Alabama BaSketeers Play a Good Game to Humble Ath- letic Club Outfit in Return Game Here
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Coach Ervin's Clubbers were almost as badly off form last night as they were right against Atlanta A c. last Saturday, and Alabama dupli- cated it's feat of the early season and defeated the Athletic club quintet last night. The crimsons won the game at the B. A C. by the score of 30 to IT.
 The Clubbers played good basket ball in tn efirst half. and were lead ing their opponents at the halfway mark by a 13 to II count. The locals had overcome an early lead to win the first half, and were looking good as winners when the period ended.
 Alabama's men started fighting in the second period, and soon had over come the lead of the Clubbers. The Crimsons played some real basket ball in this period, and scored 19 points to the locals 1.
 Crimson Forwards Star
 The Crimson forwards, McGauley, the diminutive, and Stabler, the husky, proved the undoing of the Clubbers. It was the great work of the speedy little McGauley that over came the lead of the Clubbers, while | Stabler took up the burden where | McGauley left off. and piled up point after point for the Crimsons. In the second half. Stabler scored five field goals for the Crimsons.
 Alabama's men played a good game of basketball last night. They passed well and missed only a few of their shots. Their defensive work was ex- cellent also, and the Clubbers, in the l..1C Il their opponents.
 The Crimsons, with the exception of MeGauley, are all big, strapping fellows, and they met the Clubbers' rush with rushes equally as effective. Undoubtedly the Crimsons are one of the greatest quintets in the south this season, and they played real bas- ketball last night.
 McGauley and Stabler work to- gether well. Both are fine shots, and they make formidable team.
 Slim Carter, at center, plays a nice floor game. and feeds the ball to his team mates well. He is an ac- curate foul goal shooter also. Gazzola is K good man at running guard, and seems to know how to keep the ball out of enemy territory. Hudson, although a bit rough last night, seemed to be good man under his foes basket.
 Ciubbers orr The Clubbers +fs-'4 -fov the game of basketball against the Crimsons that they did against Atlanta, but Jerry Thomas was in as good shape as ever. Mandy was able to loop through only two of his long distance beauties. but High Pockets" Bryan shot three field goals.
 The game was bit slow, as play was stopped an unusual number of times for the ball to be thrown up Lineup:

in part.
Rev. Bernard Lange. whose numer-
Gus articles on physical training have
given him a standing as an authority
on the subject, is using the Notre
Dame freshmen as material in carry
ing out his experiments which will
form the basis for scientific study of
the value of athletics.
An accurate record is being made OF
the physical condition OF every fresh
man this year and next June, at the
end of the school year. measurements
will be taken to determine the extent
to which intelligent training can be
relied upon to correct physical weak
nesses. The experiments are expect
the value of corrective exercises and
also upon the kind of physical perfcc-
ton produced by athletics.
Experiments conducted last year by
Rev. Lange were designed to show the
value OF athletics as a developer of the
students mind as we'll as his body. In
connection with these experiments n
contest was conducted to determine the
best-built man IN the university. Leon
ard Shaw, football tackle and western

first place. Other PRICES went to Ed
