AUBURN ALUMNI
 CALL MEETING Gathering Thurs day Night To Analyze Ath-
 letic Situation

Auburn alumni will hold most inn portant gathering at the new Chamber of Commerce building on Fifth avenue on Thursday night at o'clock, accord- ing to the announcement of Henry T. Debardeleben, president of the Jefferson county unit of the State Alumni associa- tion.
 Mir. Debardeleben, in announcing plans for the meeting of all Auburn alumni, stated that there was a good deal of dissatisfaction oyer the entire state over the, showing of the Tigers in their re- cent gridiron campaign, and that dis cussion of the athletic situation would be a big item at the gathering. The old Auburn spirit which carried it's elev- ems to championship heights year after year has not been manifested in recent struggles, and that something was wrong had been agreed upon by local Auburn men, according to Mir. Debardeleben's statement.
 One of the chief purposes of the meet ing would be to make suggestions and analyze the athletic situation in the will lage of the Plains, it was stated. To Be Big Gathering
 MT. Debardeleben asked that all Au- burn men, men who had the athletic welfare of the institution vitally at heart, be present at the meeting, and that by doing so a valuable service would be rendered. It was stated that considerable number of alumni from elsewhere over the state would assemble with the local organization Thursday night, and that the actions decided upon at the gathering would be state wide in their scope.
 The alumni are anxious to bring about closer cooperation between grad uates and the alma mater, with the big thing in view to make Auburn again name to be feared in southern athletics and restore the Tiger of the Plains to it's one-time pre-eminence in Dixie cir cles. The Tigers have just ended rather disastrous season, although they had one of the most difficult schedules ever presented to a southern eleven. How ever, the last four games of the sched- ule, which were slated to be the hard est; were lost by the Plainsmen. First, Vanderbilt's great machine downed the Tigers in Nashville. Then the Green Wave of Tulane swept over the mangled form of the jungle beast, followed by the losing of to decision to the Bulldogs of Georgia, one of Auburn most time-honored foes. The Golden Tornado of Tech finally brought the season to a close for the Tigers with another to 0 count.

The Blues of the Birmingham Attn letic club will tackle their first oppon- ents on the basketball floor on Decem- Der 26, with Baylor university of Texas furnishing the opposition, according to an announcement of Coach Erwin Mon- day.
 For several years, the Clubbers have opened their basketball season with Baylor, the Texans usually making an annual pilgrimage through the south land during the Christmas holidays. They always bring a fine cage combi- nation, one which rates among the top notchers in Texas collegiate circles, and the locals have for several seasons back had, hard battle on their hands in the opening clash. This year, re- ports from the camp of the Baylor cak- CTS, according to B. A. c. officials, are to the effect that the Texans will be stronger than ever, and local court fans are sure of real struggle at that time.
 Attractive Schedule
 The B. A. c. will likely have one of the most attractive schedules they have ever had, according to Manager Bill Leighton, who has already arranged a number of contests for the locals. With the outlook for one of the strongest teams in many seasons, the club off cials have decided to take on number of the stronger teams of the southland and dish out great cage menu for local basket fans.
 One of the most interesting prospects on the schedule is the possibility of a game with the Centre Colonels, and this seems very probable, Manager Leighton stated The Centre stars journey south to play Alabama toward the middle of the season, and there is every chance for getting the Kentucky team to stop over for a game in Birmingham. The team con aims many of the brilliar

7 To Howard (Toby) Stubbs. turbulent son of the Bulldog athletics for almost four years now. has fallen the task of moulding together winning basket hall combination for Howard during the coming season. Stubbs will have com plete charge of the coaching, super vision of scheduling games and of other duties that fall to the lot of college basketball coach.
 Decision to turn the basketball sit suation over to Stubbs was reached by Howard officials recently, although an- nouncement to that effect was not made until Monday. Stubbs, star perform CT on the varsity quintet. was chosen by Howard athletic officials because of his splendid record in athletics and his thorough knowledge of the court game, it was stated.
 Basketball practice at Howard will be delayed until after the Christmas recess, Coach Stubbs stated Monday afternoon. Term examinations have just been completed at Howard, and the time remaining before Christmas was not judged sufficient to warrant calling cut the candidates until the first of the year.
 Schedule Incomplete
 The schedule, while incomplete as yet, will probably contain games with the usual basketball opponents for Howard, namely, Birmingham Athletic club, Birmingham Southern, Camp Renning, Auburn, etc. The first game will be played early in January, Stubbs stated Monday.
 The Bulldogs will do their practicing on the Birmingham Athletic clubs court this year, it was announced. Practice sessions will be held in the aft ernoohs, through courtesy of the Bir- niingham Athletic club officials.
 Although star performer has been lost in Ham Stevens, high scoring for ward last year, material on hand seems very promising from a preseason sur vey. Tive veterans will return for an-

other season with the team, namely. Captain Scokel, Stubbs, Knight, Wells and Wear. Stevens, Garfield and Dar- den are listed among the missing as the new season approaches.
 Several New Men
 There will be quite few new men to fill in the gaps left by the departed members of last years squad. Most promising in the bunch seem to be Chuck Speir, familiar figure in Bir- mingham Athletic club state high school tournament circles two or three years ago, and Lank Hugenschmidt. Speir is a guard and Hugenschmidt a center, both of whom were ineligible last sea- son, through the freshman rule.
 Just what combination Coach Stubbs is figuring on is uncertain. but there arc several which can be tried. Cap tain Scokel will be at one forward, witl, Wells or Knight having a good show at the other. Stubbs can play either cen ter or a corking good game at forward. If Hugenschmidt comes through, Stubbs will probably shift to forward. Knight also had some experience at center last year.
 Good Defensive Men
 Wells, Wear and Knight, all of whom made their letters last year, can per form at guard. Wells is fine shot, while Knight is a good floor man. The aforementioned Speir played bearcat of a game at backguard with the re serves last season, and will probably be listed as candidate for that po- sition this season.
 Coach Stubbs stated that he expects squad of around twenty or twenty five men to report when the first prac- tice is called shortly after the Christ mas recess.
 Hank Knight, who made his letter as varsity basketeer last season, is man. ager of the 1925 quintet, and states that his schedule for the coming season is almost complete and will be ready for announcement shortly

MUST ACCEPT, SEEMS
 GERMANY'S OPINION
Press Calls Attention That Fight
 ing Is Impossible
By Tn. Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Berlin, April 10.-The bulk of the editorial comment published in the Berlin newspapers today inclines to the opinion that the report of Briga- dier General Dawes expert reparation committee constitutes basis for ne sotiations. Only in the isolated in stances of the nationalistic organs is opposition to the recommendations voiced, and even there the familiar cry of ''unacceptab ble" which has greeted past plans is wholly lacking.
 Hugo Shines Deutsche Allgemcine Zeltung declares 1t behooyes the Ger man government to give the report objective and intensive examina- tion." yorwaerts says its rejection would be a catastrophe piece Of stu pidity on which the French imperial ists'. are unquestionably speculating.
 The question which now confronts any German government, the socialist organ continues, ''is: can it march into the Ruhr and drive out the French? If not, then there is only one path to freedom left us, and that in indicated in the experts report The question is merely whether the liberation of the occupied territory shall be ac- complished by guns and payments. To reject the experts report is impos- nbie, and what one cannot reject one must accept"
 The only organ which suggests the recommendation should be bluntly rejected Is the Nationalist Deutsche ZeitunE, which declares they would involve the epslavement of Ger many"
 Germania, organ Of the center par ty, takes the view that the proposed burden upon Germany are eXtraordi- narfYy heavy and doubts whether they would be bearable. It thinks that the report forms a basis for international discussion which, If conducted in the proper spirit, has prospects of sue cess. This view is shared by the Nos- aischs zeitung. the Tageblatt and the Lokal-Anzeiger.
 The Monarchist Kreue ZeitunG, while complaining Of the heaviness Of the burdens. does not advocate com plete rejection. The discussions, 1t asserts. must be preceded by the evac- uatton Of the Ruhr. the fixing Of Ger manys total reparation obligations and the guaranteeing Of her financial sovereignty.
 All the newspapers are pleased to And the experts taking the view that the restoration of Germany's eco- homie and financial sovereignty in tho occupied territory Is essential if the peoposals are 70 be carried out.
