ante-room beyond which lay the
main hall wherein q hollow in the
floor lay the sarcophagus of the
dead.
THE walls of the tomb were
covered with sacred pictures and
texts essential for the deceased in
the future life.
1.-The prevailing belief was that
the dead king as a companion OF
the sun god Tor rather absorbed in
the sun god), sailed through the
underworld at night in a boat.
Scenes and texts on walls of ex-

age and exact route. The texts
were taken from two books closely
related to each other-'The Book
of Him Who Is in the Underworld
and The Book of the Gates
1.-THE first is divided into twelve
chapters and described the twelve
regions or caverns of the under
world corresponding to the twelve
hours at night.
Examinations on the walls OF
the tomb depict a river, represent

changed four jugs of water into wine.
A figure, remarkable likeness of
William Jennings Bryan, is in the
foreground, fitting one of the jugs
so that thee wine streams upon the
floor. Bryan has look of determi-
nation upon his face.
Another figure. representing An

Battle With Sidney Lanier at
Montgomery Will Be
Prep Classic

Simpson Tech will leave Birming
ham Saturday morning on its first
road trip of the season. -Four teams
will be played on the trip into south
Alabama. The first and most impor-
tant game of the trip will be played
Saturday night in Montgomery,
where the Purple Tornado meets the
Sidney Lanier Poets. Monday night
the locals meet Marbury. Tuesday
night they play at Wetumpka and
Wednesday night they meet the fast
Greenville outfit. Thursday morn
Ing they will report for classes at
Simpson.
The Sidney Lanier game will un-
doubtedly be the most important
game of the season in high school
circles up to date. The. Poets have
one of the best teams of their career
and will be one of the contenders
for state honors. In Kamlnsky they
have one of the best forwards in
high school basketball. He is fast
and deadly shot and an excellent
floor man. Griffith, who is his run
ming mate, is a good man at forward
Brunson, at center, is a long shooter
and good on following up shots. He

outfit to handle.
simpsons Opposition.
Marbury has sent teams to the
state high school tournament for the
last two years. and last season gave
the strong Walker county team a
hard fight. They have practically
all of their men back and will give
Simpson plenty of opposition.

WoodlaWn Meeting EnsIey in
Second Prep Series
Game

Although they have no game he~e
this Weekend, Birmingham Athletic
club Blues have not let up in their
basketball work this week. Tuesday
night will come the first important
home game of the season, the bat
tie with Camp Benning.
The Georgia service school always
turns out first class athletic teams,
participating in all branches of sport.
The basketball team probably does
as much travelling as any other
Dixie quintet each season, and the
army boys have always played great
basketball against the Blues in
previous games here.
Coach Ervins men have been
working hard enough this week to do
something more than just stay in
condition. They have been carrying
on an aggressive training campaign,
and Erwin expects his basketeers to
be in tip top condition Tuesday
night, despite their Today lay-off.
In their last game the Blues at
times showed splendid form, but at
others failed to show any stuff" at
all. In shooting Ervin's men were
less efficient in the game against
Dallas Y. NJ. C. A., and only the fact
that the Blues missed numerous
shots saved the Huntsville boys from
being slaughtered
Coach Erwin is paying particular
attention to shooting this week, and
states that if his defensive is work
ing in good form Tuesday night the
Blues stand a good chance of defeat
Ing Camp Benning.
The same squad is training at the
B. A. c., with only one or two new
arrivals. Ham Stephens and Shorty
Webb of the 1922 Howard coll
lege Bull Dogs have Joined the squad
making six Bull Dogs in all work
ing under Erwin. They are Stephens
Webb. Captain Afford, Stubs, Shores
and Gaylord.
Woodlawn and Ensley meet in the
second game of the Birmingham
high school championship series
Tuesday night. and prep fans are
eagerly awaiting the outcome of the
battle between these two strong local
teams, Ensley defeated Central in the
first game of the city championship
series.

Southwestern Winner
Over Hillians, IL to Is

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 25-(Special)
Bringing a day full of basketball to
a close. Southwestern bounced on
Spring Hill Wednesday night, II to
16, in the fastest. cleanest and best
played game witnessed on a Hill
court this season. Southwestern
won during the last three minutes
of play, Richardson sending through
a field goal followed closely by
Bresies duplication of his feat.
Mcvoy, 80 seconds before the
whistle, rang a field goal, and while
the Hllians and Southwesterners
were still battling for the ball under
the Hills basket. the game ended.
To Bogue and Richardson belong
the honors, for they accounted for
u and II, respectively, of their
teams points. olllnger played
good guarding game. while Bresie
and Lange also played well.

batters on their ears by that kind of
pitching.
Rusie, by the way, is now assistant
Waterman at the Polo grounds. Dan
| Brouthers is the other Waterman.
Often we get together and talk over
old times. Always have had deep
sentiment for veteran ball players,
and l try to get them good place
any time there is chance.
1 For the enlightenment of those
| who. perhaps, are not so familiar
with baseball terms / had better ex-
plain that in the lingo of ordinary
pitching. we never recognize but two
terms-a fast ball and a curve.
All Twisters Curves
All balls that are twisted out of
their natural course are called curves.
The outcurve, the drop, down shoot,
and so on, are simply a curve ball to
the professional player. To us there
is no such thing as an incurve. That
| is what we call fast ball. OF course,
am assuming that the pitcher is
right handed. A so-called incurve is
nothing more than ball thrown in
a natural way with great force. A
ball thus thrown will naturally curve
inward, to a certain extent. If it takes
a sharp jump. due to the speed. we
call that the break on his fast one"
IN OlneT WORDS, the lHSIOOl Is the Hdl-
ural course of ball. A curve is
unnatural, due to reverse twise be-
ing put on it.
So, when you hear ball players
speak of a curve or a fast one you
will understand that curve" means
anything that takes an unnatural
bend. One thrown naturally and with
great speed is fast one.
The Slow Ball
OF course there is the slow ball,
which comes under distinct classifi-
cation, as does the spitball. The lat
ter is not allowed except by pitchers
who were already using it at the
time the rule was passed to abolish
it. Every team has to register its
spitball pitchers and notify the league
heads in advance of the season. I'm
! less a man is so registered as a spit
ter" he Is not permitted to pitch that
ball In time all of them will disap-
pear. Youngsters are not allowed to
use that freak of the pitching art and
the spitball itself will soon become
obsolete.
Personally, I never like the spit
ball because I think it affects the arm
of the man who uses 1t. Just the
same, l have had some spitball pitch
eres. Bugs Raymond was one of the
best In the world. MatneWSOn Coulu
ipitch the splitter, but rarely ever used
it in game. He never considered 1t
part of his equipment
Thirty years ago we had some mas
terful pitchers. In the next chapter
| | want to discuss some of them in
connection with the Temple cup
| series.

The locals defeated this fast team

that team for championship. For this
reason, if no other. the visitors will
make desperate effort to take the
game from the locals.
