 Urges Tourney Play.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 16.-The entrance of team in basketball tournament, no matter how poor it's chances are considered. means much to tho welfare of the combination and may mean the development of first class aggregation during the next season, is the opinion of J. S. McCants. principal of Sidney Lanier High school here.
 If J was coaching a team, no mat ter what the distance was, if I could possibly raise the money to get my team there, they would go," said MT. McCants. for I believe that the amount of experience they get out of the tournament play more than re- pays the loss at that time."
 The Lanier principal said that he believed that the tourney play. sec ing the styles of so many first class aggregations perform gave the boys more confidence in their own ability. taught them more about the game and in reality meant more to the team than the rest of the entire season.
 T hope to see the tourney go over in Montgomery next week in suc- cessfui way, as I am sure it shall and expect to see the meet an annual event for the State High School Ath- letic association, which means so much fer cleaner and better athletics in the state.

ENSLEY TO MEET
 WOODLAWN OUINT IN CRUCIAL GAME
Regular Line-ups to Open Game at 8::30 0 Clock
 Saturday Night

Woodlawn and Ensley High meet Saturday night at the B. A. c. in game that should go long way to- ward settling the city championship. Woodlawn has been beaten once this year and that was by Ensley. Ems ley has Teen beaten once and that by Central. Woodlawn has beaten Cen tral, so the city championship is prac- tically at stake. The game starts at S:30 o'clock A win for Ensley will elinch the title for the Jackets.
 Both teams will enter the game in fine condition. Ensley came through her hard battle with Central High in fine shape. Zach Walker was forced from the game in the first half of the Central game and thereby weakened the team. He is a tower of strength on the offensive and his fast play causes more than the usual number of fouls to be called on him. Burns, husky Woodlawn center. is the strong man of the Eastside aggregation and will be depended upon heavily in the Saturday night game.
 Both teams have been working hard this week in preparation for the game and are to be well matched.
 Ensley will start the same lineup she started the Central game with Zach Walker and Malloch will start at forwards, while Martin will play center. The defensive game will be

GLENNA COLLETT
 PLAYS GREAT GOLF TO WIN TOURNEY

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla Feb. 15. (By Associated Press) Witnesses by what was said to be the largest gallery that ever followed a golf match on the Palm Beach club links, and under weather conditions that were ideal, Miss Glenna Collett of Providence, R. l., national woman's golf champion, had no difficulty here today in winning the midwinter golf tournament from Miss Dorothy Klotz of Chicago, up and to go, three holes being halved.
 Perfect driving and the spectacular approaches of the champion won round after round of applause.
 In the second flight Mrs. George Bobyn of Boston defeated Mrs. E. J. Northwood of Toronto, and 2.
 Asked after the match to give a reason for her subnormal play in to- days final flight, Miss Klotz said she had an off day, due in part to the size of the gallery and the fact that she was playing against almost per- feet golfing by the champion.
 Miss Klotz displayed none of the long driving power which was fea- ture of her preliminary matches Twice she drove into bad traps, to get out of one of which required three strokes for recovery and many of her shots were topped, while the golfing of Miss Collett was flaw less.
 Miss Collett, in winning todays match, becomes 1923 champion of Florida. The national title she holds was not at stake. She leaves here next week for Belleair, Fla, where she will take part in the woman's

The Birmingham Athletic club stuck her finger into the southern championship pie Friday night when she triumphed over the Golden Tor nado from Georgia Tech in a mighty struggle, 37 to 31. It was the fastest game seen on the B. A. c. court this year and the whirlwind finish of Georgia Tech was all that the cog nomen implies. Weak -hearted fans thought the Blues had played out of their class in defeating Alabama here Tuesday night but their game against Georgia Tech showed that they had reached the pinnacle and are planted firmly there.
 From out of a constellation of stars there shines two more brilliantly than the rest. For thetr fighting spirit shown throughout the entire game never let-up, Hub Ham and Clem Laughinhouse rose above the rest. Laughinhouse was forced from the game in the first half with four personal fouls but he took with him the honor of having scored the prettiest field goal of the evening. He broke loose, dribbled the entire length of the field and dropped the ball into the basket Hahn was forced from the game in the second half, but too late for Tech; he counted five field goals before leav- ing.
 Roane and Jenks were the high scorers from field for Tech. Jenks pitched three field goals in the sec- end half during Techs desperate rally. Matheson, substitute forward, narrowed the margin in the last few minutes with three foul goals out of a possible four. Roane caged eight a11 three field goals were scattered. Staton played a good game at guard.
 Vied for HOnors

his wonderful personality, his sixth baseball sense, his actions on the field. These things cannot be ex- pressed in figures.
 l have before me Wagner's batting record from the time he began in 1897 up to 1910. In those 13 years he had a batting average of .34S He didn't stop there by any means. After that, though, he gradually be- gan to slow up. In 1900 he had his toughest rivalry. To lead the Ma tional league In hitting he had to top an average of .37S by Elmer Flick and .366 by Willie Keeler. He did so by hitting 1880.
 Hans Wagner was also blessed with that peculiar thing which for 8 better name we call personality There was something magnetic about him. He was just as popular in one city as another. Even in the smaller leagues his name was by word. He was great drawing card. Whether the home team won or lost the fans wanted to see Wagner.
 There are so many instances of his greatness that l could mention, space prohibits me going into them. It so happens that l have with me clipping from sport column edited by a young man named Wright out in Omaha. It is a good illustration of what everybody thought. He says in part:
 A Lightning Play
 I've just seen the worlds great est ball player-and that goes as 1t lays-Hans Wagner 1 saw Wagner at his best, playing against Chicago. To win meant to clinch first place. In the first, with one Cub out and men on first and second Hoffman hit the ball mile a min ute over second, seemingly for hit. With a 10-foot leap, crouching close to the ground, he tore across the diamond and fairly hurled himself on the ball as it was passing. With one movement, seemingly, he tossed the ball to second where Miller re- celved 1t and whipped 1t to first. turning back Hoffman and complet- ing as dazzling double play as ever l saw"
 MT. Wright points out that Wag- ner's great hands made it possible for him to do things with the ball that were impossible for most men. And he was correct.
 Yes, Wagner was the greatest of all players. l intend to put him on my All America Champion team for all time, which I will present in later chapter.
