CLUBBERS MEET MISS AGGIES AT
 B. A. (. SATURDAY
Local Quintet Looks Good to a Successful Basketball
 SeaSon-DanCe Saturday
Ky MARVIN MCCARTHY

Fitted ashinst fairly good quin- tet, Coach Brvin's B. A. c. Clubbers last Friday night ran up 37 points | and won their opening game of the season, 37 to 23 They thus did what few Athlerlc club quintets have done in the past, that Is, win their first game and get the right start towards a successful season.
 Saturday night the Clubbers meet the Mississippi A. & M. bask eteers at the E. A. C., In a game that ought to be genuinely good basketball ex- hibition.
 A big dance Is being planned to follow the game, to see the old year out and the new in. A first-class | orchestra swill be on hand, and an other one of those dances that proved so popular last year Is expected to be enjoyed by those who attend Sat urday nights game.
 Mississippi A. & M always has a good team, and the game Saturday should be close one. The Maroons always come to Birmingham with fast, shifty forwards, and close stock ing guards. It Is a hard matter for a Dixie quintet to defeat the Aggies
 II. A. c. Gets Good start
 The Clubbers. off to a fine start look good to have one of their most successful basketball seasons New blood has been injected into the line up, and new stars performed In the opening game. Saturday night. The team that trotted out on the floor against the Baylor Bears seemed a rejuvenated ghost of former B. A. c. quintets that have won honor In years past.
 At the forwards, is a veteran of last season and a newcomer, in Ciillie Chisholm and Stapleton, respective ly. Chisholm played with the Club bers last season, but Stapleton Is playing his first year with the local aggregation. Chisholm, a steady, de- pendable player can always be re- lied upon to give the opposition trouble, and in the game last week he pulled some shots that were little short of sensational. Stapleton ran the floor well and promises to de- velop into a star.
 Another Newcomer
 At center Is another newcomer, in Holt, although this player Is meet ing all the opposition he can take care of in Baker. Bryan and Durham. Holt played a steady game against Baylor last week, and accounted for several tallies for the Clubbers. The other three men were sent in later, and all showed that they have the stuff Coach Erwin states that his se- lection of first string center has not yet been made, and that last weeks s game was merely a trial for all his players
 Two stars are performing at guard with Mandy and Laughlinhouse hold ing down the positions. Mandy, play ing a splendid game at guard, also proved to be the offensive start of the game, scoring 21 points for the Clubbers. His playing was all over the court, and his shooting was all most uncanny in It's accuracy. Mandy looks like the find of the season, and promises to be as much of a star with the B. A. c. as he was with Auburn last year.
 LaughlinhOuse Is Reliable
 Laughlinhouse seems to be the same old reliable Doc" He never threatens the opposition from an of fensive standpoint. but when 1t comes to playing a good, mustard plaster close game at guard, Doc" Laughlinhouse is hard to beat.
 The B. A. c. has numerous men in reserve this season, with a squad of over 20 men reporting for practice regularly.
 Coach Erwin Is out to give the B. A. c. a winning team this year. and hopes to cap the climax of a success full season by defeating Atlanta Attn letic club, something the B. A. C.. hasn't done in several seasons.
