WILSON MAY LEAD
HIS PARTY IN NEW

Democrats Consider Urging
ex-PreSident to Direct
Campaign,
BIZ United Press

81 Unted Press
WASHINGTON. April 14--With
Republican leaders split into five
groups on the Issue of Americas par
ticipation in European affairs, a num-
Der of leading Democrats are con-
eidering making a request to former
President Wilson to assume leader
ship Of a new League Of Nations
fight
He would not be expected to deliver
speeches, but simply to write letters
and statements, and to let 1t be known
that he was rallying all the friends of
the league.
The movement has received impe-
tus through the making public of a
letter written few days ago by Mr..
Wilson to Representative Rouse, Ken
lucky, chairman of the Democratic
congressional campaign committee. In
that letter Mr.. Wilson showed himself
as firmly opposed as ever to a piece
meal or conditional entrance by the
United States into the league.
The letter follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Rouse:
In reply to your letter of March
%, let me say that I approve not OF
the conditional. but of the uncOn-
ditional adhesion of the United
States to the world court set up under
the auspices Of the League of Ma
tons, though I think It would be
more consistent with the fame Of the
United States for candor and courage
TO become a member OF the League
OF Nations and share with the other
members the full responsibilities
which its covenant involves.

PANTHER CO-EDS
TO MEET AUBURN
GIRLS ON FRIDAY

The first important girls basket
bali game of the season will be
staged Friday night, January IL. at
the Birmingham Athletic club, when
the Birmingham Southern college
co-eds meet the Auburn Tfgerettes.
The Auburn girls beat. the local
cagers out by score, of 81 to 8.
when they met in the Auburn gym
a week before Christmas. However,
Coach Ben Englebert and his team
are putting from two to, three hours
of grilling practice in daily In order
to beat the Auburnettes on Friday
night.
Coach Englebert has had his team
on the floor daily since Christmas.
and has been putting them through
two and three hour workouts with
very little rest. The girls have re-
spondedi"to a man" and have suf-
fered his driving with the one idea
in their head, Get Auburn"-that's
their slogan.
The team has improved wonder
fully since Christmas. Mary Brins-
kelle is hard worker who has de-
veloped into aawonder with the ball.
She can drlbble and shoot with the
style of boy, and can be figured
in as hard man" for Auburn to
handle. Elizabeth Green has also
been showing up good at guard.
while Anna Neese can be depended
on to do her usual good shooting
and playing at center.
The game will start at $40. The
game is sure to be thriller as Az

which "Cutey" Brown and. Kate

! ERVIN'S BLUES TO
| FACE ATLANTA A.C.
GAME SATURDAY
B. A. C. to Invade Court OF
Ancient Foe the Present
Week

With the bitter lesson of Saturday
deeply imbedded in their brains the
B. A. C. Blues this week will get
down C real work in preparation for
their contest in Atlanta with the
strong A. A. c. quintet of Joe Bean.
While the loss to the Crimson
spoiled the perfect record of the To-
Gals. it in nc way deeply injured
their morale The Blue definitely OUT
played their antagonists in every de-
partment save that Of shooting, and
unfamiliarity with the court may ac-
count for that.
There is every indication that the
club will retaliate when Alabama
comes here for their return engage
ment., AT home on. their court and
with their own baskets at which to
shoot the 1Ervinites ought to even
matters with the Capstoners.
In the meantime the most critical
contest of the year is possibly that
next Saturday night. The Cracker
aggregation, as usual. is well to the
fore in Southern cage circles and
victory over them would almost GER
tainly mean the series and clear
road to a corking title claim.
With Captain Graves, Sullivan.
Bryan, oliver, Bass, Singleton and
others from last year. the Beanmen
are formidable. though the loss OF
Scott, Westmoreland and Morrison
will hurt severely.
The Blues came out of the hard
game at Tuscaloosa in great shape
and have lost none of their cent?
dence in the face of their 25-22 loss.
The team should be ready to 90
when 1t hits Atlanta, and every Bir-
mingham fan is pulling hard for
win over their ancient rivals.

Not all the pleasure in golf is de-

There are real classics of the links.

! ly, too, how deeply the golf bug has
bitten them. We all know of the
player who throws his clubs into the
| lake only to sneak back at night
and fish them out again, and there
| is a record of the ST. Louis fan who
threw in his clubs, pitched the caddy
| into the water after them and leaped
| in himself.
| One of the most Interesting of
| hard bitten devotees of the game 1
ever came personally i'm contact with
| was noted judge in Chicago. lie
| had a NEST pronounced habit of talk
ing to his ball and his clubs. He
Twas master of clear and persuia-
| sive exposition, too. He had this habit
so greatly that l often saw other
members of the club hide in bushes
along the fairway for the reward of
| hearing him address his clubs and
| then his ball before he shot. He
sometimes made this a most anus

1 Figure on Ball
To enable him to Keep his eye on
his bali he resorted to the fantastic
| idea OF having woman's face paint

| can keep my eye on you,' he re-
| marked as he teed up the first ball
so decorated. He abandoned that idea,
however, holding that he could not
resort to much needed profanity now
and then in the girls presence.
This Judge made history with a
browning piece Of oratory known to
this day-as ''the judges oratiGn on

talked most persuasively to his ball
and his clubs and to himself. Finally
/ his patience was exhausted and with
out a word to his companions he
gathered up his clubs and betook
4 himself to the bridge that crosses a
!. water hazard at this hole. AT the
middle Ct the bridge he paused. Hold
ing all his golfing outfit in his hands
he began a speech in his loudest
Ivoice and with impressive gesticula-
lions. With an eloquence that would
have thrilled the vastest audience he
