l The lid will be pried off the local wrestling season tomorrow night, when Harry (Rough House) Stevens, cham
 pon of Canada, meets Jack Yuska, re- gently arrived from Australia, in fin ish bout at the Birmingham Athletic i club. 1 Neither man is a member of the big i four" but both are regarded as top notch grapplers.
 Very little is known of Jack Yuska, as the Australian grapp1er has had only a few matches since his arrival in this country In the few bouts in which he has taken part though, he has made a favorable impression on the fans, it is said
 Stevens, on the other hand, is an old favorite with American mat bugs. His | rough and ready aggressive style of graphing has won the good will of many followers of the game. Stevens is said to be one of the | toughest grapplers on the mat. He has met some of the best men in the game and is a seasoned catch as catch can wrestler.
 Stevens won the title of heavyweight champion of Canada by defeating Harry Williams. Williams swrestled Joe Stecher several timeS the first match lasting nearly two hours, but the for mer worlds champion finally won in straight falls. Shortly after this match, Stevens met Williams and won two falls in less than 90 minutes, thus
 making better showing against Will Hams than did Stecher
 Stevens has been wrestling for the
 past six years and during that time has met nearly all the top notchers in the
 game. It took Ed ("Strangler') Lewis nearly two hours to beat him. This
 match was staged in Cleveland o. Lewis won with his famous headlock, and since that time Stevens has been using the headlock with considerable success. s,sssssa. Stevens is always in good condition. and for that reason can always give good account of himself, no matter how formidable an opponent he has to meet. Stevens is after a return match with
 Lewis and declares he is willing to meet
 the Strangler under any terms. < Stevens record shows he has de- feated Hansen, Ludecker, Charlie Burns,
 William Turner, Jess Westegard, Allan

'ENSLEY QUINTET IS PREPARING FOR ITS FIRST CAGE GAME

Basketball at Ensley High school is fast getting it's start, and prospects for a winning Jacket quintet seem bright. The Jackets are playing only outdoor court teams this year. and it is in this style of play that Coach Ho- water is drilling his men.
 About 20 men are reporting to Coach Hovater for practice each afternoon. This squad is composed of inexperi- enced and light men, but every one is a fighter and is willing to learn. Bas- ketball has never been very popular at Ensley High and for this reason. Coach Hovater is having harder time in getting out team than he otherwise would.
 The Jackets will open their season shortly, probably against the Colum biana outdoor court five. The team will be in shape for game in about another week.
 Ensley basketball authorities are contempla ting a northern trip for the team to take place about the first week in February, it is reported.
 The forwards are light and mex perienced, finding their greatest trou- ble in developing accuracy in their shooting.
 From the present outlook. the Jack cts win line up for their opening game in the following manner: Peck and Rosenfield, forwards; Anderson and Williams. guards; Scokel center

University, January S.-( -(Special)-Th9 University of Alabama basketball quin- tet defeated the aggregation from Biz mingham-Southern here tonight by tfss decisive score of s to 10.
 Although the game was fast through out, the Crimson players had little diff ficulty in piling up an early lead on the Birmingham boys.
 In the first half the Ala bama qu!nte5 literally played rings around their oppo- nents, keeping the ball in their territory practically the whole period In the lat ter half the Magic City players suc- eeeded in gaining the ball and keeping t Tn their territory at intervals, scoring or their 10 points in this period.
 Considerable improvement was shown by the Crimson cagemen since their last engagement, some of the rudeness which was manifested in their first encounter of the season having been well ironed out The use of quick, short passes dem onstrated that Bernier will not depend on long shots in his games. The attempt of Birmingham Southern to work mum Der of long passes was responsible for their being so conspicuously outclassed in the first round.

BASKETBALL TEAM
 AT AUBURN SEEMS
 AS STRONG AS EVER
Hahn and Barks, Local Boys, Playing Usual Good Game
 for Tigers

Auburn, January 3.-(SpeciaL)- From the interest that is being Ge- velopcd in basketball circles, it is avi- dent that Auburn will put strong toam into athletic circles this season. At least, 30 men reported to Coach Mike Donahue for practice in the gymnasium this week. and half a dozen teams are striving for su, premacy
 Auburn is fortunate in having at least five members from the senior class available as basketball mate rial men who have been on the cam for three years, and are therefore a good nucleus for varsity team. On this list are the two 'Hubbs" Ham and Barks of Birmingham who rlay forwards, and Jimmie Wade and Nc. Fadden of Montgomery, who play guards. Lacy of Mobile, who played center last year, failed to return, and interest is particularly centered upon this position.
 Moulton, of football fame. was out for the first time the other night and is being placed at center. On the -vot> ball team he played end and made an excellent reputation there. That he will do as well as center in basket> ball work goes without saying. Ans other aspirant for center is a young freshman named Harrison. who is showing up well at practice.
 At one of the practice games the other night Jack Lassiter appea red in the gymnasium. He is Auburn 8 famous first baseman on the varsity team, and lovers of basketbaH are ex- pecting him to equal his reputation at base ball.
 Auburn is scheduled to play 1hree basketball games next week. On Tuesday, January II, they will play Mercer on the college campus here at Auburn; on Friday, January II, hey will play Georgia at Athens, stopping at Atlanta on the return trip, Satur- day, January 15, to take a game with the Atlanta Athletic club.
 Mercer and, Auburn have not played in number of years, and it is not known just how strong a team the Macon college will present on this oc- casion. The game will be the first Acampus game of the season.. and the Auburn Tiger is expected to roar in triumph on Tuesday night

To say that Hugh Seals is highly pleased with the showing of his setter dog, Parmitchie Fritz in the all-age stakes of the all-Amerca field trials at Letohatchie during the past week would be putting it only mildly. Parmitchie Fritz captured second place in the all- age stake and would probably have taken first place had it not been for bit of hard luck
 While I Go not question the decision Of the judges CT try in any way to alibi the failure of my dog to capture first place" said MT. Scales. q con sider it only fair to Birmingham sports men to tell them a bit about the trials
 Parmitchie Fritz. my dog, and Pohc the winner O. the all-age, were matched against each other in the heat to decide the winner Pohc made two bevies and two singles, while Parmtchie Fritz had two bevies with one false point marked against him.
 Any dog will make false point and it is not considered so very bad for one to do so, but in this case it was not d false point. J'armitchje Fritz found a single bird, but due to some error it was marked down as a false point against him. However, I am not complaining He ran a beautiful race, and it was the general opinion among all the handlers present that he deserved first place. For my part, am thankful that he too'7 second, even though l may think he was deserving of first place honors.'

 that much better off. If we don't get
 it, then they surely won't De any worse off, for what they haven't had they won't miss
 The above statement is somewhat of a curiosity exciter. we must admit, Just what the Baronial bosses have up their sleeves will not ne known until next week, and until that time Bir- mingham fans must content themselves with speculation.
