CENTRAL IS WINNER IN POORLY PLAYED
 CAME OVER LEEDS
Locals Show Poorly-Leeds Five Offers Stiff Battle.
 Pass Work Faulty

The Central High School basketball five easily defeated the Leeds High school team yesterday afternoon in a poorly played game before a large crowd at the Birmingham Athletic club, the final count being to IS. The game was not a good exhibition of basketball and failed to reach the standard of Central games in previous seasons.
 The passwork of both teams was ex ce eedingly poor Central failed to show the form expected and had they op- posed a more formidable team would have most likely suffered defeat. Leeds did exceedingly well consider ing the fact that it was their first game in an indoor court. The game was clean and was fast at times, but never did the two teams show an abundance of fight
 Central players fumbled frequently. Their passes were not accurate and their shooting was somewhat off color Coach Pritchard was dissatisfied with the showing of his boys and will re- sort to hard practice during the next ISW udyS lO WHlp lHtLH lHlO SOOU shape.
 Montgomery and Jones played the best game for Central The latter, a substitute last season, is being played regularly at guard this year and judg- inS from his work yesterday will be enc of the stars of the machine. Mont gomery also played well, but not up to his standard
 The weakness of the team is on guard. forward could also be inn proved upon. The team is well bal anced and will be heard from before the season comes to a close.
 DeShazo played the best game for the visitors. He made several long shots. White at center also played a good game. Their passwork was not very good but they made an excel lent showing for team from a coun- try town.
 The lineup was as follows:
 Central-Montgomer and Barks, forwards; Hahn. center; Jones and Norris, guards.

Auburn. January 6.--(Special.) Coach Donahue is not losing any time, but has started his squad of bas- keteers to work rights off the reel. Though it seems that the students are rather slow in getting back from the holidays most of the basketball play CTS have returned and are getting into the nightly scrimmages. Coach Dona- hue's task of picking out the best i've is not going to be an easy one at all, as there are about 40 men out for the team and a number of them seem to possess the earmarks of real basket ball players.
 The team Is going to be hit rather heavily by the loss of several of last years mainstays, though the new men are showing up exceptionally we'll. Captain Payne, Carter and Schomburg were lost by graduation and Steed, the big center. did not return after the holidays. The old men on hand at present are Captain Floyd, "Red" Jones and Burbage, and DuCote is ex- pected at almost any time
 There are going to be some lively scraps for positions on the first five and though the old men will have their regulations behind them to help out they are going to be hard pushed by the youngsters. At forward Captain Floyd has just about cinched his place, while the other is being fought for by Sheep Thigpers and Wallace Hall Thigpen has served two years on the scrubs, is an excellent shot and has had considerable experience. Hall is a freshman from Montgomery, where last year he played on the Y. M. c. A. and Sidney High school teams. He is little but fast is a good passer and a good shot, and fights hard all the time, seeming to realize that he has a hard job on his hands to beat an old man.
 At center there are number of tall boys on hand but they are not developing as fast as they might and it would not be surprising to see Red" Jones shifted to this position. Though somewhat handicapped by height, 1t would be difficult to- find a better man for the position. for he is the most experienced man and the best man on the squad at working the ball down the floor
 The defense Is not entirely settled yet, though Burbage a veteran of two years service. and Strickland of last years squad. are the leading contend CTS. When Ducote gets back he will these two gentlemen Then, too, there
