PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 1S.-Invita- tions to compete at the great relay carnival of the University of Penn sylvania. April 27 and 2S. were sent to colleges and universities of this and other countries today. Foreign institutions invited included Oxford and Cambridge If England; Uni versity of Havana, St. Louis. Univer- sity of the Hawiian Islands. and most of the larger colleges of Canada. Every state university and practical ly all the other big colleges in this country will receive invitations.
 One hundred and twelve colleges and more than 400 schools were rep resented last year. Dr. George W. Or ton, manager of the carnival. said tonight that indications pointed to an even greater number this year.
 The program, Orton said would include 1e relay championships at various distances for colleges and schools two individual champion ships,s a two-mile internaticna race and the pentathlon. in addition to the usual special and field events.

Virginia's s Coach For 1923 Is Yet Undecided

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. Jan. 15. Furman university has been given the opening date on the 1923 football schedule of the University of Vir- ginia and will come to play on Lam- beth field, September 2s.
 Place of the Georgia game, Novem- Der 10. Is still uncertain, but 1t Is more than likely that Virginia will go to Athens again. Last season the game with the Bulldogs was sched- uled for Lambeth field but was later transferred to Athens under an agreement which did not affect the agreement to play there in 1923. The Georgia, Carolina, and Washington and Lee games will be the only ones played away from home.
 Who is to coach Virginia next season is a matter that is yet to be decided. The committee on coaches is gradually eliminating the men be- ing considered and will probably be able to make recommendations to the athletic council in a short time. The schedule follows:
 September 2s, Furman university on Lambeth field.
 October 6, Richmond university on Lambeth field.
 October 6. Richmond university on Lambeth field.
 October 20. Virginia Military insti- tute on Lambeth field.
 October 27, Trinity college on Lam- beth field. 2.
 November 8. Washington and Lee at Lexington.

JUNIOR PAINTERS WILL PLAY 'BAMAl "RATS' SATURDAY.
Simpson ouint to Oppose Former Prep Stars in
 B. A. c. Game

The Purple Tornado of Simpson will have it's hands full during the coming week.
 The feature engagement of the weeks menu will be the struggle with the Alabama freshmen at the Birmingham Athletic club next Sat urday night, although games with Palos, Jones Valley and possibly Jeff ferson County have been scheduled. Coach Crisp of the Alabama fresh men will bring a quintet of the best talent in the prep schools of Alabama last year, now playing on the fresh man team at the university, to the Magic City to give battle to the Simpson Tech lads. Among the out standing stars of the university clan will be Tom Anderson, the Crimson flash of two seasons, whose work has been one of the big features of Centrals play during the last two years. Tom is working with McRae, fast lad from Texas, on the rat five. and their shooting and floor ability makes the Bama lads a feared com- bination.
 With Hudson, Sidney Lanier star; Bill Whorton, Shelby County lumi- nary; several Walker county stars of last season, and others on the list, Coach Crisp will have a strong quintet, one which would ably repre- sent many colleges.
 Simpson is doped to give the fresh men a good fight at least. Coach Reynolds will work his charges on defensive during the week in order to stop some of the shooting of the visitors next Saturday night.
 The Weeks Schedule
 Simpson, in addition. will meet sev- eraI quintets which will test the strength of the Purple Tornado dur ing the first part of the week. Palos, to be played at the E. A. c. Wednes- day night. and Jefferson County. If preliminary negotiations make the game sure, will fe two strong ag gregations to cope with.
 The remainder of the Simpson schedule at present contains some of the strong eontenders in the state. A road trip the last of Janu- ary will include Sidney Lanier and possibly Greenville and Wetumpka. An exchange of games with Bessemer and duo of games with Alliance in saHy probability will complete the Schedule.

EXPERIENCED MEN FOR WOODLAWN'S FIRST CAGE QUINT

Woodlawn's Junior Colonels are counting on making their first bas- ketball season as much Of surprise as was their initial grid year. though their doing so would not be as big z a dope upset as their last named feat. The Fasteners have good ma terial, much of it experienced Cen. tral scrubs of 1922-23.
 Captain Louis Sellers and Ruble Moore both saw quite a bit of serv- ice under Meyers last year. and their experience together will be a big factor in Woodlawn games this sea son. Both are remarkable shots. while Sellers is one of the finest foul shooters of the district. He Is likewise hard to handle and they make a really fine, though rater light. pair of forwards. Bancroft and Larkin will make them step for their posts, however. Brunner and Searle are two other good forwards.
 Mitchell Burns will be the center and the big boy is expected to be a star. His floor work Is especially good, his shooting not being any too certain. Allen Moore, whose splen- did work at Central will be remem bered, has been used both at center and running guard, but will probably play the latter place. Jim Caw- thorne. football star. is at the other guard, and is a reliable man.

It has been several months since Battling Kelly fought at the B. A. C. and his bout with Finley on January 22, will be something in the nature of comeback. However, Kelly has never fully given up the idea of fol. lowing ring career and says he has kept in fairly good condition by working out at the Y. M. c. A.
 Jimmy Finley is the young ring man whose ring destinies are being handled by Red Herring. Birming- hams sensational lightweight. Fin ley is a welterweight, and has re- gently completed an invasion of Flor ida, on which he won several bouts and much prestige in the Gator State.
 From the old School
 Battling Kelly is an oldtime fa- vorite with Birmingham fans, and seems to have lost none of his fol- lowing among the railbirds. The Bat tier made his start in Magic City boxing circles during the days of Dummy Harrington, Eddie Hanlon, Dixie" Allen and company, and he alone, of that we'll known coterie of battlers, has survived the test of time. at least as far as Birmingham Is concerned.
 Finley. on the other hand. is a newcomer to boxing here. He has fought at the B. A. c. once. knock ing out Jimmy Cox. serapper from Memphis. Red Herring claims his protege has improved at least 100 per cent since he fought at the B. A. c. Here's what Red has to say concern ing the prowess of Finley:
 Finley Hitting Hard
 You can take it from me. Jimmy is hitting like a mule these days. After I took 10 rounds to outpoint a big tough boy from Texas named Lance, Finley came right along and knocked him cold in bout at Miami.
 Jimmy seems to have found him. self. and we expect him to dust Bat ting Kelly off in proper fashion. And Finley likes to hit 'em hard these days, and let the, boxers look out for themselves.
 How Card Lines Up
 Dave Evans, who is handling the matchmaking while Tommy Tomp- kins Is east with Claude Wilson. gave out an idea as to how the card will line up on January 22. In the semi final boxing match. B.

The entire staff of officers who served during the past year was re- elected, as follows: H. c. RydIng. president: l. M. Crum, vice president; :; R. H. Baugh, treasurer; Al Geohe- gan, cashier; o. L. Carl. secretary. The year of 1922 was great year for the Birmingham Gun club, and its members are predicting just as successful a season of 1923 as last under the leadership of it's old of ficers.
 One of the most important things to be decided at the meeting of the gun club was adoption of the program of tournaments for the year. In ad- dition to several class shooting championships, regular registered journeys are on the program for 1923.
 Tourneys for 1923
 It was decided to stage II regis tered journeys in 1923, consisting of singles and doubles championships, as well as some novel feature events to be staged. These journeys will be open to any amateur shooter.
 Handicaps for members only. II in number. have been scheduled for the year, while an added bird distance handicap for members only will also be staged. This last event will be for a handsome trophy to be awarded it's winner
 On February a one-day registered tournament will take place. The program will consist of 200-target event from the 16-yard line. 20 pair

PULLMAN, Ala. Jan. 13.-(Spe- cial.)-Cullman High school has se- cured a competent basketball coach, Harvey S. Pugh of Oshkosh.

 Zach Walker, last seasons captain, has been doing, splendid work thus far, and should be the teams high scorer this year. He is doing his usual good work on foul shooting. Zach's great all-round work is ex- pected to make him a candidate for all-state honors. Hildreth and Me Kain are having a hot run for the other berth, with others far from out of the running.
 Capt. John English has been used at both center and guard and Is run ming well at either position. He Is developing into a good shot and should be a splendid captain for the aggregation. Dan Martin, from last year, will likely again be the reg ular center. however. Country Lowery has come through in great style at sticking guard thus far and will probably handle that place.

CENTRAL QUINTET
 TO OPEN AGAINST MORRIS CAGE FIVE

The Central Crimsons open their cage schedule against the Mortimer Jordan aggregation of Morris here Thursday afternoon at the B. A. c. in what is doped to be pretty tough initial engagement. The Cen tralites have come along rapidly of late and 1t is hoped to put out team that will compare, in some measure, with the unbeaten record of the past two years.a~ Ps sstfn- ssfifs
 The team. while still rather un- formed, has taken on a fairly accu- rate line for the first five places. A. c. Young and Ralph Mills are working at the forwards at present. with Gordon and Abe Jaffe giving them close run. The latter two are equally as good. If not better shots, but do not work as well in other de- partments.
 Cy Anderson has about clinched the center place, though Jim Smith and Price are giving him a run for it. Cy Is developing into a really fine pivot man. The guards are all in a tumble still, though Harry Holder and Sanford look to be the first string pick at present. Will liamson, Harry Jaffe, Bowden and others are still fighting hard for these berths
