but they failed to out play the locals last night. It was sim ply another case of where the best team won. It was a glorious victory for the locals and the crowd went wild when the game ended giving Birmingham the long end of the count.
 Summary and lineup: Birmingham, McGowan and Brazelton, forwards; Robertson, center; Seals and Gillian, guards; Atlanta Forbes and Graves, forwards; Dubard, center; Ed Carter and Weaver, guards.

COLUMBUS HANDED ROUGH DEAL SAYS COACH HOPPER
Played on Low Floor With No Out of BOunds-Had Poor Referee Also, Says
 Y. M. c. A. Director

Our game with the Columbus, Ga., Basketball team was about the toughest piece of work that I have seen since view ins tie professional game in the Pennsyl- vand district" said Physical Director Hoffer of the ''Y'' last night.
 Not by way of an alibi, for the Colum- bus team is recognized over the south as clean passing and accurate shooting team of years standing, but in justice to our team, which played an aggressive game throughout, and with effectiveness under adverse conditions, as is shown by the fact that the boys scored IS points on field goals out of g points made, sim pie statement of the conditions that con- tributed to our defeat will be of interest to the supporters of the team
 We pass over the floor conditions, al- though the Columbus team absolutely re- fused to yield an inch in the matter of ground rules, and with the crowd sitting up to the court lines, and no out of bounds, our boys had a hard situation to handle.
 'The work of Dozier as referee was decidedly poor and responsible directly for the excessive score marked against us. But four personal fouls were called in the entire game on both teams-three of these on Columbus and one on Bir- mingham. Strupper, who scored by far the most of Columbus points, was partic- ularly fragrant, fouling almost continual ly, although there seemed to be studied policy of playing the man and then get ting away with the whole team.
 The spirit as well as the letter of the new rules was quite generally ignored.
 Our men are coached to play clean. wholesome ball, and were unable. on the small floor, smaller than our own Gen. tral High floor to get clear, and our nine field goals were decidedly earned.
 We have return game with Columbus on our floor Monday, February ', at which time basketball fans will see basketball game, regardless of which team takes the heavy end of the score.'
