STELLAR WORK OF
 LEWIS MORRISON GREAT FACTOR
Superior Pass Work Undoubt- edly Won Game for Gate
 City Quintet

Atlanta Athletic cup DaSketDalls ptay - CTS demonstrated to a crowded house of local followers of the game last night just exactly how they have won the southern cage championship for three :, consecutive years and how they expect ato cop off these honors again this sea- son. When the final reckoning was made, Atlanta was some 15 points to the good winning the game fl to 26.
 There was too much Lewis Morrison on the floor last night. The crack Att lanta pivot man demonstrated that he is the pivot of the team in more sense than one. For one thing, he was in the middle of every play, tho starting and receiving end of long series of perfect passes for field goals and the center of the defensive play which completely broke up the attack of the Clubbers.
 There were too many Atlanta players on the gym floor last night for the fClubbers to win. Pass work by the local crew was almost impossible, as Atlanta men were forever and continually in the way when an attempt was made by the locals to pass the ball more than the shortest of distances.
 20 ATLANTA'S PASSING GOOD
 On the other hand, Atlanta's teamwork and passing ability was splendid. The crack five from the Gate City completely swept the LOCALS OH Lnelr leSt ny tHei aerial attack, which, by the way, must ,saot be misunderstood as a football term, for in describing their attack as aerRl SIhe writer believes that he is as near Correct as possible
 @ Coach Hutsell's Clubbers were not sw eaklings, however, although it must be %admitted that they were outclassed It was only after some severe scrapping on the part of the locals that Atlanta fin ally emerged victorious.
 In the first half, the Clubbers held the %Atlantans to 15 points, scoring Il them selves. It was only towards the middle of the second half that Coach Beans girnen began to run away with the locals and to pile up their ultimate 15-point advantage over Hutsells men.
 MORRISON WHOLE SHOW sSAs said above, Lewis Morrison was all sfnost the whole show for Atlanta His fwork was simply superb. After the jump, Morrison would usually manage to get his hands on the ball Long, low passes would result, the ball being thrown from Zone open Atlanta player to the other. sI sually three such passes were enough to get the ball under the basket, when a field goal would result or the shot xwould be missed by a narrow margin kIsightecn of these attempts were success Wul, although, of course, many more Shots than that failed to result in goal OTT1SOH WdS lne HlSHeSl punt SSOiCi 8of the night, ringing up eight field goals for ts points.
 Captain Westmoreland was the next highest point scorer for Atlanta, with Il points.
 x GiIlie Chisholm led the Club scorers, Swith 10 points. Floyd and Bryan com pieted the scoring of the Clubbers with four field goals each
 FLOYD HAD HARD LUCK & Two of Floyds field goals were from long distance. Without detracting one bit from the glory of victory that be- 3ongs to the Atlantans, it might be said There that Floyd had about the hardest luck on his shots of any player seen here this season. Although it is ex- 4renlely doubtful that the ultimate re- suit of the game would have been any different, had Floyd gotten some of the fieled goals that should have resulted from some of his hard luck shots, the xfinal score of the Clubbers would have slgsen much higher than it was.
 Tie Atlanta guards, Sullivan, Oliver and ,'raves, played in jamup fashion, 5breakin.S up almost every play started down the court by the Clubbers. It was sonly from shots a distance away from the baskets that the locals could score with any d. gree of consistency. M Clern Lau. .yhlinhouse local guard, played. hard, fighting game. while Smith, also guard played more of an offensive game, 'buA, just as effective, nevertheless.
