MARION DEFEATED BY AUBURN QUINTET Coach Donahue's Aggrega- tion Licks Cadets by
 3S to IS Score

Auburn, January (SpeciaL)-W With quintet has at last rounded into form and last night trounced the husky Marion five to the tune of 3S to Il. The game was fast and snappy throughout, but at no time after the first few minutes was the final outcome in doubt. Though the Ma rion five outweighed Auburn considerably, they were completely outcassed both in passwork and in shooting. They were held to ' points till the last few minutes of play, when Coach Donahue decided to give a few of his subs a chance and Ma rion then made the additional seven points.
 The teamwork of the whole Tiger team was good and they showed up better than at any time heretofore this season. The shooting of Bridges was especially good. portunities go amiss. Charley Jones played his usual great game at guard and figured in several pretty plays.
 For Marion, Argo and Heineke were in the stellar role, though they both were slightly off form in their shooting. Will kie also put up a nice scrap.

Ingleno0k Takes Second Place-Walker's Running Counts for Victors.
 West End Third

Marred by unfavorable weather condi- tions, the second annual race Of the Older Boys council was won yesterday afternoon at East Park by the North Highland team. A record time was made in negotiating t6gEfive miles. The time yesterday was 2fz2-5, clipping two min utes off the former record.
 Probably the feature of the race was the running of Guy Walker of the North Highland With his team in the rear, he ran his half mile in excellent team and took first place from the Ingle- nook team The North Highland team held the lead for the remainder of the race.
 Inglenook put up gallant fight and would have probably won the race ex- cept for the fact that the team had one weak member.
 Despite the indictment weather, large crowd witnessed the race R. E. Mitchell of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton acted as referee.
 The West End team finished third and East Lake fourth. The downtown team was last. The Lathrop shield goes to the North Highland team for one year. Two consecutive wins makes the shield the permanent property of some district.

 Ten shoot on a team, but only the five highest scores count for record. D. E. Spencer, physical director of the Birmingham Athletic club, is official National Revolver association judge of shooting and supervises the matches.
 After staying out of the matches for the last season, T. K. Lee starts off the string with the possible score. but his usual statement that he will go through the season without miss is lacking. owing to the fact that he is practicing daily with every kind of weapon, and all styles of shooting, which naturally would tend to reduce his gen. eral average in any particular line of work.
