I t; ; PLEASED WITH PLANS
Representatives from Birmingham
College, Jefferson County High School,
Central High, Bessemer High, Ensley
High and Howard College completed
the organisation of the Birmingham
District Institutional Baseball League
at a meeting held at the Y. M. C. A.
Tuesday night.
The schedule adopted at this meet¬
ing covers a period of ten weeks, be¬
ginning Thursday, March 29. Howard
opens the seaeon with the Jefferson
County High School team at Howard
next Thursday.
It was agreed at this meeting that
no player would be eligible to play in
any of the series if he had won his let-
ter on a college team, or had played in
two college games this season. This,
means that reserve players of Howard
and Birmingham Colleges will be eligi¬
ble to take part in any of the series.
. For the first week, beginning March
29. Howard meets the Jefferson County'
team at Howard; Bessemer plays Bir¬
mingham at Birmingham, and Central
plays Ensley at Ensley.

Indications now arts that the Blr-
Bgharn Chamber of Commerce,
jked b r the Civic Association : and

Thomas M.
Owen, Director of the - State Depart¬
ment and Archives and History. In¬
dividuals connected with the college
have Interested themselves In the mat¬
ter recently and hope to be able to
locate the flag and return It to the
Institution. None of the authorities
at the college know anything of the
whereabouts of the flag.
Howard College sent a company into
the War on the side of the Confeder¬
acy. and the flag the company carried
was made and presented by girls of
Judnon College of Marlon. Howard Col¬
lege at the time of the war was sit¬
uated at Marlon. The presentation of
the flag was accompanied by consid¬
erable ceremony, which took place un¬
der an oak tree on the Judeon campus.
The tree la still standing and is known
as “Confederate Oak."
Realization of the fact that the
-United States Is virtually at war with
Germany gave rise to search for the
Howard flag. If the flag is found and
the college is able to get possession
of it, it probably will be placed In the
oollege library for display.
and Thuraday. These will be the flrat
games of the season tor the Howard
squad and It will be only then that Dr.
Lon gw ell will have a knowledge of
how much baseball the Baptist team is
capable of showing. Names of the play¬
ers to make this trip have not yet
been announced.
Following the contests with theMis-
sisaippl Aggies Howard will play the
University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa-
for two games, Friday and Saturday.
It is probable that some of the men
who do not make the trip to A., and
M. College will meet Dr. Longwell
at Tuscaloosa and get in the games
again et Alabama.
The Aggies and Alabama won oyer
the Howard team last year and both
school» are said to have the advant¬
age over the Bulldog team this year.
However, supporters of the Baptist
team have by no means conceded vic¬
tory and it is believed that Howard
has a good chance to win, having from
all appearances the best team in years. '
Because* of the cool weather, which
has prevailed since the beginning of
baseball practice at Howard, the candi¬
dates have had bat two or three real
workouts. These, however, havo been
sufflplent to show that although pros¬
pects are good elsewhere, there Is a
weak spot to the box and that those
who are doing the twirling for the team
will have to work much better than
usual,
“If we can develop a pitching staff
I believe we will put out a winning-**
baseball team this year " said Dr. Long-
well. “Some of the noys have the
prospects 6f pli^hers, but you never
ban tell how a fellow will show up un- ;
Ш
you see him In a real game. I
will be In better position to Judge our ij
material after the games have been
played next week.”
All the players on both the regular
team and the reserve are In good
physical condition. No one has been
injured seriously thus far. In spite

Work” was the subject of & talk made
by W. W. Adams, a Sophomore, to the
student body Wednesday morning at
Assembly exercises. ‘“Most students,"
said Mr. Adams, “are on the defensive
side.” * .
He then dealt with what he con¬
sidered the three main things which
partially put students on the delfensvle.
First, he mentioned the per cent sys¬
tem of grading the work by a student;
second, the amount of required work
In a course; and third, certain names,
such ad “bookworm” and “tightwad.’
Taking np these three points Mr.
Adams showed how they could be used
In arf offensive way. He dosed by
showing how the offensive could be ap¬
plied in after life;
