1t has been decided to shake up the bas
ketball team by changing about some of
the players. This has been found neces-
sary because OF tho leans great weakness

The team needs at least two good cool
accurate goal tossers without them the
good work of the clever backs going for
naught. Some of The players believe there
is a hoodoo in the ranks. Collins has en-
deavored TO give il shape With his pencil.
and the several cartoons rejecting his be-
whole team tumbled into the f. A. C.
