Wildcat and Tiger
 Meet in Basketball
 Encounter Tonight
PROBABLE LINEUP
By CAREY WILLIAMS

Athens Ca. January 13.--(Special.) The Terrible Tiger from the Plains is poinr to invade the Classic City Fri day night. The Tiger is dangerous heast. For the first time since that historic. day in Columbus last October the Bulldog is going to meet the Tiger.
 All indications from our pet Ouija hoard has it that the fracas is going to be an animal affair. The Tiger roar ing for blood and revenge, IS going
 to meet the growing and determined
 Bulldog.
 No matter whether it be in checkers,
 rpker. tennis billiards or golf - it's
 always classic when Auburn meets
 Georgia. And no matter which team
 wins-the Blue and Gold and the Red
 and Blacks always celebrate the vic
 tory together.
 Georgia has a hard nut to crack in
 the invading Tigers. Mike Donahues bows are a combination of nitro-gly-
 cerine and T. N T. The team that Will lineup against the Red and Black Fri day night will be veteran aggrega-
 ton.
 Coach Stegeman has been working his boys at a great clip of speed The Georgians have put in their best prac- tice in preparation for this conflict and when the referees whistle sounds on this eventful evening the Red and Black quintet will take the floor in the pink of condition--every cog in the
 machine rotating with the perfection of a well-organized piece of machinery. The Tigers "ace" is Hub Hahn at forward. This boy rates at the tip top among southern basketeers. He has a wicked eye in tossing the ball through the basket, and the Geoergia guards will not have picnic in keep ing MT. Hahn and his team mate. MT.
 Parks, from raising an unpleasant dis turbance.
 But observing the prospects of viz tory from a Georgia standpoint. MT. Wade and MT. McFadden of the Tiger clan will have all of the trouble-and more too that they sSsire in giving their undivided attention to MT. Ander- son and Mir Rawson of the Bulldog five As the usual thing it takes about Is guards to keep MT. Anderson from getting familiar and personal with the basket It is very often that the op- posing five accuses the Georgia for- ward of having springs in his feet. Buck" Cheeves, the frey little lead CT of the Bulldogs, seems to be all over the floor at one time. In fact, tho Atlanta boy is in so many places at one time that the opposing team gem
 orally takes out several minutes of time to determine whether he is twins or not.
 The followers of the Red and Black
 belinve that the Georgians will dine
 on Tiger meat FridAy night-though
 they all admit that It is a rather hard kind of food to digest

CRIMSONS READY FOR HOWARD GAME

University, January 1S.-(SpeciaL)- Everything is in readiness in the Crim- son camp for the entertaining Of the Howard basSeteers. Coach Bernier sent two teams of irst-squad men through tight 30-minute scrmmage with the stall wart white jersey crew, an outfit made up Of tall men from Ken Scott's gridiron squad The pace set by the first five was hard to keep up with. They made the white squad look at the score board and weep as the score mounted to 23 Tn exactly IA minutes of play. The pony squad relieved a this juncture and start cd a ragged brand of work, but soon they got oiled up, and from then on the boy hanging up the markers was kept busy. Another 1S-pont score was hung up in 15 minutes of play. At this pace the team would be going at better than point a minute. However the white jersey team cannot be compared with a visiting outfit The defense was better than previous practice, and only points could be chalked up for the losers. Big Boy Baker and Blank of football fame stood the brunt of the work.
 The first game with Howard will be called promptly at 7:30. Two snappy boxing matches will be held between halves. The feature bout being between Battling Baty and Mauling Merritt. Seats go on sale at Bickleys

MAXWELL ALLEN IS A
 GOOD LOOKING PROSPECT

Harwell Allen, who is the selfsame young Howard college student who writes dope" for the Age Herald, Is a mighty nice looking prospect for the boxing team this season, says Tommy Tompkins. Here's what Tommy says about Allen:
 Young Allen is mighty good look ing prospect to me. He is 1254 pounder and is fairly fast, and ,an hit hard. Of course, he has lots to learn. but he has the essentials of d good boxer
 Allen is lanky, wiry youngster, who is hard as nails, despite his youth. With bit of attention. he should develop into a winner this sea- son. I am looking for great things from him during the southern tourna- ment this spring.
 Harweli Allen is wise. He
 works out several times n week
 with Freddie Boorde, vcIl-kno,vn
 boxer of the E. A. C.. and he
 stands up under the piie-driviMs
 punches of Freddie. Allen seems
 to be learning fast.

Howard Is Sending q Light Team Down
 10 Alabama Today
Fly MAXWELL ALLEN

Coach Marshall and his Howard pas- ketball quintet leave today for Tusca- loosa, where they will do battle against the Crimson warriors of Alabama to- night and Saturday night. The team that Howard is sending against the Alabama five today is the bunch which will prob ably do battle for the Bulldogs for the remainder of this season
 The squad as 1t now stands is as fol- lows: Captain Afford and Gaylord guards; Blackwelder (manager) and Rob- duson, forward: McCullough center, Bili Wright and w. K. Newman are sub for ward and guard, respectively
 This team IS one of the lightest hVes that Howard has ever put out, and as whole it is fairly green. Another thing, none of the boys have played together up until two weeks ago, and consequent ly they yet lack the team work that a well-oiled five should possesN Alford' who is now playing his second year with the Bulldogs, is now the Howard main stay at guard, but if he keeps on play

 Towards forwards Blackwelder and

Only temporarily discouraged py their defeat at the hands of their greatest rivals, Atlanta Athletic club. the Clubbers are working enthusias- tically for their game with the Nash vile Knights which Is scheduled for tomorrow night, and will be played on the Birmingham Athletic club gym floor.
 Of course the blues" seized the camp of the local aggregation follow ing the defeat last Saturdays but after 2 little time had elapsed and after Coach Hutsell had reminded his men that they will have another chance at the Atlantans, good spirits once more found their way to the Clubbers.
 NO "SET-UP"
 Although the prowess of the Knights lis not known to local fans, the Club bers are not meeting an easy foe, for the Nashville quint is said to be one of the strongest in Dixie.
 A bit of history is connected with the description of the Nashville five. The entire team has been playing to- gether for five years and up unsil the present season played under the .olors of the Nashville Boys club. Now the players have withdrawn from the club basketball roster and are playing games under their own name. the Nashville Knights. The men started playing together as youngsters. Last lseason they defeated all corners. The fine record of 1920 is well known to followers of the basketball game. The Knights have not lost a single game this year, although they nave played such teams as Baylor dniver- sity of Waco, Texas and Bryson col llege, a strong Tennessee team. The Knights have a trio of splendid forwards in Hallaran, Burns and Ro- per. All three are passers and shoot CTS.
