have not announced their schedules 8
yet but both VIII no doubt have tour
namenrs Last year Santa Rosa had
one Of the strongest nVes in the league
and viii put in a good team this year.
Petaluma and Heads burg are also in
terested In basket bali, but nothing
definite has been heard from them.
Oakland again appears TO have the
best opportunity Of winning the basket
ball championship with its veteran
deam as they have the advantage Of
having Frank BOek, their physical di-
rector. as coach. BOek is one Of the
best basket ball men ever rurned out
on this coast and participated in the
first game Of basket ball ever played
here number Of years ago at the oak
land Y. A. G. A He played for several
years on both the Oakland Y. N. c. A
and Reliance athletic club flves.
Chairman Lionel A. Wolff Of the Pa
committee viii leave for Los Angeles
on Tuesday nights Owl train to make
arrangements 10 bring five Of the best
southern California basket ball teams
here for the big championship tourna-
ment. Southern California has always
been strong for the game and for the
past hVe or six years have been running
championship tournaments under the
Mems amateur basket ball league. From
5 TO 20 teams have participated in
these affairs and all the games have
been well attended. It is a cinch that
any team that comes UP from the
southern country viii prove a formid-
able opponent for any team we may put
out here. for most Of the players are
men OF greater experience than our
local players
The athletes Of is or 20 years ago
who at that time were prominent in
the list Of Olympic club sprinters are
taking consi derable interest in the rs
yard dash which Commissioner Frank
o Kane viii run off for their benefit
at the indoor games to be given by the
club on February at the Auditorium
rink These has beens are all IN train
ing now for this great event. There is
James O'Kane. Phil Wand, Frank
O'Kane. George James. Jack Cunning
ham. Steve Cassidy, William Kennealey,
Stanley Fay. Fred Butz and one or two
others who viii take the greatest in
terest in the event Phil Wand had the
best record OF the crowd and when at
his best ran the 100 IN from 1OH to
10 3-5. while James O'Kane probably
was the next best, and when I Ques-
-tiOned q prominent Olympian as to
whom he thought could win now he
thought IL would rest between these
two former champions The event is
ali the talk around the Post street
clubhouse and several dinners have
already been wagered on the outcome
