HUTSELL'S MEN TOI
 HAVE TROUBLE IN| GAME WITH AGGIES|
Maroon Quintet Comes to Bir- mingham Today With Great
 Record Behind It
PROBABLE LINEUP


 Hutselps Clubbers will probably have their work cut out for them to- night, when they clash with the bas- keteers of Mississippi A. & M. The Aggies have proven their worth this season by defeating some of the strongest teams in the south, among them the Universities of Mississippi and Alabama
 Coach. Chadwick's men have the rep utation of being one of the hardest bunch of fighters in Dixie. Not until the last minute has past do they con- cede the victory to stronger foe. This fact may cause the Clubbers trouble, for the locals have shown tendency lately to play their best in the first half of their games. slowing up in the latter period If this bad habit shows up tonight, the Aggies stand a good chance to win the game, for they are stickers to the last, taking advantage of every opportunity to win which of- fers itself
 MAROONS ARE STRONG
 Tn defeating the University of Ala hama the Maroons plainly showed their strength. for Coach Berniers Crimson Alabamians are considered one of the strongest quintets in the south. Ala bama defeated the Ciubbers in the first game between the two. The second game between the E. A. c. and uni- vers!ty will be staged here next Tues day.
 Coach Hutselrs men have been con tinuiuS their steady work and are in good shape for the game tonight. The Cluhbcrs seem to have hit their stride at iasi, for their pass work and accuracy m shooting have improved considerably over the work during the First few games of the season. Hut seiiS c2Eesters are playing good has, ketbail these days and, provided they avoid that fatal final half let-up, should give Chadwicl5's Aggies terrific bat tie tonight.
 'TIrngry" Floyd has been going good lately, while Chisholm has been shoot ing 'em in with considerable accuracy during the past few games. High Pockets" Bryan has gotten every joint of his lean and lanlsy form into shape and has been playing one of the bsst pivot games of any center in the south. And, by the way. the Aggies center, Morris. is said to be a regular terror at basketball. The little duel tetween him and Bryan tonight should be an interesting sidelight on the game.
 CLASSY GUARDS
 Smith and Laughlinhouse have prov en the class of the field of guards at the B.. c. and are still holding down their varsity positions. With Smith running the floor and Laughlinhouse guarding the basket, the guarding de- partment of the Clubbers has proven one of the strongest combinations in the south. Atlanta A. C.'s forwards as well as those of Auburn, considered among the best in Dixie. have been held to lower score by the Clubbers than any other quintet played this season.
