The organization of a basket ball
league in the eastern end of the state
which will include teams from Win
nemucca, E1ko and Ely high schools
is being contemplated. J.. 1. Cazier,
manager of the Elko basket ball team,
is the prime mover in the formation
of the new association, and in a letter
to Principal Carr extends an invitation
to Ely to join the league. The Win
nemucca team is strongly in favor of
the project.
A similar league has been formed in
the western part of the state, and the
following high schools are represent
ed: Goldfeld, Reno, Carson and the
University High school. A series of
games for the championship has al
ready been arranged.
The Elko manager suggests that
the high schools in the eastern end of
Nevada proceed along similar lines,
and through a series of games de-
termine what team is entitled to the
championship. A final series could be
agreed upon between the two cham
pions.
The Elko team entered into negotia
tions with Principal Carr for a game
with Ely at Elko and a return en-
gagement at Ely. Mr.. Car is satisfied
with the terms proposed by the Elko
school, and nc trouble will be encoun-
tered in arranging for the games. The
girls as well as the boys in the Ely
high school will take an active inter
est in basket ball, and expect to have
a strong team.
