CLUBBERS CLOSE
 1922 SEASON IN
 AUBURN GAME
Ervin'S Men Consider Atlanta Victory Redeemed Seasons
 Losses This Year

The Birmingham Athletic club basketball team has closed it's pres ent season, and. while every game was not won, the Clubbers consider the season a successful one, never theless.
 According to the Clubber players. the defeat handed Atlanta here a couple of weeks ago atoned for every defeat the local team suffered this season. It was the first time in five years that the B. A. C. quintet had defeated the Atlanta Athletic club, and the locals are still batting them selves on the back on that account.
 In only a few games did the Club bers play the basketball of which they were capable. The team couldn't get started right. and as a consequence games were lost that should have been won.
 Norman Mandy. who alternated at guard and forward, was the scoring star of the local team, netting almost half their points. Mandy is sure shot at the basket, and the Clubbers are counting on him strongly for next years team. C.
 High Pockets Bryan came back in grand style at center this season, and
  sition. Bryan was one. of the stars of the local team.
 Gillie Chisholm, Charlie Stapleton and Jerry Thomas held down the for wards. and all made good records for themselves this season. Thomas pulled himself up from the reserves, but played in every important game toward the latter part of the sea son.
 Clemmie Lsughlinhouse played his usual stellar game at guard, and his work was great factor in holding down the opponents scores. Glenn is still regarded as one of the best bas- keteers in tho city, despite the fact that he is becoming something more than veteran at the game.
 Clemmie Shugerman was alternate guard, and whenever Shugerman got in game he played in jamb-up fash ion.
 Two new men on the squad are Othar Afford and Toby Stubbs, How ard college stars. Both played in the last two or three games and are being strongly counted upon for next sea- sons team by Coach Erwin.

ACMAR IS PLANNING
 GREAT BASEBALL NINE

Acmar, February J. Plans are on foot to put a great baseball team in the field this year representing Acmar. A meeting will be held about March A. and in all probability John Sanders will again be manager and Charlie Shepherd, captain. The following players have reported from last years team: Hu- bert Clayton. second base; A. tRed) Farrell, first base; Charlie Shepherd, catcher; Dummy Harrington, pitcher; Lefty" Martin. pitcher; E. (Spo) Farrell, left fielder; Wallace Pyles, outfielder; Bully" Billetts, third base.
 In addition to the regulars, two new men are trying out for shortstop, who are very promising. Murphy and Brown Hill It Is expected that "Poco" Little and Speedy" Keith. both of last years tenn, will return.
 Earl Box of Margaret was a big factor in some of the games last year and it is hoped that Acmar may have him in the lineup oftener the coming season, if not as a regular. He is considered one of the best pitchers in this part of the country. Shepherd, one of Box's old battery mates, will be in form by opening of the season, regardless of the fact he was hurt in an accident Dummy Harrington is an unknown quantity as a pitcher, but, in addition to box ing, held berth in the city league for three years At one time he was with the champion Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company team, winning all of his games for the sea- son.

Rival QuintetS Meet in Return Game on Local Court
 Tonight

Tonight the Howard college Bull dogs meet the Redbird basketeers of the Y. M c. A. in a return battle. The game will be played on the Y. M. c. A, court, and will begin at 8 o'clock
 The Bulldogs have defeated the Redbirds once, winning over the ''Y'' men little over a week ago. Coach Abel's men put up a spirited resis- tance in the first half, and threatened 10 win from the East Lakers, but the Bulldogs rallied in the final period. and finished rather well ahead of their opponents.
 Coach Marshalls men, while they have had no big games lately, have been working out hard nevertheless, and are in excellent shape. Stubbs and Afford, who have been playing with the Birmingham Athletic club, being members of the B. A. c. as we'll as students at Howard, have been practicing daily with the Bull dogs, and arc just as much members of the East Lake outfit as of the Gluhbers. From now on these two players will give their undivided att tention to their work with the Bull dogs, as the Clubbers have closed .ut their season. e
 The Bulldogs will probably use their regular lineup tonight, while Coach Abel will probably send the same men in who have been winning city league games for the Y. M. c. A.
 The game tonight will probably be the last of the series between city championship contenders.

MAKE OVER YOUR FRoCIx

rom lu6 lDccib
 After the new year is fairly launched and we are still wrapped in our winter furs. most of us begin the task of replenishing our wardrobes so as to be ready at the first sign of spring to appear in splendid new clothes. No frock or suit is so hope lessly old fashioned that it cannot be used in some way in the new sea- son. If you have taffeta. foulard O. satin that has outlived it's usefulness as dress, it could be very easily re- modelled into costume slip to be worn under an overdress of new ma teriaL A costume slip also forms an important part. The blouse and tu- nic are cut in one and worn over the slip. This style lends itself nicely in making over two old dresses if ono is silk and the other cloth. The slip, side body and sleeves arc of one ma terial and the tunic and collar are of another.
