Stribling To
 Box McTigue Return Bout
Negotiations Complete For Another Match Between
 Fighters

NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 15.--Negotia- tions for a return engagement between Mike McTigue. Iisht-heavyweight cham pion, and Young stribiing, Georgia boxer, to be held in the First regiment armory in the last week in March or the first week in April, virtually have been completed, promoters announced today. s
 The match will be for 12 rounds and under the New Jersey boxing laws. which do not permit decisions. strib- ling could gain his veteran rivals crown only through a knockout or by winning on a foul.
 Contracts are expected to be signed next Tuesday at conference in New ark between promoters and rival man agers-"Pa" Stribling, who guides the fistic destinies of his son, and Paddy Mullins, who has taken McTigue un- der his managerial wing. The date has not yet been settled, according to Babe Culnan. one of the promoters, although Stribling was quoted today as saying March 1 had been agreed upon,
 Financial terms were not disclosed, but 1t was understood they had been agreed to by both fighters. It was un- derstood Mcrrgue was to get $10 900 with a percentage privilege.
 McTigue and his youthful rival fought a 12-round draw in a rtoutous bout at Columbus. Ga.. last, October ter, which McTigue claimed he fought with broken left hand, Striblins has eagerly sought a return match.
 The youngster easily defeated Dave Rosenberg, well known middleweight, at Newark. on New Years day, and i'm pressed critics in his first metropolitan performances.

AUBURN GIRLS
 DEFEAT LOCALS

The Pantherettes of Birmingham Southern college lost their game to the Auburn Co-eds at the Birmingham Ath- letic club Friday night by the narrow margin of lonesome field goal. which was thrown from near the middle of the floor by Brown. the Auburn center. The score was 10 to 8.
 The game was hotiy contested all the way through, and was featured by the close guarding of both the teams. Green and Williams, for the Pantherettes, played an excellent guarding game, be- ing on hand whenever one of the Tigerettes got the ball anywhere in the neighborhood of the Auburn goal. Close shots were almost impossible for the visitors, and they gained their lead only when they resorted to the long shots.
 The two Tigerettes who were given the responsibility of. defending the goal of the Plainswomeni were as strong at this part of the game as were the two daughty Pantherettes. The Bir- mingham- Southern girls always ran into great difficulty when they got near their goal, and their shots from close range were few and far between. Price and Young were the Auburn cause of the low score of the Pan- therettes.
 Grain Piays We'll
 Grain at center for the Birmingham Southern aggregation did good work consistently and without a siow-up for even e second of the time that she was in the game. She did well at both the defensive and offensive and was very quick at getting on the defense when she saw the possibility of the Auburn cites getting possession of the ball. Brown was the high scorer of the evening and was responsible for the goal that brought the Women of the Plains the victory. At the end of the regular playing time the score was tied and an extra period of five minutes duration was played in order to break the tie. Having found their efforts at getting short shots vain Brown began to try the long range shots and finally looped beauty from near the middle of the floor which won the game. The lineup:
 Pantherettes-Manar 6) and stans- bury (0. forwards; Cannon, center; Green and Williams. guards. Sub | stitues, Grain for Cannon.

Meet
 Tiger Five
 On Saturday
Auburn And B. A. C. Game Expected To Be Close One
 Tonight At 8:30

The Auburn five will meet the B. A. c. Blues at the B. 4. C., Saturday night at s:s0 o'clock. A hard fought game is expected to result from this meeting of the Clubbers with the Plainsmen. The Tigers have not turned in as many victories as Is. the usual thing with Auburn lives but such has been the case with the Birmingham boys as well and the two teams ought to meet on fairly equal grounds.
 The Blues have had three days in which to get themselves all set for this game and have been taking ad- vantage of their opportunity. The workouts have been good ones. and the boys are in good shape, with the ex- ception of Laughinhouse, who is not able to get into this game.
 Montgomery and Leake who are old Alabama men will go into this game with some of the old spirit of rivalry that has always existed between the two state institutions but which the get to expend in actual contest while playing on their college tsams. as ef- forts to arrange athletic contests be- tween these two colleges have 50 far been a failure.
 Gave 'Bama Good Game
 Last week these two boys went against their Alma Matters team, and put up Q great game, keeping the score down well and within the possibility of a club victory until the last whistle blew. If they play against their old time rival tonight with any more fight ing spirit than they did against the Crimson machine last week they will be well worth seeing at this time.
 Norman Mandy, Hungry Foyd and nllia EYt1h,,rn a~nArfaA AhnV more than ever in the way of fast basketball in this game and ought to give the Tigers enough to do to keep down the score to make them worthy of their name,
 The meeting of the two Hahn boys will be one of the most interesting features of this game. Each of these boys, has made a reputation as . basketball player that ts an envfable one and seeing the two playing against each each other will be an unusual attraction.

Alabama Has Little Trouble In Defeating Yellow
 Jackets. 3l-24

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 15-(spe- ciai.) Crimsons of Alabama did not have much trouble in beating Geor- gia Tech here tonight by a score of s1 to A. But the crowds saw just about the fastest, most thrilling game seen here this year.
 The gym was simply packed to wit ness the contest, about 2,0O0 people get ting into every nook and cranny pos sible. The floor stands and the upstairs were crowded and all passages were the same way. The band was out in full force and kept footing 'em up, and on the floor the Yellow Jackets and the Crimsons were straining at the leash.
 "Baby" Roane and 'Pig" McClintock gave great exhibitions of the cage game here tonight, Roane was the chief of- fensive strength for Tech, anad dropped in . total of 13 points. Five of them were field goals from angles that were extremely difficult. McClintock did not score but five points, but his agsres- ysiveness made up for everything. He was continually behind the oval, and was fighting every minute he was in the game. McGauley and Stabler shone brightly.
 The game started off with both teams making furious efforts to gain the lead. But 1t was one two each way until far into the half. Neither team shot a field
 
 and McGauley looped one. Then the fight started for the lead and continued until 'Bama spurted and the half ended 18 to IT in favor of 'Bama.
 Tech came back strong in the second half, and threatened to even the score. Roane was running wild and Matheson dropped in Q couple of baskets. But 'Bama was not beaten. kept plugging away. After ten minutes of playing, the score was 25 to 16. Towards the end of the game, several Crimson subs were sent in and the play of the Crimsons darkened for minute, the crowd be- came tense but the end arrived quick enough, 'Bama again played havoc shooting free ones making a total of six out of IS in the first half and SCOT ing five in the second. Tech scored six free ones throughout the game.
 The game tonight is the next to the last one at home for the Crimsons, a game against A. A c. here next Friday night alone remaining. Y Here's the facts: Alabama--McGauley (9), Stabler (10), Cohen. forwards: Car ter (captatn) CD, Stabler, center; Hud- son, McClintock (6, Propst. salmon, guards.
