Greenville, February S-(Special.) )--In one of the hardest fought games ever witnessed on the local court, Southern feated the reserves of Univrsity of Ala bama, g to 2S. An extra minute of play was necessary to decide the winner.
 The game was fast and snappy, with the scores of the two teams almost all ways within a point or two of each other. At no time did either team seem to have commanding lead, so hard fought and close was the battle.
 Crewe and Shores were the chief point scorers for the victors, the former with 10 points and the latter with 15. Both boys possessed an unerring eye for the basket and it was the1r good work which in a large measure accounted for the de- feat of the Crimson reserves.

FREDDIE BOORDE TO MEET MGINTY
 M SEMI-FINALS
Boys Club Boxers Will Feature Preliminary Card - 27
 Rounds of Fighting

Final-Eddie Hanlon vs. Sailor" Ken nedy, 15S pounds, 10 rounds.
 Semi-finals-F Freddie Boorde vs. Tommy McGinty, 135 pounds eight rounds.
 Third Bout-Gene Ral vs. John Saab, 125 pounds, three rounds.
 Second Bout-Claude Wilson vs Steve Sarron, 115 pounds, three rounds.
 Curtain Raiser-Paul Jones vs "un- known" s5 pounds, three rounds.
 Two main bouts will feature tonight's fight card at the B. A. C., when Eddie Hanlon meets Sailor" Kennedy in the finals, and Freddie Boorde clashes with Tommy McGinty in the semifinals. In all, 2 rounds of fighting are scheduled.
 Hanlon and Kennedy, final fighters, have been working out daily for their bout and are in good trim for the battle. Hanlon has made his training quarters at Boys club, while. Kennedy has been doing his preparatory work at the Ath- letic club.
 It will be the meeting of two crafty ringmen when Hanlon and Kennedy clash. Kennedy has done most of his scrapping in the navy but has met many top-notchers. He is of the slugging type and will probably try for knockout to- night.
 Eddie Hanlon is a veteran of Dixie rings. He has done very little scrapping of late and his bout tonight will be some what in the nature of comeback.
 Hanlon has met some of the country5 8 best welterweights and middleweights His scraps with "Sailor" Dixon a few years ago used to be classics and local fans will no doubt remember Eddie by these self-same battles.
 The Hanlon-Kennedy battle will be good one and should be most exciting affair.
 Freddie Boorde meets Tommy McGinty, a newcomer, in the eight-round semifn- als bout McGinty is fighting Irish man" of the old type. but he will be meeting countryman in Boorde. IL should be a nifty affair.
 Boys club boxers will again feature the preliminary card, and the Ciup scrappers are noted for their fierce bat ting. The first prelim begins promptly at s:s0 o'clock Parry will referee the big bouts tonight.

GREENVILLE WINS EASY VICTORY OVER QUINTET OF ANDALUSIA, 4 TO Is

Greenville February 6--(Special.)-T Greenville High school basketball team won over the Andalusia High school team by score of AS to IS on the local campus yesterday afternoon. Andalusia was outpiayed at every stage of the game by the locals. If weight was counted the visitors would have the ad- vantage of the locals for Andalusia' s team was much the heavier.
 The local quintet during the early part of the season played the Georgiana five at that place and the Greenville team save them a clubbing which fact 'got Georgiana's goat Since that time the manager of the local team has endeav- ored to arrange a return game with Georgiana to be played here. Several dates were agreed upon, but for various reasons the Georgiana organization has seen fit to call the games off. Green vile has been looking for Georgiana to accept another date. however, as the To- calls are anxious to play their neighbors again. A number of the Georgiana play CTS and a large number of their support CTS came to Greenville yesterday to wit ness the Greenville -Andalusia game and. as Greenville expected, the Georgiana crowd joind in with the Andalusia root CTS and before the game was called they had great sport. Their joy was suddenly turned into keen disappointment when the game begun and Vernon Stabler, the star center of the local five, began cag- ing field goals one after the other from difficult angles, and Riley, a forward of Greenville, ran away from Hart, Anda- lusia's quick guard. They were also amazed when they witnessed Almon Stabler and Claude McGowin, Green ville's guards, prevent Andalusia's for wards from throwing out occasional goals and Steindorff, another local for ward, caged several goals from near the center of the court From that time on until the close of the game hundreds of Greenville fans had the times of their lives It was a great day for the Green vile basketball fans, who are wondering if Georgiana will ever play that return game.
 The Andalusia team was defeated but Greenville fans enjoyed getting the bes. of Georgiana as much as winning the game. "
 The score was as follows:
 Greenville (4S.)-Riley Q4N forward, Steindorff (D. forward; Vernon Stabler f30). center; McGowin, guard; Almon Stabler, guard
 Andalusia QS.)-Bernell @, forward; Taylor @. forward; Carroll CD, center; Parker guard; Hart, guard.

Boxing fans in New York have De&n treated to some spectacular fistic struggles ever since the game has re turned.
 And the reason is that decisions now are permitted and the champion who wants to save hisf title or the con- tender who yearns to retain his pres tige must step lively and continue to step lively from the beginning of the fight to the end.
 Sailing has become almost a lost art in the ring of New York statA. Once upon time it was feature cf practically every clash. Furthermore most of the warriors now go into the ring trained to the minute, and fit and ready to travel any distance that may be necessary.
 It wasn't like that in the olden daya
 THE TRAWLEY LAW
 The Frawley law which permitted fistic battles, but barred decisiona, hurt the game considerably. The only way a champion could lose his title was to suffer knockout. or lose on foul. Fully realizing thisy most of the division kings merely loafed along through 10 rounds of fighting and bat tied largely on the defensive. They didn't mind if their opponent out pointed them, because it meant really nothing to the champion-except more money later on.
 The fact that the contender gained the popular decision over a champion made many folks believe that the con- tender was the better man.. Naturally. there would be a clamor for a return match-and it would be arranged. Then the champion would extend him> self . little. and things would proba> bly be even at the end of the clash. If the boys figured they could get away with it, they would put on . third fight. and probably that would be staged with both men working to the limit--and perhaps it wouldn't.
 At any rate. champions under the Frawley law could not lose their titles except by knockout or foul, and the chances of either happening when they were battling purely defensively were extremely rare. And so they ust stalled and loafed and unsatisfactory bouts resulted.
 MAKES FEM FIGHT But the new law makes them fight |-startssthem stepping lively with the first gong. and keeps them battling right until the finish. They realize that if they don't outpoint their rival they will be shorn of their champion ship.
 Many persons have the opinion that Pete Herman lost his title not 20 much because of the superior fightine of Lynch, but because Herman Lad gotten into the no-decision groove. He fought along for several years, fig urinE in mostly no-decision clashes He got to point. in the minds of many fistic experts. of never trying seriously to achieve knockout or seriously batter his opponent. As a result, when he got into the ring with Lynch he couldn't "untrack" himself But if that is true of Herman. he is cured. And all the others who stalled are cured. They fight in New York these days-and the fans who are pay ing fancy prices for tickets are get ting their moneys worth--at lasti
