Howard College Co-Eds Are Game, But 0utCIaSSed by

In one of the hardest fought and toughest games ever played on the r. M. c. A. court the Central college girls defeated the Howard co-ed five by murderous count of 56 to g. The Howard girls had a good team and fought valiantly at every turn, but they were almost powerless against the attack launched by the Central ties at the very start of the game. No girls team that ever performed in Birmingham has shown ability equal to that of this bunch of feminine huskies from Tuscaloosa, and from the way they played last night they are better than q good many of the boys teams that have performed around here. The Central girls were not only fast on both the defensive and the offensive, but they were a tough team and were able to rough it at all times. However, even with the rough stuff, they played d good game and showed some good sports manship.
 Miss Vaughan was the brightest light of the Central attack, making 20 points and playing a good game on the defensive. She was fast in get ting around the court and looks Ike one of the best fair players that ever performed in Birmingham. She was not alone in starring however, as Misses Painter and Rice also played good games. On the defensive Miss Draper did the big share of the work for the Central team. and many times she kept the Bulldogs from scoring with guarding that was spectacular.
 Thelma Stacy Stars
 The big part of the laurels for the team go to Thelma Stacy, coach and captain of Howard, who is one of the best and gamcst little players that ever performed on girls team. She was slammed about quite a bit by her bigger opponents, but she never gave up, and played the best game on the Howard team, both on the defensive and the offensive. Ethel Clark also did some good work. scoring one ot Towards four field goals and keeping the Central team from scoring on numerous occasions
 The defensive honors go to Miss Hagood, who played the best defen- sive game of any one on the floor. The Central girls moved fast, but they never moved too fast for this little guard, and she kept them working hard to score. Miss Waggoner played a good game on the defensive, too, and with these two guards on the team the Howard girls have one of d set of guards that should be able to keep any team worried to score.
 Co-eds Have Promise
 This k the first coed team that Howard has ever had. and, even though beaten. the girls all played good game, and are looking forward to successful season this year. They have the material and if they just inn prove some on their passing game, they should give any team q good battle. The lineup: Howard (9) Position. Central (56) Stacy CD ............ J.
