Walter FAIRIES had just scored another
touched goal and the Penn swimmers
were leading. According to the Red

goal. The only trouble with 1t was that
Referee Carrow wouldn't allow it.

That verdict was entirely too much
for Captain Murdoch. and he hailed his
teammates from their watery positions

Carrow's decisions in the hot showers.
Penn refused to continue even to the
end of the first half, which had only
twenty seconds to live.
In the first half minute Columbia
scored a thrown goal and Penn fol-
lowed with thrown goal by Haldeman
which the referee called illegal and
wouldn't allow.
Columbia came through with the same
sort of goal, and it was permitted
in the scoring. Then Walter FAIRIES
swung into action. He touched the
rubber ball against the goal boards
twice. 1t may seem strange, but Faries's
first touch was allowed.

SECOND TEAM

The annual selection of an all-star
American basketball league becomes nee
essary at this time. The board of gov
ernors each year announce their selec-
tions. and their choices will be made
known after meeting tomorrow night. In
the meantime. we have gone over the
season carefully and picked an all-star
/ first and second team club. 1t remains
TO be seen how close these selections
compare with those of the board of gov
erncrs
Players participating in nearly all the
games for the year were consider ed

70 be placed, although Haggerty ian led
the center post, as he would have un-
doubtedly remained with the Saints had
he not jDined the Steel Workers. OF
course, Tommy Dunleavy would have
been given a position. but he has only
taken part in five games.
Selection Of Guards
Th selection of guards is decidedly
easy matter when It is compared to
picking the forwards, as there are few
real defense men In tho American League.
George Haggerty draws the center as
sgEment as he is the peer of pivot men.
The improvement in his playing this sea-
son is remarkable. He has learned how
to shoot, and as he invariably gets the
tap, the club that signs him next year
| will be fortunate.
Liz" Powell, of Hancock. and Billy
Black. Of Yours Truly. are apparently
the logical forward choices, although
Dunleavy would oust either had he been
playing all year. Both men play a good
passing game and are Al team workers
/ Powell is at his best when hard pressed
Coming down the floor with two or threS
on his heels and even being thrown vio-
lently into the net, he generally scores
but on the easiest kind of a sucker shot
he time and again misses. Powell ranked
second IN the league for assists. Billy
Black stands out as the best developed
product Of the American League season
Brown Wins Place
Jimmy Brown, captain of the Saints
is the only player in the champions line
up TO be placed on the first team.
He stands out as the foremost playel
in the league. He tops the list in field
goals and assists and is the best back

Judging from the countless prepara- tions and treatments which are contln- uauv being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms. neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. ,
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing that will supply this deficiency so we'll as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by Letaws Pharmacy in Birmingham and most all druggists under A guarantee of satisfaction or money back By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food clements, phosphate quickly the appearance: the increase in weight frequently being astonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries with 1t a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, duh eyes become bright, and pale checks glow with the bloom of perfect health.

GENEROUS AID GIVEN IN FURNISHING
 ENTERTAINMENTS TO MEN IN UNIFORM
uv pATRIoTIC PATRICIA

Anniston, February 1.-(Special)-All of the towns near Camp Mcclellan are lend ing hearty cooperation to the war camp community service in their efforts to furnish interesting entertainments to the men in uniform.
 Big Birmingham always does things in a big way. Talent from the Magis City furnishes entertainment three days out of every week. On Sunday Birmingham ar lists appear to packed houses al the Ly- ric theatre, where the weekly commun- ity sings are held. On Sunday evennig they entertain the throngs of khaki-clad visitors at the soldiers recreation room in the red circle building in Anniston, and on Thursday and Friday evenings give two concerts on each evennig at the Young Mems Christian association huts at camp. The soldiers frequently express great appreciation of the interest of the Birmingham folk, who have, since the es- tablishment of the cantonment, responded generously to every call for service. The announcement that Birmingham guests will appear at camp always brings a full, enthusiastic audience. The Magic City ie ever hailed with eager delight by the soldiers who always come back with blowing reports of the cordial hospitai- ty extended them during a visit there.
 Miss Sara Mallam is chairman of the entertainment committee of Birmingham, appointed by the war camp community service. She is ably assisted by Mrs. J. w. Adams, Mrs. T. L. Bissel. Mrs. w. n. Smith and Miss Elizabeth Dickinson.
 Jacksonville contributes two pro- grammes at camp on Monday evening and Gadsden two on Tuesday evening. Last week Atlanta sent over coterie
