Junior Panthers
 Meets Doro Cage
 FiUe Here Tonight

The Simpson High school bas- keteers have resumed practice fol- lowing their return tc school and their Christmas road tour The strong Dora High five will be met tonight in the Panther gym. and Coach Key holds proteges are looking for hard go with the invaders.
 The Purple Torando" is in bad way, physicilalys speaking. for both of the regular forwards are laid up with injuries and it Is very doubtful whether either will be able to get in any of the games However. there is a chance that Senn may get in s part of the game, although Caldwell will be unable to play at all. These two boys were both injured early in the Christmas tour and this went a long way toward the showing made on the South Alabama invasion. "Skinney" Edmondson will work at one of the forwards tonight. but who will be in charge of the other is still a mystery.
 At center will be Charlie Vincent, star pivot man, who is expected 10 be one of the few Junior Panthers in anything like fair condition for to- nights struggle. Vincent is a good floor man and shoots well in addi- tion
 The guards will be started in charge of Crack Hanna and Wheeler Both of these boys are in fair shape and should hold down their assignments fairly well at the least. Wesley will be held in re- serve at guard, al we'll as Hartsfield. Sid Godbee will be another reserve man who may get the call tonight to take care of some position. Center or forward will be most likely where Coach Reynolds will use him if at all.

HOWARD QUINTET IS LOOKING GOOD
 FOR GOOD SEASON
Bulldogs to Play Practice Game Either Tonight or
 Tomorrow

After laying off for the Christmas holidays, the Howard Bulldogs are at hard work again, and it looks like Howard should do much better in basketball than they did In football, from the way the team has been ca vorting of late. They have been prac . ticing for long time now, and though they are still showing lots oi faults, the Howard huskies are look Ing good and ithe material out for the team this season seems to Dc the best that has been out for 8 Howard team in some time.
 The Bulldogs are well fixed this sea son in the forward department. hay ing Pat shores, RoWdy Crews and Shorty Webb for> the regular for wards, and Stevens and Griggs in case these boys fail to show the stuff. However there doesn't seem to be much chance. of the regular forwards faltering if their playing of late means anything. Pat Shores and Rowdy Crews have been going at a great speed. Shorty Webb. the only old forward of last year, had the handicap of getting started late. but he is going good now and should be able to overcome this handicap.
 Toby Stubbs is playing center. and he doesn't seem to have any one agalnst him who is able to keep close enough to furnish any competition. Stubbs played three years with Gen. tral High, during which time he performed at every position on the team and he played all of them

Country" Is the last of the old line of slugging Georgia outfielders. made famous by the trio of Satterfied, Cranford and Mangum. He was captain and lead ing hitter of the squad last spring. Country" is good man.
 McWhorter really struck his stride last season when his pinch blows were powerful factors in several Bulldog victories. Fitts fielded we'll and hit timely.
 Fresh upon the announcement of the above retirements comes an ir- responsible rumor that Panty" Pan tcne and Josh Watson will not be here for the spring ball frolic. Josh made good quickly. stepping in at second base his first year, while Pan- tone seems due for his best season.

Camille. What is the matter Tell me" He had caught her hand again. The very touch of him was an electric current.
 She faced him. In the moonlight, there was an ethereal loveliness about the girl that caught al his very heart
 She nerved herself for the coming ordeal.
 Tt is true what you told me on the hill-top this afternoon--that you have no right to tell me that you love me. Even her lips were pale-those lips that had glowed so ardently In the ball room You belong to some one else. You are--married,
 He drew back as though she had struck him.
 .Who told you that?' The words came with the clearness of pistol shot.
 "Dolly. When I got home. She had letter from a friend
 Followed a silence that was tense
 Then
 And you spoke of telegram from London that made you feel as though inc end of the world had come? .uppose that wire was from-your wifef
  continued, in voice that had a piteous little tremor in 1t.
 Then why did you come back? Having made me care for you, why couldn't you leave me toto get over things? What made you return here, to torment me?'
 "Camille, that isn't true. ] wouldn't hurt you for the world"
 She drew away from him. His touch was too upsetting.
 But you have hurt me l-I be- lieved in you. You seemed so senu- ine-so honest and sincere"
 That cut him.
 A little storm of anger came Ia her that made her tremble like the birch leaves in the breeze.
 You had no right-no right at all"
 'I had right. The right of lov- ing you"
 Her lip curled.
 That's a towards excuse, and not a mans"
 Camille. don't turn away from me Listen, and let me state my case Again he caught her hand imploring ly and tried to draw her to him.

 But you shall listen. Camille. insist you do. And first Of all. I'm going to put question to you" He faced her squarely. He was just as pale as she, and the line of his jaw and chin looked as though nodded out of steel.
 Well, ask me what you choose I've nothing to hide" It was difficult to believe that eyes that had so recently been irradiated by glow of love could look so cold.
 You believe that I'm not free to come to you? You believe that. being bound to someone else, I'd be dishon- orabie enough to come to you and ask you for your iove?' He put the ques- tions bruesquely, almost harshly.
 The girls chin went up an inch higher It was her place to catechze, not his.
 You can best answer that your self said she, in cool, detached It, tie voice.
 I'm asking you. Camille"
 And if l refuse to answer?'
 He had a temper that could match her own, and at this inopportune mo- ment 1t blazed up.
 If you refuse to answer, then I'm finished with you. thought you were made of finer mettle, but I see l was mistaken. At the first breath of gossip. you believe all you hear, without even giving me a chance to explain matters, lovei You don't even know the meaning of that ill-used word. Your idea of the things a travesty"
 She stiffened. Human nature IS contrary and Just because she loved him and believed that he had hurt her, she was anxious to be cruel
 'I grant you that our lnterpreta- tion of the term may be vastly differ ent,' she said coolly, Your code. for instance. is more elastic than my own?"

". &J. Coach Says Presidents Were
 Robbed of Tally

Los Angeles. January 5.-A charge that the Washington and Jefferson football team was "robbed"1 of a touchdown in the scoreless game against the University of Caiitorni1 at Pasadena Monday, has been voiced here by Earle Neale W. and !. coach
 Neale declared that H. H. Huebel. san Francisco, who was head lines man, should not have called Stein, W. and J. star, offside on play from which Brenkert w and J.. back, carried the ball across the Cali fornia line.
 Other officials do not agree with Neale, however, and say that Huebei blew his horn, which called the off side. even before Brenkert had reached the line of scrimmage in his successful dash for the goal. Under the rules, the ball could not be brought back until the play had been completed.
 Huebel is president of the Pacific Coast Football association.

 Trophy List Is Large

Trophy List Is Large
 Mir. Carter talked at length over the coming dog show Thurs day afternoon, and he spilled the info thaI larger prize list than was ever offered in the south be- fore had been made up for the February event.
 As matter of fact" said Mir. Carter, it will be the most ex- tensive premium list offered at any bench show held in the coun- try the past year. Cash prizes are 10 be given, loving cups and merchandise. with the purses running well over the thousand dollar mark. A grand total of 6S loving cups will be offered.
 Entries Coming Fast
 By the rapid way in which the entries are coming in those in charge look for over .260 dogs to be benched at the local show. Some of the big eastern and northern kennels are sending a 7 beyy of dogs down to compete for prizes.
 Every canine that has stuck around the shade of his family tree and has a pedigree to sport will be eligible for competition. All kinds of dogs will be here. Beagles, poms, bulls. collies, aire- dales, lapdogs. yard dogs, hunt ing dogs, sausage dogs-in fact, every kind of dog imaginable will be on hand with aspirations for blue ribbon honors.
 Even Ed Norton's famous lutch hound, which he explained was a dog and one-half dog long and half dog high, will prob ably be at the show to compete for honors. And with so many dogs assem- bled at the same place it's probable that the chiropo- dists' union will close up shop for the two days and mover around l723 Second avenue.
 Meeting for Monday Night
 President Carter announces that another special meeting will be held the coming Mon day night to further discuss the show, at which all members are urged to be present. The board of directors of the Birmingham Kennel club. named at it's most recent meeting, is made up of the following: J. D. Matlock, ]. w. Beddow, NJ. J. Donlan, J. R. Bodine, J. w. Hamilton, b. o.

 All standard breeds of sporting and transporting dogs are 10 be exhibited at the local show, and every true lover of dogs Is urged to get in behind the bench show and make it the most successful ever pulled off below the Mason and Dixon line.
 Crude Surgery
 Manager James o6 Loew's Bl- jou invited me down to see Ker- miss saw the young lady in two Thursday afternoon. As Ker- miss placed the girl in the box and started showing the saw through the coffin-shaped en- closure with his stage compan- ion on the other end of the cross cut, and as the sawdust flew. Red SDarkman humble in ministe- rial terms: "Sawdust thou art and to sawdust thou returnest."
 Yet when the saving had ceased and the box was severed In half, the girl bounced out wholly whole. All of which re- minds us if some Birmingham pitchers could get out of tight places as easily as Kermiss' as- sistant we'd win many more ball games than we do in the course of seasons run.
