Walker county showed unexpected call iber last night and defeated the iChoctaw county five, 47 to 2. With team averag- ing 166 pounds to the player, the Walker ties literally walked away with the Choctaw scalps. The Walker county boys teamwork was so good that one can hardly pick individual stars for this quintet. They look like they will upset the dope on somebody before the final battles are played.
 Sparks and Brakefield, 1So-pound cen ter and forward, respectively, did the ma- jt rity of the scoring for their team and played good all-round games, especially in the floor running department. Brown and Beasley both played well at guards, keeping their opponents covered all the time. The passwork of them was very good, and the shooting. as indicated by the score, was up to the standard grade

ALLIANCE WALLOPS
 TUSCALOOSA LADS

Old Man Prediction received another setback in the last game. when the AL lance Agricultural school walloped the Tuscaloosa boys, B to A. After the first 10 minutes of play the Allies got the lead and were never headed. Their teamwork was good and, with their shooting 'irons'' in good condition. the Tuscaloosa lads could not hold them. The feature of the game was the enthu- siasm shown by the Alliance supporters, of which there were many.
 For Alliance, the Vines family natural ly absorbed the honors, having the odds three to two in their favor with three brothers on the team. It is said that two other members of this illustrious family were also brought along as substitutes. Melvin Vines, captain and forward Handbook, center and John Vines, at a sentinel post, were the outstanders, but that does not go to say the others were not good, for the fact is the contrary. The long shooting of Handbook was very good and he also showed good form at shooting fouls.

rccted the picture.
On account of this being Christmas
week the program Ia especially elabo-
rate. 1t opens with "Creation," the first
episode of the motion picture story Of
the Bible made by Sacred Pictures, Inc.
The overture Is called "The Spirit Of
Christmas Instead Of the tabloid
opera which usually forms part of the
called "Moszkowskiana. Tho Capitol
singers and dancers appear in this cycle,
which is given to interest music lovers
in the welfare of the composer who is

also is Dutch dance by the Capitol
ballet and travcl-laugh by Hy Mayer.
If anticipation is better than rcali-
zation, as everybody once said, then
"The Fox' at the Central Thcater
should be as successful as even the
makers could. wish. 1t gives promise
in the first reel, and although it does
not keep that promise until the last
reel there is always the anticipation.
Harry Carey is the star, and he wrote
the story himself. 1t rs good story,
and In the telling it sounds as though
there would be sufficient material to
interest you for an hour at least. How
ever, it seemed to us that the story
dragged out terribly in the beginning
and the part we wanted most to sec,
the bandits capturing the innocent
bank clerk and making him prisoner.
was left out entirely. We suppose it Is
necessary to keep the star before the
camera as much as possible, but why
let him do such stupid things? Now,
who could remain blind to the fact
that he was secret service man?
Surely, no one in the audience, and
only the fact that the sheriff and the
bank president and all the people in
the town had the intelligence of
morons prevented them from suspect
ing porter in q bank, who did nothing
but dust the presidents desk.
There is little boy in "The Fox"
who has nothing to do with the picture,
but who is extremely reminiscent of
Jackie Coogan in "The Kid" Probably
no one in the audience felt as we did
about the picture, for it was received
with the greatest enthusiasm. The ad-
vertisements say "You will see what
has not been seen before" and it was
evident that. yesterdays spectators
felt that way about it. There was a
great deal of gun play in the mountains
in the last reel and men falling dead
on either side aud horses going over
cliffs with their riders. only it is al
ways so difficult in an affair of this
sort to tell friend from foe. At the
psychological moments hundreds Of
horsemen appeared and they soon
routed all of the bandits.
The Black Horse Troop of the 18th
Cavalry took part in this scene, and
they staged machine gun fight which
was very thrilling, as machine gun
fights go. Harry Carey is clever

with Wilfred Pelletier at the organ.
The forid arias we're we'll sung, es-
combined smoothness with power and
seniority, while Miss Telva's voice
seemed strained at first. but less so
later on. In the first chorus. the blast
of sound was overwhelming, but the
last one was sung in a beautifully ex-
pressive, we'll blended tone.
