Stan Zbyszno to Defend
Title Against Hindu at
Athletic Club Thursday

Birmingham fandom seems anxious
to have a peek at the wonder man
of sportdom" Stanislaus Zbyszko.
: 45-year-old wrestling champion.
The king of the grapplers is sched-
uled to wrestle Gobar, the Hindu. at
the local Athletic club Thursday
night, and indications are pointing
to a crowded house, when the giant
Pole puts in his appearance here.
The career of Stan Zbysbko has
been one of romance and adventure.
From his earliest boyhood, spent III
Poland, he has been seeking the best
of adventure that life can offer, and
a. he nears old age he can look back
over his career and say to himself
Il have found it,"
Nearing his early manhood, Stan
Zbyszko sailed from Europe for the
United States. In America stan
gained quite a reputation as a wrest-
Ter, throwing them all until he met
the invincible Frank Gotch, one CT
the greatest champions the world Of
sports has ever known. 1t took Gotch
just exactly six seconds to throw
Zoyszko, and the hope of cham
pionship was lost to the big Pole
for awhile.
Several years ago Stan zbyszko re-
turned to Poland to help his country
In the great world struggle. With
Paderewsky, Zbyszko helped rule Po-
land until the crisis was passed, then
his thoughts returned to America. Ha
returned to this country a year or so
ago, and quickly won the worlds
heavyweight wrestling title by pin
ming Lewis shoulders to the mat in
two consecutive falls. Since that time
Zbyszko. has been ruling the mat
world like the monarch. the Russian
czars OF other years.
The matching of Stand and the
Hindu probably brings together the
greatest conglomeration of names
that has ever been gotten
together. AS evidence, this card of
announcement of the bout:
"Stanislaus Cyganoweizch Zbyszko
versus Patrinda Charan Goho-Gobar.
for the worlds wrestling champion
ship"
The bout between these two should
certainly decide some sort a cham
uionship, anyway.

Heisnan Explains
Bad Year at Penn,

Pittsburg, December 1s.-(special)
The athletic situation at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania was explaine
to more than 100 Penn alumni by
Coach John w. Heiseman of the Red
and Blue at a. banquet held at the
University club.
1--WE are making no alibls for our
defeats this year." said Coach Heis-
man, .'but instead are building for
next year. when we hope to make a
better showing"
Coach Heisman declared that the
material at Penn, despite the tact
that the schools enrolment is very
large. was not UP to standard for the
reason that very few OF the students
are eligible for football. The percen-
tage of athletes available for the
sport is not large, and for that reason
the squad cannot be d-awn from the
Hentire student body, as might be sup
posed. was the substance Of Mr.. Heis-
mans talk.

B. A. c. Cage Outfit
Looking Good For
the aylor Game

4 The B. A. c. basketball team will
open its season here Friday night
when they met the strong team from
Baylor university of Dallas Tex in
what is expected to be one of the
toughest games that the locals will
have this year The Baylor boys are
making a trip east of the Mississippi
for the first time in u number of sea-
sons, having confined their activities
to the western teams for the past few
( years. This year Baylor is touted as
having one of the best teams that
ever had its headquarters in the state
of Texas. so they are coming east not
i-only with the expectation OF licking
! Coach Ervins team, but they are also
! looking forward TO conqnering a few
other teams. Every man on the Bay
Tor five is a veteran. having per
formed on that team for at least two
years and if they are right when they
come to Birmingham they should be
/ able to make things hot for the local
five before the game has been under
way very long.
sure victory or anything like that,
but they are willing to bet anything
that the Baylor team will be aware of
having been in a hard game of bas-
ketball when. they get ready to de-
part from the Magic City. The 3. A.
C. ball tossers have been working out
for a long time now and all of them
are beginning to get in first class
shape and good physical condition at
least is assured when the local bows
march out to do battle against the
mighty Texans.
No Definite Lineup
AS yet, no definite lineup has
been given out by Coach Erwin, who
says that he is having the job of his
life trying to figure out the five
best men out of all the material that
he has had to choose from this year.
However, taking the past years as
basis for prediction. there are a few
men out for the team that are sure
to get In the game for time at least,
but whether they will star or not is
still uncertain. Hobo" Baker, who
has probably seen more service with
the B. A. C. five than any man out
for the team, is looking better than
ever this season, and IL he can keep
on at his present speed he ought to
make things interesting for the Bay
lor team long as he is in the game.
Highpockets Bryan, who played with
the club last year, should also get
to do some work at center. Bryan
was a mighty dependable man last
year and with the stuff that he Is
showing this year he should be
hard man to stop this season.
Glenn Laughlinhouse is another old
man on the team who ought TO go
good again this year. Last season he
was rated as the best guard seen
on the B. A. G. court, and he is per-
forming in the same style this year
that won him distinction last season.
Bill Moughon. Clement Shugerman
and Gillie Chisholm, the other veter-
ans of the team, are also looking
good for another big year
Aside from these veterans the Blue
and White aggregation also has al
bunch of new recruits, so II there is
any team in the south able to stop
the Baylor five II looks like the B.
A. c. is the team.

BOBBY ROTH LIKES
HIS RASE HITS

Like all ball players, Bobby Roth
of the New York Americans likes his
base hits.
Possibly Bob is little fonder than
the ordinary athlete. There is nc
denying that Bob hits them hard when
he connects.
Ball players have a lot of fun kid
ding him about his hitting. but never
get very far, as Bob has a keen sense
Of humor-
Here is a story that got many a
laugh last summer among the yam
KEGS 1t was pulled at the expense
of a couple of recruits, and was so
good that one of the recruits re
peated it in the clubhouse, thereby
earning for Roth the recognition the
quip merited.
As said before, Bob likes his base
hits. The bunting game never had
much of an appeal to Roth. He likes
TO take a healthy cut at the ball. In
cidentally, Roth has always had a
reputation of being a dangerous bats
man.
When an opposing field is playing
in close. Roth is a most undesirable
person a the bat. He hits them so
hard that. to use the slang OF the
ball field, HE is liable to knock you
loose from your arms"
One day last summer Bob was
walking down Broadway with a cou-
pie of youngsters. They passed a

OLYMPIC STADIUM
SITE RECOMMENDED

Paris, December 1s.-rhe stadium
where the 1924 Olympic games are to
be held viii probably be built In the
Paro des Princes, Just outside OF
Paris, between the gate of Auteuil
and the Gate Molitor, If the recon-
meudations of the commission of ex-
perts are approved by the city coun-
ell, which is to meet for this purpose
next week.
The commission which was appoint
ed by the city council to study sites
for the olympiad, suggests a great
stadium along the lines OF the Ant
werp structure, where the 1920 Olym-
pic games were held, but even larger.
The experts have practically elimi-
mated the Pershing Stadium, as in
their opinion it will cost much to
make it over as to create a lew park
necessary for the accom- odation of
the great crowds that are expected.
