The way things now look, Birmingham will get the Central-Knoxville basketball game for what is said to be the southern championship. If the present plans of those in charge of arrangements for this game carry, the two crack cage teams will mix matters at the B. A. c. Satur- day night, the game beginning at S:SC clock.
 After a closer second inspection Of
 his squad, Coach Meyers found that
 the injuries of some of his players,
 while bad, are not as serious as 1t
 was first thought. With little
 coaching the Crimsons should be able
 to round into excellent shape for the
 game Saturday night, it is thought.
 Very little time for training exists be- tween now and Saturday night, so Coach Meyers had his players out for a work out yesterday. The alleged cripples went through their paces in good fashion, but, of course, couldn't show up to top form after what they went through last week, the state championship tournament. However, if the more serious of the in- juries to the Crimson's players respond to treatment, the local youngsters should be able to make things interesting to teresting, in fact
 Parties behind the Central-Knoxville game stated yesterday that the event seems sure of being staged. Time of the game was announced unofficially as S:3G o'clock Saturday night. Official confirm ation of this announcement is expected today.
 It was also stated by parties in @
 position to be in on the "know" that,
 if the local school wins the game
 here Saturday, Central will meet
 Berry school of Rome. Ga, said to
 have a strong claim on the Georgia
 prep title. This latter game, if
 staged, will take place in Birming
 ham.
 It is certain that basketball fans o1 this city are pulling for these champion ship games strong and will support tht events should they take place.
