New York. The East Side is in
distress. There's big wedding sched-

ed up in police station. Even the
prospective bride and bridegroom are
destitute Of finery. The trouble start

was robbed. Being the scourse of sup
ply for all festive garments, the place
where you rent dress suits and bridal
wells and silver slippers and hard
boiled shirts Barnett doesn't believe
in the fad for soft, plated ones-this
shop was the crux of the whole we'd
ding. 1t was to furnish costumes for
bridal party and guests alike. Then it
was entered and stripped of practical
ly the entire stock And whe nthe
thieves were caught, matters weren't
improved. The police took charge
then, and are still holding Barnett's
wardrobes as evidence. So there's
misery and unhappiness down by the
East River, where the people lay
blame entirely on poor Barnett, who
still hopes to recover his belongings
and save the day.

Bulldogs Prepare For Gadsden Game;
 Squad Is ln Shape
By MAXWELL ALLEN

The Howard Bulldogs are good and sore over the defeat that they received at the hands of the Jacksonville State Normal boys and are now training harder than they have trained before this season, so that they will have the required stuff to lick the Gadsden Y. NJ. c. A.. team which they will meet in Gadsden on Friday of this week. The Bulldogs are looking good these days now, and when one sees them in action he probably wonders how Jacksonville ever trounced them by such a score as 2S to il.
 The Bulldogs have another good for ward to go along with Blackwelder, Robinson and Wright. and it is be- ginning to look like these boys are going to have some keen competition for their places from now until the end of the season. The man who is going to be responsible for the com petition is none other than Shorty Webb, who has been hanging around ever since old Heck was a pup. A. the first of practice Webb was not noticed much on account of his size, which is very scarce. and consequently was not counted in on either of the disastrous trips that Howard has made this year. However, of late he has been ringing goals so consistently in practice that everyone in his vicinity has 1heen forced to sit up and take notice. As a result, he is now num- bered among the chosen squad. Of course. Webb is little, but he has had experience for the last six or seven years and knows the game. so he will, be bound to get up and make some guard step fast and low to stop him.
 MacCullough has been taking rest this week, not that he has liked to take it in the least, but 1t was forced upon him by hard luck in the shape of rising on one of his paws. Afford has been playing center during the ab- sence- of Mac. but. it is pretty likely that the slim frame of AIacCullough will be seen going around the court again in a few days, So Afford will: probably not have a chance to show his wares at center against the Gads- den boys
 Howard has certainly made just about as bad beginning as a team could make. but all is well that ends well and from the looks of the local boys. it would not surprise fans to see them end we'll

Junior Panthers
 Confident of Win

The Junior Partners go up against the crimson-clad boys from Central this aft ernoon at .s:3o at the B. A. c. The .simp- son boys take the floor confident of vic tory, and with the student body support ing them with that regular old Simpson pep" the Central clan had better step, look and listen.
 Coach Reynolds announced this morn ing that he was expecting the Purple and Gold to cop the game, although he realizes, as well as the team, that 1t will not be like taking sugar from baby by any means.
 The lineup, will. probablys be: Newton. center: Tucker and Thomas, - forwards; Wheeler and Self, guards; with, Tip Lee, forward, ready to pinch hit, and Spence and Tanner waiting for a sguard job. The four guards areas closely punched that, with the exception of Self, i. is hard to determine who will be on the court when the whistle blows.
 Simpson students were delighted to hear that Englehert, the scentilatirg forward, would be on deck when the Junior fan- thers started on the trip which has been planned for the middle of February. With Englebert in the lineup, the Simpsonites are one of the most formidable quintets in the state.
 If the Central basketteers could have heard the mass meeting yesterday after noon, held in the chapel they would shake in their shoes. And the same old pep" will probably be backing the team when they go up against the foe this aft ernoon.

 The circulars were merely explanations of the tourney and it's aims. while the cards were little questionnaires. request ing the opinion of the proposed tourney of the high school official to whom 1t was sent.

Central Ready for
 Ganse With Simpson
By BEN GREEN

This afternoon when the Central Grim sons clash with the Simpson Warriors a good fight is expected, but the dope favors Central to win. The Columbiana quintet that administered defeat to the Simpsontes by a 21 to 13 count also beat the Tuscaloosa gang. 12 to T, a week earlier. The local boys then wal loped Tuscaloosa, 34 to 19. It figures out that the Central clan is IS points bet ter offensively than Simpson. but not quite as good on the defense Central will probably start off with the five man defense, s.which was not inaugurated until the second half of the Tuscaloosa game, They scored only of their 19 points after that This strategy held the sloss-sheffield aggregation to 6 points, of which were fouls. in 20 min- utess of play. Central will start the same lineup as in Saturdays fray
 Coach Meyers announced today that the Crimsons would take trip to Co., aumbus in the next week or two. Games have also been booked with Dora Hish school Cs1S champions), which has suf- fefed defeat at the hands of Ensley already this season; Morgan school which is classed with the secondary col
 
 and several other well-known schools He says that he will keep the local lads, busy and in fine trim for the state stournament on February a. Coach 'hass sets his heart on putting out three championship aggregations for Central and the boys are doing their best to make him. realize his wish.
 A good Central crowd with bushels of yelling will turn out for the affair The cheer leaders have been eating many boxes of cough drops and will have their voices tuned to the proper pitch. This contest being a local encounter, a great neal of rivalry will be manifested, but these schools know the code of sports manshp to the letter and fair play has become habit. Basketball has begun che of it's most eventful years in the south and much interest is shown, so that good attendance is looked for ward to.
