Club Team After | Scalp
 Of Atlanta
Blues Practicing Hard For Game With A. A. .sC.
 Saturday

The B. A. c. basketesrs put in an- other good workout Tuesday night in preparation for their game with the At- ianta Athletic club. to be played at the B. A. c. Saturday night at s:3o o'clock. The boys were all in good shape, except "Doc" Laushinhouse. and he was able to be up on the floor in uniform and to take part in some parts of the practice.
 In addition to this idea that is evi- dsntiy having an influence upon the spirits of these men. there come. the the boys of the Atlanta Athletic club ad- ministered the clubbsrs when they met on the A. 4. c. court earlier in the season. This recollection has aroused the fighting spirit of the team some- what, and they arc preparing to re- peat the old, old story and efve the boys from our rival city licking for licking, as they done. in seasons past.
 Blues win Twice
 The 34-to-16 victory of the 1922 Blues over the, Atiantans was the feature of that season. The ClubberS of 1923 ikswise trfumphsd over the A. A. c. team after having lost to them in At- lanta. The game of last year was . gAne in which the guarding o1 the teams was closer than, in the prsvioul year, until the last few minutes of play. and then the guarding was not a looee as the score would indicate, as several of the points that counted were made on free throws.
 The local team got into the lead last year with such . drive that they. were able to get their majority up into the teens, but the sending in of second cessful on cut the lead down to . mar gin of seven points to the final score, 23 to 80, in 30. in the Blues favor.
