City League Will
Hold Big Meeting
at "Y" Wednesda,

Coach Abel has called meeting OF
the City Basketball league for
Wednesday night at. o'clock. The
purpose of this meeting Is the ar
rangement of a schedule and the
making of bylaws with which to gov
ern this years league. The pros
poets for the City league this season
are brighter than they have ever
been before. as there are more play
ers coming out for the teams and
the enthusiasm is higher among the
fans than Ii has been in the past.
Six Teams
There will be six teams in the
league this year, as there were last
year. They are Sloss- Sheffield. Y.
M. C. A., american Express. North
Birmingham community. Avondale
mills and possibly the Woodlawn
team: The ~ Sloss- Sheffield and
North Birmingham outfits were In
the league last year. but the other
teams will be newcomers. All of
them have been doing lots of prac-
tice work.. and once the schedule -
arranged things should go lively Tor

The prospects for the "Y'' turning

team. More candidates have come
out and some OF them are showing
SO much stuff that it looks like It
will be hard matter for some OF
those on last years team to land a
place on the "Y" five this season.
Coach Abel is doing most OF the
work with the team, but Harris Mo-
rierty is assisting him, and the two
together should turn out a fighting
bunch of basketball players. Abells
ability as a coach is undoubted. Mo-
rierty has been a good player in his
day and is doing good work in the
coaching department also.
If things turn out like they should

make him unanimous choice for one
of the terminals. Roberts could be
placed at almost any other position
on the team. and be worth the po-
sition.
Tackles
The tackle assignments grow bit
harder. In Skidmore and Bomar OF
Sewanee and Vanderbilt, respectively,
pair that might cause discussion
and is sure to cause dissatisfaction,
has been selected. Bomar, who played
fullback for the Commodores the
major portion of the season, was
shifted to tackle in the Georgia game,
and it was generally admitted by the
majority of those who witnessed the
Vandy- Bulldog encounter that 1t was
Bomar's sensational work at tackle
that saved the day for Vandy. In ad-
dtion, Bomar played a star defensive
game in backing up the line for the
Commodores, and 1t Is not difficult to
shift him to tackle and give him all
southern honors

be the best ends. Staten of Tech and
Mccullough of Vanderbilt appear to

Cooper of Alabama look to me to be
the best pair of tackles. The latter,

First, 1t is impossible for one man
to see in one season every important
team in action. Therefore, 1t is i'm
= possible for him to see all the stars
OF the year. Newspaper accounts OF
. games and hearsay must be relied
upon to some extent in selecting a
team. and it is probable that hardly a
team will be selected this season
which has not one or more stars in
the line-up whom the picker has not
seen in action this season.
Backneld Easy
There is only one difficulty in Sc
lecting the all-southern backheid this
season. and that is the matter of one
halfback,
DO" McMillin, incompatible field
7 general of the Centre college Pray
ing Colonies, hasn't a rival for first
quarterback honors. The versatility
of McMillin would make him eligible
for any position in the backfield, as
he can run team carry the ball,
pass or kick with equal facility.
'Bo's" place is generally conceded
him by everyone.
Likewise. Red" Barron, Tech $
great off tackle rusher and end run
ner, also gets his place without de-
muir. Barron has continued his good
work this year that last season won
him all-American mention.
Argument over Full
There might be a bit of an argu-
:ment between Harlan of Tech and
Stirling of Auburn for fullback.
Stirling hasn't been in form this sea-
son Like he was in 1920, and hasn't
made the showing that won first team
honors for him in 1920. Stirling S
best game was against Tulane.
On the other hand. Judy HARLAN,
captain of the Tech eleven, playing
his last season with the Jackets, has

Georgia and Auburn. respectively. All
three are undoubted defensive stars,
and almost impossible TO gain over,
but Sharpe Is the better passer OF
the two. and gets the call at the
snapper back position.
Day and Cation are shifted to
guards. With Sharpe at center. Day
and eaton at guards, the problem or
gaining inside tackle on this team
would be almost enough to drive the
opposing quarterback to distraction.
That completes the first all-south-
ern team of 1921, and, though un-
doubtedly there will be many, many
disag reements, the above team would
be about as hard to beat as any below
the Mason and Dixon line today.
The Second ream
The second team is made up of left
overs from discussion in selecting the
first team. The line is easy to pick,
while the backfeld offers few prob
