HUTSELLITES HAVE, LITTLE FEAR AS TO
 OUTCOME OF GAME
Joe Beans Crew, While Not Exactly Scared, Is Almost
 Afraid

Coach Hutsell announces that his Clubbers are in excellent shape for the
 "all-important" basketball game with
 the Atlanta Athletic clubNhere Satur-
 day night, and that the locals may be
 counted upon to give their visiting rivals one whale of a battle before the verdict is rendered
 It will be the timeworn case If an under dog" turning on it's tormentor and doing it's best to exterminate the bully. when the Clubbers clash with Atlanta. For some reason qeite un- explainable to local bugs Atlanta usu> ally has the edge On the locals when the two meet in basketball battle.
 Last year, for instance, the Cluobers | lost both games to Atlanta, the one here. and the one there. Neither game was lost without struggle, though | and Joe Bean's boys knew that they had been in scrap after they had l finally carried off the bacon.
 DOWN WITH ATLANTA" I Coach Hutsell confided to us short time ago that he had adopted as his Kew Years resolution this slogan Beat Atlanta at anything and ev4ry- | $. quite a nifty little slogan, we should
 say, and it's worthy one. The more <, beatings Birmingham gives Atlanta the better the majority of us like 1t. 1 Hutsell has seized upon the ap- i preaching basketball game as an ax- cellent opportunity to put his new
 slogan to the test, and he has been
 making all arrangements towards that
 end. If the Clubbers don't win that
 game Saturday. it will be because a
 better team won, for the Clubbers will ] be in the pink of condition when they
 meet their Windy City rivals, and will | have no alibi in case of defeat. JOE BEAN USING SAME 1 However--a great big, long how, Iever-it must not be supposed that Joe Bean and Al Doenan, high moguls of the Atlanta A. C., are resting on ;heir laures won last year and have bero:ne ,imbued with the idea that Slagtovn
 product can't lick an Atlanta repre- sentative. Victories of our local loX- | CTS over some of Atlanta's best have knocked those foolish ideas out ef the 1 beans of the Windy City chaps. If ad- vance reports may be relied upon at all, Joe Bean is a busy man these days Itryng to instiil a little more basket ball into the noodles of his charges Ithan is already crammed there "Crammed" is good word, for if any southern quintet knows basketball from the court to the ceiling lights those Atlanta chaps do, even if we GO hate to admit it.
 1 Joe Bean will bring a goal-shooting ng bunch Of things along with him when he visits Birmingham this week. These lgoal shooters are not entirely bull l shooters and lug around quite a bit of court lace, ability fight and accuracy with them. But chief of all the com : lmodities carried by the Atlantans is a good healthy desire to lick Hutsells charges and an equally as strong be> lief that they can do so. Oh, man; il wlli be battle royal!
