GAMECOCKS TO
 PLAY BERNARD

The University High school Game cocks, although eliminated Friday night in the north central district tournament in e close. hard fought battle with the strong Tailadega County High of Lin coin, will have several more cage en- counters listed on its schedule.
 -sThe Gamecocks have made an en- viable record thus far in their first season of basketball, having won eight and lost two games, and have at least four more games on their schedule.
 The universities will meet the St Bernard Saints at the Birmingham Athletic club either next Friday night or Saturday afternoon in a return game, the Saints having defeated the Gamecocks in their encounter in Gull man a short time ago, The score of the struggle was 45 to 29, but the Gamescocks are being primed to give the visiting Saints a hard run for the decision this time. It will be the lone appearance of the St. Bernard caRers in the Magic City this season, and con siderable interest is expected in the coming battle.
 Following the St. Bernard game. the Gamecocks have scheduled a rather ex. tended road journey into south Ala bama, meeting at least three and nos. sihIy four teams in the trip. Sidney Lanier. Greenville and Wetumpka are the three teams already definitely scheduled for the itinerary. while there is a strong possibility that Barnes school. of Montgomery, will be added to the list. This will make a hard trip for the rather inexperienced uni versity clan, but they should be in good shape for the quartet of games.
 The road journey will start Wednes. day, February 27, and wind up on the following Saturday.

B. A. (. BLUES BEAT AUBURN
 w EXTRA-PERIOD CONTEST
Score Tied 3232 At End Of Playing Time And Pair Of Foul Goals By Montgomery And Pretty Field Goal By
 ~, Hburn Wins Game For Locals

The Auburn Tigers and the B. A. c. Blues fought out one of the hardest. fastest and closest games that has ever been played on the B. A. c. court Sat urday night and won, 36 to 32. The game ended with the score tied at S2 and an extra five-minute period was necessary to break the tie. The game was not lacking in speed in the early minutes of play and as 1t progressed it increased in the rapidity of the play of both teams until 1t became fast and fu- rious. The last few minutes of the sec ond half were the most thrilling ones that the spectators at B. A. c. games have experienced in many a day and in spite of the great cheering of the crowd and the strained efforts of the players as they responded to the urging of their followers the half ended with the score marked up at g for both teams.
 When the extra five minutes of play began many of the B. A. c. supporters who had been, tense with excitement and cheering their team on with all the enthusiasm that ono can eXpend in such moments of high nervous tension realized that with Hahn and Mandy and Floyd all out of the game on ac- count of fouls the Clubbers were at a disadvantage. This feeling that the home team was in danger of dosing a hard-fought game dampened the spirit of the crowd for a short space of time, pretty free throws, giving the Blues a two-point lead.
 HllIhurn Scores A little later the crowd raised anoth- CT great shout as, Ollie Hilburn put in field goal from a difficult angle, making the shot while in rapid motion This was the. last of the scoring and the final neri0d. andad with the Scnra 26 to S2 for the E. A. C.
 Armistead Leake, playing back guard for the Clubbers, bore the brunt of the battle, fought a harder fight than any man on either team and was the most valuable man to his team. His guard ing was excellent from all points of view and this game showed him to be an exceptionally good man for his po- sition.
 Hugh. Montgomery played a great floor game and was good on his free throws, making five of his ten trys count. Two of these came in the ex- tra period and put his team in the lead.
 Hub Hahn surpassed any playing that he has done here this year and was continually breakig into the Auburn of fense to the Tigers disadvantage, and the good fortune of the Clubbers.
 Mandy was unable to get enough loop on the ball to get in any field goals, al though his shots were perfect so faf as direction was concerned. He made three free throws count.
 | Hungry Floyd, who went into the game in the last half, rang up three field goals when the Blues needed them most. The old-timer Is still arsenic.

 Work In Preparation For Football Season At Alabama Next Year \

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Feb. 16.-(Spe- cial.)-By bootins field goal from the 1s-yard line in the last three seconds of play, Grant Giillis eleven earned . 8 to victory here this afternoon In the third game of the 'Bama spring train ing program. ..r.* s
 The Flight Rocks" and 'sRedtops'' entered the game with one win each to their credit. The latter won the open ing game of the series two weeks ago, while Giliis' clan won the second game . week ago. The "Redtops" were strengthened by having Pooley Hubert calling signals and playing fullback. This was Hubert's first engagement in spring training and he showed some real class. 5
 Ben Comptons heavy foot was the cause of the Eight Rocks" victory after 1t seemed the game would end in a tie. The Hubert Barnes eleven had worked the ball down the field to within striking distance when Holmes intercepted-& pass on his S5-yard line and two other passes to- Hussey and Jones were completed. Three seconds remained when Compton placed the pig skin neatly over the crossbar..
 Listless Game
 The game today was listiess through out, very few times causing those out to get excited. Neither team threatened seriously to score in the first half. On the opening kickoff. Gillis' eleven forced Hubert's team back to the goal line for three straight losses, aggregating go yards. Barnes punted out and on the next play the Flight Rocks" fumbled and Crisp recovered.

Hank" was taking part In the melee and did some mighty good work. One of the few thrills came in the second quarter. Pubert's eleven had the ball on their two-yard line and Barnes dropped back to punt out. Instead, Hupert crashed off tackle for 50 yards and after couple of.ishorter gains, crashed off the other tackle for 70 more yards, placing the ball on the S6-yard line. But 1t only meant another bunting duel for tho rest of the half.
 ; PaSses Completed
 Completion tt several passes in the second half thres tened to score several times Barnes shot one 10 Hubert for . 10-yard gain and followed 1t up with one to Brows. for 15 yards, sending the oval to the 25-yard line Giilis in turn retaliated with. one to Hussey for 10 yards and several shorter ones. Hussey made one of the prettiest catches of the day later in the game, juggling the ball and turning flip to noid it.
 Jones, Johnston, Caldwell and Kimble were the ends used in the game. Jones played the best game, charging hard and holding a couple of passes. Cald- well did some neat blocking and tack ling. Pickard was the, outstanding tackle of the day, and the freshman looks mighty sweet fo- next years varsity team. A little green at the be- ginning of this year, he improved a great deal under Coach vandegraaf.
 "Sherlock" Holmes and Soonfe Young mixed 1t up at center and 1t looked like Holmes got the best of 1t the way op- posing backs were yelling about that center getting through.
 The backfields pitted against each other were Gillis, Whitaker, Erwin, Hussey and Cowley against Barnes, Brown, Hubert, Paget and Crisp.

The seating capacity of the new Phillips High au- ditorium being the largest that Bir- mingham has ever been able to boast | for basketball purposes, this game should mark the beginning of new and better things in the way of basketball for Birmingham. # The Pedagogues will also play at the l auditorium this week in connection with the Phillips Woodlawn game.
