 In fact they're all learning so fast that there's little chance of any one well-drilled squad rompng off with the conference honors. The 1881 season finds at least a dozen quintets in competition for confer ence laurels.

 Alabama has reat club, with eight of the ten regulars from the 1s30 titular outfit back. Coach Hank Crisp lost his best forwards, O'Neil and Smith, but Hood and Joyce, centers; Wambysgans guard or for ward; Walter and Malcolm Laney,

 Sugar. Hugret member of the New York University court squad, led the winners in their attack SCOT ing eight points. He was the pivot in smooth passing game uncorked hy the alumni that kept the Endefs on the move throughout the entire game.
 The first half developed irto Il close battle with neither team having the edge until just before thc whistle for the rest period. At that tune, the alumni team had d tWo- point lead, 12 to 70.
 The Endees put on speed in the second half but the All-Stars matched their stride and managed to keep their lead and. more than that add two points to the edge, thereby becoming the winners by margin Of four points.
 Stan Richtmycr was the outstaud . ing star for tho Endces. Playing at left forward, he cagod 10 points.

 Tickets For the Johnson
 Fight.
 Tex Rickard and J. J. Gleason sent me plimentary tickets for the Jeffries-Johnson fight in Reno in 1910. I combined business with pleasure by taking over few car loads of beer to supply the wide open saloons.
 As an advertising stunt, and for a made resembling the real fight tickets, but advertising the Maier brewery.
 The moochers, grifters, gimme guys, etc, were all out in full force as at every big fight. My friends handlers would single me out. and had a lot of enjoyment out of listening to their blandishments, and studying their technique.
 When the crash would come. I'd take them aside. so into my inside vest pocket, and slip them the brew cry advertising tickets, with warn- ing to put them away at once, before the whole town was after me. They'd do so without examining the tickets.
 As the crowds got bigger, I'd put couple in my breast coat pocket and saunter through the throngs. Some of the light-fngered gentry would get them. Which proves, I'm sorry to say, that everybody isn't honest.
 After the fight. I waited over a day in Reno. Before leaving, I call ed on Rickard to congratulate him on the success of his big venture.
 And always remember, Tex, I'll be glad 10 do something for you and Gleason any time l can" I told him. Tex looked at me with that poker face immobile. except for the chew ing of his cigar.
 You've certainly done plenty for US already Tim" he said-"but more for yourself"
 And he handed me a bunch Of about 50 of my Maier brewery ads which had been accepted as tickets by the eagle-eyed gate-keepers at the big fight.
