TECH MEN GIVE
 TEAM BANQUET Alexander Says Wycoff Best Player Tech
 Ever Had

As is typical of all alumni associa- tions of Georgia Tech to support their alma mater and athletic teams, the Birmingham organization held a ban Quet at the Moulton hotel in honor of the Georgia Tech cross country team Saturday night. Though they did not win the Birmingham Athletic club invi- tation meet Saturday afternoon, the alumni are proud of their representa- tives because they gave the best that they had and scored second place.
 Believing in the motto of, "Whethel you win or lose it is how you play the game" they have cause to be proud of their track men as well as their men on the football team this year.
 At the banquet, Charlie Porter, toast master, again led the graduates in the old Tech yells that were so famous dur. ing their college days when he acted in the capacity as cheer leader and proved to be the best that Tech has ever had.
 Speeches were heard from Coach Griffith, track coach, and Coach Alex ander covered the past football season showing the Tech boosters in Birmlng ham where this had been a successful season for the Georgia school, and out lined the developments in the athletic department during the past season.
 Coach Alexander said that he believed that they had for the captain of theli football team next year the best foot ball player that has ever been to Geor gia Tech and one of the best, if not the best, of southern gridiron men. Thf alumni here are back of the Tech teams and are expecting big things again next Vpar

CARL IS WINNER
 OF BIG TROPHY
Crum Wins 100 Target Match
 With 94 Breaks

On account of a great many of the old regulars being away on hunting trips, there were smaller crowd than usually at the Birmingham Gun club Saturday afternoon to compete for the watchchain and charm. This was the last shoot on this handsome trophy, as 12 shoots were held during the year and 12 men have a win on this trophy.
 Saturday afternoon when the shoot was finished it was found that l. NJ. Crum and 0. l.. Carl were tied on the trophy, which necessitated a shoot off. In the shoot off Crum and Carl tied on 24 out of 9, but Carl having more added targets than 'Crum, gave the last win to Carl.
 The 100 target match was a win for l. NJ. Crum, who went out with 94 breaks. Second place went to o. l.. Carl with 91 dead birds, while J. P. Dovel landed third place with 80. This was a most remarkable score for Mir. Dovel as he is unable to stand at the traps and shoots sitting in chair, which is a great handicap ill swing ing after the little clays.
 The 50 target match was a tie be- tween Crum and Carl with AS each out of their 50. Second place in this match went to l.. L. Stephenson with the score of 44, while J. r. Dovel landed third place again with 43 breaks. The longest runs made were Crum 30 straight, Dovel 31, and Carl 30.

BOBBY ENTERS
 FIGHT FOR LIFE
Beloved Leader Of DOd- gers Must Undergo
 Operation

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 13.-Wil- bert Robinson, the living refutation of Macklyn Arbuckle's gloomy assertion that nobody loves fat man," has en- tered fight for his life. Uncle Robby, manager of the Brooklyn ball club and veteran of the historic Baltimore Oriole crew which included John McGraw, Hughey Jennings, Kid Gleason, Willie Keeler and Jim Corbett's kid brother, Joe, was informed today that he would have to undergo an operation Monday at Union Memorial hospital to relieve condition of congestion in one of his lungs, resulting from an attack of pleurisy.
 No longer young fellow and weak ened by the six-weeks' siege, Robby will be under handicap when he enters the operating room. He caught cold in the first place when he over-estimated his resistance and exposed himself too long to the weather while on a hunting trip in the south. When baseball was done, it was always Robby's idea of recrea- tion to get away from the crowds and the shop-talk of the locker room to prowl with his dogs and gun.
 Many Friends
 No other man in the entire baseball business has as many friends as Will bert Robinson. In Brooklyn, the GUS toners would rather have spared any active player from the regular lineup than the roly-poly figure of Uncle Robby, with his specs on his nose, standing on his oak-tree legs in the coacher's box. To them, Robby was the Dodgers and in fact he was more important than any combatant player, for it was conceded that the magic of his fatherly, friendly character in spired two mediocre ball clubs to win two pennants for a town that had never heard the ripple of the bunting until he arrived in Flatbush to take charge.
 The latest report on Uncle RObby was that he was restless and slightly weak CT. He joined the Catholic church few days ago, being baptized in his home with his old friend, Ned Hanlon, man. ager of the Old Champion Orioles, act ing as his godfather.

Schepner, Louisville Star,
 Is Bought By Local Club
Addition Of Third Sacker Rounds Out Baronial
 Infield For Next Season

more than any player who will be brought into the Southern this year, the local management has been dishing forth the shekels during these winter months ill order to give Birmingham winning ball club next season.
 An furthermore, you can count on Johnny Dobbs, the Southern league pilot who has never finished below third place in many many years of service, to put the Barons up in the running. Dobbs went to Memphis last year, and gave the Bluff City a pennanty1n hls first year. Now, from the way the new manager with the aid of the other Ba- ronial officials are gathering together the players. critics and fandom are be- ginning to believe the new Birmingham pilot will duplicate his feat accomplish ed in Memphis.
 A Great Quartet
 The addition of Schepner to line up along with Bowman, Stewart and Hart | ford certainly gives Dobbs quartet of ! infielders who will not be surpassed. Several pitchers have already been purchased to bolster an exceedingly low rated twirling staff, with others to be added, according to plans of the local moguls The outfield has seen two big additions in Griffin, Rochester star, and High, Columbus veteran.
 | One big thing to note in the play CTS who Nave been gathered together by the local officials is that practically eyey one of them have come from leagues which are rated higher than | the SOuthern The American associa- tion. the International league and the Pacific Coast league, which have fur niShed the players, have a classified tion above Dixie's maj jor, and hence 1t l is easily logical that all of them will more than make good in Birmingham. | They should all stand out preeminent- ly, and therefore local fans have q right to think that the Barons will be fight | ing it out for premier honors with the closing acts of the baseball drama hears next September.
 Leave For Memphis
 The Baron officials will leave Bir- mingham Sunday night for Memphis to attend the Southern league meet ing which will be held in that city Monday morning. President w. D. Smith and Secretary Billy West will go from Birmingham, while Manager Johnny Dobbs will join them in the Bluff City.
 It was stated by the local officials Saturday night that only deals were pending and may be closed at the league gathering next week. t"
 It is known that several Barons of last year are slated to be sold. Pete Brausen, third sacker, will, no doubt,, be traded or sold, due to the acquisi- ton of Schepner, and the announcee- ment may come at any time.

All Four Auburn Captains Receive Academic
 HOnOrS

AUBURN, Ala, Dec. 13.-(Special.) ) The four Auburn athletic captains in cluding football, baseball, basketball and track. are numbered among those mak- ing distinction in their collegiate train ing according to announcement recent ly made, following the compilation of the grades for the 1923-24 session. While these academic honors are en- joyed by comparatively few students from year to year, it is probably the first time in Auburn's history that all the Plainsmen captains have recelyed the coveted honors in scholarship.
 J. D. Flats" Lawrecne, captain of the Auburn Tigers football team, is a student in agriculture and has prior to last year received the high awards in scholarship. Lawrence is playing his fourth year on the Tiger football team. being probably the best center ever to play on an Auburn team. His home is Plantersville, Ala. He made all-southern during the past season.
 D. W. "Red" Griffin will serve his second wear as baseball captain dur ing the 1925 campaign. Red is a senior in the college of veterinary and comes from Lineville. Clay county.
 Wallace "Mc" Mckinney, captain of the basketball team, won distinction as member of the junior class in me chanical engineering and is from Mo bile, Ala.
 R. L. Robbie" Locke, elongated pole vaulter and captain of the track team, is another member of the mechan- ical engineering course, and won his honors in his junior year, in 1924-25 Locke is from Montgomery, Ala, but formerly of Mobile.
 The courses represented by the choice of these athletic leaders are among the most difficult in college and the recent awards speak we'll of the rec, ords of training being obtained by those participating in the various branches of athletics at Auburn.

Joe Schepner star third sacker for the Louisville Colonels of the American association for two years and formerly with the Mobile Bears, has been pur- chased by the Barons, according to an announcement by Billy West, secretary of the local club, Saturday.
 This announcement will be hailed with delight by followers of the local club.
 The Baron infield for 1925 is now complete. Bowman, the slugging first sacker for Okland, of the Pacific Coast league, who was purchased by local of ficials at the Hartford convention, will cavort around the initial bag for Bir- mingham when spring zephyrs bring baseball back. Stuffy Stewart, last years manager. and Bruce Hartford, noted over the Southern as the best key stone pair in Dixie, will handle second and short. And now Schepner, one of the outstanding stars of the association, will round out the quartet and probably make the Baronial inner works the strongest in the Southern league.
 Fielding Sar
 Many fans who have followed South ern league baseball for several seasons will remember the flashy Schepner, who was one of the big stars for the Mobile Bears in 1922. He was rated the best fielding third sacker in the loop and the former Mobile star hit 'em in the pinch.
 Schepner is one of the most gifted fielding third basemen in baseball His hitting only has prevented him from Iii hie ,,looa tho ImmnrtDI Is Mobile sold him to the St. Louis Browns in 1919, and in 1920, Schooner began the season as the regular Brown first sacker, but slipped in his hitting and was sold to the Louisville Colonels for which he played until an injury to his knee put him on the bench early last season. Schepner excels in tagging run ners. It is said many Louisville fans attend games just to see Schepner dive into runners and sock them with the ball.
 Personally, no finer fellow than Schooner ever has been in baseball. lie married Mobile girl in 1923. His home is in Pittsburg, but he is spending ! this winter in Mobile.
 LED THIRD SACKERS
 With Louisville, in 1923, the new Baron hit .227 in 159 games and let the third basemen of the circuit il fielding with an average of .954. Th' records show Schepner rapped out 15- hits for total base figure of 1S0 scored runs and drove in 54, and mad 23 sacrifices. In fielding, in which h has always been an outstanding fisur wherever he played, he made 156 put outs and SIS assists with only 23 error for the average of .954.
