BULLDOGS RETURN CAGE GAME WITH AUBURN SATURDAY

Athens, Ga, February 3.-(Special.) J. Coach Stegeman with his Georgia bas- keteers leave tomorrow for tho love Hest little village where the Bulldog quintet will return the Auburn game on their own floor.
 the playing of the Plainsmen. Though the red-jerseyed cyclone slipped H to P victory over the Donahue boys in the Classic City. it is believed that the Athenians will have to go at tip-top rate to take the measure of the Tigers Sat- urday night in their own den. The Plainsmen are always hard lot to de- feat on their own floor. It will be re- membered that the Bulldogs defeated the wearers of the Blue and Gold last year in Athens, but the Tigers noosed one- point margin victory over the Athenians when they returned the game on the plains.
 FAvORITES FOR TITLE
 Though the admirers of the Red and Black and the sporting writers of the south are picking the Stegeman boys as tavorites in the coming s. l. A. A. tour nament to be staged February 6 and 20 in Atlanta, it is realized that they must make a clean sweep of the Auburn games in order to have better chance at the Dixie title. The red-jerseyed cyclone hasn't been defeated by a single s, l, A. A. quintet as yet. They have lost only one game, and that was to the Ma con Y. M. c. A.
 After the Bulldogs take on the TigerA in Auburn Saturday night they will jour- rey over to Columbus, where they clash with the strong Camp Benning five Mon- day night. The soldiers have one of the best quintets in the state and Georgia will have their hands full in "bringing the bacon home"
 Capt. Alex w. Cunningham. former University of Georgia coach, is now Hta- tioned at Camp Benning. It is expected that he will referee the game.
 TIGERS STAR FORWARDS
 Mike Donahue has one of the best lives in the S. I. A. A. In "Hubb' Harn and Harks the Tigers have pair of men that would star on any quintet.
 The Georgians seem to get better with every game they play. The Stegeman lads have been going at great clip or speed all season.
 The probable lineup of the Georgia Auburn game will be:
 Georgia-Anderson. right forward; Rawson, left forward; Anderson, center; Cheeves (captain). right guard; Owens' left guard.
 Auburn-Hahn, right forward; Barks (captain), left forward; Moulton. center; Wade. right guard; Lassiter, left guard.

The Ensley Yellow Jackets will fly over to Leeds this afternoon and meet that aggregation in a basketball encoun- ter. This will be the third game that the Ensley lads have played this year, and they are expected to bring back the bacon. The Ensley lineup will prob- ably be as follows:
 Captain Scokel and Walker, forwards; Rosenfield center; Moody and Candy, Ruards. Peck. who returned to the team this week, will also probably be used in the game. The Ensley team is seriously entering the high school and will begin practicing on the Boys club court in the next few days.

whatever is given, whether large

Last year Mrs. Fl. r. johnson who

would be very happy indeed II the
proceeds for the day reached the
thousand dollar mark, and was very
much elated TO find when the last

due to the splendid work done by

Every Boy Will be Safe
in Scout Camp This
Summer

At the meeting Of the Boy Scouts
last night in the City building sew
eral talks were given telling about
the Scout camp and aiming to work
up the interest Of the boys.
Harold Roush, who will be assist
ant camp director, gave a very in
teresting tai ktelling about camp
life. He told of the camp site anu
how excellent the fishing is. Also
OF the wonderful opportunities that
the site offers for hikes into the
mountains. He explained how on
these hikes the scouts will be taugh
woodlore and then how around the
camp fire at night stories will be
told and the various animal calls
will be heard, explained and talked
about. He appealed to the boys
love Of game fishing and told how
the finesht rainbow trout are plenti-
ful near the camp. His whole talk
savored Of camp life and when he
finished tn escouts we're almost
spellbound but finally they burst in
a round of applause.
Scout Executive Tate then made a
short talk in which he said that
there would be d doctor in camp and
told OF all the safety first preeau-
tions that are being taken He said
that he or Roush would gladly go
and talk to the parents OF any boy
t oassure them that their boys viii
be safe and sound, and not only that
but will gain knowledge and weight
and strength by his two weeks in

HOW LONG,,

ID ERHAPS some of you may
= have noticed in the newspapers
that they are preparing to hold a
prize fight of international import
ance over in New Jersey. IF you are
particularly attentive to values in the
world of sport you also have obsery-
ed that there is no great popular
enthusiasm for the man who will
represent this country in the coming
contest and that this IS larselygber
cause Tie husky young American is
accused Of taking employment in a
ship yard to avoid the draft. while
the Frenchmen served his country
gallantly on the front.
They could not make the Stacker
charge stick against Dempsey when
it came to a show down in the
courts. and any way, those who
know most about the case say that
his manager. a man named keams.
is morally responsible for what the
young and not overly bright fighter
did at that time.
This same Keams is still manag-
ing Dempsey and he is more than
ever in the lime light right now be-
cause he threatens to stop the fight
if the New Jersey Boxing Commis-
sion insists upon carrying out the
provisions Of the New Jersey boxing
match law with regard to the selec-
ton Of a referee. How much longer
arc the American people going to
stand for Keams3 If some one would
kindly run him into the sea maybe
Dempsey would be able to enter the
ring feeling that he has the best
wishes Of all his fellow counrymen.
And beyond a doubt that would help
a lot.
