BRITISH PRESS IS
 MUCH DISAPPOINTED
Says Europe Was Unable to Arise to Opportunity Of Getting on to
 Road to Recovery

London, Aug. ls (ry Associated Press)-Europe was unable to rise to what might have been q grand op. portunity 10 her feet on the road to recovery,
 This is the consensus of the press comment regarding the failure of the London conference but as to who was responsible for the failure depends upon whether one accepts the French or British viewpoint.
 The government editorials express the hope that France will take the counsel of reason and sohriety and not continue to act against her own best interests. while those Of the op- position press such as the Daily Mall. say the British people will not allow any administration to quarrel with their friend and ally for the benefit and satisfaction of the Germans, Says the Times,
 The initial cause of the Downing street failure was the Balfour note and that dangerously petty and shortsighted spirit which inspired 1t betrays a startling inadequate con- ception of British dignity and true British interest,"
 The Daily Telegraph thinks the failure may prove the most disouiet ing news since the armstice. but as sures the French that the British are determined to make Germany pay as they are

INDIANA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR COMMENDS
 ACTION OF ILLINOIS

Bloomington, Ind, January 25.-- Athletic Director E. o. Stiehm, of In diana university, today commended Illinois for its action in barring nine football players suspected of pro fessionalism. He also expressed the opinion that the rule against college athletes receiving money for playing summer baseball should be modified. His statement follows:
 T heartily second the hope ex- pressed by Coach zuppke at Illinois, that a general clean-up in western conference schools will follow. The spirit and letter of the rules should be observed or the rules should De scrapped Illinois is to be com mended for its steps. Athletes wno played summer baseball should, or course, be included in general clean-up. They have violated the present rule I believe that students should be allowed to play baseoall for money during the summer so aons as they obtain previous permission from their school authorities ana go not play in an organized league.

JACKSONVILLE QUINTET
 DEFEATS CAMP MCCLELLAN

Anniston, January Special, > The Jacksonville Independents added another to their unbroken- string ot victories when they defeated the Camp Mcclellan cagesters S5 to 24 In a game replete with thrills and brilliant plays, Friday night on the Camp floor.
 The winners had the lead all dur ing the fray and the result was never seriously in doubt, the McClellanites playing a good brand of basketball, but failing to measure up to the Jacksonville lads. Tho latter rang up 22 points in the first half while the losers made only IS in the same length of time. During the last half, Jacksonville, believing they had the game cinched, seemed to slacken up slightly and allowed their rivals to gain II points against their own IS. The losers also redoubled their ef- forts during the closing minutes and to some extentnt held down the scoring of the victors while running up their own

---=-.s,-----5-- HOWARDENTERS A TEAM IN SOUTHERN CAGETOURNAMENT
Alabama Is Being Figured as Strong Contender for
 the Title

Atlanta, January 29.-r(SpeciaE}-- Plans for the southern baskctball tournament are coming on at a fast rate. To date IS teams have sent in their formal entry blanks. These teams are Tech. Georgia, Auburn, Mercer, Alabama, Kentucky. Missis- sirpi A. & NJ, University of Chatta- nooga. Clemson, Newberry. Citadel, University of South Carolina and Howard college.
 Nine others have signified their in- tentlon of entering the tournament. These teams are Vanderbilt, l.. S L. Tulane. University of North Carolina, Furman, Wofford. Millsaps college. University of Florida and the univer- sity of Tennessee
 Center Might Withdraw
 Center college announced that they would enter at the first of the season. but Pennsylvania and Georgetown college of KentuckyS have defeated them and it is thought that they will not think it worth while to enter. One team from last year, Birming- ham Southern, is not putting team in the field this year. and so will not renter the tournament.
 The teams are cven more evenly matched than they were last year. No one will forget the Georgia Tech game and the University of Ken lucky Georgia game, which the lat ter won by 1 point. This year, only one team stands out above the rest, This team is Alabama. which was de- feated last year by Tech.
 Is undcfeated
 So far this year Alabama remains undefeated. They have swamped Tech, B. A c. and Howard college. In Carter. at center and Gazzoh at guard, they have two men who are the peer of anything in the south. The team is the fastest )n the floor and the best shots at the basket that the writer has seen in the south, with the possible exception of the V. NJ. |, team of 1920 Alabama is our best bet to finish first unless she blows badly from her early season form. Among the rest, the University oi Chattanooga will stand looking over. Thei, impressive victory over Mercer stamps them as the real rival of Ala . bama. Vanderbilt. Tech, Georgia, Mercer. Howard college, University Of South Carolina, all seem to be about equal.

FIFTY PER CENT OF
 HUMAN EFFORT IS
 DECLARED WASTED

Waste through tho human factor in business was discussed by Dr. Ed ward L. Hawk, character analyst al the Tutwiler ballroom yesterday aft ernoon to a crowd that overflowed the man hall and balconies and filled every available space of the room.
 He stated that the factors of ma chinery and operation were system atized in big business to a high de- gree of efficiency, but that 50 per cent of human effort was wasted be- cause man does not know himself or appreciate the type to which he be- longs.
 Ninety per cent of the people are in the wrong position said Dr. Hawk.
 "They are square pegs in round holes. My plan is to teach people to recognize their talent and the quail ties they possess. 1t is a work of character analysis and business psy- chology. Experts read by understand ing development and can detect char acteristics. and by knowing charac- teristics tell the tendency of the fu- turs."
 An interesting part of the pro- gram was the character analysis demonstration made by Dr. Hawk. Subjects were called upon the plat form and from observance of features and outward physical appearance the speaker told the subject to what type he belonged and named his character istics.
 This afternoon at 8 o'clock he will speak on Character Analysis as Ap- piled to Children" and tonight at 8 o o'clock he will talk on "The Three Great Human Types"
 Dr. Hawk stated that people act according to the way they think and think according to their type
 The lectures are free and will com tinue until Thursday night.
