BASKETBALL LEAGUE

are forming an eight-club city league to
play on the new Harriet island basket
ball courts. The Central high school is
expected to furnish three clubs. the A.
A. A. three and the Y. M. c. A. two. Ali
of these have fine material to select
from and are anxious to keep their men
in practice during the summer, as this is
expected to make them all the better
when the regular basketball season opens
in the fall.
SO far the high school clubs are the
only ones which have completed organ
iZations, but these will hold their first
practice on the island this evening" the
weather man permitting. AS they are
not recognized by the school board they
cannot use the school name, but the last
years regular team will use the name
of the Brecky club a high school or
ganization., The sophomore team, which
won second place in the interclaSS tourna-
ment, will call themselves simply the
SophomOres and the third team has not
yet selected its name.
The Brecky club team will be composed
of Arthur Mcdonald George Foster Jay
Strane, Pat Connolly and John Bunker.
The Sophomore representatives will be
Henry HorwitZ. Chester Emory. Archie
Strane. Frank Ellison and Joy Peterson
the third high school team will be com
posed of Horace Haldeman. Walter NAL
and George Woods. The Y NJ G. A
team will probably consist of Abels John
son. Meacham. Hanson and Bingham.
The league will meet some time nex'
week for the election of officers. adoption
of a constitution arrangement of SEIZED
ule etc. and the first game will probably
be played on the Fourth of July.
