N the early days of automobile
L contests, Barney Oldheld-out
to win every race-studied tires.
His consistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to his specifications.
Twenty years of road and track
victories-with steady and increas-
ing demand for tires as he built them
convinced Barney Oldheld that
these speed tests pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic reception of Old
field Cords by the public proved he
was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers IN the country
and many thousands of car owners,
experienced in the use of tires-bear
witness by their decided preference
that Oldheld is doing a bigger and
better job of tire making.
This volume, handled in an eTec-

in price quotations far below what
you'd expect on tires known to be
better built and more enduring.
Practically every important race
event for three years has been won
on Oldfelds. The Wichita Test Run
in which an entire set of Oldheld
Cords covered 34,525 miles on rough
roads proves the mettle of the Most

 Locals Line Up Uncertain
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

Facing the most important game of their basketball season, the local Clubbers are primed to slip their Atlanta rivals a surprise package to- night. Tonight, the game starting at sso o'clock. the B. A. C. basketeers will face the Atlanta A. C. quintet The game will be played on the B. A. c. court.
 The C1ubbers have heen showing gobs of form all week, and are really in good shape for tonight's- game. Against Howard college Tuesday night the Clubbers played their best game of the season, and have been showing the same scrappy charac- teristics in workouts following the Bulldog game. If the Clubbers play the same game against Atlanta that they did against Howard, Joe Bean's visiting outfit will have to watch its step, or meet the consequences.
 Bine--Up Uncertain
 Tonight's lineup to be used by Coach Erwin is a mater of specula- tion only, for so many changes have been made all week that Coach Erwin himself probably doesn't know who he will use.

fore the men. went to the mat, as each was working cautiously and taking no chances on letting his opponent slip something over.
 Toe Hold for Toe Hold
 Binckley secured the first real hold, making Draak squirm and writhe under the agony of toe hold. Draak came out by seizing Binckley's s leg, and turning the tables on his op- ponent.
 The two men wrestled on, with neither having much advantage. until Draak made the mistake of picking Binckley up and trying to hurl him to the mat. Binckley locked his op- ponent's arms, and, falling on top of him, pinned his shoulders flat.
 When Draak came back for the second fall, he was a bit slow about getting started, and before two min utes had elapsed Binckley had secured a body scissors and arm hold on his opponent. Draak's shoulders were flat, and Referee Tompkins patted Binckley on the back.
 Lacey Wins over Taylor
 Tom Lacey of the Y. NJ. c. A, was awarded his bout with Parker Taylor last night, when the latter became sick after ten minutes of wrestling, and was unable to come back for an- other session on the mat.
 The Lacey Taylor match last night was a duplication of their first scrap at the B. A. C., inasmueh as Taylor made a speedy start and great showing almost up to the finale, when he weakened and lost out.
 A fair crowd witnessed last nights bouts at the B. A. C.

Local Quintet in Great Shape for Game Tonight

 High" Bryan has been going nicely all week and seems sure to start at center. Bryan's great height en- ables him to show up well on the tip off, while his goal shooting ability has been increasing all week.
 Glenn Laughlinhouse will start at one guard, and probably Mandy at the other, Mandy will be used at either a forward or guard, with Shugerman getting the cfass at guard if Mandy goes to forward,
 Charlie Stapleton. who has been out of the game with bad ankle, Is getting In shape again, and may be used tonight.
 Crackers Strong
 The Cracker outfit from Atlanta has mopped up with everything thie season, and is favorite to win to- nights game. Atlanta has been using the same lineup all season, with great success.
 Scott and Bass are great forwards, and are fairly accurate op long dis tance shooting.
 Lewis Morrison. lofty center, is considered one of the best men in the south at this position, and his scoring is always a great factor in Atlanta's victories.
 Sullivan and Graves are fighting guards. and are hard to slip field goals over.

ALABAMA WINS Al CLOSE GAME FROM.
 TULANE QUINTET.
Crimson's Great Work in the First Half Is Responsible
 for Victory <

University, February 1o.-(Spe- cial. )--The University of Alabama five defeated Tulane here tonight in the closest game played on the local floor this season, the score standing at 26 to 20.
 The game was probably the weird est ever seen on the local court, shot after shot for both the visitors and Alabamas rolling in the basket only to roll out again. Both sides resorted to long shots, with very poor suc- cess. The Alabama five seemed greatly tired from their invasion of Georgia and their work was not up to it's usual standards especially in the second half.
 Carter, star center, played his usual great game at the pivot post, getting If points. He was off in his foul shooting. getting only of 15 shots. McGauley, midget forward, was right" getting 8 points from the field. Stabler made while in the game. Gazsola continued his great work at guard.
 Lantrip and Legendre were the lu- minaries for Tulane. Lantrip shot of 10 foul shots and field goals for 14 points. Legendre dished out d SOOu Edilc dL BudFus put was put out of the game for four personal fouls. These two are the best look ing basketeers that have invaded the local court. The two teams play again tomorrow night. Lineup: Alabama (2s) Tulane (20) Position Stabler CD ............ Lantrip (14)

Ohio State GrappIer Turns Tables on Belgian to Secure First Fall = Bout Lacked Thrills
By MARVIN M,cARrHY

Tom Draak. the Belgian, failed to make the scrappy showing against Cliff Binckley last night that he did in their first match two weeks ago. Binckley won rather easy victory over Draak at the B. A. C. last night, winning two consecutive falls.
 Both of Binckleys two falls came with rush The first, after little over 37 minutes of wrestling, was a surprise, for, to accomplish the fall. Binckley suddenly reversed the tables on Draak. Binckley threw his man Tor this fall with an arm and body hold, after Draak had picked him up and tried to hurl him to the mat.
 The second fall came after less than two minutes of grappling, the result of an arm lock and top body scissors. Draak put up a sluggish defense, and Binckley was on top of him and had his shoulders flat in short order.
 Many Holds Secured
 The two grapplers, while their match didn't last very long, did give an exhibition of wrestling holds that was interesting to see. Each man obtained many holds, and their secur- ing and breaking of these grips furnished several thrills. W
 The match was not good one, for 1t lacked the thrill of two top notch grapplers trying with all they had to throw each other. Binckley and Draak seemed to be giving an exhibit tion match, until Binckley suddenly elamped down and threw Draak
 When Draak and Binckley came out for the first fall, the formers weight was announced at 230 pounds, while Binckley's was given out as 225 pounds. It was several minutes be

 Whorton's fine playing stood out for Shelby He was shooting long ones the entire afternoon and was also throwing in fouls. He scored IA points for his afternoons work, and all his field goals were from the cen ter of the floor.

One by One
 Three years ago Connie Mack's scout swooped down on the At lanta ball club and bought eight men from the Crackers. This was the largest assortment of players ever purchased from a minor league club at one time. Out of the lot Connie has developed one star, and the rest have fallen by the wayside. Jimmy Dykes is the man who made good. True Gal loway and Lena Styles are still on the payroll, but they haven't shone with the brilliance ex- pected.
 The other day Connie sent Ivey Griffin, one of the eight rockies : of three years ago to Milwaukee. Griff was first-saker and lasted three years. Of the others Ray Roberts and Dan Boone lasted only during fall workouts and were shipped back. Since then they have left the Atlanta club being traded to the two worst clubs in the league--Mobile and Chattanooga. Red Mingo, an- other of the lot, went to the Macks once. and to the Yankees once, but on each trip up, he fail- ed and was shunted back to the Atlanta club.

Finally, the hooch- hound grew weary of the tongue-wagging of the youngster and he turned to him and said:
