ENSLEY GIRLS
 BEAT SIMPSON

The simpson co.ed sextet fell before the Ensley girls team Thursday eve- ming at the B. A. C., by Q 2s to 16 score, when the Yellow Jacket team won the second and deciding game of the series, which determined which city team should represent the district at the state girls tournament at Montevailo next week.
 The ability of the Ensley forwards to evade the guarding of the Simpson girls enabled them to keen the lead gained early in the game. the Simpson girls playing them point for point after nine count lead early in the game. The fact that an Ensley center was always on hand to take the ball as it passed the court also influenced the final decision as wearers of the gold and black showed an ability to keep the bali in their possession,
 There were no outstanding individual stars in the game, good brand of basketball being shown by practically every player on the floor. although the scoring ability of Watkins for Ensley and Elizabeth Morris for Simpson was noticeable, each ringing half of the total score for their side, several substitu- tions being made among the forwards. Coming into the game at the opening of the second half Gus" Graves, Ems ley forward, played an excellent game, as did Whitten at guard and G. Fall low at center. For Simpson "Curley" Harris played a good game for the time she was at guard Blaneh Winters re- maining for the entire four periods of the position.
