 CLUB TEAM SATURDAY

The Auburn Tigers come to Btrmlng- 2 ham Saturday to meet the club basket ball five in the return game. The locals will spend this week conditioning for the clash with the Tigers.
 The Aupurn quintet has defeated the majority of it's opponents. and won the first clash with the Clubbers. The game Saturday night should be good one, as both quntets are primed for the meeting, and each is after the others top locks
 The Clubbers were greatly handicapped in the A. & NJ. game by the lack of q guard. Since Tink Gillam was injured, Coach Hutsell has been having hard time filling the vacant guard. As Ilhh will not be in condition for the Auburn clash, Hutsell must scout around anu hunt up a new guard to work "lth Laughlinhouse.
 Chisholm or Moughon will be trained to hold down links position Neither ot these two players have had experience at guard. but with a week of practice and training, FTutsell expects that they wiii be able 10 round into good form to go in against Auburn quintet.

Curing Onions in Field

Onions are sometimes allowed to cure in windrows in the field, and if the weather is clear. yellow and red varieties can be handled successfully in this nan ner It is preferable, however, to place them ii, slated crates soon after topping and pile in open sheds or in stacks m the field. In the latter case the plies should be covered with temorary roofs for protection from rain. Exposure or white varieties to damp weather in the field will almost invariably prove fatai, and they should be placed in curing shed, where advantage can be taken or clear weather and protection can be gwen during rainy periods.
