 As seen from the scores, Tulane's at tack is very well developed but their de- fense is not vtry strong, their opponents having averaged 33 points per contest against 29 for the Louisiana boys. The "Greenies 7 favorte trick is to get a good lead in the first part of the game and play defensive game the latter period. The club has displayed that same habit this year, and there will prob ably be a great deal of open play in the first half Friday night.
 The Birmingham guards will have to watch Tulane's ace in, the hole," who travels by the name of Landthrop. This lad has scored nearly half of his team s points, having amassed S7 of their l7t counters. He possesses an uncanny ability of shooting fouls to a marked de- gree. having shot nearly 90 per cent Of those attempted this year. It is nothing extra for him to score seven or eight points on fouls alone, and the B. A. c. warriors will have to watch themselves, as it is doped to be a mighty close game Gill, who covers one of the guard posi- tions, slips through a few field goals in almost every encounter and will have to be watched. Both of these men are par ticularly good at long shooting. while Martin, the other forward. is 8 splendid team worker with Landthrop. A very good game is expected, and with the close of the local season soon to be here good crowd is expected to witness the match.

first victory of the season against their ancient foes.
 The Panthers will line up for battle in varsity style tonight Miller, at center, is strong passer and a good shooter He jumps well and he will give Mccullough for Howard a strong battle for honors at this position. Shorty Propst may get back in the game tonight after an absence of many weeks, but Coach Brown will hardly use him unless forced to do so. Norton and Griffin, guards, are light, but fast and shifty, passing the ball well and shooting accurately. This scoring pair should give the Bull dog guards trouble tonight.
 Candy and Saffarans to say nothing of Bagley, Evans, Richardson and a few others, make the Partners guard positions resemble stone wall in matter of endurability and strength.
 Coach Marshalrs Bulldog crew wound up a strenuous practice period yesterday afternoon with light work out at the Birmingham Athletic club. The Bulldogs are in trim for the battle tonight and, although they will prob ably be outweighed by their opponents, should put up scrap worth going miles to see.
 Mccullough. who has won many pdShcCpdli nOHOrS TOT the Bulldogs this season, will hold down his regular position at center tonight. Mac is splendid shooter when he's right and Bulldog supporters are claiming that he has been right for week or more
 LIGHT FORWARDS
 Webb and Robinson like the Panther pair, are mighty light for forwards, but they seem to be able to hold down their positions in good style. Webb has played little this season as varsity man, but during the half game he played against Gadsden ''Y" he rang up five field goals. Robinson is expected to do his share of the Bull dogs scoring tonight.
 Captain Afford and Gaylord at guards are close stickers and will make mighty try to run the Panther scorers down tonight. This pair has gotten the hang of teamwork, now and both boys are anxious to show what they can do with the commodity
 The Bulldogs are in prime shane and should force their heavier rivals to the limit before verdict is rendered.
 The game tonight will begin prompt ly at S:30 and will be played on the Athletic club court.
 Coach Gil Meyers of Central High school will referee the game,

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 SCHEDULE FOR 1921 IS SAME AS USUAL

New York, February, February 9.-The National league baseball schedule for the season of 1921, as announced today, diff fers in few respects from those of recent years. Each of the eight clubs compos- ing the league will play 154 games, 77 of which will be staged upon their home diamond and an equal number upon the fields of rival clubs. But three conflict ing dates with the American league are shown, and these occur at Chicago on May l, June 26 and September H. Each western club will invade the east three times between the opening date, lAprh l3, and the closing day of the season, October 2 The eastern teams will circle the western circuit three times during the pennant race.
 On the opening day of the schedule, Brooklyn will play at Boston, New York at Philadelphia, Pittsburg at Cincinnati and St. Louis at Chicago. Holiday, Sum day and Saturday games are fairly well distributed. Pittsburg gets the greatest number of Saturday games at home and the largest number of Sunday games abroad. Brooklyn leads in Sunday con tests at home with IS. The schedule showing the Saturday, Sunday and holi- day contests for each club, both home and abroad, follows:

Interchurch Wins
 From Boys Club
By BEN GREEN

Yesterday afternoon at the Boys club, the Interchurch Junior team defeated the Boys club Junior All-stars in a well played game by q to IS score The contest was exciting and cleanly played throughout. The refereeing of 'Foots' Lahan, Central quarterback last season. was very good, and there was practically no Kicking by either team. The first period ended to ' in the Boys club favor, but in the second half. after the count had seesawed for a while, the ln- terchurch lads got the lead and held it.
 For the winners, the shooting of Rubel and the guarding of Handbook and Chancey were the leading features The whole Southside team worked we'll to- gether and had the ball the majority of the struggle. Little John Handbook put up great exhibition at sticking guard against his heavier opponent. Rubel, the tall forward, did not get right till the second half, but then started to shoot, rather loose game at guard, but played a good, all round game.
 The Boys club leader was Mike Mez- rano, who exhibited remarkable eye for the basket. Almost all of his shots were hard ones, and one in particular was beauty. zail at guard put up a good exhibition, keeping his man covered all of the time. The close guarding of both teams was very good, but at times the shooting was not up to standard.
 The line-ups and summaries follow:
 Interchurch (2D- Braugh. (D and Rubel Q2), forwards; Lipsitz CD, center; Chancey (D and Handbook. guards.
 Boys Club (1S)--Zail @ and Sahab t5, forwards; Dill center; Mezrano (O and Gaiver (S, guards
