SOUTHERN LOOP
 TO HOLD MEETING
Ways And Means Of Helping Smaller Clubs
 To Come Up

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 13.-Ways and means of enabling the smaller clubs in the league to add to their money chests to insure more satis- factory financial return promises to furnish lively topic of debate when Southern association club owners meet here Monday for the annual winter meeting of the league.
 Dispatches from several league cities indicate that the question of financial aid for the clubs in the smaller cities will be one of the most important sub jCcts discussed. A new constitution also will be submitted, necessitated by the Lumber of amendments adopted since the draft of league laws was adopted, but no election will be held, the present league executive, John Martin, having been elected last year for a five-year term.
 Just what legislation may be pro- posed to render assistance to the small CT clubs has not been disclosed. Last season three of the clubs-Little Rock, Chattanooga and Mobile-were voted a specific sum from the sinking fund of the league, but whether this plan will be followed during the coming season is regarded as problematical. Other plans expected to be discussed include pro poSal that the clubs in the less populous cities be allowed greater percentage of the receipts of road games with a prospect that revisal of the rockies rule also may be considered.

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Dec. 13.- Especial. )-The first morsel of basket ball for this season will be served to the Capstone student body here Wednes- day night when Coach Crisp's rejuva- mated Crimson basketeers play Texan outfit, thes Baylor Bears.
 The probable starting lineup of the CrimSons is unknown at this time, all though it is practically certain that the quintet will be chosen from Hudson, McCiintock, Propst, Cohen, Stabler, Kaminsky, Chadwick and Mcdonald. The first five men seem to have the edge on the rest of the squad at this time. Captain "Slim" Carter will view the game from the side-lines.
 GilIis And Hubert
 The latest arrivals on the gymnasium floor for a try at the cage game are Grant Gillis and Pooley Hubert, two grid luminaries. Gillis was out short time last year but forsake the game. This year he is coming back with much speed and greater ease and Is apt to make the team. He was star cage artist while in high school. Little is known of Huberts ability, but the big Crimson fullback is showing a keen determination to learn and is apt to up set the plans of some other fellow about making the team.
 The gymnasium is being fixed up fo1 the cage season. One sector of seats

 Hard At Work On Court
Southern Opens With B. A. C. January 3-How-
 ard Plays Blues Following Week

Varsity basketball will go into It's last period before the Christmas holi- days at Birmingham-South Monday, when Coach Drew takes his first-string cagesters to the Birmingham Athletic club court for the remaining workouts before the vacation gets under way.
 Two straight weeks of practice has given the Panther atheltic mentor a lineup of his material, and the scrim- images each day have brought out the individual qualities of the players in such A fashion that now it seems al- most certain that Coach Drew will cut his squad within the next few days.
 Two divisions will thus be formed, the first to be Varsity regulars, while the second will form the reserve strength which may be called on at any time during the playing season to furnish re- inforcement to the first-strlng lineup.
 Letter wearers from last years squad are showing up well thus far, but are being pushed hard by the new influx of material Caldwell and Englebert, at the forward positions, continue their fine floor work, while McDorman, Teague and Kimbrough, the former at guard, and the latter two at center, re- spectively, are showing up in satis- factory manner.
 Of the remaining veterans back for the team, Hugh Stevenson and John Tate are strong contenders for for ward place, while ''Hot' Nelson, Hubert Hodges and a host of others are doing creditable work at guard.
 Big Jake" Hall, up from the fresh man ranks last year, is recent addition to the squad, and is running at center
 atk al Eddie Pace and Bill Jenkins are prom ising candidates who can be depended upon to furnish opposition in every department, and bid fair to break into the Varsity lineup before the season is far advanced.
 Since the Hilltop institution turns out school for the holidays Wednesday, cage practice will be brought to an abrupt halt on that date, and two weeks will elapse before the basketeers will again get in harness. The clarion call will be issued January Z, however, and a light workout that day will have to be sufficient training after Christ mas for the playing of the first sched- uled game, which comes the day follow ing, with the Birmingham Athletic club Blues furnishing the opposition. This contest will inagurate series of rapid-fire meets, which come with Ala bama, Auburn, Sewanee and other schools in quick succession, thus start ing busy season for the Panther cage sters. Manager Cole has announced that the schedule is taking form fast, and that by the time of the opening game will be practically completed. Road trips into Mississippi and Geor- gia will be feature events of the sea- tson, which will be climaxed with the S. A. A. tournament at Macon, in Feb l ruary.

That little sport pill, emblematic ot athletic endeavor, has grown into a big fellow now. In the spring of tha year, he was just little chap-Just a little golf ball to be knocked around by anybody, with no chance to get even except by hiding in the>t weeds. Ihen he became a hard boy, and as baseball dared anybody to get in his way with ont the protection of glove or bat. Sir Baseball was a great traveller, ana on the slightest pretext would go sailing all over Redwood park last summer.
 The little fellow was growing all the fine. and in the fall had gained quite a lot of knowledge. But due to the fact that he was kicked about consid- erably, the sport pill became somewhat shy at both ends, and took an oval shape as Mr. Football. He lived this Iopsided existence until a short time ago, when Sewanee knocked all the done out of him by walloping Wander bilt.
 Grows And Grows
 And now we have him emerging from h brief map. The rest has been very good for Mir. Pill, and he has become round and chubby again. Also, he is the huskiest of the crop, and IS big and as fat as New York baseball club dividend. We present for your ap- proval, MT. Basketball, the last of the tribe of sport pills. and the largest.
 Basketball in Birmingham is well on fits way towards its best season in Bir- mingham. All major teams have swung into practice with zest, while numerous minor quintes and several leagues have been playing regular bat tles for a week or more.

Prospects For Winning Quintet At Capstone Get
 Brighter As Practice Progresses

has already been laid on one side, and men are at work now laying additional seats on the other side and at both ends of the court. With these seats, and the balcony space, there will be suffi- cient seating capacity to have ample room for everyone.
 Garter On SideIines
 As Captain Garter remains on the sideline during practice every day, 1t is beginning to dawn upon many that the Crimson cage team is apt to be sadly weakened by his absence. No one has quite shown enough ability to make Carter's absence be forgotten, and it is with keen regret that everyone sees the Crimson machine being nodded without Carter at the pivot position.
 If Cater returns to the fold after the Christmas holidays in the best of shape, with all his keen shooting, great leadership and floor work, the Crimsons will rank again, as they have in the past few years, among the best cage teams in Dixie. With Carter out, Alabama will still have q team worthy of anyone staying awake at night to beat, but it will be minus-Carter club.
 McClintock At Center
 McClintock is being used some at center. This lad has shown much yer satility on the floor and he is apt to be used at the pivot position. While he is not as tall as Carter, he fills in very well. Propst and Stabler are also being used at center, and one of these three men will be the pivot-man if | Carter fails to return.
 Kaminsky and Gillis are tearing things up in an effort to land a berth on the squad. Gillis is fast and passes the ball well. Kaminsky is a former Lanier star, and has one of the steadi- est heads on the team. He is light and fast, like Salmon was last year, and is just little better shot than Salmon was. Both are apt to earn. varsity jerseys before many more days.
 Will Have Strong Five
 If Coach Crisp was forced to nut A team on the field at any time, he could present pretty smooth outfit to be picked from his candidates. Alabama will have team again this season that will furnish stiff opposition to her many opponents, whether Carter is back or not. Garter will just make it stronger
 The freshman outfit and the coed team are also getting in some hefty strokes at the gymnasium, and both teams bid fair to be rather strong. Ii IS believed that the freshman squad will be able to hold its own against all teams they play as they have a dearth Of material, many of them the out. standing prep players of last year ir Alabama.

Local Colleges, B A. C., Y.M C. A. Leagues And
 High Schools Take To Court

The City and Sunday school leagues have begun their schedules already, and the brand of basketball displayed hints that a game of a higher calibre will be played this season.
 Panthers And Bulldogs
 Howard and Birmingham-Southre local college rivals, have each starter practice The Partners started d bit ahead of the Bulldogs, but then the Owenton collegians play their first game sooner than their East Lake rivals.
 Coach Ervin's B. A. c. Blues, who open their regular season on December 26 will meet the Panthers on January 8, but will not encounter the Bulldogs until later on in the month. The Blues have a great schedule, and will bring to Birmingham such teams as Auburn, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Sewanee, Missis- sippi A. and M., and Atlanta Tthletic club. That serves fandom the very cream of the south for a menu.
 High School Teams
 Among the high schools. Simpson has been practicing since September, and the 1924 Southern and state prep champions seem determined to reeat their title win ming performances of last year. Uni versity High has been getting in some practice already. Woodlawn High school will start it's work Monday, al though the other city schools may de- lay their opening until around the first of the year.
 All county schools are looking for a good season, while the state as whole can depend upon excellent representa- ton in Auburn and Alabama.

TIGERS TO TAKE
 COURT JOURNEY.
Play Two Games Before Holidays-Squad Lacks
 Experience

AUBURN, Ala, Dec. 13.-(Special.) The task of building basket ball squad at Auburn is fast taking shape. men from last years squad, Coach With the return of only three letter Bunker is experiencing considerable diffuciulty in getting the 1925 cam paigners trained for the competition in store for them after the holidays season While the team personnel is still doubt full, the floor coach is making rapid strides to select players to fill in vacancies caused by last years gradu- ation and to give the new men suffl- cient training before the season opens to make a creditable showing in the games that are being scheduled by the athletic officials.
 With hardly any places cinched on the squad roster, much interest is be- ing manifesto by the candidates in an effort to gain sufficient recognition to be numbered amongst the varsity out fit.
 Wallace Mckinney, captain of the 1925 team, at guard, and a brother Bill Mckinney, at forward, will in all probabilities play their same positions as last year, while Barks, the third letter man and who was on the re- serve string last year as guard, IS ex- Dected to come around for his best year this season and should be of consider able value in making up the team. Along with Barks at guard is Gray of Jasper, former Walker county high star, who is showing up well in the workouts thus far and had considerable experience last year. Kaley of Warrior and Bud Mckinney, two recruits from last years freshman team, are also in the scrap for a job at the guard position.
 Many Good Prospects
 At center Lon, from Cullman, who made his debut in varsity football cir cles last fall and who played center of the freshman floor team last spring, is making a string bid for permanent assignment. Midgett, former Barton Academy star, and who played sub- center last season, is another likely looking contender for the pivot position. Among the new forwards who are showing up we'll are: Hall, Evans, Ware and Cummings. Hall was center on the freshman squad last year and halls from the Jefferson county high school Evans comes over from the scrub out fit and is another performer of the Bar ton Academy teams to came to Auburn Ware who was on the squad last season | is from Birmingham. Cummings is from Gordo, Ala. Another promising perform CT and who has not yet been assigned to any paticular task on the team IS Doughtie, from Columbus, Ga.
 Two preseason games have been ar ranged for the Plainsmen before the Christmas holidays. These contests are to be played with Mercer University ir Macon on December 17 and Albany "Y' in Albany on December IS. Immediately following their return to Auburn after Christmas, the Plainsmen will go to New Orleans for couple of games witt Tulane University on January 5 and

Birpningham's major basket ball sea- son will be opened with Yuletide cheer On the night of December 26 the Blues of the Birmingham Athletic club play their first game, meeting the Baylor Bears. who pass through Birmingham m that date while on their annual year-end tour.
 Although the opening of the season ia still a week and half away, Coach Erwin has been working his men at speedy clip for some tibe. he squad practices every night but Saturday and Sunday. Monday night the Blues will scrimmage Coach Shelton's Howard freshmen.
 Has Good Prospects
 Coach Erwin has nice bunch ot ma terial on hand, including practically the same bunch as last year, with several newcomers who show real worth. Among the new men are Tom Anderson Jesse Duke and Fred Hahn, who have had previous experience on former Ala bama and Auburn quintets. Ham Ste yens, former Howard star, is also listed as a Blue candidate, although Ham has not started attending practices regularly yet.
 ManQy, f1uD I1dnu anu CAiC -Ao4i. Romery, three standbys of last years Blue quintet, are back for another sea son, and all seem to be going along nicely.
 Tn practices Coach Erwin has been trying various combinations, although he seems to have used this one more frequently than the others: Tom An derson and Ollie Hilburn, forwards Hub Hahn, center; Armstead Leake and Jesse Duke, guards.
 Different Combinations
 Hahn has been worked as forward some, with Hillburn going to center Hugh Montgomery and Handy have been worked at the guards in other combi- nations tried by Coach Erwin. As yet it is too early to try to dope out the lineup Coach Erwin will start against the Bears the night after Christmas.
 One change has been made in the B. A. c. schedule. Howard will not be met on the night of January 3, as pre- viously announced. In place of the Bulldogs, Mississippi A. and M. will bt encountered on January 6.
 The revised schedule follows: De cember 26, Baylor university; January 8, Birmingham-Souther January G. Mississippi A and M; January 10

With the first half week of practice over, the basket ball tangle at Howard college has not as yet unraveled itself into anything resembling a straight line of dope. As yet there are just about five positions on the team wide open' awaiting the deed of possession by the most ambitious of the lot of basketeers reporting for early practice. This in- formation was given out by Coacn Stubbs and, with the exception of list of names, just about covers the Ileid of knowledge concerning the 1920 bull- dog quintet.
 The squad in the rough, from whlch if is hoped a fast moving, well-formed combination can be hewn, contains the names of five veterans and over a dozen prominsing recruits. The final squad ihe one to make the trips being planned by Manager Knight, will include around nine or ten varsity performers.
 The five letter men to return are Coach Stubbs, Captain Scokel, Hughle Wells, Hank Knight and Raburn wear With the exception of Wear, who IS essentially guard, the veterans are all combination players, capable or play ing at almost any of the positions on the basket ball court.
 Coach Stubbs, who performs equally as well as a center or a forward-and performs very we'll at either-will probably adjust his own position accord ing to the showing of some of the new men. If Hugenschmidt, Douglas or some of the others can come through with a good brand of basket ball at cen ter. Stubbs will probably take over forward. Captain Scokel, who is also an excel lent running guard, will more than like ly be used at a forward this year, as Wells finished the 1924 season with some mighty good work at running guard.
 Coach Stubbs will more than likely try to develop a center from the new corners, and shift over to forward him. self. In that case, it would seem to the close observer of the Bulldogs that cen ter and a back guard would round out the quint in fine shape. Stubbs, Scokel and Wells make an excellent nucleus around which to build the team.
 Knight and Wear, both of whom saw considerable service last season, stand an excellent chance to fit into the com bination. Knight is rangy enough tc fill in as a center, while Wears natura position is guard.
 The list of newcomers shows fail promise. A whole raft of men come III from last years reserves, team whicf performed in the city league. Hugen schmidt, Douglas, T. o. Smith, Olir Smith, Chuck Speir, Frank Lowery Snake Rains and one or two others al performed in that league last season.
 In addition to these men are a few others, with varied degrees of cour experience.
 Although the schedule is not yet com pleted, the opening date has tentativel! been announced as January 5, whel the Bulldogs meet the B. A. c. Blue on the Athletic club court. The Bull dog Blue battles are annually amonl the best of the season for Birmingham as the East Lakers always cherish tn ambition to wallop the Clubbers.
 The Bulldogs started practice late than usual, but Coach Stubbs hopes t get in few workouts before the holi days, and then plans to hop right int rigid training immediately after tn Christmas recess is over.
