Bessemer@Hi will open it's basket ball season Thursday night against the Jones Valley five. Coach Col Her is expecting In the course of time a stronger team than that of last year. With McNeil, at center, a better man could not be found for this position as he can usually get the jump on any of his opponents. Charlie Ray and Pots Lowery, cap tain and alternate captain. are a nice well on their passing and shooting. Slick" Edmundson and Cotton" Parsons are the two guards, Slick" being used on the offense, although very small he is about the fastest and best shot on the floor.
 The five man defense is being used and makes the team stronger than usual. The five named are from last years squad and are being given a hot race by Texas and Ward, two newcomers into camp; both are fast and seem, to know the game. Ja- cobs and Cunningham are also doing well and hope to make the squad. Others that are out and showing up well in practice are: Herbert, Sides, McGriff and Fishbach. Bessemer will take on some, of the best teams in the state, some of those are: Alliance, Leeds, Jones Valley, Oak Grove, Sneads Seminary, Simpson, Blocton, Jefferson County, Howard Reserves and probably Tuscaloosa and Selma Teams wanting games write Mir Felton Collier, Bessemer Hi School, BesSemer, Ala.

BRETON IS STILL 4 WORLD BEATER

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Jack Brit ton. nearly 40 years old. trifle paunchy about the middle where his tender spot lies, Is still the greates boxer in the world. Although Brit ton was winded at the end of his young K. o. Kaplan in one of the small clubs Tuesday night. he won the decision and the whole boxing colony was talking of nothing but Brittons wizardry.
 The fight was held at the "Pioneer Athletic club" It was what is known as "a secret Bout" which means that it was not well advertised and did not draw any customers. However, those who did wander into the old horse market were privileged to watch an exhibition of boxing which equailed the work of Joe Cans at his best.

 Britton stopped Kaplan's swings with just the slightest prod of a glove tip on the shoulder, setting his man off-balance for mere in stant while he countered with rapid left jabs. The old man, no longer able to go IS rounds at top speed, was nevertheless the most highly skilled exponent of the art of box ing that New York has seen in many years.
 Incidentally. the crowd howled at Britton part of the time because he was unable to knock out the sturdy, youthful fighter who couldn't lay a glove on him.
