Atlant Here In Last Game
 With Locals
Athletic Club Quintet Hopes To Retrieve Previous
 Defeats

The B. A. c. quintet will meet their ancient rivals, the Atlanta Athletic club five, at the B. A. c. Saturday at s:30 p. m. This is the final game of the season for the local Clubbers, the game the game that for many seasons has turned out to be the greatest game of the Blues season.
 Both. last year and the year before, the B. A. c. lost to the Atlanta team in Atlanta and won from them here In 1922, after the local team had suffered a good licking in Atlanta, they came back and fought their way to a glorious victory, by 34 to IS. Last year, the Atlantans won in Atlanta once more and came here doped to win to such an extent that local fans expected noth- ing more than that the B. A. c. would go down to defeat. The Blues won by they held greater Head, but in the last few minutes of play Atlanta pulled
 Atlanta repeated the old, old story this year when the B. A.rC. met them in that city, and won from the Magic City boys by a good margin. The proteges of Coach Erwin have waited patiently for the meeting which will take place tonight. They have not waited in idleness, but have passed away the time with many hard and poppy practices. They have worked out the kinks that held down their scores in the early part of the season and gotten the old machine oiled up for the final battle.
 The game with Auburn, at. the B. A. c. last Saturday night, was 6ne of the best games that has been seen here in quite while, and showed just what the local boys are capable of doing when they get going. The team is doped to be going mucn stronger this week end than it was when it met the Piainsmen, as this marks the peak of their train- ing.
 The lineup for the Blues should be about the same as 1t was last week, and, with the combination working as 1t did at that time, they will show some great basketball.
 The Atlanta team comes here with one of the greatest collection of bas- ketball players that local fans will have the opportunity of seeing again for some time. Bryap, at center, and his running mates, Singleton and Bass, are three of the hardest men to stop in the south, and their defense will be equally as difficult a proposition.
