 BEATEN INV CLOSE
 GAME BY CENTRAL
Tuscaloosa LasSies Cop Con- test at Y. M. C. A. By Two
 Point Margin
Fly HEN GREEN

In very exciting and rather rough ly played contest the heavy Central college quintet from Tuscaloosa de- feated the fast but very light Bir- mingham Southern Coed five by the close score of ' to > The game was exciting from first to last, the result being in doubt until the last wh .stle was blown. The visitors outweighed the locals at least 20 pounds to the (wo)man and this was the principal factor in their triumph Both feamS worked >the five-glrl defense we'll and good guarding was in evidence almost all the time
 The first quarter was a toss-up. with the Sunshine Slope lassies having the edge. making one foul goal. The ball was in Central's territory most of the time, but they were so closely guarded that they did not get single open shot. The second period ended with out another point being counted up by either aggregation, the play being mostly in the center of the court. The Arts half ended to in Birming ham-Southern's favor.
 BEGIN TO SCORE
 Both teams turned loose their SCOT ing wings in the third quarter and copped quartet of points for each set of~contestants. Mss Vaughn Of the visitors plunked one in fro.A out of the 15-foot line and her teammate Miss " Planter, shot a duo of fouls for the other two. Miss Thelma Stacey dropped one through the net ting for two for her team, and Miss Anna Lapage duplicated the feat, mak- ing it four counters for the third stanza of the game During the lat ter quarter, the invaders missed many easy shots, but Miss Vaughn dropped in another one of the practically i'm possible variety, getting her team in the lead Miss w. Plantcr again copped one of the chicken variety and made the final count 2 to 5.
 STARS OF GAME
 The stars of the game for the visl- tors were Miss Red Vaughn, sister of Big Red" Vaughn, who is captain of the Tuscaloosa High school team Miss V Pantes, who shot three foul goals out of four attempts, and both guards. Miss Vaughn did not have much chance to demonstrate he, shooting ability but was there witf the goods when the time came. She missed several hard luck shots also Miss V. Planter. besides shooting three points, ran the floor well, following the ball like hawk.
 The Planter sisters at guards kep' the ball in their opponents territory and fought all the time. This pail work very we'll together. This pail the ball with great regularity. Mis-. Warren, at the pivot position, alss played well.
 For the losers. Mss Anna Lapagt and Miss Thelma Stacey were ths shinirg lights.

J. KIRKlNAN JACKSON ELECTED
 SECRETARY OF BILLIARD BODY

When the Alabama Billiard associa- ton was organized in Birmingham some time ago, with the primary object Of cleansing this great indoor game of the many unpleasant and undesirable fea- lures now connected with it, local man was elected secretary and treasurer of the body, J. Kirkman Jackson.
 The Alabama Billiard association is a new thing in this state. The game or billiards was first originated as a pas- time to be indulged in by gentlemen for an hour or so of amusement. Under latter day influences. it has degenerated into a gaming medium, not universally, but to large extent, say the officers of the new association. It was for the purpose of cleansing the game of this un- desirable feature that the Alabama Bill Hard association was organized.
 WILL HAVE MEETING
 A meeting will be held soon, probably fin Birmingham, at which definite action will be decided upon. As present plans now have it, owners of billiard and pool parlors will be secured as members of the association and a set of rules will probably be drawn up by which a billiard parlor should be conducted Those own CTS who are members of the association will then be requested to conduct thelr parlors under these rules
 The rules which will be considered will probably deal with matter concerning eradication of gambling, drinking, swear -fng and kindred vices by the patrons or billiard parlors under the management of association members.
 TO CLENSE GAME
 ssWesfntend to restore the game of bil- lizards to it's former place in the esteem lpf the public.'' stated Secretary Jackson. 11ns game was originated for gentle .men and we intend to do our best to see

CENTRAL QUINTET
 WALKS ALL OVER
 TUSCALOOSA FIVE
Local Team Defeats Kau|ton Y.>M. C. A. In Roughly
 Played Game
BY BEN GREEN

In roughly played and rather unln- teresting game, the Central five walked through the Kaulton Y. M. C. A. quintet from Tuscaloosa, defeating them by iS to 19 score. The feature of the contest was the great foul shooting of William Upchurch for the losers. This man shot II fou1 goals out of IF tries. In the first half, after missing the first one, he shot seven consecutive goals and continued for three more tries in the second pe- riod, making a total of 10 straight foul goals This is the best that has been seen in Birmingham in long time, ana that includes the Atlanta Athletic club and numerous college games.
 Aside from the good foul shooting, the game was marked by the roughness of both teams, especially the locals. At first the visitors led in this department but in the second half the 'Crimsons committed many personals. farrell was the only man. to go through the entire game without a personal foul against him. The passing of the Centfalites was good, hardly ever being stopped by the Tuscaloosa guards In the first half they were not up to their usual form in shooting. but after awhile they got warmed up to their work.
