CENTRAL TO MEET
 ALLIANCE QUINTET HERE ON JAN. $
New System of Basketball Being Taught Crimson
 Cage Outfit

Central High schools 1920-21 bas- ketball champions of Alabama will play their first cage game of the present season on January S. when they encounter the Alliance quintet here on that date. The court on which this game will be played has not yet been selected, but it is prob able that the game will be played at the Athletic club on the afternoon of January 6, week from Friday.
 In the absence of Coach Gil Meyers who is away for the Christmas holi- days. the Crimsons have been work ing out daily under the leadership of Captain Ace" Anderson, who sends the squad through a work out at the B. A. C. each morning.
 The team has been lining up as follows Anderson and McRoberts forwards; Moore. center; Mills and Moore, guards. There has been prac- tically no scrimmaglng, as Coach Meyers program this season calls for an entirely new system of basket ball, 9 system probably never used in Birmingham before.
 Meyers men are being taught to play the floor, and not the ball That is, the different plays given them call for each man to be in a certain position, and the ball to be thrown to that position. This sys- tenn should work to perfection, if the Crimson huskies can be properly drilled to be on the spot when ex- pected, so reasons Coach Sandy Meyers.
 Of course. the crimsons are being taught to follow the ball but each man on the varsity knows his posi- tion and just what is expected Of him.
 Central High school has turned out championship basketball tea<s dur ing the past few years, and this year the Crimsons are expecting to repeat their stunt of last season, when they copped the championship tournament staged under the aus pices of the B. A. c.
 Coach Meyers will return in a few days. when he will take over the squad and round 1t into shape for the game with Alliance High.

YOST'S IDEA OF A
 WELL BUILT GRIDDER

Detroit, December 2S.-Ffeld- ing (Hurry Up) Yost, NIichigan's great coach, was asked after the recent season what he considered the ideal build for n football player.
 ."From the ears up," he replied, and the little bunch of critics and grid enthusiasts around him ap- plnuded.
 Yost is not alone in this stand for n majority of the modern football coaches demand quick and accurate thinking above beef and brewn. and the little fellow stands almost as much chance in the great game as the big ones, that is, if he knows how to use his head.

THE SHRINE OF GOLF

by the visitors and general public who play on the course. It belongs to the Royal and Ancient Golf club, and can only be used by visitors to whom members grant cards of ad- mission.
 The right to use the word Royal was given to the club in 1884 The members of the club are among the most prominent golfers of Scotland. The late King Edward, when Prince of Wales. belonged to the club, or rather became patron of the club, and was elected it's captain
 An Interesting Collection
 In the Royal and Ancient club house is to be found the most in- | teresting collection of golf clubs in the world. A history of the game could almost be made from those silent witnesses of past sport. Rude l indeed, were the first beginnings. shown by awkward club and feather 1 balls. No doubt some of the most 1 cherished clubs of the present will at some time join the back numbers of that collection and the sight of l them will show how far golf has 1 travelled. It is long distance be- tween the feather stuffed ball to the swift flying rubber-c core, and long 1 space of solid gutta perchas is in 1 between
 One thing that strikes the Ameri- can new to British ways is the Brit ish caddie and perhaps he is more typical at St. Andrews than else where. Here in America carrying is done by boys; there it is done mostly by middle-aged and elderly men. With many of them it has been q lifework.
 | - " Interpretation of Rules
 The great office and great service of the Royal and Ancient Golf clul lis the interpretation of the rules by the rules of golf committee. which is composed of 15 members of the Roya | and Ancient Golf club.
 One of the resolutions adopted al a general meeting of the club ex. plains the functions and power of tho committee as follows:
 l 2. The powers of the committed shall be limited to dealing with pro, posalsl relating to, or questions of interpretation arising on the rule: and customs of the game of golf l On all questions of interpretation o the rules they shall be the final au.
 thority.
 This means big honor and bis l responsibility.

Sewanee, Tenn, December 2s.- ial)-sewanee 1922 football schedule has been announced here, showing the Tigers undertaking one of their most ambitious schedules in years After one practice game the Tigers will meet the University of Pennsylvania, the game to be played in Philadelphia on October T.
 Then will come Oglethrope. Ala bama and Kentucky State in order For November 4 Harvard offered Se- vance a game, but the Tigers had accepted a game with South Carolina for that date. and the Harvard offer had to be turned down.

 Birmingham Southern is coming to the mountains for game on Noyem Der II. The respect which the Tigers have for the strength of the Panthers can best be judged by the fact that the date with the Birmingham school was set so late in the season.

BUBBLES QUICK
 THINKING SAVED GAMES FOR TEAM
Harvard's Great Little Guar terback Used His Head
 At All Times

New York, December 2S.-(Special) Ever since the 1921 football season became history tales of the quick thinking of little Charlie Buell., quar- terback of the Harvard Crimsons have been leaking out, showing this little general to be one of the most underestimated players of the season
 On three different occasions quick thinking by Buell. saved the game with Penn State and won from Yale when in both cases the Crimson cause seemed hopeless.
 Penn State was leading Harvard 21 to IA, late in the fourth period and the Crimson morale had been hurt by losing an early lead. Buell had worked all his plays and they were being smothered by the Penr State defense.
 Pass Saves Game
 Harvard was within striking dis tance of the State goal line, and the cause was desperate. Buell. then made up play on the spur of the moment. He called Churchill back from end and told him to get away over to the right corner of the field and wait for a forward pass. Church i'll followed instructions. The Grim son line held and Buell. tossed him the ball for a touchdown that tied the score and saved the game.
 Yale Became Careless
 The situation was almost the same in the Yale game. Harvard was trail ing back of 3 to 0 score. All dur ing the game and in all of the pre- vious games, the. frail Buell. had been making fair catches of all punts. Op- posing teams, believing that the Har- yard bench had ordered him to do II for protection, took it for granted that it was part of the noted liar ward system"
 Dashing down the field under punts only to be stopped by the up- lifted hand of the Crimson quarter back time after time. the Yale ends and forwards became careless. See ing this, Buell. used his brain.
 One of McAldrich's long, soaring punts came down into Harvard ter ritory and the Yale ends loafed. In stead of calling for fair catch, Buel grabbed the ball and ran 50 yards through a surprised Yale team to the Ellis 14-yard line. He was throwr heavily by O'Hearn and stretched out on the field The Harvard trainer rushed out, reaching for an ice pack
 Buell. Again to Rescue
 Buell. winked and whispered: Moth ing wrong. I've just thought of g play that will get touchdown damr soon."
 The Crimson lined up. Buel threatened a play around right enc and the Yale defense spread out. The great plunger, George Owen, thcr smashed straight through center eol 12 yards, and scored touchdown on the next play.
